Varolo Vision

I took this one right off the Varolo Blog, just to make sure I didn't miss something.



But here you go right from the CEO of Varolo

Everyone reading this is probably already a Varolo member and you have probably seen the vision of what Varolo can be.  Let me expound on that vision for a moment.  I would ask you to please read this entire letter.  It could make the difference between success and failure in Varolo for you.  It can make the difference between having your home mortgage paid for you or not.
For most it is difficult to make ends meet (especially in this economy) and any extra money you can make really helps.  See, to if you want to improve your financial situation you have to either cut back or make money…and let’s face it…most of us have cut back as far as we can.  But what are you going to do to make more money?  Get another job?  Those are pretty scarce with nearly a 10% unemployment rate.  Ask for boss for a raise?  Companies cutting wages of employees is what is happening.  And yet gas prices and nearly everything else keep going up?  How can we make ends meet?
This is why we developed Varolo.  We wanted to develop a method where people could have unlimited earning potential WITHOUT EVER SPENDING A DIME!  And we did it!  Billions are spent each year on advertising and if we create a platform that benefits advertisers while incenting and rewarding consumers, it will win!  But that takes you!  Varolo is based on a system where the more people participate, the more money everyone makes.  Why is that?
There are lots of advertisers out there and the more users there are in the system, the more advertisers want to use that system, which drive up competition, which drives up the ad prices. And because Varolo gives you a revenue share of those dollars, the more advertisers spend, the more money you make.
As of this writing we offer advertisers a low rate of 1 cent per ad view.  In other words for $100, they can have 10,000 targeted consumers watch an entire video ad, rate the ad, answer a survey question, and engage with the consumer with promotions, discounts, coupons, and even the ability to “buy now”.  1 cent/ad view is only our initial rate.  We know that the value Varolo offers is far greater than any other advertising method they could use.  So why are we the least expensive?  Because we want to attract lots and lots of advertisers which will increase the ad price.
Soon we will be announcing that the minimum ad price will be going up.  This will happen several times.  Each time the ad price goes up, you earn more money because you get a fixed revenue share on that ad view.  So what do you think the ad prices can go up to?  Well compare it to “pay per click” advertising on Google.  Most advertisers pay 50 cents to $50.00 per click.  Which do you think has more value?  A text based ad on the side of the screen or a full 30 second commercial with all the bells and whistles Varolo offers?
What you need to understand is that the money making examples we have listed are based on 1 cent ad view rates.  In our 2 minute tour video we give an example of inviting 10 people that invite 10 people that invite 10 people that invite 10 people.  If all of these users were watching 10 minutes of ads, you would earn $1,530/month.  That is true.  But what if the average ad price goes up to 3 cents?  Now you are making $4,590/month.  What if it goes up to 5 cents?  Now you are making $7,650/month.  What if it goes to 10 cents?  20 cents?  MORE?  Is that possible?  There are many people that thought that pay per click would never get beyond a penny.
Also, that example was based on only 4 degrees of separation.  We wanted everyone to make more money so we set it up to earn on a 5th degree of separation.  What if you have your 5th degree unlocked?  That same example of exponential growth of 10 with a 5th degree all watching 10 minutes of ads earns you over $7,700/month (at 1 cent/ad view).  Now these are really big numbers.  While there are many Varolo users that have signed up thousands of users directly, the average person is only going to sign up a few right?  So while there will be some who will make a killing at Varolo because they know how to market to the masses using the Internet, most will just invite a few friends.  So let’s be as realistic as we can be with a very conservative example.
Let’s say you just invite 4…or perhaps you invite more but only 4 are actively watching their ads. Each of them have 4 active users that have 4 that have 4 that have 4.  ANYONE CAN DO THIS.  At the lowest possible ad price of 1 cent, you would be earning $119.04/month.  Is that worth spending 10 minutes a day watching ads that are relevant to you and getting discounts and promotions on the things you are interested in?  Most people say yes!
But that is what you are going to make today.  What about as that advertiser competition begins to grow.  Does anyone doubt for a second that the ad price won’t quickly go to 5 cents/ad view?  Now without any more effort and just spending 10 minutes/day you are earning nearly $600.  That is a nice car payment, or groceries for a month, or all your utilities.  What if it goes to 10 cents?  Now that is a house payment for many.  All because everyone stayed engaged and active in the system.  See a Varolo community of 5,000 active users can be ignored by advertisers.  A Varolo community of 100,000, 250,000 or a million cannot be ignored by advertisers.  The more users that stay engaged in Varolo, the more value it has to advertisers, which means more money for everyone!
I think everyone knows that Varolo will be successful.  The speed of its success is up to you!  It is up to all of us.  If we all choose to dedicate our 10 minutes/day for the next 6 months to Varolo and invite just 1 person each day, amazing things will happen.  Don’t get discouraged with a small village today.  Don’t get discouraged if your earnings aren’t where you want them to be today.  Remember the vision.  If we all work together, we will be a force that advertisers will use as their primary advertising medium.  Varolo is not a sprint, it is a marathon but only takes 10 minutes a day.  Anyone and everyone can do it.
I know several advertisers that said that if they could micro target their exact audience, they would be willing to spend 25 cents, 50 cents and in some cases more than a dollar for each ad view.  Imagine having a village of a few hundred or a few thousand people that when they watch these ads you are earning a revenue share on it.  This is the power and vision of Varolo.
So my advice!  Watch your ads each day religiously!  Invite 1 person each day to Varolo.  If you want to get aggressive about marketing, there are lots of forums, blogs and other places where Varolo users give advice on what you can do to market.  Be creative!  Don’t worry about people that tell you it is “too good to be true” because eventually they will also catch the vision.  “Too good to be true” is said by those that think it is going to take no effort at all.  Varolo takes effort…but not much.  Just 10 minutes a day and invite 1 person a day and watch what happens.  Varolo is literally a “game changer” when it comes to online advertising but it requires all of us to work together.
You know how when you are driving and due to construction the lanes merge together and everyone begins moving over in a orderly manor…and then all of a sudden some jerk rides up the shoulder and cuts in at the last minute.  Varolo is not for that guy!  Varolo is for everyone who wants to work together to make life better for everyone.  By watching your ads and inviting 1 person a day, you will make the difference and you will see that Varolo will be something that can pay a bill, pay a car payment, pay a home mortgage, or more!  But it is up to you!  Don’t get discouraged.  Stay with it while we drive the ad price up and more people to Varolo.
This is an extremely exciting time and by working together, everyone wins! Remember, we are all in this together!

Ad Prices goin up!!! Already!!!

Varolo would like to announce that due to the success of Varolo (even prior to our official launch April 17th) we have decided to increase the minimum ad price. Advertisers are finding that using Varolo is far superior to other advertising platforms. With a 3 to 12 times higher click through rate, instant rating and survey feedback, and the ability to interact with the consumer with discounts, promotions, coupons and even commerce links it shouldn’t surprise you that Varolo is increasing their “floor price” for ads.
Therefore beginning May 1, 2011 Varolo will increase the minimum ad price to $0.02 (for a 30 second ad). This will effectively double the earnings for Varolo users. That being said, we are going to allow existing advertisers with running campaigns or those advertisers with existing contracts to continue at their existing rate for a period of time. This “grandfathering” of existing advertisers ensures we have full ad queues for everyone. However, the highest priced ads will be queued first ensuring maximum earnings for Varolo users. So the increase in earnings for Varolo users may no be evident immediately, but as more new advertisers use Varolo, the new higher ad price will dramatically impact users earnings. HINT: We will probably be increasing it again soon.
If you are a business owner or someone who has been considering using Varolo to advertise, the existing rate of $0.01 is available through the end of April and if you keep your campaign running, you can continue to have the low rate of $0.01/ad view.
With Varolo now reaching 75,000 users, we have decided to increase the commissions paid to Varolo users that are participating in the Associate program to earn a commission bonus on all advertisers they bring to Varolo. Anyone can be a Varolo Associate. Just follow the instructions on the “Marketing” menu. As always, being a Varolo associate is completely free. ASSOCIATE COMMISIONS WILL INCREASE TO 12% (THAT IS 4 TIMES THE REGULAR COMMISSION RATE) through April 30, 2011. Everyone seems to know someone that wants to promote their products or services and Varolo is the most effective way of doing that. If an advertiser uses your custom link to join Varolo between now and April 30, 2011, you will earn 12% on each and every ad they play in Varolo FOREVER.

The new Facebook App


Finally it is here!!! Well almost, there are some issues.  After all remember everyone we are still in Beta Testing. Which means things are not perfect(except me) and we need to iron out the kinks.

So I just copied the info from Varolo, but read it, go get the app, figure out what is wrong, write it down and maybe email Varolo later.



Well, we had some issues today with the roll out of the Varolo Facebook app. First, you should know that there are actually two separate applications we have created. The first in what we call Facebook integration where from the Varolo website you can post a message to your FB wall, post your earnings, jackpot entries, and a host of other things. It allows you to promote your village directly from Varolo to Facebook.
The other application is what we actually call the Varolo Faceook Application. This is where you can install your own fan page, install the Varolo app there, and it will sync with your FB page with whatever you want. It is designed to allow you to more easily promote Varolo right through Facebook. Many people get scared of links (where they might go, viruses, malware, etc.) So the Varolo FB app was designed to allow you to promote it right through Facebook, allow users to see the various videos without ever leaving FB, and even register right through your page.
Eventually we can even make it so people can use Varolo right in FB without having to login to Varolo. There are lots of additional features we can add as well.
HOWEVER, Facebook has created som challenges for us at the last minute. The first challenge is that they have blocked our ability to show video ads (the Varolo tour and compensation plan). They have not yet told us why this is. You can look at applications and sites for many other companies and they have videos (much longer and bigger), but for whatever reason ours have been blocked. We are attempting to figure out why this is. In the mean time, we created hyperlinks that would just go out to our site instead. Not idea, but works.
Then today right when we launched the app, Facebook shut down our users ability to sync their Varolo status with their Facebook pages. They gave us no reason for this. See, Facebook has what are known as “rate limits” on how much data can be sent to and from your application. They say this number will increase as needed but don’t give you any way to know what limits you will need. So we aren’t sure if it is a rate limit problem (because within minutes of us releasing the app, scores of people began installing it…even before we announced it was live) or if it is something else. One problem is that this all happened late Friday afternoon so we aren’t sure how quickly Facebook will get back to us. Once they do, we don’t know what it will take to get them to turn the app back on.
So we are a little stuck at the moment. Know we are working very hard to get this working as we believe it will be a great tool for many people to use to promote their village growth. In the mean time, we appreciate your patience as we work this out.

Varolo and Network Marketing



Got a video for you guys one of the Network Marketeers on my FB page had, but that's later.


Network Marketing.

What is it and how am I gonna use it to steal your money........ Seriously, that's what most people think when "Network Marketing" and "Home Based Business" is said in the same sentence.

Network Marketing in it simplest form is two or more people talking about a business; how to improve it, make it better or just talking about it. Yep you heard me, just talking about it is the main aspect of Networking. We do it everyday. Meeting up for coffee, lunch, drinks.....whatever. These are all aspects of Networking. Sometimes they they involve the same people; sometimes new people.

Network Marketing is the same.  A group of people getting together usually talking about business. There are a lot of breakfast Network Marketing groups. They meet and mention their business, how it is doing,what is it about and so forth. Sometimes they talk about a specific business.... Avon, Pampered Chef, Bellamora, Varolo....ect.

Yep, I mention Varolo, cuz if you read this blog there is a good chance we have discussed Varolo and since we did that we were essentially Network Marketing. If you leave this Blog and talk to someone else about Varolo you  are Networking Marketing.

Network Marketing like Varolo is not a piece of cake it takes time and patience. You may talk to 100ppl and only 3or 4 will take you up on your offer, BUT  those 3 or 4 will probably be as motivated as you. All it takes is a few like minded people to get together, promote a good money making concept to other like minded people and they will make out like gang busters.

If you think you can make money with Varolo by not talking to friends and family and just inviting random people,You will have a tough time here. Believe it or not friends and family will be the best recruiters and supporters you have.

How hard would YOU try for someone you don't know or probably will never meet??? How hard would you try for your best friend or favorite nephew???

Varolo is free to join and use. No matter how much we talk about I can't steal any of your money, just your time and actually I mention Varolo once or twice to someone if they are not interested  screw 'em. I got more important things to do with my time.

Anyways, here's the video


Hey, where's my wallet???
