does anyone actually make good money

I have seen some discussions where members have claimed to make a lot of money but they are either reading their amount wrong or they have a lot of referrals who are very active with posting, because the person claiming to make lots of money doesn't have the rating to justify the claim. Oh well. I have already made $40 for this month which is very good but as you can see I have a reasonably high rating and am here most days at the present time. All I can suggest is that you keep starting discussions like this one, build up your Buddies, get referrals who are willing to post, respond to discussions, make quality responses and you too will earn a few dollars. Remember too that when you start a discussion if you feel that one response merits it, to give that member a 'best response' plus you can give a positive (+) rating to other members for their responses to any discussion. :)
