Bukisa v. Associated Content

The very first article I have “published” online was through Associated Content. I was thrilled at the prospect of working from home and making money through online writing. I know from experience that Associated Content is a reliable, legitimate website that will pay you. However, you can probably earn more money elsewhere.

There are positive aspects of Associated Content; I’m not trying to tell you others. They offer upfront payment and payment based on page views. However, the amount of upfront payments Associated Content offers seems to be going down. All of the articles I’ve ever submitted to Associated Content have earned me less than $5 in upfront payment. It’s not just me, either: other work at home writers I’ve spoken to have complained of Associated Content’s low upfront payment. That said, however, if you need money right NOW, Associated Content might be what you need.

If you play it smart, however, Bukisa might prove to make your more money over time. While Bukisa does not offer upfront payment, they offer more than double what Associated Content offers as far as performance payments. Plus, you retain the rights to your article with Bukisa. The key to making money with Bukisa is doing keyword research and making sure you’re writing articles on topics that people are searching more.

In short, Associated Content is fine if you need upfront payment right now and don’t mind the lower payment. Bukisa, on the other hand, is an amazing way to earn residual income.
