You joined 2 forums - 1 of them is disabled. That's because it was at the very bottom of the list. When you posted a couple times, its balance dropped below -15, and forums are automatically disabled when they do that.
There are 40 other forums to choose from, and you're encouraged to post at forums near the top of the list, not the bottom. Forums at the top will earn you more points.
There's no bonus for signing up. This isn't free money we're talking about here. You
do have to earn it
Quinlan - you sent me a PM, but I can't respond since I don't have 10 posts yet...To answer your question from the PM:
The forum owners themselves do not pay you for your posts. We (Postloop) pay you. Forum owners have the option of purchasing posts, but that is optional. They can also earn them by posting themselves.
Every point that you earn is worth $0.xx. Right now it's $0.07 per point. It fluctuates based on the "Postloop economy", and right now, since there has been an influx in withdrawals and there isn't a surplus of points out there, it's dropped to $0.07 per point.
Once you do the following, you can cash out:
- $2 worth of points (currently 29 points = $2.03)
- Minimum user rating of 4 or greater (given to you by forum owners based on post quality)
- Received a rating from 3 different forum owners
Once you meet that criteria, you cash out.
