I've been about a week and a half after hearing some people I knew made $10,000 on their intro posts. I've been sick of facebook for quite a while, but that's where most of the people I know are. I tried Tsu and Minds and Seen.is but just never felt compelled to stay long. I do like the content on here and I already know a few people but in the beginning I had a hard time navigating the site and understanding how to do things. There is still a lot I don't understand about the strategy of powering up or down and all that but I'm learning. It does seem though that someone who is already famous and successful is automatically going to be more successful on here, unless your timing of posting something happens to coincide with a whale being on and giving it a boost. I signed up because I was looking for an alternative to facebook and to be honest, because I also desperately need to raise some money pretty quickly. Unless I'm lucky enough to have the right timing with a whale it doesn't seem likely but we'll see what happens.
