Email from Life123 Writers Community

[mtgywriter]

Did anyone else get an email from Life 123 last night? Actually, it was two emails in one:

---------------------------

Subject: Your article has received another 500 unique visitors
Message:


Congratulations!

Your article Symptoms Of Calcium Deficiency has received an additional 500 unique visitors - the second earnings milestone for Life123 articles. Accordingly, Life123has credited another $5 to your Writers account

------------------------------------

The second message starts off this way:

Subject: Your article is a success!
Message:


Congratulations!

Your article Symptoms Of Calcium Deficiency has received another 500 unique visitors - the top earnings milestone for Life123 articles. Accordingly, Life123 has credited $10 to your Writers account



What You Should Know:

This article has now satisfied the top plateau of traffic and you have maximized your earn out potential for this submission..

------------------------------------------

Based on this, it looks like the article has garnered the entire 1050 unique viewes needed to earn the entire $20.00. Not sure about the accuracy of that, though. When they shut the account access down last month, the article had collected eighty-something views. While I can see it reaching the first 500 since then, I find it hard to believe that it managed close to a thousand views in so little a time.

Maybe they were using a boilerplate message to notify everyone who will receive some type of payment later this month?

I got the exact same email for the one article I wrote for them. I'd heard they'd be paying off all articles towards the end of the month, but I find it hard to believe my article got all those unique visitors when it was only a month or so old. Maybe they are just being nice and paying everyone off? If it actually was doing that well, I'm really bummed they ended the writer's program!

[DiaperMommy]

I agree. I also got the same email.

Sounds like they are paying all of the articles off now that they are no longer in business. Nice of them .

The website notice that they put up when they shut down said they'd be paying everyone off at $20 per article.

[mtgywriter]

Yep, I remember the notice. I interpreted it to mean they would pay a maximum of $20.00 on each eligible article, meaning that every article that had reached some benchmark up to 1050 page views would be compensated for however many views it had generated. Since I had garnered enough page views to earn $5.00 when they shut down the program, that was all I was expecting.

Of course, if I misinterpreted the notice and they do want to pay me $20.00, that's all the better. Guess we'll see when the payments come through.
