How does StudioTraffic work?
There are a few terms that you need to know. Firstly, all accounts have an account
level. When you first sign up, you are given a $10 account level. Every time you
complete your surfing requirement (more on this is coming), you earn 1% of your
account level. That money that you earn is your account earnings.
Let's say you have a $10 account level, which you probably have right now. If you
complete your surfing requirements for today, you will earn $10 x 1% = $0.10. So, you
would have $0.10 in earnings.
While you have a $10 account level, you must surf a minimum of 200 websites in
order to earn 1% of your account level. That is, for your $10 account level, your
surfing requirement is 200 websites.
Different people have different surfing requirements, depending on their account level:
•
Account level of $10 (the "free" account level) must surf 200 sites a day.•
Account level of $20 - $490 must surf 100 sites a day.•
Account level of $500 - $990 must surf 70 sites a day.•
Account level of $1,000 or more must surf 50 sites a day.
How do I autosurf?
Click the "Surf STV" link in the menu on the left side of the "Members Area" page. A
new window will open and you will begin autosurfing automatically! The top frame will
show your username, how many websites you have surfed for the day, etc. The
bottom frame will show you a website being advertised. Surf STV will display a new
website automatically every 20 seconds -- hence the term "autosurfing". There are no
buttons to push, so you can sit back and relax!
What is Upgrading?
You can keep earning 1% of $10, but some people want to earn money more quickly.
Thus, they choose to upgrade their account. Upgrading involves putting in more
money from your pocket to increase your account level.
Let's say that you want to increase your account level to $1,000. You would thus put in
$990, which will be added to your $10 account level, giving you a $1,000 account level.
You would then be making $1,000 x 1% = $10 every day you complete your surfing
requirements and $300 every month.
When you upgrade your account level to whatever it might be, don't forget that your
surfing requirement may also change!
So, in the above example where you upgraded your account level to $1,000, you
would only need to surf 50 websites (instead of 200) in order to earn 1% of your
account level.
How do I upgrade my account?
Click the "Upgrade Account" link in the menu and you will be taken to the appropriate
page. The first thing you will notice are "Your Payment Gateway Accounts". Select
the appropriate gateway/payment processor and fill in your processor's account
ID/email address. This information is necessary for StudioTraffic to verify your
account information when you upgrade or when you withdraw your earnings.
Next, scroll down, and in the box next to "Increase Account Level by", enter the
amount with which you want to upgrade. Then select the payment processor with
which you want to upgrade. If you wish to upgrade by a payment processor that is not
listed, such as PayPal (not available until further notice 7/26/05), click on the "Submit a
Ticket" link in the menu and ask for assistance.
Withdrawing Your Earnings:
At the first of every month, your earnings for the month will be added to your account
balance. You may then take the money in your account balance and use some or all of
it to upgrade your account, or you may decide to withdraw some or all of it.
To withdraw your money, click on the "Withdraw Money" link in the menu, and fill in
the appropriate information. In order to withdraw your money you need to have an
account level of at least $100 and an account balance of $5 or more.
What Are Credits?
You will notice that when you are surfing, you will get something called credits. Credits,
sometimes called hits by users, allow surfers to view your website, should you choose
to include it in the rotation of websites.
Let's say that you have just finished your surfing and you have 200 credits. And let's
say that you want surfers to see your website. You may add your website to the
rotation, and because you have 200 credits, your site can receive up to 200 hits. As
you can see, if you want your website to continually gain exposure, you yourself will
need to continue to surf and earn credits.
At the $10 account level, every website that you surf will earn you 0.5 credits.
Upgrading your level to any higher amount will increase the number of credits you earn
per website that you surf to 1.0 credit.
What is Compounding?
Finally, you may have noticed something called compounding. If you choose to
compound your earnings, at the end of the specified month (either 1 month later, 3
months later, 6 months later, or 9 months later), all of the money in your account
earnings will automatically be used to upgrade your account.
I personally do not recommend compounding your earnings at the moment, for if you
choose to compound, you will not have access at the end of the month to your
earnings. However, this is a personal decision.
