[ # ] Is getting paid for postings in a social community something for you?
August 1st, 2007 under Useless opinions, Useless rants, Useless stuff

Two days ago I read in a blog about a different type of social community, and wanted to try it out before recommending this particular one on my own blog. This community is for the once among you who enjoy starting discussions, as much as replying to the once of your interests. And get paid for it too. And even though you will not get rich from it - it does make you feel better, in a way :)
There are some pro’s and some con’s however…

The pro’s:
1. Getting paid even if it is a cent or two per post and discussion, or an uploaded photo.
2. Making new friends online
3. Getting ideas as to what is popular at the moment.

The con’s:
1. Having to be “a friend” of someone before you are allowed to post comments on his/her thread. Why is this a con? Because until you get approved by the person this particular discussion might not be of interest to you…
2. The payout’s have been reduced by a lot lately, which doesn’t really make any sense. The site has more 102,000 users, and they are making much more now than they were making before, so it doesn’t add up.
3. The FAQ is not really helpful and it takes awhile to get used to how all works on the site.

It is a place worth joining however, and if you do so, make sure to let me know your nick there by placing it here in the comments. Have a great day ahead and talk to you soon :)
