I know what it's like to really, sincerely try and you feel like you're not making progress. But you are. Everytime you C & R you learn a little more, you're building moves upon your history grid.

One great thing about FanBox is that there's also more to learn and small successes build upon each other to create greater successes. You stay in Ophie - I've watched your participation and you are going to be where you want to be if you will stay with it. Keep learning and most of all have fun and make friends. Things fall into place when you relax with it and concentrate on interacting with and helping others.

TO YOUR SUCCESS and success to all who have been kind enough to come and read my work.

GSSVALI NIZAMI thank YOU for commenting and participating. This is another thing that makes for GREAT success at FanBox - actually going to and READING each other's work. Making thoughtful comments and reviewing does take time, and I know we're all busy, but just going to each others posts doesn't work. We only get paid when others come and spend time on our posts and they only get paid when we go and spend time on their posts. Also, it matters HOW they come to our posts... from the News Feed as our friend/fan, from the Search Engine or from an advertisement of our post. Some people think making a quick comment, or categorizing and rating without taking time to really read the post is the way to go... this saves them time and they get to more people with the hope that those people will come visit THEIR posts. But actually this behavior can hurt your fans and friends and even your own earnings. I'll be putting up a post on this in an Ask Gerry column so keep checking back by selecting the green Follow This Blog button on the Ask Gerry blog series. You'll receive an email notification (if you have your notications turned on) so you don't miss it. Thanks!

@ Daphne Alvarez Great to have you here and right back at cha - you are one of my personal favorite writers and it was that same thing that drew me to your posts - refreshing honesty and lovely thoughts . You've been doing well too and staying on the Leaderboard! I do keep up!

@ Candyz awww thanks, I'm glad to hear that - your country is VERY involved and I love to see and will support leaders that step out among you. The time difference and language problems are still some of the bumpy things we all need to work to smooth out here. I love that now you can post and make ads in your own language, but we don't want that blessing to fractionalize or isolate us. I'd still like to see some way that we could facilitate translations and develop top leaders for each area that are bilingual in their language and English. But that's great! We still have room to grow... you are your friends and fans are always welcome here - and if I need to repeat something or make it simpler and plainer, please just ask. You will never bother me. I love seeing people who want to learn and understand. Maybe one day you'll teach me some of your language. LOL (I wouldn't do that to you!)

I love teaching and hope to find a place that is a fit for my talents in that capacity. Good luck to you all... I know you can do it. KEEP ASKING... I promise there are answers. --My best to you, Gerry James.

Thanks Christopher! And you're absolutely right... that is how we all learn, and we just really need to be patient with ourselves. FanBox is not hard to do at all, but there are so many ways to earn and when you first begin ANYTHING it can all seem like a foreign language at first. Then, as we learn what things are and where they are and get used to going there and doing it, we gradually begin to form little habits than help us. These are little algorithms of our own making in our minds and once we get a routine things start "making sense" and before you know it, we're even teaching others.

I am so happy to see you here with such a great positive commment and I am wishing you BIG success here at FanBox!
