Do not write for this site!! It is a fraud!! I was happy and earning a great second income there for a while. In November I submitted a redemption for over $200 which took a long time to earn and they emailed me letting me know that due to policy changes they will not reimburse claims made before November 11, 2014. Basically I was robbed of over $200!! I should have listened to the numerous rumors about this horrible site. Do not be as naive as I was! Please! Stay away and don't waste your time! Best wishes!
This is good for me to know as I just added them to my making money Hub. The only way writers discover FRAUD sites, is by people like you speaking up!
Report them to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) of the FBI. Internet crimes tend to be cross-jurisdictional, and investigators from this agency and others have access to IC3 reports. Here's the online complaint form:

I am so glad the word will get out. I don't want anyone else crushed by them like me!
Awesome! Thank you so much for the advice. I will look into that. My husband also suggested BBB.
I have been looking for other outlets to make an income as a freelance writer and I too appreciate where not to submit. Is there a chance that you may know what companies are legitimate?
this site's reputation is in the toilet. I stopped writing for it three months ago, in part because the criticisms were hard to ignore. Luckily, I got out after getting my last payout.
Most of us figured this out about Bubblews at least a year ago.

Recently, Bubblews has revised its payment terms stating that users from US,Canad and UK would receive their payments in 45 days and all Asian users would receive their payments in 90 days. Do you feel the the days, to process the payments, are quite longer as per the new policy?

I recently found that someone had stolen one of my hubs and literally copy and pasted it into his own space on bubblews.com. He didn't even have enough sense or time to take my name and copyright symbols off of the article itself before posting it under his account!!!!! Here's his plagiarized...

I have been thinking of leaving HubPages for a while now because of several reasons. With their latest ebay/amazon update I now have to reformat over 90 hubs (Some had not been published yet and I was waiting for Halloween). Rather than doing this I will use my time looking for a site and...
