OK Alex, you've been asking for this. I have finally found something to complain about Nickels By Email.
Did you really have to send all those upgrade ads in one email??? What were there, like 1000 (exaggerating) seriously, more than 4-5 links per email and you lose my attention. Plus, how dare you take time off for the holidays? Hope to see you around the forum occasionally, anyway. Happy Holidays!!!

Oh no. Whew, I thought it was a complaint tongue.gif

That was a complaint, sort of. The good kind!

Just knew this couldn't contain a bad complaint laugh.gif

Apparently I deleted the email Alex sent, but I'm thinking it's business related, not a holiday vacation. Anyway, until the 1st or 2nd of Jan. he won't be sending daily emails and will only visit the forum sporadically.

Gotta love POs who keep their members informed biggrin.gif Even if we delete the info and can't quite remember laugh.gif

Hi Kim! Sorry if my post seemed to imply that others didn't read his email, that was not my intention in mentioning it at all. I just know sometimes I read them, then forget exactly what the news was, thought maybe I wasn't the only one who is forgetful laugh.gif

Must have spaced off on saving this one, something I started doing awhile back with all programs when they contained news.

Sorry to be the spoilsport here - but I do have a complaint - the lack of earnings
I have been a member of NBE for more than 3 months now, and my earnings is $0.5628. At this rate it is going to take me 2 years to reach the $5 payout. I have no doubt at all that the WM is honest and will pay me when I do reach it, but do I want to wait until 2006 for $5? huh.gif

I redeemed for banner impressions a few days ago (and they were up in minutes after redeeming) and as soon as they expire I am going to quit. sad.gif
fun4moms
Hmmmmm, I actually earn a bit faster than many other sites. I've been paid a random payout and am over halfway to payout right now. I have even spent a bit of my earnings on rewards for my downline. My total earnings would put me very close to payout right now, had I not already been paid and spent some earnings. I click everything from NBE though, so it makes a difference.
nataliecv
Hmmm too! ???
I joined on the 3rd of Dec. and have $1.67 in earnings and 69 points.
And that's without having clicked on the most recent emails.
So that's only 2 weeks for $1.67. I think that's pretty good!
It means cashout for me in only 6 weeks or so at that rate. Much better than some programs!
And no, I don't have a massive downline. Just 1 person in each slot. They've only earned me 14 cents of that!

I'm very happy with the program.

Do you do the start page contest paidemailsa?

With very little time and not doing the searchs, I got 5c + 18c for the points in the last round. smile.gif

For t he new round I'm aiming at 300 before jan 2. cool.gif

wow. I am missing something by not doing the PTCS and start page.

Time to reconsider...
nickelsb
Here I am. smile.gif I've haven't been able to access this forum much, seems like when I'm available, it's not- and when it's not, I am.

Few things to address here... smile.gif

Upgraded Nickel Ads... too many in one email = yes, and that's why I had cut down the mini-random nickels to a max of 10 when I was doing that. I'll stick to seven per email, and just email out multiple ones on those 2 days of the month... or maybe wait until I have seven come in and then just send it... don't know yet. Thanks for the feedback, yes I NEED complaints! smile.gif

Vacation time until January 2... not much of a slow down so far but there will be. For those of you who don't know, I'm a graduate student working on my PhD and I try to do work on NBE in the evenings. It's a ... distraction ... from all the hard thinking I do during the day. Well, this week is a particularly busy week because the project I'm working on for school involves software development and the next version is due, well, January 2. smile.gif That, with family holiday travel means I have less time for NBE. Sorry about that, January will be great. smile.gif

Slow earnings. Actually, I gotta agree, they are slow. First of all, it's all about advertising money coming IN to the site - when that doesn't happen, then I can't send anything but my own stuff and people get tired of hearing from me and it reaches a point of diminishing returns anyway. I'm working at getting new advertisers, but DO need to spend more time on just that. Second, I try to provide lots of different earning opportunities, and everyone is right here - if you aren't doing the PTCs or start page (or the ad grid, getting referrals, pay-to-perform, etc.), you're missing out on some potential. Not everything is for everyone, though, and my hope is IF you're ONLY doing the emails that you are at least spending less time RELATIVE to how much you are earning. It may take you longer to get to payout, but you'll actually spend less time doing it. (1/2 cent minimum means 1000 clicks to payout, and I send a lot of 1 cent solos, so it's much less than 1000 clicks if you want to go the low-effort route.)

In summary, here are the ways to earn at NickelsByEmail:

1. 5 Cent Earning Opportunities in Every Paid Email!
2. Paid-to-Read Emails (1/2 cent minimum per standard link)
3. Targeted Search Emails (for limited countries)
4. Paid-to-Click (at least one cent in PTCs daily)
5. Contest Paid-to-Click (for cash and advertising)
6. Referral Earnings (with NO upline activity restrictions)
7. Pay-to-Perform (bonuses from earnings at other programs)
8. Start Page (use in traffic exchanges for easy points-to-cash)
9. $5 Ad Grid (bonuses for referring advertisers)
10. Transfer Earnings from TLCEmail.net (low $1.00 minimum)

PLUS, I'm adding in another two or three earning opportunities in January... one I'm thinking of, some probably aren't going to care for but others will simply adore... and it WILL break the barrier on traditional PTR earning opportunities. wink.gif

Unfortunately, the quickest way to earn is to sign up for the search category - and those members tend to be the happiest with the program too. I know not everyone can do that, but I'm only giving back what the program earns from it, so it's really just a way for some members to reach payout quicker. As a referrer - get a consistent searcher as a referral and you'll be very happy! So, even if you aren't from a search-friendly country you can earn that way.

One more thing... and this is very true at other PTRs too, I'm sure other POs will agree... for some reason, some members only click on the first link in the email. I put the nickel bonus up top - and let me emphasize the word BONUS - though it's the standard 1/2 cent and 1 cent links that will actually cause you to earn faster. NBE is a bit more complex than other PTRs because I basically must have 2 links for every email. By skipping that second link, many are missing out... I thought about switching the order of them since I'd rather a new member first be exposed to the standard link, but then I fear click-through on the nickel links would go down. Any thoughts on switching the order?

Sorry for the long post, I know I talk too much sometimes. tongue.gif

sigh..a smart, caring webmaster with new ideas in a great program that pays.
what's the world coming to?
fun4moms
I like the order as is. Kinda like gimme mail that puts the 5 point ad link on top, before the paid links in the body.

I don't do the start page PTCs much (I'm working on making more time for that...got rid of a few programs already) and i don't do all the searches, so i guess i could be earning a lot more. I like to do PTCs personally.

oh you forgot to add he pays within 24 hours

and he hasnt given a sob story on the difficulty of his life

Keep up the good work

I just joined this site today and I have a few questions about the start page. Okay I see the point links at the bottom of the page. Do I understand correctly that the points earned in this area convert to cash that is converted weekly?

What are the 29 banner links at the top of the page for? Do they earn me anything?

I don't want to miss anything. LOL I haven't recieved my first email from the site yet and I hope it's coming soon. I hope the site doesn't get to slow. I'm ready to get clicking and reading.

Veltrax
I think the earning rate is fine, I joined a couple of months ago and made payout without any referals. I am half-way to payout again thanks to the pay to perform section.

I do the search mails which do significantly speed up the earnings. I don't particularly like searches but they have good earning potential at NBE, unlike some other sites I won't name.

And NBE PAYS. QUICKLY. Novel concept.

BTW, I can confirm that AYS pays too. It takes time but I got my payment today.

I wish I could say the same for a couple of other programs that owe me payouts. dry.gif

Hmm, interesting old topic. As I've said before, I like complaints - it lets me know what's wrong and needs to be fixed. So, if you've got any, please let me know. smile.gif

A few caveats:

1. Yes, I know I'm behind in crediting paid-to-perform bonuses - and I'm working on it as quickly as I can.

2. Yes, I know there needs to be more information ON the site - and I promise to work on that too.

3. Yes, I know there need to be more non-search opportunities - the not-so-hidden variety - and I'm working on that too.

4. Yes, I know that EarnWithEmail needs some major cleaning up - and a few new things to improve the site - I have a few ideas, i just need to pick them and find time to implement them - and yes I'm working on that!

5. Yes, I know I'm still behind on answering support emails, but there is always our support folder here at GPF if you'd like to remind me of something I need to do for you. I still have plans to open my own separate support forum - ummm working on that!

Get the impression that there are a lot of things I'm working on?

HypeJackson,

I wouldn't be here reading this forum, if I didn't have some involvement in the PTR industry.

Like I said I find it difficult to comprehend the amount of effort people will put into complaining, but when it comes down to brass tacks, people always think the WM is in the wrong.

Maybe, the WM has had a hard time, I don't know that, you don't know that. Maybe with the growth of the PTR industry there are too few advertising dollars to go around and until some sites go belly up, this situation will not be rectified.

I was only voicing my opinion in what I thought was an open forum.

Pity it seems a closed forum with closed minds.

Like I said "Whoever this Sarah is has no affect on whether I join a particular site or not, if ANY of the above checks (my checks) fail, then I do not join."

I do involve myself in the PTR industry, I do advertise and I do my clicks.  Like you I am entitled to payment and like you I am entitled to whinge if I choose to.................................

But, for you to have a laugh and say the I don't belong to any sites, HOW WRONG YOU ARE!

You are obviously to wrapped up in yourself to even bother clicking the link I provided to see which sites I am a member of.

and before you turn the attack on me, we all have something to learn and you do your learning whilst you live your life.

I will not be commenting further on this topic because I don't think I have anything new to add to this slam dunk of WM, which is completely unjustified.

All people in the PTR want to do is earn some money, whether they are a PTR or WM, there are cheaters and cheats on both sides of the fence. When the WM cracks down on the cheats there is an outcry and when the  PTR'er gets caught cheating there is an outcry.

It seems to me that too many people are trying to cheat the system and everyone will lose in the long run.

Note the date of that post - Dec 18 2003, 01:44 PM

That was back in December of LAST year that NBE was doing that... the built-in start page is "broken" in CC scripts (as of the last time I checked) and doesn't quite credit everyone the same. This eventually led into the affiliate program, somewhat as an alternative to that method of earning. Instead, the start page contest turned soley into a click contest.

Let's just say a few of those "ways to earn" are out-of-date... it has been a year, after all! wink.gif

Actually, this was the only other thing listed that really changed - I couldn't sustain 1 cent daily, not when there aren't enough things worth promoting continuously. The start page and affiliate PTCs make up for that, at least in part. wink.gif

I'll be happy to talk about any of these things further in the NBE support folder! rolleyes.gif
