Is There Still Money in Revenue Share?

There are many people who will tell you that there’s no money in revenue share. They want you to create your own blog, because apparently that brings in more money.

Well, I’m about to tell you something completely different.

There is definitely still money in revenue share. You just need to choose the right places for your revenue share. Don’t give up a percentage of your earnings for everyone. Be strategic and use your time wisely.

Last summer I signed onto another revenue share news site. It’s one that I had sort of heard about before but not in detail. They pay $1 per 1000 views, which is low, but I decided to give it a chance.

You know what? I’m glad I did. They’re excellent for my U.S. savings account. All the checks go into there and I have a few hundred dollars waiting to spend the next time I visit the States (we’re on the border, so very likely soon). Each month is a good pay month, especially now that my articles have built up.

And I got into a news writing site that pays per piece—a site I’ve wanted to get into for a very long time. Just that has been worth it!

And it’s not just that news site. I’ve joined others in the past and still make money through them. I don’t even write content on the sites anymore. All the money is residual.

One of the best things is that I don’t pay out any money for these sites. The articles and blog posts site there and make me money. Sure, they make the sites money too, but I don’t have to worry about the finances of running those sites. I sit back and let someone else do it all for me.

If I ran my own site—well, I do run multiple sites of my own, so I know—I’d spend time on the back-end tasks. I’d need to work on promoting everything, deciding how to make money through it, and then work on building an audience for it. All this takes time and some money. I’m making a negative before I get a financial result.

I’m not saying don’t own your own sites. I love having my own, but that doesn’t negate the benefits of revenue share. There is still money in revenue share. You just have to be smart about it and I’ll share more about that next time.
