emaillists?

[spork]

anyone know any programs that pay for email signups?

i know focalex does but other than that?

and while i´m on the subject, does focalex pay?

[spork]

wow! so there are no other programs like that left...?

oh well, i´m closing in on the focalex payout limit so i guess i´ll find out if they pay soon...:)

There are other e-mail programs out there but I doubt you'll find any that come close to our $.40 payrate. The reason is we've been very careful in protecting the integrity of our database.

Don't worry about us paying, we've paid out every month for over 3 years. :D Good luck!

Welcome to the forums Craig! :)

I just wanted to say that I like the $.40 payout but Im finding that it can be cumbersome for a person to complete the signup and verification process. If it were a more simpler process to complete for a person I would continue using, however it has proved to be a sacrifice when I rotated it in with my other text link sponsor. I'll keep an eye on the program to see if it changes.

WabbyTax, thanks for your input. I am very interested in hearing more specifics from you. We are constantly looking to improve our program, and if something is preventing you from joining us I'd like to hear more about it. What specifically about the sign-up/verification process do you find cumbersome? Anything else you want to add will be taken into account also. Thanks!

Well after a person signs up they are taken to a screen where you can get 5 books for $1. Then it says "No Thanks" underneath. This is confusing because I do not know if this mean they are now signed up? Or do they have to press "No Thanks" and continue pressing "No Thanks" until the very end? Will I receive credit if they simply close the window at that time? Because if I were signing up for the first time I'd close the window at that point thinking I've signed up. If you hit "No Thanks" you have to continue hitting "No Thanks" about 5 times before you get to a confirmation screen that the signup has been completed. I think that even if someone were to press "No Thanks" once.. .3 times would make anyone think that theres no end to it and just close the window. Maybe you can tell me exactly at what point I would receive commission for a person signing up?

[FocaCraigM]

Your visitor only needs to hit the submit button once, and a confirmation message will be sent to the e-mail address provided. If the visitor then confirms from his e-mail account, then you get credited.

The ads that appear after the submit do not affect the sign-up, whether they utilize the ad, hit no thanks, or close the window. I'm glad you brought this up, as we're doing a major rehaul of our site, and I'll be sure to make this clearer to everyone.

I hope this clears things up for you! :D

[WabbyTwax]

Yes thank you very much for listening, I will still be seriously considering ways to utilize your sponsorship.

i´ll take your word for it since i haven´t found any better programs and i´ve spent quite some time looking around lately... :)

and i think the signup process seemed quite simple, choose some lists, fill in a few fields, and then confirm it by clicking a link in the email you get...

but yeah, it is a bit hard to be sure if you actually have signed up after that first screen or if the signup continues after you´ve said no (or yes) to a quazillion offers...

There is www.postmasterdirect.com ,they have been around for a very long time but I think are lacking what Focalex offers.

[WabbyTwax]

That website has nothing to do with what focalex does

[Sydney251]

Postmasterdirect is another company that pays for people to signup for their email lists, much like what focalex does. They offer 2 levels of affiliates, List Owners and List Affiliates. List Owners are for big B2B sites while List Affiliates are for smaller sites. The difference between postmasterdirect and focalex is that postmasterdirect pays ongoing for a year for each signup you get as a affiliate, while focalex pays .40 cents per signup.
