As far as verification, that's a pretty straightforward database problem with one catch. Despite never (to my wife's chagrin; she'd like a few more designer purses(I mean bags(and to my chagrin, she buys them retail, not on eBay))) 15% of our email notifications get marked as spam. So notifications would be a problem. We would have to integrate them into the dashboard under a tab, methinks. Thanks, Bob G., I appreciate your thinking.

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:37:08 +0000 http://easyonme.com/blog/?p=50#comment-400 From a business point of view, I think you are being too generous with a cash option or double points. I think points equal to what the person signs up for would be more than adequate to get more members. The cash option is money out-of-pocket, while double points probably won't get you any more sign ups than equal points. Most of these are word-of-mouth and not high volume. Maybe you have a cash payout based on volume - e.g., $20 for 10 new sign-ups plus the bidpoints. Also, I'm curious how you'd handle the verification process so I would be sure I get credit. Great product that I don't use anywhere near as much as I used to but recommend to my friends whenever the topic comes up!

It will probably start as cash only then move to a cash/BidPoints approach. Cheers, Tom Campbell @Leslie R, I think I’m leaning toward just the sort of bifurcated system you describe.

Why not offer a choice of either a small cash payout or BidPoints? I like using Esnipe--in fact, I use it pretty much every single time I need to make a purchase on eBay. But, that's not saying much. I don't really buy tons of things on eBay anymore. As such, there will be times when I'd probably rather have a little cash, as opposed to BidPoints. But, some kind fo payout is a good idea for referring new customers, because as you so aptly explained it, I don't really want others to know about Esnipe, or they'll be using Esnipe to bid against me. ;^) I like the affiliate idea.

I bet you have an affiliate URL or 10 somewhere on your blog. Why not? Happy to give a fellow IM'er a plug ;-) @Iago, what with your URL and the slightly off-topic subject matter I think I sniff some internet marketing via blog commenting.

It's taken longer than originally indicated to finally get the Big Ticket Depot auction site up and running (which it is now), but in the meantime Joel Sauceda, the founder, also got the Big Value Depot auction site online for people to bid on, buy and sell whatever they fancy.

A six week wait for cash is no biggie. There are plenty of things that take that (or longer) to come to fruition. Hope this helps.
