I won’t get paid this month.
Because I got paid earlier.
Yay! Thanks Virily!
I feel like I’m no longer a noob.
Well, I still don’t understand how earnings are updated, but I guess most of the experienced members don’t know either. All good.
Lately, I’ve been more motivated to stay here.
The only trouble is waiting for the posts to be approved.
I would have loved to join the photo challenges, but I have no certainty of when my posts get published. The day before is not always an accurate guess.
While this is an issue several users face, I’m grateful for the latest changes and updates that Virily implemented to improve the platform, and the approval times aren’t enough of a reason to make me give up.
I guess the staff has been too busy elsewhere, and it might be difficult to keep up with everything. This is more of a display of concern than a proper complaint.
There are other few things I’d like Virily to take care of.
Social Media
Virily has more than one thousand (1k) followers on each of their social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter). Yet, their latest activities date back to 2018.
I think it’s important to get back to these platforms. It would help with visibility, and could be a good place where to post updates and keep in touch with the members.
New Users
Registrations for new users are currently closed. It’s been a while, actually.
I can’t deny this choice came with benefits. The site is easier to manage, and the value of virils has increased. At least, that was what I heard.
However, I believe there are plenty of people who would love to replace those who left, and help the community grow and prosper.
-
What do you think the priority should be?
-
Decrease approval times
-
Be active on social media again
-
Re-open registrations for new users

Congrats on your payment… As the things stand I don’t get a payment every month from this site but I think I should work more here and try for one at least every alternate month, thanks for posting this.
Thanks! ? Last month, I made more than $5 and posted only 6 times. I was mostly active visiting and commenting the posts from other users. It shouldn’t be hard to be paid every alternate month. Good luck with it. ?
Congratulations on your payment! I have to say that Virily’s getting more and more attractive for me after the latest updates and I feel more motivated than before to be active here, so I hope I will soon follow your example and reach my first payment.
Thank you! Yes, Virily is becoming more and more appealing. I hope you can receive your first payment very soon. ?
I wish I knew what was in the mind of the admins. ?
I feel like I’m back to childhood, not understanding why parents take decisions in a certain way, and if I ask, I’m told “because yes”, like some things were too technical for us to understand. ??
Now that they’re faster at approving, or I guess they are, I have nothing to post. ?
It’s frustrating when you attempt to help people who don’t help themselves, it feels like wasted time. I feel you.
It’s always better to be thankful even when we think the help we’re receiving doesn’t work.
Sorry, I must have forgotten about that. I’ve been gathering new ‘data’ and that part got buried.
For example, I saw there’s a Virily account (not Virily Editor but another) that used to post about tips, updates or challenges.
On a post, they said the users that post high quality content regularly have the chance to become verified, meaning they no longer have to wait for their content to be approved. That’s also what I read in some comments here.
I wish their communication improvements also included posting more articles on Virily, like they used to.
It’s easier to remember what people did, instead of what they said. And I see Virily has been less active. Perhaps, they’re working more behind the scenes, but that isn’t something we can see, therefore it sometimes feels we’re forgotten.
If Virily members have their own concerns and don’t feel completely safe, ignoring or telling them everything is okay and their issue is unimportant, isn’t a good strategy.
Of course, I understand it’s their website and they’re free to do as they please, but users are those who keep the platform alive, deal with it daily and are most affected by changes.
It would help if Virily kept us updated about their projects and asked for opinions from time to time, as we aren’t simple viewers but creators.
I don’t like the way Virily acts towards us, it’s too secretive and leads to discomfort and suspicion among the users.
Virily mirrors real life. You often have to act like you care, if you want to thrive. I’m accustomed to hypocrisy, though I despise it. I even prefer contradiction because it feels more genuine than hypocrisy. ?
I meant I forgot about the piece in a post you made where you said Virily is working on communication.
I think it’s the number of posts that doesn’t make you verified. After all, we’ve been here for years, but not as consistent as we should. We should be posting about every day.
I’m too shy to contact the admins directly, but it’s good you gained more trust even if not all your messages receive a reply.
Yes! Nice satisfaction and motivation.
It really was, thank you! ?
Congratulations to you!
Thank you very much! ?
Keep it up! Nice work
Yay! Congrats! Hope to see you receive many more payments
Hehehe, thank you! I will. ?
I’m waiting on my 5th! Should be in either next week or the week after.
we don’t know the whole story, so we can’t make an informed decision. it seems like being more active on social media to promote the site would be advisable, but what if they’re spending all their time approving posts and improving performance?
can’t say where their optimal ROI is without knowing what the admins know. and we don’t…
They’re probably busier now compared to a year ago. I shared what was on my mind after it took four days to get a post approved, I saw their latest activity on social media and read about people on forums who would have loved to register and been waiting for a while.
Then I just wanted to know what users cared about the most among these options. You’re right, we can’t take decisions in behalf of the administrators, and I guess we never did, but that wasn’t my intention in the first place.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. ?
I meant that unless we knew the whole story, we can’t tell a good decision from a bad one. Making users wait four days to get a post approved sounds stupid to us and deferred revenue to them, but we don’t know what is driving that decision…
I should have added “interact with users more often and explain the decisions you take” among the options, that would have won. ?
It’s kind of odd members submit posts concerning the site and the site never seems to reply back.
yeah, it is kinda off putting
I have been fortunate now to be able to post articles straight away but they need to shorten approval times. Write more posts and they may start to get you in a position where you don’t have to wait
Thanks, I will try. ?
At the moment, we’re having days with tons of content and days with fewer posts; it would really help to decrease approval times and keep a balance when it comes to activity. ?
Yes agree with you, sometimes it pays to be patient hard that may be
Lately, things are much better than they were. I also have similar problems as you … wait for the approval of posts, but I do not burden when it will be approved. Members are familiar with the situation and do not mind if the post for the challenge is delayed ?
Thank you, that’s motivating. ?
I should ignore the delays and join the challenges anyway. ?
Congratulations on your payment.
I do not need to wait for approval of my posts but I understand how it’s annoying to wait for few days. I also noticed Virily Editors posts, and I understand how SEO is powerful for any site. Just pity they do not credit us more for external views so there is no inspiration to write posts using SEO, or long, meaningful posts that would attract people outside Virily.
Thanks! Yes, it’s kind of frustrating and may ruin plans. You’re lucky you don’t have to wait for approval. ?
Agreed. I think rewards for external views were removed because some were abusing the system somehow, but it demotivates users to write high quality posts. At least the site runs smoothly now, it wasn’t SEO friendly at all when it took ages to load pages.
Thankfully you got paid. I read about many who are waiting much too long for approval.
It seems like we’re back to normal, hopefully it’ll continue this way. ?
Four days waiting for a post to be approved felt like too much, definitely.
Congrats on payment!! You know you deserve it!!
Well I think its great they’re not opening doors to new people … I think they should wait till the site is more stable in order to keep them. :p
Thanks! ? Yes, it would be wise to improve some more before allowing new users to join, but I thought we were already good to go when we got rid of those 500 errors. ?
But now we’ve error with posting… which is quite an essential area of the site, don’t you think?
We’ve always had errors with posting, I thought it was what made Virily special, among other things. ?
Jokes aside, yes, I agree. I doubt we’ll ever get rid of that though.
Lol. won’t it be more special if the site went empty ?
I really wish the error would get fix too…I really don’t wish to keep having to refresh for the cover photo to appear :/
Congratulations on your payment … that waiting for posting approval also kills me … I waited 3 days for the approval of today’s announcement so that May 1 is already passing
Thank you! Yes, it seems like we can’t post anything that has a deadline, if we want to respect that deadline.
Congratulations on your payment. I hope the site got more clients and revenues so that they could add more staff that could help them in the management.
Thank you! You’re right, the site probably needs more staff, but revenues are required for that to happen. I hope a way to reach the required amount of traffic will be found.
Actually, a little help from every member would do. We can help generate traffic by making use of the share buttons.
I think things are going well as they are. Perhaps they should decrease approval time, but administrators decide what their priorities are.
I noticed Virily Editor has been posting articles lately, I guess they’re attempting to get more views, and more revenues, by using SEO. I hope it’ll be successful so they can focus on other issues. The site might need more staff.
Thanks for sharing your opinion. ?
It is for me personally to quickly approve the posts. That does not apply to me. But I think about the others. So people will be more relaxed and regular.
True. If posts get approved quickly, that means more activity. Currently, there are many members but few posts are published. Thanks for commenting. ?
