Bukisa is an on line writing site where freelance writers can make money by submitting articles of 250 words or more. The really interesting thing about this site is that it is possible to make money on it even if you are not a writer and never attempt to write an article.

The trick to making money on Bukisa without actually writing any articles of your own lies in your friends base and your ability to get others to write for this site.

Bukisa has what is called a referral site. The purpose of this site from the companies point of view is too get more people writing on the site. The logic being the more articles the site has the more readers it will attract and the move advertisers will see Bukisa as a great place to advertise thus making the site more money.

In order to encourage writers to get their friends to sign on to the site and start writing Bukisa, offers a reward in terms of a small percentage of money each of your friends earn on their articles. The more friends you refer the more money you make.

While this is offered to writers, you don't actually have to write any articles to join Bukisa and be part of the referral program. If you know a lot of people looking to make an income by writing on line you can simply join Bukisa and then send these people your referral link.

You will then get paid for every article they write.

Once you get a referral or two you can spend your time increasing the worth of their articles. You can do this in a variety of ways.

First, you can post links to their articles in emails and get all your email friends to read their articles.

You can also read each and every article they write yourself and comment on them.

You can post their work to all the social websites you have joined as well as to sites like Redgage and shetoldme.

You can also encourage each of your referrals to read each others works and comment on it and sent the links of these people to people on their email list.

While none of this will make you millions of dollars you can earn a little extra money each money using the referrals.

However, keep in mind that most people will not accept a referral if they don't feel they will be getting anything back so you must be clear when offering the referral what you can and are willing to do to help increase each writers views and income. Making the use of a referral beneficial to the writer is the only way your are going to get other people to earn this money for you.

It will take a lot of time and effort on your part to make money without actually writing an article. Honestly while it can be done, it hardly seems worth the effort for the small amount of income you will receive.
