Free Membership: To create the best no-cost online marketplace that connects members to businesses. Members join for free and will never pay a fee to join or remain as a member. There are no contracts, subscription fees, membership fees or commitment.
Protecting Member Privacy: To give members control over their personal data by providing a clean, ad-free and privacy-first experience when searching for a business, product or service. At PerkMiner, member privacy is not an option ... it is our absolute standard. We believe that a member's personal data belongs to our members. Unlike traditional networks that collect, harvest and sell user data to the highest bidder as a lead, Perk Miner LLC will never collect more than your name and email address for account creation. We connect members with businesses (through secure messaging), where members can search for a business, product or service without having to worry about their data and contact information being compromised, sold, exploited or shared. Members decide to whom and when they disclose any contact information to any advertiser and even then, they share that information with one business at a time since we connect one member to one business at a time. Members will never receive spam email, unsolicited phone calls or uninvited sales people showing up at their door.
Real Cash Rewards: To generously reward our members and give them the opportunity to earn more than what they spend with our advertisers. Members can enjoy the benefits of earning cashback and referral commissions. Members earn 2% cash back on up to $2,500 of their purchase and earn referral commissions when people and businesses they refer generate qualifying purchases or sales (paid by Perk Miner LLC). We believe that Word of Mouth advertising is the most powerful and trusted form of advertising, which is why up to 6 members (when all applicable payouts are active) earn up to 56% of the advertising revenue Perk Miner receives from every finalized transaction. Members earn additional revenue when people they refer make purchases from any advertiser and they also earn commissions when businesses they refer generate sales and finalize those transactions. We heavily invest in our members, which is why we re-invest our advertising revenue back into the ecosystem.
Live GPS Tracking: To give our members peace of mind when interacting with any of our service-related advertisers. We believe that time is money and know that many service-providers leave their members in the dark when it comes to scheduled appointments for in-person service requests or meet-ups. We allow our members to receive up-to-date statuses from service providers and when the service provider changes the status to “on the way”, our members can see the exact location of the service provider and see the Estimated Time of Arrival. We also allow our members to confirm the destination address and if needed, input the correct destination address if it is incorrect to make sure that the service provider has the correct address.
Zero Wasted Advertising Dollars: To provide a true Pay-Per-Sale / Pay-Per-Close model with total transparency. Just like we value our members, we value our advertisers, which is why business owners are able to advertise and grow their business without experiencing the frustration of wasted advertising dollars. This is a true Pay Per Sale (PPS) / Pay Per Close (PPC) model: no sale or closed deal = no fee.
Minimum 10x - 1,000% Return on Advertising Spend (ROAS): To provide a high ROAS for all advertisers and eliminate the guessing game of trying to figure out what’s working and not working when trying to grow your business. Advertisers only pay 10% of the total sale, capped at $250 with no hidden fees, contract, membership or subscription fees and no commitment. We want businesses to succeed without paying a large fee that affects their profit margins.
No Cost For Exclusive Leads, PPC, SEO, Website or Foot Traffic, Appointments, Phone Calls or Meet-Ups: To provide a worry-free marketing experience for our advertisers by giving our advertisers all the tools they need to grow their business without charging any additional fees. Unlike many other marketing agencies that solely rely on generating their revenue from oversold leads to as many competitors as possible, expensive Pay-Per-Click campaigns, ineffective Search Engine Optimization techniques and more, we provide all of this and more for our advertisers at zero cost. Not only are our leads exclusive (one member to one business at a time), any website or foot traffic, any phone calls, appointments and meet-ups are also free-of-charge. If our advertisers don’t make a sale or close a deal, they pay zero dollars.
Real Cash Rewards: To generously reward our advertisers and give them the opportunity to earn additional revenue for their business. Advertisers can enjoy the benefits of earning cashback and referral commissions. Advertisers earn 1% cash back on up to $2,500 of every sale they make (finalized transactions) in exchange for offering at-least one perk to our members and earn referral commissions when businesses they refer generate qualifying sales (paid by Perk Miner LLC). We believe that Word of Mouth advertising is the most powerful and trusted form of advertising, which is why up to 6 advertisers (when all applicable payouts are active) earn up to 28% of the advertising revenue Perk Miner receives from every finalized transaction. Advertisers earn additional revenue when businesses they refer generate qualifying sales and finalize those transactions. We heavily invest in our advertisers, which is why we re-invest our advertising revenue back into the ecosystem.
Free Listing – Low Start Up: To allow our advertisers to get started for as little as $25 in pre-funded advertising dollars (this is not an advertising fee and is dependent on the advertiser's lowest sale amount). Our advertisers are never charged to list their business, however, they are required to pre-fund their account to cover the cost of the advertising fees associated with every finalized transaction. Any unused funds remain in the advertiser's account balance. The advertising fee itself is deducted from the account balance upon successful finalization of a completed sale or closed deal.
Live GPS Tracking: To give our advertisers peace of mind when there’s a team of service providers in the field by providing real-time status updates of the service call and being able to track their location when “on the way”. We understand that not knowing the status of a call or knowing where your employees are when in the field not only wastes time, but can cost unnecessary expenses, especially when the destination address is incorrect. Think about the added fuel costs, the added wear-and-tear on vehicles, but even worse, what about the frustrated client that’s been waiting for their arrival. We allow our members to confirm and if necessary, correct the incorrect destination address. Our advertisers can see where the service provider is in real-time when their status is set to “on the way”.

Joe is passionate about building honest, results-driven connections between members and businesses, with privacy as a top priority (it's our standard). Member data is protected in a way that business owners do not have access to a member's contact information until the member decides to whom and when they want to disclose that information, and even then, only one business gets that information at a time (not sold to multiple competing businesses who are trying to earn a member's business). Drawing on decades of experience in business, tech, and advertising agencies, he knows the frustration of wasted ad dollars (paying for leads, PPC, SEO, etc.) and getting Zero Sales or having ad fees that drastically reduce your profit margins.
As a consumer, Joe understands what it's like having your personal data sold to other companies as a lead (non-stop phone calls, your mailbox getting filled with spam emails, etc.). That's why Joe incorporated secure messaging as a way for members and businesses to connect without ever compromising a member's contact information.
In 2007, Joe created a Pay-Per-Sale/Pay-Per-Close model to help businesses achieve real results without high costs—obtaining a program copyright in 2008. With PerkMiner, he flipped the script: businesses earn cashback from making sales, not purchases, enjoying a minimum 900% ROI, which is a 1000% Return on Ad Spend (paying $1 or less in fees for every $10 sold - max $250), plus cash back and referral commissions.
Joe knows real WORD-OF-MOUTH is the best advertising. That’s why PerkMiner pays out up to 84% of its ad revenue to reward members and business owners who spread the word and complete sales—so everyone wins.
Joe is also a U.S. Navy (naval intelligence) and law enforcement (police sergeant) veteran. PerkMiner is his vision for helping businesses grow—with trust and transparency at the center, while providing peace of mind to members that interact with businesses.
