Subject: NEW INTERNET COMPANY!
Hey everyone...
My good friend sent me this and I went
to the site, checked it out, signed up and got a number and thought I'd
pass it on. I think it could be worth your time to check it out too.
Otherwise, feel free to delete this. Hope you all have a great day!
If you've already signed up, good picking!!
much love,

This e-mail is about a new internet company that has a great
business model. Without sounding corny or salesy, I want to encourage
everyone to read this e-mail as soon as possible, because you can make
a lot of money and the earlier you sign up, the more you can make.
This is not a joke or a trick, it's not play money or worthless stock.
It's cash. The e-mail is long, because the concept needs explaining.
We've all witnessed how the Internet is changing the rules of the
game. Well a bunch of Stanford Computer Science PhDs are changing
the way advertisers pay to reach consumers. Throughout time,
advertisers have paid anyone who can aggregate a large quantity of
people. TV Networks, Radio Stations, Magazine and Newspaper
publishers, whoever can do it. The consumers, who advertisers are
paying to reach, never get a dime of that money. These guys are
changing that. They're essentially going to "unionize" consumers,
so
that consumers get paid by the advertisers, not the companies who
aggregate those consumers. This idea is so simple that it's crazy. But
it will work and anyone can sign up for free and make serious money.
This company is called AllAdvantage. Just go to
http://www.alladvantage.com/refhome.asp?refid=BFU-177
if you use this address it will automatically know that we referred you.
Here's how it works. It's completely free to participate. You don't
have to buy anything, you don't have to sell anything, you don't have to
change your web usage. If you go to their site and sign up, you'll have to
enter you name, address.You'll get your own Member ID number, and you'll
soon be sent a little
file to download, which appears as a long thin window that'll be open
below your web browser. In this window will be a standard online
advertisement, a rectangular banner like the one's you see on most web
sites. You can open it or close the window whenever you'd like, but for
every hour you have that window open, you'll get $0.50. Up to 40 hours
a month, you could make $20 a month. Nice so far, but that's just the
beginning.
They created a payment plan to create a model where
everyone is getting everyone else to sign up. Remember, it's completely
free to participate, and you can always choose whether or not you want
the window open. They'll pay you 10 cents for every hour that a person
you refer has this window open. For anyone those people refer, you
get a nickel for every hour. For everyone they refer, you get a nickel
also, and so on for 4 levels. This will generate big money for people
who get in early.
AN EXAMPLE
Let's say everyone has 10 people who joined entering their Member ID
number. And let's also say everyone has this window open for 10 hours
a month.
--You're on the web with this window open for 10 hours a month.
50 cents an hour is $5.00
--The ten people who were referred by you have it open for 10 hours
a month, that's 100 user-hours. 10 cents per hour is $10.00
--Each of those 10 refer 10, that's 100 people, each on for 10
hours a month, that's 1000 user hours. 5 cents per hour is $50.00
--Each of those 100 refer 10, that's 1000 people, each on for 10
hours a month, that's 10,000 user hours. 5 cents per hour is $500.00
--Each of those 1000 refer 10, that's 10,000 people, each on for 10
hours a month, that's 100,000 user hours. 5 cents per hour is $5,000.00
That's it. Just for getting 10 people to sign up and put your number
in as who referred them. And if you get more people, you make more
money. There's no limit. They're counting on the fact that you'll get
tons of people. There are over 50 million internet users, and many have
multiple PCs.
WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?
You're probably thinking that they'll have to pay out hundreds of
millions of dollars to people, and your right, they will have to pay out
hundreds of millions of dollars to consumers. But don't look at it
from the macro level. Look at it from the micro level. It's so simple.
AllAdvantage is paying 80 cents for every hour a user has this window
open.(50 cents to the user, 10 cent to whoever referred them, 5 cents to
the person who referred them, 5 cents to the person who referred them, 5
cents to the person who referred them, and 5 cents to the person who
referred them). Every 20 seconds, a different ad rotates into the
window, so 3 ads every minute, 180 ads every hour. If they can sell
the 180 ads for more than 80 cents they're instantly profitable, and
they'll be able to sell the ads for more.
That's it. That's the whole thing. If they sell $10 million in
advertising, they'll distribute $9 million or so to the users, and keep
the rest. Everyone wins.
Companies who rely on advertising spend a lot of money to attract an
audience, and build and staff a product. AllAdvantage is just going to
pay you as a valuable consumer and reward you for attracting an
audience. A TV Network might put 90% of their ad revenue into
programming and operations, and keep 10% as profits. This company
will give 90% of their ad revenue to people who use them, and keep 10%
for themselves. I told you it was simple.
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?
Why not? It's completely free, and you can make a lot of money, finally
getting paid for advertisers to reach you. It doesn't effect or
interrupt your time on the web, you still spend the same time surfing as you
always have, the same way you always have, the same sites you
always have. The only difference is that you can have this window
open below your web browser if you want to, and you'll get paid for it.
And if you tell a lot of people who also sign up, you'll get paid even
more.
THE SOONER THE BETTER
No matter when you sign up for this, you'll make some extra money. But
the people who sign up earliest, will make loads of money. The more
you sign up the more you make, and the more they make.
IS THIS A PYRAMID SCHEME?
It's really not. It's kind of built on a similar premise, but it's
totally free. There's no scheme! You don't pay anything or sell
anything or spend your time any differently. In a pyramid scheme the
last people in, lose. With this, the last person in still gets cash
every month. Just not as much as the people who get in early. Just
sign up, tell friends, and keep the window open if you want to.
Advertisers will pay money to be in that window, and you'll get a very
nice share of that money. You may have seen similar ideas where
companies are giving away stock, or other things. This is different..
It's real.
You'll be issued your own user
number. Then cut and paste this email, changing the member ID number to
your user number, and e-mail it to as many people as you can think of.
Or mention this when you're talking to friends, or in a chat room, or
where ever! The more people who sign up, the more advertising revenue
AllAdvantage generates, and the more we all get paid. Don't ignore this
because it's "too simple" or "too good to be true". If
you have any
questions,please just go to the site and check it out. It's self
explanatory.
So go ahead...check it out..sign up. What have you got to lose?
