I am proposing an unconventional way of fund raising. This is primarily to earn more money for the continuing construction of the San Rafael Parish Chapel in San Rafael, Tarlac City, Philippines.
Target: Every active parishioner of San Rafael Parish Chapel with an Internet connection at home.
How: By joining in http://www.myLot.com
How does myLot work?
You participate in discussions by either starting your own discussions or by commenting on other discussions.
Overview of earnings
You will earn around 0.40cents for 50 quality posts a day. The earnings are updated daily. "Quality posts" means at least 3 lines of comments to a discussion or a new discussion that many users will comment on.
By "3 lines", that means 3 lines on the text area where you write your discussion, not how it appears on the screen after you posted it. By "many" that's relative, expect a good discussion to reach up to 40 comments and will span to 5 pages.
How do myLot members get paid?
The payment mode is through PayPal. That means that the Parish will have to acquire a PayPal account (free) and a bank account to withdraw the money from PayPal.
But not all parishioners have PayPal!
Right now that doesn't matter. This is primarily a parishioner's labor of love. This is an additional means to contribute to the parish. If the parishioner wants to get a PayPal account to cashout his personal earnings, it's free for him to get one. However, to become a myLot member and to contribute to the San Rafael Parish Chapel's fund raising, this is not required. You can easily update your myLot account when you have created your PayPal account. That means that even though you still don't have a PayPal account, you are already earning through your myLot participation.
So how does the fund raising work? How will that help the parish?
Do I have to surrender my earnings to the San Rafael Parish?
NO. You get to keep your own earnings for yourself. The Parish will earn from its referral link. That means that you HAVE to use the Parish's referral link. That will NOT deduct any of your personal earnings. Tha Parish will earn 25% of what you will earn. Note that you will also increase your earnings by increasing your own referrals. HOWEVER, please don't steal referrals from the Parish because even though the Parish will STILL earn from those who took your referral link (since it earns 25% of your earnings), it will earn much less than if that person took the Parish's referral link directly.
Let's do the math.
Let's say that a hundred parishioners join myLot, all under the Parish's referral link. If each of those parishioners was to participate with 150 quality posts every week (which is either 50 posts a day for 3 days in a week or 10 posts everyday after you come home from school or work), then that would mean 1.20$ earning per parishioner and 30cents earning of the Parish per parishioner per week. That would sum up to $30 per week or Php1,350. In a month, that would accumulate to $120 or Php5400. That's not enough to finish the Parish Chapel construction but it will help and that's only the start. We can earn more if we have more people participating.
Will the parish now how much I'm contributing?
YES. I'm a Computer Science graduate of the Ateneo de Manila University. I'm currently working on a program that will let the Administrator know if you've been doing your homework or not.
Will my soul burn in hell if I don't accomplish the *strongly suggested* number of posts?
Of course not! But then it's not like we meet people from hell to confirm that.
Will I go to heaven if I do this?
Come on, people! We've all learned about how selling indulgences in the olden times led to the restructing of the Catholic Church and the separation of Protestantism. We're past that era now.
