[Golden Cross]

Hello is this still going on

[shajandr]

Nobuddy won the "prize" for most membership referrals, as there were none.

[shajandr]

Unlikely any memberships have been sold.

[Golden Cross]

All pages should be auto injected with the referral code. This makes sharing any page eligible for referral credit! And the should be at least 30day tracking cookie used so if they don't sign up the first time and they visit and do sign up later you can still get credit...

[shajandr]

Has anyone gotten a referral new member?

What a farce (that means joke for you iHub members).

[Golden Cross]

Auto Inject Referral Codes into every page @ihub

[shajandr]

This website is dying. I don't expect many will be wiling to pay for a membership to iHub or MySpace.

[Golden Cross]

Yes, they have and don't reply to me...

[shajandr]

LOL! Yup, until they gett sumbuddy to sign upp

[Golden Cross]

I assume this is still going on?

[shajandr]

Have you sold any so far?

[Golden Cross]

Repost needs answered: How many days are people tracked if they click on the link and leave but come back later and decide to join on another day?

[shajandr]

The membership drive has really caught fire.

[shajandr]

Is there anyone still using iHub? Need to bring back Andrew and Market Vision to post some more Clem interviews about kleptocurrencies.

[Golden Cross]

[shajandr]

Well this hasn't gone well. Like the Market Vision board

[Golden Cross]

Go play in your sandbox

[Lime Time]

Did you not make a QR code or something?

3000+ fake followers and can't get one iHub referral?

[Golden Cross]

Well, just maybe its above your pay grade to understand it...

[Lime Time]

Dude, you got 3100+ member follows and you can't get one person to refer to iHub?

Something not right there

[Lime Time]

Where is the link that shows membership referral status, aka current winner rankings?

Maybe I'm missing it, can it be added to iBox?

Oh well. It's the weekend, gonna try more.

[Golden Cross]

Yeppers

[IH Admin [Meghan] (former)]

Maybe they need some encouragement? 🤞

[Golden Cross]

Getting lots of link clicks according to twitter link click info but no conversions yet😿

[Lime Time]

Posted a few flyers at the best spots.

Is anybody else participating in the Membership Drive?

I'm expecting to get maybe 2.5 member sign-ups.

It's a fun activity.

[IH Admin [Meghan] (former)]

…. Yeah, I get that. I was just interested in seeing what you’d done with it.

[koolmc]

lol yep sad state of affairs when ihub need to resort to this due to dwindling activity on the board.

[Lime Time]

We call "artwork" in IT any kind of PDF you apply variable data to. In this case, the only variable is the QR code and it's only 1 group so it's static. Picture walking out of the grocery store and seeing a flyer that catches your eye with those tear-offs at the bottom with a QR Code to scan.

[IH Admin [Meghan] (former)]

Artwork, eh? Care to share? I like seeing creativity!

[Lime Time]

I think it's fun. I just finished my flyer artwork.

[Golden Cross]

Then you don't understand MLM

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

Lol - again...comparing apples to oranges!!! Being a social media Admin does not really make you any sort of expert on different business models when your focus is enforcing the rules. We are not analysts or armchair quarterbacks even when it comes to the company's discussed here. Our focus is keeping politics, etc. off of stock specific boards.

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

You find it morally reprehensible...ok. Opinion noted.

There's nothing suggesting that those that don't want to participate "have to" in anyway.

As to my motives, lol, you or anyone else can conjure up whatever scenario you want and run with it. No skin off my nose either way.

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

Finding two completely different models distasteful is once again not comparing apples to oranges. They can both be "tawdry" to you but that doesn't make them the same thing.

In any event, cool with us that you don't want to participate. It's out there for anyone that does.

" I just googled it because I had a very vague understanding of the whole concept."

I find that difficult to believe for a person whose professional life is currently focused on a financial website largely based on financial fraud (e.g., pennystocks). Butt I will take your word at face value.

Executive Summary

1. The Membership Drive provides a guaranteed financial benefit to the origiantor (iHub and staff benefit from increased membership - which pays your salaries and benefits both directly and via increased advertisement revenue from increased traffic)) and a windfall financial benefit for a small number of lucky participants whilst leaving the bulk of participants getting nothing for their investment of time and effort. Even the most prolific membership recruiter is most iikely going to gett nothing for their work.

2. A pay-per-membership would at least be similar to a pay-per-piece compensation scheme.as used in some offshore garment sweatshops or pay-per-box produce harvesters in the USA, Mexico and Central America. This would be an improvement over the current winner-take-all scheme.

3. If iHub wants to solicit more memberships it should pay for its own advertising and nott exploit peoples' greed and cheat them of the fruits of their labour. for the benefit of iHub.

4. It is funny how things look different from the other side of the fence when YOUR paycheck and future employment is on the line. Morals are very flexible when money is on the line.

[shajandr]

iHub is bribing Users (a chance to win $15,000) in order to get them to solicit more paying members and their chances are proportional to how many new memberships they can solicit. It is using a monetary reward (a chance to win $15,000) to motivate people to do something they otherwise would not do and which benefits iHub and, butt for one or at most a handful of winners the overwhelming majority of individuals wind up with nothing for their efforts.

I find this desperate, tawdry, and frankly exploitative. 99 percent of the participants will have been working on behalf of iHub and will receive nothing for their efforts. This is more exploitative than.picking lettuce in the Imperial Valley - at least those workers gett something for their efforts.

The membership drive is a gimmick to gett people to work for free on behalf of iHub.

And I find that desperate, tawdry, and, whilst legal, at best borderline unethical.

Similar to the greasiness of MLM schemes and pyramid schemes where the rewards dangled to motivate people to solicit others for the benefit of the company often wind up enriching the company and a very small number of the laborers will reap huge rewards while 99 percent of the rest will be left high and dry, receiving nothing for their efforts.

It is a winner-take-all inducement. iIn MLM and pyramid schemes, the early participants make ~OUTT like bandits while the remainder folks get nothing - their investment of money or time getts them nothing.. Whether one invests money or their time, the principle is the same. Time is money after all..

And like MLM, iHub is using people and their time for iHub's benefit without just compensation and it is being done on the cheap in lieu of iHub paying for its own advertising.

Robber-barons would be proud of this scheme.

Edit: Nvm, your response or theory is just asinine. I just googled it because I had a very vague understanding of the whole concept. I can confidently say, you're just flat out wrong. There is no bottom tier, there is no buy-in, there is no contributing to anyone else's efforts.

Did you read how the Drive is structured? Or is it your mission to just throw out random crap that you dream up about anything iHub does? Is your goal simply trolling iHub now?

Original: I have no idea how you came up with that. Isn't the basis of most MLM or Pyramid schemes that you have to "buy" into them?

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

Recommendations or steps on how to do that might be really helpful to others that like the idea but aren't sure where to start. :)

[Lime Time]

Ima gonna post me QR code all over the place everywhere.

On the bathroom stall.

On the grocery store pinboard.

On Craigslist.

On the stupid employee board at the 9to5

On the email blaster.

On the Plane at the beach that Flys by Ocean City Maryland with the banner in the back.

On the billboard signs, the digital ones.

In Time Square. Full service.

I'm hoping for 2 sign-ups, max. Free.

😃

[shajandr]

The membership drive reminds me of Amway and Herbalife. Classic MLM pyramid schemery

[Lime Time]

Extend this to end of year 2023.

That's a suggestion and makes sense.

Good Luck everyone with your Membership Drive competition.

Thank you.

A tip from me: make your link into a QR code.

Woot 🚀

[Lime Time]

I think one month is too short. Maybe extend this to 2 months or 3 months? Stocks are very slow period now. Well let's see how it goes. Didn't know this board existed.

Thank you!


Update:
Nevermind. I see it was extended.
A few months or more sounds good.
T.y.

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

@Lime Time QR code - very cool! Hope you make lots of cash! :)

[mick]

YES SHELLY

[IH Admin [Shelly]]

Do you mean to promote the Membership Drive? If yes, we haven't really talked about that aspect but it is at the top of every board. So I don't think it would be an issue if you encouraged people to click on that link and participate.
