Brijit - “Smart, Sexy, Fun, Helpful, and Well-Read”
Are you finding it hard to keep up with your magazine subscriptions? It can be a little hard sometimes, so Brijit just might help you out a bit. I mentioned Brijit on Five Cool Ways To Make Money Online, Part 2, so there is a possiblitly to get paid also.
Brijit.com can help you prioritize the articles you do read by allowing you to browse through article abstracts. Brijit gives 100 word abstracts on articles from all sorts of accredited magazines. Users can even become writers and submit abstracts to Brijit and the best ones are posted. You can also search for articles by topic or by source. Alternatively, you can check out articles that Brijit recommends or the most popular articles.
Brijit rates magazine stories with a series of three red circles - three empty circles means the article is worth passing up, three full circles means it is a must-read. On the site, Brijit is described as “smart, sexy, fun, helpful, and well-read.” So it is my assumption that the founder for this company had a female in mind when creating.
Brijit depends mostly on freelancers for reviews of most articles. The editors assign magazine articles that they want reviewed by posting them on the site, and seek three reviews for each article. Users can claim an assignment and write the summary. If Brijit accepts a freelance review, the writer is paid $5. If the editors do not like any of the three reviews, the article will be reassigned, so there is potential to get yourself a little money.
You can learn a lot from a website like this. It was a smart idea. I am only subscribed to one magazine, which is Popular Science, but with Brijit, I am able to read all sorts of magazines I am interested in without subscribing, and free! Check it out.
