Get paid to receive spam
By Madhur Kapoor on Dec 4, 2007 in Tech
We all hate SPAM, it is everywhere, in our inbox, in our blog comments, in our IM messages and what now. But what would you say if you get paid to receive spam. Boxbe is a service that lets you choose the type of advertisement you want to receive and actually pays you for doing so.
It also lets you create a guest list so that you always receive email from that people. Any other person not included in the guest list will receive a request to verify the message before it gets delivered to your desktop. You even will have an option to include all your address book contacts to your guest list. Message will also be given priority depending on the sender being on your guest list or not. But the most innovative thing is that you can select business which you want to receive mail from. For more details, check here
Although the idea is innovative, i dont think it is going to be successful. Imagine being asked to verify a message each time you send a message to your friend from a new email. What do you guys think about it ?
Lol, definitely looks like a weird service to me. But schemes like these work a lot with people. These are just like those work from home schemes which lure people

I don’t think anyone can even pay me money to look at spam! It’s such a waste of time and it’s so annoying! hahaha I guess some people will do it for the money!

These days, spam means money too, I guess. There is no excuse for not making money online nowadays.

lolzzz .. i think the make money online was missing this feature for bloggers.. But i still didnt understand the concept. No where its mention that they will be paying us for getting emails. What i understood with some scanning was that you can create a list and you will recieve mails only from those address and from no where else.

I already get plenty of spam, might as well get paid for it.

Interesting title.
I dont think this is going to be successful, people will sign up initially, but I dont feel this will last long.

Who knows, it may be a good thing for some people. Especially with the ones who have a lot of time and e-mail accounts. Hm…

Even i dont think this will be successful . I dont think the messages they will send will be totally spam like Ram mentioned. They will be regarding certain products or companies and even we have the choice of choosing them.

Err, wow, I agree with you and a lot of the other commentators - I don’t think it’ll be a success either. I get plenty of spam and I don’t need anymore.
The payments will probably be extremely low anyway. When I was a newbie to blogging and making money online, I did a lot of the pay-to-search, pay-to-read, pay-to-click, some that paid one cent for each thing - let’s say that I learned very quickly how much of a waste of time and effort those are for so little in return!
