Re: Did you know? Posting about items-ads equals money!

Interesting.  I've wondered myself.

I wish HSN would pay me when I like their items. Especially Korres I have a mountain of it.

No, that's not the reason for that particular action. But it did make me feel younger, as if I was back in elementary school.

 

I have never made one red cent off posts here, in case anyone was speculating.

@Greeneyedlady21@lolakimono,

and others,

I always enjoy both your posts and findings and have always, like you said, think you post for the interest and fun discussion.

I think you can tell who posts for the fun of it, and there are many that do this. Also those who find great finds and recommend etc. 

 My op, just a curious speculation on things

that happen here🤷‍♀️

@on the bay   agree...and don't want those that are helpful and considerate to get burned. Hoping this does not go to the dark side.

This is an interesting theory.

 

I never undersood why a thread regarding a dealer on Etsy and the items sold seems to go on forever.

 

Posting on the Q site sure generates a ton of publicity.

Re: Did you know? Posting about items-ads equals money!

How nice it would be if I had gotten a commission for the pre-Fall fashion preview recently posted.  Never thought of that.  I could have made quite a bit of money because the retail prices are in the thousands.

 

Also, had gotten a commission for selling some of QVC's items I posted here.  HA!

 

Don't include me in with those breaking QVC rules.

Have all of you forgot about NURSE RECRUITER?

 

That's what all her posts were about, profiting off the readers and there was more but I forgot.

Hmmm...I never knew this either.  I like to post pictures of things I use & ❤️, mostly on the Beauty forum, but I was not aware that people actually get paid to do this.  Now I'll wonder if the poster really ❤️ the item being posted or is just wanting to make a $$.

@Just Bling , I do!  I'd forgotten about her.  Sometimes it can get pretty entertaining I think.

 

There have been others over the years whose names I can't remember, but you can pretty well tell in pretty short order when somebody works for a company or has a personal interest IMO.
