Thanks for checking out my blog. I post here when something is on my mind or think I have information that is useful to share. I encourage others to post here and ask questions. If I don't know the answer I will help you find it.
I love trading here and have met so many wonderful people. Some days I forget about trading because I'm having too much fun chatting with other members and friends.
I also enjoy having the opportunity to help many new members find their way and get a solid start here. It is exciting to see people go from their first trade and become an experienced trader who is able to go on and help others.
This should be a safe place for all of us to have fun and make money, but be sure you are dealing with someone you can trust. Check out someone's trade rating, feedback, and posts. Also keep an eye on the lunch theft forum and be on the look out for those to steer clear of.
I am online every day throughout the day, so keep an eye out for me!
Happy trading all!

It pays to READ!!
It pays to READ!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems when some new members pm for help and they are asked if they have read tutorials, etc. they quickly disappear and do not respond further. I have often wondered why this was and the only thing I could come up with was that people had not read and wanted to just jump in.
It does not pay to try to take short cuts here.
For instance:
Didn't read the Forum Rules:
You run the risk of posting WHERE you shouldn't or posting WHAT you shouldn't and may be banned temporarily.
Didn't read about how to set up your browser before doing offers:
You will spend money and will have a difficult time getting credit.
Didn't investigate a potential trading partner:
You may find yourself dealing with a scammer, someone ill prepared to answer your questions, or someone who does not log into the site often.
Didn't read site payouts before agreeing to green for green or paying trade:
All "one credit" sites were not created equal. They can range from a $20 payout to a v-bux "1 credit" site that pays out $125. Be sure you take the time to see if your trade is fair.
This is a must read in my opinion: WHAT YOU SHOULD BE PAID FOR YOUR REFERRAL. Just because someone says they are the highest paying or paying 90% doesnt mean they are... check this thread out first. You may just be seeing some shady sales tactics.
Didn't read the terms and conditions of offers you are completing:
You may end up with hidden charges or other "piggyback" offers you were not expecting.
That being said, I have been fortunate to work with some great new traders as well who have taken their time and done their homework. But for the others who are anxious and don't think its necessary to read, it can be an expensive mistake.
Remember also, things change here all of the time. So just when you think you have read everything... read some more you will learn something new as the site is constantly changing and improving.
Happy trading!

I hope this proves that I have been reading LOL. I've been reading stuff over and over. I keep saying I just started but really all I've been doing is browsing the site, taking stuff in. I don't want to move to fast in fear of getting scammed. So I'm glad I've been reading these blog. They really do help. Thank you.

Its worth it to read until you feel comfortable. Then find someone who seems trustworthy and knowledgable to help you make sense of all you have read.
If anyone contacts you first via private message, instant message, email etc. please report it. Those people are generally scammers and at the very least breaking forum rules. Welcome to you and I look forward to seeing you around the forum. ~Lori |

Great blog Lori. It is so true that people are in such a rush to make money they dive in head first. Test the waters a bit by reading around the forum. There is so much information. Lots of fun to be had also. Thanks again.

Don't forget to put your glasses on, you don't want to be blind and trying to cross the road! All good advice. How much can you trust the rating system next to the members?
