Making money on Gather?

I am a member there and have been for 2 years. I have been paid several times. It does take a long time to get points but just like here the harder you work at it goes by faster. Try it out i think you will like it.

I am a gather member, and unless you put up a lot of posts, the points have been crawling for the past year or so. There was a post put up by the administrator, Chuck, a couple weeks ago, talking about changes that will be implemented this year to address those issues, and others. So, we'll see. In two years, of submitting only writing story posts, and commenting, I have enough for cashing out about 35-40 bucks. That's how slow it is. On the other hand, it is a wonderful social media network site. I've made great friends there, and because it was first a writer's site, it's still a great place to go for learning to write, and polishing up stories. There are tons of writer support groups. You can also apply, through the Gather links, to work and write for Skyword, which is the site that pays you to write the newsy type articles. You can do those and get paid, as well as collect Gather points. That is probably the only way to make some real bucks there. And yes, even though who write for Skyword and do "news" mainly just regurgitate what's out there. So it's relatively easy in that sense. And as long as your content is yours, you can copy and paste it from anywhere on the web on to the Gather site. I will say my writing has improved immensely since I've joined the site.

mabey thier just smart.. dont judge a book by its cover! and try reading the site a bit. try sharing your opinion there. mabey you can make money there easly and you will have fun

I am a member into that site, friend. But still don't know how that site works or they really pay?

First time you are not going to make any money. By posting and sharing you will get points. They are then converted into money. If you want to be paid through paypal you have to earn something like 625 points. That is equal to $10. So that is when you will get paid. Original content is not necessary. You can republish there anything you already have somewhere on another website. But yes, you have to be its original license holder. For instance, if you wrote for Bukisa you can post its contents at Gather.

I know a few people who use your site.. I tried but was always so slow to load for me. I tried on 3-4 different browsers. So I gave up. Good luck with them. They do pay.
