Preparation for Ad Processing

Before you can begin processing ads, you need to have your PayPal account setup and verified. This includes adding your bank account to your PayPal account (this is entirely optional) so you can deposit the money you are paid into your account. PayPal is the easiest and most secure way to be paid for this. Any income you make from this must be kept and recorded by YOU. We do not keep record of how much you make, and it is considered Miscellaneous Income, therefore you need to fill out a 1099 form for taxes at the end of the year. You may also consider creating a separate email address, as the responses can be in excess of 50+ per day, it would overwhelm your personal email. Create an email address strictly for this job, and add it to your PayPal account as well

The Ad Cycle

There are millions of advertisements all over the internet today, in the form of pop ups, banners, and emails that we encounter on a daily basis. There wouldn't be so many if people weren't actually responding to them. Your job is to process responses you will receive from your ads. This is where your creativity and self motivation comes into play. The ads that you will have people respond to are entirely created and managed by you.


What is ad processing?

Ad Processing is the entire procedure of placing an ad, collecting responses and sorting responses to that ad, and then following up and replying to them. The basic idea is that you will be managing your own set of ads and when people respond to them, you teach them how to repeat the process on their own.


Step 1: Create and post an ad

The first step is to of course create an ad. There are many sites that allow free ad listings. We recommend using Craigslist.org or your local newspaper's classifieds site, as you can quickly place a free job posting on these sites. You should also consider monster.com or careerbuilder.com to reach a larger audience, however they charge a small fee. Once you have chosen where to place your ad, browse around and see other ads to get a feel for what the market is like. After doing this, it is time to create your own ad. The purpose of your ad is to find people who are looking to make additional income, and to teach them how to be their own boss and create an online business for themselves. Remember- you are NOT scamming people. You are providing a legitimate teaching service, and people who follow your advice are in a position to make extra income outside of work or between jobs. Do not make your ads sound like a get rich quick scheme, because it's not. This is an actual job, and the income depends on your motivation to work. You can keep up on your emails in your spare time, and have the potential to make several hundred dollars a week. When making your ads, keep them short and to the point. On the next page are a few sample ads you can choose to use or to help get an idea of what your ad should contain. Craigslist.org is the easiest website to use. Below are simple instructions to place an ad on their site:

1) Visit http://www.craigslist.org

2) Choose a state to place the ad in from the states listed on the right side

3) Choose a city in the state of where you want to advertise

4) Choose the "job" category

5) Accept the terms of service for Craigslist

6) Choose a job category

7) Fill in all of the fields for your listing, and click Continue when finished

8) Review over your listing and publish it once its completed.

9) Craigslist will send you an email to confirm the listing. Click the confirmation link in the email

10) That's it-your listing is complete. You will start to receive responses very shortly.


Tax Responsibility

You will be responsible for your own taxes. You are an independent business owner so you will need to fill out a 1099 at the end of the year (available @ www.irs.gov). Also, if you have incurred any expenses for this business, keep track of them so that you can write them off come tax time (i.e., internet bill, paper, computer supplies, training material, etc.). ALSO NOTE: Network marketing should not be confused with illegal pyramid schemes where no product or service is sold. Network marketing is completely legal and this method of marketing is now being taught in some of the most prestigious universities, such as Harvard and Stanford. This concept is 100% legal. Refer to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18, Section 1302 and 1341, or Title 18, Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of Federal Regulations, Volume 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state a product or service must be exchanged for money received.

Training:

The training materials you receive will give you step-by-step instructions on how to get started. When you receive your training materials, you may begin working the same day. There are no special software requirements for this position.

Payment for work completed:

You will receive your payments through PayPal for each application you process. There is a ONE TIME non-refundable fee of $15.00 USD. This cost covers the training materials sent to you. Once you process your first response, you will have made back this fee. This is just a small processing fee, protecting from those who are not serious about doing this work. No business can cover administrative cost, wasted time or provide costly materials to everyone who inquires about this position. If this is not acceptable for you, or you cannot afford this small cost, please disregard this email. The training materials and information will be sent to your email after your payment is received; you can then start immediately.

Step 3: Collect the processing fee

This is where you make your money. If people are serious about the job, they will usually be willing to pay the processing fee. You can charge whatever amount you like, however we don't recommend charging more than $20. Most fees typically range between $10-$15, as this is a fairly acceptable amount. Do not be hesitant to charge the fee-this is your payment. This is also where people will become a bit skeptical. Explain to them that the fee exists for a reason-it is the cost for the training materials. If the materials were free, then everyone would already know how to do this, and the job would be dead. Please keep in mind-THIS IS NOT A SCAM. A scam is when someone takes your money and gives you nothing in return. You are providing people with a genuine service that will help them to earn money.


Step 4: Training

Once you have collected the processing fee, respond PROMPLTY with the training materials. Once people have paid you, they will not want to wait more than a day to receive the materials. You are at your liberty with what you send to them. Most people like to create their own training material. Yours can vary greatly from someone else's in terms of what you teach your customer. You do not necessarily have to teach them how to do what you've been taught. You can teach them other ways to make money online as well.
