V7N Contextual Payments

**John Scott** · 04-28-2007, 07:45 PM

To clarify how we pay Contextual publishers:

1. You get an assignment.

2. You do the assignment, respond to the assigner with PayPal address.

3. Assigner reviews and approves blog post, and submits blog post and PayPal address to auditor for payment.

4. Auditor reviews blog post, makes payment.

From the time the auditor approves the blog post, payment will be made within 48 hours.

If you waste our staff's time with needless questions and try to rush payment, chances are you will be dropped from the program.

And, come to think of it, let's make that one week, instead of 48 hours, effective immediately. This is due to too many people wasting contextual staff time trying to get paid immediately.

With the current system, one week is fair. Thanks for clarifying this, John.

John can i make a suggestion?

I think you should assign the tasks,we do the tasks,we hear response of approval and that the payment will be made sooner note and stop.

At the end of the week, pay us for all the assignments within that week, this way it would be very easy for the staff to work.Including the record of which posts were approved etc...
I personally never faced any problem with such a cooperative V7N staff and people like Mike who always responded to me on time

, i gave him this suggestion and he said he'll look into it

Thanks

We're considering a number of options of how to improve the system overall so your suggestion is appreciated Khushal, thank you

We are always open to hearing suggestions from all our publishers as to how to improve the system, we try to be as open as possible and listen to everyone. So anyone with ideas please PM me or post them in the forum.
Thanks all,
Mike

I think the system is far better now.

i didnt see this post earlier lol - so thats why i was wondering why my payments were late a few days lol - but its all good - i am a patient man

i havent had any problems either but i think its pretty fair for both parties - got a lot of assignments last week lol and all paid for - finished off the last $40 today

keep it up v7n

Good to know.

I think the reason everyone asked was they were newbies, after that first payment everyone knows they'll be paid. I don't mind waiting, I love Funbie's idea. It still beats those that make you wait a month to get paid.

Great policy! I am all for that, John

js_thomas02 · 05-01-2007, 04:32 PM

Oh my, I sent a message to ask about the payment. Does it mean I'm off from the system? Gosh, I didn't know there such a rule that you'll get banned from asking

You're probably ok, just don't ask anymore.

Maikunari · 05-01-2007, 07:57 PM

js_thomas02, don't worry we don't ban publishers for asking questions, we're not that mean

Maikunari · 05-01-2007, 07:57 PM

As long as the questions are reasonable that is.

Oh thanks! I feel better already

Thanks for this, i don't mind waiting for a week for the payment what more important is we get paid for the job we've done. More power V7.

When is my next assignment?
Can I have another link to place?
Are we there yet?

I think people just shouldnt expect to earn a living from the contextual program.

I also dont get why people can't wait a week with getting paid. A normal job the payment received every 2 weeks, or even every month.
Be happy v7n is giving you the opportunity to make some extra with this.

waffles · 05-16-2007, 08:23 AM

Honestly, there's only one thing I would maybe want changed about the payment system. And I'm not ever sure if this is something that can be done, but I'll throw it out there anyway.

Why not just pay weekly, or monthly, or something like that and give a lump sum for completed assignments during that period?

Again, I don't know if this would be something easy or hard to set up, or even something JS would want to look into. But anything to reduce my PayPal feels would be great.

joe-d · 05-17-2007, 12:24 AM

Thanks for clearing it up John! I will sure keep these in mind.

jsellars2528 · 08-02-2007, 08:28 PM

Not sure if this will even get seen... But here goes...
What do you do if you completed an assignment a week ago and have yet to receive a pm stating that it had been accepted nor have you been paid? I sent a pm back to the person who assigned it to me several days ago and haven't heard anything. Any advice?
