Bukisa

Bukisa is an online knowledge resource for finding informational and education content. Bukisa is both an aggregator and a UGC website that provides content in the form of articles, videos, podcasts, audio recordings and slideshow presentations. The article database is organized into an article directory, covering a wide variety of subjects, allowing the site to provide readers with content, and providing publishers with free content for their websites, newsletters, or ezines. Bukisa rewards its users who contribute their knowledge with monetary value. The Bukisa Index, the amount of payment submitters can receive per 1,000 views of their content, stands at $3.42 per 1,000 views.
History
Developed by Webika, which includes the founders of the online articles directory ArticlesBase, Bukisa was founded in 2008 as a website to provide a free platform for writers to publish their work online. At the same time, Bukisa allows its publishers to gain income, based on a share of the amount of views the article received. Bukisa is unique in that it offers more media services than most of the dozens of other “how-to” websites on the internet. Bukisa’s vision is to maximize knowledge sharing experiences and to introduce contributors to a better and more fun-filled way to share their knowledge online.
Purpose
Bukisa wants its users to enjoy contributing their knowledge to the online Bukisa community. Publishers who submit content to Bukisa can only submit family safe content which teaches their readers something. Bukisa also helps publishers strengthen their online presence and credibility and also helps build an online readership.
Bukisa includes a friendly dimension in its payment system. When inviting friends to join your network, and they themselves begin to produce content that generates traffic which results in revenue, you will see income to the tune of an additional 25% bonus. If those friends should then invite other contacts, who in turn create popular content, then you’ll see one-sixteenth of this total revenue. In the end you could do very well and see steady cash sent your way.”
Content
All content published on Bukisa is arranged into 21 categories, which the user and reader will be able to choose from when submitting and viewing content. Some of these categories include Internet, Technology, Culture, Education, Reviews and more. Bukisa also makes it easy for friends and family to share published content amongst them.
According to Mashable, “Bukisa is designed to be as easy for content creators to use as it is for consumers.” Bukisa’s features are easy to use and “Categories are in clear view and are fairly extensive, and things like the popular topics window, columns for popular posts, and things recently added seem to be well placed.”
