From the lens Guide to making money with Newsvine.

    I am a heavy user of Newsvine (part of the "several hundred dollars" category) and I must say that Newsvine is awesome. I began in 2009, not that long ago, but the articles that I post get heavy attention that I do not get elsewhere. People are more informed and generally nicer than in other places.

    Your article was pretty spot on in terms of the earnings but I did notice a few errors, probably changes from when you wrote this. Firstly, there's a new option to donate your earnings to one of ~10 charities periodically, which does not require a minimum amount. I do this, I have never made a penny off my writing. Secondly, they do have a referral program: 90% earnings go to you, 10% earnings to the person who referred you, if you have one. If you don't, it goes to Newsvine. Lastly, your numbers are a bit off: I earn roughly between $95 on a low and $300 on a high per month, however according to Google Analytics I receive between 2000-15,000 pageviews monthly. I have never received 20,000 pageviews. Hope this helps, ~LeafyDebater

    Any feedback on how or which tracking code I apply from my google analytics account into newsvine would be great. When I log into google, I only have a tracking code for my personal website. So what code do I use on Newsvine to track my articles? Thanks for sharing.

    When you go to Google analytics, you need to click "add a new website", which generates a new code for you, and this is the code that you paste into your Newsvine account

    This sounds interesting, I might give this a try. I already write for Associated Content and am doing quite well there. Another place to advertise my articles can't be bad. I rarely get any traffic from Digg.

    OK, it's been a year or so. How much money have each of you made off Newsvine??

    And how many of you are still there? How many have been booted off?

    Newsvine is becoming more and more lame. A collossal waste of time. Cheap bastards.

    be prepared for the right wing being hugely favored by the moderator tyler...surprisingly enough, as it is independant from msnbc in spite of its direct link and promotion deal, msnbc's 'site' newsvine is promoting very wingnut very neocon articles and writing with a decided anti-liberal bend in all its decisions.
    Sadly, the immature, kinda stupid, poltically foolish moderator prefers his 'friends' and regulars from the so called 'conservative' and don't even think of saying anything unkind about his brand of christianity or evengelicals period on the vine. he will ban you qucik as a wink for that.
