... Peter, if you had just published this stuff on Wikipedia Review and slapped a Google AdSense ad in the middle of it, you may have already earned enough to purchase a foot-long sandwich ...
this sounds like a pretty good deal.
Mmmm, I could go for an oyster po' boy -- what's the deal?
Due to the multiple requests for information on how to make money with Wikipedia Review, let me offer this quick tutorial that goes beyond what might be available on the Wikipedia Review Monetizing Wikipedia Review page.
First, you should obtain a free Google AdSense account, and (for additional money-making) obtain an Amazon Associates account. Once you have those, you may use Wikipedia Review as a platform for drawing in traffic to your content.
Write good, unique content about a subject, pimp it out with semantic tags, including keywords that you think people on the Internet will be searching for when they're looking for your kind of content. Then, plunk in your Google AdSense banner code and/or your Amazon Associates links (e.g., why just "cite" a book reference, when you can cite it and include a link to Amazon to purchase the book?) within the body of the article.
With Google AdSense ads, I've found that at least 0.75% of the visitors to the page will click on an ad, in which case, you'll get anywhere from 1 cent to $1.65 from Google, depending on the value of the link context. Or they may click on an Amazon link to the book/movie you're talking about, and if they buy it, you get from 4% to 10% of the retail sale price as commission from Amazon.
Currently, I'm a bit miffed by Google AdSense, though -- they've suspended my account, and it had been making about $35 a month. It's on appeal, so we'll see what happens.
One Wikipedia Review editor is making about $100 a month from the site, though their "content" is nothing more than an RSS news feed generator embedded on a page about any "hot topic" in the news. Frankly, I think that's more work than it's worth, but I like writing, and that editor loathes it. It kind of junks up Wikipedia Review, but it's my site... if someone's making decent sandwich money off it, so be it.
There is also a very quick way that you can earn $15 on Wikipedia Review, right now. All you need to do is write five sentences, cited to two sources. The payment is made either via mailed check or via PayPal.
