I don't think this will last long but there are so many things that people will call about, you have to use your imagination.

This won't end, there are two many legit services running through it. If you don't believe me try calling 1-800-free-411 or equiv. These companies spam just for brand recognition and don't expect imm sales.

Not to be negative but I don't think it will last long if none of the calls convert. It's just like anything else ya know. Maybe if you post on cl something that is related to the ads they hear, it may convert.

here is a link to a forum discussing a similar program in the UK designed for students, they all went wild and posted ad's for apts way underpriced or easy jobs with inflated salaries.

You can add all of your information under the account section.

I've heard of a few people getting paid, I tried this for a few hours with custom captcha bots and pulled in about $130, I can make it an entirely automated process, waiting on the check now.

Thought I would share my technique, maybe it can be added to your's. I bought a prepaid phone, AT&T, listed it for NYC. Started posting general apt ad's and erotic services. Generally written ads for craigs that have worked for me say preferences or are copied partially from other ad's. I always scramble the number between Apt or erotic so that people searching cannot connect the two, in apt's I say I don't want to be the victem of a telemarketer. I keep the prepaid for the confirmation call, there is 1 payphone in my town, I can pick the area code to match my listing city and I like seeing the missed calls personally, at least for now. I plan on flying under the radar and not letting the earnings reach too high on one account. Any other ideas from those who want to share? BTW, on the one test apt ad "room for rent -350" 23 people called at 11:30pm in my timezone in the first 20mins. I can see this can be big.

i was putting up fake ads for free ipods and iphones
phone got 17$ worth of rings the 1st 5 hrs

On other forums they are making nightly repeat calls to one anothers number. How crazy, even drumming it out at 150 calls an hr that only amounts to just more than minnimum wage. They stopped forwarding calls to my prepaid, even with my own test. I feel for the people giving this out as their 'new number'

aren't you guys gonna make more with CPA or dating rather than this? seems not worth the effort.

Buster, I found on another test I ran that if I include a line saying the number is a work line and sometimes it does not connect and I invite them to try again it converts like crazy.

here's a little something for you


first you need to setup 2 brring accounts.

next, you create a custom message and tell the person that this number has been abused and that your new number is the number of your second account.

what happens is that they dont have a pen handy to write down the new number, so they end up calling #1 again, and this time write down the number for #2, and then they call it.

On #2, you can send them back to #1, or give them a url or whatever, because you are getting 3 calls per caller on average (2 to the first number, and 1 to the second number).

now jump around on forums and blogs and post about one of the marketing gurus and how you had to fight for support through their crappy system, but now finally got their direct phone number, finally got help... list #1 number in your post.

i used internet marketing gurus for my target because they rip off people on such a large scale, and always provide basically no support, so these people start hitting the number like crazy, and to top it off, they are used to getting pitched for some product or service, so they fully expect it, and are even more inclined to listen to the message entirely.

finally, the internet marketing gurus become worth something to you. they start making you money instead of you giving money to them, and because it isnt their real number, they really can't get you into any trouble for putting their personal information out on the web.

On their site it now say "BETA TEST SPECIAL: $10 for your first 10 calls."

hmmmm

You are my hero

I'm hoping the special is to attract attention and they turn full fledged. This has been around for a while since companies began to sell ad's on their hold time for people to listen to, this is just the first I've seen where regular schmos like us can reap the rewards. Yahoo has a similar system with ingenio but it's not right for us right now.

No, they dont want the phone used for free. Im sure if cell phones werent everywhere they would have figured out how to charge for incoming calls.

Question about multiple accounts. I am not inclined to believe that the people with ten accounts have ten names with ten addys, so how are you setting up multiple accounts? I would think this would lead to your account being canceled.


Ahh.. the group setting. I see now.

Each user is worth 60 cents and if you have your phone ringing off the hook like i do right now you could make about $15 an hr its crazy.

What do you mean profiled? I missed that part.

LOL....the guru phone method is brilliant!

I have put in a support request with brring, being creative in my wording and explaining that my phone lines are business related and have extremely high call volume, and asked them to let me know if this was going to be an issue for them. The hidden purpose of course was/is to alert them that my account will have significant volume, so that they can't come back on me later and try to dispute any amount of money they owe me because of high call volume. I'll post here when I get a reply. In my mind (as limited as it sometimes is) IF they acknowledge that I will have high call volume, they can't use this as a reason not to pay. So, if it works out, I'll post it here so that you will know their position on this issue.

Cool idea busterbrown. sort of daisy-chain each ad call to the next to that the caller is auto-forwarded to one ad after the other. Could be great potential in that idea.

I think a daisy chain would work but it would only double your average earnings (to 10c a call potentially). On apt ads I've posted people have been emailing the ad and listing their number to call, 50 so far. I'm changing the format on a test to profile their number and then respond to their email with a please call me message. It will be better than spamming if you want to get into it or at least a nice addition to the business model.

The question is can you get a profile credit after someone has called, in my account, no. I can't see daisy chaining and profiling working alone, you would have to read the logs, profile them and then hope they called back after the profile, if at all. Too much to chance and too much rush work for me...

And does anyone know of any other companies similar to this? or have any ideas on how to setup my own business like this?

Thanks i think im hooked if they pay for real.

Yes, I got paid on 5 accounts already. One check came in a few days and the rest were scattered over the course of about 10 days.


I still have 5 more accounts that I am getting paid on and requested payment yesterday.

No, I don't know any other companies that are doing this.

I would not suggest doing this for the long haul. Who knows how long Brring will even be around let alone allowing so many phone calls per line.

They may eventually impose a daily limit to what they will pay on.

For me this is a very small side project that I spend about 10-15 minutes a day on. I figure you can make some quick money and then get out. I am not expecting to retire on this.

My suggestion would be to not exploit one account to heavily. I have 10 accounts and don't allow to many calls per line. I usually check each account about mid way through the day and if it is over 200 calls I will start to either edit the ads with that number and change the number to one that hasn't received a ton of calls or I delete the posting all together.

Hope this helps.

I wish it had an option to be paid by referring myspace members and not just facebook, i don't know of a facebook friend adder.

So Trump, you're making 100 a day and they're paying? Are you claiming to fundraise?

No, I just post ads on Craigslist as well as facebook and myspace. I post about 10 different ads per number ranging from apartments for rent to a free couch.

So far I have gotten paid on 5 accounts and I am waiting for 5 more. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have this many accounts because you need to send them to several different addresses. Fortunately, I am able to send them to my business addresses as well as my home and a few family member homes.

So I'm guessing since you have been paid they haven't questioned the high volume, this was my main concern. I'm sure your volume is higher than mine but it's nice to know I can securely increase.

If you really want some Brring numbers to get called, post some newspaper classifieds around Christmas stating "Cash for your used Christmas tree...free pick up!" A co-workers and I did this as a prank 25-something years ago on a boss that was a real tool He was whining about "100's" of calls the first day and he changed his number on the second day. This was of course before caller-ID, call-blocking, etc.

Back to Brring, the personal ad bit is running dry for me and I'm getting better results from rentals and too-good-to-be-true deals on "never opened" stuff like plasma TV's and PS3's.

Great method. I may have to try it. I have stopped all together with the personal ads because the ads get deleted quickly and the conversion rates are low, mostly they preferred to e-mail instead of call.

Listing apartments in NYC or SF in good neighborhoods at low prices have yielded me ridiculous amounts of calls.

One apartment in NYC yielded me over 200 calls in one day, Friday.

I noticed many of those people called back several times. If I had the time I would sit on Brring all day and everytime someone called I would "profile" that number and get 50 cents when they called back.

The Profile feature on Brring is when you enter someones phone number, name and preferences, obviously you would be making that part up. When they call back Brring automatically credits you 50 cents. I believe they are willing to do this because they are providing that person more targeted advertising.

Searching through a couple of accounts today I noticed that about 20% percent of people call back within a few hours or the next day. Some call back several times, especially the New York apartment ads.

Believe me it is tough to find a good cheap apartment in NYC, Manhattan so this might be your best bet.

The call back rate for an apartment ad in NYC was more like 60% and many of those people call back several times. You do only get paid the 50 cents once not more than once.

I figured if I were to spend an hour mid-way through the day profiling people on the NYC Apartment ads it would probably yield me an additional $75 to $100 a day.

However, Profiling this many people on different accounts may be a red flag so I may limit the profile feature to 5 or 10 profiles per account. If 60 % of those people call back I figure I could make about $40 to $50 additional with about an extra 20 minutes work.

Try this method and make some extra cash.

So do I. You could always invite all of your friends on myspace to join and maybe even make a group about it.

I really don't have the time to do this and am sticking with auto posting but you may want to try.

My volume of calls is right around 175 to 200 per line per day. I don't like to let it get above 200.

If you access the email most people for apts list their own number in them so you could profile it and then send them an email saying you are sorry you missed the call and ask them to call back, usually a 100% convert. You think 5-10 profiles a day would be the limit?

You can profile as many people as you want. I just don't want to get banned. I figure with my high call volume already if I started profiling like 100 people a day and out of that 100, 60 people called back; I am sure they would have a problem with that. Brring in my plans is for the very short term. I have gotten paid on 5 accounts and 5 more checks in the mail. My earnings are over $1,000 currently and I have already been paid $485.25 to date. Even if I got banned tomorrow and those other 5 checks never came That $485.25 was more than worth it, I have probably spent about 7 hours of time to earn that, which includes the first 2 hours that I spent setting up the method and writing all of the ad copy, working out the kinks, etc., etc..
So I suggest putting as little time into this as possible and try and automate the process as much as possible.

I reccomend spending no more than 20 minutes a day on this. Because if you spend more, say a few hours a day and have several hundred in earnings and get banned, you will be pissed! Please think of this as very short term, beaause when brring finds out they probably will limit payouts and change a bunch of stuff so be careful.

Wishful thinking

:
I am sure if the sky was the limit and there was no fear of getting banned. I would be able to blast these numbers out to every classifed ad site and forum at about 100 ads per day per line.

I could easily get over 1000 calls per day per line. Figure 10,000 calls per day. If I spent all day and profiled even 1,000 people per day and 20% called back you would be rolling in dough.

Figure:
10,000 calls per day x .$05= 500 per day

1,000 profiled x 20%= 200 x $.50 = $100

Total = $600 per day. With 4-5 hours work, not bad?

You Wish! lol

Another thing....even without profiling them, if they call a second time within a couple of days, that's $1. Brring can also be phone-phreaked a bit as it will pick up any number you program into a phone as being THE number, so you can spoof phone numbers of people who have called you and get that second call back from them. Look around the net and you'll find some sites that let you input any phone number and call another number you input. The TV series Nip and Tuck is one such website. This is a purely manual method obviously.

I don't think this can be scaled upwards too much or Brring will simply not pay you. I have access to a VOIP phone system and could do all kinds of number-spoofing and hundreds of Brring accts, but somebody has to get a check from them and unless they are really not paying attention, they'll figure out that John Smith and some DBA's and his family members are all really the same dude. I think the only way to scale it would be enlisting the help of others and giving them a cut of the check they get from Brring. Of course, they might just keep it all and say FU, too

I've been averaging $100 to $150 a day using a not so slick, but automated method. I'll let you know if I get banned or not. lol

Don't expect to be paid right away, word I got from the help desk is that checks are made out 20 days after the request, so they are NET 20. Be aware so you don't check your mailbox everyday.

its been 1.5 weeks and i havent gotten my check yet

1.5 weeks is ~10 days, they confirmed by email is takes 20 days for checks to be sent out. Just wait, people have been paid. Just feel fortunate it's not 20 days from the end of the last month.

Couldn't find a phone booth that would let me send touch tones. Going to try using a DTMF application on my phone and try that tonight.

That's the same problem that I had. I Made a Whitebox system (Old Phreaking Technique) and took it to the payphones with me. If you have a laptop, you can download a DTMF Dialer (usually a small .exe file - I have one, if you need it, it is attatched) and it still works.

Registered 14 accounts in less than 30 minutes, of course, all of my payphones were within a 5 mile radius.

Another words a way to automate the spoofing of who is actually calling me? and can you layout the process

you could have a recorded message call all those numbers with a message saying something that may interest them and for them to get back to you at your bring #. maybe tell them your giving away something for free, or something. or they won something?
