Ways to Earn – Advertising – Ad Campaigns

On empowr, you have the ability to purchase other people's ads through "Ad Campaigns."  What’s an Ad Campaign?  With Ad Campaigns, you are simply purchasing Ad clicks not funded by the person that created the ad. Ad Campaigns efficiently bring together content producers with advertisers to make it easier for everyone on empowr to earn and succeed.  How Ad Campaigns Work  Ad Campaigns ensure that great blogs and ads will be viewed by allowing others to continue to purchase these ads after their daily budget has been utilized. Citizens can create as many Ad Campaigns as they’d like; there are literally billions of combinations of Ad Campaigns to create.  The Three Types of Ad Campaigns  “Simple” Ad Campaigns mean you are determining the maximum amount you would like to use to support other’s Ads and the minimum return you would like. empowr will then find ads to purchase for you. “Advanced” Ad Campaigns allows you to specify the type of ads you would like to support. You can decide to support ads created by specific people or for certain interests.  “Managed” Ad Campaigns are the quickest and easiest way to get started with Ad Campaigns. With Managed Ad Campaigns, empowr does the work of finding advertising opportunities and then funds those ads for you with Ad Credits – taking out all of the work. Managed Ad campaigns are created automatically when citizens turn earnings on.  Creating an Ad Campaign  To begin creating an ad campaign, go to the left navigation bar and click "My Ad Campaigns" under “Advertise”  Click "New Ad Campaign" Give your portfolio a unique name to tell it apart from your other campaigns. Then determine how much funding you want to give this campaign and the return you would like to receive.  Purchasing Ad Campaigns  Ad Campaigns can be purchased from $1 to $100,000. To pay for Ad Campaigns citizens can use ad credits, 60 day matured earnings, PayPal and credit cards.  Your Ad Campaign funds will be held in pending status in your empowr bank until utilized or until you pause your portfolio (up to 48 hours after pausing). Pending funds for Ad Campaigns are unavailable to be utilized for ads or other portfolios.  Since there may be more money available to purchase advertising, than there are advertising opportunities. Not all money set for Ad Campaigns will always be utilized.  Return Rates  Your funds are utilized dependent on your minimum return requirement, and who or what you decide to fund.  The suggested return rate ranges estimates the return requirements needed for your Ad Campaign to be utilized (this is based on            recent returns).  The highest rate of return is the last rate of return the day ended at.  To calculate the rate of return, simply divide the profit gained by the original amount used to purchase the ad campaign. For instance, if a citizen spent $100 on ads, and received $110 in earnings, the profit is $10. The return rate is 10% (10 ÷ 100).  By checking the "I want the site to control this" box, more of your money may actually be utilized (which increases your overall earnings). The algorithms intelligently find opportunities for you for the best possible returns.  Simple Ad Campaigns  To create a "Simple" Ad Campaign, select "Simple", and click "Continue"  To further increase your earnings, automatically restart your Ad Campaign using your earnings by selecting: “Once completed, automatically restart this Ad Campaign using the same settings” selected.  Advanced Ad Campaigns  Advanced Ad Campaigns allow you to choose which ads you fund based on a number of options:  top knowledge workers in your home country or worldwide  search knowledge workers by name  choose popular knowledge areas or knowledge areas of interest  choose by citizens who support specific charities  Click the green "+" symbol to add selections to your Ad Campaign.  Click the magnify glass symbol to see a list of people contributing to that interest.
