Re: Is BoyFrindBucks late paying or am I just crazy?
There has always been something amiss. People will NEVER learn…
You know, with so many honest programs out there such as IntenseCash, MyGayCash, Stunner, zbuckz etc., I just don’t get why people still insist on promoting this company. I guess so many people are after the quick buck they think that they will make, even if they get screwed time and time again (and these kinds of threads have been going on for YEARS with this company). I think they are probably laughing all the way to the bank at the ‘idiot Webmasters’ that fall for the same thing over and over again. But anyways, for those of you who are lucky enough to get paid by the Media Revenue Lottery, I sure hope you have a back up plan in place, because history shows the odds are stacked against you.

And I push every single one of them. As do most webmasters I know.
I just don’t get why people still insist on promoting this company.
Because none of you convert anywhere near Boyfriend Bucks territory. As an affiliate, two things matter to me… conversions and payments. They paid me in excess of 30k last year like clockwork with ratios that I have not seen since 2000. That’s why. But then again, I am just another “idiot webmaster”, what do I know?

I’m sorry, but it is just very tiring to read these same threads about them not paying every other month, and then there are always 1 or 2 webmasters that chime in and say how they make so much money so it somehow makes it ‘okay’ for all the webmasters and surfers they’ve ripped off. If things are going well with you promoting them, that’s great for you, all I am doing is trying to help by telling you to be careful and don’t keep all your eggs in such a volatile basket.
‘idiot Webmasters’
I kindly request that you please don’t take my quotes out of context again. It is very obvious what I wrote was a joke, based on what this company might be saying behind the scenes as they pick which webmasters to pay, and which ones not to pay. I’m happy for you that you are doing so well with them and lucky enough to still be getting paid when many others say they aren’t. However, it doesn’t explain the hundreds of reports of surfers credit cards getting banged, and the many webmasters reporting they haven’t been paid.
Re: Is BoyFrindBucks late paying or am I just crazy?
I’m tired of other sponsors jumping in these threads and bashing Boyfriend Bucks. It’s not classy and it doesn’t inspire me to want to fire up Wordpress and starting writing posts for them. Regardless of how you feel about them, I think sponsors should just stay out of these threads. You wouldn’t like it if other program owners jumped into threads about you.
I know there are issues with Boyfriend Bucks, I’m not denying that. But I also can’t deny that this program converts better than just about anything else I promote. And all I do is put up banners. I rarely do a post for this program.
I’m also working my ass off to find some other sponsors who convert like this program does. I’ve been in this business too long to think that programs don’t just close up shop one day and disappear. I don’t like being too dependent on any one program for too much of my income, doesn’t matter who they are. But like I’ve said, I’ve yet to find any of program out there that converts this well.
Furthermore, what’s worse: a sponsor who is having payment issues or a sponsor who lies about conversion rates or fires off a “best day ever” post any time there’s a “how are your sales?” thread? Or sponsors who suddenly delete a $1.00 trial option from your account without telling you? Or sponsors who do any of the number of things that they do. We’ve seen it all. I’m not accusing anyone in this thread, I’m just saying that many sponsors come with baggage.
I’m in full agreement with Calabrese, I just can’t ignore the conversion rates I get with this program.
But like many who have chimed in this thread, I was also behind in some payments because I opt for cheques. However, when I talked to Tam about it on Friday she asked if I could do a Paxum or a wire so they could get caught up. Since my Paxum card is in the mail, I opted for a wire. Not my first choice, but I wanted to get paid. She put in the request for the wire on Friday, it was in my account Tuesday morning, which was fantastic considering it was a holiday weekend here in Canada.
To update everybody on my BoyfriendBucks situation, I e-mailed another media revenue “payouts dept” e-mail address and they did in fact send a wire payment and it was received in my checking account quickly.
They have settled all outstanding payments that were due to me. I do not believe they charged me a wire fee for this specific transaction. Better late then never.
Re: Is BoyFrindBucks late paying or am I just crazy?
I’m closing this thread now, there is no point continuing this discussion. There have been more than enough threads and complaints about Boyfriend Bucks as it is, any further discussions isn’t going to lead anywhere other than creating drama and disagreement. We can safely say that everyone is now aware about the possible risks in promoting them or that there are (or have been) some problems.
