How Earning by Categorizing
and Rating Posts Works on fanbox.com.......:
People use
FanBox Search to find the very best blog posts.
Now you can earn by
Categorizing and Rating posts... helping FanBox Search to work even better.
In this post:
First, we'll discuss how you
can CATEGORIZE posts
Then, we'll discuss how to
RATE posts
And finally, we'll discuss
how you can EARN by Categorizing and Rating posts
Categorizing
Posts
By Categorizing a post, you
are simply answering the question "What is this post REALLY about?"
You
Categorize a post by entering one or more Search Terms into this yellow box
(that appears at the bottom of all blog posts):
You can
also help Categorize a post by AGREEING or DISAGREEING with Search Terms that
other people have entered
Rating
Posts
After Categorizing a post,
you'll be asked to Rate the post -- by giving it a score of 0 to 10.
By Rating a post, you are
simply answering the question:
"How would you rate the
QUALITY of this post, as compared to other posts about this same topic?"
Think about this:
Maybe you believe a post is
definitely about "food" -- AND you believe it's a really HIGH QUALITY
post about "food".
And maybe you think the same
post is also definitely about "eating"; however, you believe it's NOT
really a great post about "eating".
So you might think that a
post is really about a number of different topics. But within each of those
topics, you might have a different opinion of how good the post is for that
topic -- so you rate it differently for each topic.
Rating a
post teaches FanBox Search HOW HIGH the post should appear in search result
listings -- relative to other posts about that same topic (Search Term).
Here's an example of Rating
posts:
After Categorizing a post
with the Search Term "food", you are then asked to Rate it -- picking
a number between 0 and 10.
3 and 4 are below average; 5
is average; and 6 and 7 are above average.
In summary, there are 3
activities in Categorizing and Rating posts:
Entering a new Search Term
into the yellow Search Term box
Agreeing or Disagreeing with
a Search Term that someone else entered
Rating a post, after you
Categorize it by doing activity A or B.
HOW DO YOU EARN by
Categorizing and Rating posts?
By Categorizing and Rating
posts, you're playing a very important role in the Knowledge Economy, because:
You're determining where
posts appear in FanBox search result listings: Up high at the top; in the
middle... or near the bottom.
Remember that posts that
appear near the top of search result listings can get over 100 times more
visitors than those that appear in the middle or bottom of search result
listings.
More visitors translate into
more time (user engagement) spent in blogs -- which is how bloggers get paid on
FanBox.
More visitors from FanBox
Search also means more fans, friends and blog followers -- leading to even more
future earnings for the blogger.
So by Categorizing and Rating
posts, you're helping to determine which posts deserve to get the lion's share
of earnings... and how much bloggers earn.
What does this mean to you?
You do not want to Categorize
or Rate posts without first putting on your THINKING CAP!
If you Categorize or Rate
without having first carefully read the blog post, you will almost definitely
be hurting your Score.
So make sure to read the blog
carefully before Categorizing and Rating it.
If you haven't carefully read
the post -- enough to form an opinion about it -- I strongly advise you to NOT
Categorize or Rate the post.
People who achieve high CAR
Scores will be rewarded with very good Categorizing and Rating earnings -- as I
promise you will see in the coming days.
People with low Scores will
earn almost nothing from Categorizing and Rating.
To maximize you’re Earnings:
Categorize and Rate as many
posts as possible!
The more you Categorize and
Rate, the more you earn -- so long as you're carefully reading the posts so
that you can Categorize and Rate them smartly.
And you ask?
How does FANBOX make money?
With the launch of Knowledge
Investor – which is
generating a lot of profits for FanBox users (Investors, Advertisers, and
Bloggers) -- one of the questions coming up is:
“How does FanBox make
profits for itself?”
The answer is:
FanBox does not make a
profit… yet.
But how can a company
continue to operate without making profits?
It happens every day.
Companies ALL start out by
spending more money than they bring in -- in order to build out the products,
services, marketing and infrastructure that they need to serve their customers.
Did you know that Facebook
raised USD $2.8 Billion from outside investors over the last 5 years?
Facebook did so – and operated at a loss
(making no profits) for years.
In a similar manner, FanBox
has been very focused on building its products and services – instead of focused on
generating profits in the short-term.
It might also interest you
to know that (in order to be able to focus single-mindedly on its mission of
helping Knowledge Workers succeed) over the course of its history, FanBox has
deliberately rejected each and every offer from investors that has come its
way.
FanBox has rejected outside
investment in order to not be influenced by investors who would naturally push
the company to make more profits more quickly.
This strategy has allowed it
to focus instead on generating profits for FanBox community members.
In order to stay alive,
FanBox has generated nearly USD $200M in retail revenues from the sale of
digital goods in partnership with mobile carriers around the world. This
revenue has allowed it to stay focused on its customers instead of its investors.
Indeed, while Facebook has
raised billions to “allow its investors and employees to cash out” (read
article), FanBox has been busy building its community and products around the
idea of allowing its customers to cash out.
So while FanBox is not
currently making a profit from its operations, it very much believes that
building a profitable business model is an important part of ensuring that it
will always be there for customers in the long term.
Towards that, in the future,
FanBox plans on generating revenues from outside advertising, along with small
fees generating by enabling community members to sell premium content (such
premium blogs, applications, music, movies and digital content), goods and
services to each other.
For now, the FanBox business
plan calls for helping community members build their skills and confidence via
a number of different types of knowledge work… and if that requires FanBox to
run for some time without making profits, it is completely satisfied with doing
that.
------------------------
Question:
In the future, when FanBox
launches new revenue streams, does that mean that you can earn more – or less -- on FanBox?
Answer:
New revenue streams for
FanBox means more opportunities for FanBox members to earn – and earn more.
Would YOU like to help
FanBox succeed?
Question:
What’s best thing that YOU
can do to help FanBox become very profitable and a huge success?
Answer:
Become a big success
yourself!
Look, FanBox’s mission is to
help you succeed.
By focusing on becoming a
big success on FanBox, you are doing the very best thing that you can do, to
help FanBox succeed.
As you succeed, you will be
leading by example – paving the
way for others to follow in your footsteps.
Just take a look at Arlene – who within the next few
hours will become the Worldwide number one, all-time earner on FanBox.
Arlene started on FanBox a
few years ago, and waited patiently while products were built, and services
went live, and bugs were eliminated, and products revised and improved, and so
on and so forth.
By figuring out how to
succeed despite the product, community, mental and other roadblocks in her way,
she paved the way for others to succeed.
(Indeed, along the way, she
has been quick to give pointers to others, so that they could benefit from her
patience, trials and tribulations too).
As a result of her success,
hundreds of thousands of others have become inspired to take action, set goals
and work towards their own success.
Here's the thing: You can
have the same – or even
greater– impact on
the success of the community than Arlene has had!
(Remember that your success
can now happen faster and you can be more influential than Arlene was, because
when she started out she didn’t have the tools, capabilities and community that
you now have at your disposal).
So, the very best thing that
you can do to help FanBox succeed is to get out of bed every day, focus your
mind on the positive, set and review your goals -- and execute on your own
success plan.
FanBox can ONLY succeed when
you do.
Here are some Money Making
Secrets!
Find out how top members
made it to the top ten worldwide leader board!
I have been trying to
figure out for months how to earn on FanBox and I want to share all the things
I have learned. I did not earn that much money right away. This has been a slow
climb and not always upward. There were many times where I barely made
anything....just pennies for weeks. I never gave up. Persistence is important.
These are all things I have done and continue to do. I want to share, so
everyone can learn to make money on here because it is very possible. So here
are my tips for success, so you make $$$$$.......
1. Make posts, read and
comment on others posts!
If you are new to FanBox
or are wondering what to do this is where you should start. Just start posting.
Create blogs that interest you and that you think might interest others. We all
have different taste, so more than likely your post will be interesting to
someone. Make the post...keep an eye on it and check to see if others comment.
If you get comments always respond to the comments. This helps because you will
make friends and your post will go through the feed again, so it has another
opportunity to be seen. If you don't receive a comment make one, so your post
will be seen in the feed again.
2. You need fans!
You need fans because
they are the ones who will see your posts, read them and make comments. The
more fans you have the better the chance someone will see your post and want to
read it. Fan people!!! Fan everyone!!! Fan someone when you read their post and
whenever you see you are not a fan of someone. If they comment on a post you
have made see if you are their fan. As you look at the news feed and read blogs
fan those people too. It's only a matter of time before you have hundreds of
fans. Fanbox also gives you fans which is a great bonus!
3. Experiment with Ads!
I have made many ads so
far and most of them didn't work so well for me in the beginning as far as
bringing me a lot of money. Make an ad for every post as you now have the
opportunity for a knowledge investor to fund it. As of now we can't track our
ads performance, but we will have that ability in the future, so it's a bit of
a guessing game. My advice if you don't know what to fund is fund one ad at a
time to see which one you earn from and that will give you an idea of what ads
to fund. You can also gain exposure to new fans. You can also run ads for other
people’s posts and set them for a knowledge investor to fund!
Make sure you have
relevant tags for your ad. When you create an ad for the first time the system
doesn't know if that post is popular or not, so it will show your ad a lot.
Once it learns if your ad gets clicks or not it will determine if it should
continue to show impressions or serve your ad. So, if you aren't earning from
your ads it's because they aren't getting clicks and then they don't get
shown...the more popular ads get shown first and the unpopular ones get buried.
So you have a chance in the beginning to make a good impression if you create
good work!
4. Tags are important!
Always fill in all of
your 6 tags/search terms. If you don't it's a MISSED opportunity. Tags are
important because they match your post to users with those interests. If you
don't it's a missed opportunity as your post will reach fewer users within the
site. Make sure your tags relate to the content of your post because now people
can rate your post. If your tags do not relate to your post you can be rated
poorly and your post will be pushed down in a search.
5. Place the dollar sign
correctly!
Place the dollar sign
after the first few sentences of your post. The dollar sign is where the Read
More goes and you only make money after people click the read more to get to
your post.
6. Be patient and
consistent!
I have been on here for
months and have only just started to gain some momentum. It does not always
happen overnight. I have also put time into this every day. I am on here every
day either making a post or reading and commenting. Be respectful of others and
create a presence. You may have days or weeks when you feel like you have not
been earning, but don't give up!
7. Read everything FanBox!
Read every post you see
about how people are making money on FanBox. Most people are very willing to
share what they have learned with you. Many of the people on the leader board
have very informative blogs about what they have done to make money. There are
no tricks or secrets. It takes hard work and some creativity.
8. Ad links to your posts!
Another way to earn money
is by making sure you have a link in your post. You can link your post to
another post and continue to earn money while the reader is looking at the
other post.
9. Rate & Categorize:
You can also rate and
categorize other people’s posts to earn ad credits! This is a great way to
accumulate some funds to promote your own ads. You can also ad tags if the post
has less than 6 tags. This activity increases your 'CAR' score the most. The
system remembers you and how you rate, so be objective to gradually increase
your score. If you have no money this is a great way to gain some then you can
fund your own ads and make more money! Got it!! ;)
10. Investing
The investing feature has
only been available to us for a couple of weeks. I have been investing and
diversifying my investments and seem to make a nice return. Sometimes I let
Fanbox decide the return and investment and sometimes I select a minimum return
usually within the parameters they give me and I select a variety of people,
interests and charities to invest in. This is how I got in the top 10 on the
leader board worldwide! This has helped me make largest earnings I have ever
made on the site! If you are unsure what to do you can set FanBox to control
your return and your investment.
11. Comments
Always respond to people
when they comment on your post. First, you want to respond to any question they
may have or just show them you appreciate them spending time on your post.
After you initially make a post it will go through the feed right away if you
have no pictures, and it will take longer if you do have photos. After you are
sure it has gone through the feed once make a comment on your post and it will
go through the feed again. Check your posts and respond or make your own
comment because this will help your post be seen. Each time you comment or
someone else does it goes through the news feed again for everyone to see.
Especially if you are just starting out and you don't have much money to
promote your posts through ads.
12. Building Community
The more you read and
comment on other posts you will start to make friends. Fanbox is a community of
people that support each other and we want everyone to succeed. People are very
helpful on this site and are always willing to answer questions, so just ask!
13. Teacher
If you are new to the
site you have two weeks to select a 'teacher' to help you navigate the site. If
someone invited you to the site go to their home page and on the bottom left
side you can select them as your teacher. You only have two weeks to after you
create an account to do this. Don't worry if you missed that opportunity.....
14. Success Coaching
Fanbox is so interested
in seeing people succeed that they have created a program called 'Success
Coach.' When you create an ad you have a chance at getting a success coach. A
coach can help you navigate your way through the site and provide support and encouragement
for. Your coach will answer any questions you have about the site and give you
suggestions to improve. Your coach is there to help you be successful, so take
advantage as this is a great opportunity! Interested in becoming a coach? If
you are in the top 25 on the leaderboard in any of the various areas for
earning you have the chance to be nominated to be a coach! Take a look at the
full leader board and on the right side above the board you can use the drop
down menus to view the top 25 earners in the various areas.
Important Tip:
The system remembers you,
so the better you get at rating and categorizing, earning from others reading
your posts, earning with ads etc. you will actually notice your earnings will
go up! This is because of the algorithms. :)
These are all the things
I have done and still do to maximize my profits from my posts. If you are new
on FanBox I hope you find this guide helpful and if you are not so new I hope
you are doing all of these things or will start to!
The FanBox Ad Standards
may be shared with your students it helps everyone understand the rules and to
better understand why ads are rejected.
As for the 7 exams to
become a SC there is a module you will need to study for the exams, which once
your read the module information and feel you are ready you the click start
exam and have to complete the exam in one hour or you fail.
You must score at least
23 out of 25 points to pass each section, then once you pass you will go to a
site called FanBox University and complete that.
When you complete all of
that you are monitored for a set amount of time before you are fully vested.
