Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)
An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.
Richer people have better health.
The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?
And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
Unhappy with the low payments offered by Get Paid To Click websites, I decided to make my own GPT website called Your Price. The GPT Survey market had already been cracked, so I decided to enter the disappointing GPT Click market. I don't like to reinvent the wheel so I wanted to make something new. Most GPT Click websites pay people fractions of a cent, for each advert their members view. I decided to change that, by paying people an amount of money they would be happy with. Members of Your Price got $0.10-$0.50 for each advert they clicked. Let's call them earning opportunities.
I made up a currency called ycrows, so that when people completed earning opportunities for looking at web pages for 12 seconds, they would receive a ycrow with a maximum $x.xx value. In five days, their ycrow would convert it into $USD, and they could withdraw their earnings once they reached $1. I was giving away lots of money to strangers over the internet, but I carried on anyway as part of my experiment to see whether Your Price would work. I thought to myself "This is so crazy, it just might work." I'm a risk taker who is always thinking of elaborate plans.
People typically got $1.10 for viewing 10 adverts (web pages), sometimes more. People with 5 referrals got $2-3 for that, sometimes for just commission.
Also no money was to leave their hands. That was a requirement of the experiment. As I was giving away so much money, the number 1 question I was asked by nearly everyone, every week, was "How does Your Price make money?" and "How are the ycrow values calculated?" Both questions I refused to answer saying they are trade secrets. Everyone knows that advertisers can't afford to pay you $0.30 for viewing their advert.
In short, I gave away $14.10 of my own money, over 2 months, collectively to 7 people and made revenue of $25, leaving me a 43.6% profit. That happened in the first cycle. The second cycle would only give me more money even quicker.
I created a secret system, where I got paid to give away my own money.
Running Your Price was one of the best times in my life, for four reasons. I was doing websites which I was passionate in, I was making money, and I was a saviour. I helped poor teenage Romanians make the first legal money they could, in their corrupt country whilst I learnt about them. I learnt lots about running websites and Romania.
Running Your Price every day was like printing my own money, or getting paid to give to charity.
I shut down Your Price as I didn't have a job at the time, so I didn't have enough money to put into it, so I couldn't launch the second cycle. Your Price is a medium risk and short term investment, so I want to have loads of money before I launch it again. So launching it again isn't in my plans for now. I plan to launch it again later. Maybe I should do it now anyway.
