Get Paid to View Ads – Again

There’s been a lot of ideas over the years which have centred around paying people to view ads. People tend to get excited about the prospect and think this could be something that catches on – but it never really does. Have the incentives been too little? Have they not been packaged up the right way? Do the ad companies have an advertising issue? Or do people still just not want to have anything to do with ads… This week, another “pay to view” ad system came along called Locket that once again sounds smart and looks promising. Locket uses your lock screen on your (android) phone to display ads. Swipe left and users can be taken to an additional web experience from the brand, swipe right and you enter your standard keypad password. Either way, each engagement earns you one cent to your connected paypal account.
