Getting Started with Postloop

GODAMIT RIKI NEEDS TO BE NERFED AHHHH. Sorry just finished a game of Dota 2 if you couldn't tell... Needed to get that out of my system.

Where were we? Ah, Getting Started!.
So now we are all set up with email,paypal etc. we/I can start looking into some ways to make our very first $5!

This first method is a bit... tedious? It is called Postloop. The TL/DR of this website is write forum post -> get dolla. If you are interested in the slightly more technical or details of this method then you will want to stay tuned.

Step #1 - Registration:

Head to the Postloop website and sign up. Once you have filled out all your info, and added your Paypal account as a payment option you will want to start the "Test posting".

Step #2 - Test Posting:

As the little hint will tell you at the top of the Postloop page, you will want to navigate to their own forums. Here you will make 10 test posting into any category within the forum. Please note that it is HIGHLY  advised that you put a lot of effort into spell checking these posts, as they are the standard that you will receive your first ranking for. Another thing that tends to increase your initial writing score is mixing your posting with the occasional starting of a thread. This shows the admins that you will act like a natural part of what ever forum you will work for later on. 

Step #3 - Wait:

Now that you have successful written your first 10 or more test posts you will have to wait, For me it took just over 24 hours to get my account to get approved and to receive a ranking of 4/5 stars.

Step #4 - Finding A Good Forum:

Now that you have been approved, hopefully with a decent rating, you will be able to head over to the forums section and select one that suits your category. If you want to write specifically about gaming then this is your chance, as there is a subcategory dedicated to gaming based forums. Find one that suits your standards and head over to it and make an account. After making the account you will want to go back to the postloop website, and click the subscribe button on the forum listing. Here you will be told any specific rules the owner of the forums wants you to follow, a common rule being not to mention postloop. Enter your details that you used to sign up to that particular forum, You have now been subscribed! How easy was that? Feel free to repeat this step with up to however many forums you find interesting, or want to participate in.

Step #5 - Posting:

Now you will want to go the the forum that you subscribed to in the previous step. First you will always want to personalize your avatar and forum profile a bit to make yourself seem like a natural poster. Trust me this is important in maintaining a good ranking. Then try to dig up a typical "Introduce yourself" thread, and post with a warm hello, and a brief description of yourself, and how you found the community. Be creative. Then just start posting away in other discussions that are happening on the forum, all the while making sure to keep a good post to thread ratio. I like to make around 1 new thread every 7 posts. Again this is to make yourself seem more like a organic visitor to the forum. 

Step #6 - Rinse & Repeat:

From here on out it is all just about scaling your reach to as many forums as you can subscribe to until you hit the 100 point cash-out threshold that you need to withdraw the points to your Paypal account. This might take a while depending on your writing speed and creativity, but it is one of my most reliable sources of online income, as there are almost always forums that want posting. As of now 1 point is worth around $0.07, as you get around 1.5 points per post on average at the moment, you should be expecting around $0.14 per post.

Step #7 - Cashing Out:

This is the best part. Head over to the payment tab under your profile on the Postloop website. Make sure you have your correct Paypal account linked, and continue to the withdrawal tab. Here you can specify any amount of points, with 100 being the minimum, that you would like to cash out. After requesting the cashout it can take up to 24 hours to have it approved and processed. My average time is 5 hours.

Hope you guys/gals enjoyed this very first part of my blogging journey. Feel free to drop me a line with any issues you are having with this method bellow, and I will reply ASAP. 

Note:I will be try to get some screenshots up for each step soon to make this method a bit easier to understand. 

GOOD EARNINGS EVERYONE!
