The best strategy is just be yourself and contribute, don't even think about how much your post is earning. Then when you think you might have enough check the link Are You Getting Paid To Post Yet and it will tell you how many you have. I usually have way more than enough, but I suggest you go over the 30 to make sure. I haven't missed getting the $3 bonus for YEARS, it's easy money and fun too.

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about as far as this: "a red x by a post means it is not good". Do you remember where you saw this stated? I did several searches, using different wording, and came up with nada other than you saying it. oldbuddy's advice is good and all you really need to keep in mind when posting is threads that require a one or two word reply such as "favorite ice cream flavor", or the ones that are "counting to ....." where a reply is just a number will NOT count as contributory. Also, copying/pasting info from another site without adding any thoughts of your own and/or just quoting another member's words will NOT count either. Simply starting a slew of new topics and only putting a title on them, without adding why you're asking the question or making the statement, will do you no good.

Find the topics you know something about, start one about something YOU are interested in, and you'll have nothing to worry about because you WILL have much more to say about them. That's my take on it anyway and I have never had a posting bonus denied in all my time here. The few months I did NOT get it were only because I didn't have enough posts - I had too much 'real life' happening and no time for chatting on FC. :)
You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.

Agree with all said by jordandog here......
the only thing I have to add is I DO remember someone asking/talking about "RED X's" on SOMETHING here on the FC forum, but I don't know that it was concerning posts...it could have been just about anything. But I remember someone mentioning that they were concerned about having red x's on something...somewhere.   

OK having said that......YEAH that (non) info was of absolutely NO HELP at all to anyone....(lol?? :-[
                    
How come it won't play?

Jordandog does provide excellent advice above, which is why you may notice most of the posts I respond to have something to do with making money or getting referrals (what I know the most about).

The Red X is probably in reference to a broken image error. If you provide a link to an image that is no longer there, you would get a rectangle with a Red X in it.

Hey Old Buddy - you definitely know more than just referrals and making money!  You have a bit of the techie in you, too!  I have only missed one three dollar one - last month - which was my own doing because I was so overworked and there was so much going on at home I just didn't get around to the thirty posts.  My bad, my doing.  It will never happen again.  I just love the monetary boost provided by those three bucks each month.
End the suffering!  Get your cats - and all strays and ferals - spayed and neutered!

Just make sure you are contributing.  Don't reply with short answers.  While I have probably 50-60 posts per month, not all would I consider one that contributes.  We're all here to help each other out.  If you keep that motivation, you will be fine.

The only red 'X' is in the upper right-hand corner of offers and allows you to hide offers you have already signed up for or no longer wish to see so you can spot new offers more easily. Just follow the general rule of making your posts helpful or contributory and you'll be fine.

I've never heard or seen a 'red x' by my posts. A good post is enlighting, informative, and interesting. Just be yourself. It can be any topic (rated G, of course) and lead into any direction. You can reply to a topic or start your own. You need 3 a month to qualify so it's pretty easy to earn your rewards. Welcome aboard and good luck.

I assume that's a typo, you need 30 a month to qualify and you report the 3 best ones. It wouldn't hurt to have a few extra in case some don't make the grade.
