No More Bubblews: Wonder What Happened to Arvid and Tyler

     It is sad that there is no more Bubblews but yet it is a good thing. It is too bad the site went to the dogs. When I first started writing there it was a great site. Then as my blog posts have stated it went downhill fast.

     I wonder what has happened to the two who created and destroyed the site. Arvid and Tyler. Near the end they pretty much became ghosts.

     I have a book about my funny Bubblews posts but it never did that great, mostly because no on cared much about them anymore.

     So this will most likely be my last post in this blog. I wish all the bubblews writers well and hope you are all finding good writing sites. So far I've not had much luck online.

New and Improved Bubblews Site Makes Me Go Hmm

     So Bubblews launched its new and improved site. I notice they have a lot of neat features, you can now see how many views you recieve, there is a delay to like a post which is supposed to make some people read the post. There are other changes I haven't found yet.

     I am not sure I like the new design, it is very busy and a lot of ads flashing and flickering about. I don't like that there is no way to make a paragraph break so the sentences just run together. But then the site is not about quality writing, it is about socializing.

     They do have a way to help bring outside traffic I think but why bother, they don't pay for that.

     I won't go there anymore than I did because of the low pay. The pay is what made me leave. I just can't work for pennies a month. 

Bubblews Bubble Burst

     I don't go to Bubblews often because well, while it is nice to read online stuff and commuincate online, I don't have time to just play online. I have to make a living and feed my family. I used to go to Bubblews for some extra money and had fun there too. Then they changed things and of course as we all know they no longer appreciated good articles and those who were there only wanted fluff. I complied and had fun for a while making a bit of change along the way.
    
     Then the bottom dropped out, the bubble burst. Income on Bubblews became pretty much non existent.

      I cashed out in January and have made $21.00 since. Actually most of that was in late Jan, since about Feb I have earned $3.00 maybe. Granted I don't write there much, I don't' communicate much and I'm just not there much. There are some interesting things to read but much of the writing there is very short and really not much meat to it. If it is long it is very long and more than I want to read. Sometimes there's that middle ground but it just is not my cup of tea anymore and, there's pretty much no income which bottom line, is the reason I am there.  I can socialize on Fb and that is what it is for, the other sites are for income.

     I mostly go back to Bubblews from time to time to see if maybe things are getting bettter there, so far they are not...so as the bubble burst, my interest waned. I still hope people will purchase my book.

  The World of Bubblews Fluff and Stuff

Bubblews Gone to the Dogs

So I decide every so often to check out Bubblews to see what is up there. I checked today and found many of the posts to be just social media type posts. I guess that is what the site is about but it is not what I am about. I find what someone had for dinner or how they pooped that day very boring. I know people don't write about poop there but it is about that exciting for me.

I still find it very sad that a site which had such promise and was a great and fun place to write has gone to the dogs in just a year. The site is so well set up too. But there is no meat to the content. Plus the pay is so low that it is not worth it. Granted the pay blogging is not much better but at least here I am not lining someone elses pockets.

Will I go to Bubblews from time to time? Sure why not, there is always hope things get better. But I know I will never redeem my small $25.25 which is where I have been at for months.

Things are Still Dismal My Bubblews Book is More Fun

Well I decided to write a bit on Bubblews the last week or so. I was bored and wanted to write a little fluff. I must admit that I do miss the simplicity of the site and the layout. The layout is actually easy to work around and pleasing. It is too bad the site is like a graveyard.

I wrote nothing much more than fluff but that is what people liked there last year. I only received around 6 likes and a few comments for the mot part of all of my posts. That is the average.

My last blog on April 18 stated I hit $20.00. Well now I am at a whopping $20.23. So I made .23. Yea that is worth writing the fluff and stuff. Not.  I mostly go there once in a while so I have something to say about it here.

I think my book on Kindle The World of Pooh is much more fun than the actual site.

Update! I Made A Penny

WOW I am finally at $20.00 after months on Bubblews.  I held at $19 for a long time and watched it creep up penny by penny. Granted I don't do much there anymore but even if I did I wouldn't make that much. I am pretty much done with Bubblews. It is a waste of my time and energy and the things people write there for the most part are not that great anyhow. Once in a while there's something good but for the most part it is pooh.

My Bubble Test Results: Earnings Still Too Low

I decided to do a test again on Bubblews to see if maybe the earnings have increased. I'd heard from some writers that they had increased a bit. You have to write at least five posts, share on three sites and communicate with other writers there to earn.

I decided only to take 30 minutes of my life to do this test, my time is just way too valuable to spend anymore than that on Bubblews writing.

I wrote five posts, nothign much, just a bunch of fluff. I did write about my sons play and about a picture I took. The post that got the most attention was the one about what I made for dinner. Go figure.

I shared my posts on G+, Facebook and Twitter. I shared some on Pinterest even though I hate that site and never look at it. I read and commented on others posts. I did only do all of this for 30 minutes.

My findings however were that I earned a whopping 9 cents for my 30 minutes of work. That comes out to 18 cents per hour. Hmm I don't think I can feed my family on that. I might be able to buy a stick of gum in a day or two but we can't survive on gum.

I may go back and check things out again someday. I may not. I just don't find that Bubblews is worth my time right now.
