| Quote: | | How can anyone win the contest if it pays no more than that |
the contest doesn't have anything to do with the amount of money, but the 'number' of posts (not counting pub posts they don't count toward the montly total, they count money wise, but not in number)....15 cents, i have some that are that amount and lower, i have some that are 45 cents or so too...i will caution you though, not to try to fill up space with garbage in an attempt to drive your money up....people have been banned for that.......and rightfully so...
i post here (clearly) not for the money, although it is a nice bonus, don't get me wrong! My motivation isn't the money, maybe that's a better way of saying it....
I'll send lakemen a pm to check this thread again...re: how you're paid etc...there is info in the 'earn money' tab...but last time i looked it didn't say anything about the posts amounts reducing with time....in fact this thread is the first i'd heard of it!
pm off to lakemen guys....

| Lori, did you you not wonder why your pay got so low after a while. I was quite surprised.In the beginning it was great. Sometimes I don't have a lot to say in posts cause I don't weant to fill up posts with a lot of meaningless words. I do think though some say the contest goes by the no. of posts some say how much money is earned in a month.I think the contest rules state how much money is earned in a month.If you click on the marothon on the right side of the page it shows who is ahead and what they have in ways of money and I noticed the one that has the most money is the one who is ahead not the one with the most posts. Check it out. I am quite dissapoimnted in the amount you get fopr posting but maybe it will be ok.I see there are other ways of earning on here has anyone tried any of those? |

Honestly I didn't/don't pay too much attention to it...i notice what it says after i hit 'reply' like 'you were paid .11134132 for that post! ha ha...been paying attention now though! I sent lakemen a pm asking that he come to this thread...and clear up some things....
| Quote: | | I see there are other ways of earning on here has anyone tried any of those |
we need to ask ins maze about the blogging....
I'm just sure the contest is number of posts per month (excluding the pub)...i'll double check...think the money is inmaterial as far as the contest goes...i do not remember EVER reading anything that said that the pay per post decressed with tenure however! perhaps it's time for the admin. to update the rules etc.....

Good suggestion, Lori!
We now have an "Insurance Blogging" blog that could have been designed by a world renowned expert on blogging, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, but instead, it was designed by me.
It can be found here: http://blogging.ampminsure.org
Blogging simply means EXTRA INCOME!!
Blogging simply means HELPING THE COMMUNITY GROW!!
When you visit this blog, please leave a "Comment". We want know whether or not this blog helps unless we hear from our Members.
If you would like to see this Insurance Community on Page #1 of Google,
let's blog! |

We really need lakemen to come here and address all this stuff, he is the men with the answers, LOL.
I won the contest last month and really was not even paying attention, I was just visiting and contributing quality posts to where I thought it was relevant. I think this is a fair way to handle the contest.
As far as the points go for earning potential, I find that my posts are longer and more informational if I only post on those threads that I have something really interesting to say. I try to avoid the "I agree" or the posts that show that I am just don't have a clue, but that is just me. I find that some things interest me more than others, there are a lot of posts that I will go in and read and have no clue, and I try not to regurgitate what some one else has already said unless I have an added point to add to it.
Just my two cents.  |

YES, this is the correct way, but post count is the factor...

This is EXACTLY what you should be doing | Quote: | | I try not to regurgitate what some one else has already said unless I have an added point to add to it. |
This is a good rule...it's always easy to tell those that are monetarily driven or those trying to boost their count...all the ''i agree'' .... or the regurgative posts (unless they are to clarify or outline answers) also show bad form, and can get someone blocked if it's non-sensical...you however my friend have great posts!

| I think that you are right too goodnatured, a post can start out great, all the right questions are there, the advice is rolling along and then all of a sudden you feel like you are watching a rerun, the same answers are practically repeated by someone else. It is discouraging to the reader so imagine what it does to the poor person who comes here for help. I would advise to stay away from doing that and only post where you feel that your have something intelligent to say that would help solve the persons question or expand on what was said like you just said, sorry did not mean to regurgitate (had to look how to spell that) birds do that for there young don't they, LOL |

Ok guys, I am pretty late here. Thanks for the PM Lori. 
Firstly, let me clear the confusion about the AmPmMarathon. This is what was said at the commencement of the event,
| Quote: | | We are truly glad to announce the commencement of a gala contest in terms of achieving the highest forum posts dollars earned by a single user from this month onwards. On the basis of this highly motivated individual achievements we would look forward to the winner, who would be endowed with an Ipod Shuffle from our side. |
I am sure that part is answered now.
Moving on to the second issue - the more I post the less I earn. Why is that?
Sounds silly alright, but when the system was designed we did not see this coming. But I assure all of you that I will try and come up with something better in the near future. Why dont you guys try your hands with the other ways of earning with the community in the meantime.
Thanks,
Lakemen

| I would try but I find the instructions for someone who has never blogged a bit sketchy. If we had some more instructions or guidance on this I would be glad to give the guide and bogging a chance. I was wanting to win an ipod for my daughter but at this rate of pay I am afraid there is no way. How many of you have won an ipod and has there been any other prizes or is this a new thing? |

Hi hummingbird,

Thanks, this is valuable information. This Blog Guide is designed for those who have never blogged. So would you please help us all:
(1) What parts of the blog are "sketchy"?
(2)You say you need "instructions" or "guidance" for the "instructions" - can you be a little more specific?
To Start a Blog you need to be concerned about two things ONLY:
(1) Creating a "Title" for your blog - please read instructions.
(2) PM Lakemen and ask for your blog to be uploaded to the server.
That's All! Initially!
We will all help you and you can buy your daughter the i-pod from your blog income. |

Yeah, Lakemen, You should have known that you would have some really great posters here with tons of good knowledge to pass on to fellow man with problems, LOL.
We trust that you will come up with a solution this problem. We know that you know you have a great population here that is truely involved with this forum and almost invest in it as if it were their very own, we have taken ownership and I should say proud ownership of many useful threads. I appreciate your efforts in taking care of this so that those who are contributing a good amount of time to quality posts are compensated.
This is a great place to be, I have sent emails for the referrals bonus, mine just has not hit the limit where I can get my mula yet, LOL.
thanks for addressing these issues lakemen, we really do appreciate your time. |

I won one Ipod, last month, have not gotten it yet, but I am confident it is on it's way.
How nice that you want to win one for your daughter, I am putting mine up for a christmas or birthday gift. goodluck, hope you win one soon. Honestly, if you just post where your interest lie, you will be much more successful. |

| It gts very time consuming reading all the posts here looking for something you can relate to. When the money for the posts goes to like 12 cents it is very disheartening. Mr maze I did not mean YOUR instructions were hard to understand. I just book marked yours to go through hoping they will help me to blog. Do the debt and credit forum pay as well?I find them more interesting than insurance. I would like to add some there as well. |
