What Is BKA Content? – Scam or Good Way to Make Money Online?

BKA ContentIf you have a knack for writing and want to try your luck writing articles for website owners online then BKA Content is one of the options out there that you have. And I’d say its one of the better options. They are a trusted company that has been around for a while and has a pretty good reputation.

In this review I’ll be going over some important things to know beforehand, such as what is BKA Content, the positions they offer, requirements, how much you will get paid, complaints and more.

What Is BKA Content?

BKA Content is a content provider. Basically what they do is connect clients that are looking for articles, blog posts, etc to freelance writers that are willing to write these things. Other similar sites include Contena and Textbroker.

Clients that need content for their website, their social media page, or where ever, can go onto the BKA Content site and select what content product they want. These include things like you see below…

Then the client gives more detailed information on what they are looking for and the project is picked up by a freelance writer, potentially yourself.

The overall view of this place is pretty good. They have good ratings and can pay pretty good (more on this).

Writing Positions Offered

They offer several different writing positions which include…

  • SEO Content Writer – For this position you will be writing SEO articles, blogs, etc. You will be targeting specific keywords in order to get your article/blog ranked in the search engine for your client. Keywords will be provided.
  • Premium Content Writer – Here you will be writing more informative blogs, social media posts, and meta descriptions.
  • Web Content Writer – There is a lot that fit into this category… job descriptions, web pages, CV’s are all on the table.
  • Product Description Writer – Pretty simple here. You will be writing descriptions for products being sold.

Requirements

In order to be eligible you must…

  • Be a US citizen
  • Have Microsoft Word
  • Have internet
  • Have a Gmail account
  • Be able to write a minimum of 2,000 words a week
  • Have a PayPal account (to get paid)
  • Have decent English grammar
  • Be at a college writing level or higher

*You are also eligible if you have a green card.

And then of course on top of this they are also looking for people who they can depend on and who are self-motivated. There isn’t going to be a boss breathing down your neck here so you will have to push yourself to get things done.

How The Job Works

As a freelancer you have a lot of freedom when it comes to this job. You will be able to pick and choose what projects you want to work on. You can skim through the various offers and pick ones that look good, and of which you are qualified for.

You will then be able to see the requirements and what the client is looking for. Simply write up the article, submit it before the deadline, wait for it to get checked and get paid.

How Much Will You Make?

The pay can vary a lot based on how fast you are able to type and how good of a writer you actually are.

According to BKA Content, most writers make between $8-$14 starting out and then up to $12-$18 or more after they have completed the training. I have even read reviews from users that are making over $20 per hour, although this is rare.

You will be able to make between 1.3 – 5 cents per word,  which depends on your writing level. So two things that need factored in when you are determining how much you might possibly make are your writing level and how fast you can type.

When it comes to a work schedule there really isn’t one. You must be able to write at least 2,000 words per week but you can go way above this if you choose to. You will be able to pick the work you want to complete as long as you are qualified to do so. From what I’ve read there is a fairly high number of projects that clients need writers for on this platform so with a high demand the opportunity is good.

Payments are made through Paypal every 2 weeks.

Complaints

Low Pay

Some writing projects pay extremely little. Down to 1 cent per word according to some reviews I’ve read. However I’ve read others that say the minimum is 1.3 cents per word. But anyways… either way it can be very low.

While some projects are very easy to complete others are more difficult and users complain they should be worth more.

Training 

As one review put it that I read: there is a lot of “red tape” when it comes to training. You will have to jump through hoops, many of which are seen as unnecessary to the writers. It can be a pain for sure but this is nothing to avoid this place over the way I see it.

“Fake Reviews”

It can be difficult to determine what reviews are real and what are fake. I always read through reviews on anonymous job review sites like Glassdoor and Indeed. Its a good way to get a feel for what others think of everything but inevitably there are always some fake reviews trying to make a company look better or worse than it actually is.

According to at least one review from a writer, many of the “good” reviews that you see are fake. I’m sure there are some fakes but I don’t know how this person could possibly know this. I think this individual happened to have a really bad experience and let their anger get the best of them.

Conclusion on BKA Content – Good Opportunity?

Of course you are going to have complaints with any opportunity out there.. no matter how good it is. From what I see here BKA Content is a decent opportunity that you might want to look into further if interested. The company is legit and there are a good amount of writers that have had pleasant experiences.

Something else you might be interested in that I think you should take a look at is how I make a living online. Basically what I do is write blog posts for my own websites (like this one) and get paid for it. Of course there is more to it than just this but you can learn all about it in my guide I wrote Here. In the guide I go over how it all works and how others can get started doing the same.

Whats nice about what I do is I work for myself, which gives even more freedom. But anyways… you can check out my make money online guide here.
