How to Make Money Publishing Web Content as an International Resident

The easiest way for international residents to make an income online is by writing for a web content publisher. A web content publisher relies on article submissions to bring visitors to their website. In return, the article’s author receives compensation for his submission. The most common income model is through commissions paid based on page views. The major web content publishers who accept submissions from writers outside the United States are Triond, Bukisa, Info Barrel, and Associated Content.

Triond works with writers to place content within their network of websites. This helps give writers more exposure, leading to higher page views and larger commissions. Triond pays 50% of the ad revenue generated from each article into the writer’s PayPal account on a monthly basis. With Triond’s new referral program, writers can also earn a 10% bonus based on revenue from article submissions made by their friends.

Bukisa will accept web content that has been previously published, as long as the writer has retained rights to the material. Bukisa pays writers an amount per 1,000 page views that is usually between $3 and $4, amd also has a referral program. However, Bukisa will only publish content onto their own website.

Info Barrel works through Google Adsense to send revenue back to the contractor. With Adsense, you must wait to have your first article approved, or have your own website before you will be approved for an account, and your payment would be by check, instead of via PayPal. However, Info Barrel has a large number of visitors due to their high level of quality control, leading to a high potential for commissions. The Info Barrel referral program offers 2% of the revenue back for a referred friend.

Associated Content is a major web content publisher that works with writers throughout the world. Due to the extremely large amount of content that they provide to websites, popular articles can earn a lot of money. The major disadvantage is that international writers are unable to take part in the upfront payments which some writers in the United States are eligible for.

While it is unlikely that international writers will get rich through publishing content online, web content publishers with interesting and informative articles will be able to practice their writing and earn a modest amount.
