Sharemagnet.com – Share And Get Paid

February 10, 2012

Sharemagnet.com bases its service in the idea that the best promotion you can get for anything is word of mouth. Which by the way, I think it’s true. Any marketing campaign, any piece of advertising in all kinds of media, is not as powerful as what recommendations among peers can do. We trust, more than anyone, our friends and acquaintances. Advertising and marketing exist mainly because of brands which have not succeeded in generating much buzz for their products or services. And what they try to achieve above all other goals is to generate that word of mouth when it doesn’t exist.

So if common people are the best promoters, wouldn’t it be fair that they get some… recognition? Sharemagnet.com is here to give anyone who recommends something to his contacts on the internet, some deserved revenue. But it is not about giving benefits only to a bunch of guys, but also for the companies which look for some promotion.

How does it work?

It is very easy to start using the site. Any company signs up to post “magnets” (any product or service) at Sharemagnet.com. When sharers get interested in what that company is offering through a share magnet, they will spread the word to their contacts on the web. Then, advertisers will pay sharers for driving traffic to their sites.

Advertisers will find then a great way to enter people’s conversations, at least, internet based conversations. In this way, Sharemagnet expands the channels to reach out for consumers, and brands will be able make their products known in a more direct way. Because sharers will recommend the products based on their tastes and preferences, and usually contacts know about them, they’ll have more confidence in that recommendation than in a billboard.

On the other hand, anyone could see a product which is not interesting for him, but will think about someone who may be interested. So it won’t hurt that person to share a short message through the web just letting them know. Recommendations like the “Hey John, I know you like horror movies so I’d thought you’d like this one” will help a lot of people who don’t usually pay attention to advertising to find good products. Also, companies will get more clients.

So Sharemagnet.com converts the power of word of mouth into money, for those who like to share. I think that explaining on the site how payments are calculated would help more users to start using the page.

meetOOu.com – Share Your Knowledge And Earn Money

January 17, 2012

A new marketplace where knowledge is bought and sold, on meetOOu you can connect with people who can teach you these things you’ve always wanted to know at a price you can meet. And also, to market your skills and profit from your knowledge. The site works in both ways, with you being able to connect with others over live video. Which is the one and only way you could pick up most skills, obviously. Learning to play an instrument is something that can really be done only when you’re actually seeing how notes are being played. And the same can be said about pretty much everything. No amount of words and explanations could beat a single live example.

Experts and service providers are called “gOOrus”, and any person who knows a lot about anything can become one. And charge these prices he deems as fair for his knowledge, too. If you become a gOOru, you’re the one who sets down how much you’ll be paid. Of course, overpricing your services won’t help. The meetOOu community is so wide that people who can teach these very same things for more reasonable prices are sure to be around, and they’ll be the ones getting all the attention you aren’t getting.

Kly.so – Earn Money With Short URLs

November 13, 2011

A URL shortening service that lets you earn money for every link that you share? It looks like a good idea on paper, doesn’t it? Yet, that doesn’t mean such a concept would translate into the kind of service people would actively use. We have already seen our share of web tools for having URLs shortened and spread in a way that meant every click would let us earn some cash. That’s what Byb.me and Yvy.me were all about. And Kly.so is the newest service to let us have our shortened links turned into an income.

By using Kly.so, you can have family-friendly advertisements added to all of your shortened URLs. You’ll have to get lots of people to click on them to see some money, as 1000 clicks will give you $4.

The minimum payout is $5. And you always know how many clicks you still need to get since you’re provided with statistics that are updated in real time, and detailed revenue reports.

The big question is, will this be enough to make people use this service? And recommend it to their friends? That doesn’t seem very likely. None of the services mentioned in the first paragraph have managed to become remotely popular, and Kly.so is almost identical to them. We need some fresh ideas, people. As someone told me recently, “If plan A doesn’t work, there’s still 25 other letters to go”. Time to move on, and spice things up a little for folks to get more involved…

Videofy.me – Video Blogging Platform

October 12, 2011

Presented as a new video service for blogs, what Videofy does is to let every single person who feels naturally attracted to cameras indulge in this passion and generate an income while doing so. Videofy makes it easy for such people to publish their videos somewhere everybody else is going to be able to see them, and have them monetized by way of preroll ads.

The greatness of this service lies in how open it is. Basically, just anybody can sign up for an account and start monetizing his videos. This stands in stark contrast to YouTube’s MO – the popular video portal offers revenue share on ads to selected users only. You must have an invitation to benefit from that. And no, you can’t buy one on eBay.

This Swedish startup has already amassed more than 40,000 users in its home country, and now it has opened up worldwide. Registration is free, and it’s completed in a few steps by following this link. Its creators claim that some of its Swedish users are earning as much as $7000 for their involvement. We’ll see what American users report when the time comes…

Vinswer.com – Sell Video Answers

September 1, 2011

Looking for a way to profit from your knowledge, and earn some quick money? Well, who isn’t nowadays? This is a service that makes such a thing really easy. All you need to have in order to get started is a website of your very own, as Vinswer is a widget that enables people to connect with you through live video chat, and get answers to any question they might have that fall in your area of expertise.

All that people need to do in order to actually ask you anything is having a PayPal account, as that’s how payments are handled. You won’t be charged anything for embedding the chat on your site, and you won’t be charged for these connections that are made either.

And it’s very important to mention that Vinswer chats are also actually embeddable on blogs and social network profiles, too. And yes, that includes Facebook.

In all cases, registration to the service takes less than 1 minute, and it’s over in two simplistic steps. Even my grandma could do it, and sell all the culinary knowledge she has accumulated all through her life.

DailyPoll.me – Answer Polls And Earn Prizes

July 27, 2011

This is a social site with a strong gaming element, as users are invited to answer a poll each day in order to get points they will eventually be able to redeem for real life prizes. They won’t be alone in that, of course – they will be going against other site users that are doing exactly the same. The site actually features a leaderboard that makes it transparently clear who has answered the most polls (and more successfully, too). The idea is to encourage everybody to do their best. And that goes well beyond submitting answers, as users of the site can actually contribute their own polls for everybody else to answer.

They can deal with mostly everything – their favorite social networks, their favorite mobile devices, their best-loved athletes… Just anything can be asked on DailyPoll.me. But if you intend to use it, be reasonable – only if you ask something which has true widespread appeal will people be enticed to answer it massively. And only if that happens will you actually have a chance to climb higher and higher on the DailyPoll.me leaderboard.

Razzi.me – Be Paid For Sharing Photos

April 28, 2011

For most casual users, Facebook is enough for sharing their images and pictures. Yet, for those who need a little bit more there are platforms like Razzi.me. Razzi.me is a social site in which images can be uploaded for all to see. And those who do upload their photos to the site are paid according to how many people see them.

So, it can be said that Razzi.me is a bit like the YouTube Partner Program, only that here everything has to do with pictures, not with videos.

On Razzi.me, images can be both uploaded manually and imported from Flickr. And an iPhone app is available for further convenience.

A platform like Razzi.me is obviously going to appeal to people such as budding photographers who are looking for a break. It is not that they will become famous beyond their wildest dreams for submitting a picture or two here, it is just that a specialized network such as this one makes it easier for people looking for talent to find it.

SalaryShare.me – Share How Much You Earn

April 18, 2011

Ask any average worker and he will tell you how he feels – nay, how he is sure – that he is being underpaid. That is something deeply ingrained into human nature, and nothing is going to change it anytime soon. However, sites like SalaryShare.com are here to let people know how right or wrong they are to complain like they do.

The dynamics of SalaryShare have users creating salaries pool to which they can invite all their coworkers to (anonymously) contribute how much they are earning. These figures will then become viewable by all the people that had been invited to take part of the pool, and everybody will get to realize to which extent his discontent was well-funded.

And a site such as this one can also be used among friends. Everything would work in exactly the same way – someone creates the pool, he invites his friends to disclose how much they earn (but without having to disclose their identities) and at the end of it all everything will become comparable on the spot.

Imgrent.com – Share Your Images And Earn Money

April 18, 2011

Imgrent is a new image sharing platform, and it hopes to draw users in by offering them money for their involvement. That is, on Imgrent.com you can have your images uploaded and hosted online, and share the relevant links with all your friends. And when a certain number of people have watched such images, then you will be paid an amount that is going to vary according to the actual countries these visits came from.

Currently, you can earn as much as $ 2 per 1000 visits. Again, bear in mind that everything will depend on where did these visits came from.

And as far as the actual upload capabilities of the site are concerned, these are functional at best. You can upload up to 10 separate files, amounting to as much as 100 MB each. And bulk uploads are supported, so that you are freed from the onerous process of having to upload files one by one.

GhostBloggers.net – Sell Blog Posts

March 1, 2011

Did your blog fail to bring the income that you were sure it would bring? Well, at least you got acquainted with concept of blogging and you polished your writing skills along the way. And that knowledge is something that you could put to very good use on a site like this one, so nothing has been in vain.

GhostBloggers is a marketplace for blog posts. On this site, people can advertise blog posts that they are willing to sell for an amount of money that they decide on themselves. These posts can (and do) deal with mostly anything you could ever think of – everything from how to make money on a website to how to clean electronics in a safe way, it is all found on GhostBloggers.

So, this new marketplace stands as a really useful resource for all these bloggers that have failed to generate an income by any other means. That is (sadly) not an uncommon scenario, and I know for a fact that many people would feel inclined to give this site a good look to learn more about how it works personally.

iSpoot.com – Share Shortened Links & Be Paid

January 30, 2011

The large number of URL shorteners that offer you money in exchange for using them, and the lack of a leading service in such an area simply highlights how the concept lacks any real depth. And a site like Spoot is not really going to make a difference.

iSpoot lets you shorten links and have them shared on the spot. And it pays you for doing so – you will be paid $ 5 for every 1000 people that have clicked on any link that you have created and spread out.

The minimum payout is $ 50, and payments are handled via PayPal. And you will know how close you are to reaching your quota thanks to the analytics that are provided.

I have seen many, many sites that let you do the same already. Not a single one of them caught my eye, and neither did they catch the eye or the imagination of the general public. I find it hard to believe that a site like this one can succeed, but you might of course think otherwise.

Byb.me – Earn Money By Sharing Short URLs

December 22, 2010

Are you the kind who does nothing unless he gets something tangible in return? Because if you are, this is a site that calls for your attention.

Byb.me is one of these URL shorteners that encourage people to use it by offering them a monetary retribution. That is, anything you share through this site that gets picked up by other people and clicked through will translate into an income for you.

The best way to accomplish that (IE, to get people to click on your links) is to actually have them shared on social sites like Facebook and Twitter. But blogs and forums are also spots that should never be missed, if only because interactions there take on an even more specific nature. Breaking the ice might be harder at first, but if you manage to do it then you are ensured a good number of people clicking on your links.

The way everything currently works, a thousand visitors will generate about $2.00. And the minimum payout is $ 10.00.

BornToSell.com – Screening Covered Calls For You

December 10, 2010

In case you are not familiar with the concept, covered calls are one of the best investment strategies available. They are easy to get acquainted with and not very risky – industry professionals recognize them as the one conservative investment strategy that uses options. Covered calls imply a buy-write strategy that has the same payoffs as writing a put option (provided an equilibrium between the actual call option and the underlying instrument which is transacted is reached, that is).

Well, Born To Sell is a new website that makes covered calls something understandable and usable by just anybody. The site acts as a screener that any person who already owns stocks can use to identify opportunities and write options, as well as a search engine for already-existing covered calls. As it stands right now, the site will let you search over 150,000 covered calls at once.

And knowing these concepts might be a bit hard to grasp at first, the ones behind this site have come up with a comprehensive tutorial explaining just how to use such calls in order to generate a tangible income much faster.

Adby.Me – A New Advertising Platform

December 10, 2010

A brand-new (and very original) advertising platform, Adby.Me makes for the social streaming of ads. Through the site, people can choose exactly which ads they want to share with their social contacts. And the actual process in which ads are spread around involves adding slogans to them.

That is, if you want to share an ad about Pepsi you can include a slogan in which you profess your loving for the drink, and have it streamed to all the social sites that you want by copying and pasting the ad link that will be produced.

And once the ad has been published, your reward will come in the shape of a gift card for Amazon.

So, this is the first platform in which ads are spread by copywriting them. It is a different concept for sure, and one that will work best when the copywriter has a homogeneous network, IE a list of social contacts bound by the same common interests. That will ensure a much better reception of the ads being shared.

Shrtn.co – Share Shortened Links And Earn Money

November 18, 2010

What would you do if you wanted people to massively begin using a URL shortener that you have devised yourself? I think that nine out of ten people would answer that question in the very same way: by offering people an economic incentive for trimming and sharing links through it. Well, that is exactly what this new shortener does. It is named Shrtn, and it works by introducing affiliate links into the URLs that you reduce and spread through it. Every time someone buys something via the link that is featured as part of your short URL, then you are getting a commission.

This system is very interesting in every sense, but it is particularly appealing from a conceptual point of view since you are saved the tediousness of having to create an account with each affiliate programme that supports the shopping site you want to link to.

And something that is really likable about Shrtn is that you can always give the money that you are earning away, and benefit the charity (or charities) of your choice.
