Varolo Launch Contest – Win 500 villagers!
We would like to announce a new contest beginning March 15th, 2011 and ending the day before our launch on April 16th, 2011. For the next month, you can earn chances to win 500 villagers. That is right, 500 villagers can be added to your village on top of whatever your village size is today. In fact 10 lucky Varolo users will win villages of 500!
How to qualify
It is simple, each new Varolo villager that you register between March 15th and April 16th will count as a single entry. But it isn’t just about signing people up in Varolo. These users must also confirm their account, login and watch a full week of ads (all 140) to qualify as an entry for you. While some people might feel this is unfair as other users behavior isn’t in their control, there are some that may try to register additional accounts themselves. We should state that we have systems that can detect this behavior and if detected, you will not only be disqualified from the contest, but you may also be banned from Varolo. Advertisers are paying for unique, legitimate users in the system and we want to maintain the integrity of Varolo. In addition to your new villagers watching all of their ads, you must also watch all of your ads each week to qualify. You must also agree to the jackpot contest rules (if you haven’t already with the regular jackpot the system will prompt you to when you login). We want these villages of 500 users to go to very loyal and dedicated Varolo villagers.
Now if you sponsor someone within the final week (where they can’t get 140 ad views), they must confirm their account and watch at least 20 ads/day for each day they are subscribed for them to count as an entry.
For example, if you find 20 people that register for Varolo, and they all confirm their accounts, login, and watch at least 1 full week of ads (140 ads), you will have 20 chances to win one of the 10 villages of 500.
Now imagine this…. What if you register 20 people and each of them find 10 people to register…. that by itself grew your village by 200. Then lets say that of those 200 users, 2 of them win villages of 500. Your village would grow by an additional 1000 villagers because they are in your village! It is the same as the splash up but with villages. Imagine how large your village could grow in the next 30 days.
Now, lets answer a few questions that are obviously on your mind…
Where do the villagers come from?
There is a method for users to register in Varolo without a sponsor. This is primarily for those users that heard about Varolo through an Internet search or some other method that didn’t include a direct sponsor. We call these villagers “orphans” as they don’t have a sponsor or “parent” in the system. Since our public beta began we have over 5000 orphans in the system. In other words, over 5000 people have registered without a sponsor. So we thought we would break them down into groups of 500 and give them away! This has absolutely no negative impact on the orphans themselves. In fact, when there are orphans in the system, it means fewer people are making money because they aren’t part of another village. For example, if you are an orphan and you are watching your ads, no one is earning money from that because you aren’t sponsored. In other words, orphans earn money for Varolo instead of other users. We want users to benefit from each other. So by being put in another person’s village, other people can benefit from you and your village. It maximizes the earnings for everyone, which is what we want.
Can an orphan win a village of 500?
Of course. Anyone that sponsors users and follows the contest rules above has a chance to win a village of 500.
Can someone win more than once and get more than 500 villagers?
No. We are only allowing one village of 500 to be won by each of 10 people.
What if the new villages you win aren’t active and therefore don’t benefit me in the future?
This is important. We at Varolo do not have any control over the activity rate of these Varolo users. Statistically there will be some that are very active, others less active, and many that are not active at all. We don’t have any control over these and we make no guarantees regarding the activity level or potential earnings from having these users. Some of these users may never use their account again while others will use it daily while still others might come back in a few months and begin using it then. We simply make no promises regarding the “quality” of these villagers. But, this is in fact the reason we selected groups of 500 be given away. Because if nothing else, even if every single user you win never uses Varolo again, this will still allow you to gain your final achievement and unlock your 5th degree of separation for additional earnings in the future. We are sure each village of 500 will have many inactive users but we also believe that over time, as Varolo grows in popularity, many of these users will begin using Varolo again and benefit you at that time.
What happens when any of those 500 villagers sponsor people in the future?
Any and all villagers sponsored by these 500 people in the future will go into your village, including all those they invite, and they invite, etc, all the way up to your 5th degree of separation. We hope this jump-starts the villages of many hard working and loyal Varolo members!
What if an orphan has already built a village?
We aren’t giving away 500 orphans. We are giving away villages of 500. In other words if one of these orphans has build a village of 200, that would be 200 of the total 500 that would be given away. We make no promises or guarantees that all users will go on your first degree. They could be anywhere in your village. This is because we will maintain the integrity of the villages that orphans have built to date. An orphan may get moved to someone else’s village but any village they have created moves with them. That village is part of the 500 that would benefit the winner. Again, this has no negative ramification on the orphan or their village at all.
What about those people that didn’t want a sponsor that are now getting one?
While we don’t quite understand why people wouldn’t want a sponsor, there are some people that do not want to be part of someone else’s village. Unfortunately for them, this is not how Varolo works. Varolo is a system where when everyone participates and tries to help each other, we can all be successful. Creating a “silo” and attempting to create your own Varolo world of which you are on top just isn’t the culture we want to have. We want everyone to want to help everyone else. We want everyone to have a sponsor that can be traced back to the first Varolo person (we call her “Eve”). We want people to have large villages and make money and help others build large villages. We have always maintained the right to assign people to a village even if they register without a sponsor. That is what we will be doing with the Varolo launch contest. We hope everyone understands the logic.
How many entries can I earn?
As long as you follow the requirements listed above and in the contest rules as well as abide by the Varolo terms of service, there is no limit to the number of entries any user can earn.
What if I get someone to register but they either don’t confirm their account or don’t watch their ads?
Then this user would not qualify as an entry toward your chance to win a village of 500
Keep On Keepin On!
