I finally earned 100 points on Gather. How in the heck can you earn 1300 in one month.  I have been on here quite a bit since I started and don't seem to be getting very far. Where is everyone else at?

If you figure out the system here, let me know. I have been here for what seems forever and only have around 875.
Elizabeth Davis Apr 6, 2007, 6:47pm EDT
Comment/rate & post articles/photos frequently. I have yet to see myself getting 1300 points in one month, but then again, I'm only on of an evening & most weekends. When I'm on, I spend more time reading & thinking of what to put for the ratings that I give. Which I don't comment very much. Good luck on your journey.

I forgot to add, get yourself some more connections/groups that interest you. More groups you publish to, the more articles/photos are read.

Thanks for the info Elizabeth
Sue D. Apr 6, 2007, 9:19pm EDT
connect with people, join groups, and post articles.
Jesse B. Apr 6, 2007, 9:46pm EDT
Thanks Sue

Judith, as soon as I figure it out, I will let you know.

Write articles, read articles, develop a cult following.........

connect with people, start a fight...........

(Just kidding)
Sandra L. Apr 7, 2007, 12:04am EDT

Its taking me awhile to get points, so I can understand the challenge, as I earn better on almost every other group I post on now.
Jesse B. Apr 7, 2007, 10:50am EDT
Thank you Mary for your insight
Jesse B. Apr 7, 2007, 10:51am EDT
Sandra, thanks for the input and humor

Post an article or two a day, try to comment on as much as you can every day and refer friends and family members.

I usually don't like refering people to sites, but this one is a pretty easy sell. The new invite set up makes it even easier and more personal.

I can't imagine getting that many points either, but I am getting there. Each day I seem to get a little bit more than the day before:)

Congratulations, Jesse. Keep on keeping on.
Christina Pilkington Apr 7, 2007, 11:23pm EDT
Congrats! I'm almost at the 100 mark. I keep earning a little more each day as I gain new connections. I try to comment each day on at least one of each of my connections content. It's getting harder now, though.
Jesse B. Apr 8, 2007, 7:55am EDT
Thanks Gwen
Jesse B. Apr 8, 2007, 7:55am EDT
Thanks for the support william
Jesse B. Apr 8, 2007, 9:07pm EDT
Hopefully, as I get better I will start accumulating faster.
M B. Apr 9, 2007, 12:12pm EDT
I am just starting to figure this site out. I don't see how most people get a ton of points each day without speding all day on the computer.
Jesse B. Apr 9, 2007, 4:13pm EDT
It is tough when you first start out to get going
Nastacia M. Apr 9, 2007, 6:37pm EDT
I have been a member since September and still don't have 1300 points!!!
Exene T. Apr 9, 2007, 10:10pm EDT
Congrats to you. I'm aiming for 3000 points and so far I only have 16 but it's only my second day here.
Jesse B. Apr 10, 2007, 6:34am EDT
I think I will just keep plugging away and not look at my points for a while.
Jesse B. Apr 10, 2007, 6:37am EDT
Daniela, I'm not sure how points changing works but I will look into it for you
Jesse B. Apr 10, 2007, 6:45am EDT
good luck Exene

It's been slow for me lately, but partly because I've been busy. I tend to read more than write though, and the points seem slower that way
Jesse B. Apr 16, 2007, 9:27am EDT
sometimes I get caught up in just reading as well Robin
Pam T. May 7, 2007, 12:06am EDT
Just keep posting and commenting!
Jesse B. May 7, 2007, 8:58am EDT
Thanks Pam
Yup, the posting and commenting is essential for the earnings on this site. Also, join as many groups as you can find that have interests the same as yours. Or, you can join several of the post ANYTHING groups. The more contacts and groups you are associated with, the more people that see what you post.

Great post! You get a ~10~ from me!
