The SBA forum does indeed have a Monetary System, and this is how it works and how to use it
Every member is given a gift of $5000 to start off with, this isn't allot but you will earn more money as you go. To receive your money look to the left of the forum see those little icons any time there is a gold gift box click on it, it means that the forum admins are giving out free money, links to these gifts of cash are also either sent via message or posted somewhere on the forum, you can only accept the gift once.
Earning Interest
Now that you have some money in your wallet why not pus some of it in your bank, putting money in your bank allows you to collect interest on it. The interest rate is 1% it's not allot but it will build up as you go, but there is a catch, you must be active, so you only collect if you have logged into the forum.
Earning Money
Earning more money on the forum is fairly simple and there are several ways you can do this,
1) Enter Shows, most shows have a small fee of about $10 per entry (animal) but with allot of shows, classes or divisions not being entered or filled usually, entering one of these almost guarantees you a win, an placing in the top 3 almost always pays out some how,
2) Posting starting threads and posting replys in most sub-boards pays out a few bucks here and there, Posting in such boards as the Member Albums earns you $25 for starting your Album, a full reply to any existing Member Album earns you $4 and a quick reply to one earns you $2, other boards that pay out include General Discussions, Council Events & Shows, (Council) Animal Profiles and Rider/Handler Applications, and Services.
3) Ranking Up - By posting on the forum you will rank up as you his specific post counts, when you rank up you will get $500
4) Wadges, yes you read that right Wadges, members earn some additional money for being active, if you are not on and active you don't get paid, Wadges are paid out every 2 weeks, the amount varies depending on post count, with a 2% bonus, don't spam the forum with posts just to increase your post count for more money, this will get you in trouble, and we can ban members from earning money.
5) Random Events, when you are posting make sure to watch out for Random Event pop ups as they could contain money
Selling Services
Selling your services to other members is another great way to earn money, now if you post here on the forum rather then just advertising on your website or facebook then you are actually earning more money then just being paid for whatever it is your selling. Lets say you are selling a Horse, if you only post to your website or on facebook you only get the amount your asking for for the Horse, but if you conduct the sale here on the forum, you get the amount you ask for, + the amount for posting the thread, + the amount for any replys you post, + you post count goes up, getting you closer to ranking up and higher wadges + you have a random shot at getting a random money event.
Services include Sales, Studding, Imports, Real Estate (making and selling lots), Training, Boarding, and Other services (making and selling markings, templates, poses and other CC).
Want Ads also pay out for posting and replying, they also increase you post count and get you a shot at a random money event.
From time to time the SBA Admins, Staff and some times other members may do random trivia contests or randomly gift out money.
