Keeping Track

Am keeping track today to see exactly how many discussions I responded to and how many I started. Want to try to figure out approximately how much each post is worth. Will find out in the morning. Has anyone else tried this method and if so, what were your findings?

Ive been doing that now for awhile now. I just go to the discussions I responded to that day. But I dont really know when the cut off time is. So I cant really figure it out. But almost!

Am sure I'll get all confused in the morning especially if it's before coffee and not make any progress. Thought it might be a different assignment for myself.....lol Thanks for responding.

I haven't tried anything like that so let me know what you find out. How was the weather last night?

Am not counting the "add comment" to an already started discussion such as this one as I don't believe we are paid for them more than once. Will post something tomorrow after the earnings is updated. Am counting the total discussions I either started or answered. Was pretty loud out there last night. About 90 mph winds. No damage in our immediate area but the local weather forecaster advised all people in this area to sleep in their basement or the lowest part of the house. I didn't do it since we don't have a basement and didn't want to sleep in a closet...lol The cat might like that but I had no interest!

I haven't tried that but it should be interesting to see what you come up with. More of us need to try that also and see if it comes out close to the same as your figures.

It looks like each discussion is worth about 1 1/2 cents to 1 3/4 cents. Several variables involved that I didn't figure such as best response, the amount of responses or if the reader gave the writer a plus or minus for the discussion. It's really hard to figure but that's about as close as I could get. Thanks for responding.
