Bubblews: Success or Sucks?

The site

The basics of Bubblews is similar to other paid to write websites, but their rates are the best on the web as of now. Sadly, this is the main reason why all the cheaters have found the website and tried to "rape it" to call for the sudden expression.

People started to earn and join at an exponential rate and the site seems to collapse under it. Recently they announced that they'll buy and install some new hardware units to relieve the current server but so far things just got worse.

Uptime

As I was saying Bubblews suffers from constant downtimes and server errors recently and the all the members got so far are nothing more than promises. I never had such a huge memberbase on any of my sites but it seems that the best thing these guys can do is promising yet another deadline to get things in order.

The patience of their memberbase is being put to the test in a way I've never seen before and missing payments are just one of them. They need some serious improvement on support as well because it's merely impossible to get through to them with any kind of issue.

Payments

Reaching the limit to ask for a payment is easy but therein lies the problem. Unlike the sane fraction of webmasters, these guys are paying users with eChecks what takes up to five days to clear. If it clears.

I had to see two payments bouncing back on my PayPal account for some reason and despite all the efforts to get an answer from PayPal, I still have no clue why. There are also a flood of complaints about missing payments on Bubblews, and apart from those who clearly violated the rules, the users rarely get a clear explanation from the staff of Bubblews.

The future

According to management, a new version is coming up sometime in Summer but somehow I start to get into a state of mind when I actually believe only those things what already passed a week ago.

One thing is for sure, right now the site has serious problems and definately has to get rid of the eCheck as payment method and absolutely needs to catch up on support. Leaving people without answer when they have payments missing for months is something that simply won't do.

Some pros at the end

It's not all about negative feedback. They have a pretty good payrate, people can write literally about anything until they keep themselves to the rules and the minimum character count a user has to accomplish is just 400 characters per post. I think this is the reason why the site started to grow in a pace the owners didn't expect, because not one other site in this niche works with such low requirements.Tempting in every fiber if they're able to get over themselves a little bit and reconsider a few things, especially the payment system.

Let's see if they can work things out and create a place where people can make a decent income from sharing their thoughts.
