Shvoong: Write, Promote, Translate

I was going around trying to find more ways to earn money and guess what?
There's a site that'll pay you to write abstracts or to translate other people's abstracts.

What are abstracts?
Short articles!
  1. summary of a book
  2. summary of a newspaper article
  3. your own rant
  4. review of a website
  5. review of an online article (your own maybe? )
  6. review/summary/opinion about anything
BTW, YOU GET TO LINK! SO IF YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT YOUR OWN WORK, YOU CAN LINK TO IT TO GET MORE VIEWERS!

Translate!
You actually earn less from royalties if you translate another person's article than if you write your own.
However, if you don't know what to write about, it's great because you don't have to stare idly at your computer.
You can see the popularity of the articles so if you take one that had a lot of readers in another country, it might be popular in your country as well.
It's also great practice for new translators.

Acceptance rate:
They don't check grammar or punctuation. They figure they don't have to because the rating system will not let bad articles earn top spots.

Earning money:
The site pays you a % of what they earn from royalties. The more page views you get, the more money you earn. Every month they update your earnings and once you reach 10$, you can be paid out via paypal and they accept worldwide users. Users from countries without paypal are paid via check.
