Make Money Online with Gather.Com

When I found out about this somewhat new social networking site, I knew that I had to spread the word. Imagine if you could get paid just for checking messages, contacting friends, and doing anything else that you can do on any other social networking site. If you weren't addicted before, just wait until you start getting paid.

Gather.com is a site built around the same principles of every other popular social networking site. Gather.com allows users to build profiles, enter information about themselves, post photos, contact other network members, and add other users of the network as friends. Users can also band their interests together to form groups and discussions.

What Gather.com creators have done which sets them apart from their competitors is that they give back a portion of their advertisement profits to the users. Think about it like this. Join any other social networking site and you'll see that every page is slapped with banners and advertisements from third parties. Those site creators have made literally millions of dollars from all of the companies who pay to have their logos appear on your screens, whether you buy their products or not. And what do you get out of it? Well, you get the satisfaction of knowing that someone else is making money off of your network profile. That is where Gather.com changed the rules. Gather.com displays the same advertisements as the big names, but for your loyalty and patronage to their network, Gather.com is willing to take the money paid by advertisers and give users a piece of the pie in the form of Gather Points.

Gather Points are redeemable for gift cards and products from partners like Amazon.com, Target, and Macy's.

The best way to earn Gather Points is to post high quality content to the network and invite new users to join. Gather.com, on their website, states that because their network is so new, it is still too early to give an exact value to every member's actions, but reviewing / posting videos, photos, and other texts are a great way to watch your points grow. The website offers options for users to donate their points to charity, but users are not allowed to donate points to each other.

For members who would prefer their points be turned into cash instead of gift cards, the site does offer the option for a direct payment to Pay Pal accounts once a certain number of points is earned.

So log on, look around, and if you like what you see, sign up!
