$3.00 paid to post Questions and Answers

[octaviadavis]

Hey guys, I was searching around and can't really find any topics or discussions about this paid to post thing, I mean I found the link to do it but I guess I just didn't look hard or long enough to find it, so I just decided to make this post for any questions you guys Including myself have about it.

My first question about this is when I tried to get the $3.00 by adding the member id#s of the posts I did, an error popped up saying I didn't get the amount needed, that I would need to or have at least 30 posts to get the $3.00. Well the thing is there's only 3 sections to add the Id#s, so what I'm asking is do these 3 Id#s have to be new topics you make that each has to have at least 30 posts in them, or does it just have to have enough in each one to add up to the 30 posts?

After you posted at least 30 times --- then you submit the request and select the 3 posts that you like best and enter their ID's.  (You enter the ID of the post, not your user ID.)  The posts you select may be replies on a thread or the post you made for a new thread.

I usually wait until the 2nd to the last day of each month -- and I usually have 40-50 posts to select my 3 "best" posts.  It's safer to have more than 30 just in case some of the posts are deemed not meaningful.  (Posts made to the Contest and Promotion section do not count -- figure you are already getting a bonus for them).

In addition, whether you submit your request on the 5th, 15 or 27th of a month, the bonus will be credited on or about the 31st of the month following the month you made the request.

Pretty much explains the gist of it. Just be sure that what you said have content in it. I was denied a month, and that scared me away for sometime.

Remember that you have to have at least 30 in one calendar month, so you have to look at the dates on your posts to make sure you have 30 in one month. Plus it only shows that you have 5 posts total. You can't even submit for the $3 bonus until you have your 30 posts in the month.
