Okay guys there's been a a lot of talk about Vinefire.com these days, I just want to say a few things. I have 3 points I want to make today, I have no idea how long this post is going to be, but I'm just going with the flow like I usually do.
1. First and foremost, I would like to talk about peoples view on Vinefire as a scam. Now for any of you who don't know what Vinefire is, so go to the site and read, I have no intention of explaining because it says it all there and I'm to lazy to explain what's already written, anyways this post is intended for people who already know what this site is about. Sorry I'm a little cranky, I was in the middle of writing this and was interrupted and had to go somewhere, so I copied and pasted what I wrote and left it in notepad, when I got back and tried pasting back what I wrote on a new discussion, I found out mylot wouldn't let me paste until I had 500 posts I believe...grrr. I really think the contemporary internet community has become a horde of people with tourettes who say SCAM! every time they look at a new program. I don't blame them though, the majority of these money making programs are scams indeed. People have been scammed so many times that they have lost the ability to be open-minded.
Okay now enough ranting here, my first point I am trying to make is that technically Vinefire is not a scam, really guys...come on, after being scammed so many times you guys have forgotten the real definition of "scam"
Scam: a fraudulent business scheme; deprive of by deceit. (courtesy of dictionary.com)
I really want to make a point of these two definitions, first I want to make a point of "deprive of by deceit", think about this real careful, is Vinefire really trying to deceive anyone? They say straight up in their how it works page, forum page (if you scroll down how it works to the bottom, they have a link to a secluded forum where they explain how their site works in even more detail), and their terms and conditions too! And that leads into "fraudulent business scheme", I've explained how it isn't really deceiving anybody, so really it isn't being fraudulent at all.
2. Point number 2 is what my topic is talking about, so take a minute Mylot members...and take that imaginary camera in your heads and move it where ever you want, 90 degrees to the top, 43 degrees to the left, I don't care, just move it. Now lets look at Vinefire at a different angle. I've explained it, Vinefire's explained it, they DO NOT GUARANTEE you the amount you earn on the site! You might not even get any money at all! So lets take what we know, and think...does Vinefire somewhat no relate to a stock in a stock market? People literally invest into companies all the time not knowing if they will give them money or fail and the investor loses money. Vinefire works kind of in the same way, and there is WAYY less of a risk as well, you sign up for the site, and they ask you for 2 dollars to upgrade (I believe, can't remember) and a few other expenses, in a stock market, you're not investing that little money. And it's not like you are forced to upgrade, it is a choice as well. Anyways, Vinefire really resembles a stock, if it fails, then you gain nothing, if it does achieve its goal, then you get your money.
But now I don't want to be one sided here, I like to be open minded and look at both sides first, so I'll also look at the scam point of view. One way it could be a scam is if it does turn out to be sold for a lot of money, the site might not pay like it said it would...that is the REAL big controversy, but you know what, people in the stock markets take risks, and Vinefire's risk is not even a big one.
3. This is a short point, but basically think of Vinefire as a site to promote whatever program you are one right now, and the money making part as a bonus. If you guys already didn't know, that site is REAL active and you'll definitely be getting a lot of traffic. Here is what one of the members of the site had to say on a comment on one of the squidoo lense I came across.
"feyerup wrote
Vinefire is so much fun. Especially watching people get their panties in a bunch about it.The naysayers are coming out of the woodwork. Meanwhile, Vinefire members are getting hits and sign-ups by the ton. M'Gosh, its free folks. Right now, it may be the most active site on the web. For alot of people, this may be the best thing theyhave going for them. Enjoy."
So I have 2 lessons today, haters try opening your eyes some more before you judge, people have already found ways to use Vinefire for getting more traffic, and even signups as their referrals as well! Lesson number 2, please stop using scam so loosely, be more open minded and do some research! And most of all...THINK! Think about the site, think about what it says it can offer, think about ways you can improvise and manipulate it to your benefit, just THINK before you talk. Didn't we learn this in elementary or something?
"I sold my soul to the devil, so I could see what was going on in the other side. In other words, I look at the both points of views first before saying anything, that's how you write an essay too."

I think this site won't pay their member and it's such a great way to waste ypur precious time...
But, you can try to promote your sites there for free.

That may be true, even if they get sold to a company they may not pay up and that was one of the points I made there. After hearing from a few people looks like the promoting sites there isn't as great as people have been talking about. Now only time will tell if they site will be successful or become an utter failure, and the bigger question, if it does get bought out will they pay the money they promised?
