We've been working on some exciting announcements in the background, but we of course found time to do the weekly pay-out! Congratulations to all the winners - you should receive an email shortly...
And the best part? The monthly winners will be announced in the coming days, so keep uploading original, quality content to get your stake in this month's jackpot!
We're sending out the Wednesday Winners Newsletter now, so check your mail (or open your virtual wallet!) later tonight to see if you won money this week! Remember, the big monthly jackpot is still coming so keep uploading and promoting!
The idea behind the "Hot" filter is to sort out the good content from the bad, and we're constantly improving how it works. With the amount of contributions we get each day, there's certainly a ton of entertaining, creative and unique content... but sometimes it gets lost in the crowd. Today we started to make a few tweaks to Hot that will help bring quality content to the top, and it's only the beginning. We're working on a major revamp of Hot that will better highlight and feature quality uploads. Together with our revenue sharing model, Hot is one of the ways we're working hard to highlight and reward the users who put serious time, effort and passion into their uploads!
We sent out the first newsletter containing your weekly winnings. Congratulations to everyone who won money! We're always trying to improve the newsletter, so there's a good chance next week's will contain more features and bling! But remember, the only way to get this much-talked-about newsletter is to win money, so keep uploading!
And if you are a winner, make sure you check out the special badges available to you!
In April alone, we've had plenty of new members come in as Money Makers, so the site is really going to start to heat up! Make sure that you check to see if you've been credited for the members you've brought in. To do this, go to Friends and click on Show: Money Makers. If friends that you've coaxed to the site don't show up there, you won't be getting 10% of what they earn. Your friends have to follow your special link that's listed with your recruiting tools. If you've invited a friend and, for one reason or another, they weren't able to successfully join your network, send us an email by the end of next week and we'll get you fixed up, or just ask your friends to rejoin using your special link.
We want to make sure high-quality uploads are properly rewarded, so we're constantly making changes to our system based on feedback. In the coming days and weeks, we'll be implementing changes that will better highlight and reward content providers. In order to facilitate this, we need to switch to weekly payouts. This will give the system more time to collect, analyze and rank uploads (not all of our advertisers are able to update their stats fast enough for a daily payout) and will lead to more money going to the uploaders who deserve it!
Hollywood 007 stuntman David Lyon delivers an important message announcing March's top Jackpot Winner...
It was already easy to make money on Spymac, and now there's a whole new way to do just that: by commenting and rating! For every quality comment that you add to pictures, movies, music or profiles, we'll credit your account $1.00 (USD). Ratings send twenty-five cents your way, which can add up quickly... Hopefully this will promote the growth of an active and vibrant community that provides interesting, relevant feedback. After all, isn't that what you want when you upload? April Fools!
Now that you can get paid to comment, even those who do not produce creative content themselves can benefit from Spymac's jackpot system. What great news to start the month with! Cash for comments and ratings will be tallied at the end of each day.
