The web "has become" a very social place. Most of us are involved in some type of social network whether it's Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. Folks would have you believe this phenomenon is new. But it's been around from the very start. Before there was an official "social network" label a lot of us where socializing on things called message boards, forums and later blogs (said in my sarcastic voice).
Fortunately these mediums haven't gone away. They're still very active but don't get all the hype of Facebook or Twitter. In any event have you ever thought about how much time you spend on places like Facebook, your favorite blog or forum? You probably don't because you're there for fun or gaining some useful information.
Now imagine if you could get paid for all the socializing you do online? Think about the countless hours you spend babbling about American Idol, politics, sports, etc. I've seen the status updates of some my various friends and followers and some of y'all are on FB all day long babbling about nothing! Don't worry I'm guilty of it too. lol Well today I want you to get paid for all that time you spend online socializing. If you're interested then you may want to check out PostLoop.com
What is PostLoop.com?
Post Loop is basically a website that brings Forum Owners (Blog Owners too) and website users together. When you initially start a forum it's hard to get it going because most people won't really hang out in a dead forum or blog that doesn't have a lot of activity. It's like going to a night club (aka Disco for your older folks. lol) and when you walk in there's no one in there. Chances are, your ass is walking right back out. The same applies for forums and sometimes blogs. They need help to get the party going.
So Forum owners hire a company like PostLoop.com to get them users like us to participate on their forum. In turn PostLoop pays you to participate on forums or for commenting on blogs.
How much money do you make?
PostLoop uses these point system sort of like MySurvey. Points are basically equivalent to cash so don't let that turn you off. At the time this review was written, on average forum posters can expect to receive about $0.08 per post (comment or new thread started) that they make on Postloop forums. The exact amount that you earn per post can vary depending on a number of factors. So it can be less or more than the average previously mentioned. It was closer to $.05 per post for me. The great news is there is no limit to the amount of money that you can earn at Postloop.
Provided you can supply useful posts, threads or comments that give value to the topic at hand, you can make as much money as you want participating on various forums. So those few cents add up very quickly during the course of a day. Some forums do have limits of how many times you can participate per day. But if you pick numerous forums to join, you'll still be able to make some decent money as a whole.
I only really participate on 3 forums. The days I'm actually pretty active I have earned over $1 in a day. Keep in mind that's probably spending only 20-30 minutes at most on all 3 forums within a given day. I would obviously make a lot more if I spent more time there and selected more forums to work. But I have this website and other money generating activities that require more of my attention. I've read that some people are making $100 per day with this. I guess it is feasible if you're doing this and nothing else all day. However I think most people can realistically expect to earn a couple of bucks per day with this.
Now let me take a moment to address the Negative Nancy out there that is already doing the calculations and raising the red flag. No this opportunity isn't really meant as replacement income. It should be viewed as extra or supplemental income that can be coupled with similar opportunities like it or with a traditional work at home job. For some people the math and time required to make money with PostLoop may not add up for their circumstances. That's fine, I'm not knocking you. You're better off focusing on a traditional work at home job which list daily here.
But for others who are happy bringing in some extra money doing something you probably already do for free anyway, this may be a great option for you. Different strokes for different folks, so let's not rain on anyone else's parade. (You know who you are. lol)
How do I get my money?
They pay via Paypal and the payout time is very quick. You can usually have your money in a couple of hours or 1 day at most. Like most supplemental non-traditional work at home opportunities there is a minimum amount of cash you must have to withdraw. In this case it's only $5 (this may change by the time you read this review). This equates to around 80 to 100 posts a day. That may sound like a lot but it's not when you're yammering on about topics you have a passion for. Trust me, this "work" goes by a lot faster for that sole reason.
How do I make more money?
– First and foremost just provide a lot of value and feedback in your posts. This is when being verbose is a good thing. Use your spell check. Most browsers have this built in. Don't write like this is a text message or twitter. Write full sentences with proper grammar. If your grammar sucks like mine, keep the sentences short. But use many of them. I find I make less grammatical mistakes that way. I find that 3-4 sentences is pretty good for most of the forums.
– Like most of my favorite supplemental income opportunities PostLoop has a referral program that gives you 20% of whatever your referrals earn! This is great if you can get others to join who are ACTIVE!
– Other ways you can make more money is by selecting forums that have a lot of points to distribute. The more they have the more you can earn.
– You can also earn more points and thus money for spreading your posts out in a forum over time, and fewer points if you make a lot of posts in a forum all at once! So don't try to knock everything out in one sitting. Come back a few times during the day to make your posts.
– You will receive bonus points for a high User Rating! Remember that depending on your rating you get additional bonus points per post. So it's always in your best interest to have high quality comments and posts consistently over time. If you do you can make a lot more money.
– Some forums have stars near them. That signifies that they give additional bonus points per post. So be on the look out for that because you'll earn more money on your efforts in those forums.
– Join as many forums as you can and can provide value too. Sometimes a forum may not seem like a good fit. But you never know until you actually visit the forum. A lot of times they have off the topic sections which are basically areas of forum where you can talk about damn near anything. So don't rule out forums at first glance because you don't think you'll be able to provide value. Always check them out first.
– Some forums will pay you more for starting topics or threads rather than responding to them. So what I do is look at articles online related to a given forum. Or I take ideas from other forums or blogs I read and put my own spin on them. I even get idea from Facebook sometimes. So be sure to do this since it will usually make you more money at post loop.
How do you join?
Visit the following page: https://www.postloop.com/invite/workathomenoscams and fill out the information. It's totally free to join and takes a few minutes to sign up.
Next, check your email and confirm your email address.
Once you've done that it time for your probation period. Read the next section for more on that.
What's Next?
So joining is the easy part. Now you're probably ready to jump in and make that money. Slow down there speedy there is another step involved after signing up.
I'll be honest this is what almost turned me off or confused me out of this opportunity. Fortunately I fought through it because I kept reading that everyone was making easy money with it. So don't let this section intimidate you. Once you get passed this, it is really easy money!
Before you can actually start selecting forums to get paid for participating in, you must prove to PostLoop that you'll actually provide value to the discussions being had at these forums. So how do they do this? Well they require that you sign up for a "test" forum called the PostLoop Portal. Consider this sort of like a probation period you go through at a new job.
The reason you have to go through this should be obvious. It's to weed out those of you who will suck at this. Don't take it personal! But let's face it, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Since you're being paid to participate on forums, some shady people may abuse the system by entering half ass comments or use software to make garbage unrelated posts to a forum. This would be bad for PostLoop.com and their users. Website owners would stop paying PostLoop because of the poor quality of the posts and we all lose. So to ensure this doesn't happen. They have a simple 3 step process that every new user must go through before even being able to select other paid forums.
1. Every new PostLoop forum posters (or content writers as they like to call them.) is required to sign up for PostLoop's internal testing forum called the Postloop Portal. (It's free so don't worry)
2. Then they must subscribe to that forum so PostLoop can track their activity.
3. And finally you must submit 10 quality posts or comments within the Postloop Portal. (This could be more or less depending on when you read this review.)
PostLoop will review your posts and give you a rating. 5 is the highest. The higher your rating, the better! They sort of rate you like a teacher that might grade a class on a curve. If most people are getting 4s and if you get less than that, you've failed in PostLoop's eyes. Your rating must be as high as everyone else to get in. If you're rated lower than everyone else, then that's pretty much the end of the story for you. There isn't an appeal process and you can't try again. My nephew learned this the hard way. (Sigh)
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Making the 10 posts is a lot easier than it may sound. Here's why, the PostLoop Portal has many types of topics which range from Music, Movies, Television, Video Games, Computers, Internet, Cell Phones, Tables, Wed Development, Cars, Sports, Business Politics and an everything else section. So finding something of interest to yap about should be super easy. I knocked my 10 posts out within 30 minutes or an 1 hour. But you can spread it out if you want.
Tips To Get You In!
The key to success with this opportunity as a whole is to write useful comments that ADD VALUE to the conversation. This is where being a babbler like myself works great. If you're only going to write 1 quick sentence as a response or comment like: "I agree with you." or "That's so true!". This opportunity isn't for you. Basic grammar and spelling are a must as well. We all know my grammar isn't the best but I still managed to get in. So if you can handle these simple tips you should be able to get a good enough rating from the PostLoop staff. In which case they'll allow you to get paid for participating in the other great forums they have!
The great thing about the initial 10 test posts you do, is that you get paid for them assuming you get a high enough rating to qualify to work at Postloop. Once you've passed probation you're free to start posting in other forums.
Want To See How This Works?
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Unfortunately I've already suprassed that word count and you might still not full understand this whole thing. So I've taken the time to create a video that basically walks you everything I wrote above. Enjoy!
Hopefully the video makes everything crystal clear and you're ready to join PostLoop.com and make this easy money. But before you do let's talk about some of the minor negatives I see with the opportunity.
Cons
So although I love this opportunity and have been paid by them for posting in their forums, I do have some complaints. Every company has flaws. It doesn't make a company bad or scam if they do. But it's important that you're aware of them so you can make an informed decision. So let's dig in.
1. There will be some folks that will do calculations and say that this opportunity isn't worth the time or below minimum wage or whatever other beef they have with the money. That's just a reality of the situation. For some of you, given your circumstances this may not be worth your effort. In which case you should focus on a traditional work at home job or something else that is. I personally make a lot of money with affiliate marketing but I still carve out time for this opportunity because it's fun and easy money that I can use for gas, movies, etc. I already spend a lot of time on FB or email chatting about nonsense with my friends. So making money for doing so on a forum just makes "cents" to me. But to each their own.
2. No other payment options. If you don't have a paypal account or can't get one, You're out of the running for this opportunity. There are no checks, debit card, direct deposit or payment options outside of paypal. This will obviously annoy some folks.
3. This is considered an international opportunity because anyone with a paypal account across the globe can join. However you must be able to read and write English well (meaning proper grammar and spelling). Otherwise you can't earn money with this opportunity. Obviously some folks will be at a disadvantage because of this.
4. Intimidating qualification process. Honestly when I first read about the requirement of 10 posts within their test forum, I was a little taken back. I also really didn't understand it until I actually joined the site. When I got in and wanted to start I was faced with this huge wall of text instructions which was very intimidating. But one I read them, it was actually very easy. However I think they would do well to have an introduction video that walks you through what you need to do next after you sign up. I think that would be a lot less intimidating than the wall of text. Sadly people aren't readers any more. They skim and miss out on a lot of important information. So that has to be kept in mind. A video would address a lot of this. As it is I have tons of referrals but most are "dead beats" meaning they aren't active. I think it's because they don't understand what to do. So a welcome video would go a long way after one signs up. The wall of text can stay but I would add a video too.
5. Sites are disabled randomly. So once you start subscribing and posting to your favorite forums, you may get an occasional message from PostLoop that the forum has been disabled which means you're no longer able to get paid on that particular one. This can be because they ran out of money to pay forum posters or another reason. I've had some of my favorite forums disabled and then come back a day later or not at all. You have to be mindful of this because you can't just depend on your favorite forum for the long term because they may be gone form the post loop system. So you should always be on the look out for new forums that come out. This way if one of your big ones disappears you can still replace it with another new one.
6. Rating fluctuate and expire. The higher your rating the more you get paid. Ratings are based on what the admin for a forum gives you. When I first joined and did my test posts at the Postloop Portal I was rated a 4.8 which is damn near perfect. This meant I was making an additional .75 points per post which obviously meant more money per post for me. I continued to add value and post when I could on other forums. I felt my quality on other forums were still very good. But recently I was rated 4.40 by another admin. That's still good but not as good as the 4.8 I originally had. So you have to try maintain a high level of quality consistently from week to week because it's not averaged from your past activities. You're only as good as your recent activity.
So is PostLoop Legitimate?
Yes, It's definitely the real deal and something I recommend you join! It's an easy way to make money once you get past the probation forum post stuff. And I can see folks with a lot of free time and decent command of the english language making some great money with this.
So let me know your thoughts on this opportunity. I have a funny feeling this will be a winner to a lot of folks. If by chance you don't feel this is the right type of opportunity for you. Be sure to check out our work at home jobs page which may have more traditional jobs you may enjoy. Thanks for reading either way!

The site is back. it is basically the same, though payout is much slower. They also merged the Portal and Support forums.
Thanks for the update. May have to revisit this.
PL is closing down November 1st.
Damn, that sucks. Thanks for the heads up!
The number of forums available on Postloop is way down now. As in like a third of the amount a year or so ago. Overall, the service appears to be dying pretty rapidly.
That’s sad to hear. Thanks for the update.
Hi Eddy,
Thank you for the info regarding this site. I completed my 10 (I actually did 11) posts last night and am excited to be accepted to join other forums. After having just been laid-of IveTriedThat.com f from my HR job, I really do appreciate all the help you give to so many of us, trying to find a way to survive, and from home too!! Thank you again, Eddy for all you do!
Hey Diana,
I’m sorry to hear you were laid off. Hopefully this opportunity and all the other ones I cover will help you get back on track. It all adds up when it comes to these online opportunities. Be sure to check out my courses here as well. They may prove helpful to you.
Nice write up. FWIW, there is a new site like PL that lets you cash out whenever you want instead of at 100 points/$5. It is: http://theforumwheel.com/
Thanks Ervil,
I’ll check it out.
PostLoop is fine if want to make peanuts per hour. For a site owner, though, it is a complete and utter waste of time and money. The success rate of forums that used the service is paltry. It is something in the single digits for forums that survived versus hundreds that went down the tubes the second they stopped paying for points. Head over to their “Testimonials & Success Stories” section of their support forum. A whooping two of them are from forum owners. Of those two, one is dead, and the other alleges it work, but they don’t have their URL set. The remaining testimonials are from writers. Many forum owners have dumped hundreds and or thousands of dollars into PostLoop content, but saw no return on that investment. The reasons are pretty clear:
– Forums are a mature, even hyper saturated market. Garbage posts, in and of themselves, aren’t going to lure in real members. Which brings us to our next point.
– The site owner is buying dump truck load of crap content. For every good or great PostLoop writer, there is a legion of authors that are pretty much worthless. Some have very limited (occasionally unintentionally funny) English skills, others are young people with no real life experience, there is sprinkling of washed up older writers, and armies who just grind out the minimum to mash the “post” button. It is hardly surprising as we’re talking about folks willing to work for around 6-10 cents a post.
– It is only a matter of time before some PostLoop member will say why they are posting. Regular members know they are talking to paid posters and they jump ship. All that work put into the forum only to see it circle the drain due to one slip.
– The forum profiles, the canned postings, and obvious forced enthusiasm comes across as fake. Anyone who is not completely new to forums and isn’t a moron can tell after spending some time there.
– When your points are gone so is anyone from PostLoop. And regular posters are going to notice real fast that a huge percentage of “members” all suddenly stopped posting.
From the writers side of the equation, if you want to make a few bucks from the comfort of your home, I suppose it makes sense, but it is time that could be spent earning a lot more elsewhere. If your a site owner, seriously, don’t bother. You’re just whizzing money down the drain.
Woa Alphonse you mind telling us your honest opinion? Lol
I’m just kidding. You make some very valid points in your comment/article? 😉
That said for the purpose of earning some extra money it definitely works. I don’t judge what people’s time is worth because we all have different needs and cost of living. So what one person deems as a waste of time, another person may view it as totally worth their effort.
So that’s totally subjective. But aside from that I can totally understand your gripes with the way the system is set up. Great points to consider from the website owner point of view.
Sorry to go on such a tangent there. You are correct, as a money making method online it does indeed work. If the effort is worth it is naturally up to the person doing the work. It just concerns me that so many forum owners are not aware of how seriously this tool does not work for their site of the equation. But, I leave it at that.
Nice write up, by the way. I know some new people to Postloop have trouble getting started. 🙂
No worries Alphonse.
I could tell you really felt strongly about the website owner side of the business and I can totally appreciate that. Like I said you made some great points. I’m glad you liked the write up. Either way you’ve given people something to think about from the website owner perspective. Thanks again for chiming in!
Eddy normally your suggestions are great and I am your referral on many
different sites. After this recommendation that is going to change. I am
going to cashout on each of those sites I don’t have current earning
referrals on and create a new account no longer under you.
Postloop itself is not a scam but some of the forum owners are. I got
rated 1 for posting on old topics at least that is what the comments
said. Nothing on any of the sites I joined said to not post on old
topics.
I both reply to and create new threads on every forum so
that reason is ludicrous. I was paid but there is a huge disadvantage to
posters since you can not see which site the rating came from. So I
can’t unsubscribe from the owners site since it was Anonymous.
The
site owner is extremely unprofessional and not helpful at all but does
pay. So be careful when joining this site, it is not a scam but some of
the site owners are scammers. So you may end up getting scammed without
the site owner ever intending it. You should be warning people about the
cons as well as the pros especially the fact Postloop can give you a 5
for your first 10 posts and then a random owner can give you a 1.
That
then brings your average down to 3 which means you can no longer get
paid – that in my book may not be a scam but it is damn sure close.
Started with a 4 rating and then a random owner gave me the 1 I
mentioned before now I can not cash out even though before I got that
rating I had enough to. Clearly if I started with a 4 I can not be all
that bad of a poster (this comment could be proof as well).
So
now how do I get those earnings do I wait 30 days and how I can cash
out? Do I take it as a massive loss of time? Hopefully your next
recommendation can restore my faith in your posts. ICS, Paidviewpoint,
instaGC, and many others you will be losing me unless you restore my
faith. This is extremely disheartening too since I had created a
referral landing page with a complete click by click walk through for
people I was planning on promoting. No point in doing that if I can’t even cash out.
Hey,
I’m sorry to hear you had a poor experience with some of the site owners. As you said many times in your own comment, it doesn’t make postloop.com a scam, it just means some of the site owners are questionable.
I agree they should have a rating system for the commenters to rate the site owners. That said there are other site owners to choose from.
At the end of the day, I shared my experience and it was a positive one. I never guarantee that everyone that tries my recommendations will like them and experience everything I do. I’ve been paid out several times by postloop so I know it works. I’m not always going to be privy to every negative thing about a given opportunity or site. I only mention what I’ve personally experienced or discovered in my research.
I leave it up to the rest of you to share your own experiences. At the end of the day we’re all adults and have to make our own decisions. I think anyone that has read my blog long enough knows I go out of my way to give more information in terms of pros and cons than other sites that provide reviews.
But I’m not infallible and you’re getting all my hard work for free. It’s not always going to work positively for everyone and that’s pretty much how life works. I can go to McDonald’s tomorrow and have a crappy experience. But you can go there and have a great one. There are a number factors that can lead to the different experiences.
In this case, if you happen to be working with a shady site owner, then you can have a negative experience.
In any event, I appreciate you sharing your experience. But if you now doubt me because of this one poor experience that doesn’t even have to do with the site itself, then you gotta do what you gotta do.
Fortunately most people will continue to read and act on my recommendations and adjust accordingly for any opportunity that may not work for them.
By the way, I recently reviewed another opportunity like postloop but doesn’t have the con of the site owner issue you just mentioned. Feel free to read it here: https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2014/02/04/is-chatabout-com-legit-or-a-scam/
But just understand I didn’t anticipate every con that may be part of this site. You may run into issues I didn’t anticipate. So if you feel you can’t deal with that then don’t read that review or any of my other ones. However if you understand that sometimes things aren’t going to be perfect and you may run into some issues, then give that a shot.
I wish you the best either way and good luck to you.
Eddy
Thanks for getting back to me Eddy! You are right I can’t hold you responsible it is just annoying that a single site owner has made it so I now can not get paid even though I already have. Choosing a different site owner would be a good option if I knew which one it was. THey rate anonymously and I signed up for about 10 different sites. So there is no way for me to know which one to avoid unless I avoid all of the current owners I was using. I will check out that new post now and will give it a try hopefully the pay rate is similar without the questionable business practices.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you realize that I can’t control or anticipate everything with these opportunities.
There are plenty of fish in the sea. If one doesn’t work out for you, just move on to another. Fortunately I find and review many of them.
Good luck to you.
Eddy
I signed up for Chatabout under you and will be trying it out, how long did it take you to receive your first cash out after requesting it? I usually wait until after they prove they will pay before continuing to use a site.
Hi, Read the review. i go into details about this. Watch the video too. You’ll have to do some of your own foot work with any of the companies I provide.
I can only do so much.
I actually did read it and watch your video before signing up. The only thing you don’t answer in the article is how long it took you to receive the payment after cashing out. Already made 20 points with a few comments and bonuses.
Like I said, do some digging on the site. You can always email them directly. This article isn’t about chatabout so we don’t need to keep discussing it here.
I’ve given you enough to go with. So now do some of your own leg work. Good luck to you.
LC,
Thanks for sharing your experience. You’re on the right path my friend. The endless hours of not seeing a big profit are part of the process. My wife can tesify to how many hours I have spent in the past getting to where I am. I still spend a lot of hours where nothing comes of it. But I’ve discovered that even if I don’t get the financial results I expected, I’m always learning something new that I take on to my next effort. So you are always getting something out of your failures and roadblocks. Where most people give up, you push forward. I promise you that if you keep doing this and making adjustments along the way you’ll find the light of the end of the tunnel.
The fact you’re open to little opportunities like this means you already have the proper mindset. Just keep in mind I started by earning a few cents here and there reading emails. Everyone else thought that was a big joke but it showed me there is potential in this online stuff. I just need to learn how to compound those few cents into dollars. Obviously with a lot of hard work, training and a lot of favor from God I was able to get where I am.
So it is possible. It’s just not as easy as these scammy people will have you believe and try to sell you.
But it can happen my friend. Start small and keep working your way up!
I really like the article,I hadn’t heard of this particular company until I stumbled across your site. I am always searching or resources since online seems to be a better way for me to make income. I shold write about my experiences. I’ll share a little here.
I have a website I am working on,it’s actually been in existence since 2007. However,I am getting it ready with products from a business/membership I own and I also do affiliate marketing.Somethings gotta give…right! It has been a long journey for me. I have yet to find good income. I would like to make a great income without the regular 9-5. I can’t do the traditional in my circumstances.
I read stories just like yours except something about you seems honest.You seem to have mastered the make money online game.What I wouldn’t give to be in your shoes. I’ve worked hard towards making a living at home. Staying up late trying to work on the site(dark circles prove it…lol),researching companies and various marketing efforts. Some would say all that for nothing. In fact I had given up for a while. Disappointed in the scams and the pushy sales to friends and family companies. Even the survey sites that want you to complete offers….it seemed as if nothing was working. It’s been my determination to succeed doing online work.
Of course I don’t expect Postloop to pay mortgage,I know that sometimes you hustle here and there to make ends meet.
Sorry but you were rejected for a reason. You’re asking us to cheat for you. Focus on another opportunity that is better suited to your skill set.
I’d love to be registered but is not passed by the owner if you could write for me 10postów and put links where I paste them?
Hi Roshanta,
I thought I was grinding and busy but you put me to shame! Great job on juggling all this stuff! Although I’m a huge proponent of multiple streams of income, I also encourage folks to eventually whittle down to a few opportunities that pay you the most for your time. Initially you want to try as many things as possible to determine what you like and eventually what pays the most. The dabbling shouldn’t be forever.
That’s what I did. I still try everything but ultimately they all pretty much tie into my main source of income which is referrals aka affiliate marketing. So my dabbling aligns with my higher source of income.
I continued to work my full time job until my website income superseded my corporate income and did so consistently for at least a year or so. Furthermore I had saved up at least 6-8 months of income that would cover my major household expenses. I also tested the job market by throwing my resume out there to see how many people would bite. So I took a lot of precautions before making the plunge into doing this full time.
In terms of the time management, I did a lot of my work in the evenings. I also had a job where what I did on my site also benefited them. So I was able to work on my site while working on my job because anything I learned with my site I shared with the job. So that helped as well.
In your situation it’s very difficult. I didn’t have school to contend with. I just had my job and my wife. Eventually I had my girl and that made things difficult for a while. But eventually as she got older I was able to get back on my grind. Ultimately you have to dictate your time. Anyone that has become successful will tell you they sacrificed a lot, mostly time. And that’s pretty much what you’ll have to do. Something will have to give. But you have to decide what to make your dreams come true.
I’m also not big on deadlines for dreams. I was at this for years before I finally escaped the Man. If I would have given myself some deadline I would have given up too soon. So I’m totally against deadline for dreams. I know a lot of folks feel differently. But I’m just speaking from my personal experience.
I hope this helps. Feel free to email me using the contact me link on the left of the page to discuss further. I like to keep the comments on topic when possible and I’ve definitely strayed from that here. lol
Well congrats on getting in! Yes they definitely want to see natural activity which would include starting your own threads in addition to responding to them.
You should also post over time during the course of a day. They seem to frown upon trying to knock out your post limit within a few minutes or hour. So that’s another thing that may affect your score. Either way, welcome aboard!
You have some really great information on your site. I just signed up for PostLoop using your link, and am awaiting approval. I currently work about 30-35 hours per week, go to school online full time to earn my associates in Paralegal, and run a small online Writing & Editing business. My hopes are to be able to work from home full time by the end of the year. After stumbling upon your site via a Google search, I see that like you, I dabble in many areas, combining income earned from each, rather than relying one single venue to earn cash. In addition to my online business, I sell e-books (Mainly research papers, essays, and articles) on Kindle, transcribe for Quicktate, occasionally visit Varolo, Beezag, CashCrate, and FusioinCash and am a faithful user of mTurk. I am constantly looking for new venues to supplement my earnings, and hope to find a way to successfully master this crazy world of online earning. Now that I have found your site, I’m going to spend some time exploring the information you have provided. You are so down to earth and up front, I absolutely love your approach. I do have one question though. When transitioning from a regular job to working at home, how did you organize your time to successfully invest enough time in each venue? Right now, I have nights where I don’t even go to sleep because I’m doing so much. I can’t cut back on my work hours, until I’ve seen enough proof that the income I’m earning is stable. Do you have any suggestions? My apologies if you have this posted elsewhere in your site. If this is the case, I would love if you could even point me to the article or discussion. Thanks so much, and keep up the posts. The information you provide is very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Hey Eddy!
I just found out that you reviewed PostLoop AFTER I had signed up, otherwise I would have used your referral link. I just got my 10 posts down and it’s under review. So by this time tomorrow I should know if I’m accepted or not. I’m sure I’ll be accepted, since I’m awesome 🙂 But I will let you know how it goes for me as I do plan on making money with this. I post things all the time, so why not get paid for it eh?
No worries Jay. It happens sometimes. Either way I’m glad you have taken action on this opportunity. Hopefully your posts are accepted and you can take full advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Keep me posted either way.
Funny thing, just as I got done reading your reply to me, my cell gave me a notification of a new email. Went and checked it, I’m approved!! But whoever rated me, gave me a 3.8 with good criticism about starting new threads, which I didn’t really think I had to do. So I’m telling everyone to start at least one, maybe two new threads to get a better rating. Although I’m sure I can bring my rating up and right now, the level to get past is a 4.01, which should be easy to do with a few posts and NEW threads started 😛
This has been added in recent weeks. I know companies do collect information for tax purposes as we’ve described here:
https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2010/04/15/weekly-work-at-home-recap-04-16-2010/ so that’s normal. Usually after they send you the tax information, that’s where you are provided the company’s contact information.
I don’t think they’re hiding anything. They have a long history of paying so there is no real reason to be shady. But feel free to email them to voice your concern.
In order to remain compliant with the great tax law of The United
States, Postloop must now acquire your Name, Address, and Phone number
before you are able to request a withdrawal. You’ll be prompted for this
information when you request your next withdrawal. You are only
required to enter this information once and can change it at any time if
necessary.
Is this something that is normal? They will have your paypal, your address, your phone number but then they do not state their address or anything on their site. Are they hiding something?
“That’s still good but not as good as the 4.8 I originally had. So you have to try maintain a high level of quality consistently from week to week because it’s not averaged from your past activities. You’re only as good as your recent activity. ”
This must have changed recently because I joined 2 days ago, went through the process and was initially rated at 4.2 (.25 extra points). Then I had another review that was a 4.8, but my rating only went up to 4.5. So they must be averaging this now.
BTW I hope you are enjoying your 20 percent 🙂 from referring me, I talked my husband into joining through my link and he LOVES posting on forums so I’ve already made money off of him. That’s what husbands are for right?? 😛
Hey Ron,
It’s always good to hear awesome and my site in the same sentence! lol So thanks for that compliment.
I love people like you. Here’s why. You can see the value and effort I put into the information provided and you want me to be compensated for it. So thank you for inquiring if I get credit.
As many of you know I make a living by referring companies like postloop to you. So when you do use a link in my given article or site, I usually get credit. So that’s all you have to do. Always use a link in my article for any program of interest to you and I’ll usually get credit.
So thanks again. You have a great attitude. You really understand how to succeed in this industry and you summed it up with this sentence: ” along with continued learning and a can do attitude a work from home income is very possible.”
Amen to that because it’s true!
Hi Eddy, As a subscriber to your awsome website, I look forward to making Postloop a source of work from home income. My main concern is that when I sign up you will receive your more than deserved referal (love). I will wait to hear from you before I sign up. Thanks for all the information you provide on your websites. With your words of encouragement and a slight bit of humor you help someone like myself with very little computer and internet knowledge, feel that along with continued learning and a can do attitude a work from home income is very possible. Your time and efforts are appreciated. Thanks again.
Hi Eddy. I joined Postloop a few weeks ago but – as you said in your article, got a bit confused about the 10 posts bit but you’ve explained it perfectly, so thanks for that. I agree that a video (like yours) would help tremendously. I do have a problem though. I have managed to log in but the username bit where I sign in for the 10 posts..well, it doesn’t register and I’m sure I used the same username. There are only 2 others it can be, tried them and they don’t work either. I’ve sent them a message but I’ve not received a reply and also checked my Spam folders, just in case. Nothing there either. I do live in the UK but emails are instant wherever you live so I don’t think it’s that. Have you ever had to contact them? How quick are they at responding?
I’m dying to get started because, as you can see, I waffle like you do (but in a nice way) lol.:-)
Hey Jane,
I’m glad you found value in the video. I knew some folks would.
In terms of your login issue, you might want to contact support here: http://www.postloop.com/contact
Ryan tends to be very fast. I’ll forward your comment to him as well and see if that helps.
Thanks for chiming in.
