Frequently Asked Questions


 
What is Gypsy Bug?

GypsyBug is a FREE Classified Advertising company. The concept is to have a family safe web site where you can advertise or promote anything as long as it there is NO adult content. Our goal is to help bring "Family Values" to the Internet.

How long will my ad be free?
When you place a free ad with GypsyBug, your ad will remain for 30 days. At that time you may resubmit your ad at no cost. You may submit as many ads as you like in as many categories as you would like.

How can I earn money with GypsyBug?
When you become a GypsyBug Franchisee, in essence you become your own GypsyBug.com advertising company. This gives you the ability to sell family safe advertising and make a very good profit! In addition your income is residual when people or businesses renew their ads each month. As a GypsyBug.com owner you will also get paid a franchise fee for any paid ad in your region regardless of how they found GypsyBug.com or who sold them their ad.
For a limited time, if you can show that you have the ability to spend 1 hr per day promoting your company, we will pay for your start up cost ($24.95) along with 25 cents for every free ad that you place through your storefront (up to 100 ads per month per franchise).

Are there any start-up costs for becoming a GypsyBug Franchisee?
When you enroll in the Franchise program for just $24.95 per month, this includes your unlimited premium advertiser status along with your franchise fee the ability to earn limitless income by selling advertising anywhere in the US and Canada. In addition you will receive a monthly franchise fee for all paid ads within your franchise region regardless of who sold the ad. Your first month includes your window sticker, flyers and forms at no additional cost. Your monthly fee also includes Monday to Friday phone support for you and your customers.

Do I have to refer 3 other members to make money on the window sticker portion of this program?
No! This is an old program that was abused by a number of people. This created a lot of angry people that were misinformed so we eliminated the program completely.

How do I know that I will make enough money to cover all of my costs as my business grows?
GypsyBug.com will help you build your inventory of ads in your area by paying you 25 cents for every new advertiser that you introduce to your site by placing their FREE ad for them. If you place 100 free ads each month, we are paying you $25 on the first. In addition if you refer another franchisee through your storefront, you will receive $12 each month. If you take advantage of the limited time "We cover your cost" sign-up...there is no reason to ever have a dime come out of your pocket. Even though you are paying $24.95 each month...we are giving you the ability to receive the income from us first! No other company is so certain that you will make money that they would offer to pay you while you build up your own company.
