Carmina's Income from Poppo Live vs. Meta Facebook

Carmina will compare her income from Poppo Live vs Meta Facebook. A lot of us have seen other digital creators compare their income to let others participate. Some of us are discourage whether to do it or not. Example my rate per hour in Poppo Live is 1,000 and if I participated it in one month. I gain 30,000 points not including the one-hour party is additional 800 per day.  When you decide to be a  Normal VIP  we earn 3,500 reward coins per day plus the fireworks we attend a party. The other activities are participating in  Trade Gifts  while you're in a party.  The $20.00 is my income from Poppo Live if I want to withdraw my points.

I don't need to touch it.  From Meta Facebook majority star senders don't give you stars every day it is not that active even if you post reels every day. We are already monetized. We don't receive so many stars daily.  I know how it is because...

Carmina is Blessed Surrounded by Everyone

There will be a peak in your life when no one is around you. Some of our friends have been pre-occupied and not into social media. Carmina has been independent going around exploring alone.  We have friends who tell us they will not always be there for you. Honestly, I know everyone's life will change chasing their dreams that was hold off during our pandemic years. I also realized that I enjoy seeing myself being alone because there is no drama to deal with people venting about their personal problems. People say when they see me, I look different there is allure coming when you enter a room. I guess what you don't realize you are more relaxed being free from drama.  You get to train people around you when someday you're not next by them at least they can be able to do for themselves. We have reached one year older somehow, we have matured the way we think. Many of my family and friends say I talk too direct, yet I grew up this way living in California. We are not afraid t...

Carmina's Lucky🍀Day

Carmina woke up feeling being in a good mood. Starting my day off checking my Facebook account while doing chorus in the house. Yesterday, I had posted a reel's videos from based on my experience. I feel the only way to show people how Poppo Live works is explain every step how to trade a gift with friends or giving a gift to those who are in the party seating down at the gold crown. We never know who we met. Just happen a new person Roselle said she also does Poppo Live. Sounds so fun because we can see how the person really looks in person. Some people use old photos of themselves with filters. If you have the chance to watch them live streaming, you'll see how they really look in person. Roselle is new in Poppo Live. I started giving her gifts to people I was attending that time in a one-hour party. I had followed Risa who Amy had introduced me too who we have trade several times before.  In real life we met people through introduction and somehow more friends begin to flow ...
