Is it worth joining Bukisa?

Having spent three happy months with Triond where the earnings are low ($0.50 to $1.50 per 1000 clicks) but the community is fantastic (!!), I looked at Bukisa where the earnings are much higher ($3.42 per 1000 clicks) but the community is pretty much non-existent.

The idea is to recruit a team (Bukisa pays a commission - the "joiner" doesn't lose out), which I am doing, and work with them to jointly promote and champion work. The community can be compensated for by having a Facebook group, where updates are notified and there is chat as well as messaging.

So, if anybody wants to join my fledgling team, click here:


See you there and happy writing!!
