Each credit is worth $0.05 so the minimum pay is $0.05 per post. The maximum pay is 2.5 credits per post which translates to $0.13.

  • Do I earn credits every time I post?
    Yes. However if the site is inactive or you have exceeded your daily limit then you will not earn credits for posting there.

    No. You can cash in your credits for money at any time.

  • What happens if I get banned from one of my subscriptions?
    Forum owners have the option of banning certain subscribers that produce low quality content for their site. If you get banned from a particular site then your subscription will be removed and you will no longer earn credits for posting there. If you feel that this ban was unjust then you are free to discuss it with the forum admin and perhaps negotiate your return under certain circumstances.
