That's so encouraging Jo. Thanks for sharing this, because it proves that things can work here, slowly but surely.

And a handful of orders came in on Zazzle this morning too. 

In fact, I've made about $50 so far this month all told through Wizzley.  And February is a slow month.  It's really starting to speed up now.

That's nice to hear. We need to hear it.

Just found out I am getting a small Amazon payout ... quite surprising to me, but welcome!   I only have 62 pages written here.  Last month I got an Adsense payment too.  All this is coming from Wizzley ads.

Patience everyone!

Awesome Pam, its so good to know. Getting an adsense payout just from wizzley is really remarkable. Its such a motivation

Thanks younghopes.    It was a nice surprise to meet my minimum payout at Adsense.  It was the first time!  So I am hopeful that it will continue and even increase as I write more here, but I am slow as far as that goes..! Yell

I have been on Wizzley for a year and I haven't made a dime, as far as I know. I had to stop writing due to illness (first my father, who passed away on November 29 after fighting cancer for six months, then myself) and two surgeries, but I will get back to it if I can actually get a bit of cash out of it. So far, nothing. That is very depressing. Is anyone else in the same boat? My stories had tons of links to products, books and so on related to each article.

Terry, I am very sorry to hear of your troubles and illness.  Please accept my sympathy on the passing of your father.  Sometimes life drags us off in unplanned direction.  I hope you are doing better now.

As far as earning money here, I don't make much, but the Adsense payout was encouraging and I went for months without making a single penny at Amazon, then finally got a payout.

Do you promote your pages and have a blog or something?  It's more than just writing and waiting for someone to read and click a link, but perhaps you know that.

Pinterest seems to be helping me with views here, so maybe try that if you don't already.  I honestly think it's more about promoting what you write and waiting for the right readers to find you.  It can take a while.

Yes, every email I send has a link to my Wizzley pages, and I have regularly posted links to individual articles on Twitter and Facebook. I haven't had a chance to figure out Pinterest yet, though.

Pinterest is quite easy.  You can't just pin your own things, but it's not difficult to find other things on the site to pin to your boards.  It's quite addicting.  I use it to promote my Zazzle stuff as well.

Wizzley is working as long as I promote my articles. That seems to be the key. I'm hoping that as this site continues to move in the right direction, and gains more authority, that we'll see more search engine traffic. Promotion is not as big of a factor at a larger site I write for. However, I don't want to put all of my eggs in one basket. So this site is one of the best alternatives right now.

I won't be on the forums much until next week, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter. As an update, since I've been spending more time promoting my articles, sales have really picked up.

That's perfect and really good to know, which social media has been the best for you apart from pinterest

Hi younghopes, Twitter would probably be second to Pinterest. Stumbleupon will bring visitors, but I suspect the bounce rate would be high.

I am also putting some of my articles from all sites, as well as my blogs, on Google+.
