Literacy Base has some unpleaseant aspects

These are some of the unpleasant aspects of Literacy Base. When you log into that site first thing that happens is an irritating window advertisement about Literacy Base done by a robot female voice describing the steps to success with that site as a writer. Then there is a middle of the screen pop up ad that reoccurs every single time you load a page and it follows you as you try to scroll up and down a page on that site. Then you have to close that window in order to get rid of it. Then it reappears the next time you open another page. Then you get that automated female voice about Literacy Base fundamentals again. The only way to remove the annoyance is to turn the volume on it to zero so that every time it starts running it is silent and another good thing about it if you can call it a good thing, is that the Literacy Base Introduction video and tutorial remains near the bottom and center of the page so it does not float and follow you like that pop up ad that happens every time you load. The pop up ad suggests another topic for you as if you wanted to redirect yourself from that page every time. How can you focus on an article if it is suggesting you go somewhere else? Go figure. One more issue. The fact is, if you write an article, it has to be approved. Also, if you do not write much you are considered a Newbie. I know some of the writers there who write regularly and after months of regular attendance they are still 'NEWBIES.' Go figure. If you visit that site you will find out what I am talking about. Does anyone here try to write articles for that site?

With such a name you cannot be surprised to hear a school teacher explaining you the fundamentals during months. I have not a lot of free time left, and myLot is the only earning site where I write.

And I myself am with you on that and many others as well. I spend my time best when I write on myLot.

No and it doesn't sound like I'm going to LOL. Is there much reward for all that? I hate frustrations like that during my day . There are enough frustrations offline!

You can earn some cents there but basically it will take up too much of your time if you also want to write here at myLot. I prefer to write more here and I really think most people who have been here will agree to stay with the tried and the true and the long standing such as myLot is. myLot is a better site to write for hands down.

I signed up with them, but everything you mentioned annoyed me as well ;) So, I decided not to write on there. I don't want have to go through all of that just to write an article. Keep it simple :)

I imagine you have had some problems getting them to publish anything. I do think they have a 300 word minimum but not really sure. I also know they insist on approving each article before it goes 'LIVE' and I have so far earned about 2.50 for writing just about 10 articles there. I guess I could earn more but it is slow going. I feel for every one who is there trying to earn a little bit of money having to go through the system. I too write some there but myLot is really a smoother site and better even than any other I have written at.
