@swalia Thanks for asking this question. I think it’s always good to learn more about this. I always like to read the comments from readers and respond to them as well. I also like to read the comments in others’ blog posts as well.

I just try to ask a question at the end of my blog. I learned this technique in mylot, as it always helps me to gain more responses if I do so. As @grecy095 said, asking question is a good way to create interaction between blogger and readers. I remember reading an article about tips for speakers, asking questions in the speech is a good way to create the relationship and interaction between the speaker and audience, and thus the audience will not get bored too.

I would like to write a trending topic, but I am just not so good at coming up with topics. I usually just write what I am familiar with or what has inspired me on that day, even though I think it might be boring to many people. I just hope those posts might still attract some like-minded readers. 😀

@ruby3881 It’s good that you have two referral signups too! Hope you will get more referrals soon.

Yes, I agree with you. Moreover, when the owner realized the problem and tried to make a change, that might just disappoint some members and they would not like to return to the site, and might also make negative comments about the site.

I appreciate what LB does too. I prefer a site to be able to sustain for long term rather than pay high for awhile then disappear, so we can always be here to learn and share with each other. 🙂

I have several good news to share today.

1. I submitted two blog posts yesterday, and they are published when I got up in the morning.

2. I received bonus points from the team for being Quality and Hard-work. Though it’s only 25 cents, I am very happy for it.

3. I have reached $5 this morning. I joined LiteracyBase on 4 May, so it’s about 10 days for me to reach $5. Though I might be able to earn more from mylot with the same amount of days, I learn different things from this site, especially blogging and social media sharing, and also met a lot nice friends here.

4. It’s my 37th birthday and 10th wedding anniversary. We don’t usually celebrate these, but we had Pizza Hut for lunch just now, and the children were happy to spend some reading time in the book store.

Though I did not work much today, I am happy to have a break and also enjoy our family time. I am not sure if I will still have time to write a blog post today, as it’s already night time here.

@grecy095 I understand that. Sometimes when I am stuck at my freelance project, it’s nice to come to these sites and interact with others for some time. These sites are good places for me to take a break. But, since you need to travel, perhaps you’ll get more tired. So, do remember to take good rest of yourself. 🙂

That’s really a good news for meeting $12 three days in a row. Do you just listen to the call or do you need to type a lot there as well?

@peachpurple Thanks. I have just reached $5 this morning. Actually I sleep quite a lot, several times a day. I can’t sleep for long hours now, but just go and sleep whenever I am sleepy or tired. Glad that my children understand I need to sleep, and they can take care of themselves, so I can just sleep while they are playing. 😀

Yes, I really do not understand where the energies come from. The kids can just play from the morning to the night, and they seem to be more energetic before bedtime. 😀

@swalia Happy birthday to your Guru! Yes, I think it’s fortunate to have a Guru.

@morgoodie It’s okay. Take your time. I guess we are all busy with something else too. I just like how it looks like and we can also share the posts there easily, with just a link.

@ruby3881 That’s good. I was actually inspired by you to keep sharing our posts here. Social media sharing is interesting to learn and fun to do as well. Perhaps I will do that when I do not have much time to spend online later, at least I can still share some posts from others.

I agree with what you said about no limits. Though I might be able to earn better at some sites, when I have reached my daily limit, I usually just stop working there until the next day. It might be good to control my time spent on those sites, but it doesn’t seem to be good for the sites. As for mylot and LiteracyBase, there are no limits, so I will just keep spending time on these sites throughout the whole day whenever I have some time to sneak into the computer. I think this will bring more traffics to the sites, and generate more ad revenue too. Also, I think some people who just want to earn big money will not like to join these sites, and hence there might be fewer spammers, and it’s easier for the sites to manage too. This is just what I thought, as I have read from mylot, the team does not aim to get many members as other sites, but they would prefer to maintain the quality and sustainability of the site, which in return good for the members too.

@morgoodie That’s why I think it would be better for us to get the word count before we submit the blog post. It’s just better to earn 10 cents rather than 5, if there are just shy of some words. 🙂

I think the more we share on the social media sites, the more followers we will get, then we will be generating more traffics to the site too.

That’s good! Just keep going. We will all be there very soon.

May 13, 2016 at 5:02 am

@grecy095 Thanks! I am very grateful for my husband as well, he doesn’t only help to bring in money for the family, he cooks, does the housework, grocery shopping and takes care of the children as well. That’s why I try to contribute if I can work on any freelance projects, so it’ll be easier for both of us financially. 🙂

It’s good to know that you are going to start your new job soon. Though we will surely miss you while you are not around, I guess having the daytime job will definitely make better money, is it? So you will not need to be so stressful.

Congratulations on publishing two posts! I also did two yesterday, just suddenly got the inspirations to write. Sometimes things just don’t seem to be as difficult as we thought. Sometimes we might be just too tired to think, but once we got back our motivation and energy, we might be able to perform really well! 🙂

@morgoodie It sounds like the bonding among you and your sisters is really good! It’s always good to hear that.

May 13, 2016 at 4:47 am

@morgoodie I agree with you. I was discouraged after my first post was published too. But, after reading from some members in the forums, I have changed my mind. I mentioned that in my blog post.

Now I am trying to write at least 500 words, so I will get 10 cents. Since there are only 200 more words to earn the additional 5 cents (from 300 words), so I think we should be able to make it. Sometimes I thought I couldn’t make it to 500 words when I was at around 300 words, but then when I just concentrate on my writing and read my own post, I might start to get some inspiration to add more to the post. I suppose it’s a good practice for us too, to train our mind.

But, I do not think I will go for 700 words or more, that might be too tiring for me. But I am just curious to know how much I will earn for more than 1000 words. 😀

I am not sure if the category matters. So far, I have submitted posts with more than 500 words, and I earn 10 cents for each. The first one with more than 900 words makes 12 cents.

May 13, 2016 at 4:40 am

@morgoodie Yes, I just checked mine, and the referring visitors are 270. I didn’t expect it to be so much, I think I only got over 100 yesterday.  But I did share in a few sites yesterday, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and also StumbleUpon. I am thinking if there’s a way for us to know which site drives us more traffic, as I read from others, they know this clearly, but I don’t. 😀

I also shared some in Tumblr. Have you tried out Tumblr? It looks fun too! 🙂

I agree that it’s a good earning, as we just shared once, and the visitors might just keep coming to the site.

May 13, 2016 at 4:34 am

@morgoodie It seems like many of us have these friends all around. 😀

Actually I do not want them to listen to my advice, but I do hope they can really find out what they want in their life, and hence they know what to do and not to be regret again later. I actually feel a bit sad for them to keep repeating the same mistake over and over again, but I just can’t help. I guess we can just be there with them and continue to support them, but they have to learn and make a change on their own.

May 13, 2016 at 4:27 am

@morgoodie I have tried the share buttons in blog posts. There are more than one set of buttons there, and they do not seem to work for me. I just tried the share buttons at the bottom of the forum topic, it works! Yes, it does make sharing easier by using those buttons.

I usually share the posts manually on the social media sites one by one, that’s more work to do. But, in Twitter, I can add a photo to it if I share manually. I am not sure how to do it via those share buttons. I will need to learn more about them too! 🙂

May 13, 2016 at 4:09 am

@bestwriter I read from another thread from this group, the team has been adding some security check on the site, and that might cause some comments missing, and they are trying to put back the missing comments too. I guess that’s why you didn’t see my comment here.

I have not try to insert photos, besides the featured image in my blog posts before. Perhaps it’s good to try it out and see how it works. 🙂

May 13, 2016 at 3:55 am

@morgoodie You got really a lot of referring visitors! That’s good. Do you know which sites you got the most traffics from?

I think this is a good way for us to earn here too!

I am not good at getting referrals too, hope we’ll get one soon. But I agree with you, interacting with friends here is fun, so I just enjoy participating in the forums and blogging, and I believe the earning will just grow by itself. I believe in law of attraction. When we think positively, we will attract positive outcome. 🙂

May 13, 2016 at 3:48 am

@morgoodie Thanks for the compliment, I have been learning a lot from this site and from you all too! I wanted to share this because I would like to encourage everyone to keep on working on the site, and you will be awarded soon. 🙂

May 13, 2016 at 3:44 am

@cookiemonster It sounds like you are doing really good in your freelance work. Do you find the jobs locally or via any freelancing websites?
