Okay, I’m not really too sure what eMax is all about. The concept is about using large numbers of people as leverage “to obtain truly compelling prices from some of the most popular national chain stores, restaurants, and service providers.” The site is still in beta and there’s not much to do besides sign up.
The only compelling reason for me to join was that you only need a name and e-mail address to sign up and they offer you 3 free shares in their company. The shares may be essentially worthless not, but this reminds me of the time TravelZoo offered free shares and they survived the dot com bust. People who signed up for the free shares promotion are sitting on a small windfall of $500 to $1600.
Okay, back to eMax. You get 3 free shares for signing up with just a name and e-mail address. You also then get 1 share per referral. You can have a maximum of 10 shares so you can refer 7 other people for 7 additional shares.
Also, sign up for the iPod raffle giveaway so you can “double dip”. Each member you refer will net you a free share and another free ticket into the ipod raffle. Right now I’m not counting on the shares being worth anything, but rather more at the chance to win an ipod. eMax looks like it will be interesting if it pans out.
I chose to participate because it costs nothing, only required my name and e-mail… and might turn out interesting in the future.
