    Very cool program indeed, Josh. I just checked out their site and I must say that their program has a totally different twist from the others. I think it’s going to be very attractive to many people and thus bring them loads of members in return.

    Great program indeed :D .

    Good blog entry.

    What’s your take of the iPad?

    I couldn’t believe my lack of excitement this thing could have been insane instead they settled for a cheap device.

    Aw, this is a really great post. In theory I’d like to write like this also – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get anything done.

    The Apple iPad looks unbelievable. I will definitely be buying one. I am just not decided whether to get the wifi or the 3g and which size to get.

    What’s the deal with all these “I like your blog” comments?
    This post is one big advertisement for your REFERRAL link to mylikes. Ironic really when you write about disclosure being one of mylikes great features.

      Hey, what’s wrong with referral links? I’m just a student trying to pay for food. Nothing’s wrong with that, right?

        Oh I’m not saying theres a problem with referral links, it just irks me that it’s not disclosed and you don’t offer a direct link or even a normal referral link anywhere in the post instead opting to have all mentions of the site go through a redirect.

        Also the number of approved comments heavily praising your site that are clearly spam (see their urls) is misleading to a new visitor.

        That said I’m a student myself and you gotta do what you gotta do to put noodles on the table :P

          Sorry, I’ll make sure referral links are better disclosed next time. I don’t understand why I should use “normal” referral links though, it’s better cloaked as it simply looks tidier.

          Thanks, no idea how those got through the spam filter, I’ve removed some :)

    Hi. I signed up for MyLike but it says I have no active campaigns…I couldn’t find a beginners tutorial. How do I start? Can’t I earn if I’ve got no active campaigns? Thanks.

    this is a great info bro. thanks for sharing this information although I wanted to know if you just have to tweet the sponsored links from one twitter account or you can tweet on one account and also retweet it with your other accounts if they don’t allow more than one account.

      Yes you can. The link is exactly the same for every tweet for advertiser, so you can copy the link from one account to another and the clicks will still be counted.

    They don’t even have a phone number and they use Domain By Proxy to hide their information…very unprofessional. I don’t care if they did work with Google. They have no way for large corporations to contact them by phone. I wouldn’t spend a dime with this company. I don’t see any proof of who are really are! Just another company trying to capitalize off of YouTube Partners success. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Although I am using MyLikes, I’m still a bit skeptical about it, and also with what you’ve posted above, you said mylikes has a $2 payout which is absolutely negative to now, they only let you cash out when you reach $400 (you can check it), so how could you possibly do that? it even takes almost 2 days for them to verify the clicks that have made on the campaign you have liked.

    But on the contrary, this post was made on January 2010, and maybe a lot of things happened to Mylike.com system.

      Hi Raven, $2 is still the cash out amount for MyLikes. $400 isn’t the new payout amount. Quick quote from MyLikes’ website:

      “Any earnings more than $2 will be sent to your PayPal account once a week on Friday. If you have earned more than $400 on MyLikes, your payments could be withheld if you have not supplied us with your tax information.”

      Also, I agree with you that 2 days may seem a bit long, but 48 hours to verify clicks is the average time in the internet advertising industry.

    I strongly discourage anyone from signing up with MyLikes. Both myself and several other active, legitimate Twitter users have had our MyLikes accounts suspended with no reason — and after we had racked up a balance of $10-$50.

      So you got up to 50 in one week? Or did MyLikes not pay you for weeks and then suspended your account?

  26. Mylikes is a Scam
    May 28 2011

    Mylikes is a scam. Just like Jenn said, my account was suspended without warning for no reason. I had a balance of over $25 that was mostly. It took me a lot of effort to get my balance that high and I am not pleased at all to have that money stolen from me. I discourage anyone who may be considering joining MyLikes. I basically promoted their advertisements for free. Not cool at all.

      How long did it take for you to get up to 25? Less than one week right?

    mylikes suspended account with no good reason, a lot of suck advertiser that always give a false impression in order just to promote their product or site… that’s make your account suspended.

    They only suspend your account if you make a habit of clicking on your own links.

      No they don’t! They paid me every week for a while and suddenly without any reason suspended my account. I have never ever clicked on my own links and have no clue why my account was suspended. They claim to return the earnings to the advertisers, which we all know is a lie!

      Furthermore, I have tried to contact them every 4 days for weeks no and never got any response. Even Google communicates better!

      It’s very frustrating not to know why I cannot use their services anymore. Their terms and conditions are setup in a way that almost every Twitter account could be refused or suspended.

      Any suggestions how I can get more info?

    Jul 3 2011

    Yeah, this site is a scam. I made at least $50 worth of money in one week. They suspended my account. And what’s funny is, they didn’t even state why. They just had a whole list of Options assuming one of them was the reason why I had my account suspended when really none of them applied. HYPOCRITES. Almost everyone I know who uses/used MyLikes has made a large amount of money and right before they were about to be paid that amount(every Friday at Midnight) suddenly their account was suspended or their pay deducted. I also had so many people clicking my links, I had “Advertisers” taking away my pay out of no where. Just because they wanted to. I advise anyone to not use this site, they basically use people to advertise their products. And the only people they won’t mess with are Top Notch people like Celebrities and Bloggers with nearly a hundred thousand followers. One word. SCAM!

    Don’t bother with MyLikes.

    Most advertisers pay pennies even when MyLikes has your threshold set to say 70 cents a click.

    Even if you do end up magically earnings a few bucks advertisers have the ability to disapprove your ad at any any time and set your earnings back to $0.00

    I’ve been doing MyLikes for months now and while I don’t make much money, I do get paid every single week without fail. I’ve never had my ads rejected.
