I have noticed recently that there is an option to post your photos so they will be available to others to use for their content as well. I assume that is what the collaboration setting tab is for. Have any of you done this with...

hcromer I add a lot of my own photos for slide shows and for the articles I write, but I'm hesitant to submit them as available for the public gallery. I've actually only searched the public gallery once out of curiosity and it turns out the only photo it pulled up...

I know that they just cashed out and I got almost $9 for that and now I have $1 left in my account, but when I looked at my account the other day before I was paid out I had over $11. Where did that extra $1+ go? Have any of you...

hcromer I figured it out, even though they had subtracted the amount out of my account, since they hadn't paid me for it yet, I was still showing how much I had been paid out for the previous month. Doh!

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...

hcromer Thanks for the heads up... I'll check with the bulbs next time I go by there. My grandparents are going to give me a couple of their bulbs to get started this year, I hope to have enough from that and buying some from Lowe's or something to get a good amount...

hcromer Good to hear about the ants... I definitely plan on cutting them and bringing them in the house when they bloom. I looked at Lowe's over the weekend and I couldn't find them there. Maybe I'm just looking for them too early in the season.

hcromer Just out of curiosity, how much do you usually make off of short stories? Do you get upfront payment? Many hits on the stories?

hcromer Yeah, I'm not very active on here either usually, but since it had been a good 4 months at least since I got paid I decided that I was going to work on it until I did. I thought I was going to reach it last month, but I had to wait a couple days into this...

For the past few weeks it seems like they are updating the stats at AC more and more frequently. When I first joined months ago, it seemed like it was only updated about once a week. Now, it seems they update almost everyday, or...

hcromer I don't think it is for a short time... They posted something on their blog about it yesterday: http://associatedcontent.blogspot.com/ But I never got an e-mail or anything about it and I usually get them when there are major changes.

I'm just curious, at what age did you start working? and why? Do you think it's good for children to work earlier so as to appreciate the value of money? or does working (and earning) distract them and they'd rather work (and...

hcromer I forgot to mention that I don't mean to devalue education... I still went to school while working and I am still in college now. The best part about it is my current job is paying me to go to school so I will also not have the debt of student loans.

hcromer Haha, thank you Bethany! That is a good idea. I have like 10 people following me now or so. I should go around and start following other people, do they get some kind of notification when this happens?

hcromer What's really funny is that it's totally not a conscious thing that I'm doing when I become active when my referrals have. Maybe we are on the same wavelength or something... I only have one active referral, sometimes another one will log on and write...

hcromer I concur, it brings back memories of the 80s... And Napoleon Dynamite. :) I've been thinking about trying to set up my own "Glamour Shots" kind of deal in my area.

hcromer I would be skeptical of a site that has such a high payout amount as well. I know that it gives you something to strive for and they know that you will be more likely to stick with the site, but I feel that having that money in your pocket is more of a...

hcromer E-cards are the ideal way to go. I know I feel bad sometimes if I send an e-card though because I don't want people to think that I'm being cheap or that they aren't worth going out and spending the money.

hcromer I wouldn't cut out carbohydrates, they (along with protein) give you the energy that you need to make it through your workout.
