    The unspoken truth about the sig whoring business.

    So, I spoke to this guy the other day (on ICQ). I won't go into details here, let's just name him John.

    John has been a sigwhore for almost 3 years and people will recognize him from various nicknames he is using. John post activly at 7 adult message boards and averages 350 posts per day (this is what he told me).

    Ok, so far, nothing special. Now buckle up!!

    John's business is growing by $2,50 US every day, not that much you may think, but let's do the numbers on this, shall we?

    A year has about 360 days, so if John's business is growing by as little as $2,50 US per day, he will pack in an amazing $900 every day by the end of the first year.

    However my little ICQ friend has been doing this for almost 3 years now. He now turns over more than $2500 ($3000 on a good day) per day.

    He never had a website, he never bought any traffic, he doesn't even know what html is.


    John is what you may call a fulltime sigwhore.

    i don't believe any sig whore makes more than a hundred dollars a day. period. they just aren't worth enough for anyone to pay them that much for a mere 350 post/day (from the info you gave). i don't think 3500 posts/day are worth 100 bucks. the bottom line is return. someone might give you a good deal for one month, but if they aren't seeing anything from it, it's over.

    you can only run from messageboard to messageboard for so long.

      50 post per day per board not bad, but does not seem realistic. On some of the smaller boards all you would see is his postings

          Quiet's right.

          Moreover, why pay big money when you can outsource it for pennies per post?

            He can make 2,50 a day but I dont think the 2,50 will grow to like 3000 a day. Did he tell you how? He might have been bullshitting you?

              I don't think people paid for sigs 3 years ago

              However it would be in theory possible the man is making the money off referrals alone. After 3 years i bet they would start to stack up, although i highly doubt most sponsors actually pay them for long. Fuckers usually say "that account got term'd and stuff like that"

              Still possible

                3 different programs paying for webmaster referals, 2 pay 10%, 1 he got to 20%.

                I've seen his stats, he does not sig whore flyby shit, just those 3 programs.

                  I would like to see his stats. Referals tend to drop out after time.
                  So on average its 13%.
                  3k a day means others are making him 23k a day. Average amount for an affiliate is $15. That means people are making him over 1500 signups a day.
                  Looks to me like an enormous amount of affilates that signed up through him and did their very best to promote it day in day out...
                  And...they all succeeded.
                  I dont mean to be disrespectful but I think John knows his way around photoshop.

                    so, is this guy posting somewhat quality posts or is he just posting anything and everything that comes to his mind on every single thread?

                      3 years of nothing but webmaster referrals? Highly possible. I made 52k in around a year and a half from 2 active affiliates. Still pushing $400 a week or so from 1 guy. If I did nothing but recruit affiliates I would go into it planning on making thousands per day down the road.

                      Think about what he said. $2.50 per day. $25 signup x 10% = $2.50. If he adds just 1 sale in his downline per day he is right on track.

                        Yea, it sounds possible. The right programs, the right boards and good posts would do it.

                        Not some of the crap that some turn out, but good legitimate posts on well traveled boards..... If he can make a living at it, I say more power to him. He's found a way to do something so few have...

                                If all you did for a full time job was post on asst boards. In a 8 hr day you could post
                                480 x , now on one board that would be hard but if you posted on 8 to 10 boards a day it wouldnt be.

                                          I had a friend once who was always showing some other friends' stats... I had once to ask him when would I see our Stats like that ???

                                          If I'd be making 1-3k a day, I'd never show my stats to anyone...

                                            That sounds like something he read in the AMWAY manual..

                                              Is that true ???

                                              I have lot of webmasters traffic and I send some of it to sponsors pgm, but I don't have any surfer traffic (lack of time) to send to tehir surfers sites...

                                              So does that mean that I am sending webmasters to them for nothing ???

                                              Sounds a bit unethical to me

                                                                        However it would be in theory possible the man is making the money off referrals alone. After 3 years i bet they would start to stack up, although i highly doubt most sponsors actually pay them for long. Fuckers usually say "that account got term'd and stuff like that"

                                                                        Still possible

                                                                            Not everyone can do it, though. But it is very believable to me.

                                                                            If you did a lot of research, played your cards right and spent a good many hours a day working, in 2 years you could probably buy a home and nice car without ever learning html or graphics or even owning anything yourself business related at all.
                                                                            People only say it's bullshit because they think it's so "easy" and they should be making that money too if it were that easy, well to all of you, that way of thinking is in itself bullshit because nearly everything looks easy to everyone if they're watching someone who is an expert at it. (Doesn't mean it really is).
