Can You Earn $750+ Per Month With P2PMarketer?

First things first: P2PMarketer does not set or determine how much you can earn. Advertisers, who create e-mail campaigns at P2PMarketer, set the prices that we pay to P2PMarketer users. Each e-mail campaign has a budget and size of the target audience, both specified by the advertiser.

For example, an advertiser may set $200 for the budget and specify 10,000 e-mails as a target audience. P2PMarketer shares 50% of the advertising budget with its users. This means that in the just mentioned example, a user would earn 1 cent for each sent e-mail.

Naturally, competition among advertisers comes into the picture. The more the advertisers pay the more appealing their campaigns become.

As mentioned above, P2PMarketer does not set prices. However, we will always advice the advertisers to set higher payouts. From our point of view, a 4-5 cents per sent e-mail is a square deal.

Let's take a P2PMarketer user who has 50 contacts. Let's further assume that at any day, there are 50 advertising campaigns each paying 2 cents per sent e-mail and that 50% of user's contacts will find those campaigns interesting. This means that a user can send 50 campaigns to 25 contacts and earn 2 cents on each email.

A simple calculation shows that a user can earn: 50 campaigns x 25 contacts x $0.02 = $25.

By sending e-mails 30 days a month, a user can earn $750 monthly.

Of course this is not enough to make P2PMarketer a full-time job for many users. However, this amount is 15% of the monthly income of a person with a $5,000 monthly salary.

Now imagine a person with 100 contacts. There are many people who have more than 100 contacts in their address books.

What do you think? Does it make sense to take advantage of P2PMarketer and make money? It's up to you to decide. Our philosophy is to create a mutually beneficial system where everybody wins!

If you think P2PMarketer is worth to give it a try, download the P2PMarketer Client now.

Will P2PMarketer Turn Into Social Spamming?

Yesterday I had a pretty interesting e-mail correspondence with Ades Tynyshev of http://www.adesblog.com/. Ades Tynyshev, who is Kyrgyz Republic's first full-time blogger, has expressed his fear that P2PMarketer may become a social spamming vehicle. This fear is pretty legitimate and we have given a careful evaluation to it. We would like to thank Ades for his sincere concern. His feedback, as well as opinion expressed by other people, is extremely valuable.

P2PMarketer already has a number of strong self-regulating mechanisms to prevent spam. Moreover, the idea of P2PMarketer is to reduce spam by introducing human factor in e-mail advertising.

Let's start with an essential question. Why does spam exist at all? Spam exists because spamming is economically profitable and spammers make profits. In other words, spamming has strong economic grounds.

We have a totally different picture at P2PMarketer.

First, in order for P2PMarketer users to get paid, they must achieve a certain level of Click-through rate (CTR), currently set to 5%. In other words, for every 100 sent e-mails, at least 5 recipients must visit the advertiser's web site.

Second, every recipient has an option to send a spam warning with just one click. If a P2PMarketer user receives spam warnings from 30 unique recipients, the user becomes banned from the system and loses his/her earnings.

These mechanisms make spamming less attractive at P2PMarketer. On the opposite, P2PMarketer members must invest some time into organizing their contacts and sending only relevant e-mails to them. Let's review a quick hypothetical example.

Suppose a P2PMarketer user John has 50 contacts. Some of his contacts may have interests in mobile phones, some of the contacts may be interested in gambling, yet other contacts may find new healthcare products interesting and so on. Thus, when John has an option to send a new e-mail campaign, he evaluates which of his contacts may find the e-mail relevant and interesting.

If John decides to send irrelevant e-mails to all of his contacts (to make more money), he risks getting involved in spamming. Sooner or later, his contacts will become unsatisfied with John's action and may ask him to stop spamming by sending them irrelevant e-mails. If John keeps spamming, the contacts have a choice to send a spam warning to John.

The morale of this example is that P2PMarketer users must strive to send e-mails to their real contacts only and do their homework to send relevant e-mails.

If you compare this to traditional mass-mailing, you can quickly see the difference. Even the best opt-in e-mail lists cannot be as effective as a decision made by a person to send or not to send e-mail campaigns to certain recipients.

Again, the idea of P2PMarketer is to introduce human factor in e-mail advertising.

P2PMarketer is just starting operations and we realize that there might be many pitfalls and subtle moments to make the system more perfect.

Your comments, suggestions, criticism and questions are welcome at any time.
