When I first got here, I was just like you. I’d seen people make absurd amounts of money and wanted in. Since being here, I’ve unlocked the coveted secrets to what makes a whale and how you can get whale like paydays.
Disclaimer: I came here as a person to peep through the blinds and make sure the coast was clear before diving into the journey ahead. Below you can see my findings as to why some people make considerably more than others. My findings lack numbered steps because all of what is listed should be put to use simultaneously.
Honesty
Be Honest. Being honest with yourself as well as others can get you a lot further than you’d imagine here or in the real world.
Open
Be Open. Being open shows, you are not insecure of the story you have to tell and are willing to hear their stories for what they are just the same.
Thoughtful
Be thoughtful. Being thoughtful has a weird domino effect in which you have no idea how far it may have traveled. I’ve heard of cases in which a person smiled at someone on the street or told them that they mattered and the recipient was thankful to have found a reason to continue their existence that day.
Systematic
Be systematic. No one wants to work a boring job with the hours of 9 to 5 or go to school with hours nearly as long. From childhood, we are thrust into a world of schedules and need them believe something works. If the high school you went to on Mondays changed the hours from 10 am to 5 pm, on Tuesday from 2 pm to 1 am you’d grow weary and lack the want to return. Being here is no different its fine to have randomness now and again, but we all take comfort in a level of predictability. The level of predictability doesn’t have to be the time. The level could be the substance, the warmth or the ability of the person to just be a good listener.
Shortcuts
If someone tells you, they know a good shortcut you should envision traveling through the passageway above. There are no shortcuts in life as usually, they take you further out of the way.
The Final Word
My words of inspiration for the day is hard work is just as advertised….hard work. However, if you can stay focused long enough to not find yourself in a world of real life prostitution (F4F) why would you do it here. Also, in terms of copying a trend if 50 people walked into a room and were all wearing the same thing you would think they were in a cult (see image below) or had no individuality. The aforementioned statement is to help the copy/paste crew.
If you wouldn’t talk down to someone you saw in real life why would you do it here? I’m not saying you should ever talk down to anyone but just saying that everyone here is real…the bots included. Some people act as robots reminiscent of the Dunkin' Donuts man from the 80s (video below). His only goal in life was to get up and make the donuts. I’d like to say to you don’t just get up in the morning to make the donuts. You need to see the bigger picture, and the bigger picture is getting to know yourself means being open to yourself, being honest with yourself and being thoughtful to yourself and doing the same unto others.
Lastly, you have to stay active. If all you make are postings and short postings with little to know meaning and or feeling put into them they don't matter. If I start to tell you a story, you've already decided whether you want to continue processing my story withing the first five seconds. Being here is no different. We all come from different places and our lives are our fingerprint of the world. We all have different stories, unique stories, good stories to tell. Even still, if you are too afraid to tell those stories your five seconds has already expired and the person you're trying to pull in is no longer paying attention.
Have a wonderful day

Thank you as this community has definitely triggered the niceties within myself and the need to let people know their story is wanted. The only problem is many of us have up so many walls the story gets lost in its passage. Have a great day.
