The 8 Month Term

The months have certainly flew by since I invested in two eight month term
packages with WBwso.

Late last week they both expired and my principal was returned to my account.
Cashed out on Monday, the 1st of February, and received the funds and reinvested
in a new bi weekly 8 month plan for 7%. Again principal returned at the expiry of
the package. These are called "FlipSites" and have a limit set by the Admin of
how much funds are to be invested and then it is taken off the site as they develop
more.

Looking at the over all makeup of the program these weekly and bi-weekly are the
"fast" money compared to the no withdrawal 100% compounded 3 year term I am
in. To those who prefer plans like 9% per day for 15 days this is probably too laid
back for you but then again I have been paid regular for 9 months since I invested
in WBwso, can you compare that to surfs with High ROIs that only last for one term
to 4 weeks or so? I was a member a few months before that watching it develope
before taking a serious interest.



WBwso is classified as a non-HYIP in MMG but looking at the HYIPs...how long do they
last? A steady parade of launches with many collapsing or running into problems within
a  month. Only a few go the distance and can be seen everywhere and are practically
hyperspace (household?) names here on the online surf and HYIP business circuit.

Since this concept that WBwso has about buying commercial websites and earning
money from the ads they put on the sites is a viable investment...a wonder others don't
have a go at it? For one thing it takes experience and skill to get those sites "enticing"
and strategically placing the ads from Google and others in the line of sight of viewers.

Many have tried and are trying as they learn the art but as a beginner it takes long hours
and hard work with just pennies a day to start. It's like everything here online..you have
to set a goal and keep at it or you will begin to slid back.

Interesting quote I read the other day. Internet Marketing is like being a shark. A shark
can never stop swimming or it will die...always has to keep moving forward.

Cows, Politics and Big Business

I'm taking a little break from the Biz with this article as my "regulars" earn
away in the background and awaiting the launch of a new surf that I haven't
got all the particulars on yet but sounds promising.

I was sitting in my favorite restaurant yesterday and picked up the latest
flyer issue of the "Flying Cow". A neat little paper based on facts, humor
and trivia related to cows. Also noticed more Ads in the side columns
as I figure it's get more popular with each issue specially since it's free
to customers of the restaurant.



One particular section grabbed my attention more than usual and had to
control my laughter...getting all these weird stares. It goes like this...

Cows, Geopolitics, and Big Business

Confused about the difference between socialism, Communism and the
politics of huge corporations? This basic "dictionary" may help


Russian Communism: You have two cows. You have to take care of them,
but the government takes all the milk.

Communism: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides
you with milk. You wait in line for your share of the milk, but it's so long that
the milk is sour by the time you get it.

Dictatorship: You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.

Militarism: You have two cows. the government takes both and drafts you.

Pure Democracy: You have two cows. Your neighbors decide who gets the milk.

Representative Democracy: You have two cows. Your neighbors pick someone
to tell you who gets the milk.

American Democracy: The government promises to give you two cows if you
vote for it. After the election, the president is impeached for speculating in
cow futures. The press dubs the affair "Cowgate." The cows are set free.

Democracy, Democrat-style: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none.
You feel guilty for being so successful. You vote politicians into office who
tax your cows, which forces you to sell one to pay the tax. The politicians use
the tax money to buy a cow for your neighbor. You feel good. Barbara Streisand
sings for you.

Puts it all into perspective doesn't it.






Ain't Quittin'

February 1st and it's Monday. Something really weird happened today
other than what has been the "norm" lately. For the last couple months,
Mondays start off with updates from programs that they are "done".
Funds exhausted or what the Admin has decided is "that's enough
money paid out". Need some take home pay. Or...try to load a site
and "poof" it's gone with no indication or email that the site is closing.

Had a record awhile back...3 in one day..gone...groan.

Today was different where, MySurf4Cash is back in business and first withdrawals
will take place on March 1st until the 2nd. Switched from a 1% per day for 365 day
program to a profit share. The Admin updated the first payouts are not going
to be spectacular but in the building stage and future months will show some
improvement. Better than my funds stagnating there and gathering dust.



Switching to GoldNuggetInvest...cashed out today under the new regime and be
checking the Forums for the first payouts starting on the 8th of February. With a
large membership, the Admins are issuing payments at random instead of first
come first serve.

The above is a couple of examples of Admins that are not prepared to close the
doors on their programs and they know it will be an uphill battle where there
won't be many new upgrades or invests until those first withdrawals are completed
and sent out. "True" income comes to mind as this will be their salvation until
they have proved themselves worthy once again.

Profiting With FXEuro

With my payment yesterday I am in profit with FXEuro, the HYIP that's
running along quietly behind the scenes although lately I have seen
the site pop up on more Blogs lately where it opened for registration.

I believe there were about 500 members when the Admin opened
the gates and 218 have joined since. Estimating a 25% upgrade
ratio...54 more active members.

I assume there are also people/members that would like to upgrade
but don't have Liberty Reserve funds or Perfect Money. I had to swap
some myself with a friend to get a reasonable invest and happy it see
my account in LR growing because of the steady payments from FXEuro.



Just a quick recap... there are three plans you can ponder over on the
Homepage and referral commissions are set at a modest 6% of your
downlines purchases. One source of outside income as far as I know
and that is Forex or funds going through a "no fee" Broker and being
traded on the Foreign Exchange, which is all about making a profit
between two international currencies on a daily basis, Monday to Friday.

As I reminisced on my newsletter today...95% of online programs, no
matter what category that are in, will fail to get you into profit. There are
a lot that have the advertising tools at your disposal to recruit but there
are only a handful of Marketers out there that excel at that. You can't
be afraid of getting down and dirty and at times ruthless. Like stepping
on some toes and doing anything you can do to move up the ladder at
the offline workplace.

Not in me to do that...that's why I am in the Surf and HYIP niche.
Right now, FXEuro falls in that 5% category that made me money.







The Rise and Fall of D9

For some reason, the fall of D9Funds hit me harder than normal after returning
home from my recent journey to visit my ailing Father. Tough to see your Dad
so active be practically bed ridden with an incurable blood decease.

They say bad news comes in threes and I'm still coping with the first two.
I was 100% behind Adam Silva, the Admin, and hoped his prior two successful
programs would move "players" to support this one to the hilt but as the stats
showed...active members began to fall off after the 15th day with I assume
some heavy hitting going on as well.

Today, I pushed myself to get back into it and move on with the Biz and prepare
myself for the worse when Dad's health begins an expected rapid decline.
Other problems within the Biz are keeping me preoccupied but it's time to buckle
down and work these issues out.

When D9 hit rock bottom I couldn't help and think that the High ROI game is getting
more riskier than ever. My #1 rule is get in one day one and I was in profit at day 15
but I'm afraid some of my downline members did not and have to apologize for that
because It was one of the rare times, I promoted the program to the hilt at the beginning
but began to relax after launch.



So...I guess that will be the go of it then..do one round and get out if you have to "play".
If your like me you want it to continue...love that fast money coming in but what is the
membership doing?...will they continue to support or not? If not the surf will spiral
downward in a hurry and die. That's the problem today.

In conclusion for this article...It's tough when life begins hurdling obstacles in your way
and you feel like there's a ton of problems pushing down on you but you have to shake
it off and start pushing back

As the my drill sergeant once told me..." You will not fail me soldier...carry on!"
He was Military to the "T" but when I successfully passed "boot" camp after a rough start
30 odd years ago, he gave me a wink and shook my hand..."I told you didn't I."

Never forgot that.

Snow Birds

Where I live, Tim Horton's is a meeting place for groups of "regulars"  to
enjoy a cup of "Timmies", an excellent, addictive brew of coffee. Actually
it was headlined this week that Tim Hortons is one of Canada's top 10
companies and plans to go International.

I pass through almost every morning and listen to the morning chatter of sports,
specially Hockey this time of year, politics and generally everything under the
sun. With the cold temperatures there is more talk of the warm sunny south
and trips being planned and those that are leaving in a few days.



What I am doing?...I'm going farther North, leaving tomorrow the 22nd actually,
to spend a few days with my Parents in Gander, Newfoundland and return
on Tuesday, the 26th of January if all goes well and no delayed departures.

Speaking of delayed...I made my annual winter trip to Gander last year and
as I was packing my bags for the return a winter storm advisory was being
announced over the radio. Flicking on the TV and checking the Weather
station...40 Centimeters of snow!

I knew right then, I'm not going anywhere and the next morning another 50 CM
was forecast. Holy Cow! In total, over 100 cm fell, the most at one time in years.
On the 3rd day I finally watched the wheels of the aircraft I was on, lift off the snow
covered runway. In most places..it would probably be 5 days with all that snow
before things got moving right but accustomed to this, the snow clearing equipment
in Gander was on the roads and even during the heaviest snow ...traffic was still moving.

The long range forecast calls for mild temperatures and rain upon my return so...
wish me luck!




Surfs Are Picking Up The Pace

As District 9 Funds continues to be the most popular autosurf out there right
now, new launches are happening more quickly in that niche as people seem
to be back into the spending mood and looking to make some quick money online.
However...take caution on where you decide to roost as there are a lot of smoke
and mirror programs on the go as things heat up.

With 198 active members spending nearly $34,000, that's certainly a good
indication the surf and HYIP marketplace is picking up steam again. Zooming
in on where I live and what's happening in my corner of the world up here In
Nova Scotia, Canada....Genius Funds is tops right now in my HYIP category.

A never ending slew of new HYIPs launching daily. Holy Cow! If you got a good
stash of cash, you could keep joining these and there are usually a few profitable
ones that come out of it. A dangerous game and if you got 30 or 40 on your list,
with a few dying off every other day...are you winning? I assume some are specially
if you have a large following and the referral commissions are making up for losses.

Anyway...I'm too conservative for that and stick with a few that have had a good
history to date and Admins who have been given the "nod" as worthy of running
an "honest" program. After all...behind all the Ritz and Glitz of a Home page and
offering offshore plus DDoS protection, which for the most part...gives a member
a since of security although in reality...there is none...the Admin "is" the program.

Depending what an Admin pays for DDoS protection it's a good as what cost
range is purchased. I've seen the "top of the line" breached. These "trouble makers"
always seem to find a way to bust through the newest and greatest security
measures. As for Offshore protection...unless it's a Swiss Bank or Financial
Institutions that have International amnesty ...there is no protection from
authorities that want to seize funds or close down a program.



Getting back on track...As I work my Biz...I'm involved with a team that is building
a membership in the K Game. Haven't heard of it? You probably will in the up
coming weeks as this European program makes it's way through North America
and Pete from MyCashCowBiz has an excellent writeup on the "board" game.
Worth you while to take a few minutes, and read what Pete has to say on his
new Wordpress Blog.

The GoldNuggetInvest Shakeup

The long running and popular HYIP, GoldNuggetInvest, that's been getting a
lot of criticism lately for delayed payments has announced a major shakeup
within the program and out of all of this...I have to give a thumbs up for issuing
the lengthy Update they sent out to me and members.

The site is back up after a day or so of alterations which includes switching me
from a weekly payout plan of 6% to a monthly 16% payments of my invest starting
on ....February 1st. Before I was earning 24%+/- depending on the days in a month.
My pending, which I usually cashout every Monday has now been placed in my
e-wallet and I'll wait to cash that out in the new payment window of Feb 1st to the
7th with payments commencing on the 8th of February.

Now if you have a downline, which some have that's so deep you can't see the
bottom, an upgraded member will earn more where Referral Commissions will
be based on the monthly amount of a member's re occurring invest....

For example. Customer makes a $1000.00 purchase into the Monthly plan.
Referrer would NOT receive 50.00 as they otherwise would (at the onset).
What they would receive is $8 per month for 14 months or 112.00. This is
calculated as follows: ($1000 = customers invested principal)($160 = the
monthly interest received by customer for one month)(.05 or 5% = the declared
rate of return for referral commission)=8(14 = the number of months invested) // $112.00.
 
The rate of commission would be slightly higher if your downline invests
in the Premium Plan


This is the gist of the "Recovery" Plan and not set in stone as changes could come
into affect in the future. The Investment I am now in will last for 14 months and
the Admins have committed themselves to that.



However....now it's one day, one week and one month at a time to see if this
new strategy will work out for all involved. A couple months from now if everything
is running smoothly, I am sure members prefer getting paid regular, instead of the
Admin's "folding" which they considered as an option in their update but obviously
moving ahead with the changes...whew!

This brings me to my opening paragraph where I gave a thumbs up to the Update
about a recovery plan with GNI. Let's face it...what happens when 98% of the programs
online run into trouble. The Admins fall silent, scripts drop offline where Hosting is
canceled or just no payments being issued while the program continues sucking
in more unfortunate investors into the scam. Therefore, I respect the forthcoming
of the crew from GNI in facing the members and state that they are in trouble, here's
a plan we think will work.






FXEuro Opens It's Doors

In discussing FXEuro, I have to rewind the clock to when I first seen this program.

When the gals from PremiumAdsClub were in their "prime" last year and
their programs were a hit, they sent out an update about how they had invested
money with a man who know his Forex or the Foreign Exchange dealing with
International currencies.

There are umpteen programs claiming to do this with a percentage being
legitimate and actually making money off the "ever" changing differences
between two different currencies.

At that time they were paying me on time and well into profit so I decided
to signup with the new program the Admin, George Greenburg, launched
called... FXEuro on September 30th, 2009.



Well the girls apparently parted ways and after additional launches to drum
up more funds to rekindle their past success and pay back former member's
pendings, who weren't as fortunate as I was to get out in time, they have left
the scene amongst a cloud of unpaid people and past glory mired by unfulfilled
intentions to do the right thing.

In all this I have to thank them for introducing me to the FXeuro as it has paid
me consistently throughout and today has opened it's doors to allow new members
to register. There are several plans to ponder over on the Home page of the site
and George issued a lengthy update today about his reasons for allowing more
members and since it's self explanatory...I'll add it here:

As soon as we went private we started getting bombarded with the "Please let me in"
requests. Well as I said before I didn't feel comfortable leaving very large amounts of
money with the FX Broker that we were currently using.

So I went on the hunt for a broker that was willing to work with us and segregate our
funds to ensure that in the case of force major we are still covered and the members
of FXEuro will not lose their funds as a result. Trust me when I tell you that this is and
should always be a main concern of any high level trader.

So after looking for a few weeks I came across a broker that was not only willing to
speak to me but is also what is known as an "STP" or "straight through processing"
broker. Basically this means that this broker has nothing to gain financially by playing
dirty tricks that other forex brokers will sometimes play. IE...they aren't a casino. This is
a very good thing and further goes to ensure the safety of all members funds at FXEuo.

Reading between the lines here and similar to the "Surf" and HYIP world I am involved in,
an honest "Broker" is hard to find. Remember in today's world and more so in "hyperspace",
it's all about "me". Looking after "Number 1" and whatever they can do to line their pockets
with money. There are only a few that care and will work with you to try and help you succeed.
Notice I added "try"... because the rest is up to you to make it happen.

D9 and Cash Cows

Glad to see D9Funds or District 9 Funds taking off with currently over $19,500
in upgrades with 152 active members into the 5th day.

I got paid this morning from my first cashout request with the autosurf and now
it's surfin' until next Tuesday when I can request again. There is a maximum of
two cashouts a week permitted and I requested withdrawals to two processors
so that fills my quota.

If members are like me, I want this one to have a good run and get some life
back into the surf world here online. I already saw a couple 12 by 12's, where
you can earn 144% in 12 days, spring up since D9's launch but taking a wide
berth around them. Similar to D9' s return or lower would be reasonable to
supplement one's income heading into mid January.



From time to time I devout full articles to my fellow Bloggers who I hold a great
deal of respect for, value their opinions and consult reviews of programs in their
posts. One such Blog, is called My Cash Cow Biz, run by my buddy and fellow
Canuck, Pete.

Originality is what Pete's Blog is all about and he recently switched from GoDaddy's
Blogcast to a Wordpress Blog so the URL has changed in case you are a regular
reader and can't find  the Cash Cow. To the right, on my sidebar, you can see Pete's
Blog as well and it will take you to his site with the click of your mouse.
