NOOBS Showcase Sponsor FINALISTS
 

Hi there, I'm pleased to announce that the sponsor selection process for the NOOBS Showcase has narrowed to four finalists:




This has been anything but easy. We have made the top priority making money for the lucky NOOB. And the assessment has been based on predictive, empiricial factors as well as data (where available). The TGP context has its challenges and that has reflected on our selection. From this point to the final selection I would like to see each of the four finalists put their best content-foot forward. The NOOBS are putting heart and soul into these galleries, and I think it's only right that their effort should be answered with top-of-the-heap material from these deep-pocketed programs. Especially when the content factor can make all the difference.

I realize, of course, some may have been reluctant to post links to the primo stuff, so please send your links or zip-files to [email protected].

As I promised, there will be benefit for ALL the programs who were kind enough to raise a hand when called, and posted in this thread. The 3 finalists not chosen for this NOOBS Showcase will have something even more special, from me personally -- :) -- for me, the essence of the NOOB message, as I've discovered it this past month, is: We can all win, all of us.

Thanks for your attention -- :)

PS: Be reminded that Jeff Random (spot donor) will be chronicling the NOOB contest and the campaign on jeffrandom.com. Thanks, Jeff -- :)

awesome - you guys are working hard!

I'm emailing Tala now to find out what's needed 2HP :thumbsup

Right on. :)

Thanks very much for stepping up -- you know how it is with new ideas -- :winkwink: -- all it takes is a little momentum -- but I really think we're rolling now, thanks to folks like yourselves -- :)


2HP

I gotcha Ruth. :)

Thanks to everyone who's helped so much.

Congrats to the sponsors chosen, and thanks to those who weren't...
Now, Tala, where can I find details on what us noobs are supposed to be doing exactly? I feel like I must have my head in the clouds but I am not 100% certain of what the deal is. TY!

Head on over to the board and look for the showcase thread. That should tell you what's needed. :)

And email me for any other questions. I am installing trillian right now on this computer, so it'll be a while before I can ICQ.

Thanks, sugar, I'm on my way...

Thought I would give a little clarification for everyone, and ask for some input.

Here is the process I posted (complete info)

# I donate my spot to the Noob Showcase (of course there?s a catch, there?s always a catch*)
# Sponsors who want the traffic/PR make their case why they should be the ones promoted (payouts, hosting, content, conversions etc)
We are here -the final four: Adult Friend Finder, PussyCash, RealityCash & WEGCash
# The Noob Advisors pick the sponsor
# The Noobs & Advisors work through the logistics (hosting, 2257 etc)
# The Noobs individually compete to produce the best gallery
# The Noob Advisors work with the winning Noob to ?tune? the gallery *updated*
# The winner gets the gallery spot and the revenues

* The Catch. I get the data & publishing rights. The entire process is documented every step of the way. Advisor discussions, gallery submissions, sponsor submissions, traffic stats, sales stats, screen shots - the whole shebang. Of course I?m not planning on keeping this to myself, hence the case study.

Now Adult Friend Finder, PussyCash, RealityCash & WEGCash it's time for all of you to really promote your program!
Make the case why you should be the sponsor chosen.

What's relevant? What should you tell us about?
Payouts of course, conversions, hosting, 2257, content, which site to promote maybe, or what kind of support you can offer ... it's up to you. Please tell us about your strengths

So Sagi &/or Lars, Corey &/or Ruth, Ramos &/or Rred, and Traffic Addict talk to us!

For everyone else, please give us your input.
Many of you know these programs inside out.
Maybe you have questions that the final four could answer to help make this tough decision easier.
Perhaps you do really well with a particular site for one of the sponsors. (and don't mind telling us)
Do they have great reporting (stats)?
Does one of them have a particular marketing tool that would be great for the top spot on Sleazydream?
Even if there is just something that you like about a particular sponsor in the final four let us know about it.

So speak up GFY - help us use the the collective wisdom (I know it's an oxymoron) to help the winning Noob get the most out of the gallery spot.

-Jeff Random

PS For anyone interested in being one of the Noobs please get ahold of Tala or 2HP.

PPS Traffic Addict - could you email me? jeffrandom at g m a i l .com

2HP

Very cool, ty, NB!

I'm a noobie

Your gf is gorgeous. :winkwink:

Realitycash rocks :)

there's no shame in that -- and, lately, lots of attention and cash -- :winkwink:

2HP

wow, great noob showcase.

So here is what PussyCash / ImLive has to offer to any Noob that will take part in this contest :2 cents:

1) The best support you can ask for, Adam and Ace are available for any question you have 24/7, you can ICQ them or send them an email, and you will get a replay in less then a few minutes (I really think this is something that is priceless when you are a Noob)
2) We have uploaded new content to PussyCash that is 2257 compliance and you can get the 2257 as well.
3) If you will pick ImLive.com to be the site you build your Gallery for and win this contest you will get all this stuff :winkwink:
a) $100 per signup, starting from the first signup (generated by this Gallery).
b) An Ipod Shuffle
c) If this contest will be over during the month of August, you get to collect Porsche tickets for your signups.

If you need any more info feel free to contact our team any time :pimp

Those are some great programs.

I really think Ramos and realitycash do a great job. I'm not a guru by any means, but if I was giving advice to any noobie, I would point them to reality cash for a few simple reason.

1) CONTENT, CONTENT, CONTENT - Noobies dont have niche traffic, reality cash gives them a variety of niches to work with.

Even most sets can appeal to multiple niches which works well in getting tgp listings.
Example: I've had "MILF" content listed in blowjob niche on tgps. Might not have recieved the listing if not.

Content area and admin area are easy to navigate. which is always good

2) Payment Options: Uses Nats, which is good. Gives the noob the ability to transition from pay per signup to partnership % if wanted.
Most noobs need cash, I suggest they get paid per signup to get it faster and then transition into the partnership option for long term revenue once stable.
Reality Cash makes it easy with the linking codes/campaign option.

3) The staff. I feel like I've known my boy Ramos since we were kids. I bug the shit out of him several times a day with life changing realtycash questions and he hasn't told me to fuck off yet. Thats pretty good.


Seriously,

Reality cash is a good company that gives noobies the options that help them grow into rev share and take advantage of niche traffic when they find it.


All those companies are good for sure, but a long term relation with realiity cash is a good thing to have in your pocket.



Good luck everyone

:thumbsup Bling Bling :pimp

ruth, all i can say is...




2HP

Thank you very much for the donation NewBreed. This brings up some interesting issues for the winning noob, and by extension for many of us.

I Am Not A Lawyer (IANAL) but to the best of my understanding it goes something like this:
If the sponsor is hosting/publishing the gallery, then the sponsor is responsible for the 2257 documentation. (If this is not correct please let me know!)

If the sponsor chosen is offering free hosting, then it would be in essence a custom, exclusive, free hosted gallery. Perhaps in the future CEFHGs (custom, exclusive, free hosted galleries) will be a feature that affiliates look for in a sponsor if they don't have the resources to deal with 2257 documentation.

RealityCash has already offered free hosting, and AFF will be posting here soon.
PussyCash & WEGCash want to amend your offers to include hosting the gallery?
If all of the sponsors offer to host/publish, then the software may not turn out to be used for this contest.

However, if the sponsor chosen doesn't offer to host/publish the gallery, or more likely if the winning noob should turn out to like submitting galleries (and who wouldn't with a start like this?) then there is a strong likelihood that they will want to have the option to use images requiring 2257 documentation in their galleries in the future, especially for sponsors that don't offer CEFHGs. Either way thank you again NewBreed for your donation.

This brings up a point to consider/discuss. I don't mean to threadjack, but unless every sponsor offers to host/publish then it will be relevant in choosing the final sponsor. I created the thread 2257: Sentenced to 5 years for discussion of the ramifications.

The gist of the issue is as follows:
Section 75.5 requires that if you are keeping 2257 documentation then you (or an employee not a 3rd
party) have the records available for inspection during "normal" business hours with a minimum of 20 hours per week.

Even if you have the perfect software, and your records are in perfect order etc etc then in order to even use one image that
requires 2257 documentation, you have to be prepared to make a 20+ hour per week committment for at least 5 years.

If that is correct (I hope someone can show me it's not) then I am going to once again ask that AFF, PussyCash, and WEGCash join RealityCash in offering to host/publish the gallery for the winning noob.

As long as the ImLive Gallery will by using the free content that you can find on PussyCash We will have no problem hosting the winning Gallery :pimp

Why choose Adult FriendFinder as your sponsor? Simply put, in nine years we?ve created the biggest adult dating site in the world because:

· Surfers want more than porn, they want real action?real hook-ups, real sex!

· With more than 17 million active members (and 65,000 new sign-ups a day!), no one gives surfers more hot profiles and photos

· Porn stars are great but we offer surfers the ultimate in ?reality porn?: real girls in their hometown and across the globe..

· We?re the No. 1 single-site affiliate program on the web because experienced webmasters know that we convert, retain and pay out big bucks.

· We?ve been paying honestly and on time though our own trusted affiliate program since 1996.

· Our geo-targeted banners serve up each surfer?s city name?and pictures of local girls or guys. It?s like you?ve designed part of your website just for each of your visitors.

· Three ways to make money: Up to $1 per click; $30 per order, or up to 75 percent rev share plus rebills.

· Great retention and up-sells so as members get hooked on the site, they upgrade to our gold and silver memberships and you get paid.
