Hi mequan, well I just had a quick look at your profile and you seem to be making many discussions which have no responses, you only earn if your discussions have responses and you comment back on them. I'd suggest you leave them for the time being and concentrate on responding to others with decent four line answers as your current activity is not going to help you.

Thank You I think I will do that more often.But I did this because I thought you made more money by starting discussions.

Hi mequan, the trick is when you make a discussion you only get paid when you respond back to each response, and you need to put about four quality lines there, yours above is too short. Don't respond by saying thank you but expand if you can on the subject, provoke some further interest. If they comment back to you again, comment back again, this starts a discussion and this is how you earn. So it's best to only post discussions you are interested in so if you do get a lot of response you won't be bored answering back. Too many new discussions all at once can be offputting, and don't post discussions which you will only get a one line answer to. Add friends with similar interests to yourself so they will see your discussions. Hope this helps a bit more of how to get used to the system but it takes time to build up a rapport with people.

Oh, and don't post about earnings, this discussion may well be deleted as you mentioned earnings.

Well 'I'll give you a tip it's just keep typing and have fun and you'll look behind you and there'll be a heap of cash. Okay maybe I exaggerated a little but I have the main point in there it's look after the pennies and the pounds will find themselves.
