Writers:Share - Get paid to leave comments!

Hi Guys,

I just joined this new site called Writers:Share.
http://www.writersshare.co.uk/

Basically you leave a comment of about 2-4 papragraphs and as long as the editors approve of it then it gets published and you recieve £1 per comment. They pay directly into paypal every friday, no matter how much you have earnt! I joined last night and I was paid £2 for my 2 comments today.

They also give 25p for every comment to charity.

After 50 comments your money goes up to £1.50 per comment and after 500 comments you get a £50 bonus.

I thought I would share this with all you people who are looking for an easy way to supplement your income, I grant you it isn't a lot of money but at the same time, it all adds up and it takes about a minute to write each comment.

    what does it mean by the spam thing at the bottom please?

    What spam thing?

    I have tried it and there was an anti-spam box at the bottom of the page. You have to enter the answer to the question in this box. In my case the question was what is 7 + 9 so I had to enter 16 in the box.

    This is to make sure that it is a real person posting the comment and not a robot just posting a spam comment to advertise a web site.

    It's nothing to worry about, just read the question and type the answer into the box.
  • It seems there is no garaunte that they will use your comment. It seems like they only a specific amount of comments for each topic, so you could spend a while writing comments that never get used. I think it'd be ok if you just spent a few minutes a day writing the comments but sitting there trying to earn £10 an hour with the possibility of getting nothing out of it seems like a bit of a gamble. I have had a go so I'll let you know how I get on. It states that it can take upto 5 working days to get confirmation that your comment will be used, then you recieve payment the following Friday as OP stated.
    It'd be good if it was more like slice the pie where you earn every time you do it, even if it was just a few pence. But you gotta be in it to win it ey

    Thanks for this. It's a slightly bizarre combination of topics, but it's got to be worth a shot, right? ;)
