As to how they get paid - sorry for this lol (and I do mean sorry - ok)- I just have this picture in my mind of an 83 year old woman in the backwoods of the US- but with internet access - who knows of sites which pay say 10x what she pays us - and all she does in the morning is cut and paste what we submit - and then takes her dogs for a walk in the afternoon - and down to the local bar in the evening.

Now - where do I find that dark room I should lie down in?

PMSL! :rotfl:

I'm a noobie to writershare too - have submitted one coment so far, I will see if I get a payment before making any more. I left the coment yesterday (Sunday) when will I know if I have been successful or not?

someone earlier said that they wouldnt have expected any till tues/wed at the earliest - which makes sense as it is a bank hol.

Don't think it's a bank holiday in yank land.

You could be right there!

Who ever they are, they are selling our comments on and making a profit.

i don't quite get all this antagonism towards the fact that they're making money out of us. sure they are, but everyone works dead-end jobs so some fat-cat makes oodles of money and ekes the life and soul out their employees. i mean no-one does anything for free.

I haven't seen any antagonism about it, personally. (I will confess I haven't read the entire thread.)

My comments were pure curiousity. I just can't see how the website profits from our comments. There's no obvious advertising on the site and we aren't providing statistical info (as in the case of paid surveys.) I don't mind people making a profit from others using their site (as Martin himself does on this site), I just like to know how!
