Does anyone know how to use this site well?

Add lots of interests so there is a lot to choose from when posting a response. Add lots of friends so that they'll see your discussions and possibly respond. Refresh your home page frequently so you'll know what discussions are out there without having to dig through the individual interest areas. The more interests and friends you have will keep this info fresh. When you respond to a discussion, make it worthwhile for people to read. Don't just post one/two word answers, put a little thought into it. When starting a discussion, make sure to put it in the proper interest category and make it something that people will want to respond to, that they'll have an opinion on, etc. If there is nothing for people to interact with, they won't respond or if they do, it won't add much to the discussion. Get referrals. Make a few bucks here yourself and tell your friends/family how easy it was and how much fun you're having. Make sure to tell them how it differs from every other site out there (it is very different!), and it really does pay and you don't have to wait months to get it. You're not going to get rich here, but if you have any amount of time at all and are even halfway literate, you can do well. I've only been here since mid-February and I'm very pleased with what I've done.
