Version 7 Tutorial here:
Management Tutorial Here:

I was so surprised that there wasn't a full tutorial on Points, especially not found easily. So I took some time and put this together.

Time taken: About 2-3 Hours

I hope this is helpful!


Edit 1: I have gotten some suggestions to add a chunk about the Llama Trade. However until I have some time, to add it I would like to explain it here [removed]

Edit 2: Fixed a typo!

Edit 3: Because of the release of Version 7, (Tutorial for it here at the top of these comments) I will be updating this shortly with changes to accommodate V7.

Edit 4: This version now features information about the llama trade and pictures and information that needed to be changed for V7 are now updated!

Edit 5: Fixed minor typo as well as cut it down to a better size.

OMG!
Thank you so much for the DD!
=Iluvocnj2006 and =dhikssy Thank you so much for suggesting it!

And thank you ^ginkgografix for featuring it and your help!

Thank you everyone and I hope that this will be useful for all!

Thanks for all the support on my 1st DD

It is kinda but at the end of day it's money that you need to buy points so really points are just points i suppose xD

So does that mean if someone donates me some points I still have to buy points !!
What if I buy something from donated points,do I still have to pay for it?

Allen-95 In reply to alina2re [2012-11-06 17:10:37 +0000 UTC]

Well they can donate points and yes if you want to get loads of points you can buy them! and if you save up the donated points others have given you, you can buy stuff from the shop as long as you have enough!

cool! I will give 2 llamas (because I have two accounts) for the one who sends me a note saying: "I want 2 llamas please!" and gives me 5

MisterTwister99 In reply to Total-Drama-Creative [2012-05-29 00:23:12 +0000 UTC]

usually people only give 1 point for a llama, because those are the kind of offers you get in the llamatrade: [link] so, for two llamas, most people would pay two points.

If I want to buy a print, what happens to my points? Do they instantly go away when I finish the order or do I have to come up with some sort of point exchange with the deviant who created the print?

TimberClipse In reply to piercingemeralds2 [2012-03-21 05:17:12 +0000 UTC]

Assuming you pay through the dA sop, they act as real money.... 80 to the USD.

So yes, they would just "vanish" when you pay.

I don't meed to communicate with the artist at all? Sorry, for all the questions, I've just never bought a print before.

If you are going to buy a print, why can't you just download it and print it yourself?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TimberClipse In reply to beatles99 [2012-04-10 04:58:49 +0000 UTC]

Because that would not support the artist

huh. seems like deviantart should have a way to stop people from getting free prints.

TimberClipse In reply to beatles99 [2012-04-10 17:44:52 +0000 UTC]

When you submit you can turn downloads off and add a dA watermark.
These would prevent this.
You could also watermark your own work.

Awesome tutorial~!! <33

I have a question, how do you get '__ week premium membership'?
I've seen many people with week premiums, how do you get them? Just curious.

Rueleer In reply to chishiu [2012-04-07 03:35:24 +0000 UTC]

You can't get weekly memberships. They only say 'weeks' because it's counting down to when the premium stops. You can only buy 1 month, 3 months and 12 month premiums. Hope this answered your question. ^U^
