Well, things have drastically changed since I posted this. They haven't paid my redemption since that ate.
They didn't pay me mine either

Well, things have drastically changed since I posted this. They haven't paid my redemption since that ate.
They didn't pay me mine either. I have been hearing that most people didn't get paid in the month of August though because of the updates they were making. I am due to redeem again soon, so I will let you know. Others are saying that you need to credit were you get your pictures from also. So I am going to make sure I have done that before I next redeem as well. Most of my pictures come from Wikimedia Commons, which are free to use. One or two come from royalty free pictures sites. So I am going to make sure I have stated this at the bottom of each article & then redeem. See if it makes a difference.
I joined Bubblews about two weeks ago. I became skeptical about the site after reading about the many people that haven't gotten paid. I decided to give it a try anyway. I decided if I did not get paid from my first redemption that I would not spend anymore time there. On Monday I claimed my first redemption and by Thursday I received an email from Bubblews saying my e-check has been sent to PayPal. My payment is pending and should clear in 3-5 days. So far I am liking this site. Since my first redemption went well I am going to keep on writing. Hopefully I will continue to get paid..
Well, things have gone really downhill now. I don't think I will be spending any more time over there unless they fix these issues.
I'm still writing on the site because I haven't redeemed for a while. I love the community on the site also. I've been crediting all my pictures and hoping that's the reason why I wasn't paid. So many others have said they are checking these things now, so I have been making sure I have followed all the rules and see what happens when I next redeem.
How long did it take you to get approved for specialties by Scripted? I applied two days ago and still haven't heard anything.
And no need to be sorry, I really appreciate you talking about Scripted, Demand Media, and Constant Content. You just gave me a couple of interesting avenues for work. I recently learned about iWriter and Yahoo! Voices (their contributor outlet). I'm really looking forward to getting some pieces published somewhere that has potential for high traffic (to add to my CV), while getting paid, while just practicing my writing.
Yeah, that's hat happens when you don't get paid and don't hear from them. You start presuming that it was you who did it all wrong.
About crediting images... I just recently decided to give Bubblews a shot and I'm only using my own images, since I'm something of a hobbyist photographer and have thousands upon thousands of digital photographs just lying around on my back-up drive. But some of these photos have been used elsewhere in other articles and blog posts I've written for various sites. Does anyone know how they're verifying copyright on images? Am I likely to run into problems with my own shots if they've been previously published?
I know Bubblews doesn't exactly offer much writer support, and I'd hate to put in the time there if they're going to withhold payment even though I've done nothing wrong.
Well I did do a few things wrong. I never credited my pictures for one which is against the rules. Now that I have done that I will keep going and redeem one more time. If they don't pay me this time I will probably move my content to Triond.
I have just started over at Bubblews and it seems like an easy way to make some extra money. The key seems to be to connect with lots of people and be an active part of the community - although this definitely takes more of your time.
I haven't reached the $25 redemption yet though. I have been following all the rules I could find to a tee so let's hope I have no issues.
They should tell us upfront when we do things wrong and violate their TOS rather than waiting for us to give up on it and making money for themselves.
