| Q: |
How
can advertisers pay
users more than $20/hour? |
| A: |
The
average cost of banners today is $34/hour for 1000 impressions
(the banner comes up 1000 times). The average click through rate
of users is only around 0.8% which means that the advertiser is
paying over $4 for every visit. BePaid.com is therefore in direct
competition with banner advertisements because advertisers can
show users "full screen ads" with all they have to offer
and additionally get a very high visit rate through the use of the
"Golden Link" (users get an extra payment for visiting
the advertisers site). By using BePaid.com this will only cost
them around 20 cents - $1.50. |
| Q: |
When
will the AdVision be released? |
| A: |
The
updated version of the AdVision software will be distributed in
connection with our launch in the US. The tentative date is
set for February 2000. We are planning the launch with our PR
agency and renovating an office in NYC amongst numerous issues
that are to be finalized prior to the launch. We remind you that
all BePaid members will be notified by e-mail including instructions
associated with the downloading procedures of the AdVision when we
start re-distributing it.
|
| Q: |
When
do I get paid? |
| A: |
You get
paid each month when your account exceeds $20. Your check will be
sent to you by mail. If your compensation was under $20, it will
be transferred to the next month and added to your total.
|
| Q: |
Do
I have to be browsing the Internet to receive ads? |
| A: |
No, you
don't have to surf the Internet to receive ads. As long as you are
connected, you can receive advertisements!
|
| Q: |
How
do the advertisements appear? |
| A: |
When
you are connected to the Internet and an ad is waiting for you,
the AdVision Control will appear on the right hand corner of
your screen. It shows you what company offers the
advertisement and how much they offer you for watching it. You can
then decide if you accept the offer or not. If you accept, the
AdVision appears (800x600 pixels) on your screen and the ad runs
inside it.
If you do not want to see
any advertisements, you can always choose "See ad later"
(20 minutes pause) or "no more ads" (12 hours pause).
You do not lose the advertisements when you choose one of these
options. They are only on hold until you have time to watch them.
|
| Q: |
How
much do I get paid? |
| A: |
The
advertisements last normally for 5-30 seconds, that is while
the buttons on the AdVision are inactive. When they become active you
can click the "Close" button to turn off the AdVision or
the "Visit" button if you want to see the advertiser's
homepage. During this time you will be paid minimum $20 an hour
which is a minimum limit enforced by BePaid.com. This in fact
means that the absolute minimum is 16 cents per 30 second pop-up.
You can always refuse offers that you think are too low. This way
you will create a market where there is some minimum amount
required to get you to accept the advertisements. You might for
example decide to never accept ad offers where the offer is less
than $50 an hour.
If the Visit button
is Golden ("Golden Link") you will get additional 10
cents for visiting the advertiser's site.
|
| Q: |
How
does the referral system work? |
| A: |
With the
referral program, you can increase your earnings
considerably. You can get your friends and family to register with
you as their referrer. This way you will be paid a percentage of
their compensation for viewing advertisements. They can
also refer BePaid to their friends and family and you will also
get a commission from their earnings.

in September 2000. |
