Crazy Good - A Paid Social Networking Site

The affiliate compensation structure of Crazy Good is on a Multi-Tiered MLM Basis through 5 levels and offers unlimited width of direct referrals.  Privacy is the paramount feature touted here.  All search engines are blocked from crawling the site, a plus if privacy is a concern to you when using a social network.
The site is ad free and the only one we’ve reviewed which is.  The compensation plan is very simple and easy to understand.  The overall investment to be a member is relatively low at $10/mo.  They are the only paying social network we have seen that has mobile apps.  Considering a large portion of people accessing social networks are using smart phones we find it hard to believe others aren’t doing so.  Kudos to Crazy Good for working on this.
Due to the site’s privacy standards, the minimum age to participate in Crazy Good is 13.  This is significantly lower than other networks.
Paypal is the payment provider they are using to compensate their Affiliates.  In our view this is a positive as Paypal is globally recognized and their fees are reasonable compared to other payment providers.
Crazy Good should be commended as they not only believe in supporting good causes they live by what they say.  The first 10% of all member fees goes to charity and the users have a say in what charity receives the needed funds.
On the downside Crazy Good only pays a total 50% of member fees to affiliates.  We think this is a bit low when comparing them to other monetary social networks.  The only other negative we have with Crazy Good is there is no free option to use the site.    If you want to use Crazy Good you must sign up as a paying user from the start.
One interesting feature parents may like is they can have up to 2 sub accounts at no additional charge.  These could be used for other family members or children and the parents would be able to not only monitor what is going on but be safe in the knowledge they won’t be exposed to advertising.
We should note, Crazy Good does offer an option to apply to be a Non-Member Affiliate.  Meaning being an affiliate but not a paying member or user of the site.   We doubt they will approve many to do so and our best guess is, it’s an option only for legal reasons.  If you want to market Crazy Good as an affiliate but not be a paying member, we say move on.

Affiliate Compensation:

Crazy Good’s compensation plan is very straight forward.  They charge $10/mo membership fee to use the site.  They give 10% off the top to a charity selected by the users, give 50% to the affiliates, and keep 40% for themselves.  They pay a 10% referral commission, which is $1.00, on each level through 5 levels of referrals.

Example Earnings:

Example 1 – Each user pays $10/mo and each brings in 3 users
Level People Earn $1/user
Direct 3 $3.00
Level 2 9 $9.00
Level 3 27 $27.00
Level 4 81 $81.00
Level 5 243 $243.00
Total 363 $363.00/mo
Example 2 – Each user pays $10/mo and each brings in 6 users
Level People Earn $1/user
Direct 6 $6.00
Level 2 36 $36.00
Level 3 216 $216.00
Level 4 1,296 $1,296.00
Level 5 7,776 $7,776.00
Total 9,330 $9,330.00/mo

Recommendation:

If you are serious about making money through monetary social networking, Crazy Good is a no brainer.  It’s low cost membership and simple compensation plan make it easy to market.
If privacy is your driving factor in considering a paying social network, then Crazy Good should be your first choice as they have the best privacy controls of all the monetary social networks.   If money is your primary motivating factor and you’re only willing to consider one paying network then we’d suggest Doubster as it has the highest paying compensation plan.
Please note we are advocates of being a paid social networker and making money in more than one network at the same time.

MLM Social - A Paid Social Networking Site

MLM Social started in early 2010 as a social network for those in the network marketing industry. In April 2011 they released the optional upgrade opportunity to earn an income from the site. Anyone 18yrs+ may join the site for free and connect with other like minded network marketers.
MLM Social offers a Multi-Tiered (MLM) opportunity for both free and upgraded members. Free members are paid reduced commissions through 2 levels of referrals on any referred upgraded members, and upgraded members receive full commissions through a generous 8 levels of referrals with unlimited width. We think the choice to offer commissions to free users is a mistake and ultimately think few will upgrade as most will join for free and then refer others in the hopes some will upgrade, thinking that once they earn enough off their referrals they’ll then upgrade. Unfortunately this line of thinking is pervasive and it creates a situation where almost everyone joins for free, few upgrade, and in the end hardly anyone makes any money.
Upgraded membership cost $19.95/mo or $199.95 if paid annually. This is about in the middle of the pack compared to what other networks are charging. Ultimately we think it’s a little high. The compensation plan pays out a total of 15% to free members and 55% of revenue to upgraded members. While this is better than a lot of the other paying social networks we still think it’s pretty low.  They use Alertpay to pay their users and unfortunately only pay once a month.
The site itself has some of the richest features of all the paying social networks. It’s relatively easy to navigate and figure out. They have an MLM Directory of other network marketing companies. While no directory will contain every opportunity it appears to be pretty extensive and our guess is, it’s the largest most up to date listing of MLM opportunities on the net.
They offer upgraded members the ability to place rotating advertising banners on the home page and other pages of the site at no extra cost. Considering the site has a fair amount of traffic and free users this might be a reason to consider upgrading, that is if you’re marketing another opportunity. Ultimately we think MLM Social will become one of the largest networks of network marketers with most of them being free users hawking their other chosen opportunity to other users.
The thing we like best about the site is the back office tools. They offer the most extensive set of tools and reports of any of the social networks that pay. A novice user will most likely be intimidated by all the options, however they are all quite useful. Power users will undoubtedly love all the tracking features and options.

Affiliate Compensation:

Free Users: Earn commissions on any referred users who upgrade to being paid users on 2 levels of referrals Direct referrals earn 10% and level 2 referrals earn 5%
Upgraded Members: Earn through 8 levels of referrals 40% on level 1, 5% on level 2, 5% on level 3, and 1% each on levels 4-8.

Example Earnings:

We are only showing compensation examples for upgraded members. Check MLM Social’s site for more examples.
You are an upgraded member and refer 3 paying members who refer 3 through 8 levels of referrals.
Level People $19.95/mo Commission %
Direct 3 $59.85 $23.94 40
L2 9 $179.55 $8.98 5
L3 27 $538.65 $26.93 5
L4 81 $1,615.95 $16.16 1
L5 243 $4,847.85 $48.48 1
L6 729 $14,543.55 $145.44 1
L7 2,187 $43,630.65 $436.31 1
L8 6,561 $130,891.95 $1,308.92 1
Total 9,840 $196,308.00 $2,015.15/mo 55%

Recommendation:

We definitely think you should join MLM Social as a free user at minimum. However we are mixed about whether you should become and upgraded member or not. While we like the site, as we mentioned in the review due to the 19.95/mo price and the fact they will pay free users through 2 levels of referrals, we think almost everyone will join for free hoping someone they refer will upgrade and if that happens then they will. Thus we think it’s a tough sell and most users won’t make any money.
So, if you are a network marketer MLM Social is a good place to connect with other like minded people to exchange and share ideas.

People String - Paid social network site


People String is a monetary social network and web portal which shares 70% of all ad revenue with active users.  They are the Editors Choice for the Best Free Paying Social Network.  It’s free to join and has all the function of a traditional social network along with their patent pending Insta Portal feature.
People String compensates both free and premium members, which they call Entrepreneurs.  There are 5 ways to earn money at no cost to the users, and by using the site each day one can easily be able to make a few dollars a month.  No big deal, right?  Well, this is where it gets interesting.  If you refer someone and they sign up for a free account you get 10% of anything they earn.  So, if they earn a buck in the month you get 10 cents.  Again no big deal.   If they sign up people and so on, on levels 2 through 6 you get 3% on each level.  A HUGE deal.   For those who upgrade to Entrepreneur Memberships ($300 one time) the earnings increase to 20% on direct referrals and 6% on levels 2-6.
It’s important to understand the terminology on People String and to take the time to train yourself.  If you don’t you’ll be one that says it doesn’t work and only makes a few cents.  Their events calendar has plenty of great training available and we encourage users to take the time to learn all they can to maximize their earnings.
The 5 ways to earn money with People String are.
  1. People Points – Are earned based upon your usage and referrals to People String. The points are used to determine how to share advertising revenue with the users.  The end of each month the counter resets.  People String distributes 70% of its revenue to the users on a periodic basis as revenue is received. Typically every 4-6 weeks.  The more you use it the more you make!
  2. People Dollars – Sections of the site offer People Dollars and are marked accordingly. Take survey’s, demo products, play games, visit an advertisers site, etc. 100 People Dollars = $1 USD. Upon earning them they are converted and immediately shown in your Current Earnings and Transaction Details pages.
  3. Mailbox Cashbox – Take surveys and Opt in to receiving postal mail ads and receive cash for doing so.- Only good for those in the US & Canada at present
  4. People Shopping – Shop at any of the participating stores and receive rebates from the merchants into your account.
  5. People Products – Is a set of electronic products being offered to businesses-this is currently in beta testing.  There is a one time $300 lifetime payment required to participate in this portion.  When it is officially launched there will be an ongoing monthly fee to participate in this portion of the site.
The best way to make money with People String is to not only invite all your friends but you need to log into the site everyday and make sure and earn a few People Points and use the site.  The more the site is used the more ads display the more money can be made.
People String starts out agonizingly slow for everyone.  The only thing you can do wrong is give up.  If you join as a free member and only invite others to be free users, don’t expect to make much for at least the first 6 months of daily usage.  You will need to get approximately 1000 people in your down string before you will start to see much of any compensation from the ad sharing portion.  If you are an Entrepreneur and recruiting others to be Entrepreneurs you will start to realize returns much quicker.
Entrepreneur membership is a one time upgrade investment of $300 and comes with enhanced marketing tools.  For those who can’t afford the hefty entrance fee, you can still make a decent income as a free user and we’d encourage you to bring in free users until you have several hundred in your down string at which point upgrading becomes reasonable.
From want we have experienced to date, user in North America seem to get larger Ad revenue shares each month.  We can only guess that this is due to a larger number of advertisers in the US & Canada.  Thus if you do not live in North America, we would encourage you to focus your recruiting efforts there to maximize your income.  Note any new member regardless of where they are is good though.
People String only pays free users once a month and it isn’t on consistent date, which is frustrating to most.  It seems to happen between the first and second week of each month.  Entrepreneurs get paid twice a month.  You must have a minimum balance of $25 before they will send you money using Alertpay.  If you are in the US you can also select direct deposit to avoid Alerpay’s fees.
The only glaring negative we found is People Strings support is super slow to non-existent.  In the few inquiries we’ve sent them we either never got a response or it took days.  You most likely will have better luck using the forums on the site.
People String is based in NJ and went public in Jan 2011.  Their ticker symbol is PLPE and you can see all there financials on the SEC website.

Affiliate Compensation:

Up to 70% of the revenues earned by PeopleString are distributed to its members. The percentage of earnings received by an individual varies monthly and is determined by both their status as a free or Entrepreneur member and the user’s usage of the site as compared to all other users. When money is earned, the transactions will appear in the back office of the individual user and be credited to current earnings. Once the current earnings reach $25.00, payments are made to free users once a month and paid users twice a month. Users must complete the appropriate tax forms (w-8 or w-9) and select a payment method in order to receive payment.
Free users receive a 10% referral commission on earnings of anyone they referred directly and 3% on levels 2-6.  Entrepreneur members receive 20% on direct referrals and 6% on levels 2-6

Example Earnings:

Example 1: Each user earns a very conservative $1/mo in advertising revenue and each user refers 6 free users.  This shows what you would earn if you were a free user and what you’d earn if you were an Entrepreneur.
Level People $1/mo/user ad share Free User Entrepreneur
Direct 6 $6 $0.60 $1.20
L 2 36 $36 $1.08 $2.16
L 3 216 $216 $6.48 $12.96
L 4 1296 $1,296 $38.88 $77.76
L 5 7776 $7,776 $233.28 $466.56
L 6 46656 $46,656 $1,399.68 $2,799.36
Total 55986 $55,986 $1,680.00/mo $3,360.00/mo
Example 2:  Each user earns $3/mo in advertising revenue and each user refers 6 free users.  This shows what you would earn if you were a free user and what you’d earn if you were an Entrepreneur.
Level People $3/mo/user ad share Free User Entrepreneur
Direct 6 $18.00 $1.80 $3.60
L 2 36 $108.00 $3.24 $6.48
L 3 216 $648.00 $19.44 $38.88
L 4 1296 $3,888.00 $116.64 $233.28
L 5 7776 $23,328.00 $699.84 $1,399.68
L 6 46656 $139,968.00 $4,199.04 $8,398.08
Total 55986 $167,958.00 $5,038.74/mo $10,077.48/mo

Recommendation:

People String is a solid company and one of the older monetary social networks.  Since it’s free we think everyone should join.  To make money as a free user though, you and your down string will need to use the site regularly to make an income.  Many give up because it starts out amazingly slow.  You have to have patients if you want to build it as a free user.  Plan on it taking months and thousands of people before you will make any reasonable money from the ad sharing.  The best part, it’s free to join and make money so even those on a tight budget can do it.
For those who are serious, the Entrepreneur membership is the way to go.  Know if you go Entrepreneur you’ll need to refer other Entrepreneurs or your income will start very small just as it does for the free users.

  • Free users  get paid – Revue comes from Ads
  • 70% payout to affiliates of all company revenue
  • Pays through 6 levels of referrals
  • Been in operation over two years
  • The company is public PLPE in the USA
  • Registered with the SEC     SEC Filings

Cons:

  • Starts out very slow.  Most users won’t make much for the a long time, unless they have a very large preexisting network to draw from.
  • Customer Support is virtually non-existent.   They are super slow to respond or don’t respond to inquiries at all.
  • The terminology is at first a bit confusing to most.  Make sure and read their FAQ or our in-depth review to understand how to make money with People String.
  • Much harder to earn money for those outside North America

Other Factors:

  • Must be 18+ years old
  • It is a multi-tiered (MLM) opportunity
  • Usage based compensation.  To make money with People String you will need to be patient as you refer others and most importantly you and your down-line will need to use the site regularly.
  • Since the site pays it’s users based on sharing the advertising revenue it works best for those in the USA, Canada, & Australia at this time.  If you live outside these areas it still works, however there are less ads in other areas.  Therefore if you are outside North America, we recommend focusing on bringing in referrals in these areas.
