It's not all good, but that is mainly because the two sites are new. The downsides are to be expected right now.
You’re not going to make a fortune overnight. These sites to make money writing online are for those who are in it for the long term, and are willing to build your portfolio over time. If you write for sites like Wizzley or HubPages, you will have experience with the marathon that is online writing.
One of the biggest downsides at the moment is how young the two sites are. While the posts are getting ranked, it takes time for them to really get noticed by Google. This is something that Wizzley noticed at first, but has quickly gained momentum. The sites will advance, but need more writers and writers who are willing to put the time and effort into them.
Like Wizzley, the two sites have a focus on high quality content. There is a three-article review process, so you’re not given self-publishing rights until you pass the quality standards with three articles. If you fail to meet standards afterwards, your self-publishing rights will be revoked.
There’s really not much else to be said about downsides. Bear in mind that these two sites are still relatively new, so it is hard to share downsides right now until I’ve tried out more posts and been there for the first potential payout (if I reach the minimum).

NateB11, I felt the same way about adding more sites to the list. I'd just happened to drop InfoBarrel from my list of places to write a few days beforehand. I'm a big believer in things happen for a reason, and it seemed like I was being pointed in the direction of WE and DTC for a reason after just deciding to drop a different site. Hopefully it's a good reason and I'll see some results this month. You're right about more people focusing on the pay per view model. I don't necessarily think it's the best; it just depends on all sorts of factors. I think writers love it because there's the chance of making more money.

CSMcClellan, I understand that definitely. When I started writing three years ago I could only focus on upfront earnings because I needed the money. Now I have a little more time to spend on residual earnings and can take a few more than two on. It's all about finding a balance. I hope Bubblews continues to work out for you.
It's a shame your account kept getting deleted cmoneyspinner. It would be so much better if they communicated better! The only comparison is the small word count needed. Bubblews' 400 characters is around 100 words. The site owners mentioned something about being a Bubblews competitor, and I guess that just stuck for some people. When I first signed up, I remember thinking "oh, the word count is just like Bubblews but the rest is so different and refreshing."

When I say I'm not bitter – FYI. I signed up for Bubblews twice, and my account was deleted twice without warning. No big deal. The site owner and I parted on speaking terms. Well I was still speaking to them. Sent them a message which was not responded to. Although I did not expect a response. Basically I just said “Bye Bye” and moved on. When a a person owns a site they do what they want with their site. Users of the site can't tell them what to do! They were the owners. I was a user.
But when I say I don't see the resemblance, I honestly don't. When I first looked at the Daily Two Cents and Writedge websites, a comparison to Bubblews did not come to my mind at all.
Good Wizzle!

I'm not sure how long Bubblews will stick around for. I never expected it to manage this Kong especially with so many not being paid redemptions. But yes, Paula, at least they will be there if something does go wrong. I know what you mean about being stretched. I recently dropped infobarrel so have space for a new site.
