    Heya guys,
    I just used a Somoto tool for getting paid per install for a product I had published,
    I'm a fresh newbie in monetizing software... Hope I had a good choice :)


    What other tools do you recommend? Brands, products etc?

    Thanks!

    PS - The online marketing forum round here has helped me in ways I can't describe!

    I'm using Somoto with a download that I offer and in my experience their installer converts better than some of the other monetization company's that I tested.

    Hi,

    A bit late response but I'm also looking for alternatives....

    I recently found some company called opencandy (google them) I don't have any experience with them yet as I'm still waiting for a response from them...

    I'll update when I'll have something.

    Cheers

    /Eric

    On my opinion Somoto with their project betterinstaller.com is a SCAM
    Haim Treistman is a representative of http://www.somoto.net/
    has promised to pay $50 for 2 test days ("ill pay for those 2 days upfront")
    in dashboard (dashboard.betterinstaller.com/) I see only
    los.jpg
    but in my Paypal account ZERO
    Now I'm trying to find out the meaning of the words "Upfront" and "Complited"
    When I asked about payment - Haim explained by skype:
    [01.05.2013 16:47:58] Haim Treistman: yes ..we sent a request to payoneer and they will process it very soon.
    Im still waiting
    So be careful and try to imagine how much you can lose (money or time), with their net-40 payments.

    I want to apologize to Somoto for premature conclusions. As I understand it, problems were caused due to technical issues.
    I have received my second payment after 40 days. And I'm really impressed with revenue!!!

    I also have a good expierience with them, got good tips from their account manager to optimize revenue.
    In the end i switched most positions to a CPA deal, as it was converting better.
    They even made an exception in their (slow) default payment schedule to send some money upfront.

    Well, to be honest I'm not very happy with them.

    My AM, Liran, promised special terms for me, upfront payments every month, candies, and a new car (lol kidding on the candies and car). But he promised to pay $500 extra for every three months that I stay with them (which I do not believe).

    What I got so far was $200 since November, referring to the upfront payment for that month.

    As I made $382 in November he did not pay the rest ($182.58), because they have a minimum payout threshold of $200.
    But wtf, if I made $382 in November??? Why he paid $200 up front and not $182.58? :/

    In this month, January, I still haven't received these $182.58, and also no upfront payment for December...
    In December I made $633.57.

    He said that they had problems with upfront payments for that month.
    Anyone else here who do not receive the December upfront payment?

    Any help on this would be welcome!

    For now I removed their banner/float bar.
    Let's see how it goes...
