It is our first payday, we would like to thank all 9 of you for finding favor with our content.

Congratulations. The payouts for me were low when I started out, with the exception of that magical first "real" post. My hazing came when I posted a post that I put my heart into: it got two cents.

I took it in stride, making jokes to myself about my "two cents' worth." Good on you for staying upbeat.
