How does a member acquire funds of gift points in Writing.com? The easy way is to purchase a nice pile of gift points from the Writing.Com Shop   But what if you don't have the personal funds to use on the site, or if your country doesn't allow the purchase?

Some ways to procure funds within the site is interaction. Obviously, everyone gets gift points for logging in. That's great! The next way is to review your fellow members. Check out this informational page  , and remember...if you review several members in one day, the rewards multiply. Another way of earning gift points is to drop in twice a week and talk about your "Weekly Goals"  [13+]. This helps you two ways; you track your progress and fill your bank.

Another way is to enter contests. The current site contest is "Journey Through Genres: Official Contest"  [E] and has fantastic prizes. Invest some time writing an entry and see if you can bag some GPs that way. Another way is daily contests, a few minutes spent writing for contests like "The Writer's Cramp"  [13+] or "Daily Flash Fiction Challenge"  [13+] and some cabbage could end up in your pockets.

Editor's Picks


FORUM
The Lodestar Contest  (13+)
Looking for a guiding light. Next round is in May of 2024.
#2130938 by Satuawany

Excerpt: We need guidance out here in these shining waves. This contest is about making an example of yourself—in a good way. Each round of this annual contest will be quite different in its requirements. This will be your only chance, for years, to earn the exclusive "Lodestar" Merit Badge by writing a short story

#2156513 by Not Available.

Excerpt: To explain this contest simply, it is a contest based on traditional poetry forms, with a twist.
It will be run bi-weekly, and will be based on a prompt given by me. I will present a traditional poetry form to be followed, plus a twist relating to that form.

FORUM
WDC Photo Contest  (ASR)
Got your camera handy? Come enter a photo along with a short writing!
#2156360 by Abby Gayle

Excerpt: Entries must consist of one photo, taken with a camera and edited no more than cropping, and a short writing no longer than one hundred words for descriptions, essays, or short stories OR ten lines for poems. Entries which exceed their word/line count will be disqualified if they are not fixed by the end of the week.

Keenest Joker  (18+)
Use your sense of humor and win gift points. Try not to laugh.
#1944443 by Matt 2021 Dean

Excerpt: Create a forum post in this forum, no {b-links}, in three or less sentences. Your writing doesn’t have to be funny. If I do a double take, or go ah-hah, you could still win the Keenest Joker.

The kicker is, you must write a fitting subject title and type it into the subject box of the forum post. Winning the most Keenest Joker is easier than you think. The contestant with the best post and subject title will win the prize each round.
