Let Ximmy Pay Your Rent This Month
Thu, Apr 3, 2008
I wish I could find a site like this every month.
This may the first of it’s kind… a social networking site willing to give up a few bucks.
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Man, I wish I had a quarter for everyone I referred to Digg…”?
Well, how about 2 quarters?
Given the pace that us SMers join the latest web 2 services, that could add up!
Ximmy is a new social networking service that offers both a fully functional affiliate program and rewards program which both pay real $$ via PayPal.
As a full-time social marketer, I spend a lot of time submitting posts, buzzing, voting, tweeting and, yes, shaking the cramps out of my mouse-hand.
It is about time someone put a decent social networking site together that shares its success with its core submitters.
Here’s a quick look at the programs..
Rewards Program
Affiliate Program
Why Not?
I just started using Ximmy to as a social marketing hub so I can’t tell you if it will be a big traffic source yet.
But, believe me, nothing gets marketers more excited than affiliate earnings, so I expect to see Ximmy leapfrog some of the other “me-too” Digg-style social networks and get some traction with the social media crowd.
So, I say why not…
I will keep you posted on how many I get to sign up… see you at Ximmy.com!

This sounds very tempting, we have had great success with http://www.biggitup.com but I can see how this would work too

@ igreenspot: I just signed up with Ximmy’s affiliate program last week so I have not checked to see if I have received $$ yet. if it is a scam, I’ll be sure to update this post though!
@ mitub: Take a look at the graphic above under Reward Program for an idea of the point conversion. You won’t get rich submitting and commenting but at .50 a pop, getting people to signup to a free service could pay your rent… (i.e. 2000 x .50 = $1000.)
