Thanks a ton !"
"Well, I am both a marketer and a participant on PayItTo me, so I was happy to discover this discussion and this site.
First a little background...
I, like many, discovered PayItToMe via Techcrunch, and decided to give it a try. I knew that most advertisers weren't gonna touch a wish that was too expensive in relation to an untested advertising model, so I decided to go small and unique--a 30 pack of Bud Light ($22.99 USD). Predictably, ads posted after mine were mostly composed of iPhones and other pricey gadgets.
Within 24 hours, my wish had been granted by a small web business operator. Another guy's wish for Halo 3 (about $50) was also granted by the operator of another small business. After that, the next few weeks were uneventful on the wish granted side, save for someone's Heroe's DVD and a couple other relatively cheap wishes.
But as the site gained publicity and its traffic has increased, so has the quantity, quality, and frequency of the wishes that have been granted. 2 iPhones and a Playstation 3 are among the some dozen items purchased by advertisers...
...And for you skeptics out there--no, it's not a scam. My Bud Light was quite real and quite refreshing...."
"This site has the potential to be something really cool. I think the opportunity for advertisers to connect to their audience is deeper than it appears on the surface. Rather than spending money on ad space, paying bloggers directly, etc., advertisers can appeal to a mass audience based on what wish they fulfill. It makes total sense that an artist would buy somebody an iPhone. I'm curious as to how much this "ad buy" increased traffic to the artists site. This is a young concept with a lot of potential..."
"This site is such a awesome idea, and I think it is a great way for advertisers to really connect with the people they are trying to reach..."
"This is a really cool concept and may become something huge..."
HeLLo everybody !
But first of all, I want to apologize for my poor English…a real disaster I know :-) I don’t speak English fluently (I speak French), and I hope you’ll understand everything in my concept description.
My name is Renaud (Reno for my friends) and I write to you from Brussels, in Belgium (Europe). I’m 30 years old, and I work for my municipal authorities (in social assistance).
I have created Payittome for this reason :
I love creating original, totally bizarre, powerfull and strange methods to promote websites on the web...something that can cause a "buzz phenomenon" on internet. It’s why I have imagined Payittome, a new kind of "viral marketing" concept. In general, people like what is uncommon and very strange...so, this blog can be a good example of what is made on internet (in this category)...

- The photo of the item you paid will be uploaded on my homepage with the Blogger small size option.
- Your paid item will be visible on my homepage during a period of minimum 15 days.
- This is the item you paid that will focus attention on you : of course high amounts will catch more attention than the low ones.
