Peoplestring Review: Waste of time?
Have you seen all the ads pounding status updates on Facebook and flowing through your tweets on Twitter?
(Since writing this post I’ve seen that they’ve kind of died down. THANK GOD!)
It seems like everyone on my friend and following lists are plastering up these ads, what about you?
If you’ve been wondering what it’s about it’s free to check it out and it even pays you to use it. You receive $.50 for each person you refer to Peoplestring and you receive an instant earning of $1.50 for filling out a survey for Peoplestring.
The pay is minimal, but the idea is that you receive back a portion of the company’s earnings. If you use Facebook you have seen the ads on the side that relate to your interests or content of the page you are on. The proceeds of all these ads go to Facebook. With Peoplestring they pay you a portion of the revenue. And just like Facebook you only see content related to your interests.
Peoplestring has a few interesting features that are appealing. Messages are self-destructing, meaning that there is no record of it on any computer or server. You and the receiver are the only ones that are able to see the messages. Emails are able to contain video, and you have the ability to see when an email has been read.
Peoplestring is compatible with IM services such as AIM, Yahoo and MSN. You can log into multiple screen names at one time while logged into the Peoplestring IM.
How Long Will Peoplstring Last?
The compensation from Peoplestring has benefits of an MLM. When active members that you have referred generate a commission for themselves, you also receive a portion of the revenue they created. Just like an MLM there are different levels of compensation.
So is Peoplestring worth your time? Well, it’s free to join so you can take it for a test drive. If you are looking for an opportunity to make money and don’t need the resources Peoplestring provides, I advise against joining Peoplestring. However, if you find a need for the services, then you can earn extra cash for using something you already use and need.
Will Peoplestring last? Well, since they are paying out their profits to the people who are referring friends to their site (instead of reinvesting it back into advancements for their company and their website) they certainly won’t be able to keep up with the advancements and changes that Facebook does. Since people will prefer to use the social media platform that gives them the most interaction and uses they will always migrate to what is cutting edge. (With Facebook being the #2 most visited site in the world I don’t see people going to a different one any time soon,,, you can see where Peoplestring.com ranks by clicking here)
Take note ahead of time, if you earn less than $25 in a month with Peoplestring, your check will not be issued. It will roll over each month until you reach the minimum $25 before they send you a check. And you must remain an active member by logging in at least once a month or you lose your account and your money. But since Peoplestring is something you can use everyday, that shouldn’t be a worry.
Since Peoplestring is free to join it’s my suggestion you read about “free to join” and other MLM advertising lines.

Thanks for your insight! I’ve been thinking about joining and you really helped me understand what PeopleString is all about! Thanks!
Thanks for the review. PeopleString is not a waste of time for me because after all it’s a free social site and I’ve learn a lot of online marketing stuffs from other members there. I’m also a free non-US/Canada member from Asia based in the Philippines. So far I enjoyed their program, and also already got paid and my friends in Japan and Bahrain also got their earnings and reflected on their Alertpay account.
Thanks for your comment. It’s my understanding that since I wrote this review that Peoplestring has made several changes and additions. Obviously a few people are making some money with it. However, it pays out very little. Anything that is free to join cannot pay out very much. It takes just as much effort to make a large commission as it does to make a small one, and the commissions with Peoplestring are small and there has to be many of them to add up to a substantial commission.
I just read where the peoplestring corporation just sign up with some marketing company, Cameo Stars? – I guess they’re hooked up with Carmen Electra and other celebrities and movie companies. Something must be rockin’ with that company.
