Hello Fans and Friends

Hello Fans and Friends

I am addressing all of you out there, who have been part of this community either for a long time or just for a little while, as I have.  I made this post because I am seriously contemplating leaving FanBox.  This may sound redundant, but no, I am not bluffing, I really am thinking about it.  I love being here, I love to write, I made

wonderful friends.  That being said, I have to aknowledge a few things that are bothering me.  I'm not pointing fingers, I'm not asking anyone to do my homework.  I just need to bring up a few issues in the hope that together we might find a solution.   Before I make that final decision I would like to ask everyone out there a question.  How are things working for you?  Are you pleased with the way things are  going with your earnings?

 Maybe it’s just me.  I just can’t help wondering though, if I’m the only one struggling.  I am willing to risk  coming off as “not very smart” by going so public with my dilemmas.   I would like some feedback from the community.  I realize that this may get me sent on my way.  So be it.  Before I leave I’d like to know if the rest of you out there are doing just fine and the problem lies solely with me.  Here are a few things which  compelled me to take this approach.  I am wondering about a number of things, namely:

Am I the only one who struggles with the fact that there is no way of telling how my ads are performing? Before the stats disappeared, I had multiple ads performing anywhere between 4% and 95% click rate. Today, every single one of my ads shows 0 performances.  My question to you is: do you know how well your ads are performing? What method  are you using when you chose which ad to fund?

When you fund an ad … is your ad a week later still not served while the money is there?...

Does your boosting money ever get lost? (though paypal confirms payment, more than three weeks later your boosting still says “pending payment”)

When your paypal payment is honored,  is your portfolio still sitting there pending for another 8, 9 days?

Here's another issue about which I wonder if I'm the only one facing: one week ago I could cash a certain amount of $ in 25 days; today it tells me that I can cash the same amount in 59 days.  Isn’t that going backward?  Not that I had any intention to cash out … but I can still tell which way is up and which is down, forward or backward.  This one  tells me that I’m going backward fast … just my observation.

These are some of my concerns and issues I’m struggling with.  I invite all of you, who happen to stumble upon my post, to comment and share your personal experience.
