How does Varolo work?

It is simple. Advertisers want you to watch commercials and other advertisements. They pay for that today whenever you watch television, listen to the radio, read a newspaper, see a billboard, or any of dozens of other methods. These traditional advertising methods are not nearly as effective as they once were. TV's now have DVR's which allow people to fast forward over commercials. Radios have been replaced with MP3 players. Newspapers have been replaced with the Internet.

Varolo gives you the opportunity to watch commercials and ads and you get compensated. The first method of compensation is through the Varolo Jackpot. Each ad you watch enters you to win the weekly jackpot. The size of the jackpot changes based on the number of active Varolo users and the number of ads they watch weekly. The more people and ads watched, the larger the jackpot is! The second method of compensation is through the Varolo Village. The Varolo Village is simply you, and your friends you have invited to use Varolo for up to 4 degrees of separation. In other words, your village includes all the people you invite (one degree of separation), all the people they invite (two degrees of separation), all the people they invite (3 degrees of separation), and all the people they invite (4 degrees of separation). Your village earns money for you that you can claim by watching advertisements yourself. As you can see, participation is required to earn money. You receive a percentage of the revenue from the ads watched by your entire village. You can invite as many people as you want and you can get paid on a regular basis. Use the online calculator to see how much money you can make through the Varolo village.

Does being a Varolo member cost anything?

Absolutely not. Varolo is completely free. You will never be asked to spend any money… ever!

Will my information be kept private?

Yes. Varolo prides itself on consumer privacy. While information must be collected to allow advertisers to offer relevant ads to you, advertisers are not allowed to ever see your private information. This information is stored and managed in accordance with state and federal data privacy laws.

If Varolo is free, how is it that I can get paid?

Easy. First each ad you watch enters you to win the weekly jackpot. Second, your village generates money that you can claim through watching ads yourself. You can earn a percentage of the money paid by advertisers on each ad your Varolo Village watches. Your Varolo Village includes those people you sponsor, and those they sponsor and so forth up to 4 degrees of separation. You will always know how much money your village has earned and how many ads you need to watch to claim it. The larger your village is, the more money you can make. You can grow your village by inviting friends to also use Varolo. They can also win the weekly jackpot as well as build their own village. The best part is, as they grow their village, your village is growing as well and you earn money on all their friends, and their friends and their friends!

Can I watch all my weekly ads at one time or do I have to login every day?

There is nothing that requires you to login to Varolo every day. Each week, a number of ads must be viewed by you to claim 100% of your village earnings. If you watch one half of the ads queued for you, you will get 50% of your village earnings. If you watch 90%, you will get 90% of your village earnings. Here is the key. Many advertisers may only be willing to show you ads once a day or only at certain times of the day. If you wait until the end of the week and expect to be able to watch all your ads, you may be out of luck. There may not be enough ads to claim 100% of your village earnings. If you use Varolo consistently throughout the week, you will have the best opportunity to claim 100% of your village earnings.

Why do advertisers want to use Varolo?

Advertisers use Varolo because they can use your profile information to send you meaningful relevant ads. You can also use the "current interests" window to specify things you are interested in right now. If advertisers have products or services that match those interests, they can present those ads, promotions, information and coupons to you. Varolo also ensures that users are watching the ads by requiring users to enter a code or interact with the system at the end of each message. This ensures that advertisers are getting the audience they want and that they are watching the messages. The Varolo system offers advertisers features and capabilities that are not available on any other advertising platform in the world!

How do you validate the ads are being watched?

There are a variety of methods used to ensure users are watching the ads. One way is by using CAPTCHA. Most users have seen these before where a picture that includes letters or words is presented on the screen and you have to type in what you see. This reduces fraud as well as ensures the user is present. The CAPTCHA or other validation option becomes available at the end of the ad and goes away after several seconds. If the user doesn't enter the code, the system assumes they weren't present and waits for them to play the ad again, or go to the next ad.

What if I don't type in the validation code in time?

If you missed the window to type in the validation code you can replay the ad and then type in the code or you can simply go onto the next ad. If you don't type in the validation code, the advertiser doesn't pay for the ad and you don't get credit for the ad both in terms as a jackpot entry and to contribute to the village.

How old do you have to be to join Varolo?

You must be at least 13 years old to join Varolo. Children 12 and younger are not allowed to join Varolo.

Is Varolo a network marketing or multi-level marketing company?

No. We do not sell anything. We do not require membership of any kind. You will never pay anything for using Varolo .

Does Varolo sell anything?

No. We simply provide a free service that compensates Varolo users directly for watching advertiser messages and helping promote the service.

What state restrictions exist in New York and Florida?

New York and Florida have specific requirements and restrictions around online sweepstakes that may prevent Varolo users in these states from participating in the weekly jackpot. For these states know that we are working hard to meet these requirements very soon so you can participate in the weekly jackpot. In the mean time, we suggest changing your "Rewards Preferences" to give that portion to a charitable organization. We don't anticipate these restrictions being a problem for long. The good news is that you can still join, grow your village and claim money from the earnings of your village regardless of which state you live in.

What about Varolo International expansion?

While Varolo has every intention of expanding internationally, patent applications, trademark and trade name applications, and international lottery laws and other work must be performed prior to our launch internationally. At this time Varolo members are limited to those living in the United States.

Can I really make money using Varolo?

Absolutely! And best of all it is completely free. You can make money by winning the weekly jackpot. Each ad you watch enters you to win. Enter as many times as you want until your ad supply runs out. Remember to log in often because some advertisers only show ads once a day or at certain times of the day so login often to maximize your chances to win. Additionally you can make money through the Varolo Village. The Varolo Village is made up of your friends, their friends and so forth up to 4 degrees of separation. Your village earns money that you can claim through watching ads. The more friends you invite to use Varolo, the faster your village will grow and the more money you can make.

How much money can be made from Varolo?

The answer to this question is up to you. There are no limits on the size of your Varolo Village therefore there are no limits on how much money can be made. The jackpot grows over time based on the number of Varolo members so the jackpot gets larger over time and the frequency it can be won can also increase.

How do I get paid from Varolo?

Getting paid by Varolo is simple. First, if you have a PayPal account, we will deposit your earnings into your PayPal account whenever you request it as long as you are transferring more than $10.00. No checks. No waiting. No hassle. From your PayPal account you can transfer the money directly into your checking or savings account. If you don't have a PayPal account, you can sign up for one at paypal.com. All PayPal transfer fees will be deducted from your transfer balance. See paypal.com for fees associated with these transfers.

Do I get taxed on my jackpot winnings and my claimed village earnings?

According to the U.S. tax code, when any individual earns more than $600 in a given calendar year, that person must be issued a 1099 form so they can be taxed. Varolo will not deduct taxes out of your jackpot winnings or your Varolo Village earnings. For users that earn more than $600/year, they are entirely responsible for the taxes that are due based on those earnings. Because Varolo must issue 1099s for users that have won or earned more than $600, additional information is required from the user. For jackpot winners, prior to the user receiving their jackpot winnings they must provide Varolo with their social security number which is used to report to the IRS. As annual village earnings near the $600 level, Varolo will require users social security numbers to continue to earn beyond the $600 level. Users that fail to provide their social security number will forfeit all earnings and winnings beyond $600. Users that win or earn more than $600 in any calendar year must agree to a background and/or credit check which will be used to ensure a legitimate identity. Only users with legitimate identities will be able to claim jackpot winnings or Varolo Village earnings beyond $600. 1099 tax forms will be sent out annually within 60 days of the end of the calendar year.

Jackpot

2010-10-29T09:50:00.000-07:00

Is there any reason to watch ads once I have claimed 100% of my Varolo Village earnings?

Yes. Each ad you watch, even once you have claimed 100% of your village earnings gives you another chance to win the weekly jackpot. The more ads you watch, the better chance you have to win.Another option you have once you have claimed 100% of your village earnings is to change your reward preferences to charity and watch ads where the revenue that would normally go towards the jackpot will be donated to the charity you select.

Can I enter the jackpot without watching ads?

Yes. You can send a postcard to:
1780 W. 9000 S. #160
West Jordan, UT 84088Be sure to include your name, email address, birth date, full address (including country), and phone number. Each post card received from a valid entrant, before the drawing or other cut-off period for entries set by Varolo, will act as a single entry into the Varolo Sweepstakes.

What is my incentive if I don't yet have a large village to earn from?

Some Varolo users don't yet have a large village or have no desire to grow a village. For these users there is still tremendous value is using Varolo. Remember, each advertisement you watch enters you to win the weekly jackpot. The more ads you watch, the more chances you have to win! There is no limit on how many entries you can have. If you have advertisements to watch, each one will enter you to win. It is like getting a lottery ticket for watching an ad rather than paying money.

The Village

2010-10-29T09:46:00.000-07:00

How does the Varolo Village work?

While getting chances to win a huge jackpot are great, most people are interested in Varolo because of the residual income they can make through building a Varolo village. Here is how it works. Let's stay you invite 3 friends to Varolo. When they sign up there is a field where they can put your email address which assigns them to your village. If they click on a Varolo invitation link, the email sponsor field is already filled in for them. These individuals have been directly sponsored by you. You can invite as many people as you want. You can have as many people as you would like directly sponsored by you. Advertisers pay for when these friends watch ads. Each ad they watch generates income for your village. 8% (eight percent) of the revenue from the ads they watch can be claimed by you.

There are many jobs where a commissioned person is excited to get 8 percent of the efforts of others, but it gets better. Each of those people that you have directly sponsored can also directly sponsor in Varolo. When they do this, these individuals are two degrees of separation from you. Your village earns 6% (six percent) of all the money advertisers spend on the ads they watch. Again there is no limit on how many people your friends can sponsor therefore your village is growing while your friends are inviting friends.

Friends of this group can also sponsor people into Varolo. These individuals are 3 degrees of separation from you (they are your friends, friends, friends). These users are also part of your Varolo village and your village earns 4% (four percent) of the ad revenue from these individuals. Again, these are people that joined your village without any effort on your part. They were invited by other friends and friends of friends.

Your village also includes those that are 4 degrees of separation from you. These are essentially your friends, friends, friends, friends. As they join Varolo, they automatically become part of your village and your village earns 2% (two percent) on all the ad revenue.

Each week all the people in your village which includes those you personally sponsor all the way through those that are 4 degrees separated from you are watching ads and generating revenue for your village. All you have to do is claim that money by watching ads yourself. You can earn 8% for all your directly sponsored friends, 6% on the friends they sponsor, 4% on the friends they sponsor, and 2% on all the friends they sponsor. This can total large sums of cash available to you each week.

You have the opportunity each week to claim 100% of that money by watching ads yourself. You will always know how much money has been generated by your village, how much you have claimed, and what you need to do to claim the rest. Be sure to use Varolo often to claim all the money your village produces. If you don't login for a week, all your potential earnings are forfeited. Users that attempt to login at the end of the week and claim all their village earnings may not have enough ads in their queue to claim all their village earnings. To ensure the best opportunity to get all of your village earnings, be sure that you use Varolo often!

How can I build my Varolo Village?

When a new user begins using Varolo, they will not have a village. A village is built by inviting friends to use Varolo. The more people you invite, the more will join. When they join, they will in turn invite friends who invite friends who also invite friends. Users can build their Varolo Villages through email invitations, word of mouth, SMS text, and many other ways. One of the most effective ways is to post messages on your social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and others. You can send messages to friends and family within your social networking sites. Remember to tell them it is totally free and they can earn real money through their village and each ad they watch enters them to win the weekly jackpot. The faster your village grows, the more money you can make!

How many ads do I need to watch to claim my village earnings?

The system will show you how many ads you need to watch to claim all the earnings from your Varolo Village. An indicator bar is also on the screen showing what percent of those weekly ads you have watched, and how much you have already claimed. The number of ads you need to watch to claim the earnings from your village could vary each week depending upon the advertisements that are queued up for you.

Why does my weekly claimed amount sometimes go up automatically?

Some people are surprised when they see their weekly claimed amount go up automatically. This is natural and supposed to happen in this way. Here is an example. Your Varolo Village has 11,000 people in it. On Monday, you login and watch ads which take your weekly claim meter to 10%. This means you have watched 10% of the ads you need to watch to claim 100% of your village earnings. During that same Monday, your village has watched thousands and thousands of ads which increase the amount of your village earnings to $50. Because you watched 10% of your weekly ads, you have now claimed $5.00. Tuesday comes and your village again watches thousands and thousands of ads taking your weekly village earnings to $100. When you login on Tuesday, you see you have now claimed $10.00 where yesterday your meter showed $5.00. This is because your village earnings have increased and you have already qualified for 10% of those earnings for the entire week. By Saturday, you haven't watched any more ads yourself, but you can see that your village earnings are at $300 and that you have claimed $30. Your claims have increased because you have already claimed 10% of whatever your village earnings are for that week. As the village earnings increase throughout the week, so do your claims once you have watched ads. You then watch another 20% of your weekly ads which takes you to 30% on your claim meter. Now you see that you have earned $90 (30% of $300). Each ad you watch allows you to claim more up to 100% of your village earnings. But be careful, you may not have enough ads queued up for you in a single day to reach a 100% claim. It is recommended that you login several times each week and watch ads to ensure you claim 100% of your village earnings.

What happens to the money that I don't claim from my village earnings?

If at the end of the week, you have not claimed all of your village earnings they are forfeited. Don't miss out on money that is yours. Login frequently and use the system to ensure you are claiming all your Varolo earnings.

What happens if someone in my village stops using Varolo?

Let's say that you sponsor a friend named Bob. Bob sponsored several people including Nancy to join Varolo. Bob decides he no longer wants to use Varolo. Because Bob no longer is watching any ads, he is not helping generate earnings for your Varolo village. Nancy however is still actively using Varolo. While Nancy is 2 degrees of separation from you, when she watches ads, that money is still part of the Varolo village earnings that you can claim. Everyone in your village that actively uses Varolo will help generate earnings that you can claim. If someone in your village stops using Varolo, just that person stops contributing to your village but everyone else continues to contribute to your earnings. The Varolo village earnings that Bob is choosing to not claim go into the weekly jackpot. If Bob decides he wants to begin using Varolo again, he can start claiming his weekly village earnings but he will not be able to claim earnings from previous weeks.

Varolo Preregistration

2010-10-29T09:39:00.000-07:00

Why is there pre-registration?

Many people want to know why we are having a pre-registration period and why they can't just start watching ads ad earning money now. Originally we were planning to do the full launch of Varolo without a pre-registration period. However, the pilot groups told us they wanted to begin building their Varolo villages now so that when ads could be watched, they could make money immediately. Additionally, Varolo is developing relationships with various advertisers and brands to ensure complete ad queues for all our users. One of the first things advertisers want to know is how many users there are in the system? A pre-registration allows us to give advertisers more accurate numbers and at the same time gives us the opportunity to develop more relationships with additional brands and advertisers.

How long is the pre-registration going to last?

We do not want to disenchant users by getting them to pre-register and then they have to wait many months before they can start using the system. That being said, at this time we do not have a specific date for launch. We anticipate that it will be before the end of 2010, however the primary factor is how quicly the user propulation grows. We currently have advertisers that have signed contracts and are ready to advertise when we launch. You can help! The faster Varolo grows, the faster we can launch. So share Varolo with your friends and have them fill out their profiles.

Will I be notified when the formal Varolo launch occurs?

Yes. We will send notifications out to all registered Varolo members with updates regarding the launch including a notification letting you know the Varolo service is live and ready to use.
