Does Breed really matter?

luvnmykids @luvnmykids (40) • United States 15 Jun 11

Does the breed of a dog really matter when choosing a dog for a family? I am a huge pitbull lover and supporter. I have had 4 pitbulls in the course of my adult life. None have been agressive and all of them were very people...

Arkine A lot of people don't realize that Pitbulls are not nearlly as aggressive a breed as they are lead to believe. I think the problem arises because of what they are used for illegally, which is fighting ... and people use them as junkyard dogs too, which are...

Do you bother when your dog licks you in the face?

mabzki @mabzki (90) • Philippines 15 Jun 11

Me, I don't bother when my Dachshund licks me in the face. I'd be even happy my dog loves me. She always do that as soon as I enter the front door of our house after work. However my main concern is if it's safe to be licked by a...

vindiku @vindiku (255) • India 15 Jun 11

Hi friends, I am currently MyLot-ing and is also trying out my luck in some PTC sites. I have seen so many comments about people joining PTCs and not getting paid. I am trying PTCs for the first time. So, I thought of asking...

Arkine I've probably said this so many times at this point that I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I've discovered that trying to earn money on line is very difficult, and earning enough to make a "living" is nearly impossible ... at least with Paid To...

How to earn lots of money from your GPT sites ?

wildlittlefan @wildlittlefan (4680) • Hong Kong 14 Jun 11

I have never joined any GPT site before and recently I have fun with a unique site and made over $5 from it just by signing up to 24 sites. It wasn't hard but still it is a bit time consuming. Well, I guess it is another prove...

Arkine I don't want to sound like a pessimist here, but I've never made a lot of money from GPT sites. Mostly, just enjoy the content and the fact that they are paying you something. When you reach the payout (whatever that might be) take that money and stick it in...

KingLobster @KingLobster (219) • United States 14 Jun 11

Arkine Congratulations! It's quite a task to finish a book. I think someone already mentioned Lulu.com and Smashwords.com, the ebook publishing is free and I would definitely recommend starting out that way if you are having difficult with publishers. I am...

Arkine Hey Yugasini, I honestly think GPTPF has probably run it's course. If they bounce back I'll be very surprised, but then I didn't understand how they could be paying that much per post anyway. The forum was supposed to go public and basically get people to...

Arkine I'd say take the job, but keep looking for a position in a career field that you really want to do. Jobs are scarce where I'm at, so anything is better than nothing. Still, I can understand wanting to work at something you actually enjoy doing. ;)

Arkine Unfortunately, when you are talking about PTC sites there are a whole lot of scam sites out there, and the ones that are legitimate normally don't pay very well. That's why people can't earn a living on them. At least one of those pays you.

Arkine I honestly have no idea if the Like or Comment colunms have any bearing on the amount that you get paid. I can tell you that Triond allows you to view your own work once per day, which means you can click on your own articles and you get credit for that as a...
