@kaka135 For the last few posts, I’ve been just submitting a nice image from Pixabay as the featured image. I don’t add a second one. I want to see if not creating a more unique image, or not adding a second image, has an impact on my earnings.

Things are slow right now, though. I have two posts in the queue – one for about two days now.

If they have reverted to the old rate, that means we can get 15 cents for 300 words.

That is not too bad.  I sure hate to publish a post and then see that the earning is just 10 cents.

After all, we do not get much passive income from the posts unless we promote it every day.

$6.58 is my current available balance. It is more than half-way to the required minimum cash-out. By the way, I have not read any update either those who made a cash-out and have been already transferred to their respective PayPal accounts have made a withdrawal. Any update for this matter. We’re too eager to get that information. We’re also eager to share it to those who don’t believe LiteracyBase is a paying online site. How many days would it take you to withdraw that amount?

@scheng1 Do you mind if I ask a bit about your passive revenue on LB? I’m curious as to how many visitor referrals you are getting and where/how you are sharing. Myself, I share my own posts on Twitter, Pinterest, G+ once each and on Facebook in different groups depending on the content.

Myself, I share my own posts on Twitter, Pinterest, G+ once each and on Facebook in different groups depending on the content. When I remember, I also Stumble them. I share others’ posts, depending on the quality and relevance to the topics I normally share. A good post about food, parenting, writing, internet, etc. I might share on two or more networks.

I am seeing about 80 – 100 visitor referrals a day, without sharing anything a second time.

@nakitakona13 Did you mean to ask how long it took for money to be transferred from our PayPal accounts to our banks? That would vary with your location and the rules set by PayPal and your bank. These rules are the same regardless of where your earnings came from – they have nothing at all to do with LB. My PayPal account takes 3-5 business days to transfer withdrawals to my bank.

The payment from LiteracyBase on the 10th of the month was instant, meaning there was no waiting period. The wait is from month’s end to the 10th only.

I have $2.19 and I have just started. I am waiting for approval on a blog post. I hope I can earn a bit from that one. I really like how sharing works on this site.

@ruby3881 Do images in the post affect SEO, or do you just test it out to see if it has any impact on the earnings on LB only?

If I am not mistaken, I read that it’s good to add alternate text or tooltip for image, so the search engine can pick up the keyword for the image. I am not sure if I understand this correctly. So, does that mean it’d be better for us to add these attributes to the images in order to get better SEO?

I wonder if the slow blog post review process is because of the weekends. The team needs to take longer time to review more blog posts as they are not working in the weekend.

I am sure you will update us about your findings soon. 🙂

@scheng1 Do you mean it used to be only 10 cents for a 300 word post previously? Certainly 15 cents is much better. 🙂

@oksummer It seems you are doing quite good here as a newbie. Hope your blog post will be approved soon.

@kaka135 Images absolutely have an impact on SEO, as do the words you put into your image tags (alt, description, caption.) Most people don’t pay enough attention to that – and it can have an impact on how your article will look when it’s pinned on Pinterest too.

I’m just trying to see if the number of quality of the images has any effect on the pay we get at LB. We know they said they want to favour higher quality, SEO-friendly articles. But so far, I’m not sure what criteria they might be evaluating. It would be great if @support would make a list, so everyone will know what parts of our posts we should be working on. That would help the whole site.

@Lee Ka  Opening pages that have many images take time and therefore may not be in the interest of SEO – just my thinking.

June 22, 2016 at 4:08 pm

@bestwriter The number of images on a page used to be a big deal, but now that everything is much faster I think it’s less of a concern for SEO unless the site is already slow to load. Just a guess, of course, but I think search engines prefer pages with more images – if the alt tags and such are properly used.

June 22, 2016 at 4:20 pm

@nakitakona 13, No other way to let our income move, to comment and comment , and post to post though it takes weeks to decide by them to publish or not.I wonder why they are so slow in their moderation.

June 22, 2016 at 4:45 pm

When one is looking for  information that is not dependent on images then these images would be of little use. Even having a background colour slows the opening of pages. Images can eat up a lot of memory too. My ISP allows 18 gb of memory for 3 months and if I am to open videos and sites that have lot of images then this is not enough for me.

@nakitakona13 In India, the amount from PayPal is automatically transferred to your bank accounts every week. My withdrawal amount from literacybase was also automatically transferred from PayPal to my bank account. It took 5-6 days.

June 22, 2016 at 8:10 pm

Is it me or is it taking longer for LB to approve post. Over 3 days now and no approval. Scared to write more in fear I will lose all my work. Do you think the rate could be going down the more people are joining this site to write?

June 22, 2016 at 9:11 pm

@oksummer Everyone is in the same boat. I have eight pending posts for approval. I don’t know the reason as such a delay has never happened before.

June 22, 2016 at 10:26 pm

Many online earning websites become slow as time passes by. They start big (in order to attract more users) and then end up diminishing their returns. There is a common pattern which happens and then websites pay for same common mistake.

There was a website: Blogjob which started with 150 Points a day and then reduced to 100 Points and finally banned Points system thus being redundant.

It is good to know that many people are close to getting paid. I am also walking ahead slowly but steadily. Unfortunately, due to some problems with the site (posts not getting approved on time etc.) – the situation is getting problematic.

Fortunately, have seen another website. Let us see how it goes.
