I was earning about $0.40 give or take each month from page views the first few months I started. Then it went up to $2 and some change for a couple months, now it's over $3 each month and still increasing. It's not much now, but...

estaban2501 Well I usually earn roughly $0.75 a month these days :(. Granted I haven't had any blockbuster articles yet either. Fortunately if you write articles that are evergreen (not time specific) then they will actually receive more views per month over time due to...

Last night I had trouble sleeping. That's not good, because I like to get up early and write my article for the day. I couldn't do both--stay up "not sleeping" and get up early as well. So I did something that I could do. I wrote...

estaban2501 I pretty much always write at night. For some reason I usually get inspired while I'm tossing and turning in bed trying to sleep. Then I figure I might as well make a few bucks writing an article rather than just laying in bed. Its a bit odd but I've gotten...

Hello! What good does coffee does to our body? Of course, I've heard of anti-oxidants in it that does some good to the body, but what about other benefits? I'm asking coz I likr coffee very much but not an excessive drinker...

estaban2501 Black coffee is the "best" for you because it doesn't have all the sugar, fat etc. those blended frapuccinos really negate the benefits of the coffee because they are mostly surgar and milk with some coffee. also keep in mind artificial sweeteners are not good...

every power is unique and are great in their own way but which power do you want to have if you were given the chance to choose?? for me it would probably be the power to travel in time. there's so many things i want to change in...

estaban2501 Well I really hate to say it but time travel has SOOO many issues with it involving paradoxes and what ifs that I really don't want to bother. Now flying on the other hand would be perfect. I could travel wherever I needed to be in no time at all. Its...

I know tags are important for search purposes here in myLot. When I post discussions, I make it a point to add tags and put as many as possible. However when i respond to discussions or topics, I someimes puts tags and sometimes...

estaban2501 always always. I've noticed that the pay is better when you add tags so I always do my best to add them. Not to mention if it drives more visitors to mylot then they make more money and thus we as members make more money.

Sorry but I need to rant for a moment. I am sick and tired of people complaining about declining offers and how they hate the Performance Pay. I guess people can't see the big picture. The performance pay is a good thing! Why?...

estaban2501 Agreed! Rating at helium has its pace but I personally dislike it as well. Granted I use helium mainly to gauge how my writing stacks up to others. Which other sites do you write on besides AC and helium? I'm always on the look out for other sites that'll pay...

I've been hearing about PDAs or public displays of affection since middle school when they decided that kids could hug and that was it. No holding hands etc. My question is how much is too much in public? Personally I feel a...

estaban2501 A quick slap on the butt is even too much more me. Granted I don't get the appeal either so that might have something to do with it. Thanks for the input!

estaban2501 It really comes down to sustainability. AC gets paid by advertisers when there ads are seen. AC has moved to this model. In your example I agree I would be a bit upset at first but I also would realize that if the company didn't make me hourly then I...

estaban2501 That's correct. I also want to check and see if you are trying to submit for upfront payment or just the performance payments. Since you are not in the U.S. you can't get upfront payments at the moment just performance ones.

estaban2501 Bear with me it been a while since I've written with AC but there should be a link to edit and re-submit. You just have to edit out your name and that should be it. There is the small detail that they might still reject your article for another reason as well....

estaban2501 byline is a word for your name or what you go by. More than likely you used your name at the end of the text or in some other way put who you go by in the text. They don't like this because they already have your name/screen name at the top and it doesn't...

Traffic exchanges are popping up all over the place. I do not like them. Just a bunch of people clicking some ad to earn a credit so their ad can get clicked. Your website opens in a timed and framed page. When the timer is done...

estaban2501 Because you really should look at the sites. When I surf exchanges I am courtious enough to actually look at the sites being advertised. I can safely say that used correctly Traffic Exchanges can be VERY beneficial to any online endeavor. I've earned 100's...

estaban2501 In short publishers list topics they need articles for and what price they are willing to pay. They also state any specific details such as keywords and type of writing. Writers then write articles catering to these specific articles and the publisher picks...

I was wondering if Helium does have an affiliate program which help members to earn even more money. Especially, if they provide each member with a unique link. That would be perfect!
