Socialtide can best be described as a multi-tiered social network designed for those that wish to create a life of self-sufficiency, that is to say, free of the established monetary, governmental and corporate corruption that takes place throughout the world.

Socialtide is a registered Panamanian non-profit organization and functions without limits throughout the world.

You can simply email us with your enrollment information via the email address listed on our Contact Page and we will be happy to assist you in activating your account.

All members who wish to participate in Socialtide MUST be at least 18 years of age. There are no exceptions. Any member found to be under that age of 18 will be removed from the program and their account deleted.

No sorry, you may only have one account here at Socialtide. If any member is found to have more than one account, only the oldest account of record will be retained, all other accounts will be removed, along with all commissions earned, and any members located within the given member tree will be re-allocated to the member's sponsor.

Absolutely, in fact that would be awesome if you did. The more people that come to realize the truth about what's happening in the world, the better chance we have of fixing it.

In many, many ways. First of all we're not a company, we're a Private Non-Profit Foundation, this allows us to be free of corporate collusion, and the insidious greed and corruption associated with a "for profit" business. We are dedicated to the success of our members, and we pass along 100% of all sales either directly to the members that took part in creating them, or to worthwhile organizations that align with our ideals.

Secondly, in a broad sense we could certainly be categorized as Network Marketing, but in reality, Socialtide is social networking taken to the next level. Our content is so strong and unique, that it has become a product unto itself, and membership with us has value that can't really be measured in terms of dollars. You can't "un-learn" things, once you understand how something functions, or perhaps in this case, malfunctions, it's impossible to put the Genie back in the bottle.

For a more complete understanding of Socialtide, we suggest you read our free e-book: Socialtide - The Experience, which is available as a .zip download on our homepage.

Earning money through your association with Socialtide is very simple, in fact all you need to do is invite a few people to join. Even as a free member, that is to say, a member who has not subscribed to our monthly membership product, you can earn $47.00, the price of monthly membership, for each new member that flows into the first branch of your member tree. To earn residually, you simply need to subscribe to the website yourself, and then each and every week you'll earn commissions down through seven levels of affiliates as they pay their subscriptions each month.

It's really very simple. Once again, Socialtide - The Experience explains the compensation model in it's entirety.

Socialtide is built on the principle of sound money. As such we make every attempt possible to remove the element of fiat currency and fractional reserve banking from our system. We deal strictly in digital currency that can easily be converted into real gold, the only true form of money. We currently process all payments received and sent through Liberty Reserve, S.A., a registered Costa Rican processing company.

Although the Liberty Reserve currency is backed by USD, which is fiat of course, it's backed by a 100% reserve, not a typical fractional reserve, which means your money is there when you need it. It's also very easily converted through e-currency exchangers worldwide to gold bullion.

There is no advertising allowed on Socialtide, in fact that's part of the idea here. We choose to create an environment free of distractions and outside influence that promotes the educational process and encourages activism, both within the application, and externally in your local area.

You're more than welcome to link to your personal blog or website, Facebook or YouTube page, etc., but linking to money making opportunities is not acceptable.

You can remain a free member as long as you like. There are no fees or time limits at all placed on basic account affiliates.

This depends on the type of sale you make, and your own personal subscription level. All members are paid on retail sales immediately, directly to their Liberty Reserve account. Recurring monthly subscriptions are paid to your User's Wallet based on your subscription, if you are subscribed, you'll earn down all seven branches, if not, just on your first branch.

Inside the application you have your own User's Wallet where your commissions are stored as they are earned, at any time you wish you may empty your wallet simply by telling the application how much you want to withdraw, and clicking the Withdraw button. Your funds are sent instantly and seamlessly right from your wallet without any administrative intervention at all.

Socialtide can be accessed from any computer with an Internet connection. We do advise that if you're using a public computer, or one that's not your own you take proper safety precautions so as to safeguard the security of your account.

We have a Support Group located inside the application where you can get help with anything you need.

We have several marketing tools for you to use to promote the website, including banners, your own custom referral link and an internal Invitation system. But the most important tool you have to promote with is your word of mouth. Talk to people, tell them about what's really happening in the world, and most certainly, share a copy of Socialtide - The Experience with them.

At the present time Socialtide is only available in English, but we do have plans to make it available in as many languages as possible as we progress and grow. Inside the application you'll find a group for Language Translation, if you speak a language fluently and can help out with translation, please jump in and help out.

There can indeed provided that each account has a separate email address and Liberty Reserve account. For a husband and wife, brother and sister, etc. could participate from the same residence as long as we have separate email and payment information for each person.

Never. We charge no fees whatsoever to process payments or post commission earnings. The only fees you will pay are fees incurred through Liberty Reserve, and/or exchange service fees incurred through third party exchangers. With Socialtide there are no surprises.

Business opportunity ... not so much, Socialtide is a social network where you can make money and learn self-sufficiency. International, yes indeed, we operate worldwide through the Internet.

That's a bigger topic than can be answered here in this FAQ, but in general Socialtide is bitterly opposed to all forms of taxation. That being said, we will not and do not give advice or offer any form of tax information or reporting. We are not organized under the laws of the US Government, thusly we do not answer to the IRS or any other country's tax code.

You will need to decide yourself if you are indeed required to pay taxes on your earnings, and whether you choose to voluntarily pay those taxes is up to you.

How much do you want to earn? Your potential for earning is limited only by your ability and willingness to participate in the program. Obviously each person is different and brings a different skill set to the table, but if you follow our promotional system as outlined in Socialtide - The Experience you should have a good level of success.

Officially no we're not affiliated with either The Venus Project or The Zeitgeist Movement. Un-officially however we are all pieces of the same puzzle, that being, how to best go about resolving the scarcity, hunger, corruption and oppression that occurs in our world today.

Socialtide was originally designed as a vehicle for members of The Zeitgeist Movement to begin moving away from the establishment so as to free up their time for activism. But very quickly we saw that we could affect, educate, inspire and motivate far more people by opening the doors of Socialtide to all persons.

First and foremost as we've stated before, we have no interest in turning a profit. As for paying the expenses, this is explained in depth in Socialtide - The Experience. We're able to manage this through the top-level breakage that occurs naturally through the first 7 branches of the member tree structure.

Breakage is the phenomenon that occurs in any multi-tiered commission system when a certain commission is not "qualified" for some reason, usually because of pin levels, or volume restrictions. The only breakage that occurs in Socialtide happens when a basic affiliate, (someone who is not subscribed to our monthly subscription) earns a commission on any branch other than their first branch. This commission is then handled by the compression element, which pays the commission to the next qualified member in the tree.

At Socialtide, Breakage and Compression don't hinder your ability to earn, they allow you to earn more by stopping unqualified commissions from breaking back to the Foundation.

At Socialtide you have complete flexibility to place newly sponsored or gifted (one-up) members anywhere you like within your member tree with the following restrictions:

• The member must be personally sponsored by yourself or through the gifting (one-up) process
• The member cannot have any members within their personal member tree
• The member can be placed only once
• The member must be placed within 48 hours of enrollment

A Retail Sale is the initial one-month subscription that a new member pays for access to our membership product and is paid directly to the new member's sponsor at 100%.

Residual Income is the recurring commissions generated by the on-going subscription activity of a member and is paid through our multi-tiered compensation plan.

G3 is our in-house promotional concept and it's your roadmap for success. G3 stands for Give One, Get One, and Get One More.

In your first month of membership your goal is to Give One new member, (your first referral) to your sponsor, this is symbolized as the planting of your tree, once you've laid down the roots of your tree it can begin to grow. Next, you'll Get One member for yourself, this creates the foundation for the growth of your tree.

Finally, each and every month you'll simply Get One More. Each month you should set a goal to add one new member personally to your tree and place them appropriately.

G3: Give One, Get One, Get One More ... simple as that.

In reality your member tree is infinite, it will grow down forever. Our compensation plan however stops for each individual at seven branches. You do however have unlimited width, so you may grow your tree "sideways" as well to increase your earning potential as you see fit.

There is the very real possibility that you will earn commissions past your seven branches through our compression model, if all seven "leaves" (members) down a given branch were basic affiliates, commisions earned below the seventh branch would compress up to you as the next qualified member upwards in the tree.

The 80/20 Rule is a long standing, time tested concept that simply states that 80 percent of your success will stem from 20 percent of your effort.

This is true in almost every area of life whether you are aware of it or not. In this, Socialtide will be no different. 20 percent of your tree will produce 80 percent of your volume. Your job is to analyze your stats and work with that 20 percent group to maximize your time and energy.

No, of course not. But we will say this, your people will do as you do, not as you say. If you really want to get people energized and motivated, you should make a commitment to yourself and your tree to visit the site daily, and most importantly commit to contribute to the community. Your direct contribution to enriching the community with your input in the form of blog posts, group leadership, video uploading etc., plays a far bigger factor in engaging your tree that any other single thing you can do.
