Socialwrite: Testing A New Gather Program (and How You Can Get Involved)
The Socialwrite program is in its test phase and the participating writers are being compensated differently than other Gather members:
- Participants do not earn Gather points. To the extent that they bring new people to Gather and increase our opportunity to earn additional revenue, they increase the points earning opportunity for other members, but they do not draw from the points pool themselves.
- Socialwriters are required to adhere to a program style guide for each post
- During this test, participants are compensated monthly solely on the unique audience each piece of their content generates for Gather
- During this test, participants can earn up to $450 each month
Currently, we are looking for Socialwriters in the following categories:
- Sports
- News
- Politics
- Entertainment
- Food (recipes/holiday content)
If you are interested in applying for the test program, check out Tom's post for all the details.

Good to see you. Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
I have not seen you for a while. How is school this year? Is your MIL adjusting to the living arrangement any better?
You are always welcome. Good to see you. How are you doing today?
I know I have not seen you too much. Are you still job hunting?
It's like being a new member all over again and learning so much about gather. Since I am not a member of any other social network, this upgrade is working for me.
