Welcome to FC!
I feel great about FC and just as happy that you've joined us.
To help you get started:
Go to the Beginner's guide for basic information. (Support section of Forum – top of page)
I limit myself to the Dailys: Click on "Offers" at the top of the FC page and then click on "Dailys"
This section has several Daily surveys (you can COMPLETE one survey from each of the sites in any 24 hour period)
Be sure to clear your cookies and temps before you begin and after you complete the survey.
Being able to complete a survey depends on your demographics, so don't be surprised if you are disqualified (DQ'd) on several surveys before you are able to complete one.
When you get the congradulations page for a survey, keep that page open for 5-10 minutes - or until you receive confirmation that the survey has credited to your account. I usually have my account page open in another tab so I can view it and refresh periodically.
If the survey doesn't credit in 10 minutes, take a screen shot of the page, bring it up on "PAINT", add a few comments so you can identify it, then save it as a jpeg picture (I usually name the picture FCPOCdate, so I can find it easily later.). If you don't receive credit in a day or two, you can send the jpeg picture to Support and hope they will be successful in getting credit for themselves and for you.)
Completing a survey and getting credit for it, gives you the necessary offer you need to get the $5.00 bonus and the bonus credit for your refferer.
Then I do the daily $.15 click, and check for $.01 or .02 viedos ads to watch in the Special Tasks box. If you haven't signed up for the daily paid email, the box to do so is in this section. That will come to your mail box shortly after you sign up. If you don't see it in a day or two, check your spam files.
Then check the Forum section on contests and promotions. The Posting Bonus (need to post 30+ meaningful posts in the forum in a calendar month and request the bonus - click on "have you been paid to post" link at the top of this/any Forum page and read the requirement = $3), the mini contests and POP screenshot for your cashout all generate bonuses that help bring you to 15/25 steadily.
I cash out every 3-4 months, not a lot, but more than adequate for the amount of time I spend.
Hope you are just as or more successful and enjoy the site as much as I do.
