What in the world is ePIPO all about?
ePIPO is all about having fun while making some money. ePIPO will pay its Surf
Partners 60 cents per hour to simply surf the web. That's right, we actually
pay you to surf the web. In return, all you do is run the ePIPO SurfWindow on
your computer, and occasionally glance at the ads that are displayed (if you
don't glance periodically, we promise we won't tell anyone). The SurfWindow
is not much bigger than a typical banner advertisement, and you can move it
around anywhere on your computer screen. We don't want to interrupt how you
surf, or where you surf, we just want to provide you with advertising that is
relevant to you. And, in the meantime, you get to make money...not a bad deal.
To put it simply, ePIPO is the first company in the Permission-Based, Viral-Marketing
space.
Can't I make more than just $.60 per hour?
Absolutely, you can sign up other Surf Partners, and then earn 10 cents per
hour for anytime that they surf the web, and can also earn 10 cents per hour
for anyone they sign up. That works up to 5 levels (quick, do the math in your
head) so you can see that your potential for earning money can grow rather fast.
In fact, if you sign up two people, who then sign up two people, etc. down to
five levels, you will have 62 surf partners beneath you (figuratively speaking,
that is). If each of those people surfs just an hour per day, you will earn
over $200 per month. Not bad for just being a mouse potato. But don't just stop
at signing up 2 people; you can do better than that.
Is this a pyramid scheme?
Yeah, that's exactly what it is. First we invite you over to our house for dinner,
then we pull out a big white board and start drawing circles on it, all the
while you are trapped in our house...NO! It's nothing like a pyramid scheme,
what kind of a dumb question is that? Actually, it isn't that bad of a question.
The coolest thing about ePIPO is that it doesn't change anything that you already
do. You don't have to visit different sites, you don't have to use a different
browser, you don't have to spend any money or buy anything and you don't have
to attend meetings every Tuesday night. It's just a cool little application
that sits on your computer, counting your money as you surf the web...that's
all.
Is this going to cost me anything?
Nope, not a dime. You can cancel at any time, and you can open and close the
ePIPO SurfWindow whenever you want. If you want to surf the web without the
SurfWindow visible, just close it. You won't be earning any money, but we promise,
there are no strings attached.
Okay, I like what I hear so far. But what the heck does ePIPO stand for?
I'm glad you finally asked. ePIPO is taken from the Greek word epipolos, which
means "companion." If you want to know the truth, it's a cool sounding word,
and we thought the whole Greek connection would make us sound smarter to our
friends. (It isn't working so far.)
Now, can you explain to me how to
pronounce ePIPO?
It's a cool word, but you have to pronounce it right. It is pronounced
/ee'pipp'oe/ E - as in e-mail. PIP
- Think Gladys Knight. O - As in, "oh my gosh."
That's it, ePIPO. Got it?
Do you have any limitations on what I can make?
Yeah, we promise that you won't become as rich as Bill Gates by using ePIPO. Actually, we
do have three different limitations:
That's it, no other limitations. It's really pretty simple.
How do I actually get my money?
As soon as you acquire $35.00, you can come and cash in your points. Do that
by coming to the Current ePIPO Customers area, and simply cash them in. You
will get a check within 30 days (probably a lot sooner, but we don't want to
promise anything that we aren't sure we can fulfill). If you want to save up
your cash, you are more than welcome to do that as well. In the near future
you will also be able to use your earned cash for major discounts on merchandise
or for a free computer or free Internet access. More to come on that subject.
For the months of January and February, we will be sending checks
automatically to all those that qualify. In order to qualify you must have had
the SurfWindow for at least 60 days and have $35.00 in your account. We will
notify you at the first of the month if you will be receiving a check that month.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please email payment@epipo.com.
Cool, I'm going to spam everyone on AOL with this great new idea!
Don't even think about it, dorkwad. We hate spammers; they are the lowest life
form on earth (well, they may be one notch above old men in hats, driving 35
in the fast lane, but they are pretty low). We have just one recommendation
if you are thinking about sending unsolicited e-mail...DON'T!. ePIPO is a very
cool, very hip, and very responsible company. We don't want some bozo out there
soiling our good name. If we hear that you are spamming, we'll yank your membership
and you will forfeit all accumulated points. We're very serious about this.
If you want to report some lame spammer, drop us a line at: spamdork@epipo.com.

How does ePIPO use the information they collect from me?
ePIPO's primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with
a customized experience. This includes displaying for you (in the ePIPO SurfWindow)
advertising that is relevant to you. In other words, if you are a 27 year-old,
software programmer, we won't be showing you a lot of ads for Depends under-garments
(unless, of course, you specifically request us to). By knowing a little bit
of information about you, ePIPO is able to bring more appropriate product solicitations
to your attention
In our role of delivering advertisements, ePIPO serves as the middleman. Advertisers give us an advertisement and tell us the type of audience they want to reach, for example, females between 25 and 35. ePIPO then delivers the advertisement to Surf Partners meeting that criteria. In this process, the advertiser never has access to individual account information. Only ePIPO has access to individual information.
We won't be selling your information to outside vendors, and we certainly won't be sending unsolicited emails to you.
What kind of computer and browser can I run ePIPO on?
Our ePIPO SurfWindow is a stand-alone application, so it will run on any Windows
based computer. We also support both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator
versions 3 and newer. This should include about 90% of those on the Internet
today. For the other 10%, we recommend that you update your browser.
Will the SurfWindow be available to AOL users?
Yes! The SurfWindow has been designed to work with AOL's service. However, to
get credit for surfing you must be using Netscape or Internet Explorer
(Version 4.0 or better). This does not include time spent in chat rooms or other
internal AOL member areas.
What if I want to buy advertising space on the ePIPO network?
If you are an advertiser, and want to investigate an advertising partnership
with ePIPO, check out our Advertisers page or just e-mail us at:
Will ePIPO be available
outside of the US?
Yes, international users can certainly join,
but we will be paying in US dollars. We will also be rolling the SurfWindow out
to US residents first, but will roll
out the SurfWindow to international users shortly thereafter. We
look forward to all of our non-US friends joining us.
Can I publish banner ads on my website
for ePIPO?
Yes you can. We have a few already completed with more to come.
How do I get started?

This form will allow you to put yourself in line to get access to the ePIPO
SurfWindow. We are currently rolling out the ePIPO Surf Window
application. It is being rolled out on a first-come, first-served
basis, beginning with our US partners. Our Canadian, Australian, and UK partners
will be next, and the rest of the World will be immediately following.
Meaning that the sooner you sign up, the sooner you will be able to start making

It is incredibly easy to install (if you are smart enough to fill out the form,
you are qualified to install our program), and once installed you are ready
to start making money. The SurfWindow will deliver you periodic advertisements,
and will also count your money for you as you surf the web.
