Coffee Lounge

Kerrie! I am so sorry I am so late in saying my own welcome. It has been a hectic few days. :) Thank you Jyou for stepping in and helping out your awesome!...I would thank the Wolf but hes just doing his job. *Sticks tongue out at Lonewolf while putting my fingers in my ears and wiggling them at him.* Yes, I know I am acting like I am two. Just call it stress relief. Wolfy knows I love him. :)

Another thing Wolfboy (I told you I was in a mood) over there was doing right was telling you the info you needed for your membership. But, what he didn't say, was don't worry about it to much. If your active and do reviews, and add things to your port, post to places like this, someone from one of our charity groups will notice you. I posted three items and did about ten reviews and some wonderful person upgraded me for free. I didn't like the not knowing who it was, but it happened. In fact it happens a lot around here.

Once you have the account the problem becomes keeping it. Again there are some great groups you can go to to ask for help. Then there are plenty of ways to earn it. You can do reviews for members of Inked who have been here a while, for one. Enter the Writers Cramp, is another. Win that, and you have 10,000 gift points right there. I know the 99,000 gift points for one month seems like a lot. But, what you need to remember is that in dollar terms its 1.00 for 10,000 gift points. That's a lot less than even a penny a point. Unfortunatly you have to spend at least 20 dollars I think. It might be ten, as a minimum, I can't remember right off the top of my head.

There are also groups like The Power Reviewers, Showering Acts of Joy, the Elven Tea Garden that pay people for the reviews they do along with the Anniversary Reviews and of course.... INKED.

It's not quite as hard as it can seem. In my house alone we have four accounts including mine. Though my son managed to win a raffle the other day to upgrade his, It's usually me providing the majority of the gift points for the two kids that are here and my husband. I manage to do it. So can you. :)

I must admit though, I am looking forward to the end of Febuary. With the Tax Return, Clanbear is suppose to buy us all a year membership so I can have my gift points to do things like by random people a month of upgraded. :)

I hope you don't find the task to daunting and look forward to seeing you around INKED a lot. Seriously though, scroll up and check out the Vine. Its a great way to pack on gift points. :)
