List updated

Well, as I prmosied in my previous blog post, I addded two new sites to the list.

First one's Firehow, under "Sites which specialise in certain writing categories". It's a how-to article website, and it only pays US residents.

The next one's Redgage. While technically it does pay non-US residents, there's a cap of on earnings that they don't mention anywhere on their site.

I'll explain.

Redgage pays via the Redgage card, a card that they ship to you when you have earned your first $25. THey charge $5 for the shipping. From then on, you withdraw from Redgage via your card.

Here's the catch. After your first transfer, you'll have to register with a giftcards site, which you won't be able to unless you are a US resident.

And no, you don't have to withdraw when you have made $25. They allow you to withdraw in increments of $25, which given the "invisible cap" they have imposed, means that you are actually better off holding your earnings there and then withdrawing in one shot.

Minor update

Just realised that I missed Absolute Write back when I split the "Forums and Blogs" from the rest of the "Sites Where Publishers Will Post Job Requests" section (which was months ago). Have shifted it to the "Forums and Blogs" section.

FAQ

Why is the date for this post set way in the future? When I started this post back in 2008, I wanted this post to be at the top of my blog. Since the more recent blog posts appear higher at the top, I hit on the idea of setting this blog post way in the future. (In hindsight, this was a rather inelegant solution.) What is Iakul's List ? I stumbled into online freelance writing back in 2008. Started complying a list of sites where I could get paid to write, and hence Iakul's List was created. Is Iakul's List still being updated? I used to investigate a site quite thoroughly before I was willing to put it on my list. It took a lot of time and effort, which at this point simply isn't worth my while to expend. However, I'm still unwilling to compromise on the checks I put a site through. I do still plan to update and add new sites to Iakul's List, but expect my updates to be more sporadic. Quite a number of the site descriptions are also outdated, and...

Bukisa

Just published an article about Bukisa at Triond. Bukisa is a new writing site which came out in late 2008. Currently the site itself has less than stellar English and apparently doesn't care about the quality of published content itself, so long as said content has a word count of at least 250 words and is in English. This has resulted in stuff like "(body of article)get paid to write get paid to write get paid to write...." and poems that keep repeating themselves. I'm guessing that the word count stipulation is for them to ensure that they get higher PPC (pay per click) ads based on keyword targeting, and not to ensure the quality of an article. That's just a guess though, and I'm not about to go around spreading this theory of mine. They already have enough going against them without me adding to it, lol. I also found the site itself too liberal with the use of words like "exciting", "revolutionary", "innovative" for my taste....
