Already into September and also full swing into Hurricane season, "Earl" is
scheduled to hit Nova Scotia's South and West coast  on Saturday. Currently
a Category 4 Hurricane, Earl will lose some of it's power as it comes up the
Eastern seaboard of the US. Probably be a Category 1 time it reaches me and
I'm hoping... downgraded to a tropical storm as it comes up through the colder
ocean waters in the North Atlantic.

A category 1 Hurricane has wind speeds of up to 95 mph but can peak at 135 mph
but forecasters figure it will be around the 75 mph mark blowing through Nova
Scotia. On the chart below...you can see the south coast of Nova Scotia where
Earl will be howling at approximately 8 AM, Saturday morning.



I think of it as a reminder from Mother Nature that she is still around and can put
a crimp in our everyday schedule. Flights will be grounded and Ferries will remain
tied up until Earl passes. Truckers will certainly have to be cautious if they are near
the "eye" where winds are the strongest and can easily push over those big rigs as
if they were weightless.

So... as I keep an eye on Earl and wonder which way he will eventually swing...either
towards me or off to the west, I'm very pleased with the cycler, Ad2Million . My positions
continue to cycle daily and I got paid to my Alertpay account yesterday within a half an
hour of requesting. I'm already well into profit thanks to my downline members who
decided to join me in this venture.

GrandBankClub continues to place spots on the 40 Board moving more Club members
near and into centre (paying) positions on the boards... spawning "clones". It's all about
duplication which results in doubling, tripling, etc... a member's compensation from the
Board game.

"Spawning clones"...looks like something out of a space movie about Aliens doesn't it?
In reality...moving through each board earns a Club member cash and extra positions
(clones) that get paid the same as the "original" position without any extra funding.

My next article will include more about money making programs but also a unique
story of a Ship I once sailed on in the late 70's that has long been de-commissioned
but refuses to fade away where recent front page News headlines revived old memories
of the destroyer and my Navy days.

The GBC board game's Pay Plan is now on the homepage of the
GrandBankClub site as part of a face lift performed there recently.

The Blog that's updated regular has been moved up to near the top
of that page mainly because it's the best source for information about
the Easy 40 Plan, GBC itself and the latest news. Today's post is about
the first cash draw winner, the PIF Pool and goals. We all need attainable
goals and even dreams we want to come true.

I watched the movie, read several articles and recently read the Book
about The Secret for a second time. Looking back over my life I know
it works because I have experienced it. Like something you truly want to
do...it may be an occupation or that getaway you always wanted to go to.
I've been there, were I just can't get it out of my head I want it so bad...
dream about it...talk about it. Before I realize it...I'm only a step away from
attaining what was once a dream and eventually achieving it.

I've meet a lot of people in my coming and goings that have talked themselves
out of their hopes and inspirations or listened to others that tell them...
"you'll never make it". Ignore all that and you'll do just fine.

My biggest fault is that I'm never satisfied. I reach a goal and already thinking
about the next one..for some reason..that has to be there...that next goal.

Ad2Million is over the 170 member mark currently and as positions cycle it
adds up to about 2% of a position spend ($10) per day. That's a good pace
as membership grows instead of doing multiple cycles in a 24 hour period
and stalling early. A2M is built for the long haul and looking good so far.



I was presented with this site today and right now It's free to join where
Sundance Global is in prelaunch. I read all the pages on the site plus the
FAQs and watched the front page video. It's all about food as the product.
The compensation plan is not in place yet so that's a wait and see thing.
The program launches on the 20th of October and for those who sign up
now... get a free $20 food order and a future "founder'" profit share.

Anyway I signed up and I'll wait for further details on the actual compensation
before making myself comfortable there. There is a sample of the food choices
on the products page.

Food as a currency? Back in the old days..folks paid doctors with food
and was used as a bartering tool. Interesting to see how that program
develops but I have a suspicion it will involve monthly orders or what
they call "autoships" which goes hand in hand with downline building.

Next week is a busy time for those who have kids as they prepare to return
to school, colleges and universities. A frenzy of buying school supplies and
new clothes for that next grade or semester.

One of the more popular stores here for school supply specials is called
Staples. They have a comical commercial on my favorite radio station now
beginning with a boy wondering about his Mom missing him when he returns
to school.

"Oh yes dear I will" as she ushers him out the door with his lunch. "Have
a great day!"

"Yes!!!"...and then the lyric..."It's the most wonderful time of the year...."



Here online...GrandBankClub had a good week placing positions on
the 40 Board game and prepares to draw it's first PIF or Pay It Forward
$40 position to a PIF contributor. This "free" position has unlimited earning
potential as it enters the 40 board, multiplies and earns an increasing pay
with each Board that spot and it's clones complete.

GBC also has a monthly cash draw and that's coming up on the 31st of
August...again to those who contribute to the PIF pool.



The latter part of the week, a new "cycler" launched that incorporates the
same script as the long running 10DollarsWonder and that program is
called Ad2Million , which has 139 members onboard already. Yours truly
is doing well as my cash balance continues to grow.

Club Asteria continues to payout it's "profit share" rebates every Thursday
and this week it was 9% on total Asterio Points held. No change from
the previous week. The maximum profit share payable is 10% and it will
fluctuate as I have witnessed but holding steady lately. Asteria migrated
to a more powerful server and it has increased loading and navigation
time with the site.

Team Cash Cow continues to work to bring 6 people under members in
the long running program...Fortune5Minutes. The cow has already done
that for me as I entered the Gold Booster plan in f5m.

On the HYIP front...it's pretty quiet as my two regular long term earners roll
along. No big announcement last week about a major launch of a new
HYIP that will knock my socks off...lol

The highlight as we enter the last couple days of August for 2010, was the
launch of Ad2Million and as those that work the "money" programs online
look forward to a profitable fall, I'm shrugging off the cobwebs after a slow
summer season.

A new program launched today called Ad2Million and the Admin, Carrie,
is running the same script from the long time popular cycler called...
10DollarsWonder, which started back in 2006. 10DW was the talk of the
virtual town when it was making it's members a nice income and some
made up into the thousands of dollars.



This is a cycler based on that program's success and those that were
members back in the 10DW days will recognize the familiar Home page
and backoffice after registering. Getting down to the basics...

- Advertising / Cycler is $10 per position (plus a small fee) and currently
accepts Alert Pay only. Other pay processors are being considered.

- No Sponsoring Required to cycle but you will receive $1 for each of your
direct referrals $10 new spend. You'll also receive .20 cents on each of
their re-purchases made directly from the members area.

- Each $10 spend that is made will cycle 35 positions at .20 cents each.

- Cycling will be done once daily, probably in the evening EST.

Those tidbits were taken from Blondie's Lounge with her permission
and where she was in 10DollarsWonder from Day, as you can see on
her Blog, Blondie recognizes the potential to make a good dollar with this
new launch...Ad2Million.

Actually, as of the writing of this article...I am already in profit from my first
spend....Good Stuff!

Winding up for today...this one is all about a constant stream of new people
joining to make it work with spends and respends. 10DollarsWonder enjoyed
a long life doing this and members made some good money so Ad2Million
should be no different. Remember...the first one to the breakfast table gets the
most bacon...lol

A couple queries about Club Asteria came my way in the last few
days and one concerned "recruiting". In every money making program
online you will make more money if you promote referral links but
many are not into that and want to remain "Passive" happy to earn
what  ever the compensation plan pays out.

Club Asteria is no different...a member can earn a "profit share" weekly
directly proportional to the number of "Asterio" points held and remain
"Passive". That's what I have been doing since I joined two months ago
while I update my progress here on my Blog.



Another concern is about the matching bonus that Asteria offers. "Paying out
that much money will shorten their lifespan".

Matching Bonuses remain the same until further notice – theyare very
popular and many of you take advantage of them. 

Our NetworkDirectors Circle is rapidly growing.

Present Matching BonusSchedule
Maximum 5,000 Matching Asterios to any one account.

Purchase 250 Asterios and above within your first 14 days of joining =100% Match

then AFTER 14 days
     500+= 50%
   1000+ = 75%   = ND1 (National Director Status)
  3000+ = 100% = ND2

The majority of programs out there will offer you a "cash" matching bonus
that has to be either invested and/or can be cashed out. Upgrade with a
$1000 and a 25% matching bonus will result in either $250 you can immediately
cashout or it's sitting there in the backoffice and can only be used to fund a plan.
Usually the latter is the deal in most programs. Those that allow you to cashout
do fail quicker with my experience where I have been there and done that.

With Club Asteria the matching bonuses are "points" not cash and they have
been doing this since launch about seven months ago, or longer. So a member
is gaining bonus points and then the weekly "profit share" is based on the total
number of Asterio Points held. Last week the rebate was 9% up from the previous
week.

GrandBankClub has placed 24...$40 Board positions to date and moving along
at a consistent pace. A recently added Blog called the GBC Blog , so named for the
program's purposes has several informative articles posted already.

A new article will be published about every 2 days with the latest news and addresses
questions that arise as the Club continues to add new members on a daily basis.
The latest article has a look at the numbers. Earnings and positions that are added
as a single $40 Board purchase maneuvers around and up through the game boards
...each producing an increasing profit for a Club member.

The GrandBankClub and it's Easy 40 Plan is gradually gaining momentum
as new members are joining and making deposits. From the first positions
placed on the $40 Board, there has to be a plan/strategy in place to maximize
the potential.

Looking at the "big" picture...as more 40 positions continue to be added...
there is also a "pushing" of Club spots off the 40 board and up into the
$75 board. The Board Game management have their own Pay Plan in
place where moving off each board, the system automatically adds extra
positions for a member. I call these "clones" and I think the term I put on
"Virtual" and "Autosupply" positions is beginning to sink in.

With clones re-entering the 40 board, it boosts that member's original position
plus there is a doubling, tripling, etc. of the compensation and spurring the
addition of even more clones. In other words "more is better" with this Game.
A member can start with a $40 position and watch it evolve into clones, all
moving around and up the Boards. Those that purchase more positions
are increasing their income accordingly.



The Pay Plan and Strategy Chart is a guide to follow for the Game which
can become a complicated affair when it comes to placing that next position
...benefiting all concerned.

I've been following the "Chart" since I joined and there have been some
minor "tweaks" since last year but I just buy "strategy spots" where indicated
with no extra funding.

Basically...I am going beyond what the "clones" are doing for me and
purchase more "strategy" positions while I earn an increasing profit with
each Board I complete.

This pushes along my initial positions, as well as, moving up behind
Club members.....pushing along along their spots and clones.

Pretty "dry" stuff I know and apologize for that but want to get across how
"strategy" comes into play here with GBC. With me...it's profit first and then
grow from there.

In conclusion...it's all about increasing the number of positions a member
holds on the 40 Game Board. The Game crew automatically does this
for a member as that position progresses but I am multiplying the number
of spots I hold with each Board as well. This benefits the Club and myself.

Online...in the virtual world or offline, in the real world, when dealing with
money or even matters that affect you personally or your family....you should
think it through, make a plan...what's my strategy when approaching this.
I'm sure most people do but there stories everywhere of people ,and it
seems more the elderly...being manipulated out of their life savings by
a young upstart investor or a plain scam. They put all their trust in another
person or company where it's better left in their bank account and secure.

I played chess when I was younger and quite often. My son is young at
12 years old and plays occasionally. I figure he has more "upstairs" then
I did as kid where he is one of those gifted individuals who can remember
90% of what he reads the first time. In other words he doesn't "cram" for
exams like I used to do. I've watched him read through his material,
rarely right down anything and come home with a 98%.

Anyway...one evening we decided to have a couple games of chess and
as we hunkered down looking over the board and pieces...he was looking
at me with a hint of a smile on the corner of his lips. Hmmm...is he happy
I'm playing this or does he know something I don't?

I'm thinking..."OK...I got this!"

5 moves later that game was over as he sat back with his arms crossed
and a grin from ear to ear while I was still figuring out what happened.

The next game... 12 moves and I was toast again.

Looking back on that...he had a strategy all mapped out even before I sat down.
He would lure my pieces to one side...opening an avenue for him to quickly move
in and "check mate" my King.

I was playing the game just thinking about it one step at a time with no real
strategy...if I seen an opening...I would take it. That never came..lol

Team Cash Cow , back in the online world, has a strategy in place and launched
it's plan this past week where it started a "build" for the long running program...
Fortune5Minutes. Pete, our leader, took a few weeks to prepare our attack and
how we will make money from F5M.



All the information anyone needs to know is on the well prepared new site from
Team Cash Cow. Leading into Forune5Minutes, there is also a ton of information
on the pages there prepared from over the years it's been in operation and paying
it's members.

Team Cash Cow's objective is to bring 6 people into your downline in F5M and
how it will do that... is again all detailed on the site itself. TCC is worth a visit and
a few minutes of your time to read through the information on "how" this team build
will function. Fortune5Minutes has proven itself as a stable operation and a worthy
build for the Team.

Can you imagine what it would be like to suddenly realize your dreams
have come true. Everybody has a dream or goal they are seeking... ranging
from wanting a better standard of living, that top position in the company or
winning that multi-million dollar lottery

Some of us spend all out lives looking for it, others "luck" into it and those
that succeeded, drop to their knees one day...arms in the air looking up
towards the heavens...I did it!

Here's the story that caught my eye while I was waiting for a Doctor appointment.
The secretary even called my name twice but I had to finish reading the article
and ...Hey! It's always me that does all the waiting to see my Doc...for once, he
can chill and wait a couple minutes..don't you agree?...for sure!...lol

Gold fever is gripping Yukonfor the first time in more than a century following
the source of the original Klondike deposits.

Shawn Ryan lived in a tin shack for years before uncovering the so-called
White Gold district, not far from the fabled Klondike zones.While his work has yet
to result in an operating mine, it has already sparked a record-setting staking rush and
led to the multi-million dollar takeover of a junior gold explorer by a senior producer.

Shawn Ryan was sure he could find the source of theKlondike gold rush.
After many years of digging, he now has a ‘See, I told you so’ moment

Worth you while to read the whole story here, never give up on your dreams
and rekindles that spark to keep going.

In a few of my past articles I have been shedding a bit of doomand gloom about
making money online but it comes down to making choices and how you approach
these money matters. Let's take HYIPs for example...investing "passively" will be
a profit/loss venture because of the scams out there. If you can get out in time with
a profit in hand...it's all good. Lately the "passive" havebeen taking a steady hit.

Those that actively promote the referral links for these programs willdo good.
They will get into profitin the fraction of the time it does a "passive" member who
has no downline.

The "active" approach makes people a lot of money quick... there is no doubt about
that. Let's look at two long running programs for example. Those that seen the potential
in Club Asteria back in December of 2009 and earlier are making $800+ per week now
...that's $3200 a month minimum just with one program.

A surf program that stayed under the radar for months...so much so...I didn't once open
the link to have a look at it. The Vault has been paying a fairly high interest rate ever
since 2009. Again..those that got in on "day one" or shortly after have made some
big money and specially those with a large downline.

I believe it's a mix of luck, experience and making choices in life like Mr. Ryan. Compare
his Gold discovery to making money online. Over time he became a self taught Geologist
and knew what to look for, while never giving up on his goals and dreams.

I'm a true believer in that... when it comes to government, corporations
and the financial sector we only see and hear what they want us to
through the media. That involves Government departments like the
military, economic, social services, foreign affairs and many more.

What's going on behind all those closed doors and different agencies?
We will never know as "press secretaries" keep us out of the know until
there is a breach of security or "someone" gets caught with his mitts
in the cookie jar and that usually has something to do with missing funds.

Over the last ten years, I've seen a lot of movies involving cloning and since
that sheep cloning thing...the issue has gone fairly quiet. Plants and vegetables
are more in the forefront these days but there are experiments going on
with cows I read awhile back. Who knows what else.

I have my suspicions that in some secret government departments around
the word and in some lab sponsored by millionaire... billionaire eccentrics,
human cloning has not already been done but being perfected. Wouldn't
surprise me that this will come to light one day and shock the religious
world and everybody else...except moi....lol

You have to think outside the media box sometimes and that can scare the
wits out of you....guess that's why the majority of us choose not to let our minds
wander into those grey areas.



I thought I would do some cloning of my own in presenting the "comparison"
to follow.

The Board Game I mentioned in my last article can be a complicated affair
when it comes to strategy. That's why GrandBankClub takes that complexity
out of the Game and Members can get involved "hands free" and "minds
free".

The basics...a $40 entry onto the Board  game gains you $100 when a member
leaves the 75 Board with 3 extra positions in place each acting as an identical
or "clone" of that member's position. One $40 positions soon becomes $120
worth of positions...4 positions earning the same as per the Board's Pay Plan.

Leaving the 40 Board a member gains a "Virtual" position that will start at the
beginning of that same 40 Board. The earnings from the 40 board is $25, with
an additional $40 buying a "clone" or a Virtual position and that's where the
fun begins as you look back ....see yourself following you as your advancing
around the Boards. After awhile a member begins to wonder which is the
real "me"....lol

The "real" you is always out front with that original gene. Most of the time anyway,
but...it can happen that a clone will pass you but that's more confusion to present
in a future article.

Leaving the 75 Board, a member gains another "Virtual" plus an "AutoSupply ",
and these come back in at starting positions on the 40 board as well.

I refer to these Virtuals and AutoSupplies as clones, to simply things. As a member
keeps gaining more clones it helps themselves and Club members move up
through the boards. These identical twins can build up quickly as a member
is propelled up through the boards multiplying a member's payments as well.

Remember this all comes from a single entry on the 40 Board...a member does
not have to shell out any extra funds when gaining these clones.

Whoa! It's the middle of August already. Trying to figure out where the
summer went. It's certainly true that the older you get the faster time
flies by.

"Life is like a roll of toilet paper...the closer you get to the end the faster
it goes."

In my humble opinion, the Surf and HYIP niches are still tumbling down
hill with the exception of my current strong holds like Funds-O-Matic and
Premier League Shares where the Admins have a good reputation.
I'm confident they will pay to the bitter end whenever that might be.

Some figure there are Admins out there itching to launch new programs
in the Fall when online spending returns to normal after the summer hiatus.
I'm optimistic but the overall blanket of scam and corrupt Admins has done
a lot of damage and I'm personally seeing long time investors and friends
backing out and leaving... seeking less risky opportunities. These usually
take longer to produce desired profits but better than throwing away funds.



I love to Blog and write about my online ventures among other things and
sometimes "ramble on" off course or off topic. Readers join in the programs
I write about and when I make money, they make money. However, specially
in  the last six to seven months, I got deeper into HYIPs and specifically more
"short term plan" HYIPs. That was a trend or a fad which is now gone and
except for the couple programs I mentioned above, I won't be writing many
articles about Surfs and HYIPs in the future.

I began taking hits as scams really ramped up in the last month or two and
I know people who joined with me also took some losses. Not my intention
and I have to apologize to them for that. We could all be making good money
if it wasn't for the intentional pitfalls these crooks plan and execute. They
run with the money, start another program with an alias and repeat. Shameful
but that's the dirty part of this business and I have had my fill of trying to dodge
these jokers to get into some decent programs.

So...onwards into programs like the "Game that Pays" with GrandBankClub and
similar opportunities. I first got involved with this board game at the $150 level
and got into profit there and continue to move up through the higher paying boards.
GBC provides an entry into the starting board... the $40 level, which "moves"
quicker and you pick up "clones", which I call "Virtual" and "AutoSupplies" positions.
These positions are identical to my original position and "pay out" identically.

Before long, a member gains several positions via that one 40 Board position
and these "clones"  really come into play on the higher paying boards.
