EDIT3: THIS POST IS NOW OUTDATED ♥ I will no longer answer questions on this post.

EDIT2: GUUUUYS, PLEEEEEEEASE read through the other comments. I´m 99% sure that your question has been asked AND ANSWERED before.  EDIT: Not EVERYONE has been given this future yet it seems.
It can take up to 14 days for your money to end up in paypal.




I don´t know if many people know about this or even how to do it..~♥
THAT´S WHY IM GOING TO TELL YOU!

How to take point commissions and still earn REAL FRESH MONEY!

What you need:

Be a Premium Member BETA TESTER
Have a Paypal


That easy!  


However if you are going to do this dA takes a part of the money you earn. Around 20 Points on Every 80 points [I think]
Which makes you earn only 60 points even if you sell for 80.
That´s why I suggest you think that 1 Dollar = 100 points
Instead of 80, that way you won´t lose anything on it. *w* ~

How to do it!

You need to upload your picture to Sta.sh



Then Click on the Uploaded picture in your Sta.sh.
It should look something like this.




Then you click on the select CATEGORY
It is above the description

Then you should end up HERE



SCROLL DOWN

Until you come to THIS



Here you see down to the left "Generate earnings"
And beneath "Sell downloads as premium content"
Select THAT BOX



And it will look like this!
Here you decide how much to sell your picture for.
As I said dA "takes" 20 points/ 0.20 $ so I suggest to think that 1 $= 100

If you are selling a piece that is a commission for example I suggest that you crop the picture to the extreme or something until the person has Bought it!
OR make a picture beforehand that says "PAY FOR COMMISSIONS HERE"
You can always change how much it should cost, so you can change it for every commissioner

That way the Da points come to use again for real purpose!
HOWEVER
You cannot withdraw your money to PayPal until you have earned at least 5 $

How do I see my earnings?

SIMPLE!



You go to this box. And down to the right you can see "MY EARNINGS"
Click there!

AND.......... VOILA!




HOPE YOU FIND THIS USEFUL GUYS!
I just figured this out as well, I hope I haven´t taken anything wrong or explained it wrong!
If so please correct me!


A-and I´m not good with HTML stuff, so sorry if the pictures are small TAT ~♥

HAVE A LOVELY DAY

PoshPhotos In reply to theyxkilledxKenny [2012-09-04 18:30:37 +0000 UTC]

Your absolute shunning of Comic Sans shows your ignorance of the font's purpose and history. It was developed by a typographer working under Microsoft to be a minimal "Fun" font. The font works perfectly when used correctly. Yamio's Journal is pink, it has a minimal and fun nature to it! Using it is appropriate here because of that alone.

The hate on Comic Sans is contextual, for how people will use it for the WRONG situations. For example: A teacher using it as the font on their History or Math tests they're handing out to their students. A test is a very serious thing, and shouldn't use a lighthearted fun font.

TL;DR You have no idea what you're talking about, Comic Sans hate from typographers is because of it's misuse in certain contexts. Get out you ignorant tool, you're just following what people tell you, instead of truly understanding what you're saying.

You think I didn't know the context-thing? That's exactly why I posted the intitial comment. The poster used this font for an entire text that is supposed to be taken seriously. Your entire comment merely proves my point.

heybutterbee In reply to theyxkilledxKenny [2012-09-04 20:58:46 +0000 UTC]

Wait.. so you're implying that the poster should have taken in consideration that this post was serious and changed the font? Even though she took the freaking time to type this long-ass tutorial, complete with pictures and everything on dA for all of us to enjoy and use. Even though all her other journals are light-hearted and fun. Eve though, when you type inside dA, it's NOT in Comic Sans. She should have figured "Oh wait better change my Journal CSS just in case there are some Comic Sans haters.. even if I do like the font a lot for its cuteness", before pressing "Submit"?

How rude of you to just go on her hardworked post, ignore the whole thing and only comment on her supposedly improper use of a certain font. Good job! You made her feel bad about something that doesn't even matter that much. It's not like the font makes her less credible so who cares? In the 500 comments and over 9000 views, there was only you who even mentioned Comic Sans....ಠ_ಠ (don't play with technicalities here, that would be dumb..)

Obviously everyone was too busy being happy, thankful or just confused on the matter to even care about the font usage. Comic Sans is only detrimental to a text when people can't take you seriously with it.

9000 views/500 comments are backing me up so meh, what about you?

theyxkilledxKenny In reply to heybutterbee [2012-09-05 07:31:25 +0000 UTC]

How rude of me? This whole conversation started with a one sentense comment. I just pointed it out. I didn't ask her to change her, I didn't say I didn't like the content. You're making a lot more drama out of this than it's worth

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

heybutterbee In reply to theyxkilledxKenny [2012-09-05 12:17:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh don't worry all of this is in between us, because my part of the conversation starts mostly in replies, the part you can't see from the main thread. Well you didn't say you liked the content either! Your lack of mentioning it and your negativity towards such a trivial thing points to you simply not caring. Understandable since you can't even access this content. Anyways it wasn't about you liking the content or not, it was about how credible it looks like. Let's stick to the topic yes?

"Didn't ask her to change" Well you certainly heavily implied it (and really with not much niceness and tact)!

"Did you REALLY use Comic Sans now? o.O"
"That's the most terrible font in the world. It has no buisness being in your journal! Your journal deserves better " (How can her journal even deserve better? It's her journal therefore her choice)
"I actually find it to be the most annoying font on planet earth
It has absolutely no design to it "

The fact is, I don't even know why you even decided to comment like that. You just felt the need to insult her font choice? All your messages to her point to that really... Maybe you should have been less rude, more nice and more tact by not commenting at all.

I'm just 3rd party to this. She was writing this neutral journal, not even trying to provoke you and you decided to go and insult her. Talk about making a lot more drama out of this than it's worth. Also you picking at nothing (why, yes it was rude of you..) only proves my point that you don't have anything to defend yourself nor to justify this hate.

Now you can say "Well I just hate this font" Ok sure, but next time please don't bring someone unrelated to your hatred into your mess.

No, I have the right to mention that, to my opinion, she made a wrong choice of font.
I did not intend to derive from the subject, but frankly I'm just too annoyed with you to reply to your entire comments.

heybutterbee In reply to theyxkilledxKenny [2012-09-05 14:02:11 +0000 UTC]

Again yes you do have the right to, but you do not have the right to insult someone, especially one who did not provoke you.

Also, like I told you before, Comic Sans is included in her journal CSS, she has no reason to change it once she "installed" it or copy-pasted it in. She couldn't have known it was Comic Sans (noted by her confusion when you first mentioned it to her). Again dA's text boxes aren't in Comic Sans so she had no way to know until after submitting the journal. Common sense really.

I did not insult her, I insulted the font and her font choice. I never called her any names. As opposed to you who has called me ignorant and a tool.

You have to earn the money through downloads. You cannot transform your own points to money YvY <3333

That's false. You can, but you need another account.
If you send the points to a back-up account, an old account, an adopts account, etc. you can do exactly the same thing, and earn your points back as cash! <:

Actually I tried doing that and I got a note saying if I tried it again they would take away my premium membership.

Well excuse me for trying to be helpful. You shouldn't go around telling people to do things that could get them in trouble.
