Do you have targets for each month earning online?

Hex - Yes, when people just focus on certain interests, such as the making money interests, then I can understand why they would think that this site is just full of spammers and people trying to get referrals. When you venture out of these interest categories, however, you realize that there is so much more to this site ... not that you won't get the occasional spam or referral link elsewhere, but it is not the usual thing on here. I am very glad that more people are finally realizing that the interaction between members is important not only because it is fun, interesting and possibly even helpful but also because that is how you can most easily increase your earnings on here. Millie - Thank you so much for the compliment about my posts and accepting my friend request. Money is on a lot of people's minds right now, especially since it seems to be in such a short supply. I have never been a member of a chat room, and that doesn't really interest me. I admit that I was rather skeptical when I first joined here, because I didn't think that I would actually get paid for just chatting, but a year later I am still here, still getting paid, and still enjoying having fun with my friends.

Hmmm ... and I had an entirely different idea about what you thought was the Alpha and Omega, my darling husband.

hahahahahah Yes but this is a business thread sooo :P

Hex - Hmmmm ... I wonder what friends you might be talking about that have helped you to change your outlook on here and helped you to see the fun side of things instead of just focusing on the earnings. I really enjoy the discussions that have a lot of back and forth interaction, and I look forward to reading all the responses on these discussions, even if I can't get back on the computer for a few days. The lengthy response boxes don't scare me, although I know that they intimidate many people ... I just look at them as more opportunity to comment on a bunch of things. OurLadyoftheLot - I have to agree that commenting back to responses that we receive in our discussions is a great way to interact and earn at the same time. Unfortunately, there are still many members that just do not understand this concept. I don't really understand the point of starting a discussion if you don't want to talk about the subject, but apparently there are many that have different ideas on this subject. Millie - Yes, you can make a decent amount of money by following your friend's discussions, especially if they are active and you participate in many response boxes and continue commenting and counter-commenting within the discussions. It does help to add friends, because it makes it a lot easier to see their activity and follow their discussions. On the other hand, if you add a ton of people you run the risk of being spammed with referral links or adding someone that starts a ton of discussions per day that they do not comment back on. It is up to you how you want to handle friends and friend requests, but I totally understand being cautious, especially at first, about adding a lot of friends. I also agree that commenting back would be the polite thing to do whether it earns for you or not or whether you are "friends" with the person or not.
