Questions about how this works?

It's a huge secret. Nobody knows. But from my observations, you get around a cent for a response, more or less depending on the quality and probably what it is rated.

You'll start to figure about how much you get as soon as you start seeing your earnings each day.

That was a bussiness secret that I found with this. And I am sure it was not same for all entries. It was varrying depends on the post. But I don't know whether the factor that effects your earning is quantity or quality.
