Making money online with FanSlave and your Facebook account

Click here for joining the English site:

• You can like up to 30 Facebook fan pages per day.


• You get a fanRank status that determines how much you earn per click. It depends on the number of friends you have and the 'interactivity of your account', whatever that exactly is. My fanRank is the lowest, and I get 2 EUR-Cents per click. My impression is that with the highest rank you get 7 Cents per like.


• There is a 15 EUR payout threshold. Payout is via PayPal.

Update:

• After liking a few pages, my fan rank rose from 1 to 3. Now it is at 5, maybe due to me having referred a user through this page.


• It seems that fanslave ran out of customers after I had liked some pages. Initially, I got a presentation of 5 different links every time I visited the overview page, now the choice I have is down to the same 2 links every time I visit. Maybe I need to visit more frquently in order to catch some more opportunities, I don't know...

Update early September, 2011:

Now there are more fan pages on offer, some of which will give me 3 credits, some 7 and some 9. They are from all kinds of fan pages, for shops, artists, movies, a very local newspaper. No more humanitarian organizations, I am glad to say. Surprisingly many small local businesses, which are not really from my area, but at least from my country.
My credits balance is at 222 now, and the cash they promise me for this is 1.11 %u20AC. Still a long way to go until I reach the 15 %u20AC payout threshold. Nevermind, I am not there for the money! ;)

Caution, associated risk:
Facebook obviously does not like this 'like'-trading. Therefore, it is said, fb blocks users that make too much use of the 'like' button from using it for some days or weeks. I personally would not mind.
Note: Fanslave claims that they do not violate the fb terms of service. Their view is that they only suggest fan pages to facebook users that they might not see otherwise, and urge the fanslave user to only 'like' those pages s/he really likes...
Some other online sources, especially law blogs say it does violate them and that buying fans was illegal, and selling your vote as well. I don't care. They pay you for pulling Facebook's leg, and I like it.

I know this subject will be fairly controversial, but I dislike fb and will sum up some reasons here for doing so.

First of all, I think fb is a spam platform that is of very little actual use. Status updates that people post there are mostly extremely trivial in content, and it is a real time-burner to read them. And if I don't read them all, I might miss that one non-trivial message. So I don't read any of them.
