3. WHY WOULD ADVERTISERS PAY USERS FOR WATCHING ADS? The average cost of banner advertisements today is $34 per 1000 impressions (or people who view a site where a banner is located). This approach costs advertisers money regardless of whether the person actually clicks on the banner or is even interested in viewing the ad. The average click-through rate (people who actually click the banner to visit an advertiser’s site) is only around 0.8%. This means that for every thousand impressions, only 8-10 people actually click through the banner to the advertiser’s site. In other words, advertisers are paying at least $4 for every person who clicks through via the banner. bepaid.com is a better option for advertisers. By registering as a member, and providing basic information about yourself, advertisers are able to contact you via the AdVision Control with advertisements specifically tailored to your needs and interests. When a member actively chooses to view an ad, advertisers are certain that they are reaching an interested consumer. As such, they are eliminating the wasted dollars spent on banner ads aimed at a broad, undefined audience, in the hope of reaching a few interested viewers.

     

4. WHEN DO I GET PAID ? You get paid each month, as long as your account exceeds $20. If your compensation is under $20 for a given month, the amount will be transferred to the next month and added to your total.

 

5. DO I HAVE TO BE BROWSING THE INTERNET TO RECEIVE ADS ? No, you don't have to surf the Internet to receive ads. As long as you are connected, you can receive advertisements!

 

6. HOW DO THE ADVERTISEMENTS APPEAR? Once you connect to the Internet, ads will automatically download to the AdVision Control. The Control will then appear in the right hand corner of your computer screen. It will show you what company is offering an advertisement and how much they will offer you to watch it. You decide whether you will accept this 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.

 

7. HOW MUCH DO I GET PAID? Once you click the view button and have watched an advertisement, you can either go to the “Visit” button if you wish to see the advertiser's homepage or “Close” the advertisement. Advertisers pay members for the initial viewing of an advertisement. They will offer members rates between 5.5 cents and $2.00 per ad. You can increase your earnings by clicking on the “Golden Link”, which is active when the “Visit” button is highlighted in gold. In this case, you will earn an extra 10 cents for clicking the “Golden Link” and visiting the advertiser's site. Another way to earn extra money is by taking part in the bepaid.com referral program by referring friends, family and colleagues to join the service.

When your friends and family refer others to register to the site, you can still earn an additional 7% for those indirect referrals.
