1. What is the point?
The idea here is to generate clicks to your website. In turn we hope these clicks turn into sales/leads/etc. The site is divided into a table of 3,000 20x20 squares. Each square costs $350 every 6 months (first purchase of any AD spot will be good for 1 year). You may rent as many squares as you would like. You can request them to be kept together or separated. Clicks are generated through our raffle program. Because, for each click to each advertiser the user gets 1 entry into our drawings. Read further for more information.
2. What is the plan?
The plan is to generate enough advertising revenue that I can consider this my job to support my family, as well as pay off all my debt. I want this site to grow and exist for many years to come. As we get more advertisers, we will give bigger and better prizes. Also, we plan to offer multiple prizes or hold the drawings over shorter time periods to keep people coming back.
3. Who are you?
My name is Gregory Mueller of Greensboro, North Carolina. I know right now this seems like a random webpage, but it is not. I currently run a site called Freedom RF. You can find it here: http://www.freedomrf.com. I wanted to come up with a different idea that involves anyone and everyone in the entire world. This idea also is hopefully a means to pay off all of the debt my wife and I have accumulated from school. Please read more about our story here. This webpage is completely legit and even if my co-owner of Freedom RF and myself must pay for the first few prizes out of pocket, we will make it work.
Feel free to add me on Facebook, or visit my Freedom RF site. You can email me through that site (contact@freedomrf.com) and I will verify I am the owner of both sites. If you still aren't convinced, feel free to email me about some other means of verification and I will get it done.
4. Is this for real?
This is absolutely for real. I wanted to figure out a way to generate the most clicks for advertisers. What better way to do this than an absolutely FREE raffle. There is no catch to the visitors. We will offer many great prizes that will keep people coming to our site. We are starting with an iPod Touch, a very popular item. We eventually want to move up to Big Screen TV's, Laptops, Desktops, etc.
5. How does it help us, if people just want to win the prize?
Think about it for a minute. People make impulse purchases and decisions. But this opportunity is even better. Not only will the person click your ad once, but they will want to click it MANY times to get more entries. So they will be seeing your page over and over again.
Let's use an example:
Joe Smith is entering raffle clicks drawings on a regular basis, he clicks on a computer part store's site in January, but nothing interests him. In April, Joe's hard drive crashes and is no longer any good. He is still entering the raffle clicks drawings and comes across the computer part store's site again. This time he decides to purchase a hard drive.
People are going to see your site more than once and remember it.
6. How does it help us, if people can get entries with every ad?
Now this is where I make it even better. Users get 1 entry every 6 hours for EACH site they click. So they can click all the ads in the same 24 hour period and get an entry for each one. Now comes the main point. Before we pick an actual winner, we draw a number to pick the ADVERTISER that the winner will be picked from, so first we draw a "site" or "ad". After we have the site/ad picked, we then do the raffle based on all the entries that were earned with clicks on that site. So ideally, each user will want to have at least 1 click/entry on every ad each month. They have the potential to have up to about 120 entries on each site each month, which would mean that person would see your site 120 times in one month. This generates clicks among all ADs on the site.
7. How does it help us, if they just enter their email and ignore the ad?
Here is another feature of the site. When they click an ad, it will pop up a new window with 2 frames (1 for the entry, 1 for your ad). The entry will be at the BOTTOM of the page and the submit button will not even allow them to press it for 10 seconds. This gives them time to view your AD.
8. Why should I invest in Raffle Clicks advertising?
Do the math yourself. If you were lucky enough to get clicks to your site for even $.05 per click through another method, you would get 7,000 clicks for $350. And, that is only semi-targeted hits since there is no perfect system to get the perfect clicks. You are only paying $350 here for 1 year(for the first year, then every six months), that's it. And you will get SO MANY more clicks from us as time goes on. Freedom RF already generates 8,000,000+ clicks a month through its pages. My users there have absolutely no reason to not click on your site. It is absolutely free to them to enter the drawings. Our first months prize is a FREE IPOD TOUCH. Who doesn't want that. This is how you will get clicks. People remember things they see over and over again, and they will see your site over and over.
Please check out our traffic over at freedomrf.com, keep in mind raffleclicks will be plastered all over my site as well as facebook and twitter pages of my users to generate the starting traffic for RaffleClicks:
9. What will you do with the money?
First and foremost, 15-25% of all revenue will go toward the prizes. We plan to give away a TON of stuff and also give away some GREAT stuff. Also, we plan to donate 5% of our profit to charity. For our first month (ending with the March 1st, 2010 Drawing), we will be donating 5% of all profit to some form of Haiti relief such as the Red Cross.
10. How long will this site live?
I will keep the site itself intact for a guaranteed 5 years, for history purposes. The raffle itself all depends on the success of the site and how many advertisers we get. I plan to continue this site until I deem it time for me to retire which is when I will pass it on to someone else. If all AD spots are rented the site will bring in over $1,000,000 the first year, and upwards of $2,000,000 each year after that. If an advertiser does not want to continue with their advertisement after one year, it will be put back up for sale. As long as the site is getting support, the raffle will continue and will get better. If all advertisement blocks are sold before the 1 year period, money will already be set aside from revenue for the prizes.
11. What about other advertising methods?
This idea is completely unique. We are not paying people for clicks, we are not putting your AD on some random site that will never be seen. You will be exposed to people all over the world. This site will be built up to be in the top ranks of all webpage's. This is the future of advertising. All the other advertising options out there expose your site once or twice per person. People playing on RaffleClicks will see your site over and over. As I said earlier, they will remember you and what you offer. So, think twice before you sink all that money into those pay per click sites. This also is not another freeipods.com or a site like that where users have to pay for a trial or something and they go into the trial with a plan to cancel. This is not like running a banner on some webpage. Banners take up a small fraction of a page, where as our entries take up a small fraction of a page while your AD is shown in the majority of the page.
12. So what is the downside?
THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE! Users get to enter the raffle for free. It only takes 10-15 seconds of their time per entry, why wouldn't they want to enter? Why wouldn't the site get hits? There are no "buts", no offers to complete, nothing, just a simple raffle.
