Make money every time someone rings you + free advertisement

    Usually i would make an ebook out of this and sell it but this time i thought i just blog about it.

    There is a new service around that pays you up to $1 for every phone call you receive. It will probably annoy your callers so i had to find a way around it. I won't copy and paste the whole article here so just go ahead and read a full story here: make money every time someone rings you

    -edit-

    Looks like some people did not get paid by that company.

    I just read FAQ on brring.com it is $0.05 !! $1 is just for first 10 calls.

    ===
    How much can I make with Brring!?

    The amount you earn is driven by how many ads you deliver, so it depends on how many calls you receive. You typically receive $0.05 for every message, so 300 calls would earn $15.00. But you can make more. Right now, your first ten calls alone each earn $1.00.
    ===

    I do not know like you but I do not care much about working on getting 300 calls to get just $15.

    Worthless offer, but a lot of people here might get scammed by it in search of easy money. If you actually thinks $0.05 per call is a good deal, than you probably don't have enough money to buy an extra phone line for this (because you wouldn't want to annoy your friends) and find a way to get calls.

    Well I'm sorry for giving you cash generating ideas. You can go buy a worthless ebook instead or read John Cows blog about the stake he had in the restaurant and how good his ice cream was.

    This is old. They haven't paid anyone for awhile now. People that requested checks this last December still haven't received them. I wouldn't waste my time with this. It was a good idea though. I wish I got in on it when they were sending out checks.

    Or maybe I could do some affiliate marketing?

    Sorry I respect my friends and don't want them to listen to an ad everytime they call me just so I can make chump change.

    Maybe next time, you can con a few people with a $20 ebook that can pay for itself after 400 calls?

    Sorry for expressing my opinion.

    1) If you were to actually read my blog entry you would know that you generate phone calls from other sources and not your friends.

    2)
    What do you mean by that?

    You said you were thinking about making an ebook about it...

    As for the blog post itself that advocates spamming, have fun with that. If you actually make enough money to justify the waste of time it is posting classified ads, then good for you. But, you misinterpreted the product in the review saying you make "$1 or so" for each call.

    But i did not... I think about a lot of stuff. Yea, its unethical. I don't deny that. Sometimes i post blackhat methods. And yes, i don't deny misinterpreting the product. Its just an idea. I don't encourage anyone to use it. I did not even plug my referral link like most bloggers would have done. I just give people ideas and its up to them how they use it.

    These guys are IDIOTS. I make A TON of money off this and they have paid me. They dont even have the 0.05 cent per incoming call anymore, the only way to make money now is by *****.

    I have a better idea, because of course everyone is gonna talk shit and say
    i'm promoting them, blah, blah, blah, and of course everyone is gonna want some proof, so i am about to prove it right now.

    all im gonna say is you get 50 cents now per incoming call, but not just any incoming call... and before you run off to check their website they havent
    changed this on their website yet, but all of us who have brring accounts were notified directly by email... plus its posted on brrings blog.


    New Rewards Policy

    The key change in our reward policy is the elimination of call based rewards. These are the rewards that accrue each time someone calls your Brring number. Standard rewards have been $0.05 per call, with initial call rewards $1.00. We will continue to reward users who invite friends to use Brring and those who help target ads by profiling friends. Those rewards remain unchanged.

    Unfortunately during our beta test we have experienced an inordinate number of people flooding the system with fraudulent calls (numbers posted on Craig’s List under false pretexts, setting up multiple accounts, etc.). By eliminating the incentive to do so, we will improve the service for everyone.

    We will pay all legitimate call-based rewards, including initial call rewards, earned through June 15, 2008. You do not have to redeem rewards by this date, only earn them. Finally, we will be introducing easier ways to redeem rewards more quickly. Stay tuned for further announcements.

    Thank You

    Thank you for using Brring during our beta test. We appreciate your patience during our growing pains. Most importantly, thank you for helping us realize what works and doesn’t work, and for helping us shape and improve the service.

    Sincerely,

    Brring, Inc.

    So let me prove this real qwik , this is a goldmine and you can make a shitload of money off this, so mightyb... PM me your brring number
    ... i will prove how quick and easy you can make money by increasing your
    brring account balance by $10 in about 15 minutes. You want $20 ? i can do that too... in less than 30 minutes, any amount it do-able... but its not at the snap of your fingers, time is involved... not much, but its still a factor... the more money you want in your account the more time its gonna take, of course the money you'll see in your brring account is yours , but its gonna take MY TIME to get it there, if i did this for everyone with a brring account number i'd be wasting my time... i do it for my own account all the time, if you want any more than what i earn for your acct, i'd expect some kind of compensation. after i earn this money into your acct ( notice i said earn, there is work involved, not hard and not much, but its still work..) after i earn the cash to your account, cash out. you dont have to, but what good is earning all this money if in the end brring dont pay right? so to prove ANOTHER naysayer wrong, cash it out. when you get the check you can take a screenshot of it and post it. you can also take screenshots of your account balance before and after to show these naysayers proof.

    oh, and btw... i havent even given my brring number out to friends,
    so my friends dont call and hear stupid ads.



    oh, and they'll also be paying out to paypal:

    May 3, 2008 at 9:58 am
    We have added a PayPal payment option to our development queue but at present we have no one actively working on that functionality.

    We recognize that this is a popular request and we will get it done.


    i HATE naysayers
