In it's place, if you have over 30 quality posts you get to have a link in your signature for the rest of that month. :dontknow:
-
No thanks! I like the posting bonus!
-
I like the 3 dollars posting bonus too!!
-
I like the posting bonus - plus I only post on things I find of interest like this thread.
-
I only post to the threads that are interesting to me.
-
Hi Buddy I need help with the forum ,can you please tell me how to work this I'm getting a little confuse . Thanks :wave:
-
Don't change a good thing
-
I vote for keeping the $3 Forum Bonus. Not many of us are experienced as OldBuddy.....yet. ;)
It is much easier posting 30 times a month in a Forum, than wishing someone would click on our link and become our referral. You have a 1/10 chance of that happening most of the time. :'(
-
I think we should keep it. ::) it helps me out a lot now that I know what I'm doing.

I agree 110%.
The link to click on is not a bad idea....but please don't replace the $3 posting bonus with it. couldn't it be done in addition to...rather than in place of???
-
Please keep the $3 posting bonus :confused1:
-
I always choose a sure thing over a 'maybe'. Keep the bonus. Not all of us have old buddy's contact sources. If FC wants to do both, that's fine.
-
Bad idea. The signature line can be incorporated into a contest. The winner (s) can get a signature line for a certain amount of time. If the bonus is taken away the forum will die people will stop posting which will defeat the purpose of a showing a signature line. Less people posting mean less will click on the signature.
-
Please keep the forum bonus, I like it and if you stopped people would stop posting.
The forum is a great place to find help, new offers and contest. Please keep with the $3.00 bonus.
Thanks
-
The $3 forum posting bonus is one of the very best features of FC. I am with several work at home or paid to click sites. None have a forum even close to FC. I would still post without the $3 bonus but probably not as often or with so much enthusiasm. :wave:
-
I vote to keep the bonus! It has helped me a lot.... The posts are interesting and you get good advice. The bonus is great and helps to meet our cash out goal so much easier.
-
I think you will find the overwhelming majority will vote to keep the $3 bonus. There are a million places to leave a link, few places to earn a sure $3.
-
I'd rather see the bonus kept :)

It's true...there would be a percentage of FC Members who would either decrease posting and/or the Forum may turn to CRAP :BangHead:
-
In it's place, if you have over 30 quality posts you get to have a link in your signature for the rest of that month. :dontknow:
Could you explain what a link in your signature is? Does the link in your signature pay more than $3? :dontknow:
-
I like the forum posting bonus. You get more money for your cashout from it.
-
In it's place, if you have over 30 quality posts you get to have a link in your signature for the rest of that month. :dontknow:
Leave the forum bonus for the majority and give the "Gold Members" the option to choose.
-
I like the $3.00 bonus. It another way to earn extra money.
-
The $3 posting bonus is one of the reasons I stick with FC. Most of us don't have quite the marketing ability as you, Old Buddy, so we need to get our bonuses where we can.
-
I :heart: the $3 bonus...along with the post your payment for $1 bonus its a dollar short from the $5 bonus we got when we first joined which is really helpful
-
I like the $3 for the month. That is a good idea though Old Buddy. Maybe we can have a link in our signature for doing something else.
-
Could you explain what a link in your signature is?
A signature line is a line of text or a link to a website. It's used for advertising to get sales and referrals. When someone includes a signature line they are hoping people will click on the link and buy a product or sign up for a program. FC use to have signature lines but they turned it off because people were abusing it.
Does the link in your signature pay more than $3?
No
-
I prefer to keep the 3 dollar bonus.
-
Please keep the $3 posting. I am just getting to love to post on this thing, so I vote to keep it. Why would anyone want to get rid of a good thing? :BangHead:
-
Oh my, I really don't want to lose the $3. forum bonus, I think it is an awesome perk for FC to give to us!
-
I agree! Keep the bonus! I'm having a hard enough time getting credit for offers I complete and finding offers that I can afford to complete. I've put my link out there to get referrals, but none yet. So, keep the bonus!
-
I'm not for replacing the forum bonus in favor of free advertising/marketing for a month. As several others stated, some on here either aren't very good marketers, nor care to market. They're happy earning the money they can through the offers and don't care about referrals. Heck, some users might not even belong to any other programs besides FusionCash. So for these type of people, this would be useless, whereas the actual $3.00 is something tangible. I also agree that the $3.00 bonus makes FusionCash unique from other GPT sites.
However, I think oldbuddy could be on to something. I understand why the rules are in place in regards to links. Even with telephone verification needed before posting, this place would turn into a haven of spam. But, there are many people on here who have been here a long time and proven to be loyal members, rule abiding, and not here to use it purely as a means to try and self promote.
I think it would be intriguing if senior type members were eventually allowed some extra perks (like oldbuddy's idea of linkage in signatures). How you earned this perk would have to be determined. Basing it on post counts is not a good method, as a spammer could come in and make a bunch of crappy posts in a month or two to hit the mark. A better way would be something like x amount of cashouts, x amount of money earned, or even x amount of approved forum bonuses. Or a combination of any of those if need be. If you did something like just days as a member, people could still just sign-up and then wait out the time limit without really doing offers. There also could be levels on these, like once you hit a certain amount, you're allowed one link, the next level allows two links, etc, until you reach a final level where you're only allowed whatever would be determined the max amount of links in a signature.
Just a thought.
-
I think I'll take $3 over a link!!!
-
I like the $3 bonus. I am not sure how well that link would convert in the signature.
-
Keep the bonus! I enjoy the forum, but not enough to post without the bonus.
-
no way! don't take the bonus away, ever realized how hard it is to reach cashout without it? I'm sorry but, not everyone feels the same way as you do
-
I think that is a bad idea...The forum bonus has helped me earn my checks and there are others On the site that I think would agree that there still should be a bonus for posting.
-
Bad idea. The signature line can be incorporated into a contest. The winner (s) can get a signature line for a certain amount of time. If the bonus is taken away the forum will die people will stop posting which will defeat the purpose of a showing a signature line. Less people posting mean less will click on the signature.
I have to agree with you. It's hard enough trying to get a referral to sign-up here on FC never mind trying to promote something else rather than a sure thing. I vote keep the $3 for posting.
-
i'd rather keep the $3 posting bonus each month. THis is something that i look forward to getting at the end of the month.
-
I'll have to agree with the majority here in this thread. Since you have a real marketing system going Old Buddy, it's seems like a good idea for you. However, a lot of others have no desire to focus on referrals. I've been trying to get referrals, and even in this economy.....no dice....so far. It also comes with problems before as was stated earlier with spammers, etc.
Maybe Fusion Cash can give the senior members that option. I myself love that $3 bonus. I especially like the kick start it gives me for the next month, so I'm not starting at ground zero. Just my 2 cents.
-
My vote is to keep the $3 forum posting bonus. The forum bonus has helped to create a community here.
I also like Oldbuddy's idea and perhaps a signature link can be an award to another contest here on Fusion Cash.
-
No thanks, I love this, it's a great way to make some money and to keep people in contact with one another on fusion cash. If anyone has a question, it's also a good way to find help.
-
I don't want the forum posting bonus taken away. I like getting paid for my participation :-)
-
Agreed, keep the $3 bonus. As long as you make quality posts it's guaranteed extra money. As opposed to trying to get referrals.
-
I'm sorry I like the $3 dollar bonus, its a sure thing.
-
The $3 forum posting bonus is one of the very best features of FC. I am with several work at home or paid to click sites. None have a forum even close to FC. I would still post without the $3 bonus but probably not as often or with so much enthusiasm. :wave:
I agree. I too, would lose interest if the posting bonus was taken away. It's hard enough to make money as it is, since alot of things don't always credit for everyone.
Don't you dare take the bonus away.
-
i really enjoy this site and the community i say keep everything the same more bonuses plz!!!
-
Sorry I like the posting bonus too much.
-
I would completely support giving the option of either or to those who want the link vs the $3 bonus. For those who have time to be on here most of the day and time to seek out referrals, the link would be of help.
I have missed 2 months of the bonus because I had NO time to post and barely had time to do the daily e-mail and the 15cent PTC and that is unheard of for me! I don't care about refferals, again due to the time factor (I work a LOT of hours/week), so a link would be of no help to me vs OldBuddy and those who DO have and get lots of referrals. ;)
-
I would really miss the bonus. I probably wouldn't make time for posting if there wasn't a bonus anymore. It really helps me to get to cashout since I only do the daily website, emails and possibly videos if there are any. Honestly I really don't think the referral link helps in the forum because everyone is already active on fusioncash. The only way to make the referral would be to link to the forum page from an outside site.
-
Well we got a hot topic started, didn't we? :star: :star: :star:
I thought that headline would ring a bell, and it sure did.

Thanks for the info. I'll rather have the posting bonus.

I wanted to bump this up, because I liked this idea.
-

You certainly did start a Hot Topic oldbuddy!
It certainly caused a lot of interest and conversation per the Forum posting rules!!
"- A contributory post is one that offers some insight, makes people laugh, carries a conversation, provides information or help, or something along those lines."
I vote for keeping the $3.00 Posting Bonus.

I feel like this is the best option. Its a really good solution.
-
I would be so bumed if the bounus would be gone, no other site has an incentive like it
-
Good idea but like the $3 bucks. :thumbsup:
-
i waited for a long time still i have a month to wait before i'll get credit for 3dollar.. hope they keep it
-
it's an amazing site. even without the $3 bonus, it still has better incentives than any other GPT I've found. the referral program is just incredible and that's where the money seems to lie in this game. make other people do the work. :p
-
I like the $3 bonus. I'm almost ready to submit my next 30 posts. Keep it going..it's a great thing.
-
I'm almost there
-
I vote to keep the $3 forum posting bonus. I myself do not frequent many other website forums and so a link in my signature would not benefit me much. The only people who see my signature are fellow fusion cash members here in these forums and they are already members. Therefore there is no need for any of them to click on my link to sign up.
-

I totally agree with you and I have some sites to work on as well however FC forum bonus is my favorite and only one which is available with bonus among them. Please keep the good thing!
-
I also agree to keep the forum. It keeps FC apart from most of the rest and one of the reasons I try to visit each day.
-
Well we got a hot topic started, didn't we? :star: :star: :star:
I thought that headline would ring a bell, and it sure did.
Leave it to you to come up with an idea like that. I do believe you had an inkling of which way the wind was going to blow on that one, Oldbuddy!
If I was on the FC staff, I would say you just earned yourself $.20 in this thread alone toward your $3/mo bonus! Since I want my $.10 for this post, I vote to keep the $3/mo Forum Posting Bonus. How about adding the signature link as a bonus for starting at least one New Topic each month like you did? :notworthy:
-
this is the first site i have found that offers this so why take it away
-
i dont think that it should be taken away. :crybaby2: its great gives us reason to talk alittle more ;D
-
I only post to the threads that are interesting to me.
well their sure isn't to many of those
-
I think the $3 forum posting bonus is a wonderful thing it gives you a chance earn some extra money.
-
How about qualifying for a monthly criteria to have the sig links for the following month? :dontknow:

This is a great idea. I probably wouldn't qualify right now but would give me something to continue to work for. Personally, I like the $3 bonus.
-
No I like it the way it is
-
I really like the posting bonus because it encourages people to visit the forum, which creates a sense of "community" among us Fusion Cash members.
-
I think the bonus is great too!
-
I say keep the $3 bonus its a good thing dont try and fix what aint broken ;D
-
In it's place, if you have over 30 quality posts you get to have a link in your signature for the rest of that month. :dontknow:
I think that would cause more confusion for new comers and more work for the FC staff to tell ya the truth. Besides it's nice to get an extra few bucks as a bonus.
-
Please keep the $3 forum bonus.
-
hahahahahahahha
thats funny
then there would be no posting
and you would still have the most money made only because you wont share your secrets. you make enough to have to pay taxes old buddy is the only reason you want 3 dollars less.
maybe we could just give you a special signature just cause.
:notworthy:
-
I'm with everybody else, I like the $3 posting limit. Its extra cash in our pockets.
-
Why would you give up free money for doing something you do anyway? We don't need suggestios like that. I personally will take all the free cash I can get!
-
I am gonna start doing the $ 3.00 posting and see if this helps me any...
-
i think the $3 cash is a great thing too. Keep it FC!
-
At first I was wondering why someone would want the $3 bonus taken away but after reading:
Well we got a hot topic started, didn't we? :star: :star: :star:
I thought that headline would ring a bell, and it sure did.
I get why the thread was started. ;)

@charmaine56..........
A little off the topic here, but oldbuddy DOES share his secrets!! If you look him up on YouTube, you'll see that he shares EVERYTHING he knows with anyone.....just gotta ask!!!
-
Please no! I realy enjoy posting in this forum.
-
I am new here on fusion cash and would love to make some real money with this, so please do not, do not take away the $3 forum posting bonus!!!
-
no keep it if you can :-[
-
Works fine for me the way it is. It would sure benefit you better, but not most members.
-
Yes i agree with the rest of you guys :-) the link i already have and can post all over the internet where i can. i want the $3 lol
-
I agree.. posting on forums is something most of us do already, so why not get paid for it?! For me, this is an "Ahaa" moment! There are so many topics to choose from, and it's not like you're taking a test of anything. I am glad I found Fusion Cash! :thumbsup:
-
I vote for keeping the $3 Forum Bonus. Not many of us are experienced as OldBuddy.....yet. ;)
It is much easier posting 30 times a month in a Forum, than wishing someone would click on our link and become our referral. You have a 1/10 chance of that happening most of the time. :'(
Agree I can see how having a link in my siggy would be very lucrative but it would break the rules to begin with :) lol But hey kudos for trying.
-
I agree dont take away the 3 dollar forum bonus it keeps people moviated to get in the community
-
I agree dont take away the 3 dollar forum bonus it keeps people moviated to get in the community
Yes, in addition an active community makes the site more popular on searches and therefore more member will join.
-
I would sure hate to see the $3 bonus go the way of the dodo. I can't get 30 quality posts in every month and I suspect most people don't.
-
I think it is a great way to earn a little money. Jobs are hard to find and though it isn't much ever little bit earned any way one can helps a lot in the long run.
-
Like most I am in favor of keeping the forum bonus intact as it is. The ability to add a link could be added as an additional perk is idea with some great potential though.
I am a curious about the website name and URL section of the profile. Seems like the tools to do this have been in place, or it use to be possible for anyone to post a link. Which raises the issue of what would be permissible and also how it would be monitored.
-
Old Buddy, they can take away your $3 if that's what you want, but not mine... I like posting my 30 posts and getting that $3!
-
Please don't take away the $3 posting bonus!!! :'(
-
I like it too....and don't want to see it taken away!
-
I would sure hate to see the $3 bonus go the way of the dodo. I can't get 30 quality posts in every month and I suspect most people don't.
Actually, it's not that hard to get 30 posts in every month....just have to do at least 1 every day. Since it really doesn't take that long, it's easy enough to get in at least 2 every day, and then you're sure to get in more than enough.

What is the advantage to having a link in your signiture.?
-
Let's keep the $3/mo forum posting bonus and use the referral links provided by FusionCash in ways that are permitted. I don't think Oldbuddy was seriously suggesting getting rid of the $3 bonus. He just wanted to start a healthy debate on the subject and he sure did! We need all the money-making tools at our disposal!
Be thankful FusionCash is generous enough to give us $3/mo just for posting! No other site that I know of gives that kind of incentive! :heart:
-
What is the advantage to having a link in your signiture.?
@lannl.........
He's talking about having a referral link to one of his other programs/businesses that he does, and since we're currently not allowed to do that, then it would be an advantage.
-
I vote to keep the $3 forum, I just stared and it seems like a good oppertunity to earn extra cash. This is easy enough for those of us that are not as smart with the computer. Getting 30 post a month is not that hard I don't think. Its just commenting and relplying to other post. You can get that in with just two post a day for 15 days or three post for 10 days. See it is not that difficult. I just started with FC this month and I would like to be able to earn my first bonus I have not made that much yet.
-
Personally I think the $3 posting to the forum bonus is a blessing and an easy way for me & other members to work toward payout. I don't do a lot of offers especially ones that cost and I never get referrals so for me this is a great way to earn $3.

Just keep in mind that you only have six months to cashout with $25 earned and $15 of that from doing offers, or it will be lost.
-
no way id rather keep the $3 bonus forum bonus
-
I would prefer the $3 bonus, it would be good to try something differnt every now and then, but this offer should stay up for a bit longer.
-
I would be sad to see the three dollar posting credit go away, I am new to the site and it is a great incentive for getting to know people in the forums. I get a lot of help from the forums.
-
I would be very hard to cash out without the forum bonus to get us there. This is the only bonus I have to cash out with. I do offers but you have to have $15 in bonus's to cash out and I do not know how to get bonus's any other way. I have cashed out 1 time. And I have $6 in bonus plus I will have another $3 for last month's bonus so that means I will not be able to cash out for another 3 months. I do hope they don't do away with the posting bonus as I can see we would not be able to cash out. If anyone else knows how to get paid for bonus's so I could cash out faster, I would be like for you to let me know. I have plenty of offers I have been paid for..
-
When life gives you free bonuses such as this one, you take advantage of it.
-
Why would anybody want to eliminate the monthly forum bonus? ??? It makes no sense. I think the majority of the members including myself would like to keep it. It also help to make up and add toward the minimum cash-out.
-
I think its a good way to get the money to advance because when you are stuck on 5 dollars like I am 25 seems like a world away so its a very good opportunity. :star:
-
I just started why would anyone suggest taking $3.00 forum posting bonus...oh no please don't do that...
and now I have a question so as soon as your done posting your 30 or more posts when do you enter the information for bonus at the end of the month (last day) just wondering I started in the middle of July????
-

Even if you've started mid-July and are at 27 posts as of now, you should be able to make 30 posts by the end of the month. Use the Earn $3/mo postin in the forum link on the main FC page to take you to the forum bonus request form link.

If anyone else knows how to get paid for bonus's so I could cash out faster, I would be like for you to let me know. I have plenty of offers I have been paid for..
You have this backward, you don't need any bonus at all to cash out, but you do need to complete at least $15 in offers, but you could go on to earn the entire $25 by doing offers and cashout. Bonus money is just that, a bonus that's added to your earnings.
-
Take away the $3 Forum posting bonus are you crazy this is a great way to make your $25. without the Forum bonus it would take you alot longer to reach cashout. If you don't like the forum or the bonus it gives don't do it but for the rest of us its a great way to make some extra cash, and I learn alot about offers that are going on. I love the forum and the bonus that goes with it

I would be very hard to cash out without the forum bonus to get us there. This is the only bonus I have to cash out with. I do offers but you have to have $15 in bonus's to cash out and I do not know how to get bonus's any other way. I have cashed out 1 time. And I have $6 in bonus plus I will have another $3 for last month's bonus so that means I will not be able to cash out for another 3 months. I do hope they don't do away with the posting bonus as I can see we would not be able to cash out. If anyone else knows how to get paid for bonus's so I could cash out faster, I would be like for you to let me know. I have plenty of offers I have been paid for..
You have this backward, you don't need any bonus at all to cash out, but you do need to complete at least $15 in offers, but you could go on to earn the entire $25 by doing offers and cashout. Bonus money is just that, a bonus that's added to your earnings.
Thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I thought we had to have $15 in bonus too to cash out. You are a big help on here.

I like the $3 Forum Posting Bonus AND the link in the signature...why not have them both?
I do understand why Fusion Cash doesn't allow links, or cross promoting...but it'd be nice if we could have the opportunity of having a link in our signature. As long as we didn't mention it, or try to promote it...having it there others would have the option of looking if THEY wanted to.
-
please dont change anything the 3$ bonus is good as it is no ones complaining
-
how would that benefit us at all???? i think the 3 dollars for 30 post is a great idea

Well, I think it's a great selling point for Fusion Cash. It is much easier to get referrals with the forum posting perk. Would most of your referrals actually want the 3 dollars taken away? 99.9 percent of FC posters at least in this thread do not want the 3 dollars taken away. Is a link in your signature a better referral tool than the referral link that FC already employs?
-
If it ain't broken, don't fix it! ;D
-
Gotta say, oldbuddy, I like the $3.00. Keep it! Not everyone has something else to promote.
-
Nobody wants the forum bonus to be removed...KEEP IT!!!
-
Can anyone tell me how the forum bonus works? I am new here
-
Can anyone tell me how the forum bonus works? I am new here
Sure. Just post 30 or more helpful posts and submit three of your own choosing using the forum bonus request form to request your $3 bonus. The link with all the details is at the top of this page:
Are you getting paid to post yet?
Just click on it. Welcome to FC! :wave:

anybody get forum bonus for june?????? i havent.. i requested for bonus
-
anybody get forum bonus for june?????? i havent.. i requested for bonus
I didn't get the May bonus until 6/29,,,,so June's will probably come closer to the end of the month,
-
Yes, PLEASE keep the $3 bonus! It usually helps me jump the cashout minimum hurdle!
-
If they took the $3.00 forum bonus away, that would make it more difficult to reach cash out and i would have to do more of those long surveys to get to cash out sooner! :sad1:
-
And give it to me if you don't want it. I could always use the extra $$$$$. :)
-
I'm not sure I really get the link at the bottom... but that doesnt matter because i really like the $3 posting every month and thats guranteed money that i could really use. :)
-
I need the 3 dollar bonus. It really is a big help in making the 25 dollars to cash out in a month.
-
Well we got a hot topic started, didn't we? :star: :star: :star:
I thought that headline would ring a bell, and it sure did.
I'm for keeping the $3 bonus, although I can understand why internet marketers like OldBuddy would like the ref link in his sig. Maybe have that ref. link as an additional bonus if one of your 30 posts includes a hot topic, like this one!
-
i agree with everyone who is saying the bonus should stay.
that three bucks can be pretty nice when you're trying to get to your cashout limit :p
-
i agree it does help the cashout
-
are you crazy! that would be horrible you have like a 1/1000 chance of someone clicking your link anywhere :angry7: :angry7:
-

I think your numbers are a little off for me, maybe you mean YOU have a 1/1000 chance?
-
Im going to have to disagree with you. Just because i like the 3 a month
-
I think most of us like the $3 bonus though :P
-
Take it away? Are you serious? Im surprised anyone would actually ask to get LESS MONEY...
I personally really like it.
-
In it's place, if you have over 30 quality posts you get to have a link in your signature for the rest of that month. :dontknow:
What good would that be to be able to have a link in your sig? Anyone who is already in the forums most likely is already signed up to the site...
-
I agree with everyone who wants to keep the $3 forum posting bonus. Its like going fishing for referrals if you put a random link in your signature area. You don't know if you made a good catch or not. It only makes sense to oldbuddy to put a random link in his signature area because he expects everyone to click on it and join under him. I can always be wrong about him but, taking away the $3 forum posting bonus doesn't make any sense to me.
-
Worst...thread idea...ever...
-
Being new to all this, I'm not really sure how easy it is going to be for me to post 30 times in a month. It seems easy enough for right now.
-
i love forum bonus!!! always waiting for that!!!!

@r0bb......
OldBuddy is talking about having referral links to his other sites/programs that he does, which currently is against FusionCash rules.

That is what I'd previously determined as well. Good eye, IceKitty.

Don't take away the $3 bonus! In fact, I would like to see more money for more posts!

So would we all, but let's not get greedy. FC might get fed up with all these posts about more, more, more and take it away completely! I say leave well enough alone. ;D

i like the idea of the 3$ 30 posts it helps people communicate a little better but i wish we got like 10$ or something for 50 posts

No change at all, what I want is MONEY and one way is as good as another as long as it's fair on both sides, but begging Fusioncash to raise the amount of free money they give away just because we are here is not fair to them.
-
We should keep the posting in the forums because the $3 is a sure thing. Thats not a bad Idea for getting referals. What does FC do with the new people that sign up with out a referal? People who are lilke gold members should get these referals and be selected at random. Or FC should have like a team leader to hep the newbies to work around the site and recieve the referal of that newbie. That way we all get a chance to become a long time FC participant and we get the referal bonus I know it won't be that many but its better han nothing.
-
I hope the $3 bonus for posting in the forum stays. As a newcomer I have picked up a few tips. It also gives me a chance to express my frustration when things don't go so good. Also, the forum is a sure thing.
-
I'm sure it's an overwhelming no for taking away the bonus and I agree, I pick my topics and think about my postings and enjoy getting that $3 for that
-
eww dont like that

Hey Old Buddy,
I always take stock in your posts. So, I read this thread's first page only, and seeing there were 10 others to read, I opted just to jump right in.
I like the intention behind your post. Do something (30 posts), and be allowed to promote yourself (ad a signature link). For you, this is a great idea. I'm "assuming" you find much more value in getting people over to your site, and sacrificing your $3.00 bonus to do it. I'm like you. I have a website too, and would love to promote the many companies I work with each day, in the hopes that people will sign up, and make me money. So, kudos to your suggestion, because I like it.
However, I don't think the suggestion works for everyone. Not all of us are "as experienced" as you and I (you moreso than I), that would find a need to promote a link. Possibly, what would be a better suggestion, is to make it an OPTION. For instance, we could have the option to elect receiving $3.00, OR self-promoting ourselves with a banner ad, or signature ad, or whatever, during the following month. That way, those that find greater value in advertising can do so - and FC saves money, and those that find greater value in a $3.00 bonus could still collect it each month.
Of course either your suggestion, or my modification of it, would require FC to have a more lenient stance on redirecting people off their site. I think that's a bigger fight to win!!

I mostly started this discussion just to light a fire and it succeeded at that, but your modification is on target in my book. Heck I would even PAY THEM $3 a month if I could have a signature.
-
Boy, you're a fast one! Nothing OLD about you, Buddy, hehe. :) Thanks for your appreciation of my post. For myself, I'm not sure I would go so far as to pay them $3.00 of my own money. But I would love the opportunity to promote myself here. I'd be willing to give up money that wasn't mine to begin with, hehe. That's still FREE in my book. To simply post messages every month to earn a slot in the spotlight, that I can do.
Oh, did I happen to mention I'm cheap like that? :) LOL

I just put in for my $3 bonus for August and the first week isn't even over yet, but let me tell you why being too cheap is not conducive to making money online (people notice)
I tend to go the other direction and it pays off. For example, I just joined a free auction website that lets you list stuff you no longer need to sell for credits, then use the credits to buy stuff someone else doesn't need. I see the potential there, so I just went out and purchased a brand new DVD for "First Wives Club". Most of the people I noticed active on the site were women, so I figure having a DVD about how wives got even with conniving husbands would appeal to them and the bids would go higher.
So why spend FIVE BUCKS (plus offering free shipping) to get free credits to bid on more free stuff I probably don't really need? It's all about recognition and this is just a start. Now if someone bids high and BUYS my CD with their free credits, would you think they might be a person that LIKES free stuff? So when I ship them the DVD you can bet there will be a promo in there about how I make free money online!!! Get it?
Now when I start blogging about this (real soon) you can bet it will lead to even more referrals that earn me more free credits so I can be more active and make more friends, then project that ahead for a year or two and you might see the vision. All the while I am adding to my image and building my following for almost NOTHING, instead of spending AdWords cash that just makes Google richer.
Oh did I mention, that FIVE BUCKS I spent will come back as credits that I can buy more stuff I can list for sale later and my net cost should be maybe a buck for a few more good leads.
Make sense?

You get the salesman of the decade award in my book, oldbuddy!! :notworthy:
-
98% good sense. I have a couple questions for you later, which I will post to this thread later tonight. Just checking in quickly before dinner. Send wife off to bed later in the evening, and I'll be back with the "unclear" questions to be clarified. But what I'm reading sounds intriguing! Would like to know more.
-
I been trying for hours to post a message and I just got in. No I think this is a good incentive for new comer lke me. It give a change to work harder knowing that I did get payed! :thumbsup:
-
Actually, Old Buddy, I don't have any further questions, as I thought earlier. I re-read your post, and answered my own questions. Funny how things sound differently the second time around, hehe.
Good concept. Spend a little to make a little (or hopefully a lot). Makes cents for sure. Thanks for sharing the idea.
-
I don't like that idea at all. I would much rather have the $3 posting bonus! It really helps out whenever you are close to cashing out and need that extra couple of dollars!
-
I like the $3.00 posting bonus! I really hope hey don't take it away. It helps those of us who need all the help we can get in getting to $25!!!

hey, i added you to my buddy list. is there a way to send you a private message? making money online is the only way for me to make money due to my disability. i'm online 12+ hours a day so i have the dedication lol. maybe we could help each other :thumbsup:

Actually the Buddy List here does nothing that I know of and Private Messages are not allowed. However, a Google search can find me pretty easy.

It's unlikely that we'll allow off-site links in signatures anytime soon. We spend too much time and money advertising FC to just give away traffic like that.
As for the posting bonus, we may have to reduce it sometime in the future, but there would be an official announcement ahead of time for a big change like that.
Here's a question for you, though: how much would you pay for a text link advertisement appearing on every forum thread in between the first post and the first reply?

Now we have had official word right from the MAN!
A text link or even a banner would be very interesting to me. How much I would pay would depend on a lot of variables like what we could post, how much space, would it rotate with other advertisers and then I would need to try it and evaluate the R.O.I. before doing it again. I would lean more toward a cost per click model and bid for position in the rotation. It's also much easier to control from our point of view.
Thanks for chiming it! :heart:
-
dont like that idea of reducing the amt. i'd rather keep as is. No changes for now.
-
Bad idea. The signature line can be incorporated into a contest. The winner (s) can get a signature line for a certain amount of time. If the bonus is taken away the forum will die people will stop posting which will defeat the purpose of a showing a signature line. Less people posting mean less will click on the signature.
this is the correct answer! also the $3 is huge for someone like me who has no source of income.

I'd tip my hat to Old Buddy. If you and him could negotiate an acceptable arrangement for such a proposal, then I'd have complete faith and trust in whatever outcome was arrived at. He's obviously been doing what he's been doing for awhile, and knows enough to have the matter work for both FC as well as those who would want to participate.

How about CPM instead of CPC?

??? Getting paid to post on the forum is one of the best features of FusionCash. It is fun to come and chat with your friends, and get paid for it. Oh yeah! I mean, who can't use an extra three bucks? I know I sure can, lol.

Admin: :notworthy: Please do not remove the $3.00 posting bonus, I enjoy the money each month but in addition to that, I like the fresh topics that it provides incentives for. As a long time member I ask you to please leave it here :wave:

I'm having troubles. I love the idea of being able to advertise. I clicked on the link, tried to buy an ad, and it takes me to a screen I cannot do anything on. I had tried last night, just to check it out, and it brought me to a page where I could create a budget, and so on. But now, it's not doing that. ??? Also, you say "text ad", but this morning, I'm seeing a BANNER AD. Are you allow banners or text or both? Just need to know what I need to prepare to advertise.
-
Why would you take it away? It gets people communicating and creates a small social network, which always keeps people around longer.

True, you could always make the clicks open in a new window.

I would be upset if they took the posting bonus away. I learn alot from the other folks on the forum and the bonus is truly a bonus that I look forward to. I also really like that this site doesn't do advertising or let you use it as a source of leads for othe sites. Keeps it clean and easy to use. Please, please leave it the way it is. Thanks for listening.

i agree with you lberry! i really look forward to the $3 posting bonus. I too like a site that doesn't advertise as we get enough advertising doing the surveys and all the other things we do belong to this site. Please leave it how it is, it's one of the things that makes this site such a wonderful place!!!!! :wave:
-
They may have to reduce the bonus as it would not be cost effective To Fusion Cash. You get a million people on here and what is that monthly pay out for them? Three million with no advertisement revenue to supplement it. If it went away, I would just quit posting....no big deal. It's nice to have that end of the month "bonus' sometimes to put you over the edge to cash out, but business is business and I can see them cutting the cost just like everyone else is doing in order to still keep the website up and solvent.
Nobody else on the web is paying for posting in a forum that I know of, so we are fortunate to have collected the money we have so far and will be for some time, if they decide to change it in the future. It's a "bonus" and bonuses are not owed to us at all. It's whipped cream on the top with a cherry.
While I would not like to see it go, I can understand why it would.

I love the 3 dollar posting bonus not like love

I can say in all honesty, if the bonus went away I would be right back here every day posting just like I do now. It's a HABIT! :binkybaby:

Can't agree with you there OldBuddy. I come to post for the bonus, otherwise I wouldn't be here. Just being honest. There are some threads that hold interesting information, but they are few. My life is pretty busy and I have to make time to come on board to do anything anymore. Just how it is. Has to be cost effective for my time also.

I had tried last night, just to check it out, and it brought me to a page where I could create a budget, and so on. But now, it's not doing that. ??? Also, you say "text ad", but this morning, I'm seeing a BANNER AD. Are you allow banners or text or both? Just need to know what I need to prepare to advertise.
Yeah, it looks like AdBrite is not going to work for us. I'm still evaluating alternatives and I'll update when I find one.
To everyone worrying: The posting bonus will remain... as I said the bonus amount might be reduced in the future but there'll be an announcement before that happens and it's not on the immediate horizon.

How about CPM instead of CPC?

Okay, now I'm jealous. Somehow, Oldbuddy made it work, hehe. "Learn How Oldbuddy Makes So Much Money - Click Here". Saw his advertisement a couple times today already. How'd he do that, bubba? Hehe. :'(

I hope they don't take away the the forum bonus. I know that it is only $3 but that money adds up after awhile!

I'm giving Oldbuddy some free advertising because he's helping me test the system and also as a token of appreciation for his help.

It's only a test, but it seems to be working. I'm sure everyone will get a shot when the test is over.
I guess it pays to have a brown nose once in a while. ;D
Thanks Admin! :star: :star: :star:

No! No! No! That posting is fun and I look forward to getting my $3.00 credit.

So this was all a test, and OldBuddy was helping you question the members about the $3 bonus? ???

Yes I've seen it. I'm not blind. So this is the advertisement option? In the forum? How is that going to get referrals unless it points to your own website to make you more money....marketing other websites you are a member of and are garnering from Fusion Cash membership? Which, I might add, is against Fusion Cash rules? If it's a banner advertisement to get referrals JUST for Fusion Cash referrals, posting it in the forum only reaches those who are already members. Anyone else confused?

The only thing that is against the rules is using referral links in your posts. Of course it points to my own website, but it promotes a free website that doesn't make money (not that an advertisement couldn't). My agenda is to get people to participate in anything that helps them become better at promoting online and establish a relationship with those that do for future potential. I have been doing this stuff full time for 11 years and I know how to build my contacts the right way. Remember this is a brand new feature of Fusioncash and NO precedent has been established yet.

One more thing, do you really think I would be dumb enough to try to get Fusioncash referrals in the Fusioncash forum? :dontknow:
A better strategy would be to get people who are having problems getting referrals for Fusioncash and offer them a solution to their problem, wouldn't it?

Okay I viewed a couple of your websites and they are to promote people signing up under you so you can benefit from them. This referral strategy has been around for a long time and that's what everyone is trying to do here on Fusion Cash. But there is no "workshop" on your sites to indicate you are teaching people how to do what you have done. Unless I've missed it.
In order for others to accumulate referrals via the "Banner" way, is to point to their websites already established like you have yours correct? No, your websites do not make money per sea, but they do lead people to sign up under your many money making sites which you are a member correct? I can see how this kind of "Banner" would benefit someone like you, but how about someone who doesn't even have a website to refer people to? Yes, you have built up wonderful marketing sites to attract referrals and you yourself has said you have been doing it for 11 years. Okay, what about someone just starting out? That was actually my question of the validity of the "Banner" to someone like that.

Hey Oldbuddy, sorry about the space in your name earlier. I know how important it is for Google to pick your name out of the forum, spelled correctly. My bad, and I have modified my post to fix the error.
On another note, would you like a really nice Freezing Cold Ice Pack for that Hot Seat you appear to be in right now? :) hehe.

U2BMATH, What hot seat? It's a viable query to the optional proposal being presented. I would like an answer to my question which is: If someone does not have a website previously up at the present, or is not planning to get one in the near future, what would the "Banner" option benefit them? Where does, or would it point to?
While OldBuddy has his marketing websites in place, I can see the benefit for him personally to get behind the "Banner" option. However, not everybody has this in place.

I didn't say ANYONE called me dumb, I simple pointed out that anyone who would think they can get Fusioncash Referrals from the Fusioncash Forum would have to be and that's not me. I also don't have a Banner, what I have is a Text Ad, just a point of clarification. There is a banner running in the same spot, but it's not mine.
You seem to be sorting out the people who have their own website from the ones who don't, but that's a 10 minute fix if they want one and it's very inexpensive. If you read my report I show where they can get one for $1 a month. I don't expect every participant of the Forum to need what I offer, it's a sorting process just like any other online advertising and if 2% of the 5,000 people a day that see it respond, I am happy.
I read posts on here day after day saying people can't get referrals and would love me to share how it's done, that is a very common problem anywhere people congregate who are trying to make money online. All I did with my Text Ad, the Splash Page it points to and the Free Report you can grab is try to solve that problem for those who are ready to take action FOR FREE. If I benefit down the road by getting them into some paid program I can profit from, are you insinuating that is bad in some way?
I hope you don't detect any sarcasm in this reply, because none was intended. These are just the facts.

Annella,
Let me start out by asking you to please let people know I did not pay you to ask these questions, but I certainly do appreciate it. I am certain there will be many who read this that had the same questions in mind, but didn't feel comfortable asking. Thank you for being the one.
Your general theme is that some people are beginners and have no need for this, but please realize that we ALL had to start somewhere and 11 years ago I didn't know diddly squat about online marketing. The setup that I offer ANYONE who participates actively in what I offer is exactly what I WISH I would have been offered 11 years ago so it wouldn't have taken me so long. I have yet to see an Internet Marketing University that wasn't a scam, which is why I am so willing to help others for FREE.
To get back to your question as I see it, it benefits beginners because they have a way to get started learning by doing (for FREE), with no risk, no monthly payments (except optional a buck for a website) and have fun doing it, and no time commitment beyond their personal desires.
I don't offer a workshop, but if you bring up my profile here and go through the thousands of posts I have made, you will see that I teach every day for FREE. I don't want to be tied down to a workshop either. I use Skype to help hundreds of friends I work with as long as they are patient to wait for an answer. Most marketing questions are not urgent anyway. I just offer suggestions and let them govern themselves, which is the best way to learn anything.
The website I promote from that link and the report it encourages people to read has no push for any paid website I own. If you searched out my websites on your own, that has nothing to do with this discussion. Actually I don't know why I even defend that point, it's ADVERTISING and as such it is perfectly normal to make money from it. I just happen to be using it for a different purpose.
Thanks again,
Oldbuddy

I think the forum bonus is useful esp for beginners so please dont eliminate it.

Second. Though maybe it could be lowered so people aren't scrambling to get the quota by posting the same questions over and over again.
But as it stands, how one cannot use only the forum bonus, I think its pretty good.

I didn't say anything about what you are doing is bad. However, you are out for profit, and the "banner" option is one that is attractive to you because you already have your network (websites) in place. Sure, if people want to adopt a website that is $1 a month then fine. However, I would be surprised if it stayed that cheap in this economy. Since most people don't have the time to "maintain' or "tweak" a website (myself), then it is a separation of who wants to....or not. All I'm saying is that the "Banner" option separates those who have a website or not. I'm not doing the separation myself. The "Banner" would not benefit anyone without a website. That's all I'm saying.
I will definitely attest to the fact that you paid me nothing to ask anything. I ask questions because I'm very analytical and want to know ALL the details. I don't feel uncomfortable asking about something that seems off or I don't understand. If something is being presented and sounds really good, then I want to know why and how it works, and if it works for everyone or just a select few. Details were a big part of my job with the Government.
Here's a question that you may not want to answer but I'm going to ask it anyway. Do you get referrals given to you if they are not someone else's referral? In other words, if someone just happens upon Fusion Cash, and signs up, do you get some of those people put under you like they are your referral, even though you didn't refer them?

I have been with them for several years and the price has been stable. The reason they can do it so cheap is they only have email support and no Cpanel, but for splash pages they are not necessary to have.
The "Banner" would not benefit anyone without a website. That's all I'm saying.
Absolutely untrue. The only people the "Banner" would not benefit is those who don't know how to use it. There are plenty of affiliate programs worthy of advertising that only require a link.
and if it works for everyone or just a select few.
The "Banner" works for anyone who wants to learn how to profit from it and that includes me.
Here's a question that you may not want to answer but I'm going to ask it anyway. Do you get referrals given to you if they are not someone else's referral?
I have never received a referral from Fusioncash that I didn't enroll from my own efforts, I don't need charity.

Sorry Annella if my comment was taken the wrong way. I was speaking directly to Oldbuddy, and as I think I have somewhat of a re pore with him, I think he was able to handle the JOKE. No insult was intended. In fact, I never said he WAS in a hot seat, or that one existed. I said "appears" to be in. Whether he felt he was or not, well anyway, we get the point...
To you question you would like an answer to, I would have a question to answer a question, hope you don't mind. My question is this. Should every feature on Fusion Cash benefit every user of Fusion Cash? To my own question I would submit that it does not have to be so. I applaud FC's willingness to make this feature a "possibility" right now. Whether it actually comes to light, is yet to be seen.
I will say this. It didn't take me but a SECOND to notice Oldbuddy's text link, and to visit his splash page, and to track him down elsewhere on the internet. The end result is I found a tool I could use to benefit myself in what it is I do on the Internet. So I see the advantage not only to promote oneself, like Oldbuddy has done, but to benefit myself in seeing what else might be out there, that's working for someone else. And though I have a website of my own (being good, not plugging it), what I got as a benefit today, had nothing to do with that website.
I also see it as quite possible that not everyone will have a need to use this new feature FC is putting out (on a test drive for now). Does that mean that those of us who could use it to our benefit ought not to have it? I would hope not.
If some people are afraid of Email Viruses, then the $0.02 offer would be unbeneficial to them. Should that mean it ought to disappear? I think we would have a riot on our hands if that was the case.
If some people are enjoying the $3.00 Forum bonus, while others don't have time to be bothered with idle, or constructive conversation, should the $3.00 Forum bonus disappear? Again, break out the shields, cuz someone's gonna be throwing stones.
Anyway, I'm not so sure all my comments here are directly thrown at just you Annella. I'm just sorta blabbing away. It's past 2:30am where I am, and my mind isn't as coherent as it was six hours ago. Don't be bothered by much of what I've said. I just felt like sharing some points of view is all. My bet is I'll go to sleep, and wake up tomorrow, and re-read my post here, and wonder how in the world I'm supposed to make sense out of anything I wrote, hehe. And to think, I haven't had any alcohol while writing this thing up.
Now, here's an investment I like. I just put my two cents in, but got $0.10 in return. Not bad!

One last thought, if I might. In a roundabout way, WE ALL BENEFIT from the feature FC is toying with right now. How?
Well, for those of us that find a need in using it, no doubt there will be a cost associated with it. When I messed around with it, a suggested price was $5.00 a day minimum. Whether that holds true when the feature is officially launched, or not, remains to be seen. But think about this a bit.
The Admin made mention that down the road some day (we don't know when), it may be necessary to lower the $3.00 Forum Bonus. For anyone who read up to this sentence, remember I said MAY MAY MAY :) Ok?
Okay, well if this new feature of allowing text links generates income for FC, then wouldn't that potentially delay any consideration of lowering that $3.00 bonus? Whether we use the feature or not, in a way, it does benefit all of us!
Just thought I'd tack that on for good measure.

I have never received a referral from Fusioncash that I didn't enroll from my own efforts, I don't need charity.
Wait a minute, the banner still has to link to a website of some kind wouldn't it? The affiliate programs would have to intertwine somehow and "park"..........somewhere. Or are you talking about linking to Facebook, Twitter, etc? Which you can basically advertise on now without a banner. You can advertise affiliate programs on your own website (buy them) if your garnering sales. I don't see just throwing your banner out there anywhere free, unless you can tie/link them to a viable website of sorts. In order to get "hits" on your banner, it has to reside or pop up somewhere on a website, and that costs money if it's not your own, or it's buried among thousands similar to your own, on the free ones that are not worth it.
I do know that when you have a domain name/website, there is a process you go through to "target" certain words to enable hits to your site. You have to have some pretty decent hits to have one of the viable search engines pick you up. Sorry, I don't know too much about the process as I'm just learning how this works myself. Thing is, you still have to have a website to do it. Advertising is not free unless you can put it on your own sites, or people's sites that you know personally that have their own sites. You can link theirs and they yours gratis. For example, Inbox Dollars or Opinion Outpost, etc., is not going to let your banner pop up on their website without paying some big advertising bucks. Those are the affiliates that would be the most recognizable, and in the same business as FC.
I didn't mean for it to sound like I was accusing you of making a profit. Making a profit is the American Dream and open to us all. You see all the opportunities for a "banner" because you are mapped all over the web and linked out the wazoo. The question about the referrals given to you was to debunk or confirm a rumor.

Hmmm, another night owl. I have trouble sleeping some nights so this gives me time to do some posting.
In answer to your question. No, the option does not have to pertain to everyone, but those who would want to use it. I would hope that FC would not set this in stone and take away the $3 bonus for those who would not use the banner, and only cater to those who would. I can definitely see OldBuddy getting behind this because how "visually present" he is on the web now. That didn't come overnight, as he told me he has been at this 11 years. If you think my campaign is that this new feature should be banned and nobody have it then you have mistaken my postings. However, it should not be the only option for everyone either.
Your comment about the revenue generated from this option could help retain the security of the $3 monthly bonus is humorous. Clearly you have not produced a Profit and Loss Statement or balanced the budget for a big company like I have. Fusion Cash is in the business of making money just like any other business. If they take the $3 bonus away, it's because they want to, because it's cutting into their profits, or they want higher profits. It's not a question of either the banner or the forum bonus. Since when does any business care about the little guy. Now, with that said, let me interject here before they kick my :bootyshake: off of here. They are the best on the web (so far) for their members to earn the fastest. Nobody I know pays a $3 bonus for posting in a forum. However, if they take that away, and just leave the "banner' option, then they are catering to a select few that can generate them income, and shaft everybody else. They become nothing more than the greedy corporations hiding their money off shore....not cool. Why couldn't it be either or (a choice) for the members. Unfortunately 99% would vote for the bonus, because most people don't understand a lot how marketing and advertising works.
Okay, so you benefited today from something you found from OldBuddy's splash page. Did it cost you anything? And you say it wasn't something to benefit your website? It has to link into it someway or somehow correct? If you are promoting yourself, then why wouldn't it link to your website, unless you are going for something totally different and you don't advertise on your site. All I'm saying is how can you just sit out there with a banner and have it not "link" anywhere, or identify you somehow? There has to be some identifying link to "park' somewhere for people to see it, and link it back to you. What I'm saying is that this is possible but is not free and cannot be possible without advertising dollars being spent. even if it's for the $1 website OldBuddy was talking about. It's still buying space. Or like I told Oldbuddy, you can put it on one of those free sites and get buried along with thousands of others just like you.
I'm finally getting tired enough to meet the sandman.

Hey Annella, I think I caused some confusion with my posts the other day. I will try to clarify --
1) The posting bonus is not changing or going away in the short term; in the long term, we may reduce the bonus amount.
2) The advertising on the forum is a separate new feature with which we are experimenting.
3) I am not intending to replace the forum bonus with "advertising credits" or anything like that.
4) I am not intending to change the policy about what is permissible to place in your signature.
5) I am probably going to setup an advertising system where anyone - FC member or not - can purchase banner and/or text ad impressions (or clicks) on the forums.
I recognize that the ability to advertise on the forums is going to appeal to a small percentage of users. Most people without a website have little use for it.
With that said, anyone can host a banner on a free image host and link it to a referral or affiliate link -- so it's definitely possible to make money advertising even if you don't have a website -- but it's not easy, and we'll also have restrictions on the kinds of sites that can be advertised (for example, sites that are direct competitors of FC will not be allowed).
And regarding "offshoring"... a lot of companies in our industry DO take their profits offshore (or to another state). Many of those companies are having trouble with the IRS these days. FC is a California corporation with offices in California, paying (steep, I might add) California taxes. Did you know we'd have a substantially lower corporate tax rate if we moved to Sweden?
And lastly... it's true that if this new forum advertising results in substantial additional income for FC, we'd be less inclined to reduce the forum posting bonus in the future. The posting bonus is (obviously) a "loss leader" and like any business we do pay close attention to our expenses. After all, uncle sam gets almost half our profits...

Just as a point of clarification, I am an affiliate for a group of products that require no website at all and do not conflict with Fusioncash either. All I do is pick one of the banners they host for me and link it to a special code that identifies me as the person who sent the prospect to the sales page and if they make a purchase, it puts the money directly in my PayPal account. So it is very realistic that I could advertise that link on Fusioncash and make money without having a website of my own. The problem is, the demographics of this forum would probably not match up with that kind of product nearly as well as what I have, so I'll spend the buck to have my own. Those that followed the link to my page may have noticed I don't own the domain, so there is no cost there. My hosting account allows me to use their domain free by supplying me a subdomain. There is a LOT to learn about this business, but it's not beyond the reach of anyone who wants to apply themselves.
When advertising by placing a "Banner" or link on a site like Fusioncash, search engines have nothing to do with it. The prospect is shown the "Banner" and goes directly to the site I advertised and big bucks do not need to be involved, there are many places that will allow that to happen for free.

your smart old buddy. you should teach me some of those things you do. :binkybaby:

Your comment about the revenue generated from this option could help retain the security of the $3 monthly bonus is humorous.
Apparently, not so humorous. The Admin concurred my thought in the very next post..."And lastly... it's true that if this new forum advertising results in substantial additional income for FC, we'd be less inclined to reduce the forum posting bonus in the future. The posting bonus is (obviously) a "loss leader" and like any business we do pay close attention to our expenses. After all, uncle sam gets almost half our profits..." Thank you, Admin!
Clearly you have not produced a Profit and Loss Statement or balanced the budget for a big company like I have. Fusion Cash is in the business of making money just like any other business.
Congrats, happy for ya. No, I never have. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out a basic concept of profit and loss, either. While FC pays out $3.00 for a forum bonus, they may take in $5.00 from advertising. That's a gain of $2.00. Certainly, FC could also decide to eliminate the $3.00 expense, and gain $5.00 pure profit. $5.00 is certainly better than $2.00. But, I have a different perspective of FC than to think they would do such a thing. Not to say they wouldn't, or couldn't, but there's something to be said about REPUTATION, too! And I think FC has earned theirs to be far better than the average business.
Since when does any business care about the little guy...They are the best on the web (so far) for their members to earn the fastest...Nobody I know pays a $3 bonus for posting in a forum. However, if they take that away, and just leave the "banner' option, then they are catering to a select few that can generate them income, and shaft everybody else. They become nothing more than the greedy corporations hiding their money off shore....not cool. Why couldn't it be either or (a choice) for the members. Unfortunately 99% would vote for the bonus, because most people don't understand a lot how marketing and advertising works.
WOW! I think we see FC from two different points of view, Annella. "Since when...?" Since FC came along. You're right, they "are the best on the web". Whether that be "so far" or not, doesn't negate the point they are the best NOW! I don't see FC as a "greedy corporation", but rather a "generous, unique, mostly one-of-a-kind, stand out from the rest, business."
Okay, so you benefited today...Did it cost you anything? And you say it wasn't something to benefit your website? It has to link into it someway or somehow correct?
Cost? Noper, no money expense whatsoever. I didn't spend anything, I didn't make anything. What I benefited from was learning a new way to operate my business. I'm sure you've heard that "knowledge is power", and this is how I was benefited by Oldbuddy's ideas. Regrettably, I cannot be more specific here on FC, because we are limited in what we can say. And I value my account on FC. So, you'll either have to take my word for it, which I'm inclined to think you won't, or we'll have to just mute the point.
---------------------------------
Now, just a summary of thoughts here. I feel like Jerry Springer. When this topic was initiated by OldBuddy, he had "proposed" doing away with the $3.00 bonus, and...
In it's place, if you have over 30 quality posts you get to have a link in your signature for the rest of that month. :dontknow:
I later proposed a modification to this proposal that FC gives us the OPTION to use our $3.00 bonus (we have to receive it first to use it - so I was suggesting keeping the $3.00 bonus), and spend it on an advertisement in our Signature, or whatever. In other words, keep both options. Keep the bonus, and allow those of us who wanted to, to use it to "further our cause", so to speak. Those that had no need of such a thing, obviously would just keep their $3.00 bonus. That's the venue I've been speaking from, in case you missed it somewhere among these now 15 pages of text.
The Admin later came along and announced that there was no immediate plans to eliminate the $3.00 bonus, but in the long run, may re-evaluate the amount of that bonus. In the same breath, they also took Oldbuddy's suggestion to heart, and asked what those interested would be willing to pay for advertising. They launched a "beta-test" so to speak on placing a text ad in the forums. This process is still undergoing construction, if you will.
My point being (wait, did I have a point somewhere? hehe), the conversation got started with Either One, or The Other, but later developed to a COMPROMISE point of view. To which, FC/Admin is considering the best options for all involved. I'm happy FC is considering both options. I'm thrilled they are at least coming to the negotiation table, and not being so dogmatic about this particular issue. For that, I applaud FC and the Admin(s) involved! I also applaud Oldbuddy for having the nerve to get the ball rolling on an issue that has been shall we say "taboo" for so long.
Annella, I'm a little lost in your comments. I'm not sure what it is you're against. And I'm hoping maybe you can in a nice sorta way, bottomline it for me. Or maybe I'll just go back and re-read everything again, and see if maybe I missed something within these 15 pages. Are you absolutely against the banner/text ad proposal? I know there's been no precedent for it, and so maybe you'd like to just leave well enough alone. Or maybe because you yourself cannot benefit from the concept, you'd rather nobody else does. Kind of selfish if that's the case - not saying it is. I'm confused, remember? Couldn't we have both things happening simultaneously? A Forum Bonus, and the ability to promote oneself within it? I mean, have you looked at Oldbuddy's signature lately? He's suggesting people hunt him down on Google. Should he be allowed to do that? In a way, he's pointing people to a place that will inevitably get people to his website(s). Yet, there's no immediate link in his signature. How about our NAMES. If you typed mine in Google, U2BMATH, you would find me on the internet too. Should FC limit our FC Forum names to our real first names, to eliminate that possibly? I think not, and I think that would be hard to enforce anyway. We all know how creative people can be.
Anyway, I'm glad the Admin chimed in today to clarify many points. And then here I go rambling again, hehe. Maybe there ought to be a limit to the size of one's post? But then how would you limit the amount of smaller posts? hehe.

I just started so I dont know how I fee about this as of yet, it seems a little confusing with everything that has been said here. I am going to try a few things to get referals and see how that goes. Why don't we do that on our own and than keep the forum posting that way we get referals and paid for postings.
-
I just put in for my $3 bonus for August and the first week isn't even over yet, but let me tell you why being too cheap is not conducive to making money online (people notice)
I tend to go the other direction and it pays off. For example, I just joined a free auction website that lets you list stuff you no longer need to sell for credits, then use the credits to buy stuff someone else doesn't need. I see the potential there, so I just went out and purchased a brand new DVD for "First Wives Club". Most of the people I noticed active on the site were women, so I figure having a DVD about how wives got even with conniving husbands would appeal to them and the bids would go higher.
So why spend FIVE BUCKS (plus offering free shipping) to get free credits to bid on more free stuff I probably don't really need? It's all about recognition and this is just a start. Now if someone bids high and BUYS my CD with their free credits, would you think they might be a person that LIKES free stuff? So when I ship them the DVD you can bet there will be a promo in there about how I make free money online!!! Get it?
Now when I start blogging about this (real soon) you can bet it will lead to even more referrals that earn me more free credits so I can be more active and make more friends, then project that ahead for a year or two and you might see the vision. All the while I am adding to my image and building my following for almost NOTHING, instead of spending AdWords cash that just makes Google richer.
Oh did I mention, that FIVE BUCKS I spent will come back as credits that I can buy more stuff I can list for sale later and my net cost should be maybe a buck for a few more good leads.
Make sense?
IN RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE:
what site do you use that will give you credit and all that like you explained. I am trying to get disability and all i am able to do is get online every once in a while. We cant afford some of the things we need or want if i can find a way to get those things and not cost a lot of money and maybe make a little money without hurting my chances of getting disability. because i have to watch how much i make. And just typing this my hands are hurting.

Unfortunately I can't give you a link to the site under the current rules, but that's why this discussion has been taking place and Fusioncash is starting to loosen up and allow us to advertise a little.

Thank you Admin. and you did clarify it better than anyone else. You understood what I was saying and the difficulty understanding the concept of advertising without a website to link it to. You did it with fewer words and more panache. This quote of yours is especially appreciated:
I recognize that the ability to advertise on the forums is going to appeal to a small percentage of users. Most people without a website have little use for it.
With that said, anyone can host a banner on a free image host and link it to a referral or affiliate link -- so it's definitely possible to make money advertising even if you don't have a website -- but it's not easy, and we'll also have restrictions on the kinds of sites that can be advertised (for example, sites that are direct competitors of FC will not be allowed).
I know you are in California. Your only about 2 1/2 hours away from me. I go to Santa Cruz sometimes and visit the boardwalk on a long weekend. Yes, I'm sure you could pay cheaper taxes somewhere else besides this State. The comment of moving your proceeds off shore was not to take aim directly at you, but big corporations in general. It's been my experience that most business's are not "touchy feely", but are chained to the bottom line. In light of saying that, I've found you to be more than fair with your members as I said before.
I posted earlier in this thread that the bonus is probably a "loss leader" (good analogy), as it comes right out of your pockets to ours, with nothing to boost the revenue of it. It would be nice if this new option could generate revenue to keep the status quo ($3 bonus). Since I was not sure this was your intention, my posts were merely "what ifs".
It's been an interesting thread.

For one thing (the main thing) is your interpretation of what I said is totally incorrect. Go read my response to Fusion Cash Admin. I never once said I was against the idea of advertisement, but that it would only appeal to those with the skills to make it work without a website. A point that Admin even said was not easy, and would have strict restrictions.
Just trying to understand the ins and outs of the proposal and what it could/could not mean to members in the future. I especially don't like you taking my words and spinning them in a negative fashion like I was verbally downgrading Fusion Cash. I have worked for big business's many years, and pretty much know how they think. It's also not rocket science to put your complete trust in any business, or government. A fact that has been made crystal clear in the last few weeks via Washington. Can you say diversify? Did you even read the positive I wrote concerning Fusion Cash? Or just skip over it to jump on the negative?
And just what makes you think you can predict what I will believe or not? I'm a person on a forum you have NEVER met. If you think you pissed me off....you would be correct in that assessment
Dear Fusion Cash, please give Mike extra brownie points for defending your virtue against Annella who is probably at this very minute trying to find a way to bring you down. Get real :BangHead:

Sorry to give Annella the last word, U2B, but I am closing this thread because:
1) it's too long and unwieldy
2) keeps getting interrupted by people who only read the title before replying, and
3) y'all really just shouldn't talk to each other. :peace: & :heart:
