    I've got some easy money here. I need content. LOTS of content. So much content it'll make your eyes bleed and your backside and wallet fat. Well, maybe not that much. But I do need content. :)

    Here's the site: http://www.onliance.com

    We are a growing site and I want it to grow more. To do that I need YOU!! Yes YOU! With the nimble fingers and sharp mind! I want to pick your brain of every little tidbit of relevant information and pay you for it. I want to know what you know. I also want you to tell everyone else what you know...through the site of course. :) I want you to tell everyone you know that they can do the same thing.

    Here are the basic rates:

    Forum Topic Reply - $0.01
    These are for topics not started by you. The reply must be at least 4-5 sentences, must be complete sentences, and must be relevant to the topic and any previous replies.

    New Forum Topic; Any Single Category - $0.05
    For each new topic you start. You are required to respond to any replies to your topic for as long as the topic remains relevant and active. You do not get paid the Forum Topic Reply rate when replying to a Forum Topic you started. Each Forum Topic must be unique and relevant to the category in which it's posted. The following categories are excluded from this rate:
    Conduct
    General Discussion
    Breaking News (conditional)
    Breaking Economic News (conditional)
    While no specific rate will be paid for these categories, some exceptions may be made.

    One Forum Topic In Each Category - $0.10
    This is a bonus earned when you have posted one relevant topic in each of the forum categories, including those categories on the exception list above.

    Unique Video (created by you; not posted anywhere else) - $1.00
    For video files of your own creation that you have not submitted to another site, such as YouTube. Please contact me for submission instructions of the actual video file. The video must be relevant to the site content, must be unique, and you must be the current copyright holder of the video and it's content. Proof of copyright ownership is HIGHLY recommended. The video must not have any kind of "watermark" with the exception of a title at the begining or credit at the end. Upon acceptance of the video, the copyright is transfered to me.

    Unique Video (created by you; posted somewhere else) - $0.50
    For video files of your own creation that you may have submitted to another site, such as YouTube. Please contact me for submission instructions of the actual video file. The video must be relevant to the site content, must be unique, and you must be the current copyright holder of the video and it's content. Proof of copyright ownership is HIGHLY recommended. The video must not have any kind of "watermark" with the exception of a title at the begining and/or credit at the end. Upon acceptance of the video, the copyright is transfered to me.

    Unique Video (general) - $0.05
    For video files that may or may not be of your own creation that exist on another site, such as YouTube, where you don't have the orginal video file. Please contact me with the URL. The video must be relevant to the site content, must be unique, and you must be the current copyright holder of the video and it's content. Please provide me the URL.

    Extraordinary Content (Image, Forum Topic, Video, Article, Image) - $1.00
    This is a bonus for extraordinary unique content. If I feel that the content submitted or the individual who submitted it exceeds my expectations for this program, this bonus will be paid. It is possible to recieve this bonus multiple times.

    5 links to the site - $0.01
    By promoting this site and posting links and/or banners on other sites, you can also get paid. You must provide me with the URLs where the links and/or banners are shown. If you want to use banners, contact me and I will provide a graphic of the requested size. The links and/or banners must remain visible on the referring site for no less than two weeks.

    MySpace friend - $0.01
    Add us as a friend on MySpace. http://www.myspace.com/onliance



    All content must be unique (created by you) and relevant.Debate, discussion, and disagreements are encouraged. Opinions are HIGHLY encouraged. Condescension is unnacceptable. Ignorance is tolerated but expect an informed rebuttal. I encourage everyone to strive for excellence in your content. Doing so will not go unnoticed. :)

    To participate, you must meet the following criteria:

    1) You must be able to write a complete, coherent sentence in English.
    2) You must have a PayPal account I can pay you through.
    3) You must register in the forums and provide a complete profile, including avatar image.
    4) You must contact me with your email address and forum name so I know who to pay.

    Easy enough? Failure to do any one of those four items may result in non-payment.

    There are NO defined limits for how many people can participate. This means you and everyone you know!

    To ensure that we have current, relevant content, all participants are required to check out one of our sponsors at least once a day for content suggestions and ideas. These can be found on the main page of our site and in other locations throughout. If you are unable to find any decent suggestions or ideas through our sponsors please contact me and I will make a suggestion. Our forum is also a good place to find ideas to discuss.

    Payments will be made once a week. Earnings less than $1 will be rolled over to the next week. You must earn at least $1 to be paid. Only the first 10 items you post/submit each day will be eligible for payment (people need time to read it, you know). Content must be approved and accepted before earnings are counted.

    I have a flexible budget and I am generous. I'm critical, but fair. I will be watching for people who appear to be abusing the program. Any suspicion of abuse and you will not be paid. If suspected of abuse, you will be notified and suspended and may even be terminated from the program with all unpaid earnings forfeited. You may, however, plead your case. I will listen and do my best to be fair, but my decision after that will be swift and final.

    Finally, I may suspend this program at any time without notice. If that happens, those already participating will be notified and payments will be made at that time on the terms mentioned above. Any unpaid earnings less than $1 will be forfeited.

    If you are interested, PM me....NOW!

    I'm relaxing a couple of the requirements. The following paragraphs replace the ones above.

    Forum Topic Reply - $0.01
    These are for topics not started by you. The reply must be complete sentences, and must be relevant to the topic and any previous replies. (no more sentence requirement)

    New Forum Topic; Any Single Category - $0.05
    For each new topic you start. You are required to respond to any replies to your topic for as long as the topic remains relevant and active. You do not get paid the Forum Topic Reply rate when replying to a Forum Topic you started. Each Forum Topic must be unique and relevant to the category in which it's posted. (no more exclusions)

    5 links to the site - $0.05 (increased rate)
    By promoting this site and posting links and/or banners on other sites, you can also get paid. You must provide me with the URLs where the links and/or banners are shown. If you want to use banners, contact me and I will provide a graphic of the requested size. The links and/or banners must remain visible on the referring site for no less than two weeks.




    The following requirements have been removed:

    They at least get room and board (such as it is).

    The laughably low rates you are offering for EVERYTHING you are wanting makes me wonder if you have even gone to the trouble to read through some of the threads and sections of this forum to get a clue what even the LOWEST going rates are for such content.

    Even the writers in India that can afford to work for less than what is a survivable rate in the US are most likely shaking their heads at this!

    We can forgive you once, because you are new to DP, for insulting our intelligence and talents with such ridiculous rate offers but you really should do a little research into the issue before you try convincing people that you are worth working for.

    Sorry - just a word to those wise enough to heed them.

    Alright then. As I said in the offer I am fair. I will compare rates to what others have and I will rework the offer. If you are still interested and feel that you can provide content relevant to the site, then by all means PM me. We can negotiate the rates.
