Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hot Spot Social?
Hot Spot Social is a social networking community combining
communication tools like blogs, forums, chat and instant messaging
with cool features like music and video sharing. These social
networking tools allow you to share your thoughts and ideas, brand
yourself, and build networks of people to help you climb the
corporate ladder, build a business, meet new friends, and maybe even
find the love of your life.
What does it cost to join?
There is no cost to join Hot Spot Social. We have made 98% of
our services free to use and free to grow. We do offer 1 advanced
level of membership and a below average rate that allows members
with business interest to take advantage of private forums and
classifieds advertising. It also creates a potential for our loyal
members to earn income sending others to our free to use social
network.
What is a Hot Spot?
Hot Spots are basically a banner award members put on their
own off site blogs and websites pointing here to read member reviews
and get additional information about the website or program. Members
may also send Hot Spot awards to any site they see as interesting
and review on their blogs and I the forums. Web masters gain
exposure by placing the code on their websites so other Hot Spot
Social members can surf the web and know which sites our members
prefer. Just think about it. If you are shopping online would you
rather trust Joe Schmo you don't know or a online store that your
friends and fellow community members have given a bright red thumbs
up?
Affiliate Program?
Yes we have a great affiliate program in house. Members like
you can earn from sending people to Hot Spot Social and we will
teach you how to do that and get paid. Now before you start saying I
don't want to be a SPAMMER we don't allow SPAM. From your favorite
social sites to your blog and profile pages you send friends and
family, and just about anyone you meet to your profile daily.
Popular sites like MySpace make millions of dollars in advertising
each year off this traffic the only difference is they don't pay you
a dime to do it. We do. We pay you to spread the word about Hot Spot
Social, as an affiliate you get paid when anyone you bring to the
site upgrades to a paid position to take advantage of classifieds
advertising etc..
Do I have to be an affiliate and promote Hot Spot Social?
Nope many members will just focus on profiles and
relationships and that's cool with us. Every word typed improves our
rankings and gives more topics of interest to draw members like a
magnet to Hot Spot Social. Now knowing that your actions are going
to make Hot Spot grow even if you are not getting paid for it, we
believe that over 80% of all members will take advantage of the
affiliate program, especially when their friends receive a paycheck
that could have been theirs. Again we train you on how to promote
Hot Spot Social without SPAMMING anyone.
Can I advertise my websites and blogs here?
Yes, as long as they are not illegal by US law, and are not
porn related, hate related, or abusive, you are welcome to promote
your website on your profile page and in your blog. What we do not
allow is open posting of links in messages and forums etc.. Forum
signatures may contain a link but each post and reply should be good
content and not an advertisement for your business. You may not use
the IM, PM, or shout box to share links of any type. Member messages
may only contain a link if the party receiving the link asked to
receive it prior to the e-mail being sent.
Do you have a SPAM Policy?
Yes SPAM or the sending of unsolicited messages containing for
profit links such as advertising or affiliate URLs is prohibited for
advertising Hot Spot and also prohibited advertising other programs
on our site. Please read the terms of service if you are confused on
the policies. When in doubt don't send it out.
How do I contact Admin?
The first step to contacting admin is always via forum. We
have a help forum set up to post issues of a public nature such as
site failures, MySQL messages etc.. For messages of a private nature
send a e-mail to zeus8894@esladvertising.com
. Private nature would include reporting flaming and abuse, and
reports of inappropriate or adult messages and SPAM. Please make use
of the reporting tools for images etc.. and try to resolve disputes
before making a claim against other users. For general support
issues like how do I questions always check to see if that topic has
been addressed and if needed post a forum.
Admin didn't reply to my message?
Folks, I admin 5 websites and also am the advertising manager
for Easy Search Live. My daily mail is 500+ and writing a reply is
not always possible. Please be assured I check messages daily and
will act on genuine support issues on a first come first serve
basis. As we grow I will assign moderators as needed to help with
support, but again we will not answer all messages and will deem
what actions are needed and take action based on our decided
recourse.
Hot Spot Social is a great community, your feedback is valued
and our future is truly in your hands. Make Hot Spot Social the best
ever by playing by the rules and helping us weed out repeat
violators.
