I have not been able to login to Redgage for a few days.
Now that I can login, I am surprised to see the earnings jump by a few dollars in my absence.
The page views do not warrant such increase in page views.
When I check my earning account, I am surprised to see a featured bonus of $4.95. It was for my article about reflection on Olympics.
Such a nice gesture from Redgage team.
I just hope that more of my content have such success.
It will take a really long time to reach $4.95 by page views alone.
The featured bonus is a big boost in motivation.
Do you have success story to share in your online earning quest?

I have not logged in to Redgage in ages! I need to do so and post ilinks ot my recent articles. Did you share a link for your Olympics reflection or an entire article? I never really understood how Redgage works.

Hi Canellita, haha, you are now as bad as Mommaj.
I did not link to my article about Olympics reflection.
I posted the article in entirety, as if I were using Redgage as a writing site.
You can do that for video upload, posting picture, link and article.
You can choose the option Blog, write a short description, link it to your article or blog or profile elsewhere, and then paste the entire content in the next page.
It will be published as an article.

I will have to look into it. I was going to take a look at your post, but I just tried to login and the link wasn't working. I have some links I wanted to share there as well, but I guess that won't be happening anytime soon.

I remember when you both won the contests. I think poor MommaJ has her hands full chasing those ghosts around her cave.
Do you still use Hubpages?

I think all of us who are on here who are also on redgage should send friend requests and subscribe to each other on redgage. Redgage is based on views so if I know who you are I can make a point of viewing, and commenting on your aricles.
I find redgage sometimes very frustrating because it locks up and i have trouble uploading.
That being said .. on redgage I am "Enjoy the Journey" and if you send me a friend request and let me know you are a mylotter I will add you as a friend and subscribe and comment.
Hope this helps

Hi Enjoythejourney, actually I do not have much time for commenting, and making friends there.
I joined Redgage years ago, and have many friends in my list, but I rarely check out their content.
I will usually return a comment for comment, and that is only when they do not misuse the comment feature.
Sometimes I received spam comments that link to other unrelated sites.
I am very glad of the extra money from raffle and featured bonus.
When I first joined, I never thought that I would make the minimum payout of twenty-five dollars.
It is good to see my total accumulated earning exceeding a hundred and sixty dollars as of today.

That's great that you are doing so well and it nice to see a surprise increase. You have alot of uploads. I have been a member for two years and do not have near as many as I really get tired of the glitches. However, I know several members on the site have done really really really well like $10,000 dollars and more.
Good luck and Happy Lotting.

It really bugs me that this site or that one works better on a particular browser. Who wants to install 5 different browsers on their computer just because a particular site used for earnings requires it?
Enjoythejourney, whenever I hear that people are making thousands of dollars from a site like Redgage I am always suspicious. It doesn't seem possible to do that via legitimate means.

Honestly, I love Redgage. I even got the bonus $25 from there and it helped a lot for the SEO of my friend's website. I think the website still down as I couldn't open the page. I just tried to open it 1 minute ago.

Hi Scheng,
The thing is this Redgage is closed already. I still couldn't open the site. It's so sad . One of the easiest resource to promote and earn is gone

Hi Moneymaker, when I joined Redgage long ago, it was precisely for link building to my blogs and articles.
It is only recently that I start to take the site seriously.
I think the business model is sustainable, and the site can continue on for many more years, unlike the new ones which are untested.
It is good to hear that you are helping your friend as well as making some money for yourself.

Hi Money_maker01! Could I ask how it helped with the SEO of your friend's website?

hi scheng,
after so long time i am seeing you in your discussion about redgage, i too also participating in redgage,but since 3 or 4 months i am inactive in that site, because the earning is very very slow, i am not turned my face to that site, after hearing from you about redgage site, once again i wish to visit that site to check my balance,congratulations that your article earned you nearly 5 dollars to you,have a nice day

Hi Yugasini, yes, the earning is very slow.
The one thing I like about Redgage is that you can republish your content.
That means you can use the content published in other sites, and republish in Redgage.
In this case, you do not waste much effort, and have extra earning from your hard work.
Do not give up on Redgage.
You can post comments and make friends, then your earning will increase a bit more every day.

Scheng, I didn't know you could earn on Redgage from posting comments or making friends. You were the person to explain Helium to me and now I am learning from you once again :-)

Yugasini! How have you been? I see you are still here posting at myLot. Are things going well for you?

I, first, heard about Redgage from a mylotter. It might even be yourself. I am mainly using it to upload links to articles that I have published on other sites and it has been a big help in increasing views. I think that I must look into this site further and learn about other benefits from this site.
My biggest current success with writing online was at Yahoo Voices. It had been months since I got an upfront payment from Yahoo Voices. I wrote about my recent trip to Boston and got an upfront payment of over $3.00. I like writing but I love publishing my articles. I love the views and the money that I earn from these articles.
Congratulations on your bonus. I can see where it would be a huge boost in motivation.

Hi Bostonphil, you can use Redgage for uploading pictures.
The page view payment in Redgage is better than Yahoo Voices for pictures.
There are some people who rely on pictures alone to reach nearly a thousand dollars within two years.
This is the second time I got the featured bonus.
The first was about three dollars.
However, I won the daily raffle twice, and was fifty dollars richer.
No other website pays so much for the lucky draw.

I clearly am not utilizing Redgage fully enough.
Bostonphil, where you a member of Associated Content before Yahoo Voices?

I did not know that Redgage pays for viewing pictures. I also did not know that Yahoo Voices pays for viewing pictures. I learn so much from other mylotters.
I have never explored Redgage bonuses or raffles. In fact, I have never explored Redgage. I really need to learn more about this site. I have only been using it to link my articles from Triond and Yahoo Voices to it so that I will get more page views.
Thanks for all this great information.

I am not able to use or sign up for Redgage because I do not have firefox and do not ever see myself getting it. It is great though that you saw an increase in your money there though. Congratulations.

Hi Pegasus, you will enjoy Redgage.
It is one of the few places where you can post pictures and videos, and earn from page views.
You can also use the Link function to link an interesting content or news that are not written by you.
Just write a short sentence as the introduction.

Hi there! I'm a member of RG too and I know how it feels when your article or photo to be included in the featured content. You are lucky to have reached that much bonus,I had mine for only $2 or $1,as far as I remember,hehe! It was an article,not a photo. Was yours a photo? I was also lucky to have won on their daily raffle promo,don't know how I got it but I feel it is because of the articles I am submitting to them,as I don't have referrals yet when I won.
I just hope RG wont have their downtime again,it's been hard logging in and uploading links before.

Hi Mtrguanlao, mine is also an article.
It was really very surprising, since that article was not written with anything in mind.
Just talking about our lack of exercise, and yet we dare to criticize the Olympics players for not reaching new high.
I had an earlier featured bonus that did not pay so high.
I think the admin just based on feeling or whatever to give out the bonus.
It is not a matter of page views or length of article or uniqueness of your taken picture.

It really puzzles me on how RG rates our links to be included in the featured content and their bonuses are all different,I wish the bonus that will be given are all $5,lol! A friend of mine's video got a bonus too and that video was already submitted 3 months before it was featured. I just hope the admin will give us their criterias on their featured contents.

Hi Mtrguanlao, I think Admin based on how they feel about reading or watching it.
It is not possible to review everything.
Maybe they just come across after a couple of months later, and they like it very much, so they want others to view it as well.
Good to have such surprises every now and then.

I haven't encountered redgage before. Does it work like mylot? I take on online jobs more than posting or making my own blogs. Websites that offer tasks and jobs, I go to them. I think I was able to make about $100 in one month. Not bad for me.
@scheng1 (24649)

Hi Jvincent, Redgage is completely different from Mylot.
It does not have tasks for you.
The earning is passive.
That means you have to write content, submit links or upload pictures, and you earned based on the number of page views generated.
The more views, the more income.
When I say more views, I mean a lot more views, that means in excess of a hundred views before you can feel the effect of the earning potential.
The minimum payout is $25.
It is good in a sense that once you have uploaded something, you can return years or months later, and see the earnings increase.

I actually found RedGage today and have been doing some research on it. I was looking forward to it automatically uploading all of my Flickr photos every time I add a new one but I have found out that the Import tool has been broken for the past 3 years :(.

Hi friend, good to hear about this, i am not in redgage, i heard a lot about this site. I know you are writing articles in various sites and read out some of your articles, you deserved for this bonus. Till today i don't get this kind of bonus, hope i will get it in the future for my hard work

Hi Vidhyaprakash, you should join Redgage.
Even if you just use Redgage for linking to your content in Expertscolumn, you will earn some extra cash.
The problem with Redgage is that the earning from page views is too slow.
But there is no worry about not getting paid.
Once you have enough to reach payout, you will get the money.

I know about this site and i have an account there, but i am not active, as they are not paying through paypal as well as i don't have patience to collect their card and get money from it, so i give up that site
