You are welcome to the forum but it will be good if you don't put how to earn in this forum for now, it is not bad to know how you are going to proceed to a level where you will be earning in this forum but it will be good if you focus on the forum first, you have not to know anything about the forum and you are asking how to earn, or have you see where someone started earning money without not learning before? This forum is not what you are thinking and this is the reason why some newbie don't stay in the forum for long if they spend a month and do not earn anything they will not log in again, and some will even forget their account password.

Your friend didn't lie to you about earning in this forum but for me, he didn't tell you the truth because this is a forum where rules must be obeyed if not you won't like the end, did your friend earn in this forum? And also did your friend tell you how he did to start earning in the forum? Many people will introduce people to the forum without explaining anything to who he is introducing to the forum, it is not bad to ask but I think it will be good if you are introduced to the forum you should ask who is Introducing you very well so that you will understand before joining, so that you won't feel disappointed when you don't see the forum as you expect.
