Factoidz Review / Reviews

Earning money through Writing has now-a-days become trend. The number of Freelance writers has increased tremendously in the past decade. Many people look forward to Freelance writing as a source of "Residual Income". Others try their hand at writing to earn "Extra Money". Internet has provided people with great writing platforms where they can show their skill to the world free of cost and at the same time earn money from it. The income is residual, recurring like your salary. Articles keep generating money as they get more traffic and exposure. You are paid for that traffic and exposure your article generates. There are many sites like Triond, Bukisa, Helium, Associated content, Demand studios etc. But FACTOIDZ stands out from all of them due to the high pay rate they offer to their writers. They also pay upfront bonus to you for just submitting an article. Not only do they pay you handsomely but they even promote you to the "Staff writer" and "Featured Writer" levels once you submit certain number of Quality articles.

This article is all about Factoidz review and I have tried to present all the facts and figures in an unbiased manner after having done enough research over this topic. Here is a list of some pros and cons for Factoidz :-

Pros :-

1> Factoidz has a large amount of traffic from search engines as well as their own community which ensures that your articles get proper exposure over the web.

2> Their Alexa rankings for Fatoidz is 9726 with more than 23000 indexed pages on Google and more than 1 lakh indexed pages on yahoo which means you articles stand to get a lot of exposure on the web.

3> You get activity bonus for each additional article you publish in a month and the size of each bonus depends on the average performance in traffic and SEO rankings

4> Factoidz offers product review assignments and article assignments to its users which are completely optional. These assignments and product reviews earn very high rates on traffic and they also enable you to earn cash bonus from 8-20$ per article. Once your articles and reviews are accepted you are offered a cash bonus fron 8-20$ as decided.

5> The editors there are a a real friendly people, if your article does not meet their standards they return it back with suggestions for making improvements, which means you get a chance to edit the article and submit it again. Other sites reject articles directly if they don't meet their standards.

6> They also have a forum where experts try to solve your queries from time to time and the best part is factoidz gives you a chance to write articles on topics that are raised in the forums in form of questions. E.g. If somebody asks, "Is Speak Asia a scam" ? You can write an article on that post in the form of answer and submit to factoidz.

7> You get upgraded to staff writer levels after you have 20 articles on factoidz and Staff writers earn more money and commissions than normal writers which is a great feature. You are also eligible to get a Featured Writer promotion if your articles turn out to b exceptional and high ranking in search engines.

Cons :

1> They only pay through Paypal which is bad for users whose countries don't accept paypal.

2> They are very strict about product reviews assignments and article assignments. You may loose the rights to take up those assignments if you do not complete them properly with grammatical accuracy or present the facts according to their standards.

3> Recently there have been a lot of complains of staff and featured writers that their articles are being deleted and some are demoted to basic level.

4> Upfront bonuses have been decreasing as per factoidz writers.


Overall Factoidz is a wonderful website for everyone including new writers who are good at writing and want to earn money through it. Your articles will generate more money than it does on any other sites like Triond, Bukisa, Wikinut etc. I earned around 5 dollars for only 2 articles I had in the first month, while it took me more than 2-3 months on triond to earn a mere 50 cents inspite of having more than 10 articles there. Today my total income from Factoidz counts to 40$ for just 5 articles. My Friend earns around 100$ from Factoidz alone as she has around 100 articles submitted. Even if you earn around a dollar for a single article you get 100$ every month. Hence Factoidz definitely has more earning potential than any other freelance writing site.

I hope that you find this Review as very helpful and beneficial. If you are looking forward to earn money through writing articles You Can check out Factoidz Here

  1. Great review. After 3 years with the site, I can agree that the site admins and community are very friendly - but they are a little bit uptight when it comes to article quality (but I see this is a good thing). The product reviews are great for months when you need to guarantee a certain amount of earnings, since you earn upfront.

    As for the negative reviews, I've been chatting with some fellow writers who have found out that the negative feedback is the handiwork of a single writer who was kicked out of Factoidz for gaming their traffic and earnings system. She's been copying and pasting a long rant verbatim on dozens of sites - you can see what she's doing by searching for her (quite paranoid-sounding) post text, here's an example: http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1_____enUS370US371&aq=f&ie=UTF-8&q=%22I+am+a+Factoidz+victim.+There+are+hundreds+like+me.%22.
