Social Media Shares
« on: September 21, 2016, 06:19:57 am »
Has anyone else noticed that more and more videos require social media sharing to complete the offer?  It appears to be the wave of the future!  I am reluctant to do that, as I don't want to bombard my friends with advertising messages.  My hope is that enough videos remain that do not have that requirement, but it does make me nervous.  Videos are the way I earn $ here and it is frustrating that there are so many I can't do!

One of the ways to share via "social media" is to email the link to someone. I have a friend who doesn't mind the occasional spam thrown his way, so I send it to him and get my credit every time.

I also email the link to myself. Also only share via Facebook with myself, then put it back to public after I'm done. Made 12 cents now today that way.

I always watch the video's... get miffed when it asks me to share and cross my fingers a hyper mx video pops up.  Now that I know some of the tricks in sharing I may have to start doing them again.  I'm on board with you guys... I don't like to flood my friends with spam either.

I've been emailing them to my husband.  Occasionally, if I like the video/quiz/slide show, I will share it on Twitter, but I'm with kjstrukel about sharing on Facebook.  My friends wouldn't know what to think!

Thanks for the tips about emailing the link -- I have an alternate email address, so I'll try emailing to myself!

Yes I have noticed that as well.  I, too, am not crazy about the idea of all the sharing. Today I was able to complete 5 Hprmx just in case I don't complete any surveys.

At least I can do my ptc tomorrow.

I share on Facebook with "only me" and get credit.  i didn't think about emailing to someone. Some of the questionaires are educational and/or are fun and some of my friends would like them.

I would ask them first if they would mind receiving something like this.

thanks for the tip!!  I didnt realize you could email.  I just bypass all the ones that say share because I am not messing with doing that on facebook.

I have noticed the 'social media sharing' step becoming common to most of the 4 cent quizzes lately.  I have been getting credit anyway.  I've never bothered with that step, but the tip here appears to work.
