Introducing RapalaNation.com "RapCash" ! « Thread Started on Jun 14, 2009, 4:42pm »
Ok folks, let's see if we can get this to work!
Basically for each post you make, you receive $5 in 'RapCash'. Fairly soon I will post items that you can 'purchase' that will have a $ value in RapCash attached to it. Basically once you acquire a certain amount, you are eligible for FREE STUFF based on how much RapCash you have, and how much and item is.
And this doesn't cost anyone a dime...except for me.
Why am I doing this? Well to be quite honest I am doing to in hopes of encouraging more posts, more members, and more exposure.
As of now the lowest priced item will be $1000 in RapCash and up. Of course, I do reserve the right to raise or lower this as I see fit. Also any and all items & 'prices' are subject to change without notice.
There are other ways you can accumulate RapCash faster, by the way. This isnt exactly scientific, and in order for this to work I'll have to keep a close eye on what type of content is posted. Here's what I mean:
-refer a friend or someone to the site = $50
-refer a site that eventually leads to a RapalaNation.com link on their site = $100
-get another site to post a RapalaNation.com link = $200
You can also ask to give RapCash to someone else, just let me know if you'd like to reward someone for a great trade, etc.
And generally any other way I see fit - if someone posts a great tackle deal for everyone to take advantage of, then that would be another way to get rewarded.
And I think that covers it for now. If anyone has any suggestions on other ideas or categories that qualify for RapCash, let me know.
Ok folks - now for every $1000 in RapCash you rack up, you're eligible for a 'NEW & FREE' Rapala lure! What I have in stock varies too greatly to list specific lure models and colors, but if you tell me a lure model or color you're in need of, I'll send you the best that I have!
New Rapala lure - $1000
Rare Rapala Stickers & Decals - $500 each [b]

Well since I'm not eligible...and I'll be the one doling it out...I guess I'm the banker, of sorts...
I don't know if it will get us new members...I've certainly been trying, but if we can get the existing members to get involved, then its all worth it...
looks good to me ted, it would be great to get more people talking, think your doing all you can , the site is good just need more traffic
Thank you sir...I still need to add the Berkley Electic Fillet Knife set too... so let's see how this goes.
I didn't want to make these too easy to attain - after all, most of this is coming out of my own pocket. But the more you post, the sooner you folks will start racking it up

Also I just thought I'd let everyone know that later this summer Jan Eggers will be sending me some items that will be added here - so no doubt there will be some items here that you will definitely want.
That depends....as of right now since a good amount of this is coming out of my own pocket, we'll have to see how it goes.
The 'inventory' will constantly be changing, depending on what I have...and since no one is really near $1000, I don't have to worry about it just yet...
