Convert dA POINTS to REAL MONEY

  • Eating: Crisps





EDIT2: GUUUUYS, PLEEEEEEEASE read through the other comments. I´m 99% sure that your question has been asked AND ANSWERED before. :iconsobbplz:

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! :iconkissinguplz:

What you need:



Be a Premium Member BETA TESTER
Have a Paypal


That easy!  :iconba-kyunplz:


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

Photobucket

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

Photobucket


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

Then you should end up HERE

Photobucket

SCROLL DOWN

Until you come to THIS

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

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 :points:

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 :iconhontoplz:

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!

Photobucket

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

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

Photobucket


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 :iconmahfeelzplz:

I am a premium member and a Beta tester.
There's no "Sell downloads as premium content" option for me o.o
Could someone tell me why? o.o'

Hey I have an another idea to convert your points into real money..... Just earn points as much as you can... after having enough points make another account and donate all your money to that... and after that from that account commission yourself and from the same procedure as you've mentioned we will get the real money... so it's like commissioning yourself... I hope you are getting me.. ^.^
And by the Thanks for sharing this.. :)

So if I did a commission, and someone transferred points to my account as payment, could I then convert those points into money through PayPal?

20% isn't really that bad. They have to have money somehow. And it just gives another opportunity to earn some extra cash. And if they didn't have the 20% royalty free points to money wouldn't last long, and would loose income to users, and a loss for point holders. So what if It cost more. As long as you earn decent cash. It's worth it.

when i want to withdraw it to paypal, it asked me to enter a PayPal verified email. i enter the right e-mail, so what should i do?

Is there a way to get the money directly transferred to my card or something? Because I have to be 18 to have a pay pal and I`m 17 > . >

Alternatively, if you have premium membership and are a beta-tester, you can now use the Commissions Widget which will ask for points as payment but will automatically generate your earnings into money, which can be withdrawn from the My Earnings screen.

Note: DA takes 20% of whatever you charge through the C.W., so the conversation rate is approximately 100 :points: to $1, instead of 80 :points: to $1 (the purchase rate.)

So, if you have points on one account, could you transfer them into money by buying something from another of your own account?
