Does this work?

Hi! The other day a dude (marketer who thought I was oblivious) made an account on messenger (it could probably work on facebook too), put a photo of a girl (non professional, so made it more belivable. Then he said something really cheesy like "Hey I want to talk to someone, you interested?? " and then he asked my age, where I lived, etc. and then he said "wanna play on cam?" bla bla "you can see me on insertdatingsite.com" and then I said no, and he bothered me for like 5 mins untill he quit.

I wonder if this method would work work with incentivized offers and then just outsource this work to some people.

It would be needed like 15-20 mins to get 1 lead (5$~), if you work 2 hours a day only doing this it would make like more than 30$ a day profit.

Has anyone ever heard about this method? Anyone tried it? How good is it? Opinions?!

        Maybe not illegal but what about the the idea from a moral perspective? You are some "fat, 40 year old, balding, ugly dude"* pretending to be a hot 20 year old chick leading desperate guys onto some site, acquire a lead and make some $$$. Could understand if someone badly needed cash.


        * I am sure you are the totally the opposite!

    If you outsource it, would the person not leave you and go and work for themselves since it is so easy.

    But still, the who thing seems spammy.

      I don't think so about the outsourcing since most people aren't aware of this... Plus I could outsource it to my brother, give him 1$ a lead, he would probably accept it

      Yeah, it's spammy but specially in incentivized traffic a lot of ways to make money are kinda mean. There is the sports live stream stuff where you have to spam other live streams to get them to your site, content locking that doesn't give you the content that you wanted, etc.

      Lets see what other warriors have to say

    I don't think it'll work.
    I've worked with built landers for dating sites, javascript chat window and amateur girl photo. Of course it's not as believable as a real person, but the outcome will be the same, as soon as you put a link in front of people and it seems fishy, they'll just ignore you and shut you down.

    For me it wasn't that good experience because most of the people just close the window as soon as they see it.

      It can work if you can build rapport / trust with the guy on the other end. But that is not possible in 5 minutes, they will know something fishy is going on. If someone can spend l30 minutes to 1 hour chatting on messenger or whatever, it can work but is that cost effective for the time put in?

        Exactly..to waste 30 mins, 1 hour for one lead?
        Your time could be better spent.

      Is it possible to outsource this to someone in Asia and pay them $2 or something for an hours work? (And hope they don't decide to go work for themselves).
