Moolala<\/a> is the most recent opportunity that I have been offered that operates like Grupon<\/a> or LivingSocial Deals<\/a>. \u00a0Businesses offer reduced rates on services or goods; \u00a0I am offered the opportunity to purchase them. \u00a0Grupon offers me $10 if I refer friends. \u00a0From Grupon’s website:<\/p>\n

We’re giving $10 in Groupon Bucks for every friend you refer when they make their first purchase. It’s our way of saying “thanks” for spreading the word and increasing our collective buying power! Groupon Bucks can be used toward any Groupon purchase, and they never expire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LivingSocial offers my deal for free if I share my purchase and at least three people buy it:<\/p>\n

Share for a Free Deal<\/strong>
\nAfter you buy the deal, you’ll get a unique link to share. If three people buy the deal using your link, then your deal is\u00a0free.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s Moolala’s pitch:<\/p>\n

\n
There’s more – we want to help you make money, too!<\/div>\n
We will give you 2% back on each deal you buy. And for each friend you refer to Moolala, you will earn 2% of every deal they buy. And that’s not all: we’ll pay you 2% for each friend they refer, and again for your friends’ friends’ friends and your friends’ friends’ friends’ friends. It’s a 2% five-level reward system. That adds up to lots of rewards for you and your friends.<\/div>\n
Use your rewards to buy the Moolala deals you love or even redeem them for cash. It’s up to you.<\/div>\n
So start inviting friends and earning rewards now.<\/div>\n

Whenever I see “we’ll pay you based on your friends’ friends” , \u00a0I immediately think, \u00a0“pyramid selling and chain letters.” \u00a0It appears Moolala is an Austin based business that was formed in 2010. \u00a0Here’s the LinkedIn\u00a0reference.<\/a> I joined Moolala to help \u00a0my missionary, traveler friend receive his 2% should I make a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n

My least favorite is the LivingSocial offer. \u00a0I’m not sure I know three people that would make the same purchases as I would make. \u00a0My choice is between the immediate $10 of Grupon or a potentional stream of 2% commissions of Moolala. \u00a0The Grupon offer seems more bird in the hand to me, so I would choose Grupon. \u00a0Except, what if all of my friends have already signed up? \u00a0Then I think that there’s “no soup for me.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see which company is most rewarded by the market place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
