Many of us got paid a second time. But let us not think they hastened the process just because we reminded them or showed concern and doubts whether they will pay at all as the payment was not made on the 10th.

My appeal is that we should wait and see if LiteracyBase will pay us on their own without us reminding them when the next payout is due.

A delay of two days is not something that should send out  ‘worry signals’. Even the most established sites do not sometimes pay on the dot.

thanks very much for your reminder.

I guessed that you are right after all.

Even Blogjob and Bubblews had delayed their payments before.

Furthermore, we should consider that the funds problem with LB, since there isn’t any ads here for them to earn money.

I was wondering how long they can pay us or are LB a bunch of rich guys???

@peachpurple  I have no idea how they pay. But let’s wait and see if they will pay without our reminding them to.

As matter of fact, I never started any appeals on this site or any other sites but only reminded the site owners that paying dot on time helps the site and encourages members to bring more friends and relatives. There is no use appealing to a site which has plans to pay and again there is no use of any number of appeals that has no plans to pay. So there…

@suny  I am not appealing to the site but to the community   🙂

@bestwriter I said it as a common thing having none in particular in my mind. Do you think appealing or not appealing makes any difference. Had it been the case we would not have lost money on different sites. So as far I am concerned I go with the flow and never against the stream. Online work has taught me few lessons and this is one of them.

Sorry but what is the requirement of raising an appeal?

You demanded money, waited for the date; but not paid. Obviously, people get angry. This is the era where most websites turn scam all of a sudden. There was a website (won’t mention the name though) which started as a legit one and was rated 9.8 on a scale of 10 by many sources. Suddenly, the website ran away never to come back. So, any delay in payments prove fatal. It is an indication that potential scam going on.

So, it is human nature not to tolerate any delay. Fortunately, this is not an investment website so people do not feel much pain. But, they lose trust whenever there is a delay. As soon as they realize that the website pays, this trust is automatically restored. This is quite a normal process. It does not require any “Appeal” whatsoever in nature. It needs patience.

@thinker  I am not sure if our raising the issue got them to pay us or whether it is really necessary at all for the community to show concern as from my experience sites pay when the time is right for them. So next time may be we could just see how long they will delay. Just a thought.

@suny  That’s the point. So let us not assume they paid us because we complained!!

July 14, 2016 at 7:49 pm

I will take that advise if my payment will be delayed for the first on this site. As long as there is a notification from them. It is a virtual receipt that they are in the process of paying the members. I am sure the platform for the payment scheme is still in the process of improvement. We need to be patient enough for expecting something.

@bestwriter If the site wants us to abide by the rules and regulations then they should also follow the rules they have set. And that means if they say they are going to pay by 10th of next month then they should honor the payments by the stipulated date. In case of delay, they should make an update. Honoring the payments on time is going to do a lot of good for the site’s reputation.

I agree with what @swalia has said. It looks better for the site and improves the chances that users will respect site rules when the staff honour them as well. While there may have been a good reason for the payments to be late, it just takes a moment to post a message explaining the situation. That makes the staff look professional and it improves trust in the site.

While it’s true we won’t know whether the payments were made because people complained, now there’s been a very public appeal to remain silent and see if they pay on time, there will be no way to know if your message was the reason for them to pay on time (if they do) next month. Either way, it’s sad that we have to have any such conversations. That, in and of itself, is a sign that there are improvements that need to be made. Let us hope that @admin and @support take that seriously and choose to be more proactive from now on.

As far as the comparison to Bubblews, how apt! The very first signs that something wasn’t right with Bubblews were the nonresponsiveness of the support staff and the payments coming late. Knowing how that ended, I should think any site owner would be extra careful to avoid any situation that suggested a comparison between the two sites.

@shaloo walia  There is no denying if a site goes by the rules it is good for them. But don’t you think they will pay when the time is right for them regardless of how many of us show concern? I just wanted to know the next time the payout time comes if they will pay on their own rather than us reminding them to.

July 15, 2016 at 4:11 am

@ruby3881  It goes without saying that if a site pays on the dot it augurs well for the site. I only wanted to know whether our goading made them pay us or they paid when the time was right for them.

July 15, 2016 at 4:13 am

@Shavkt I too feel we should wait as even the best of sites take a few days before they start paying.
