Twas the Day before Christmas!

‘Twas the day before Christmas, and all through the land,

Noobers were clicking, and feeling quite grand;

For the rotator was chugging, plum plugging-away,

And sure to keep humming, throughout Christmas Day;

The ads were winning, creating crazy-biz-buzz,

All fetching and eye-catching, like a good ad does;

Now the Noobers weren’t lazy, of course they would not slack,

With cheer of the season, they still gave helpful feedback;

Then the day was upon them, and a shout of community might,

“Merry Christmas to all—and go Noobing tonight!

From the Noobing family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Finally! The last four Questions and Answers from the November 24 Web Seminar:

What are the processing times for the different payment types?
Good question. In a perfect world your transaction would’ve posted yesterday. But just to be realistic…please allow 3-5 business days for credit card purchases, and allow 5-10 business days for Automated Clearing House (ACH) and Solid Trust Pay (STP) electronic transactions.

Do I need a 1099 form and how do I get one?
If Noobing is required by the IRS to submit a 1099 for you, the form will be sent automatically at the end of the year. If you don’t need one—we won’t send you one!

Does Noobing keep a site inventory so I don’t see the same ads over and over again?
Noobing does keep an inventory of sites, but just like T.V., you’re eventually going to see the same ads over and over and over...but we try not to show you the same ad more than once every few days.

How should I determine the amount of Noobing credits to purchase?
We’ll answer that question with a question. Do you have an advertising budget for your business?

Thanks for all of the great questions—we’ll update you on any webinars in the future!

Another Three Questions Answered from the November 24 Web-seminar (We're Getting Near the End!):

How long does Solid Trust Pay take to post?
Three (3) business days as long as the proper information is given (name and ID) in the details section of the STP transaction—the user must also then click “continue” to ensure that the info is captured in the system.

How long does it take to process ACH and W9 forms?
The typical process time is five (5) business days.

Does Noobing use Alert Pay?
No.

Noobing Christmas

Dear Noobers, My words can hardly express how much I appreciate our generous Noobing community—one that has come together during this wonderful season to help those that are less fortunate. During December 5th and December 14th Noobing LLC has raised over $1,000 dollars for Noobing Christmas and the Compassion Foundation. The first person to donate to the cause was W. Scott Brinkman, and again I can hardly convey how much I appreciate this initial gift. As a thank you to all who gave from our community, I am going to contribute a $1,000 dollar gift. I pray that as we continue to help these foundations we will also continue to see an overwhelming response in giving by our community. From the Noobing Family to yours, have a great Christmas Holiday!

Like we’ve said before, Noobing always strives to improve.

And here’s a way to make your live feedback more effective for the advertisers whose sites you view—right now!

As you’re Noobing, you can tell advertisers specifically what you like or what you don’t like about their websites. It’s simple. Along with the required star rating, you have the ability to let them know what you think—so they can optimize their sites’ effectiveness.

These categories are available in the “Flag this site?” drop down box:

1. Annoying Sound
You may appreciate that cool Space Invaders’ laser sound on your 1980’s video game website, or your cuddly canine’s Monday morning bark on your veterinarian business’ site—but do others? Now you’ll know whether to keep it, change it, or kick it.

2. Error on Site
Spelling or grammar issues, links that don’t work or other problems. Let ‘em know!

3. Inappropriate Site
This is a family show—need you say more?

4. Not a Product or a Service.
Ever get tired of the phony promises, rambling rackets and bunk blueprints for a lifetime of E-Z happiness? Flag the flimflam.

5. Site Blocked
Did a 300 pound football lineman prevent you from making it to the line of scrimmage? No, there was a technical error that stopped you from viewing the site with the prompt, “Site Blocked.” The website owner will probably want to know, if they don’t know already.

6. Site has Pop Ups
Let the advertiser know that those pop ups are just as annoying as that Jack-in-the-Box your little brother wouldn’t stop playing with when you were kids. Aarrgghh!

7. Site Loads Slowly
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock…you don’t have all day. You have business to attend to!

8. Site Not Found Error
This should be self explanatory—did they get to see your “World’s Greatest Online Baseball Card Collection?” Doubtful.

Don’t take the power of live feedback lightly. Real time constructive criticism will help all advertisers in the Noobing community—you and them!

But please, save these flags for sites that really deserve them. We constantly monitor these ratings and use them to remove sites from the rotator. We have to review every one…and wouldn’t you prefer that we concentrate on adding more cool new features?

Here are three more questions and answers from the Noobing web-seminar on November 24:

Is Noobing open to advertisers outside of the United States?
Noobing does not currently have a license to operate outside of the U.S., but the global market is where we’re headed!

What are the percentages being paid?
Noobing dishes out Site Reviewer Payments--the percentage you earn will vary!

Is there a plan for a half star rating system?
Not at this time.

Webinar Questions Answered--Better Late than Never!

We realize that the Noobing web-seminar was held way back on November 24, but it generated so much interest from our community that we decided to post some of the participant’s questions along with our answers.

Since we don’t want to bombard you with all of them at once, we’ll post them three at a time:

Does Noobing record the web-seminars to reference in the future?
The first Noobing web-seminar was not recorded. It will be determined on a case by case basis whether or not future sessions are to be recorded.

Can Noobing pledge due diligence regarding the legality of its practices?
Yes, Noobing has engaged four separate law firms to review our offerings. Each of these firms are very knowledgeable in all legal matters including internet marketing.

Can you use Noobing to grow your primary business?

Of course, the answer is “Yes!”

Please check back with us for more web-seminar questions and answers!

NOOBING MISSION “HEARD” LOUD AND CLEAR AT 2008 DEAF EXPOS

The hearing impaired community is not deaf to the call of enterprise—in fact, it is something this unique sector in the business world perceives with resounding clarity.

Phenomenal response to Noobing at several Deaf Expos in 2008 has proven this, as hearing impaired business professionals from around the country attended the conventions held in 15 U. S. cities.

Noobing Sales Manager, Jim Beach, who is a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult) and fluent in American Sign Language, made his way to recent events in New Jersey, Kansas, Texas and Missouri to connect with the often overlooked hearing impaired business community. And Noobing was a hit at each.

During the events, Jim spent his time openly communicating with the attendees, many of whom waited patiently in long lines just for a chance to check out Noobing. “I had a blast interacting with such tightly knit and attentive audiences,” he explained.

“Actually, it was exhilarating. The natural bond these people share creates a unique energy, one that has become essential in conquering the challenges they face. And, as business owners and working professionals, they understand that their voice is not always broadcast effectively in the world of business and advertising. The excitement they bring to change this inequity is amazing.”

Enter Noobing.

“Business owners within the Deaf Nation understand that with Noobing, their community can no longer be ignored,” affirmed Jim. “They’ll be heard loud and clear.”

Jim will continue his Noobing work as he travels to more Deaf Expos throughout 2009.

Ad Sale--through December 14th!

Noobing wants you to get more “bang” for your “buck.”

Normally on Noobing.com, one dollar sends one reviewer (who is also a potential customer) to your website—along with the useful feedback they provide about your site. That’ll always be a great value.

But now, that same “buck” gets you three visitors to your site!

That’s right, we’re lowering the ad credit price to give you three reviewers for a $1 credit—and you’ll receive this discounted price on all ad credits you purchase between December 1st and 14th.

Why are we doing this?

Because we want you to take advantage of everything that Noobing has to offer. Never before has a marketing community actually had its own voice, one that can influence advertising, transform products, improve services and boost your bottom line.

It’s simple. The Noobing community has the ability to control its own destiny—now that’s a long term value that can’t be beat. Jump on our bus before it leaves you in the dust!

In case you need another reason to check out Noobing: 1% of all Noobing sales between December 5th and 14th will be donated to Compassion Inc., an outreach dedicated to helping impoverished children around the world. Details of Compassion’s many programs can be seen at www.noobingdonations.com.
