Scoopt the company that hoped to pay people for taking images and then licensing those images out to various different media outlets is closing.

I was just about ready to write the final obituary on my favorite video sharing service, Revver. They have been down for days, and even before they were down, I could no longer upload videos to them via TubeMogul, plus, many users have been complaining that they have not received a payment from Revver for the last 2...
If you transact with PayPal on a regular basis, you may feel that the account operates much the same as any other bank or credit card account. In many ways this is very true. However, it is still an online payment facility and in some ways their security is tighter than other systems.

That was the message I received yesterday in my inbox from Chitika. They previously offer website and bloggers the options of displaying ads that historically include products.

The firm that I paid received X Amount.

This was not a transaction where they initiate the charge just to confirm my balance. This...

I’ve actually been doing this for about the last three years, and I’ve...
This week I had an eye opening experience. I met a very successful website owner and internet personality that is not being compensated well for their work or content.

I can take a...
