Gather.com - Another Paid Opportunity

I was told about Gather.com by my girlfriend. It seemed like a pretty cool way to earn online so I decided to check it out.

Upon entering Gather’s website, I gotta say, I was pretty impressed! The site is amazingly nice and very user friendly. This is a breath of fresh air because 90% of recommendations I receive are for less-than-appealing, low budget, poorly maintained sites. Gather.com is everything but that!

My first question was, “How do we make money?”

After reviewing the site I came to the conclusion that Gather appears to have the best of all of my favorite site combined. You can earn by publishing articles (poems, blogs, whatever), commenting on threads, uploading images, chatting, etc.

My next question was “How do they pay us?”

In Gather’s FAQ’s section I located the following blurb:

“Gather will make money by displaying advertising to people who use Gather's services. It just seems fair that we share our advertising revenue with you based on the quality and popularity of the content you contribute on Gather. We will also share some of our revenue with you if you choose to use the site actively, exploring content that others write, searching on Gather and on the web, and inviting your friends, family, and colleagues to use the site. We will pay occasional users in points that you will be able to use to purchase goods and services from Gather partners in a few months. We will pay frequent users, who write great content consistently, in cash if they choose.”

With that being said, Gather Points can be cashed out for gift cards, prizes or money.
Every “point” is equivalent to 2 cents. If you hit $50 in accumulated points in a month you can get paid in cash. These payments are made via Pay Pal. (that means you’ll have to hit about 2500 points in a month to get cash).
But how possible is it to hit this cash out mark?


Some pretty cool things about Gather.com is:

1. YOU own YOUR content! This is pretty cool because it gives you the opportunity to publish whatever you’d like. You can take advantage of gather.com by using it as a tool to promote your ventures, whether it’s your company, your website or so on.
2. You get additional points for referring others.
