Chime.In: The Social Network That Pays You To Use It

How many posts, status updates, campaigns, photos, links, and videos have you contributed to Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks since the time you used them? Do you get PAID for posting them? Have you got a penny from your posts?

According to Huffington Post, "Facebook has earned billions of dollars selling ads next to the content uploaded by their 800 million members." Do you get money from your posts and status updates? It's a big NO for all of us who are just regular users. Regular users mean to say users who are not engaged in advertising or selling products through Facebook and other social network sites.

It's time for us now to get paid to post photos, status updates, links, and videos by joining The Social Network that pays you to post. That's right! You will get money from your posts. How much do you get by using this social network? Posting updates on your profile page using this social network earns you 50 percent (50%) of what it gets. Yes, that's true. Chime.In effectively pays its users to contribute. "This is what entrepreneur Bill Gross plans to change," told Huffington Post on Tuesday, October 18.

"Share with Chime.in and Chime.in will share with you," Huffington Post added. "The site, which allows individuals to post photos, links, videos and text in two thousand character "chimes," will give users 50 percent of the revenue it earns from selling advertising on their profile pages. Individuals or brands that sell that real estate themselves can keep all of the proceeds from the ads."


"This is a firing shot in social media," Gross told The Huffington Post. "Finally, the interests of the content creators are aligned with the interests of the publisher because they get something for their hard work."

Chime.in, according to its support pages, was “was created for people who are active in social media and looking for a way to engage in conversations and more deeply interact with content related to their interests”.

How is Chime.in different from existing social networks?

This is what the support pages of Chime.In tells us about its some features.
All other social networks are all about connecting with people. Chime.in is about connecting with interests and people – it’s an interest network. It lets you tailor the content you see and search for to the topics you care about, so you aren’t bogged down sorting through posts you aren’t interested in.

Chime.in is also designed to create a richer social experience by integrating multimedia and making it easy join interest-based communities and to engage in real-time conversation.

Why would someone use Chime.in instead of dominant social networks like Facebook and Twitter?

- One of the great things about social media is that you’re free to use any platform you want. Chime.in was created to address the need for relevance in social media. As such, it wasn’t designed to replace any networks, but to enhance the social media experience with a platform tailored to a clear, specific need.

Given that we allow people to publish Chimes to Facebook, Twitter and Google+, we fully expect not to replace other networks, but to be additive to the ecosystem.
