Disclaimer: APennyForThought.com is currently in the BETA testing period with most of the features available. The Penny-to-Cash conversion described below in the Penny Award System will only become an active feature after the completion of the BETA testing period. However you may still continue to accumulate your Pennies during the BETA period and convert them later.

How does apennyforthought.com work?

"apennyforthought.com" rewards you for contributing your thoughts and ideas!

How does it work?

We allow you to earn half of the ad revenue your thought generates on our site; you can't get much fairer than that!
But there are some rules to our site to ensure that only quality thoughts earn revenue. The quality of the thought is crucial.

We have an award system based on virtual pennies.

You receive pennies from other people viewing your thought (from their clicks and votes). This is our indicator if your contribution is good or not so good.

The better or more inspiring your thought is to other members, the more pennies you will earn! Your pennies will then be transferable to cash value at the end of each month.  You will have an account that keeps tabs on how much money you have made.

The money your thoughts have made can be transferred via paypal. Only amounts over $US10 can be withdrawn. The amount accumulated in one month can only be withdrawn 2 months later (this is to guard us against fraud).

What is the penny award system  and how do I earn money?

For posting a thought we give you 100 pennies.

You receive 1 Penny for every person reading your thought.

A member of the site can rate your thought between 1 to 10 (you will receive 1 to 10 pennies extra)

At the end of each month we calculate the total advertising revenue we have collected for the site. 50% of the revenue is then distributed amongst all members based on a penny weight calculation. Members who have earned the most pennies will receive higher payouts.

However you will only qualify to receive cash payouts on your thoughts that have reached a minimum of 200 pennies first. This is to ensure that only members who post good thought get paid.

Your pennies will automatically be converted to cash value at the end of each month based on the amount of pennies earned in that month.

Your thoughts will still continue to earn pennies with the the total displayed for you.

What can you do to promote a thought?

You can promote your thought when you create it! This means that you can pick which people you want to send your thought to and these people will receive a mail in their mailbox.
For every time you promote your thought to a group of people it will cost you 10 pennies, so you can only promote your site 10 times upon creation of your thought.
