I used to write for a site called Niume. The minimum to get paid there was only $10. Earnings there for me were slow. I managed to get to about $7. I was excited about finally reaching $10 and getting paid for the first time. Then the site decided to discontinue its earnings program so I never got to the minimum. On top of that the site chose to shut down and of course the earnings I did accumulate were never paid me. Maybe it was because I never reached the minimum but something tells me I wouldn't have gotten paid either way.
Bubblews was also another site I used to write for. I actually reached the minimum a number of times there and had gotten paid each time, except once. Then the site went downhill and closed its doors and whatever earnings I had - they were below the minimum - vanished with the site.
Now there is Virily - a site that seems to be going down the same path. Minimum there to get paid is $10. I am about three bucks away from reaching it. However, virils (the points earned there) and the $ equivalent earnings are not updating. And the site is not responding to my inquiry about it. Others are facing the same issues with no response either. Looks like the site will be no more as well as the earnings I worked hard to get.
