Gluing myself back together.
Hello again folks...friends, followers and followees.
Today I come to you refreshhed after having achieved a goal that I ranted about not being able to reach just two days ago.
A reached certified commenter status and earned my first $0.50
Now, as far as comments go toward earning money, that first 50 cents came at a price of 52 comments! A person will spend a lot of time becomming a certified commenter but even if they stop after their 52nd comment, this still stands as an affirmation that money can be earned here and it can be earned by writing. It really is that simple.
Now, my next 52 comments will earn me $25.50 and so if I plug away at it 5-6 comments a day from here on out (on average) I will never have to go through the 50 comments for community credits thing again and I will never have to pay out of pocket for my membership again.
Now, I only hope to work at this for a year or less. My first year's goal was to have this business idea become self-funding. I have 10 months now to reach that goal. Commenting for cash is not the primary way I want tomake that happen, but I will stay on track in case that's how it plays out. I hope to start making money long before that and at a somewhat faster rate than the $13 per week that I'm shooting for right now.
So, to those who have not given site comments a chance, I want to let you know that I'm totally cool with that! It helps to keep comments available to me!
A little more to say here...that site comments has changed a lot of things about me and my account here, as well!
My life has been enriched by learning things other people know like what I need in a digital camera, the best camping stoves, how to wear back packs and, you guessed it, the history of Chuck Taylor Converse All-Star shoes. I have learned about many more money making scams than I knew existed and I have also read content that reinforces the great decision I made in coming to WA.
I also have learned a little about dealing with people (read: make softer, more pleasing comments) but I also noticed that this has caused me to become more engaged in the community. My rank was somewhere near 165,000 when I took on site comments. Today, a month later, it's 1006.
I went from watching others get help to being able to help...and WANTING to help in this time.
It is with that that I would proclaim that WA has made me a better person...even if only in a small way.
And now, I'm 50 cents better than I was when I sat down here!
Thank you all for tolerating my last rant! But, even though I think I'm a better person, the part of me that wrote that was sincere and is unapologetic about it.

I am not sure that i understand comments, or,becoming .a certified commenter I just naturally make comments of interest to me or ones that I like or have thoughts about. I had no clue that one could make some pocket change doing this. How does it work and what is involved? Thanks in advance.

Basically you need to leave 50 comments in the last 30 days, using the Site Comments tool, have a less than 20% skip rate and have more than an 80% acceptance rate. You need continue to meet these requirements or you will lose your certified status. Once you become certified you will receive community credit for one comment and then $0.50 for the next and will alternate for each comment you leave (so $0.50 for every other comment, etc.).

I’m only half way to my 50 comments and now I know it’s your fault John :P
Nah just kidding, good job, it is quite entertaining looking at other people’s sites, I just find it takes me away from my own content so it’s a bit of a balancing act.
Congratulations
je suis simplement heureux de passer,des commentaires,a repondre les salutations ds autre affilies...bonne chance...
Thanks! I will slow down now, but don't think I took them all. I have put 25 of my own requests for comments in return!
Yes, being taken away from creating isn't really frustrating until tomorrow, when I look at my things to do and see that I didn't do any of them yesterday.
All the best!
Hey John

bonjour vous allez bien?je vous souhaites bonne chance et longue vie...assez de bonnes choses pour vous.
Yes, It's awesome and two months in, I have not been discouraged in my hope for success.
Sure, as you know, a person here and there has frustrated me, but Utopia doesn't actually exist.
This place is so uplifting and you are one of the great contributors to that! I see you everywhere I go! I wonder, as I find new things to do and see a comment of yours if there's any place on this site that you haven't found yet! Heh.
Do have a great day!
What can I say, John
I love adventures and everything in here is so amazing
Go well and enjoy it all
