Sure, but why spend the money when you can do it for free?

If you can still get paid from an "expired" phone number, I have an idea that could really blow this thing up!

I don't know, this has never happened to me. What is your idea?

So far the best way is to use pay phones. There are a few services that would work but you would have to pay. The only free method thus far is using pay phones.

Yes, but the only free way to do this on a mass scale is to use payphones

Sure, you can post a web site in Craigslist but for this method you will only get paid when people call the number.

Yes, if you have multiple accounts you will need several addresses.

This service is only in the U.S. go to Brring dot (com) to sign up.

Very nice. It is easy but all good things may come to an end. Please do not bank on this as your end all money making venture. Consider this a quick in quick out operation.

Very true, You could easily make $50 a day per account and not get banned.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not that I know of.

My son (14 yrs) could earn some good pocket money with this

So far Brring is only in the U.S. I am unaware of any system in the U.K. Hope you can find one.

So far Brring will only pay with Checks to U.S. Addresses.

Thats great.

Any one know of any UK companies that offer this type of thing?

can anybody confirm that they pay.....???

I can make good money with this with a very old BH method...

can anybody confirm that they pay.....???

Have anybody secieved a chech from brring.???

read the posts

Hey,

Is it true after the beta is done, they are not going to keep your account open?

With the pay phone idea, doesn't the pay phone actually ring? Let's say you get 5 pay phones near a bus stop where only 1 person gets on the bus. If that person hears the phones ringing everyday she's waiting, don't you think that person will let the city know?

Not the anti drug dealer phones, they do not ring in, so no worries there.

So far, making money with Brring has been very easy. Took half a day off work and ended up making more from home via CL. If you know what people want, the phone rings non-stop. Don't know if anybody mentioned this yet, but go get a phone number at Yahoo Voice. Costs $2.99 a month and your computer rings when you make money! Plus it accepts multiple calls at once. I literally have had 5 and 6 phone calls stacked on top of each others. Its been rather amusing actually.

This is just an idea, i'm not to sure if it would work because i'm not to familiar with skype...but, with the way everything sounds here ,is you have to call from different phonesm or have your friends call ect ect.... to earn money

Could you set Multiple skype accounts and call Briing or whatever using Skype services to call from your computer?


if not that, what if i bought 1000 Prepraid phones,and called the number? would i earn anything?...

Damn, if only this was available in the UK I can think of some pretty good ways to make a few extra £'s out of it

I am thinking about scaling up this little operation. If you can make a buck, you can make two right? And a founding principle of black hat is the ability to scale. I've got a dozen servers sitting in my office right now will very little going on. If there is anything worth reporting, I'll report back in a few days. (I'll take friday off and have a long weekend!)

this is cool i hope it still works

IS this still working for you guys?

I was going to use my cell phone for this GREAT Idea. Has anyone had any problems with high cell phone bills?? I know you don't get charged if people call you but do many callers leave messages? Or just don't check the messages?? But then again, does you voicemail need to remain clear? Or that has nothing to do with receiving the calls, right? And the second to last question (LOL), do they have to listen to the whole 10 second ad (as it states at brring's website)? I know 10 seconds is fast but I wasn't sure if people are just hanging up right away. Oh and couldn't you just have one of your BUMMY friends call the number a bunch of times or it has to be different phone numbers registering?? Sorry for all of the questions...This is my first time at this forum & I LOVE it. And Props to the person who brought this information foward, thank you!!!

I wish I lived in the US, I guess UK is out of the question!

what if everyone listed there brring number and we each called eachother once a day...isn't that $1.00 per call. or would that raise flags??

i requested a check about 15-20 days ago and have not received it. i dont know if this still works

Innovotive and interesting idea. But I am not able to figure out how it will work in Skype if you are outside the US.

Is this still working or is anybody getting paid?

Anyone wondering about Brring payments may want to read this statement made by Brring...

hxxp://brring.wordpress.com/2008/02/05/whats-up-with-payments/

hey guys, I tried the brring thing with craigslist a while back when this method was revealed. I made $128 and then requested it but they never paid. so I stopped.

That wordpress blog of theirs seems arrogant. I'd love to see someone get paid by this service, but its such a stupid idea I can't actually believe advertisers will stick with them.

Thats what BH is about - "short term money". We look to make quick cash while the cow is still giving milk. Once the cow is gone, look for another cow

They won't. I have called several numbers and most of the ads are for brring itself. Well, as of a few weeks ago. It seems they have last advertisers or the ones they have cut way back.

Strange. You'd think the more calls Brring got, the more money they'd make. Makes you wonder why their having problems paying people...

I think they're having problems paying people just because it's a small operation with probably a three man show that ended up exploding with traffic and sign ups.

Let's not forget that BHers like us took their system and then pimped it up and down the net for high volume That probably took a toll on their ability to keep up with payment requests let alone tracking accounts for fraud.

Everyone keeps saying that they're going to have low conversions because of all of us who are exploiting the system and end up out of business.

I disagree

After all these are REAL calls. Just because I may make a couple hundred bucks a day and some college kid may make 15cents, his calls are no more targeted than yours or mine, they are still people listening to ads and I imagine the cost of the ad is very cheap.

Adwords, Adsense, Free411 all cost advertisers millions of dollars a day, most of which does not convert, and yet they are still going strong, in fact getting bigger everyday.

I think Brring has a real chance to stick it out if they can get more staff and more brand recognition. Advertisers are awful at what they do, they'll throw hundreds of thousands of dollars at anything.

I argue with all of you that our calls (most of them) are MORE targetted than the average Brring user. I think that when I target someone on a site like craigslist looking for an expensive apartment I'm:

A. Targetting a seasoned internet user which is what most of the ads I've heard target.

and

B. Someone with money to spend as opposed to other Brring users who have their broke friends calling them.

Hey Is this still working well for anyone I read from the first post good, than it seemed to sound as they arent paying. So any responses or updates would be good before I go diving into this anyway thanks.

It's pretty easy to get 300 calls a day no problem. i mean, your phone will blow up if you know how to generate calls.... Now with that being said, they have not sent me a check yet, so we'll see...

No its for long term money, you're just short sighted

The only problem is when you change your number.

ingenius idea,

going to put this into about every market on craigslist.

im hoping to clear 4 grand from this.

Anyone have an update on payments?

I finally teceived my firt check!!!!! Not only did I get my first one but I do not have to have my other lines checks sent to other addresses! I have 7 accounts and all checks are mailed here god I love being a salesman when it comes to beta owners! I look and sound like a king to them..lol but this is 1st check from the last line i opened and although they were stalled for a minute I think they may be catching up now. Either way my 7 lines continously are making over 300 a day!!!!

Not sure if anyone else knows but you can have more than 1 acct at your home address. Im getting paid and making lots daily checks are coming.

Yah I'm very curious if anyone has gotten paid or if this is still workin.

I'm interested if people are getting paid also.

well it looks like someone received a check finally

I gotta say MERLINA, if you're making over $300 a day with Brring you have my respect. I thought I was a money making genius, but it takes 2000 calls to make $100 a day so your basically getting 6000 calls a day?

You mentioned being a salesman so I'm guessing you presented a case to them about generating a lot of calls for them and how that's a good thing?

I said that a call is a call no matter where it comes from and that by using marketing methods to get calls, you're sending many more qualified prospects than some college kids broke friends calling everyday.

6000 calls just seems like a lot, I'm not sure I could generate that...well I probably could but it would take me all day to do and I don't get out of bed for less than a grand. You must have figured out a way to autopilot it somehow. Congrats

7 lines $300 a day??? Somebody please

$2100 a week 1 line

7*2100=$14700

So you saying your making $14,700 a week form this??

Does anyone want to throw in any other call producing ideas? Like Nevarc said you need 2000 calls to make $100.00 a day. This is at an average of $.05 each call. That is some serious Craiglist posting. There has to be a better way.

Merlina would you like to bless us with some better ideas?

I've been waiting well over 40 days and still have not been paid once. i've requested several checks.

I quit before I got too far ahead, with all the 'great' reviews here. If there is anything there at the end of march I may try to get it, otherwise I will just forget it.

haha

I got celebrity status on 'bwwing'

After posting with the id 'fuckbrring'(which was erased) and telling them they better get their lawyer gnomes doing whatever the hell their stupid gnomes do...

they decided to make a post calling anyone that wants their earned money 'bad apples'

Screw brring, its stupid companies like this that think internet marketers come second hand that fall off a cliff and die. They think we're just goofing around here and we're all teenagers given this to our friends to call? think again bwwing.
