A couple weeks back I advanced through a board game, got paid and the
 Prosperity Team helped me accomplish this much quicker than if I took
on the challenge of "beating" this game myself.

Let's look at this board game I am involved with more closely, expanding
on a prior article I wrote about this unique strategy board I wrote earlier
in 2010.

Everybody on my team puts out the "good word" about the Prosperity
Team in the method they are comfortable with. Be it Blogging, putting
a page on a rotator, email campaigns to friends and subscribers that
are "opt in". Some members have gone so far as to design their own
"splash" page and put it out there.

This is a combined effort and each Team member knows that at least
2 people brought in is sufficient but with many it's no stopping there.
Some have no interest in recruiting and just want to play the game
and get involved. That's fine as well while others pick up the slack
and the "builders" and "placers" strategically put people on a member's
board to advance him or her as quickly as possible.



So...what's the over all goal here? The short term goal is to get to the
center of a board and get paid. The long term goal is looking ahead
and aiming your sights on the next higher paying board. For example,
I advanced through the $150 board and received $230 with $40 deducted
as an "autosupply" to place another position on a board for me..so
net...$190. Now I am on the $300 board moving my way through that
one with the help of the "Team". There are several members up on
the $600 board already and moving along.

The Board...I look at as a Square with 2 more squares placed inside it,
each one smaller in size of course. You enter the board at a corner
of the square and as members come onto my board...I move around
the 3 remaining corners until I advance to the inner square. Only two
corners here to move through...opposite sides. Finally...I am pushed
into the centre square and got my hands out..."fund me Prosperity"...lol

The outside square is like a baseball diamond..homeplate and the
three bases. the only difference as I move around the bases and
headed for home I climb a ladder up to a smaller baseball diamond...
here I just go from homeplate to 2nd base..two opposite corners.
Then a ladder appears and I climb up to the top square and stand
there in all my glory..."Oh Yeah! and a standing ovation...thank you...
thank you....lol

They hand me a mic and when the cheering stops..."I just wanted to
thank my team for making this all happen" and get all emotional.

Seriously though...the "Team" effort in working these boards and making
more money with each board I move through..is the way to go.

Members who join are invited to a Team group Skype chat and you
can see what's happening daily with business and some fun mixed
in..sort of like a social community with the only opportunity discussed
is winning on the boards.

Is there a new trend developing within the HYIPs? It seems that way as
I see a couple of programs I am in that are deemed to be short term
affairs. However, looking at HugMoney ,with 3 months under it's belt, it's
still going strong and popular as ever, specially with the steady payments.

I'm running in the 5 day plan for 122% with principal returned but let's compare
it to your average surf out there. Lucky to get a couple terms out of some as
the support is just not there. There are a couple exceptions running currently
but for the most part...nothing like it was a year ago when Forum threads were
on fire with steady payment posts.



Along with "Huggie", a nickname for HugMoney, I'm with General Income
and in and out of the 3 day plan there for a gain of 10% each run....like a
dolphin in the ocean "breaching" up and down, racing alongside the hull
of a ship. GI is also paying instantly at this time and accepts all major
payment processors.

So are these short term plan programs getting the lionshare of investors funds
out there? I can't call that one but I can say there is a lot of money flowing in and
out of these HYIPs on a daily basis. Then the question arises..do I go for the 1.2%
plan for 150 days and pray my plan matures or go for the quick strike? 3 days
In and out with a reasonable gain. Certainly the latter is a more attractive but
...one has to keep their wits about themselves and remember the risk involved.

Certainly...It's all about risk, gain and loss, here today...gone tomorrow with HYIPs
but that's what keeps people like me interested. The idea of making 22% on my
funds in a few days gets my mustache to twitchin' and my clicker finger itchin' to
hit "pay" on the front end and then waiting for the payment to come through on the
back end..."You got funds Gord". "Uh huh...all right...I'm paid and feelin' good."...lol

Last Tuesday night on the 9th of March a week after Premier League Shares
launched, I checked my account and entered a withdrawal request for the
first weeks earnings. Shortly after, the funds landed in my payment processor.

Two main plans here, being... a weekly and monthly payout with the weekly rate
ranging from 5% to 5.8% (with a minimum of $101 invested). The monthly plans
offer earnings from 27 up to 33% for the executive level in the "Advanced Shares"
category. Referral commissions sit at 3% per downline member's share purchase.


Tony, the Admin, is working on a face lift for the site which today looks more "hip"
than the original homepage. Now...I'm settling in for the long haul and I'm sure
the program will get more popular as the weeks go by and payments roll out.

Backtracking a bit to my previous article, Genius Funds paid me yesterday morning
and after doing some scanning around on Forums...members continue to be
paid. Hopefully they will soon be caught up with pendings and get back to normal.
I had to wait 48 hours which is no big deal considering all the pendings Genius
has to honour.

The HYIPs I joined in the last few weeks are still going strong with no issues as of
the writing of this article. Always interesting new ones launching as well which I mull
over and see if they fit into how I want to grow my funds. Right now it's a mix of long
and short term plans.

WBwso paid me yesterday and got me filled with curiosity and anticipation
on what the new "limited space" packages, soon to be loaded onto the site
for members to scrutinize, will offer. Meanwhile the "big boys" like GNI and
Genius Funds are causing a major stir in the HYIP world.



GoldNuggetInvest updated today it is finished and will issue refunds to those
members not in profit. A new "private" GNI type program will be announced on
Friday, the 12th of March. Apparently this one has been in the works for a few
months and getting ready to launch. Genius Funds has fell behind for the first
time with it's usually quick payments. Reports are that DDoS Attacks and script
problems caused an internal mess and the goal is to get caught up on pendings
by the end of this week.

With thousands of members and even more in funds wrapped up in these two
major players, there's a lot of unrest and could probably further damage this field
where programs survive with the continued "support" of the membership mainly
in ongoing recruiting and new monies. However...on my end. it's too early to make
any speculations on what's happening with Genius because my payment is only
overdue by a day so far. See how this story unfolds.

Meanwhile, it's push on and it's business as usual, as I have moved into new programs
and continue to seek new opportunities to make money here online. In 2009, some
big name surfs and profits shares went under, hurting the "rep" of that niche and there
still isn't much revival there yet. So far this year...big name HYIPs are running into
problems but the difference with the HYIPs is that there is a never ending launch of
new programs for investors to "work" and others watching, waiting for the select few
that will survive and turn into long term affairs.

Before I get heavy into this article, I can't stress how important it is to stay
within a budget here online. I got that constant haggling thing going on
with the good guy dressed in white on one shoulder and that scorched
guy in red on my other shoulder. 

Whoa! This looks good but geez that ROI is high but I could make a good
buck there. The guy in the red pajamas and forked tail always says..
"go for it...do it", while the dude in white which seems to have the same
mind set as my conscience.."now hold up there buddy!..think about what
your getting into..are you over your limit in spends or do you have some
surplus to throw in that risky venture.

Let's talk about HugMoney. Short term plans and was slotted as a short life
program as well. Started back mid December but still going strong to date.
Who knew? I could have made a bundle with that one if hindsight was 20/20.

Today I got paid quick from a short three day term for an end gain of 10% on
my invest with General-Income. Gaining popularity by the day and accepts all
payment processors but that guy in white on my shoulder is saying...
"but?..will it be another Huggie?". Anyway, I threw what I made back in for another
3 days for further growth



I know some people go in and out of these short term programs usually gaining
as they go but sometimes that stone in that river to prosperity they are crossing
sinks and they lose their footing plus their money. So..I categorize these type
programs as very high risk. No telling when they will falter but there is an opportunity
to make a fast dollar. However, when a plan expires...it's decision time and that
inner turmoil starts up again.

Overall, the ROI gained is low to your average surf where on a good day with an
exceptionally popular program your making 9% per day for example for 15 days.
The gig with the HYIPs like I mentioned above is...3 days and you get your principal
back plus interest. Then you can say thank you and "see ya" or get to thinking...
should I or shouldn't I?....lol

As one involved in the Surf and HYIP arena here online, I have to grapple
with the 'trends' that are linked to it. More with the manual and auto surfs
then HYIPs because if your fortunate to hook up with a long running program,
it's just there in the background of my Biz, providing me withe earnings week
after week.

So..it's boom and bust depending on the niche and programs your involved
with. For example...the tail end of 2009 brought a sudden slump as a few
big name surfs and profit shares went belly up. A lot of people lost money
and then looking to recoup those losses but skittish to invest any more
funds in an unknown program.

On my end, winding down in this first week of March, things are picking up
and stirring up some lost excitement as I come across new opportunities.
Premier League Shares is the first HYIP I joined and invested in at the
beginning of the week and had some "heads up" about that one a week
or so prior to launch and run by an experienced Admin...Tony of Traffic
Factory. The program is sparking a lot of interest as it develops and is
capable of being a long term earner.

Yesterday I got alerted about another promising program where you get
paid to view text and banner ads. Where there is no surfing required and
an invested member just needs to log in daily to earn 1 to 5% of their ad
unit purchase..it's classified as a HYIP.



PayBackAdz is also causing a stir on the MMG thread associated with the
program as I looked in on it this morning. The additional incentive here
is that an invested member can earn 2 cents per text and/or banner ad
clicked on and is immediately added to cash balance in addition to the
daily ROI earned from the single plan of the varying daily ROI mentioned
above. It has the feel of a profit share where the referral commissions
are high with a tiered level with the highest being 10% per your downline
member's purchase.

On top of that, an excellent site to advertise your stuff where members of
PayBackAdz get paid to view your opportunities, Blog, referral links, etc.

A good kickoff for March and looking forward to more avenues to provide
further growth on the profits I earn from the "regulars" within my Biz.

In an earlier article of mine down below, I mentioned that a new HYIP, or
High Yield Investment Program, was soon coming on stream. Well...that
happened quicker than I expected and actually opened yesterday evening
here by my Atlantic (Halifax) Time.

Premier League Shares is the name of this new one and Tony of Traffic Factory
fame is the Admin. What's involved here is a "system" on winning bets on soccer
games. I'll include a few entries here from Tony's explanation of what the core
of this program is all about.

"I have tested the system for 3 weeks and it really is a profitable way to make big
money, There is a team of 4 people all of whom I trust and know and they have
have developed a system within the soccer leagues where there investments
can't lose, I have tested this and they are correct."

"I have done my due diligence thoroughly on this and I must say I am very impressed
with how they generate funds quickly. I have tested the system small time and it seems
flawless. I can't reveal too much but it is Premier League Soccer or any other league soccer.
These guys converted £300 British money into £1200+ just LAST week alone, it is true
and now I know the system I can check without investing how they do it. Anyway I would
not have to be involved in the system (which is absolutely legitimate) just run the site
and get investors. They reckon and I agree that after 6 months investors would be in
profit by well over 160%. I have spent 2 weeks assessing this and I am excited."

"Accepts AP,STP,LR,SP"

On the site itself...there are various weekly and monthly return plans depending on
the amount of your investment. On the low end is 5% per week which is a reasonable
ROI and fits in with a long term program.


The referral commissions are set at 3% which also tends to make this a HYIP for
those serious about making money with the "plans" and not making an initial huge
gain with inflated RC's offered in a lot of short term programs today.

In the end... it's still a HYIP and with that comes risk. Is it viable? Sports betting is a
multi million dollar business and time will tell if this is a "keeper" and be here in
six months or a year's time. Just like the people involved with betting on a team or
athlete to make them either a few dollars at a time or rich very quickly...others lose
their shirts. So...please invest responsibly when laying down your hard earned money
on this or any other program online.

The last weekend in February brought about what seemed to be a mass
DDoS Attack on several popular programs at the same time. Among my
regulars, Genius Funds and HYIFund both were up and down until I presumed
their Hosts played it safe and took the programs offline. One way to thwart
these attacks until the trouble makers got bored and set their sights on
something else.

I, like most trying to make money online, have been dragged through the mud
a few times and have seen how unforgiving and deceitful some program Admins
can be. Not only Admins...there are also those that try to cheat a good opportunity
causing hardship for all members involved.

I've seen both and have gotten accustomed to it..."I've fell into a money trap and
now it's time to move on...forget it". A couple times it was hard to swallow where
I trusted these people but no time to dwell on it...carry on.

Let's say I was an evil monger Admin and I had thousands of dollars in funds
from members who trust in me and my program. My site just went under 3 days
of heavy sustained DDoS attacks and my Host just updated me that my script will
be online on their servers as soon as it lets up. What a chance...cancel my
subscription..blame it all on the Host...all the files and data are gone...run with
the loot after a tearful and "all is lost" update

It's been done and will happen again. But...c'mon this is too evil..too despicable...lol

This is the difference between guys who are looking for a way out and programs
like Genius Funds that came back up online and paid me quickly again this morning.
After lunch, an update from HYIFund that it's also back up and working to credit accounts
for missed ROI during the downtime.


This online business has trained me to look at programs with a sense of...guilty until
proven innocent like Red China unlike our democratic society were a person is innocent
until proven guilty.

So...when I see these programs I mentioned in my article burst back on the scene...
I have to give them "two thumbs up" for bringing some "good" back into this niche.

As we head into March, I've added some programs to my Update Website in
the last month that are paying me regular and I post about these on the Home
page of that site.

With Starkfund I regained 20% of the principal I put in to the 150 day plan so
far and my newest acquisition, Dragadox is paying me consistently as well.
My regulars, Wbwso and Genius Funds are making their usual payouts to
my payment processors.

Fast Traffic, the autosurf with the 1% per day until you reach 130% plan,
is part of my daily routine. With the fast timer, I go through the 200 sites
fairly quickly and right now...every 30 pages I surf, I pick up a cash bonus.

Marc, the Admin, has a special on the go now until Friday the 26th, which
is a 10% bonus added to an upgrade. A small active membership so far
and I'm wondering why. The guy pays quickly and the cash incentive on
the sites auto rotator adds to your cash balance along with your daily rebate.

As the never ending launch of new HYIPs continue, there is the odd one
that creates more of a buzz than others and as I do some research, see
that besides it's promo of how the program's Admin(s) generate funds on
the Home page, I look at how popular it is and if it's a "hit" among investors.
Dragadox fits this bill and the attractive 1.6% per day for 150 days with a
minimum of a $10 invest, persuaded me to get involved.



Incorporating all the popular payment processors, specially Alertpay, was also
a deciding factor for me. I'm not a fan of programs that just use LR and can take
a quick exit with the processor shutting it's ears to any complaints. "Don't want to
hear about it...you made the choice now chill"...lol

So..now it's down to what I discussed in prior articles...recoup what I paid in and
with the daily ROI...that will take 63 days. The rest is then gravy just in case there
is a problem later on. Always in the back of my mind but I get into these with the
intentions they'll run for a year or more.
