It's down with a database error. Most likely something on the hosting end of things.

It's back up now.

I was paid for project one. I only posted one ad and so I didn't get very much money. I am now working on project 5 and have not seen anymore money. I am hoping that this is a good company and that all the people who are posting ads will eventually get paid. It would be nice to have an update or at least an idea when the next payments will be sent out.

You will get paid. Their communication is really not good at all. They leave you hanging and then they pop up out of the blue with an excuse go figure. I am not posting again until they know what they are doing. I don't have time to play games and waste time.

Good luck to all of you.

Unless they've changed something, they also do not pay per ad that you post. They pay solely on a commission basis. Last time around, the commission was pooled and split up amongst the ad posters.

I have been paid for project one. They do not pay per ad that you post, it is pooled but there is also a new way to earn in addition to the pooled.

I have done several posts like a lot of the rest of you. I am becoming nervous bout getting paid too, but trying to hold out. I know they were looking to hire wah people to handle other parts of the job. There was a fellow worker handing out the assignments, so they are trying to distribute out the workload to make things run more smoothly. I also haven't been paid for project one. But, I am also holding out for the best.

Project #1 was already paid out, you might want to send an email or PM to check on that.

I just began at the beginning of Project #5 so I guess it will be quite some time before I see any pay. This makes me a little nervous also.

I did. They missed my confirmation links somehow but said I'll get paid soon...I may hold off on posting anymore until I do at least get paid for the first project. Has anyone who is being paid by check been paid yet?

This was posted on the site March 10:

Hello everyone,

I am closing this project and will not be posting another until I sort a few things out. I need to have time to process payments which means I have to sort data from the last 6 projects and it is excruciatingly slow.

Also, I want to make a few tweaks to things before we get going again. The new campaigns are getting a lot of response, some more than Xbox 360 repairs. However, because it's not optimal they are converting like crap.

In the meantime I will be posting some things around here that might help everyone make some extra money, check back when you can.

Thanks again everyone, emails and calls are still coming in so it will be a good while before everything is 'totaled out' completely. Let's see if we can get something easier to manage going and now that I have some help try to avoid future hiccups.

I will finish out my last 5 and go from there I guess.

I received this today also. I am glad I didn't go back and post more ads. As I said previously if they ever get it together I may try it again.

I haven't posted any new ads for a few days, and have not even been to the forum. Has anyone heard about whether payments for any projects are any closer to being paid out? I'm still waiting to be paid for project #1 and probably will ask about it again. Has anyone who is having their payment mailed to them been paid yet?

Project #2 was paid out today. While PayPal didn't send the usual notification email, I logged into PayPal and it was there.

JoAnnB

This is the email I received today from them.


Hello everyone,

I apologize for being unavailable the last couple of days, we had to go through some unexpected ownership changes for our offline business which required a lot of meetings, paperwork and headaches.

Anyhow, payments have been sent for Project #2. We make all payments by Paypal to the email address registered to the forums. If that is not your Paypal email you can add it to your current account to claim the payment. If this is not possible please edit your forum email to your paypal email so payments will clear.

Project #2 worked out to $1.22 per post. While we feel that this is a great number we also feel that it's not so good in context. When we started this campaign we did not expect things to be so difficult. We've been posting multiple ads to Craigslist with both confirmed and unregistered accounts for a long time. I've never ran into so many problems until this started.

In short, we wanted you to make $1.22 per post but be able to make 100 posts per day! $122 would be great for a couple of hours of work I think?

Anyhow, we are working on fixing this but a few things will have to change. We definitely need someone to manage all aspects of each project type including emails and possibly phone.

Also, we'll have to show you how to get some extra traffic without extra work but it will require a few things. We still want you to make a lot of money so we're doing all that we can.

I'll keep everyone updated as possible. I still have a few things going on around here but I'll post when I can. The new ownership will allow me a lot more time for this after a few days of extra work to get situated.

Thanks again,

WMArmy

Hi,
I also received the same email & the payment for posting as well.

Yep, I got the same email and payment for project #2. Still haven't been paid for project #1, but I'm sure that will come. I am thankful to have other work to depend on while the kinks get worked out.

Not sure what kind of math they are using, but I can't figure out how from my 15 posts, I got paid only $3.66 for project 2 if it was supposed to be $1.22 per post. This is not worth my time until they get this right.

Maybe if you are required to make a set of 5 posts, it counts as one?

You sure that was project 2 you did 15 posts for? I got paid correctly for the amount of posts I did. Maybe they just messed up something and miscounted yours or something.

Nothing new. Just projects #1 and #2 have been paid out. (6 projects in total, all should be complete by now).

Sounds like this ended up being a scam-sorry to hear it. Since it sounds like he just wanted people to spam Craigslist for him I wouldn't be surprised if he got into some trouble with them and that's why he's disappeared. Very unprofessional and rude, whatever the cause. I hope none of you are owed large sums!

Not overly large per post, though a fair number of ad postings for projects #3 - #6 that where not paid out. The ads posted do contain a phone number.

all of my ads are expired so I tried to click on the link to retrieve the posting and it would not allow me to. I believe they may have disabled the links so that we cannot contact them. if anyone has a phone number for them I would appreciate it.

Alternately one could download the ads off the forum again. But sent you the number.

I did one posting for # 2 & got paid also.
After reading the terms of craiglist that it is illegal to post ad for 3rd party... I didn't post any thing.Earning money from home is OK but earning illegally is different in my opinion...

BerryWriter

I suggest everyone avoid this "job" like the plague. I was reading Craiglist's Terms of Service this morning as I signed up for an account to post an ad for my services and it specifically states that the use of "Posting Agents" (third parties you pay to post ads for you) are strictly prohibited and the agents themselves can be held liable for a $100 fine for every ad they post. I don't know if CL has ever actually enforced this but it is there in their terms

Sorry so many people got ripped off by this guy. At best he's unprofessional and irresponsible, at worst, he's a spammer and scam artist.
