Walk Toward the Light ... I Mean the Points ... I mean ????

It is REALLY difficult to gain Gather points for me lately!

Maybe it is because I do not write interesting enough stuff that contributes to the excitement here in Gatherland. Or perhaps I just don't post enough articles, photos, or videos. BUT, all in all, I do not collect half as many points as I use too.

I have been racking my brain to come up with ideas that would not only interest people here in Gather, but that would interest me enough as well to keep on posting. If I could just land a topic that would generate enough views & comments, it would really make time here more worthwhile.

It looks like this will be an ongoing project & a challenge. Wish me well. I do for everyone out there in Gather also.

Hi CL,

This post may give you some good ideas. Some of the most popular content is about TV shows that members enjoy, watch and write about.

You are absolutely correct
... here is the proof Royal Pains Review which I did according to your directions ...

but it is kinda like throwing mud in my face at the same time ... since my personal acclaim is toward more creativity ... am I now a bottom feeder????

If you want creative - go creative. I'm a writer, so I write. Takes a while, but hang with like-kind people, be interested in them too, and well, the points start coming. To me, it's not about the points - then again, I'm not turning them away. lol

Same here. I like chatting and writing on here, but I am often pressed for time.

Thanks MaryAnne for the tip.

Best way I've found to get lots of points is to write about something guaranteed to make certain people angry with me. I don't do it often, because, well, they don't listen anyway, but, you know, I even thank them for the points and they keep coming anyway. lol
