How much does Gather.com pay writers? Gather.com pays in gift cards, or PayPal cash credit

eBay Germany To Fire 400 Employees


Since Gather.com is all over Google News right now -- I'm all over seeing how I can get in the mix.


I've joined Gather and just figured out how to upload my profile pic and plan to begin "sharing" articles soon, but in the meantime, I'm trying to "Gather" info about how much Gather actually pays their writers.




Apply to Write for Examiner.com here now...




Thus far, I've only found one person reporting their Gather.com gift card income here.


Gather.com says you can also redeem whatever points you earn by writing for them for PayPal cash -- but I've yet to see how much someone has made doing that.


Indeed Gather.com's redemption page says that you can "Redeem your Gather Points for a $25 PayPal® payment" with 1,565 points getting you that $25 in PayPal payment usually "much sooner" than 21 days after you redeem your points.



But Gather.com doesn't divulge how many pageviews will get you those 1,565 points -- probably because bounce rate and all that other stuff plays into the formula that they don't want people to defraud.


Since I've given up on AOL's Seed.com for the time being (they rejected 3 articles I sent them -- and one was pretty good!) and I'm still writing for Examiner.com, I figured I'd better go and "gather" some Gather info while Google loves them.


If you write for Gather.com, let me know how much money you're making with them. Thanks!

I'll let you guys know how much I end up making with them.

Hi, there are two different programs at Gather. The one you signed up for is for the social networking part. By participating in the network, you earn point that you can redeem for gift cards, PayPal cash, etc.

The writers program you have to apply for, and there are several different departments-news, entertainment, etc. (They're called "Skywriters" now.)If you sign up for the writers' program, you forfeit your points, and ths program pays you for your page views through PayPal, once a month. I wrote for them for about a year. I wasn't making a whole lot of money, but some of the writers made a really good income, from what I could "Gather." Good luck.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

Digg.com's Autobury Secret Blacklist...Are you still being banned by automatic burying?

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
