Hanrey, no need to be sorry man. I actually understand you. You've been here for 6 years and you've probably grown to love this forum. Times are hard and you saw a seemingly nice income generating opportunity that will pay you per referral, and you decided to advertise it here to earn a few bucks. No shame in that, bro. It's not as if you just joined this forum for the purpose of spamming. You've been here for a long time, contributed some nice nude photographs here and there... a simple referral link should be forgivable for someone like you.
However, the income opportunity you're presenting is, well, not really that good.
It's not a scam, mind you. It's not as if it will take money from you and run away with it. One of its selling points is that you won't be asked to pay for anything.
It is neither a pyramid scheme as well. Since no one will be investing money, you won't get paid from subsequent subscribers' cash, and so on and so forth.
What this is is a very low level, low pay website that will make you do some tasks with ridiculously abysmal rewards.
Allow me to explain...
Eimimo, the company (term used loosely because I don't think they're actually incorporated anywhere) will indeed pay you $10 once you sign up. This $10 will go to your account. You won't be able to withdraw it just yet. The withdrawal threshold is $20. You will have to "earn" $10 more to be able to actually get to see and touch your cash.
How do you earn that $10?
Eimimo has yet to say, but based on the model it is using, I am certain that it's either of 6 things:
1. By asking you to submit your email and read the gazillion email messages they'll be sending your way;
2. By asking you sign up to a gazillion websites;
3. By asking you to complete a gazillion surveys;
4. By asking you to download a gazillion software programs;
5. By asking you to click a gazillion ads that they will provide to you; and/or
6. By referring a gazillion people to their program.
Their philosophy is simple. It's called the "carrot on a stick" technique. By dangling $10 in front of you, they believe that there is a higher probability that you will do what they will ask you to do so that you'll be able to encase the amount they have deposited on your account. This way, they can pay you lower for the actions they will ask you to perform, because they have you focused on the $10 to actually compare their rates with the amount that other similar programs are offering.
In Tagalog, pwede ka nilang baratin, at bawi-bawi sila sa $10 na ibibigay sa yo.
There are many paid to click (PTC), paid to read (PTR), and paid to complete surveys (I don't know the abbreviation for this one) out there. All of them pay minuscule amounts. Eimimo, the company you're promoting, will actually pay you an even smaller amount.
All of them, Eimimo included, are not viable online income opportunities.
Let's take a look at PTC offers. Most PTC offers pay one cent every time you click on an ad they will provide. One cent! Imagine what you'll tell your kid if he asks you what you do for a living. "Son, daddy's busy because he's loading up an ad which will pay him one cent once he clicks on it." Ridiculous, right? Imagine what your kid will say. "Tangina dad! Mas malaki pa yung baryang napulot ko sa canteen nung recess!"
Do you know how much the company will be earning per click? At least $0.50 (they're targeting ads with high CPCs). I know because I USED to own three of these websites.
That's even forgivable. Some companies will ask you to sign up for particular offers. They will pay somewhere between five to ten cents per successful signup. Initially, you may think that it's a much better offer than the measly one cent per click that PTC companies extend, right? But do you know how much a company earns per signup? AT LEAST $1.25. There are even signups that pay a high $37. I know because I currently own one such website.
It's so profitable that I dumped the 3 websites I previously operated.
My point is this... instead of being the horse that chases the carrot being dangled in front of him, you can be the carriage driver doing the dangling.
I'll teach you the basic on how to start. The rest is up to you.
The important term here is CPA. It stands for Cost Per Action. Don't forget that. CPA is the single most profitable entry-level online income opportunity on the web... BAR NONE!
Do your research. Find CPA programs that are worth the time (I recommend Peerfly.com, I don't think they require phone interviews, and even if they do, such interviews will be conducted by non-Americans who speak really poor English so you won't have to be intimidated).
Once you find a CPA program, don't join yet.
Acquaint yourself with the basics - JUST THE BASICS - of internet marketing. Focus on these areas:
1. SEO, or search engine optimization;
2. Article marketing;
3. Video marketing;
4. Social media marketing (optional because some offers do not allow it);
5. Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising (optional); and
6. Pay Per View (PPV) advertising (optional).
If you're not familiar with these, don't fret. They're very easy to learn. Just give yourself a day or two and you'll have them mastered.
I uploaded a CPA ebook for newbies just for you. It covers just the basics, but they should be enough to teach you what to do...
http://www.mediafire.com/?giw4jiz8rmz7quaOnce you have an idea how internet marketing works, you can join the CPA programs you think are worth your time.
They may or may not accept you. Rejection is very normal, even for seasoned internet marketers. It's just the way things are. If one CPA program rejects you, try others. Actually, submit your application to as many CPA programs as you want. There is no rule that disallows this practice.
Don't be afraid to try CPA, because you can earn WITHOUT spending anything. You can use a free website like blogger.com or squidoo.com, or you can promote CPA offers without even having a website. Just study what was presented above and you'll learn how.
The company you're promoting and other similar PTC and survey companies out there? Trust me... ALL OF THEM are either AdSense or CPA affiliates. I don't recommend AdSense because the pay is lower and you'll need your own website. CPA is so much better, and as you will eventually realize, so much easier.
By becoming a CPA affiliate for any of the CPA programs out there, you won't have to be content with mere cents. You will be earning a dollar upwards per action completed. And once you've mastered this... it is very, very possible to earn a hundred dollars upwards per day.
Konting tiyaga lang, pare ko. Learning is the hardest part. Once you've got it down, earning will be very, very easy. So easy in fact that you'll be laughing at the people who actually join these ridiculous pay to whatever websites... just like how I'm secretly laughing at you right now.
But you can turn the tables on me, bro. Who knows, next year, you'll be earning close to 2 million and you'll be the one who'll laugh at me.
Good luck!
