This programme is great, and i can't believe I've made £*K in a month! I've heard some people are making as much as £40,000????
Wow!
Time to give up the day job huh?

Very fast efficient payout too guys, thanks!
Just one thing would improve the programme,

When people choose a ringtone etc, the "Single Purchase" link just isn't clear enough, it should really be placed under the "Get this tone in the clubs now" button.

A lot of visitors are complaining that they have had all their credit taken on pay as you go phones,
(I don't think they realise they are to be billed weekly for the clubs)

Or maybe place the "How to unsubscribe" info a bit more clearer


Ps:
Love the new interactive banners through TD ,
When will this white label site thingy become available?

I've just made a basic page for now for all things "crazy & sweet"

I always thought you only earnt if they joined 'the club', either on purpose or by accident. That's what has always put me off promoting them.

If thats not the case I might give them a try.

Hi Rich,

When I signed up it wasn't "That clear",
it just said if a customer buys ONE Ringtone/logo then u get £2.75
If the same person buys more than one
(I guess this could be the club signup) then you get £3.50,

So i guess you do earn on single sales.

I totally understand it's more money for everyone concerned that's earning through it, but when i first made a purchase through them you "automatically" click the "Big button" before you know what you've done.

I just think there should be 2 buttons alongside each other stating clearly
"Join The Clubs Now To Save Money"
and another one saying "Buy this tone only"

I can't see any mention of what the £2.50 commission bands were for on their page on TD, it just says "You will earn a minimum payout of £2.75 per sale" and I assumed they wouldn't class the free ringtone as a sale.

Hopefully Matt will clarify it soon.

This almost sounds like an advert to join the Jamster affiliate program and make easy money.

It can get a bit confusing, expecially since they went pre payment but didn't but could be. Instead of keeping an eye on two payments, last month and this month, you're now looking at four, last month, this month, unpaid and pending.

Last month's due invoice earned the month before that is gauranteed this month, this month is gauranteed in two months but may fall into this month but doesn't always.... Unpaid may tick through to create another payment this month, due next month but may fall into this month, and pending is on a 14 day release so you should - but they're currently two days behind - you should get it next month and definately not this month. But it can still trickle down from pending to unpaid before the next due payment, of which two look outstanding, one will be paid, the other will stall until next month.

Simple aint it... but white label isn't pending it's confirmed straight away, so it's a seperate program and will be on a two month lag, if white label was to go pre payment but in a stage like this one, two months down the line you could have to watch eight payments, but at least two pairs will do the same thing.

Meanwhile I'm glad Jamster finished doing the pending for the day and moving a payment up because I finally did a sale when they stopped all that. Oooo conspiracy theories, no I'm just having another bad day.

If the above didn't make sense.... well it should, because that's the routine.

Cheers Lee - well I'm glad that's cleared that up

[Rich]

Sounds like whether you get paid for a free ringtone would be the least of my worries!

Ahh, right!!!

Come on TD and/or Jamster!
Explain this pending/prepayment stuff.
Nobody gets it ... I certainly don't and I'm not often accused of being dumb.
I'm sure someone will speak up if they understand it!

[Lee_Owen]

Don't get me wrong Rich, after all that, they still pay on time every month!

It's just Jamster seem to be stuck in a twilight zone enforced by TD at the moment and the balance sheet isn't exactly easy to figure out. 'cause to figure out what you're actually being paid for and what's late or early, aint easy. Especially now there's four payments + white label floating about.

Well a detailed 'where everything goes when it does' explanation would be nice, I now have money from last month still pending but we still get our dues two months in arrears. But now it works out we receive half of the month (that which is now pending), three months later.

It isn't going to be easy, but I'll try and track these payments and see where they end up. Someone's doing this silly stuff on purpose. Even international Jamster/Jamba have been poor sorting out their deleted sales and confirming on Zanox. I hope no other merchants are going to do this, it'll be a nightmare.

Jamster/Jamba only confirmed/denied 9 days of sales last month as well, on Zanox. And I'm still waiting for payment from February revenue, Zanox appear to have closed down for the last few weeks, ignoring my emails.

And just to prove it to myself:

- March revenue - sitting in TD as unpaid from 15/04 - 2 month lag still, due in May.
- April revenue - sitting in TD as unpaid, will be given early invoice but won't be paid until June, like past months, making a joke of TD's invoicing dates 'cause it doesn't help us nor them.
- May revenue so far - drops into pending.
- Then current pendings, a mixture of the last 18 days of April and the beginning of May, won't drop until 14 days after, invoice created on last day of month, come mid-June invoice won't be paid, so it will be paid in July. So unless TD sort themselves out and figure whether Jamster is pre payment or a stalled program, you're actually worse off now than before because half of a month's payment now gets paid three months later.

i.e. half of april now gets paid in mid-July.

Thanks Lee,

That helps, a little at least .

It's the prepayment stuff that does my head in.
Seems like Hutber's law is at work here.

Also, I understood that the date shown in the TD 'in payment period' report was the date the invoice was due for payment, not the date it was issued. Otherwise, why would there be invoices with dates after today?

Yet, last month, TD told us here that the Jamster invoice for 15/4 was not due until May.

So what does the date mean TD? Is it the date of issue or the date by which it should be paid?
If it's the latter, Jamster's 15/4 invoice should have been paid last month (but TD told us they were only chasing the March one).
