Key Points:
1) Owner decided to close their program due to not making money.
2) Members need to email owner to get paid by PayPal if they earned over $15.
3) If there's any interested parties, they may contact owner with offers to purchase & take over his site.

Hello Everyone, I first must appologize for the long lapse in emails and communication with my members. Over the past couple months revenue from the site has pretty much dropped off the face of the planet. As stated before BYG pays users to read jokes. The money to pay users comes from advertisements. While many people ARE clicking on the ads, not many, if any, users are actually responding to the ads by signing up for the products, buying products etc.. If I were to keep mailing the payouts would so low I couldn't even put it into words! You could make more money searching the couch for change. Because of this, and because it takes a while to come up with jokes, mail out jokes, do support I have made a decision to close the site effective immediately (well effective a couple months ago when I quit mailing). Anyone who has earned more than $15 please email me at support@bustyourgut.com and I will see to it that you are payed through paypal. I would like to extend a big Thank-You to all of you who tried to make this program work. I think we gave it a good shot but due to the way advertising works the program was too time consuming for me to keep finding fresh new ad content. If anyone out there would be interested in purchasing the site please send me any offers you have. The site has all the scripts and such for doing mailings, removing users, etc etc... There are also two domains: bustyourgut.com and bustyourguts.com Again, thank you for a few good months and I wish this had worked out better for everyone involved. Peace, Rob Aguilar.

Thank you for the post, i wish admin had emailed me to. I had really been wondering about it for the past 3 months. Especially since i went from getting a email a day to no emails at all. Well now i know and i can take off the referral link from my site. Man and i got a lot of referrals too. ah.gif

Thats very noble of them to pay members before closing down

This is the right way to close a business... rather than just shutting down and dissapearing and leaving hundreds of dollars unpaid
FamilyAffair
Still waiting for my payment.. will post if I recieve.
usdollars
No payment received here either ah.gif
jimbaum

I had a large downline with more than 70 personally referred so I know my earnings were high but not sure how high...

Yeah, me too, not sure how much I'd earned, don't think it was quite $15 though, but I did have a HUGE downline ah.gif

I thought their rewards were a bit too high and no wonder the site had to close, I mean them referral rates were ridiculous!

I haven't been paid either ah.gif
