I've started 438 discussions but only have $4.94 in my earnings..

It looks like you're not putting your discussions under interest categories, which could be part of the problem. I always check "discussions from my interests" but rarely check the other ones, unless they are started by my friends. I'm sure there are other people like me who are more likely to reply to a discussion under an interest they have. I figure you're getting almost nothing for your replies, because it looks like most of them are very short. Many of your discussions are very short as well, which could be part of why people aren't responding to them. Unless you have a really solid friend group that always replies to you, starting discussions can be a tricky thing anyway, so you should at least make them longer so we can see you put some time and effort into them. I spent a lot of time and effort on this response, because I actually went to your profile and looked at several of your discussions and responses to try to see what you could be doing wrong. =P

I think the key is to respond to as many discussions as possible as well as starting them. I am not an expert on the site by any means, but earnings appear to increase by responding to a lot of discussions per day as well as starting a few. Good luck and I hope you hang in there. :-)

The earnings are harder to come by. What i could make in a month now takes at least 3.

You have to put your topics under the proper interests instead of lumping them under "myLot" or wherever you put them. Also it is always best to go to My friends discussions and answer their posts first, that way you will be sure to get some money and to make sure your answer is more than a couple of short sentences, maybe more the four or five lines -- I am not sure. But if you give an answer that takes up the whole of the rectangle, that will be in your favor, only do not repeat yourself.

Well yeah, i guess you have an acurate earnings coz as far as i know, our post here is 0.01cent per response and same amount per photo we upload. So if we did 100responses a day, it should be $1. Have a nice day ahead from kiko.
