Gather? I don't get how

I'm a member there too. I haven't found anything there that tells you how to earn points. I would like to know too.

I know you posted this a while back and you probably already found the answer to this, but just in case you haven't, I figured I'd answer it for you. You get the most points on Gather for referring people, but you also earn points for joining groups, for adding connections to other people, for joining groups, for commenting on discussions, pictures or videos others have posted...I'm not sure, but I think you get a little bit higher points for commenting if your comments are longer. .just like you do here. I think you get more points for your discussions that you post the more commments you get on it and the higher the rating on it. I find it's much easier to earn points on Gather than here. I know LOTS of people who get over the 3000 points they need every month on Gather to be offered the cash option.. which is 50.00..some get 10,000+ points per month! Im only at the GC option, but I don't have all day to sit and post and comment and I don't have a ton of connections, but I did earn a gift card last month. I havent' made payout here more than once. Of course, I dont hardly post here anymore like I used to. Anyeay, hope this helps in case you didn't already know :O)

Unlike here, you get points for almost everything you do on Gather. Referrals are a one shot thing and don't build your points as much as you think. The best way to earn points and gift cards is to read and comment on other people's articles and photos. The more you comment on others the more they will comment on your works, Gather folks are good at reciprocating! Either way the comments go you earn points. Here you only get rewarded for commenting on other people, not for the comments other people leave.
