Article Marketing + Bukisa = ?

[Intelligence]

Yo...

I'm able to write high-quality articles in a fairly short period of time, including doing more extensive research than is actually needed (perfectionist). This one trait makes the articles suited for Bukisa - a performance-only based paid writing site.

The thing is, they only pay about $3.42 CPM, so to generate a $1000/month income, I'd need to generate 10,000 page views per day.

How probable is it to write ten articles a day and, within one month, be making that level of passive income? Anyone have any relatively specific instructions?

I guess the basic idea is driving traffic to to the articles themselves. Anyone want to reveal any secret Bukisa tweaks or what categories of topics work best...anything?

Let's say you could sell your articles on here for $5.

Each Bukisa page view is currently worth $0.00342 That means you would need each of your Bukisa articles to reach 1462 pageviews in order to make $5.

Looking briefly through the site it doesn't look like they're doing much promotion because many of the articles only have 1 page view. I don't think they're getting much Google love (like Squidoo did back in the day) because I can't ever recall seeing a Bukisa listing in the SERP. So that means you would probably have to do promotional work yourself to get page views on your articles. So that's more time invested that could have been spent writing articles.

If you can write 10 articles a day and need $1000/month then after 20 days of selling articles on here you'll meet your goal. You could then use the other 10 days to build up a network of sites for yourself. Once those start making some cash you can shift the ratio downward until you're making $1000/month from your network of sites and then you're just writing articles for yourself.

So what I'm gathering is this:

-Bukisa is not a great platform to get paid well for quality work
-Writing one-time payment articles makes more sense in this case because I can use the money I make to create my own sites later

Way to put the numbers in perspective, too.

Anyone else have anything?
