First, let me say, I never write posts like this, it’s just not my thing. But, I have been reading many posts about people being frustrated with the site and how things are going. I fully understand where people’s problems are and they want something to be done.
I want to remind everyone that Virily is a shared revenue site and that means that yes sometime the value will go down. But, not that it will not go back up again.
I have been writing for sites like Virily for almost 20 years. I have seen many of them come and go. Few have lasted for four years or more. Virily has a high ranking on search engines. That is a good sign, and it is still moving upwards.
I believe Virily will survive because of this and the many writers who are still here. It is truly the writers of the site and the way money is shared that makes a website die or survive! I believe Virily is doing it right. I wish there was more interaction with the people who actually run the site. But, I also know, it takes a lot to run a website. I think they should enroll a few of the writers here to help them with their big job.
So keep writing and keep interacting. Remember to share the article and lovely photos here on the site.

That is looking at things from the bright side of life. Goodluck, sister ??
From what I saw with the last site I wrote for and how long Virily outlasted it, I applaud them. I’ll never know what it takes to keep the site running, but I hope I am doing my part because I love getting that little $10 deposited into my account every now and then.
I am sure you are doing your part. I am also sure it’s not easy to keep a site up and running, especially one that pays its writers. I am also grateful that it is still after all this time. I have seem so many over the years go under.
I wonder if the one who put this site together experienced that from a writers standpoint and is currently using the failed experience to keep it running.
Very sweet that we have so many topics on here too. Every writing I share my goal is to create awareness of Virily outside of Virily.
That is great Thomas. I have just discovered they were not taking any new writers here. But, sharing the articles brings in readers.
In a way that feels good because it keeps my payouts coming at the same time, but on the other hand it will be nice to have different energy. A good way to open the flood gates would be to eliminate the pages that aren’t active and bring in some new writers.
you raise some excellent points
Thank-you. But, I have learned from writing this post that there is no use in trying to contact them on these points. SO, I will put my energy into other things.
yeah, they got that whole wizard of oz thing going on
When there are those who write for sites who have stopped paying it is beyond me to think why would anyone want to leave a site that pays. Payment no doubt fluctuates
Hope they Employed me as a admin or moderator
I’m. Jobless
So I will accept that work full time.
I am jobless as well. But, after reading Doc’s comment, I know, that is not going to happen.
That’s alright by me.
I can fully understand your feelings. Why do you stay? If you do not mind me asking. Because after talking to some other writers. I have thought about removing my stuff and leaving the site as well. I stay only because of the other writers here.
If you move to vocal I wish you lots of luck. If I do leave, I would just but my stuff on my blogs. But, for now. I will stay and see what happens. I do enjoy the other writers. My own blogs will become my priority though, and I will come here when I can.
I neither believe or not in Virily. Till it is – I write. Or I write till I want. Communication would be good of course, but if it’s admins’ decision – I accept it. I am just a writer and I will not start pointing out how the site should run.
You bring up a good point. Doc, already tried the writers involvement thing anyway. I did not know, that when I wrote this post.
Well said. I am now writing more since I have new inspiration, and i want to love life again.
I have seen a lot of people writing more. Maybe thing will start to get better.
i actually proposed an author council for Virily to the admin team. It was met by crickets.
I don’t think the admins are going to change their communication.
That said, as you point out, Virily pays. It has paid for 3 years. That is longer than many writing sites last!
I guess there really is not much we can do about it then.
we have to figure out how to drive more views!
I would not even know how to do that. Most people are doing the best they can sharing.
well that we agree on.
most are doing everything they can.
somehow we have to find a new solution!
That is a good idea that those who run the site should enroll some writers to help in bridging the communication between the users and the owners of the site. It is the most drawback of the site.
I believe Virily will survive. There are very few sites that have survived Google’s updates. Virily will make it.
So do it. That is true. I believe there is a little more the owners of virily could do to help the writers out. Doc, knows a lot and I think he would be a great person for them to use as a go be between.
