Fanbox University-- Open for registration

To some extent, fanbox may be considered as an online academe. The difference however, is that every member is both a student and a teacher at any given time. In addition to that, all members get to earn from doing what they enjoy doing (whether it being a learner or a teacher). With the new product enhancements that the untiring fanbox support team is continually conducting, every fanbox member may graduate upon completing the following requirements:



1. Categorizing and Rating.  Every post that you visit after registering as a member of the fanbox community entitles you to ad credits which ads up to your daily earnings and may also be used to fund your ads. If you have just created an account at fanbox, and still have no fans or friends you won't be able to receive any feed from other members. So your first assignment would be to be a fan or be a friend of other members. Let's suppose, you are already receiving fanfeed from other members. Here is how start categorizing and rating:



a. Either you do this from your fanbox fan feed page (homepage) click on any post you want to rate and/or categorize:







Once you are on the page you want to categorize, scroll down a bit to the end of the post and you will see this:


Rate the post by the terms (the words written in blue) by clicking any of the three: the check mark (which will open up the boxes, with the corresponding numerals (1-10, 1 being the lowest rating or if the word least likely describes the post and 10 if the key term best describes the post) (see above image), the question mark (if you're not sure whether the word describes the post, and the "X" mark if the word does not really tell anything about the post.

To categorize, key in words that you think best describes what the post is all about in the box immediately below the "Search Terms." 




b. or by clicking on the
    on the same page, which will direct you to this page:



In this page, click on the "Other Knowledge Roles" and then follow the steps and then you're done.





2. Being a Knowledge Producer. Create your own post for others to rate and categorize. 



3. Becoming a Knowledge Provider. Once this feature is launched, members may start promoting their services or products. (for a discussion on this visit "fanbox path to success")



4. Promoting other's post. Yes, you also earn when someone gets to read a post that you have just promoted. You can even start promoting or creating ads even with $0.00 budget.  To do this, click on the "other knowledge page" (see image above). In the page that opens, click on get started button in the "Earn by Creating Simple Ads" box.



Choose the number of ads, you wan't to promote then start creating ads.  Then hit "go."





Design your ad, by filling in the boxes provided. Click on the radio button that says, I want the Knowledge Investors to fund this, if you don't want to use your own money to fund your ad.



Hit Submit and you're done.



5. Becoming a knowledge booster. A sure way to increase your earning would be to fund ads promoted by others. To start boosting your fanbox income, launch your own portfolio.





Create a name for your portfolio. Decide how much you want to boost and click on whether you want fanbox to control the fund or indicate how much you want in return for the amount you will spend to boost your income.






If you want to limit as to where the fund will be allocated, just identify them:



a. According to knowledge workers a. you care about, b. contributing to any of the identified cause, c. supporting any of the identified cause.



b. According to knowledge areas specified:



6. Becoming a knowledge educator. Earlier, I mentioned that at fanbox, any member may be a teacher at any time. With this function, one gets to earn from sharing one's knowledge with others. At the moment, any one who has reached $200 in total earnings, has 100 friends and at least 25 fans, are qualified to become a success coach. 


Once, you have completed all these roles, you are considered a fanbox graduate and all of your earnings will be doubled. A whooping 200% for all your earnings! Isn't it great? You will be paid to do what you love :-)

Eager to join us? It's easy and takes only five minutes to start. Create your free account here and start earning from your passion.

Discover your road to success with FanBox




At fanbox, although you work on your own, the community also contributes towards your earnings nonetheless. How is that possible? Since fanbox is a community where people are eager to help and be helped (as long as you are seen as a trusted and active member of the community) the more fans and friends you gain . A bigger fan base means a better chance for your posts to be seen by more people.  As a direct consequence, you also spend time to help a member earn by reading his or her posts, which adds up earnings to your account when you rate, categorize and review other posts. At fanbox, you will find people from different walks of life whose joy includes being a blessing to others. Fanbox community members will  let you experience different cultures, religion, beliefs, and temperaments and, at the same time be compensated for the time you spend being entertained.


In a nutshell, fanbox helps each community member to:



1. Excel.  Each person is special-- with inherited talents, discovered skills and with instilled knowledge-- waiting to be developed and shared. With fanbox, each community member gets to enhance or augment these talents, skills and knowledge with each encounter. However, the road to excellence traversed by each fanbox member is more pleasurable rather than taxing.


2. Inspire. In each blogging encounter, each fanbox member becomes self-actualized or becomes aware of areas that still needs to be developed, and skills, talents or knowledge that he has the ability to share with others. In the end, he is able to create not just awareness to others, also, to some extent, inspire others to do the same.


3. Encourage. Experience is the best teacher. At fanbox, those who had been successful in achieving their goal (whether it be monetary, intellectual or emotional), gets the chance to provide encouragement to others as well. With everyone encouraging each other to do better, not only individual but group or the community's development ensues.


4. Believe. With everyone actively participating and posting updates on their achievements, more and more members start to believe that no barrier can hinder the community from becoming better and each member more contented.


5. Succeed. All these ends up to success-- success that is shared with others and starts the chain for others who have just begun to cling on and, later, experience a better and brighter end.

Is Fanbox just another scam?

NO -- is my straightforward response. Fanbox is legit and it pays. It pays its member for the time they spent doing what we love-- writing our thoughts and sharing our knowledge about any topic imaginable. It's more than just a social networking site--meaning you gain friends and fans, have fun while earning for the time you spend at the site. 


Wondering when you could request payout should you decide to become a member of this promising community? Any time as long as you have $20 in your account balance, you may withdraw your earnings via paypal (no paypal account? create one here) or by check. 


Another good thing about fanbox, is that it gives a portion of its earnings to charity. You, as a member, gets to choose to which charity you would like to donate a portion of your earnings. In the process, you don't just earn for yourself, you get to earn for others who would not be able to do it by themselves alone.

Becoming a member of the community is free and there are a number of ways you can earn while having a great time at the site:



1. Produce posts. For the time someone spends on your posts, you get paid. The more people gets to read your post, the bigger the earning you will  have. Talk about anything that inspires you. Share special moments,  tips or tricks you want others to learn, or some nuggets of wisdom you had learn from an interaction, a book you have read-- you can share practically anything with every person (either your friend/s or people who had become your fan/s while reading through your posts or comments in other posts created by other bloggers within the fanbox community).


2. Promote posts. Ads are the income source of fanbox. For every cent spent by an investor towards a specific campaign, every member of the community profits. Another way to earn money at fanbox is by promoting posts that you or others have made. Creating ads does not always require you to shell out anything since you can even fund an ad using investors' fund. If you decide to promote a post, start off by clicking on the "promote" button on your dashboard and just follow the instructions in the page that opens.






3. Invest. Funding ads you or others have created is perhaps the fastest, although not compulsory, way to earn more at fanbox. Should you decide to invest, you have the option to either have fanbox decide how your investment would be used or you could choose who (among those from the leaderboard) or what (based on keywords or interest) should receive the investment you have added in your account. Clicking on the invest button in your dashboard would direct to your investment portfolio. Decide how much and to which post your funding would go by following the instructions in that page.

4. Categorize, rate and review posts. As I have mentioned earlier, everything you do while at fanbox, is compensated. Even while entertaining yourself reading other posts, or rating and categorizing each post likewise earn you money. This does not include commenting, though. But leaving insightful comments may, in time, attract fans and friends, hence would be great if you could leave your honest comment on any post you get to read. It also provides feedback (as long as it's not cliche comment such as "great, nice, good post...and the likes) that you would be leaving from post to post.


5. Finally, you get to earn from new members who have opted to choose you as their teacher. Note, that there is a special link given to members to promote. Anyone who registers using that special link automatically becomes your student. In the process, you get to share your knowledge and, at the same time earn from educating others about fanbox. 


As you can see, fanbox is just an amazing community where you could mix fun with earning.

Great things start from small beginnings

Believe or not, it is not all sunshine and rainbows when fanbox started. It took a lot of hard work, sleepless nights, and ingenuity from the unrelenting and persistent people behind fanbox. To learn more about the early beginnings of fanbox, check out this video:
