Pros:
- Bukisa's rate of pay per view is far higher that of other online publishers, meaning earnings can be far higher if articles are marketed effectively.
- The Bukisa website is clean in appearance and easy to navigate.
- Articles and other forms of media are displayed in a professional manner, with no pop-ups or hugely distracting adverts appearing in completely inappropriate places (as is the case with some competitors)
- Bukisa offers a referral system and professional looking banner ads to its members, allowing them to increase their earnings by referring fellow freelance writers to publish their articles at Bukisa.
- Bukisa has recently created a new widget, allowing members (or their friends and relatives) to display their articles on other websites, such as blog pages, facebook, other social networking profiles, and individually owned webpages.
- Bukisa's crrent rate of pay per thousand views (this does fluctuate slightly) is displayed on the website at all times, and all articles are paid at the same rate.
- The quality of the articles published on the Bukisa website is generally slightly higher than those published on websites owned by other amateur freelance publishers.
Cons
- Bukisa is a relatively new publisher with fewer members than many similar sites. As such, internal traffic is low.
- Bukisa allows previously published articles to be republished, which will eventually impact search engine results, with one of the articles being ignored in results. This could be detrimental, depending on exactly how you use Bukisa, and which other publishers you use (including self-publishing on a blog).
- Bukisa provides the option of uploading a thumbnail (which increases the chances of the article being viewed by other Bukisa members), or choosing from their own image suggestions, which are virtually never suitable. The system for adding images to articles is also less simple than that of competitor Triond, although a simple solution to this is to create the article using the Triond text editor and simply copy it in its entirety (including images) over to Bukisa to publish.
- Earnings sometimes mysteriously increase and decrease overnight, although this seems to rectify itself eventually, without any loss of earnings for members.
Bukisa is an online publisher that publishes articles and other forms of media produced by its members. Bukisa members earn money through the advertising revenue their articles or other media generates, and are paid via PayPal on a monthly basis, as long as the minimum pay-out level has been reached. It is possible for members to edit the monthly pay-out level from the default setting of $10 to either $25, $50, $100, $200 or $500, or even to put payment on hold indefinitely, until enough funds are saved for a particular project.
Bukisa pays its members a very high rate per view in comparison with other online publishers, and for those with an understanding of SEO and marketing or promotional techniques, Bukisa can provide a reasonable wage. However, they don't appear to have a particularly high page ranking, which may be due to the fact they republish articles previously published on other websites (providing the publisher owns the original rights), so Bukisa may be a better option for those with large numbers of subscribers on social networking and bookmarking sites.
Bukisa pays in a timely manner and usually deals with complaints within a reasonable time-frame, although there are some members who say they have been completely ignored when asking for assistance. Technical problems in general seem to be reducing in number since last year, when the site was often down, and logging in was sometimes impossible. Thankfully, Bukisa seems to be on top of the problem, and have recently updated the dashboard and added some new features to improve functionality.
Although there's no forum at Bukisa, members do have the ability to make friends with, or becomes fans of, other members, and it is possible to build a loyal and supportive network of followers within the Bukisa community by leaving comments on other author's articles, and responding to those left on your own.
Overall, Bukisa can be a financially rewarding venue for those willing and able to promote their articles with the use of blogs, social bookmarking sites, email marketing, and other internet tools, such as forums. The site is easy to use and articles are published in a professional manner.
