It is definately a risk based reward, however, do not consider it inappropriately. It is ownly a chance reward, not an exchange for effort. If you are after an exchange of effort, than I suggest finding short things to talk about in blogs. They do not have to be anything extraordinary, simply talk about something, preferably with a picture or illustration and post it to your blog. Then, add it to your websites on CTPX for the next 7 days and Xplore to earn views pushed to other users. In this way, you stand a chance to engage with others for upvotes, comments, and more. Power up any CTP, Leo, HBD or Hive you get and you will see your upvote begin to send you kickbacks, as well as providing kick downs for those you upvote. Just enjoy the journey, contribute with your own posts and upvote or comment on other's efforts. The money will eventually find YOU!
lol. Perhaps a bit of investigating should have been done. You are not a beginner, as I first presumed. No offense. Perhaps the words will encourage another.
