Shvoong was founded in 2005 by Avi Shaked and Avner Avrahami
I initially stopped by Shvoong because I am looking for sites for linkbuilding (and preferably getting paid doing it)in french. Not an easy task, there are not that many resources when you want to do internet marketing in other languages than english.
But WOW : I counted 34 different languages in that little language drop down menu. Wow. I can’t even name 20 languages myself. You can register to the site and just change the language if you need to.
What can I write ?
Any summary or review of a previously published book, article or newspaper, an existing website, movie or an academic paper will be welcome. Write your abstracts in your own words. Content that violates copyrights will be deleted. Your abstract must not exceed 900 words.
The summaries are not reviewed, so there is a little of every thing in there. There is even recepies and travel reviews.
You also get money for your translations. You can take an existing Shvoong summary and just translate it ( if you can, of course) and get 5% revenue royalties.
Linkuilding with Shvoong ?
Since you are only summarizing, they actually encourage you to link to the original source. You can’t put links in the body of the text, but if you are summarizing a website, you need to put the link to the website, and if you are summarizing an article, you can add related links at the end of the summary.
How are you Paid with Shvoong ?
I was under the impression that Shvoong was an AdSense sharing site, but it isn’t ( or maybe it was before ?) Shvoong pays 10% of its advertising revenues to the writers. Usually this refers to when readers clic on ads, but it says that they consider the number of time an article is viewed. There is no way to know the exact revenue formula, but you get to see your earnings in your dashboard.
They pay though Paypal every 5th of the month. They can send you a check if you live in a country where Paypal is not available. (another point for Shvoong, in my book) The minimum payout is 10$.
I think Shvoong is being overlooked because of the very low payouts. 10 % of revenues is in fact really low, but I am still gonna stop by there when I am building link and promoting a site. Shvoong passess my crietrias for ” I am gonna do linknbuilding anyway, why not stop by places that will give royalties”
