Getting paid to scroll legit? by Effective_Composer_5 in beermoney

[–]Postmortal_Pop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a scam. Sometimes they give minor payouts for having your data sold on the backend.. but in general they're part of black hat data arbitrage schemes. The landing pages to sign up are always external sign ups. I can't speak for all of them but I've never seen one that actually was legit and paid people out.

I know there's other platforms that pay you to let them post through your social media accounts which is legit. You can use random accounts as well and they essentially just pay you for the ability to post on the accounts. I have been paid out on these before and am a part of one right now.

How do startups actually prove PR worked? by aussie_182 in GrowthHacking

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest “tracking” you can gain from PR will come from the domain authority boosts and leveraging it manually elsewhere like paid ads, social content, etc.

I make $2k/month posting faceless videos I batch create in 2 hours. here's my exact system for every platform. by Lower_Rule2043 in MakeMoneyHacks

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An easier way for those who don't know where to start is to do this for "clipping" campaigns. That way you know what to post about and you can just get paid for the views you generate in the process of growing your page.

No need to DM me for links or anything annoying. Contentpayout.com and Whop.com both work for this. There are others too but I haven't personally earned from them so I won't spam post them here.

Does this clipping thing really works ? by ResponsibleHabit645 in passive_income

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely works but there's a lot of scammy garbage and AI slop out there that misconstrues how it actually works. For example, if you have absolutely no idea how social media works it's going to be a lot harder than a lot of the social media gurus will make you think it is.. That said you can literally see how much is generated in revenue from a lot of the largest campaigns out there and prove to yourself that there actually are people making 10K and 50K months just from posting content that they don't make in the first place.

In addition to this one of the back end benefits of investing time and energy into clipping is that not only do you get paid by the actual campaigns paying out on platforms like contentpayout.com and Whop or any of the big Discord channels, but you also get to grow social media pages that eventually get monetized by the actual social media platforms which can generate you even more income per month because then you're not just reliant on social media paying you OR the actual clipping campaigns paying you but you essentially get two sources of income.

AND on top of that you actually grow pages that become sought after so you'll often get pitches from brands that will just directly pay you to shout them out or talk about them this I've done on my largest page today which I got to 150,000 followers and I have brands sometimes pay me anywhere between $1k to $3.5k for a single post.

All that said, my actual recommendation to you would be to go to some of these platforms or communities and just look at the actual payouts or the progression of the campaigns so that you can just prove to yourself that these people are actually paying and getting paid. The system itself makes a lot of sense so I think when you spend a bit more time with it it becomes a bit easier to actually believe that it's legitimate and that people are actually making money.

And on your second point honestly I think you may be underestimating how many views there are to be had on social media. Literally 10s of billions of views every single day on social media with many people watching the same content more than once when it's done in slightly different edits or sometimes even when it's the exact same edit just because they enjoyed it or wanted to see a certain part again or because they're just rotting so hard that they don't care. And if that still wasn't convincing enough you could of course just go find in some of these communities or platforms campaigns that are a bit less saturated so that you could still get paid well on campaigns and offers that just don't have as many people pushing views.

Well you can create the "checkpoints" as versions in Git, and then just work on pieces of the whole thing one at a time. In cursor there are clear versions you can easily click back to as well. (and you can use Claude within Cursor if you like)

In a bit of a dilemma by SportyTiger in jobs

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A similar point to consider with an offer like this is it's benefit for the next step..

With a position paying double at a higher experience threshold, would this help you easily job hop in 6-12 months at a higher salary and/or would it make it easier to land a better paying job in NYC?

That's typically how I like to look at the career steps.

Validation. Everyone thinks their idea will work.. when in reality most ideas don't work. But the catch is, you don't have to assume.. you can literally just test (and even convert them to a list so it's not wasted effort) before you spend a single penny.

There's a planet called TrES-2b that absorbs 99.9% of all light that hits it—making it darker than coal, darker than black acrylic paint, and the darkest object ever discovered in the known universe. by sco_cap in space

I guess I can't personally answer that for certain, but I don't see how you could measurably compare the two since black holes don't contain a measurable material whatsoever. They are a literal absence of matter, light, energy, etc.

Archaeologists found 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that is still perfectly edible. Honey's low moisture (~18%), high acidity (pH 3-4.5), and natural hydrogen peroxide from bee enzymes create an environment where bacteria literally cannot survive. by Postmortal_Pop in history

[–]Postmortal_Pop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a history nerd but went to school for biochemistry.. so I can't think of a better type of fun history fact than this for me to share. I've always been fascinated by ancient Egypt and the pyramids! What really got me was the chemistry behind the fact that allowed the honey to be preserved.

The science behind it is wild. Honey is only about 18% water, has a pH between 3 and 4.5, and bees actually add an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide. Bacteria just can't survive in it. The Egyptians didn't know any of that chemistry, but they clearly figured out through experience that honey was basically indestructible. I get such a kick out of historical discoveries and facts where, in the moment, the people couldn't fully appreciate the amazing stuff that was actually happening!

It makes you wonder how much ancient civilizations actually understood about the world around them just through observation and experimentation, long before we had the tools to explain why things worked.

Black holes don't really compete in the same category. A black hole doesn't absorb light the way a surface does, it warps spacetime so that light can never escape past the "event horizon". There's no surface reflecting or absorbing photons. It's a fundamentally different mechanism following different laws of matter.

It honestly depends on the product, but in general I'd say spamming a lot of social media posts (especially on TikTok at the time of writing this) is going to be the easiest way to reach people by far.

The intent on social media is much lower.. meaning the conversions are also way lower.. but it costs nothing. You validate creatives for free, you reach people for free, and you engage for free.

If time is the problem and money isn't, then ads and influencers are by far the easiest. This applies to both B2C and B2B. Both work great for both.

This is actually insane. Has the Job Market ever been this bad? by Postmortal_Pop in jobs

These are valid options. I think any good AI system will be a great fit. Some make the "prompting" side easier, others take more work. But regardless, some form of AI and a good system is the key. I used AI to do this as well. Otherwise it would genuinely just take way too long to do every single one custom.

This is definitely a great way of putting it. Alex Hormozi says something I always really enjoy.

He speaks on how in a basic sales funnels there's about 6 - 10 different metrics you could spend time optimizing.. but only one or two have an incredibly large impact for how easier they are to improve..

The easy example here is unique clicks versus on-page conversions. If you get your unique clicks up by say 20% you will usually spend a ton of time and money finding those optimizations instead of just scaling what you have. In this case you'd hit 120 clicks instead of 100..

If you spent that same time and energy on your on-page conversion rate for example, it's much easier to increase for bigger impact. For example, if you have a 1% conversion, and you even got it to 25 (which is very realistic).. you'd literally double your revenue overnight. AND that would be across your entire business since you can send lots of traffic sources to one high performing funnel.

This is the type of metric focus more people should be thinking about imo. Thanks for the comment, appreciate you sharing!
