Wow! Like are you for real? Earning upto $700 isn't a joke at all. That means a lot of energies and time must have been invested in the content creation and the site paid well form what you said. KudosI miss a paid to write site called Bubblews. I earned really well on Bubblews, However, later the site collapsed because it could no longer pay the writers. When it shut down I had $1300 with them. When they were paying, I was earning $400-$700 per month.
The site was so popular back then that the owner, an American of Indian origin, was interviewed on Bloomberg. The site was touted as a competitor to facebook. You were required to post 400 characters and could earn one cent each from likes, views, and comments.
