I was spending far too much time dropping Entrecards on as many people as possible for my four blogs, I was doing an average of 500 – 600 drops per day but this was costing me about an hour and a half almost every night just devoted to blog drops. This was absurd and I have decided to end my dropping campaign and focus on blogging and article writing and promotion instead.
There are still ways to earn many Entrecard credits, I created several services in the Marketplace and earn an average of 500 EC per day just from doing 15 minutes of work for my services in the Marketplace. So in essence I earn the same amount of EC’s per day, but for much less time spent and through the Entrecard marketplace instead.
I do still use Entrecredits to advertise my blog, but I also use them to buy services in the marketplace, services that include posting articles to social networks, tweeting about your articles, as well as reviews and even guest posts if you want to host some guest bloggers. These are more valuable than purchasing ad slots via credits on other bloggers sites to me at this time.
I still am waiting for my account to be approved to cash in Entrecredits, as I would like to cash in some of my Entrecredits and use that money to maybe purchase a new book or something for my collection. In the meantime if you are spending too much time doing EC Drops, I suggest you find more creative ways to leverage the marketplace. Indeed I did lose about 50% of my visitor traffic to two of my blogs, but in the end I would rather have my traffic come from sources other than “payback” for me visiting their sites in return as I just can’t keep up anymore.

Thank you for putting up the subscribe by email. I have done that and it makes it so much easier to keep up with your posts and not rely on EC.
