Welcome to My Tumblr HUB Portal (Reblog)
I have been an active Tumblr blogger/microblogger for years. It is an excellent platform that allows a publisher to blog, microblog, and network, socially and professionally. It is also very easy to share links from my Blogspot blogs and my WordPress blogs via Tumblr and expose my content to more readers. I have been telling people about the joys of Tumblr for years. ...

Residual Income : Social Sites That Pay (A 2nd Look) - Update #2
UPDATE June 8, 2021 : It is as they say: "Only the strong survive!" As of today, I am somewhat active on MyLot; very active on Forum Coin; and I have found 2 new partner sites to try out: Read.Cash and Noise.Cash. (If you click through to Read.cash, there is a banner at the top of the page that directs you to Noise.Cash.) These two platforms let you earn Bitcoin Cash (BCH). After that you have to figure out on your own where and how to spend the cryptocurrency OR how to exchange for cash you can use to purchase goods and services or pay your bills. The misadventures continue! ☺
* * *
UPDATE May 29, 2016 : This post was first published 02 November 2016. A lot can happen in a short period of time. Two of sites mentioned below ~ BlogBourne and Literacy Base ~ are either closing for business or "in limbo". Those two sites were blogging communities. The 3rd site is actually a discussion forum and seems to be keeping its members happy. Meanwhile, signed up for another discussion forum - ForumCoin.com. It has a points system. 500 points = $5 USD. A nice community and I see lots of familiar faces. You're welcome to join.
ForumCoin Sign Up is free.
* *INFO below shared 11/2/2016:
The link shared below leads to a post that was published at my other blog. It was my first evaluation of social communities that have a revenue-share plan and you can get paid for all of your activity, not just for publishing blog posts.
This post supplies a contrast and comparison for three (3) different sites: two of them are (in my mind) blogging communities and the other one is more like a discussion forum or a micro-blogging platform/social network.
These are my profile links:

When I say that I'm taking a second look, I mean that a reevaluation or a second evaluation is in order.
BlogBourne is a site where many of my fellow friends and bloggers are actively publishing and commenting. It must be a worthwhile effort. Otherwise, why would they continue to stay there? However, for me, navigating the site to find topics of interest to me feels a tad bit awkward. Also, to get a post approved, 400+ words are required. For these reasons, my activity at this site is not very frequent.
By contrast, my efforts at Literacy Base and myLot are much more rewarding, and as such, I login to my account almost every day. There is always something to be done, in addition to blogging, at either of these sites that can generate some extra income.
In fact, myLot doesn't even require blogging. But if you wanted, you could describe your activity as micro-blogging. Starting a discussion there is very similar to composing a short Tweet. (A short Tweet? That's a redundant expression, isn't it? I apologize. :) )
To get a post approved at Literacy Base, 300+ words are required. For some reason, it seems easier to write 300 words than 400. (It's psychological. I'm a fruitcake! ) But you can easily earn from contributing to forums and groups, updating you wall (or timeline) with a quote or some random comment, leaving comments at blog posts published by others, etc.
With Literacy Base (cash out at $10) and myLot (cash out at $5) - look up at the right hand corner of your screen and you can immediately see your earnings. With BlogBourne (cash out at $10) you have to calculate what you've earned by multiplying your accumulated coins by the exchange rate. (Not sure what the exchange rate is. It's probably best if you ask the BB site owner directly or click here to read a post by a blogger who is a member at both sites.)
Two final remarks:
(1) The communities have really nice members.
(2) If you are a newbie blogger, these sites are a great place to get started. If I could go backwards, I would have started my blogging attempts at sites like these. Eh! Live and learn! My pain is your gain.

All of them have income potential.
My member name at all of the sites is "cmoneyspinner".

- NOTE: To be fair, you also don't need to blog at BlogBourne. You can be active in the same way as on Literacy Base.

Tumblr vs Blogger: The Blogging Face-off | BrandYourself (Reblog)
"In a matchup of Blogger vs Tumblr, who wins?"
Adding my "extras" to this very informative article published by BrandYourself.com, an online reputation management service.
Moving on from there, the writer decided to contrast and compare the sign-up process, the dashboard interface, and customization and basically I ended up thinking: “Eh! So what!” (O.o)
* The BY article writer concluded that Tumblr is the victor.
* My conclusion is that there is no need for a face-off. These two platforms can fit together like a hand in a glove. They're both winners!
First, everything stated in the BY article is spot on. It's all true true true. (In my humble opinion and to the best of my knowledge.) Even though our conclusions are worded differently, in essence, we actually both agree.
Adding my "extras" to this very informative article published by BrandYourself.com, an online reputation management service.
The article writer starts off examining the traffic ranking as a measure of popularity among users and the difference between Tumblr and Blogger, i.e. the intended purpose for the platforms; and ends up by basically saying: “Eh! So what!” In other words, the results of a comparison of popularity and purpose yielded no significant lines in the sand to be drawn, in order for the two to challenge each other and say “I dare you to step over this line!”

I just want to add a few "finishing touches" to the contrasts and comparisons that were presented.
Blogger or Blogspot is not an original Google product (i.e. was not developed in-house) and Google clearly does not place a high priority on enhancing and improving it. But that's OK. Because I'm perfectly fine with the platform. I can work with it! So send prayers to the Google tech god and ask that this free and easy-to-use platform not be eliminated from the free set of webmaster tools offered to Google account holders. We have to pray. We know what happened to Google's attempts at creating a social networks before Google Plus. Blogspot is a great platform for newbie bloggers and for experienced bloggers who really know how to “whip it!” (i.e. make good use of it). I've seen some really beautiful blogs published using the Blogspot platform.
Some people may think the Tumblr platform was only started for people who love porn. LOL. I don't know what David Karp had in his mind but I will say that for whatever reason he utilized his creative genius, the final product is an inimitable blogging and microblogging platform that is awesome! Really! I have tried to find Tumblr alternatives and the platforms may come close, but they can not take the place of the original. Alas, Mr. Karp maintained a little bit of control when YAHOO acquired Tumblr but finally in 2017 Karp resigned and turned over the reins to the new management after the company was purchased by Verizon. I have been an active Tumblr user for several years, and even though the company has changed ownership, the platform itself has pretty much remained the same. It can be used for blogging (the same way most people use Blogspot) and for microblogging (the same way most people use Twitter) or both. It is super easy-to-use and there is a Tumblr Help Center, if you have questions. If bloggers cannot find answers, the Tumblr Staff can be contacted.
So in response to "In a matchup of Blogger vs Tumblr, who wins?", my answer is:

It's a tie. A very nice tie. ☺
