Why Can't We Just Get Paid

Why can't we just get paid? I can not understand why we have to have $100.00 in our google account before we get paid. I have money in my account, it's not even close to $100.00 but it's money that I worked for. It could take years to reach $100.00, what if I never get there, am I sitting here writing for nothing. When we work at a regular job we don't get told to wait until the cheque is at $1000.00 to get paid, no we get paid no matter how much it is. Even if we work for a few days in the 2 week pay period we still get our cheque even if it is a small amount, we earned it. What makes this different, we earned it and I think that they should send us our cheques. I worked on a site called Southern Charms and my first week I made way less then $100.00 but I got paid because I worked. I want my money from my blogs because I worked for it. Let me know if there is anyone else that feels the same way. If they don't want to mail the cheques out they can put it in my paypal account, I don't mind losing some of it on the paypal charges, I just want to get paid.

Thank you bugsey

Thank you bugsey, that means alot to me. It is really nice to know that I am not the only one who thinks we should get paid even if we don't have $100.00 in our account.

My only complaint

realitycheck's picture

That's my only complaint about this site. I wonder if they assume most bloggers will give up before the $100 mark. That's my guess. I completely understand that there has to be some system or else people would be requesting checks every time a click is made. Many other sites I have seen will pay out at $5, $25 or $50. I think that's WAY more fair, especiallt for those of us who REALLY try.
My only worry is that we will get close to our mark and then something will happen. This just happened to me yesterday with another company. I earned my $49 toward my $50 minimum. Suddenly I got an email saying my account was banned. No explination. I sent emails. No response. What can ya do?

They banned your account?

How weird... something's not right there..

As for everyone else complaining about not getting a payout on this site until you reach $100... I don't think that's a Blogger Party rule, that's just Google Adsense's policy... and if it's really going to take you several years before you can "cash out"... and you're in this to make money, then maybe there are better ways to spend your time... sometimes it's a matter of figuring out what works for you.

We need to do something

We need to do something, if there is alot of us complaining about it maybe something will be done, they can't ban all of us. We work so hard to write blogs to get paid and they won't pay us until we hit $100.00, they should pay us at the end of the month only if we hit like realitycheck said..$5. $25. or $50. I want the money I worked for. We earned that money in our google accounts, pay us.

Vittoria – April 15, 2006 – 7:30pm

I've heard that about Google

I've heard that people get banned shortly before pay out. Hope that's not true.

I'm sure that having the amount at $100 is beneficial to Google. For one, like realitycheck said, people give up. And second, paying out less often saves them money. Fewer checks, less postage, less manpower...

I am getting tired of working for free

I am getting tired of working for free, I write and make money and they don't give me my money. Realitycheck is right, people do give up, it is going to take me a year to make $100.00. If they were to start paying out to people that have $5. $25 or $50. that would make me write more, it is easier to get to these amounts then to $100.00. You know, they don't have to send cheques, they can send it to a paypal account, I am willing to take a small loss, I just want to get paid something.

Helium Knowlege dot com is GOOD

But I think they LIMITED and decided to "choose" the members. They do pay when you reach 25 bucks. I was paid. You can make 5 dollars doing NOTHING writing the most stupid replies.....

bugsey – April 15, 2006 – 9:39pm

IF we wer all Honest we could do THIS --- BUT ...

bugsey's picture

I saw this.... (cut and paste from helium knowledge and Oprah )

Here's what you need to do. . .

STEP 1
Ok, the very first and most important thing you need to do is SAVE this page in your Favourites so you can come back to it if you lose it. Done that? Ok, if you're not already a PayPal user, you need to click on the PayPal link below and SIGN UP. It takes just 2 minutes!

Be sure to use the link below so you can sign up for a free BUSINESS account. You'll need to have a BUSINESS account (and not a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to receive credit card payments from other people. (Tip: Cut and paste the link and open&it in a new window so you don't lose this page)

STEP 2
It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive.

So the first thing to do when you have your Business PayPal account is to send a $20 payment from your PayPal account to the FIRST email address in the list below. To do this successfully, follow these simple steps:

1. Login to PayPal and click on the Send Money tab;

2. In the 'Recipient's Email' field enter the FIRST email address of list of 5 below;

3. In the 'Amount' field enter;20 (this is your $20 payment);

4. In the 'Type' field select Service (though it doesn't really matter what you put here, this is for PayPal's own records)

5. In the 'Note' field enter Please add me to your mailing list. (Be certain to add this note, as this is what keeps this program legal).

6. Finally, click on the Continue button to complete the payment. That's it!

When you send your $20 payment to the first address in the list, do it with a great big smile on your face because as you sow, so shall you reap!

Here's the current list: (make own current list) --- of 20 emails of honest people.

After you have transferred a $20 payment to the email address at the top of the list, something very eerie happens. It gives you an indescribable, overwhelming sense of certainty, belief and conviction in the system. You've just proved to yourself that, because you have done it, there must be a great number of other people ready to do exactly the same. Thus you have now seen for yourself, first hand, that this business actually works!

STEP 3
Once you've sent a $20 payment to the address at the top of the list (along with your note - this is VERY important!), the next thing you need to do is to obtain a copy of the contents of this page, as you'll be sending it out (as an email message or by advertising your page, like I have done) to at least 40 people (keep in mind that 40 is a good numberof people to reach, but with all the different ways of advertising for free on the internet the amount of views and signups under you could well exceed into the hundreds or thousands if you wish....the more people who join the more profitable for everyone on the list, including you)The copy that you will send out will contain YOUR email address at number 5 in the list - having deleted the address at Number 1 in the list, and moving the others up a position.

The best way to do this is you can copy and paste into emails to your family and friends. You can copy and paste it and put ad's on the internet on message boards etc. Or you can create your own free website, by copying and pasting. There are many free webpages you can build on the web. For example 2 good ones are www.geocities.com or http://www.cmlb.net. Both of these are simple to use. And the best part of having this info on a website for people to follow is you can post links to your site on paid to click websites or paid to read email sites, for great advertising. There are countless ways to get more people like me and you involved in this amazing program. 

To copy and paste this text into an email just do the following:

A. Go to the toolbar at the top of the window and select Edit and then Select All

B. Go to the toolbar again and select Edit and then Copy.

C. Start (compose) a new email message (PLAIN TEXT so everyone can view it!).

D. Fill in your email address and subject line, and then click in the main message area.

E. Go to Edit and Paste to paste the text into your new email message. Now you can edit and format the message text in any way you want! However, it's best to just leave the text as it is because you want your email to be read by everyone who receives it!

The only thing you need to make sure of is that YOUR email address is at Number 5 in the list in STEP 2. Of course, the address that was previously at Number 1 should have been removed, and the other email addresses should have been moved up a position to accommodate yours at Number 5. As long as you have done this correctly, your email is ready for sending!

A word of warning! Don't be tempted to add your email address to position 1 in order to earn money fast! It doesn't work like that! If you do that, you will ONLY reach the people you directly send emails to, and then your address will be immediately removed from the Number 1 place and you won't reach thousands of people! But, if you add your name to the Number 5 position, there will be literally tens of thousands of people receiving and sending email's later - when your name is at the Number 1 spot!!!

F. Once you've got your email message ready, send out a minimum of 40 copies of the email - but only to people you know, or to people who respond to MLM offers, or to people who've sent YOU offers. By sending this letter and the payment via EMAIL, the response time is EXTREMELY fast.......... ELECTRONIC TRANSFER INTERNET FAST!!! That's why it takes only a few days for those $20 payments to start flooding into your PayPal account!

THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT! The whole process should take you about 30 minutes to complete.

BE PREPARED TO GET EXCITED.... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Half an hour of easy work is all that's needed - no capital outlay, no postage stamps, no printing, copying or waiting, and the concept is 100% legal.

Within 30 days, over $60,000 cash will pass through your PayPal account. And that's GUARANTEEDKeep a copy of your email safe so that you can use it again whenever you need more cash!

Here's how it works:

When you send out your emails, your email address will initially be at Number 5 in the list. That's the best position it can be in at this stage if you want to make serious money. The response-rate for this program is much higher than any typical email marketing campaign for a number of reasons, which are explained later. As long as you send your emails to people who are likely to be interested in this program, on average, you can expect a response from about 25% of the people you send to. But let's be extremely conservative here and assume that you receive an average response rate of only 12.5%. . .

If you send out your email to 40 different people, you can expect at least 5 of those people to do exactly what you did (12.5% of 40 = 5). By this time,your email address will have moved up to Number 4 in the list, and this list will now have reached around 200 people (5 x 40).

Out of those 200 people, you can expect at least 25 of them to participate(12.5% of 200 = 25), so that's a further 1,000 emails (25 x 40) being sent out and your email address will have risen to Number 3 in the list.

Out of those 1,000 people, you can expect at least 125 of them to participate (12.5% of 1,000 = 125), so that's a further 5,000 emails (125x 40) being sent out with you now at the Number 2 position.

Out of those 5,000 people, you can expect at least 625 of them to respond (12.5% of 5,000 = 625), so that's 25,000 emails (625 x 40) being sent out with YOUR ADDRESS at the Number 1 spot!

Now, out of those 25,000 people, you can expect around 3,125 of them to respond (12.5% of 25,000 = 3,125). And since you will now be at NUMBER 1 in the list,you will receive: $62,500 (3,125 x $20).

So, when your name starts to hit the Number 1 position within the next few days, it will be YOUR turn to collect the money! Over the course of 30 days, this money will be sent to you by a few thousand people just like yourself - who are willing to invest half an hour to receive around $60,000 or more in cash! The first payments will arrive within a few days, and they will continue at the rate of about 100 payments per day for about 30 days. After that time, the volume of payments begins to taper off as your email address vacates the Number 1 position.

That's all you need to do! There will be around $60,000 in $20 payments waiting for you in your PayPal account within the next few weeks. $60,000 for just 30 minutes work! This is real money that you can spend on anything you wish! Just deposit it to your own bank account or spend it directly from your PayPal account!!! It's just that easy!!!

I think it's WORTH IT, don't you?

Remember, the 12.5% example above is assuming that 35 out of the 40 people you send your email to will do absolutely nothing except delete your email. However, if you follow the plan correctly and send your emails only to people who are likely to want to participate, you can expect a typical response-rate of around 25%. Hence, the 12.5% example is only given as a worst-case-scenario. Additionally, the above example assumes that each participant will only send out 40 emails. Imagine what would happen if each participant sent out 1,000 emails instead of just 40! Believe me, many people will do this and much more!

Consider this! Millions of people surf the Internet every single day, all over the world! Plus there are 50,000 new people who get on the Internet every month! The people who send you offers by email can provide you with an excellent source of bulk email addresses to send to. You can also send out emails to all of your family, friends, and to anyone who you think would want to invest $20 and 30 minutes of their time to make a substantial lump sum within a month. If you want to operate this business continuously, you should consider obtaining bulk lists of email addresses from a reputable mailing list company. That's how I've managed to stay in business for the last 2 years! If you already have a legitimate mailing list, then this program would be the most profitable way to make use of it. There are many websites that sell thousands of fresh opt-in email addresses of people who have subscribed to receive exactly this type of program. For example, visit: htmail.com or Email2Success.com. The possibilities are endless, and it's so easy!

Unlike many other MLM programs, this 5-LEVEL PROGRAM costs you only $20. That's right, only $20 ONCE, which is much more realistic and provides much, much faster results. Only the first person on the list gets your $20 gift, but everyone in the list will rise to that Number 1 position as thousands of emails are being sent out. No cheating can occur (don't be fooled by claims that this system can be cheated) as Paypal only allows one account per person. Because it is so easy, the response rate is VERY HIGH and VERY FAST - Internet email FAST, and you will start seeing dramatic results in less than one week! JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT MONTH'S BILLS!

Remember, you need only mail out 40 copies to start with. This will be enough to generate a substantial lump sum within 30 days. For example, send to personal contacts and reply to people who send their programs to you, as they are already working on the web. They know these programs work and they are already believers in the system! This is NOT considered SPAM if you are responding to other people's offers, or sending to friends, family and contacts, or if you are using a legitimate mailing list.

So, email your letters out today, and then prepare yourself for a huge influx of cash within the next 30 days!!!

4 factors that make this program so successful. . .

EXTREMELYFAST RESPONSE

EXTREMELY HIGH RESPONSE RATE

UNLIMITED PROFIT POTENTIAL

QUICK, SIMPLE AND CHEAP TO GET STARTED

Because of the VIRTUALLY ZERO INVESTMENT, SPEED, and HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL, this program has a VERY HIGH RESPONSE RATE! And all from just a simple email and one simple $20 PayPal transaction! In fact, this program has faster results and a higher response rate than any other Internet program you could possibly participate in! For most email marketing campaigns, the average response rate is between 0.5% and 5%. However, this particular program typically generates a response rate of between 20% and 30%. This is because this program is so easy to implement, it costs next to nothing, it takes just 30 minutes to implement, and the results can be seen within days.

I've been watching this type of MLM program for years and this is about as easy and fast as you can get it. No stamps, no envelopes, no printed copies to be made - just a little effort and faith!!! This program really keeps it "short and simple"!

UNLIMITED income potential!

This program is structured for everyone to send only 40 emails each to start. However, you are certainly not limited to 40. Send out as many emails as you want. Every 40 emails you send has a return of AT LEAST $60,000 WITHIN 30 DAYS. So, if you can email 50, or 100, or whatever, GO FOR IT! THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT, THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT!

However, you MUST remember that sneaking your name higher up on the list will NOT produce the results you think, and it only cheats the other people who have put in the effort and have earned the right to be there. So please, play by the rules and the serious money will come to you!

You are probably skeptical of this, especially with all the different programs out there on the Web, but if you don't try this you will never know. I felt exactly the same as you probably do right now. I wanted to believe but i just couldn't help thinking that there was some sort of catch. But then I realized that I had absolutely nothing to lose. After all, I was only being asked to invest a measly $20, and yet I could earn many thousands of dollars within a month. And all for just half an hour of my time! Therefore I went ahead and did exactly as the email requested. This took me around 30 minutes in total, and I'm so, so, glad I did

Pretty sure this is a scam...

myspaceoryours's picture

I've seen this on Craigslist and MySpace... but it sounds like those dumb work at home scams that people are always falling for...

And I think they throw that "Oprah" thing in there to make it sound credible... but does anyone remember actually seeing this on Oprah? Yeah, I didn't think so...

It would work IF they do NOT change the ....

bugsey's picture

the position of the recievers ... it is somewhat like the idea of the cooperative--- but I wouldn't Go for it unless there is someone like an ADMI to make sure that the email adresses are NOT changed. Like.. the first 5 could be changed if one is dishonest and someone could put their name FIRST --- dunno about Oprah but i think she said something about this like " what goes around comes around". There should be a fool proof method though...

That's true but HONESTY is the key. That's works like some cooperative where you contibute until your "turn" comes basically. The THING however, is that people run off with their "turn" ususally taking the money ALL with them. LOL... who knows? But if there were someone who can STUDY and foolproff that scheme I'd be willing to sign up!

bugsey – April 16, 2006 – 12:05am

Why can't we Do THAT with the ADMI as administrator?

Not bad to try it....

Don't put all your eggs in one basket: Branch out. You can join Associated content (for free) and they will pay you per article, there is no minimum to get paid. I've been paid MANY times by AC.
You are not writing for nothing. You can blog to attract readers and fans.

I agree also. I understand that they can't be paying every 5 minutes but they could pay once a week no matter what is in your account. You earned it, you should be getting it and you're right. Don't send us checks, put it in our paypal accounts. How hard is that? Someone else said maybe they figure we'll give up before we hit $100 and then they won't have to pay. That's possible and I'd be willing to bet that's true. I'm sure there are people who give up before they fulfill the requirements so they don't have to pay out. Maybe we should sign a petition or something. Boycott google! hehehehe
