What is UtopiAD?
Why should I become a
member of the UtopiAD community?
We Pay You! We pay you
to use our PayWare products.
UtopiAD members are paid a percentage of our advertising revenue. Other companies pay
their members a flat fee, and when the company makes more money the users get paid the
same amount. This is typical of corporate structures of yester-year.
We do not pay a flat fee, we pay a percentage of the revenue that we receive for
advertisements. Therefore, UtopiAD members reap the rewards that our innovative technology
provides. The better our technology can target advertisements to members, thereby
generating a higher cost to advertisers, the more money UtopiAD members receive. We do not
benefit unless our members benefit.
We believe in always looking to the future, how we can create more opportunities for
ourselves and our members. We strongly believe in innovation and research and development,
and a strong emphasis is placed on intellectual property. Currently we have multiple
patents pending. Our belief in strong intellectual property protection and constant
innovation keeps us at the forefront of new innovation.
Not only do we feel a sense of community with our members but we believe in strong
activism as well. Advertisement space has been set aside for non-profit organizations and
other worthy causes.
How do I become a
Member of the UtopiAD community?
The process of becoming a member is
simple. You sign up as a member. You then choose a Login ID, and receive an
Identification Number (ID) used when referring others. You then use your Login ID to log
into the website and the PayWare products you choose to use. Members identities are always
kept anonymous, the name and address of the members is only kept so we may send you
payment.
How much money will
I be able to make?
40% of the
revenue from the Advertisements you view
PLUS
A Generous Referral Program!
We share a percentage of advertising revenue with our members. As a member you receive 40%
of the revenue generated from the PayWare products you use. If you refer somone you
receive 10% of the revenue that person generates, 5% for their referral, 2% for their
referral, and finally 1% for their referral.
Will it cost me
anything? Any embedded, hidden, secret, tricky costs involved?
Nope, it costs nothing to join, and it
costs nothing to use our products. Our service is free, and our products are free.
How will I get paid?
You will be paid quarterly, which is 4
times a year (or once every 3 months). Currently, we pay as follows:
 | December, based on earnings for September, October and November.
|
 | March, based on earnings for December, January and February.
|
 | June, based on earnings for March, April and May.
|
 | September, based on earnings for June, July and August.
|
A check will be sent to you if your account exceeds $20. Unpaid amounts are
automatically carried forward to the next quarter. You are able to check your account
balance when you log in.
Is there an age
requirement?
There is no age requirement to use any
of our products.
Do I have to have a
web-site to join?
Simply put, No. You do not need to have
a website to join.
Are international
members welcome?
You bet! why not? We welcome everyone.
You may sign up to become a member and also choose PayWare products. Since currently we
are only making payments to U.S. members, International members are being credited, but
just not yet paid. Additionally, International members with referrals from the U.S. will
still continue to receive the credit for all referral generated revenue. So even though
you have not received a check, you will continue to see your balance increase on your
member home page.
How can I refer
others?
You may simply pass out your ID number
to your friends and family. When someone registers and uses your ID number you are
credited with a referral. You may also send out
a link to our website with your ID number embedded in it, such as:
http://www.utopiad.com/member/getPaid?refId=xxxxx
 |
Where xxxxx is your ID number. But remember, we do not tolerate spam so be sure to read
our Anti-Spam
Policy and our Member Referral Agreement.
For those with websites, you may utilize our banners, graphics, and links to advertise the
UtopiAD community and various PayWare products, then when someone clicks through from your
site and registers, you will be credited with a referral. Please read our Webmaster Referral
Agreement.
|
Will I be able to
view the people I referred?
You may only view the ID numbers of the
people you refer. We cannot give out individual names, due to our Privacy Policy all
members are kept anonymous. However, with ID's you will be able to confirm with friends
that you were in fact credited when they signed up.
How will I know how
many people I have referred?
You will be able to view the ID's of
those who have registered and used your ID. This information is available when you log in.
We do not give out members names or addresses. If you would like to verify that a friend
you referred used your ID when they registered, please compare the ID's we list as
referrals for you with the ID of your friend.
How will I know
how much money I have earned?
You may view how much money you have
earned when you log in and choose to view your account statistics. Your account shows the
total amount of money you have earned. We currently do not break down the amount of money
earned from each PayWare product. The amount shown is a total of all the money you may
have earned from all of the PayWare products.
How do I choose
which PayWare products I wish to use?
When you log in you will be able to
choose which PayWare products you wish to use. Products will be added as they become
available.
What if I want to
quit?
Simply Log In
and select the "Cancel Membership" link.
What if I cannot
remember my password or ID?
If you forgot your password, on the
main page you may choose the "Password" link. Enter either your ID or email
address. The question you supplied will be asked and if you answer it correctly your
password will be emailed to you.
If you forgot your ID, on the main page you may choose the "ID" link. You will
be prompted for your email address, and your ID will be emailed to your account.
What is UtopiAD?

products. To use one, or all, of our PayWare products you need to join as a member of our
