It's not a scam! I was skeptical, but my friend got paid yesterday and got me to sign up under her.
It's basic affiliate sales - you sign up and pay $1, then you get everyone else to sign up under you and get 50% of each sale - so $0.50 per person you refer. Making it simple and easy to make money.
In fact, I can see how the site owner must be making a lot off of this site - I'm half tempted to start up one of my own, lol
Check out my blog if you're interested - you'll find this and other money-making opportunities listed and reviewed there.

Sounds sketchy to me.
How much do you make for selling something if the person doesn't sign up?

So basically the money stops when the recruiting stops?

I could be completely off the wall here. But they don't even give you any information first. Just some math that assumes one person will sign up every minute...
I would love to read the policies and procedures.

That's impossible. What you're selling is the membership, which costs $1.
It's like... the site has a barrel of apples. I bought an apple. They told me that if I send more people to buy apples, they'll split the profits with me. So I paid $1 for my apple, and I'll get $0.50 if you buy an apple.
All they're selling is a membership - so you can't possibly sell someone something without them becoming a member.

Hello OceanLady. This is BBP-Studios. It's been some time since we've conversed.
Hmm, I have taken note to your information. Have you received a payment from this site?
I have a lot of trouble generally getting referrals. So you can imagen why I would be skeptical even with the amazing proposal that you've put together here on Mylot. :)
[I've been up to date on your blog. It's also still listed on my site. However, with school starting again, I haven't had much time to really give it the traffic boost that it needs friend.]

Hi! Nice to see you again, too.
No, I haven't been paid by this program... and I am no longer promoting it ($1 down the drain, oh well...) because the math involved was so foolproof that I thought I'd have a shot at setting up a similar program myself. One that doesn't make any crazy claims like "make $1 a minute" or try to give people false impressions.
What you see is what you get, and what you put into it is what you get out of it.
Let me know what you think - I understand if you don't want to sign up, but I have been looking for feedback. Plus, since it's my own program, I can guarantee payment^^

Well I can tell you know in all my honesty that I won't sign up. I is nothing to do with you at all. It is just that I've been exploring my writing online. I have been working with sites that pay you to write articles. It's not personal friend. There have been others who have wanted the same thing from me, and I've had to turn them down because of this reason. However, like all good things on the internet I will book mark your site.
[ps: your blog is well written, keep up the good work friend.]

Why do you think it's illegal? To me, it makes perfect sense... and I've had multiple people on various forums tell me that they think it is illegal, but so far no one has been able to tell me why it might be illegal.
To me, it seems like basic affiliate marketing. I direct someone to the site, they buy something, I earn commission. I already do this for a few other sites (you can see those on my blog, too), the only difference is that the other sites sell products and this one sells a service.

Third Skill: How to Identify SCAMS
An Attorney General would ask these two questions:
1 - Would a logical thinking person pay this much money for the product or service if there was not a business opportunity involved?
2 - Does the income stop when the recruiting stops?
If the answer to the first question is "No" and/or the answer to the second question is "Yes",
then it is a SCAM.
If you are interested in the first two skills just let me know.

I think it is not a scam. The logic behind it is very reasonable. Imagine sign-up fee for just 1USD and you receive 0.05USD for anybody you refer. That's great in terms of success. I'm in for it..
