Let me explain, and this is a lot of the problem is many do not take the time to learn as it is complicated, you do earn pre-coins for posting, these are used for upgrades, and there is other tasks posting, liking is what a new user starts with, then bidding and listing an item for sale.
Once you complete your amount of tasks for the day 2 posts and 25 likes (shares) for a new person, then you get to spin a wheel that pops up and you can win coins.
If you only do part of the posts, and part of the likes (shares) then you are right, you only earn pre-coins.
But if you do complete the daily tasks, you can earn plenty on the wheel as the idea behind the required posting and sharing is that many sellers build their business on empowr and by encouraging the posting and sharing those sellers pages are seen more often encouraging more items to sell.
In order to encourage sales the site is willing to give out coins to encourage the activity on the pages. If you are spinning the wheel daily you can do very well , purchase an upgrade and your winnings on the wheel can increase up to 500%
What's really fantastic is you can post/share and spin the wheel, when you win the coins you can spend them in the marketplace or transfer them out and sell them on the exchange. You actually get more value buying items as many do not know how to price the items to the price of the coin so you wind up with some great deals!
You do come across some who are disgruntled as the site used to pay straight to PayPal and some older members are not understanding how to price their items like I said and they are not happy thinking they are losing money as to the price of the coin.
This is really irrelevant-- if you are a seller and you ask the right amount of coins + profit + shipping for your items -- when you sell them on the exchange then you get your $ value and there is lots of eager buyers there!!!
The marketplace is growing and improving every day as new features are put in, it is a great place to build a business, I have been selling there successfully for 10 years and love the quick sales! Starting your item at auction for close to the amount you want is the best way to sell on empowr.
Starting in Jan, buyers will be able to put the link to the item they want and put how much they are willing to pay for the item.
Wow! This beats the copy/paste system of trying to sell like they teach you putting Amazon links on ebay as you never know what will sell and what won't.In Jan there is going to be a huge amount of buyers that you will know exactly what they are looking for!
This marketplace is also bringing in merchants in the coming new year, so watch out! I am buying up all the empowr coin I can get my hands on at the value now because this coin is going to explode when you can use your coins to buy pizza from your local pizza delivery! Give it a try it does not cost anything to join
