It's all about who you know, you make a few whale friends and you are going to make some money every post, I have one year here, unfortunately, even though I do post a lot, I mostly comment when I don't agree with an article so I think that doesn't get me many friends, I have had a couple of whales (I think voting randomly) up vote a few of my posts and have had them go up to 20 or 30 dollars but mostly I get about 1 dollar per post.
