Hi
I am doing a survey of Orble writers. I would like to get your opinions and experiences of using this site. I am very curious.
I got onto it in response to an ad for Writers -on Seek, I think- and mainly as a means of writing discipline. Setting up the blog was a bit of an ordeal. I wasn’t aware until after I had set up that I needed to also sign up with Adsense to actually get any payment. That was another ordeal but Orble helped by answering my questions/giving advice. Since the blog has been up and running they have ignored my messages.
I did some posts then began to wonder if it was all a bit of a scam. I cleared off my posts on Filmenator because I didn’t want someone else to be offered my blog if I left it unattended- just as I had been offered another person’s film blog, including their writing. As a means of research(I was still curious) I then started a new blog – Celebrity Gossip and posted some rubbish with titles that I thought might attract traffic
It seems that there is only a handful of members who regular post and seem to be in contact with each other and I know that some of them are Orble employees. This thing has pricked my naturally cynical nature. I would love to find out what others have experienced.
HOW did you find out about Orble?
WHAT is your experience using it?
IS IT what you expected?
IS IT good for expression/communication/
support/opinions/ideas/whatev er?
DO you get valuable feedback?
DO YOU have any desire for contact beyond online?
HAVE YOU made any income from it?
Does ANYONE know exactly how the income is generated?
ARE THERE bloggers employed by Orble – or On Topic Media?
Thanks ahead for your reply.

Well, I'm really new here, so I can't pass judgment yet. I discovered Orble while searching for the terms "get paid to write". I haven't made any money yet, but it usually takes some time with a new site.
I like the setup here...it's somewhat different. And, I am getting hits on my blog. I do advertise my posts, however. I am happy to start my own blogs rather than take over somebody else's.
I am not sure exactly how Orble works yet...I need to read more. But, set up a channel for Orble on adsense and you will see if Orble is earning you money. Page impressions showed up straight away, but no clicks on the ads yet. That isn't unusual...it takes awhile. I haven't checked my adsense yet today.
I am open to outside contact, certainly.
Maybe I'll write an article here about writing for Orble once I get more established.
Thanks for commenting on my article. Overall, I do like Orble thus far.
