Factoidz is a place for serious writers who want to produce quality articles and earn money at the same time.

Most Important Factor...

Quality of the Content

Contents that are written at Factoidz must be original and it must have the facts in it. Only content-rich articles will be approved by the moderator. A small slip and you will see the article being transferred back to your ‘draft’ or even being rejected.

When you write for them, you have to remember that you got to insert as many factual data into the article. If you have supporting such as research will even be a plus point for you.

Even though they have a strict guidelines, I love reading their to-do articles as they are loaded with facts and all the information are correct.

Earning at Factoidz is easy if you are a good writer.

Payment

For writers who want to earn extra money by writing, Factoidz could be the place for you if you are able to write quality contents. You are paid for every 1,000 views made from the range of USD 1.00 to USD 5.00 depending on how well your article is written and its popularity.

You will receive an automated payment monthly using PayPal only and there is no country-limitation. Currently, they have a new scheme where the more you post, the bonus you will earn. Basically what they trying to do is to promote and ensure a stable streamline of articles are created on a daily basis.

Articles moderation is very strict here. Articles which have the slightest mistakes are rejected and it will be move to pending for changes. If the moderator thinks that your article is not good enough, there will be a very high chance of getting rejected.

Promotions

As for promotion, Factoidz are mostly into own community viewers. I do not see much traffic outside of Factoidz but within the community, you will stand a fair chance. Most of the writers here are veteran and if you are a newbie writer, then you will be bombard with tons of negative comments. You got to keep up the motivation and ensure you are able to create a better article the next time.

Must Know Facts For Factoidz

Copyright Issues

Once your article is published, you are unable to edit (you could edit if you are promoted to a Staff Writer which I will explain more later on) or even delete your articles. I dislike the feeling as it means that we are giving them the copyright to it. However, you are free to publish the article after 3 days (72 hours) of publishing at Factoidz.

Writer’s Ranks

There are three ranks in general which consist of:

  1. Member - You first join as a member for reading only. No posting or publishing allowed.
  2. Factoidz Writer - Once a member, you can apply to be their writer. You get paid for your content per view.
  3. Staff Writer - Once you post at least 20 articles and you are actively giving opinion and helping out in forum, the moderators and admins will consider giving you a promotion. Staff Writers will have the ability to edit their articles.

The Downsides

The downside of Factoidz is obvious. You will be demoted from rank or even serve a permanent ban if you are not careful. A simple flag by others will land you into either a short or permanent ban.

Once you get a ban, all your earnings will be zero and you have to reapply to be a writer again. However, do bear in mind once you serve a ban, it will be very tough to get back into business!

There is also no support team for Factoidz. However, there is a forum where you can post your problem and hope for reply. Emailing to admin or site moderators will normally lead to either no reply or long awaited reply (most of the time after 1 week or so).

Another downside which I consider a major disadvantage is that Factoidz has no Google Adsense. Therefore, you have no choice but to stick to the pay per view option. It really depends on how you see it but I do prefer having the option to pay per view and Google Adsense at the same time. Greedy me!


Personally...

Am I attracted to Factoidz? Oh hell yes I am! But at the same time, I have seen many people and even close friends of mine who got tired of Factoidz for their strict guidelines. Factoidz is well-known for their strictness and it is very normal for articles to get rejected. I even have a friend who spend one whole day (the poor guys off day) writing 6 articles with all the facts and research made and got 5 of them rejected. He spend roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes on each article and yes it is really a bad incident and experience.

The next thing I knew was he quited Factoidz and went over to other sites. What a waste! Back to story. I would say writing for Factoidz is good but you must ensure that you can cope up with the pressure.

Regardless of the pros and cons I have stated above, I still feel Factoidz is worth joining as you can easily brush up your writing skills at there. You will get reply from moderators and even fellow members in order for you to improve. I guess this is something really special about Factoidz. If you are just starting to write, post one or two article per week at Factoidz to earn some constant income while you are slowly improving on the writing skills.

So what are you all waiting for? Join Factoidz now and start writing quality article while earning cold hard cash!
