| Daily Completions Contest Revamped |
Mar 11, 2010 |
|
|
As
I wrote in the email at the beginning of the month, the Daily
Completions Contest was going to be done on a trial basis to see how it
went. I'd like to try and get more participation so we're going to do
it a little bit differently. You know how I always like to try and give
all members a chance to win prizes in contests. Because of that, the
Daily Completions Contest is now going to be a raffle so that everyone
who does offers will have the opportunity to win every day. For every
offer that credits you'll get a raffle ticket. The more offers you do,
the more raffle tickets you'll get, the better your chances of winning
one or more prizes! There will still be 3 prizes, for the same total
amount every day as before, but they'll all be for the same amount -
$2. So, you could walk away with prize money from $2 to $6! We'll see
how this goes and, as more offers get done on a daily basis, the number
of prizes and the amounts could go up! All Daily Surveys count as do
the Coupon Bar and cash-back shopping offers. The drawing will be held
the morning after the contest ends, and all prize money will be paid to
the winning members' PayPal accounts shortly thereafter!
It
looks like the Daily Click Campaigns are taking longer to credit than
it was originally thought. They do seem to be crediting well, though,
so that's a good thing. Some new ones have been added so check them
out. Please follow the instructions for these so they credit for you.

| **$.06** Daily Clicks & Daily Prize Payouts!! |
Mar 6, 2010 |
|
|
In case you didn't know, there are now a few of the $.06 Daily Click Campaigns on Bowling for Cash once again! Please make sure to do them correctly so you get credit and to, hopefully, allow us to get more. There are also PTC ads, in addition to the Daily Click Campaigns. Please make sure to really check out all the things that interest you after you click the ad while you're waiting for the timer to count down. You never know what you might find out! The games are fun, too! The more interest that is shown in what these advertisers have to offer, the more we can get and at possibly higher payouts.
I also wanted to remind you about the Daily Completions Contests. You could have money paid to your PayPal account every day if you win one of the 3 prizes every day! Just be in the top 3 for completing offers for a day and you win! If the combined total of offers credited for the 3 winners is over 100, prize amounts are increased!
Advertiser reports are now being provided showing the information you used to complete their offers. Please make sure that you use your real and valid information when completing any and all offers. This will ensure that the GPT industry will be around for a long time for all of us.

| Here's The Scoop! |
Mar 4, 2010 |
|
|
I wanted to remind you about the terrific March Madness contests that are happening on Bowling for Cash this month! There's the March Madness Completions Contest where if you do the most offers you'll win the most money! That one pays 30 spots! Then there's the March Madness Referral Raffle! For every referral you bring to Bowling for Cash during the contest period, you'll get a raffle ticket. The more tickets you get the more prizes you could win! The Perfect Game Contest will be every month and if you get credit for 300 (a perfect game in bowling) offers you'll get $20 added to your account! That's in addition to any other prizes you might win in other contests! You'll definitely want to get in on the Daily Completions Contests! Every day 3 prizes are given to the 3 members who complete the most offers! The best part is that the prizes are paid into the winners' PayPal accounts the next day! If you don't have a PayPal account, the money will be added to your site account instead.
Now here's the scoop on some offers. For Eversave, Livehat, PointClickFun, and other offers like those, here's what you need to do to have the best chance of getting them to credit. You need to use a new email for every offer and use your real and valid information. That goes for ALL offers. Then you need to choose 'Yes' for 2 or more offers on the Yes/No pages, then go to the end of the survey. Here's the key - for every offer like this you need to pick 2 different 'Yes' offers along the path of the offer. You can't keep picking the same offers. That should help get those to credit better for you. If any of you have any more tips for getting different offers to credit, please let me know and I'll pass them along.
If you want to get the Daily Click Campaigns to credit for you, you need to do them correctly - turn off popup blocker, have your settings set to accept all cookies, click the campaign, then click one link on the page that opens. Take your time and let all pages and popups load before closing out. These steps will give you the best chance of having the Daily Clicks credit for you.

| A Few $.06 Daily Clicks Are Back! |
Mar 1, 2010 |
|
|
It's the start of a new month and I'm happy to report that there are now a few $.06 Daily Clicks back on Bowling for Cash! I don't know how long they'll be here, or if there'll be more, but the only way we'll get to keep them and/or get more is to make sure that they're done correctly and that you only do them one time on one site within 24 hours.
These are now set up as offers and not as PTC ads. That means a couple of things. They'll credit automatically, like most offers, but only once a day, at approximately 9:00 PM EST for the previous day's clicks, and that's only if revenue has been generated for the advertiser. You'll be able to do them again 24 hours after they credit. There won't be any reversals on these, unless you do them on more than one site within 24 hours, because if they're not done correctly they just won't credit.
Make sure to get in on the Daily Completions Contest every day! If you win one of the prizes, you'll get that prize money sent to your PayPal account the next day!
Get your referral links out there, especially if you have payment proofs to show potential members! The more active members we get, the bigger and better the contests will be!

| March Madness Is Upon Us! |
Feb 28, 2010 |
|
|
I'm very glad to see that February is almost gone. There's been more snow here this month than in any month on record - ever! And it was a short month! LOL I am so ready for Spring!
Because it IS the last day of February, you have until 11:59 PM EST to cash out if you want to be paid by the end of March. Please remember - only one withdrawal per month, please! If you cashed out earlier in the month, please delete that out of your pending withdrawals and then cash out again. If you have more than one withdrawal they'll be deleted. Also, if you use PayPal as your withdrawal method, you need to have an actual PayPal account and the account needs to be in your name.
So now that this month is over, it's time for March Madness! And, oh, what a mad month it's going to be - contests like you won't believe! The first 2 contests will be like the ones we had in February - the completions contest and the referral raffle. The first one is the March Madness Completions Contest and whoever gets credit for the most offers wins the most money! The prizes will be the same as last month: $50, $50, $25, $25, $20, $20, $15, $15, $10, $10, $5, $5, $3, $3, $2, $2, $1, $1, $.50, $.50, 10 bowling pins, 10 bowling pins, 10 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins. The contest starts at midnight March 1, 2010 and will end at 11:59 PM EST on March 30, 2010. Prize money will be added to winning members' accounts on the 31st. All regular offers count, including the Daily Surveys and Coupon Bar, which can be done every day. The only ones that don't are 'my' offers - the Win Pin Game and the Bowling for Cash Proof of Payment Posting Offer. I must caution you once again that you can only get credit for an offer one time. If you duplicate any offers, your account will be deleted and the money in that account will be forfeited.
The second contest is the March Madness Referral Raffle! Every referral you bring in to Bowling for Cash will get you one raffle ticket. The more referrals, the more tickets, the better your chances of winning one or more prizes in the raffle! There are 15 prizes and they are: $5, $5, $5, $4, $4, $4, $3, $3, $3, $2, $2, $2, $1, $1, $1. This one also starts at midnight, March 1st and ends at 11:59 PM EST on March 30, 2010. The raffle ticket numbers will be assigned on March 31st and the drawing will be held that day, too. All prize money will be added to winning members' accounts in plenty of time for cash-out. Don't forget that when your referrals cash out the first time and get verified, you'll get $2 added to your account! This applies to any of your referrals who joined Bowling for Cash May 1, 2009 or later. You also get 15% of what they make and 5% of what their referrals earn! If you've been paid, and some of you have large payments, get those payment proofs out there! Not only could you possibly get referrals when people see you've been paid, you can also submit the offer, Bowling for Cash Proof of Payment Posting Offer, and get paid $.50!
Okay, here come the new contests! The first one is called the Monthly Perfect Game Contest. This will be the same every month starting in March. It's very simple. In bowling, a perfect game is a score of 300. So, in this monthly contest, if you get credit for 300 offers during the month, you'll get $20 added to your account! That's in addition to any prize money you would win in other contests! This one will run every month from the first day through the last day.
And I've saved the best for last! This one is going to be done on a trial basis, to start, to see how it goes. If it goes well, it could get even bigger and better! We're now going to have a Daily Completions Contest, every day! There will be 3 prizes, for now - $3, $2, $1. The way this contest is different is that the prize money will be paid the next day into your PayPal account! It must be your PayPal account and, if you don't have one, your winnings will get added to your site account. It's imperative that your PayPal email address is correct in your profile because that's the one I'll use if you should win a prize. This will only be for the prize money you win and not for payment of offer commissions. This starts at midnight March 1st and will run from midnight until 11:59 PM EST every day.
So, how's that for some March Madness??!! And there may be even more as the month goes along! I hope you all enjoy these fun contests and really take advantage of all that Bowling for Cash has to offer! It's a great way to make FREE money and it's the easiest place to win prizes!

I've
been getting some reversal reports, and that's never a good thing.
Please remember that you need to keep very good track of the offers
that credit for you because you can only get credit for an offer one
time - ever. If reports come in from the networks showing that you've
duplicated any offers, your account will be deleted immediately and all
money earned will be forfeited - no ifs, ands, or buts.
There are now over 900 offers on Bowling for Cash!! Woooohoooo!! So there are plenty for you to do, and there's still time
to get in on the February Fun Completions Contest! It doesn't end 'til
Saturday night at 11:59 PM EST, so come and do some offers and you
could win a prize!
Bringing
in referrals to Bowling for Cash is a total win-win for all of us!
First of all, you get a raffle ticket for the February Fun Referral
Raffle, you make 15% of what they earn, plus another 5% of their
referrals' earnings, and the first time they cash out you'll get $2
added to your account! So it's definitely in your best interest to
bring in as many referrals as you can! That just means more money for
you!

| FYI - PTC Ads |
Feb 24, 2010 |
|
|
Let me explain something you may not know about PTC ads that aren't ads for GPT or PTC sites, but that are for other websites or companies. Advertisers put out these campaigns with the hope that people will check out their offers. They pay to put these ads on sites, but only when people are genuinely interested in their sites/products/services and actually view and look over what it is they have available. So that means payment isn't made to the site just by people clicking the ad, waiting for the timer to count down, then going on to the next ad. I thought you may not have known how these work, so I wanted to make sure you understood what happens with these kinds of PTC ads. There are 13 ads right now on Bowling for Cash and I'll add more if I can see that members are truly interested in having them.
A ton of offers were added today, and are being added every day, so come and earn some FREE cash and get in on the February Fun Completions Contest before it ends on Saturday! It sure won't take much to grab a prize! As most of you know, you get a good payout for offers here, so do some today and you could be cashing out with a nice amount this month!
Don't forget about the February Fun Referral Raffle where you get a raffle ticket for every member you bring to the site! If you've been paid, or when you do get paid, you'll want to take advantage of the Bowling for Cash Proof of Payment offer and get $.50 for posting your proof of payment in a forum or wherever you're permitted to post that.

We're going to have a raffle in honor of SUPER BOWLing SUNDAY and it'll start at midnight, February 7th and will end that night at 11:59 PM EST. For every 3 credited offers you'll get a raffle ticket and you'll be entered to win one, or more, of 5 prizes! They are $10, $5. $3, $2, $1!

| Payment Proof & Other Offers |
Feb 2, 2010 |
|
|
I just want to let you know that, in case you haven't noticed, a whole bunch of new offers have been added over the past couple of weeks, including Quiz Jungles, Reward Quizzes, My Rewards Vaults, Eversaves, and Live Hats. Doing these offers could give you a great opportunity to get a jump on the February Fun Completions Contest! There's no excuse for not making FREE money on Bowling for Cash!
A new little promotion that starts tonight is called the Bowling for Cash Proof of Payment offer. The way you get credit for this offer is to post your proof of payment, along with your referral link so you can get referrals for the February Fun Referral Raffle, in any forum with more than 500 members that allows payment/referral posts. Payment proofs from December 2009 and later are eligible. You can find the 'offer' in Hot Offers. In the email space of the offer, please paste in the link where your post can be seen. You'll get $.50 for this 'offer' once I check out the post, and you can only get credit one time. That doesn't mean you shouldn't post your payment proofs everywhere you're permitted! That can only help you bring more members to Bowling for Cash and get you more raffle tickets for the drawing!
So get those payment proofs out there! Some of you have ones that people will be drooling over! LOL Let them know that they can get ones just like those for themselves!

| February Fun! |
Feb 2, 2010 |
|
|
I know I'm a little late with this but, as they say, better late than never! I'm just going to send a quick email here to give you a brief rundown of February Fun Contests to start off the month. The first one is the February Fun Completions Contest and whoever gets credit for the most offers wins the most money! The prizes will be the same as last month: $50, $50, $25, $25, $20, $20, $15, $15, $10, $10, $5, $5, $3, $3, $2, $2, $1, $1, $.50, $.50, 10 bowling pins, 10 bowling pins, 10 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins. The contest is retroactive to midnight today and will end at 11:59 PM EST on February 27, 2010. Prize money will be added to winning members' accounts on the 28th.
The second contest is the February Fun Referral Raffle! Every referral you bring in to Bowling for Cash will get you one raffle ticket. The more referrals, the more tickets, the better your chances of winning one or more prizes in the raffle! There are 15 prizes this time and they are: $5, $5, $5, $4, $4, $4, $3, $3, $3, $2, $2, $2, $1, $1, $1. This one is also retroactive to midnight today and ends at 11:59 PM EST on February 27, 2010. The raffle ticket numbers will be assigned on February 28th and the drawing will be held that day, too. All prize money will be added to winning members' accounts in plenty of time for cash-out. Don't forget that when your referrals cash out the first time and get verified, you'll get $2 added to your account! This applies to any of your referrals who joined Bowling for Cash May 1, 2009 or later.
I do have a bit of not so good news to give you. I received an email today telling me that we're losing some more Daily Paid To Click Campaigns and that we'll be down to only 4 after tonight. This is supposed to be temporary so I hope it's not too long before we have more again.

| MUST READ - Terms of Service |
Jan 30, 2010 |
|
|
As
with anything, there are rules, and the same goes if you want to be a
member of Bowling for Cash. The Terms of Service spell out those rules
in a very readable and understandable way so there can be no question
as to what they are. On the home page of Bowling for Cash, the
Membership Requirements are very explicit. Go read them. Also, when you
sign up for the site, you complete a registration form with your name,
address, birth date, and telephone number. You need to check a box
verifying that you are at least 18 years of age, the minimum age to be
eligible to be a member here. You also enter a birth date where it
states that if you enter false or incomplete information your account
will be deleted. You also check a box which states that you will use
your own valid information when completing offers, and that you will
not duplicate any offers, which means getting credit more than once for
the same offer, or you will get your account deleted. To make these
things even clearer, I've added the following to the Fraud section in
the Terms of Service. The statements in bold are the newly added items.
Fraud, in any form, will not be tolerated. If it's determined that fraudulent information is used to sign up for Bowling for Cash
or to complete offers, the member's account will be terminated and
deleted immediately, without prior notice or warning, no matter the
degree of fraud. All monies in that account will be forfeited. Some
examples of fraud, but not limited to, are: using false information or
information that's not one's own to sign up for Bowling for Cash or to complete offers; using stolen credit cards to complete offers; completing and receiving credit for the the same offer multiple times, whether it's on the Bowling For Cash
site or any other; canceling a trial offer before actually receiving
the product or service. Using prepaid gift and/or credit cards to
complete offers is also not permissible.
There are some members who think these rules don't apply to them. Let me assure you that they apply to EVERYbody
who is a member of Bowling for Cash. If you have any questions at all
about them, please ask so you don't get your account deleted because
you didn't understand something.

| Daily Paid To Click Campaigns - MUST READ! |
Jan 19, 2010 |
|
|
The $.06 Daily Paid To Click Campaigns are back up! I'm really sorry for the delay and I appreciate your patience. I'm going to paste last night's email into this one to emphasize the points I made.
First of all, the campaigns are being moved out of offers and are going to be classified as paid to click ads once again. This might change in the future but, for now, they're going to be listed this way. There will be no timer on these ads, and you don't have to submit them. You'll still find them in the top section of your Members page in **$.06** DAILY PAID TO CLICK CAMPAIGNS. Please understand that you'll receive credit instantly for clicking these campaigns BUT, if they don't credit on my end, which can take a few minutes, the money will be deducted from your account and the Daily Paid To Click Campaigns will no longer be available to you. To have the best chance of these crediting through the advertisers, you need to have your privacy setting set to accept all cookies and your popup blocker has to be off. You need to click on one link on the landing page that opens when you click on each ad, then let all pages and popups load before you close out and go to the next one. You'll now be permitted to click the ads every 24 hours but, because they were re-listed as actual PTC ads, all ads became available to everybody as soon as I listed them. I'm asking all members who clicked the ads yesterday to please not click them until it's been 24 hours since you last clicked them. We don't want there to be any duplicate clicks going in to the advertisers. If you need to know what time you did them yesterday, let me know and I'll tell you because I know what time you did them and will know the next time you click them.
Let's make sure we do these correctly, and by the rules, so we have them for a long time to come. If you need any help at all, please get in touch with me. Thanks so much!

I need to relay some information about the Daily
Paid To Click Campaigns. First of all, I had to pull all of them
tonight because they're no longer active. I apologize for the
inconvenience. Tomorrow the campaigns are going to be classified as
paid to click ads once again. This might change in the future but, for
now, they're going to be listed this way. There will be no timer on
these ads, and you don't have to submit them. You'll still find them in
the top section of your Members page in **$.06** DAILY PAID TO CLICK
CAMPAIGNS. Please understand that you'll receive credit instantly for
clicking these campaigns BUT, if
they don't credit on my end, which can take a few minutes, the money
will be deducted from your account and the Daily Paid To Click
Campaigns will no longer be available to you.
To have the best chance of these crediting through the advertisers, you
need to have your privacy setting set to accept all cookies and your
popup blocker has to be off. You need to click on one link on the
landing page that opens when you click on each ad, then let all pages
and popups load before you close out and go to the next one. You'll now
be permitted to click the ads every 24 hours but, because they'll be
re-listed as actual PTC ads, all ads will become available to everybody
as soon as I list them. I'm asking all members who have already clicked
the ads today to please not click them until it's been 24 hours since
you last clicked them. We don't want there to be any duplicate clicks
going in to the advertisers. If you need to know what time you last did
them, let me know and I'll tell you because I know what time you did
them and will know the next time you click them.
I'll send another email tomorrow when the Daily Paid To Click Campaigns
are available again. I'm not sure what time that will be, but it'll
happen as soon as possible.
Let's
make sure we do these correctly, and by the rules, so we have them for
a long time to come. If you need any help at all, please get in touch
with me. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding.

It's now easier than ever to get to the Daily Paid To Click Campaigns that are paying $.06 for each one. There's a link now located in the top section of your Members page called **$.06** DAILY PAID TO CLICK CAMPAIGNS, and it's right next to the Paid to Click link. That should make it easier for you and your referrals to find it.
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of things I want to tell you. In case you weren't able to find the Daily Paid To Click Campaigns, they're located in the Offers section of the site. Click on All Offers then click the drop down box next to All Items under Browse Categories and you'll see the category called DAILY PAID TO CLICK CAMPAIGNS.
Because I have to manually credit members the $.50 for the first offer they complete, it's getting harder and harder to keep track of this and make sure all members get the proper credit. So, instead of giving out $.50 for the first credited offer, I'm going to increase the sign-up bonus to $1.50, effective immediately. This will be done automatically when a member confirms his/her registration. For every member who signed up since January 1st and didn't receive $.50 for completing an offer, they'll now get a $.50 credit added to their accounts.
Now's a great time to get those referral links out there and get us new members! No other site is paying $.06 for the Daily Paid To Click Campaigns so that's a great selling point! The more referrals you get by January 30th, the more raffle tickets you'll get for the New Year's Referral Contest with Raffle & Rewards! And don't forget that for every 5 referrals you get $1 added to your account at the end of the contest! Please remember that referrals you 'buy' as bowling pin rewards do not count in the contest, even though they show up in the stats, and they will be deducted from your total before raffle ticket numbers are assigned.
It won't take much to get in on the New Year's Completions Contest! Get busy doing some offers and you could easily take a prize! Check out the Last 25 Offers Credited to get an idea of what seems to be crediting well.

| Daily Paid To Click Campaigns, Etc. - MUST READ!! |
Jan 15, 2010 |
|
|
I do have some info I need to pass along to you concerning the Daily Paid To Click Campaigns. I received an email this morning with updated rules and guidelines for these campaigns. Please read them and follow them.
1. You must wait 36 hours before you click the same Daily Paid To Click Campaign. Previously, you had to wait 24 hours.
2. You can't click the same ad more than once within that 36-hour period so that means you can't click them on one site then go to another site to click them unless 36 hours has passed since you last clicked them.
3. Please make sure you only visit/click things you are truly interested in on the landing pages on these campaigns. This will keep the advertisers happy and we'll be able to keep these campaigns. The whole point of these, and for every offer or campaign, is for advertisers to make money and get new customers. If they don't see a good return on their advertising dollar investment, offers and campaigns will go away, and nobody wants that to happen.
4. Once you click on one of these campaigns, a 3rd party proxy monitoring solution will check for the possibility that you're using a proxy server. If that's found to be the case, you will be redirected to an error page and you will not receive credit for clicking that campaign. YOU ALSO RUN THE RISK OF BEING BANNED FROM ALL DAILY PAID TO CLICK CAMPAIGNS, SO DON'T DO IT!
And here's a quote taken directly from the email I received:
"We believe with these measures in place that we will be able to keep these campaigns going strong for a long time to come. Please remember QUALITY over QUANITY means long term success, and while these measures will prevent some users from completing these campaigns, or seeing them, we know it will for the long term protect them to stay around for a long time."
So please follow the rules and we'll all be able to make money on these Daily Paid To Click Campaigns now and in the future.
On another note, if you haven't completed the offer called 'Warrior Epic', and you're interested in playing this game for free online, the advertiser is looking for more members to complete the offer because it expires today. So please feel free to do that offer if you have an interest in this.
More offers have been added the last few days and more are going to be added over the weekend. This is a great time to make extra, FREE money and get in on the New Year's Completions Contest! It's going to be very easy to win a prize in this one! Come and do some offers and one of those prizes may be yours!

| Daily Clicks Are Back! |
Jan 12, 2010 |
|
|
Some click campaigns are back on Bowling for Cash! But because of the way they have to be tracked, they're set up differently. They're now called Daily Clicks and they're set up in the category by that name in the Offers Section. You need to please have your privacy setting set to accept all cookies and you need to have your popup blocker turned off. When you click on the campaign you then need to click one link on the landing page of each campaign and then check out anything there that might interest you. After you're finished, close out and click Mark As Pending. If you get credit for that click, you'll be credited automatically and the campaign will be available to you again in 24 hours. If it doesn't credit, I'll delete all campaigns out of pending every morning so you'll be able to do them again. You need to follow the instructions here if you want to get credit for these campaigns. The most important rule of all is that you can't click these campaigns more than once in a 24-hour period. If you click them on one site you can't click them on another one until it's been 24 hours since you last clicked them.
If there are any campaigns that aren't working properly, please report them so I can remove them.

| Member Advertising |
Jan 7, 2010 |
|
|
We're going to once again have member advertising on Bowling for Cash but with some HUGE changes. I'm going to test this and see how it goes and, if it goes well, it'll continue. If not, I'll eliminate it. This is going to be for members who want to advertise legitimate businesses, whether they're online or offline. I know there are a lot of members who also have other ways they or their friends or family have to make money, and I think this will be a great opportunity to get the word out about those. This will NOT be advertising for other GPT or PTC sites, for member blogs, or for affiliate networks. The advertising can have no connection whatsoever to those types of sites. The ads will be verified and, if they're for any sites like those, the ads will be pulled and you will NOT get a refund. They'll also be checked for any referral links to make sure they aren't for sites as listed above. I'll also be reviewing the ads for proper content. There can be no adult sites advertised, or other businesses that can be deemed illegal or unsavory. It will be determined, at my discretion, whether an ad fits with the respectability I've worked very hard to maintain on Bowling for Cash. Please keep this in mind if you decide to purchase advertising. You will not get a refund if those types of ads are pulled.
All that being said, you'll now be able to purchase Banner Ads and PTC Ads. You can check out the packages that are available in the top section of your Members page by clicking on Advertising, and you can purchase them from there as well. You can check your stats under Advertising Stats. Payment for the packages can be made with internal funds or by PayPal, but you must have the money in your PayPal account because the payment has to be made directly from there and not from a credit card or bank account tied to your PayPal account.
So if you or your family or friends have a business you'd like to let people know about, check out the advertising packages! If you have any questions or need any help, please let me know.

| Happy New Year's Eve! |
Dec 31, 2009 |
|
|
Another year is quickly coming to a close, and it's definitely a time for reflection of the year that is ending, and to think about the year that starts tomorrow, the beginning of a new decade. It's also a good time to think of the blessings we have and to be grateful. I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your loyalty, support, and friendship these past 2 1/2 years. It's been terrific, and it's only going to get better as we work together to make Bowling for Cash bigger and better! We're going to have lots of fun in the new year and new decade!!
Please remember to cash out by 11:59 PM EST tonight if you want to be paid by the end of January. A lot of big payments will be going out in January, and posting your proofs of payment will definitely attract new members to sign up under you! People like to see those nice payouts!
It's been a super year, but 2010 is going to be even more so! And the best way to start it is by having contests! The ones we had this month went so well that we're going to do similar ones this month only with more prizes! All contests I'm telling you about here will start at midnight, New Year's Day, and will end at 11:59 PM EST on January 30, 2010.
The first one is the New Year's Completions Contest. Whoever completes the most offers wins the most money! There are 30 prizes and here they are: $50, $50, $25, $25, $20, $20, $15, $15, $10, $10, $5, $5, $3, $3, $2, $2, $1, $1, $.50, $.50, 10 bowling pins, 10 bowling pins, 10 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins.
The next one is the New Year's Paid To Click Contest. Here again, whoever does the most clicks will win the most money! There are 15 prizes for this one and they are: $10, $10, $10, $5, $5, $5, $3, $3, $3, $2, $2, $2, $1, $1, $1. Don't forget that we still have the Daily Paid To Click Raffle every day so you'll want to make sure to come to Bowling for Cash every day to click the Paid To Click ads! You could win money in the raffle and in the contest! Please follow the instructions for clicking the ads, and remember that you can't click the same ad more than once within 24 hours. That means you can't get credit for the clicks on more than one site in a day. If there are any questions about this, please ask.
The next one is the New Year's Referral Contest with Raffle & Rewards. This one's going to be just like December's was. For every referral you bring in you'll get a raffle ticket. You'll get $1 added to your account balance for every 5 referrals. That's guaranteed - you don't have to win it. There are 10 prizes for the raffle and they are: $5, $5, $4, $4, $3, $3, $2, $2, $1, $1. The raffle ticket numbers will be assigned at the end of the contest and before the drawing which will be held the morning of January 31st. You'll be able to see your ticket numbers on the Current Contest Stats page. You can win more than one prize so the more raffle tickets you have the better your chances are of winning one or more prizes! Please remember that any referrals you 'buy' with bowling pins do not count for this contest even though they'll show up in the contest stats.
So that's it for contests - at least so far. ;) I know that some of you have been checking out the new Bowling for Cash Chat I installed. We're going to be using that for some fun things this next year, along with scheduled help sessions. You'll be getting more info about that in the future.
In the meantime, have a safe, fun New Year's Eve! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

| Month End Reminders! |
Dec 29, 2009 |
|
|
Can
you believe it's almost the end of the month and the end of another
year??!! I can't! In a couple of days we start a new decade! But,
before we get there, I have some reminders for you. First of all, some
of you may not be aware of this, but there can only be one withdrawal
from your account per month. It would be very difficult and time
consuming to have to do multiple payments to each member. If you cashed
out more than once this month, your requests have been deleted and the
money is back in your account. It's best to do one cash-out near the
end of the month, and that way you have all the money in your account
that you earned up to that point. You do need to remember to cash out
by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on the last day of the month if you want to be
paid by the end of the following month.
Our
terrific Christmas contests are ending tomorrow so you have these 2
days to get in on them! It'd be very easy to take a prize in the
Christmas Offers Contest! You only need to get credit for a few offers
and you'll grab one! And for the Christmas Referral Contest with Raffle
& Rewards you only need to bring in one referral to win a raffle
ticket to win one of those
prizes! Of course, the more referrals you bring in, the more raffle
tickets you get! And, as a Reward, for every 5 you bring in you get $1
added to your account! Also, don't forget that for every referral who
has joined since May, you'll get $2 when they cash out the first time!
Please remember, though, contest prizes and the $2 bonus do not apply
to referrals you 'purchased' as a bowling pin reward. Those were given
to you and were not recruited using your referral link to bring them to
the site.
On
the same topic of bowling pin rewards, I've been re-thinking how to
handle the $5 cash reward. You'll be happy to know that from now on,
starting this month, if you request $5 cash as a bowling pin reward,
it'll be added to your account by the end of the month in which you
requested it. The gift cards, though, will remain the same. If you
request one this month you'll receive it by the end of January.

| MERRY CHRISTMAS!! |
Dec 24, 2009 |

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I
hope that all of you have a wonderful Christmas! I know that
tomorrow's a busy day, but if you happen to get a minute you might want
to sign on and do the Paid To Click Ads! There will be special surprise
prizes for the Daily Paid To Click Raffle! And if you get a raffle
ticket, but don't win one of the special surprise prizes, you'll still
get $.50! So everybody who gets a raffle ticket tomorrow will get
something extra! Please know, though, that if your clicks don't credit,
and they have to be reversed, you won't qualify for the prizes or the
extra $.50 even if your name is showing as a raffle ticket winner.
That's why it's necessary to follow the instructions when you click the
Paid To Click Ads. You need to turn off your popup blocker and make
sure your privacy setting is set to accept all cookies. Your particular
browser may have the option to accept 1st and 3rd party cookies. You
need to accept both of those. For every ad you click you must also
click a link on the page that opens after you click the ad. Please
remember that each ad can only be clicked once every 24 hours, and not
on more than one site per 24-hour period. If you have any questions
whatsoever, if you've had clicks reversed, or you're not able to see
the clicks and it's been 24 hours or more since you last clicked them,
please contact me. I want everybody to be able to get in on the
Christmas fun and surprises tomorrow!
Merry, Merry Christmas to you all!

| Christmas Contests! |
Dec 5, 2009 |
|
|
It's the weekend, and it's time to announce the contests for this month! It's going to be super fun for everybody! The first one is the Christmas Offers Completions Contest and, in this one, whoever does the most, wins the most, and that member will win $100! But there are 25 prizes so there will be lots of winners! Here's the list of prizes: $100, $50, $25, $20, $15, $10, $10, $5, $5, $3, $3, $2, $2, $1, $1, $.50, $.50, 10 bowling pins, 10 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 5 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 3 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins, 2 bowling pins. This contest will be made retroactive to December 1, 2009 and ends at 11:59 PM EST on December 30, 2009. So that means if you've had any credited offers since December 1 st you're already in the contest! All prize money will be added to winning members' accounts on New Year's Eve, in plenty of time for cash-out. All offers count, including the Daily Surveys and Cash Back Shopping! Please remember that you can only get credit for an offer one time, and you must use your own valid information when completing offers.
The 2nd contest is the Christmas Paid To Click Contest. This will work the same as the offers contest - whoever does the most wins the most! Top prize for this one is $20! There are 10 prizes in total and they are: $20, $10, $5, $5, $3, $3, $2, $2, $1, $1. This contest will start at midnight, December 6, 2009 and will end at 11:59 PM EST on December 30, 2009. As with the offers contest, all prize money will be added to winning members' accounts on New Year's Eve. Please remember that you can't click the same ads on more than one site within a 24-hour period. Also, if there are clicks that don't credit for me, I'll have to deduct those clicks from members' totals, so please make sure to do them correctly. If you have any doubt or any questions, please check with me.
Even though we're having the Christmas Paid To Click Contest, that doesn't mean the Daily Paid to Click Raffle goes away! Oh, no, not at all! That's still happening every day, too! So you have a chance to win money every day, and also for the month! Make sure you come to Bowling for Cash every day to click the Paid To Click ads!
I've also changed the referral contest and it's now called the Christmas Referral Contest With Raffle & Rewards. You now don't need to have your referrals complete an offer to get credit for those referrals! Because many of the referrals do the Paid To Click ads, and I'm sure more will do them now with the new contest, that's making money for the site just as doing offers does. I'm also extending the contest until 11:59 PM EST on December 30, 2009 so that gives you plenty of time to get us some new members! The raffle drawing will be held on Thursday morning, New Year's Eve, in plenty of time before the cash-out deadline. The raffle ticket numbers will be assigned at the end of the contest and before the drawing. You'll be able to see your ticket numbers on the Current Contest Stats page. The prizes will remain the same as previously noted - $5, $4, $3, $2, $1, $.50, $.25 - and for every 5 referrals you'll get $1 added to your account. They do not need to be active in order to qualify for either the raffle drawing or the $1 reward. But, of course, if they ARE active and complete offers and click the Paid To Click ads, that only benefits all of us! ;) So get those referral links out there and let's get a whole bunch of new members completing offers and clicking ads!
A member requested that I add a shopping website and I was happy to oblige! It's called Fathead (which I actually never heard of! LOL), but, if you have, and you want to buy something from there, come to Bowling for Cash and click on that 'offer' to browse their merchandise. If you buy something, you'll get 5% back on your purchases! If there are any shopping websites you'd like to use, and they aren't already on Bowling for Cash, please let me know and I'll see if I can get them.

| Info & 2 Great Shopping Sites! |
Dec 2, 2009 |
|
Make sure you come to Bowling for Cash
every day to do the Paid To Click ads! You'll cash out with a nice
chunk o' change every month and you may get even more if you're lucky
enough to win a prize in the Daily Paid To Click Raffle! There are at
least 3 prizes every day, and some members have won multiple times! One
member won a prize 3 days in a row! So come to Bowling for Cash
and see if you can win a prize! Please remember that you can only click
each ad once every 24 hours, which means you're not permitted to click
the same ads on multiple sites within that 24-hour period.
Also,
don't forget about the Referral Contest With Raffle & Rewards
that's going on now! You still have 10 days to get some active
referrals! With all the great things Bowling for Cash
has to offer, this should be fairly easy to do! Here's a list for you
to use to help you with promoting! It's also on the Members Page. ;)
$1 Sign-up Bonus
Low $10 Cash-out
First Credited Offer - member gets an extra $.50!
Daily Paid To Click Raffle - minimum of 3 cash prizes every day!
$2 for every one of your referrals (who signed up from May 1, 2009 on) who cashes out the first time!
Win Pin Game!
Scratch Ticket Game!
Besides being able to make and win great FREE money, it's also a lot of fun! So get out there and bring in those referrals!
With
respect to referrals, I need to make sure that a couple of things are
understood. All the perks of bringing in referrals do not apply with
the referrals you 'buy' with Bowling Pin Rewards. That means you don't
get $2 when they cash out the first time and those referrals don't
count in any referral contests. Those referrals are given to you and
you didn't actually bring them to the site. You still get a percentage
of their earnings, though. I wanted to clarify that so there's no
misunderstanding.
There are now a couple of new Cash Back Shopping sites on Bowling for Cash! I'm really excited about these because they're sites that I regularly
use! The first one is Geeks.com and I've bought many computer parts and
accessories from them. No matter what you need, they'll probably have
it! I've bought quite a few power supplies from them and various other
things, too. They also have great customer service. You'll definitely
want to check them out. Make sure to click on the 'offer' on Bowling for Cash,
though, to look around the site in case you ultimately want to buy
anything. If you do, you'll receive 1.25% back. The 'offer' doesn't
allow for decimal points so it only shows 1% but you'll get 1.25%.
The
other site is Collections Etc. They have some really neat stuff for the
home and garden. And the Christmas decorations are awesome! A lot of
these things would make really nice gifts, too! I bought a present for
somebody from there and got it Saturday. The best part is the price!
Wait'll you see! There are 1,500 items that are $14.99 or less! And
when they have a sale, they have a sale! Make sure to click on the
'offer' on Bowling for Cash to get to their site. If you buy anything you'll get 2% back on your purchases..
