I've been around for awhile and have seen a ton of  programs
come and go online. The old adage still holds true today from
when I first joined and experienced till' now ... only 5%, or less,
of the programs online today will make you a profit and provide
consistent growth.

When an innovative idea to start a program is hammered out
and put into action, the Admin is probably left tapping his finger
on the desk when it Launches... Will it catch on?
Will it be popular?

When "The Plan" does catch the interest of people like me online,
the word begins to spread and the money starts to flow.
"Here we go boys... fasten your seat belts." .... lol

After 4 to 6 months... some members and onlookers are beginning
to think about the success the program is having. Let's use Just Been Paid
as a prime example and there were many sites before JBP that fit
into this scenario. These folks begin to look at scripts and thinking.
"If they can do it... I can." If only it was that simple... eh?

Of all the programs that have copied Just Been Paid's exact plan...
how many have survived or are paying members in the same time
frame since Launch Day.

Zero

What happens is the niche gets too watered down and folks are
jumping from program to program looking for additional earnings
and perhaps abandoning the original site that started it all, which is
a mistake in my opinion. I'm guilty of that as well and did make
profits with a couple of the opportunities I joined but there's no
lasting power to them.

But... the difference is, I never changed my strategy with Just Been Paid
and received payment yesterday after midnight as always. No one
can predict the future here, although some try, so it's always about
what's producing and paying this week, or this month.

Last week... there was flurry of new Matrix programs out and based
on the popular "2x2", which JBP made popular. I happened to notice
the majority are using the same script with the programmer, who developed
and sells the sites, making a quick fortune this month.

So... here we go again. A chap started something and boom! Multiple sites
pop up after promoting the same concept but with different angles to the
original plan.

When things do go sour, as an Admin watches his Payment Processor
accounts dwindle... there are a few that want somebody, or some program,
to blame and it turns into a childish affair of bickering and hanging the
causes on others. Like David Carradine way back in the popular Kung Fu
series..."Gord... it is time for you to leave." I'm one who accepts the risk
when I join and don't bother to read other folk's complaints in Forums, etc.



Peace brothers and sisters

I have my own opinions of what goes wrong with programs but beyond
that, all this extra chatter is a waste of time and energy.

Can the program be saved?... is my main interest and let the Admin do his
revamp thing. If so... I'm there to support the program. If not... time to move
on and think about what went wrong and try to avoid it the next time when
I see similar events unfold. That's not always so easy. If your a chess player
you know what I mean... lol

As we are into the last full week of April already and going
full bore into May, I thought I'd do a brief snapshot of the
headliners currently in the Biz at this time.

Keeping in mind... as programs falter in this money making
cyber world... I'm usually building on new opportunities and
constantly looking ahead for new prospects that will produce
what the Biz is all about... adding growth and profit.

JustBeenPaid remains the top program with over half a million
people signed up and barreling forward at a high pace as
always. My payments continue to be received in the same
time frame as when I joined over a year ago. Awesome!

A week ago ... JBP updated the JSS "2x2" Matrix priority
placements need some tweaking specially as member's $10 Tripler
positions are expiring at $15 on a daily basis in the hundreds.
Within the last week, I have completed 5 "2x2" Matrices solely
by JBP placements. That's a wicked bonus for sure.

Currently... I'm buying $10 Tripler positions as the next "restart"
is a few days away and then it's into an expected 90+ day run
before another occurs. It's becoming a routine with me and I
know what to expect so I'm prepared. In the meantime, I don't
altering my strategy from day to day... a steady build process.

Mint.bz is the new upstart in the Biz and is still in prelaunch until
the 1st of May. Last week, another 200 members joined and
the "active" ratio is 61% upgraded so far. That's exceptional.
My main squeeze is the "2x2" Dragonfly membership, which
allows me to purchase units, or tokens, at $24.99 each that
earn me a fixed rate of 2.5% per day. Compounding on these...
I'm building on my daily pay from the program.

The Admin, Chris, and his crew are doing a good job managing
Mint and update members weekly on the progress of the program.



newGNI, the only HYIP I am in, had a hard week but emerged
and remain as one of the top programs in that niche. Constant
DDoS and blackmail attempts were all brushed aside by Jurgen,
the Admin, as he will not be deterred from moving his program
forward. I use SolidTrustPay with newGNI.

The new link of newGNI is newGNI.net and it's business as
usual there. The site had to be shifted to avoid further DDoS
attempts. Way to go Jurgen!!

Wealth 4 All Team seems to be like a magnet and really has that
attraction factor happening with it's unique "TAP" compensation
plan. My previous article went into detail about the program
and doing the TAP.

The Admin updated about a new payment feature being phased
in for members "outside" the USA and where I'm in Canada...
I got set up with "Paylution" this morning.

The Admin, Danny, brought this in where Alertpay has a temporary
block on payments being issued "outside" of the US from New York.
Within the States there is no problem. I'm using SolidTrustPay as a
payment processor with W4AT currently where there are no restrictions
with that processor at this time.

Winding up for today... T2MoneyKlub and Compound 150. Members
are asking ...What's  up with those programs? Dave, the Admin,
finally posted again that more than likely.. a "restart" is in the works
and the latest I read... that process will begin when the programmer
can be reached. That's all I'm aware of at this time until Dave updates
to all the membership. I'll add any news on that issue in a future article
where it seems ... a lot of work has to be done yet to get the program
back on it's feet.

Alertpay remains my most utilized payment processor and I've
never had an issue with them all these years. Coming up real quick
in popularity, is SolidTrustPay and I'm using that processor more
and more these days. Both are based in Canada and both are doing
an excellent job of handling my virtual funds.

In this online business, one has to be constantly planning and
looking ahead to be successful. The money making programs
that are bringing in the steady money now might not be viable
in six months from now.

There are also times when an opportunity I passed on earlier
is becoming a hit and I'll backtrack to size it up again. Hmmm...
that one is working well and producing what it preaches after
all. Rule #1 with me is to register and fund on opening day
or as soon as possible. Rarely do I veer from that rule but
Wealth 4 All Team is one of those exceptions.

W4AT's unique step up plan is producing and turning heads
while about 200 people per day are now joining the program.



Danny Cianciulli, Admins W4AT and the program accepts
Alertpay plus SolidTrustPay. An additional form of payment
that involves bank account and MasterCard debit card will
become available for Canadian residents.

I'm currently using SolidTrustPay where Alertpay has put a
temporary hold on processing payments to members "outside"
of the United States. That restriction applies only to 3 States
at this time of which, New York is one.

Getting down to the nitty gritty ... I started with $26. $10 for
the membership fee and $16 to purchase a TAP or Training and
Advertising Package. Here is some information on how it works....

Q: How do i earn starting with only $26?
A: When someone starts with minimum $26, are paying for the
membership fee $10 and buy your first TAP 1.1 using
Make Payment link Every 10 days will earn 4.50 this amount
will be added to cycle bucket Payments and continue accumulate
till $16 is in cycle bucket than the system will purchase next
TAP for you and from now on the money will be split 50/50
between cycle bucket and cycle payment, you can withdraw
any amount accumulated under available balance.

On the exterior... the overall plan looks complicated but the
system does all the work so it's all about a strategy on how
much to fund and mapping out future earning targets. Then, it's
wait for the funds to filter into my account balance while I work
my other programs in the Biz.

Q: How the TAP system works?
A: Basics are this using TAP-1 series as example you pay $16
each for a TAP and it consists of 5 AU's advertising units which
cycle every 10 days and you pay $10 for them plus a $6 training
module that does not cycle. The costs of each TAP series varies
and escalates in price. There are 12 modules in each TAP series.

Ever 10 days the AU's you have cycle to pay you approx 50% of
what you paid for them and they do expire after a number of
cycles. Cycle earnings split into 2 buckets cycle bucket for
repurchasing new TAPs and cycle payments you can  withdraw
after 10 days but if you choose to you can repurchase more TAPs
using the full 100% cycle earnings right after daily cycles completed.

Here is what each TAP in each level contain and how much they pay
you per cycle. There are 12 taps per tap level and must be purchased
in sequence.

TAP1  - Costs $16 and contains 5 ad units - Pays you $4.50 per cycle.
TAP2  - Costs $32 and contains 8 ad units - Pays you $7.20 per cycle.
TAP3  - Costs $64 and contains 16 ad units - Pays you $14.40 per cycle.
TAP4  - Costs $128 and contains 32 ad units - Pays you $28.80 per cycle.
TAP5  - Costs $192 and contains 48 ad units - Pays you $43.20 per cycle.
TAP6  - Costs $16 and contains 5 ad units - Pays you $4.50 per cycle.
TAP7  - Costs $32 and contains 8 ad units - Pays you $7.20 per cycle.
TAP8  - Costs $64 and contains 16 ad units - Pays you $14.40 per cycle.
TAP9  - Costs $128 and contains 32 ad units - Pays you $28.80 per cycle.
TAP10  - Costs $192 and contains 48 ad units - Pays you $43.20 per cycle.

Each tap pays 100% for the first 6 cycles and then 50% for the next 6 cycles,
it then matures and ends its cycling.

You will already have other taps bought with the reinvestment plan and
so there are always a growing number of taps and ad units paying you
each cycle.

A whole lot of dry information I know but that's the basics of W4AT's
compensation plan. It's becoming a growing attractive opportunity for folks
who are interested and for those currently participating.

As I scan around the niches I make money with in this
online world, there are only a few opportunities right now
that have lived up to their promotion and name.

When a program launches it takes time of course to see
how it develops and if it will be an ongoing hit with the
people out there, like me, that participate. Utmost...
will it have that "lasting" power?

Mint.bz is in pre-launch right now and it's one I fund regular
plus review here in my Blog. Mint has all the goods to become
a head liner with it's attractive script, plans, weekly updates
and responsive support. Daily email updates on how my
purchases are doing in the Mint are also a feature I like.



Chris and his crew have now launched the "Dragonfly".
This is a step up from "Buddy" membership and the compensation
is also higher. Instead of dissecting the Dragonfly plan and
loose something in the presentation... I'll add the highlights here.

The main point that interests me is that the Dragonfly offers a
"fixed" interest rate of 2.5% per day after surfing the required
5 sites per day, which only takes a few minutes.

----------------

New Membership called Dragonfly (available NOW!)
 
Membership Fee: $25
Recurring Purchase: $14.99
Initial FSB Amount: $2.5 per Member
Initial FSB Amount: $1.0 per Referrer
Re-Cycle Earnings: $75
Total Matrix Earnings $90
 
So first, there is a new Matrix making everyone up to $90 for every
6 members joining! (2x2 Matrix)

Token: Spectacle

Price Per Unit: $24.99
Credits Per Unit: 7500
Expiry Type: On ROI 200%
Daily ROI: 2.5% Fixed
Earning Frequency: Daily
Hold Earnings until Expiry: NO
Allow Principal Withdrawal: NO
Principle Return on Expiry: NO
P! er Purchase Minimum: 1 UNIT = $24.99
Per Purchase Maximum: ! 400 UNIT s = $9996
Daily Maximum:  200 UNITs
Minimum Active Requirement: 1 Advanced Token
Membership Requirements: Dragonfly
 
The maximum purchase is 200 Units a day and 400 Units in total,
per user!

-----------------------

And... that's the meat and potato of the Dragonfly. I pounced
on the membership and spectacle this morning.

As a Bonus... the Admin has thrown a lottery into the works
as well...

Every single Unit you purchase gives you the power to be in a
weekly lottery. Every 7 days the system picks one purchased
Spectacle Token, the owner of this token receive one additional
free Spectacle Token!
 
Every 14 days, owners of the Dragonfly Membership enter the
Lottery and the winner receives a free Spectacle Token. He also
receives one free Advanced Token! The Lottery doesn’t stop here;
every 30 days, two lucky Members will receive 25,000 Advertisement credits!

Cool.... there is nothing wrong in my books with a little stirring
of the pot by adding lotteries and bonus offers. For the most part,
successful programs today, add in something extra for members
and I, for one, appreciate it when I'm on the receiving end ... lol

Mint is still two weeks away from it's official launch and I'm sure
the Dragonfly will boost membership by that time

Being the main shipping port on the east coast of Canada,
the city of Halifax has a long naval and maritime history.

Back in 1912, on April 15th, the "unsinkable" ship, Titanic
went down with over 1500 souls lost. That event is remembered
here every year and specially in 2012, marking the 100th
anniversary. People from all over the world have descended
on Halifax to take place in ceremonies and events.



Being around the ocean all my life, I know there is nothing
built that is unsinkable. Even on flat calm waters like the night
Titanic was steaming through, there are perils that can
take down anything man can build. Today, we have state of
the art communications, weather electronic gear, radar,
sonar, etc. but ships still go to the bottom and/or get shipwrecked.

Like Aircraft ... 95% of the time, trouble is caused by human error
and it costs lives unfortunately.

Speaking of human error and switching to the online money
making world.. the closed membership, T2MoneyKlub, is
having a problem and the issue is compounding daily. Payments
are not being made to members since at least the 10th of
April and the task setup is not working. On top of that
the Matrix part of the program which was scheduled to kick
in at the end of 75 days, is questionable right now.

Compound 150, which is an off spring of T2, has pendings
piling up as well.

This all started when Dave, the Admin took a few days off
and now members are waiting for an update to see what's
happening there.

A simple solution would of been to put out a general update
to the whole membership and disable withdraws until he returned,
ready to go back to work. Failing to do that... there are now
hundreds of payment requests in the books to be addressed.

Hopefully, the Admin has a solution for the state of affairs
currently hampering the program.

Meanwhile... JustBeenPaid continues on and I got paid from the
JBP crew again just after midnight. They also completed another
"2x2" Matrix for me in the JSS site of the program and I'm
thankful for that.

The "Restart" is probably about a week, or less, away I figure
and JBP updates that another 90+ day run is in the works after
those calculations have been completed. That should happen
all on the one day, within a few hours.

Sixteen more days to go with Mint.bz and it will be into full
launch mode starting on May 1st. I'm expecting an update from
Chris and his crew on this new "Dragonfly" install on his site
tomorrow or Monday. An additional income opportunity within
the Mint.

There's not much I like about winter these years specially
where I'm getting older and want to make like a snowbird.
Snowbirding is the annual migration of Canadians who
also want to escape winter and head for the south to
Florida, California, etc.

But... there is one thing I can think of that winter keeps
out of the house and out of my hair....bugs!  lol

Here, where I live in Nova Scotia, it's not too bad. Little
black ants send scouts to see how they can infiltrate my fort
and eventually find an opening. However I'm ready for
them and give them a dousing of Raid... game over.

Speaking of bugs... mint.bz has thrown something new at
it's 500+ members this morning with the Admin's weekly
update and that is.... "dragonfly" is coming, which will be an
additional opportunity to make some money within the
program.

That's all Chris is leaking out at this time. To participate, a member
needs to be upgraded to the Mint membership, which is an
initial $10 called "Buddy". I did that on Day One and have a "2x2"
Matrix filled while working on another. Meanwhile I surf 5 sites
per day, to earn on my positions daily.

Dragonfly will be unveiled on April 15th while Chris and his crew
work in the coding for the script.

As a boy, I remember being interested in insects. Searching
for them and sometimes bottling them for closer observation.
I named them all... George. But... dragonflies freaked me out...
I seen them as miniature helicopters with teeth. Horsing around one
day, I felt something on my shoulder and when I looked.
Holy crap! There was a huge chopper sitting on my shoulder
looking at me. Brushing and running I made a bee line for home.
Finally the dragonfly lifted off and I had to run into the house
to change my underwear.




The other big news in the Biz, is the upcoming "Restart" for JustBeenPaid
in less than 14 days. Updates reveal, it will be a much less impact on
member's Tripler spots and some won't be affected at all. Meanwhile,
I see a general consensus among members that this is the time to continue
plus purchase new Tripler positions, where they will not be included in the
Restart calculations and will earn 150% on $10 positions. I've expired many
since the last Restart and more will mature in few days.

Happy Easter to all my friends and readers. Thank you
for stopping by and having a read through my ramblings.

What do I ramble on about? Mainly how to make a steady
dollar online and that's not an easy feat. Like everything,
some find it second nature and have no problem making
a steady income from their online business while others
struggle.

It's definitely not as easy as it looks but with time and experience,
plus gaining knowledge from the good, as well as, failed
opportunities, you'll make head ways. Many stories of the
successful, except those that were born into money of course,
recount stories of their past failures and how they didn't give up
on their visions and future goals.

My uphill climb to that plateau, is keeping an online pool of funds
on hand and growing on those funds... works for me. In this
business, there will always be a scatter loss but they are absorbed
by the successful ventures I enter.

I have to admit... I can be too conservative at times. There have
been times I could of made a lot more money than I currently
am by investing large amounts but hindsight is 20/20 and there
is no knowing the outcome with a particular program. Keeping
on track with my strategy, I opt for the slow build rather than
taking high risk chances. Too many horror stories of people
online loosing thousands by going too heavy into an opportunity
not knowing the future.

Although... my current Biz programs are doing well... there is an
overall glut of new worthwhile programs at this time. That can
change overnight but many launching now are offering percentage
rates that are too high and they will burn out quick. 1 to 2% is
ideal and up to 3% is a worthwhile opportunity run by the right
crew, or Admin, but above that... be careful guys.

Looking at long running programs that I have had a profitable
experience with and have been online for over a year are Zeekler
and JustBeenPaid. Each has made adjustments where... what
worked 6 months ago needs a tweak to keep the flow of incoming
to outgoing capital sustainable, both for the Admins and members
involved. Changes had to be made or they would go under and
that's the way it is here online.



Every weekend... my daily rate with Zeekler dips from the normal
weekday income I receive into my cash balance. Nothing unusual...
been like that for months on end. JustBeenPaid has now adopted
this as well. I'm not sure if it will be a permanent thing but the JBP
team knows that the weekends are slower, so they have adjusted
the daily rate for Saturday and Sunday to 1.5% per day on $10
Tripler positions that still expire at $15 or 150%.

Both programs pay me on a schedule and have stuck to that since
Day 1, which is the main thing and keeps both at the top of their
perspective niches.... at this time.

Meanwhile, it's onwards... one day, one week and one month at a
time and that's how you have to approach online programs keeping
some backup cash on hand just in case one, or more, run into
irreversible trouble.

Yesterday... JustBeenPaid was hit with a DDoS attack and
the usual protocol is that the Host takes the site offline until
it is over.

Today, JBP is back online and updated it's back to business
as usual and payments will resume today or tomorrow. Members
missed a 2% payment while the "attacks" where keeping the site
offline but that's no big deal, where $10 positions expire at $15
in the Tripler, regardless.

Last Monday, mint.biz issued it's weekly update and the Admin
reports good progress with sales and a steady increase in
membership. Good Stuff.

For some reason I take a hankering to some programs more than
others from the information I can gather. It seems Mint has an
enthusiastic crew behind it and wants to make the program succeed.
That's what I like to see.



Is it possible to "over promote" a program to the point that it's
making people think twice. Certainly. Specially, when it comes
down to over anxious promoters that can't predict the future of
a site no more than I can, while making negative comments about
other successful programs in the process.

It's like attempting to tear down a rival's building so their's stands
out and is taller... more recognized. What these people fail to see
is.. that many people in their program are also members of these
other sites that these promoters want to downplay, which then can
have a reverse affect on the membership as a whole.

For example... If your making a steady weekly or several weekly
withdraws from an ongoing program that's been around for a
long time, you certainly don't want to do anything to hurt that
site and put a dent in that steady money coming in.... right guys.

So... if you have an upline or promoters that are taking steady shots
at that program that has been paying you long before this current
site appeared... what's your feelings towards that?

Me? I get very upset about it and the respect I had for those people
that use these unprofessional kindergarten tactics... "mines better than
yours" attitude, drops like a stone in a pond. Concentrate on the program
at hand and give the attention seeking a rest. All this only causes unwanted
trouble.

Where does all this stuff start? Forums... and the reason I don't bother
to look at the various threads anymore. It's very difficult to ascertain
what is fact and fiction.

Meanwhile... it's onwards, in the never ending quest to find additional
worthwhile opportunities that can produce a profit and add growth
to the Biz. My experience has proved that settling with one program
to make it happen for years to come, is not a wise strategy.

This is last day of March, as we head into April and start
that month off with the annual April Fools Day.

I'm not the brightest light bulb in the pack when I first
get up in the morning until I get that first mug of coffee
into me and that's when I get caught by the Missus sometimes.
She'll have this April Fool's trap set for me, which makes
her day when I fall for it... lol



The biggest thing happening today... Compound 150 is
open for registration and members can fund their "Main
Accounts" with AlertPay, SolidTrustPay and/or LR.

Purchasing the $10 positions that expire at 150%, will be
enabled at 8 PM EST tonight. C150 will be a site with
no tasks and no processor or membership fees.

So tomorrow.. there will just be Compund150 while
T2MoneyKlub closes registration for that site. I have
a lot of opinions on that move the Klub is making but
I'll keep them in check for now.

The JustBeenPaid crew sent me two identical payments
yesterday to my STP account. Now... the JBP crew have
been around for a long time and the Tripler site itself, has
been running for over a year now. They are providing me
with a platform to make money and I support that. With
that in mind, I promptly sent the second payment back
that will be used to pay another member or members.

With an experienced Admin, or Admins, keeping to a timely
payment pattern and all the membership having a mutual respect
for each other, as well as, providing continuous support for
the program, an opportunity can survive a very long time online.

In my previous article, I mentioned that T2MoneyKlub was
gearing up an additional and separate revenue source and
that launched last night.

The new program is called Compound 150 and while the
script is a clone of the Klub's script, it is a site on it's own
and Klub members register with Compound 150 as new
members along with those people who are interested.

The plan is simple and basic. 1% per day for 150 days which
expires with a $10 position earning a member .... $15.

When 3 of these $10 spots expire in 150 days they will create
a free "Dream Matrix" position for that member with a potential
to earn an additional $25... what I call the bonus money.

Alertpay, SolidTrustPay and LR are accepted by Compound 150
and funding will be enabled on Saturday. I'll update about that
but the current time set for enabling purchases is 08:00 PM EST
on the 31st of March.

Unlike T2MoneyKlub... there are no monthly fees, payment processor
fees, or limits which I am sure the majority of people seeking to
make a dollar online, prefer.

I registered last night and look forward to funding the program this
weekend. Dave, the Admin, has a solid record of paying me on time
to date, so I have no hesitations about putting money into Compound 150



In Nova Scotia, Canada where I live... I frequent the diners in the city
of Halifax when I'm in there and at the door, there are more and more
free pamphlets that have several jokes and historical facts plus other interesting
information. Encasing the text are advertisements from local businesses,
announcements, etc. That started with one last year and now this
"marketer's pamphlet" is spreading into other communities, each with their
own version so it's obviously catching on and the businesses are happy with
free advertising they are gaining. Each pamphlet has it's own online site as well.

Anyway... some of the jokes can be hilarious and one brought me to near
tears with laughter yesterday. Enjoy...

The Arrogance of Authority

A DEA officer stopped at a ranch in Texas and talked with the old Rancher.
He told the Rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegal grown drugs."
The Rancher said, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there...", as he
pointed out the location.

The DEA officer verbally exploded saying, "Mister, I have the authority of
the Federal Government with me!" Reaching into his rear pants pocket, he
removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the Rancher, "See this badge?!
This badge means I am allowed to go wherever I wish... On any land!!
No questions asked or answers given!! Have I made myself clear....
do you understand?!!"

The Rancher nodded politely, apologized, and went about his chores. A short
time later, the old Rancher heard screaming sounds, looked up, and saw the
DEA officer running for his life., being chased by the Rancher's big Santa
Gertrudis bull... With each step the bull was gaining ground on the officer,
and it seemed likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety.
The officer was clearly terrified.

The Rancher threw down his tools, ran to the fence and yelled at the top of
his lungs.... "Show him your BADGE, show him your BADGE......!!"
