Project PayDAy - A Legit Business?

By Robert Strong


Well here's the lowdown on Project Payday:

So this is how it goes. You go online and join get a free bottle of the most recent snake oil. This snake oil typically costs $100 a bottle, but all you have got to pay is a postage and packing charge of 5 bucks. All you have got to do is send me your bill and I will send you a check for perhaps $25, which covers your effort and time, which should also include the time you'll take to cancel the automated monthly shipment of your snake oil, if you don't then, you'll be billed for it.

Sounds cool does it not? You only need to pay five bucks and receive a check for $25, which is an automated $20 profit for 5 minutes work. The affiliate that referred you receives a bigger check than you do. Whatever, everyone is just as happy as a lark, nobody loses right? Someone does lose and that is the company.

But Is This Ethical?

The above is an illustrative example of what's called incentivized promoting, and Project Payday is a web course that instructs you how to make royalties promoting cost per action offers in a similar way.

Are you acquainted with CPA offers? These frequently start out with a trial offer, maybe offering something for which you just have to pay shipping and handling, the hope being that the company will get additional sales and payments later .

Have you seen any advertising banners that offer you iPods, Money, or Portables just to complete a survey? Those are called "Incentivized Freebie Websites" or IFWs and are the guts of Project Payday scam model.

These corporations actually will give you the freebie after completing a survey or a certain number of affiliate offers, there is however a catch. Before you qualify to get the item in question you must either give up your private information, finish a minimum number of trial offers, agree to a once per month auto shipment, or hire a half-dozen of your relatives and buddies to complete the same offer.

Of course there might be folks that are genuinely interested in a certain service or product and of course that's a different situation maybe they do need a once per month supply of acne cream! But this is an affiliate internet marketing scheme which fundamentally bribes you into completing an offer and then tells you can cancel it straight afterwards the company whose product it is, is getting cheated.

This may be a win for you and the referring affiliate , but the company loses massively because they paid a commission for what actually amounts to a fake client who really had no interest in the service being offered. So the answer to the question : "Is project pay day ethical?" is pretty clear. It depends completely on which side of the fence you sit and your own sense of wrong and right.

That having been said, there plenty of folks making six-figure even seven-figure incomes working part time from home promoting CPA offers. The difference is they promote the offers in such a fashion as to attraction people that are sincerely curious about at least trying the product. It is a proven model and it works well after you master the science and art of marketing.
