The Team

Gord — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 09:11:00 GMT

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.

The 3 and 5 Day Plan

Gord — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:09:00 GMT

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

Premier League Shares Pays Out First Earnings

Gord — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:09:00 GMT

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.

Ol' Faithful and Turmoil With the "Big Boys"

Gord — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:16:00 GMT

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.

A Little Ditty About Short Term Plans

Gord — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:36:00 GMT

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

Boom and Bust

Gord — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:17:00 GMT

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.

More Involved Than Just Watching A Soccer Game

Gord — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:24:00 GMT

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.

It's A Quick Out...Who Will Know

Gord — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:35:00 GMT

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.

End Of February Roundup

Gord — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:45:00 GMT

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.

It's not all good though as GNI, or GoldNuggetinvest, issued an update that
payments to members, namely me, will be extended beyond the 28th of this
month. How much longer this process will take was not addressed. With
March coming in, they'll be receiving that months withdrawal requests starting
on the 1st so that will put an added burden on their coffers.

With all these factors, I figure GNI will further lose credibility and there won't
be many new invests coming into the program...not looking good at this point
but see what the upcoming weeks bring.

In the autosurfs, I'm still sticking with the one program and that is Fast Traffic
where the Admin, Marc, is making members happy with fast payments and
surf bar bonuses.

There's a lot more going on behind the doors of my Biz while I'm still on the hunt
for a program or two similar to those that made headlines in 2009, where there
was a lot of money changing hands. Fast cash and fast payments generate a
sense of excitement causing a snowball effect as onlookers take in the news
and get involved. However, when to say that's enough and get out is the key.

What's on the radar screen? Well...I have a boggy coming in with an eta of a week
that could be an interesting HYIP from the emails I received so far. Still in the works
and if it develops into what is forecasted...it could be a worthwhile investment.
I'll write an article about that when the site is up and it's to my liking.

Fast Traffic And A Fledgling HYIP

Gord — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:11:00 GMT

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.

Customer Satisfaction

Gord — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:06:00 GMT

Suppose you have a problem and need to contact support or customer service.
Somethings not right about that credit card bill and you get on the "blower"...
push 1, push 5, all our customer service agents are currently busy and
will get back to you asap..please stay on the line and then this little ditty starts
playing in the background. Some sound tracks are catchy and begin to tap
a foot or hum along but other tunes like "My cheatin' heart..." make me chuckle.
Ahhhh...I haven't got time for this and slam down the phone but the worst
thing is I have to try again later...groan.

We've all been there right? What about those times when the option you
want is not there....to return to the main menu..press 9 and then that
infuriating...dial tone...crap!

So...when I attempt to contact a support service and they are right there...
"Can I help you sir?" Holy cow...is this for real..lol. Then I'm totally impressed
when that happens.

Case in point. This past weekend I invested in a HYIP with Strictpay and
my account was not updated. Happens sometimes, when the API is not
set up properly. Waited an hour and submitted a support ticket. After almost
two days elapsed and more support tickets to the Admin...I was getting
nowhere. No funds showing in my account and missed ROI.

Then I thought of Strictpay. Submitted a Support Ticket. figured it was going
to be awhile but within a half an hour...bingo. After a couple exchanges.....
I asked if that transaction could be canceled and my funds returned. An hour
later...my funds were safely tucked away back in my Strictpay account.

Now that's service!

Usually I'm a laid back and calm guy but when the Admin of this HYIP would
not reply to my issue I started to get upset and I just had enough and made it a
mission to get those funds back and thanks to the Strictpay people...they made
it happen.

And what happens when your a satisfied customer...if your like me..you continue
to do business with that payment processor, merchant or service that takes the
time to help you out.

HYIP Funding Ground Rules

Gord — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 18:07:00 GMT

As I dig deeper into the HYIPs, I have set some ground rules for myself which
an investor should consider and have in place.

The experienced already know all this or I assume they do but... #1 and the "biggie"
...don't invest more money than you can afford. You don't want you or your family
to suffer financially and remember this is High Risk which can earn you a High
Yield or income.

Got to get back the funds you invested or an equal amount of your "seed" money,
as quickly as possible. Using Genius Funds as a template here, I earned back
the amount I put in for the term. Now I am into profit plus can withdraw my principal
as well. This takes the pressure off me wondering about recouping my initial spend
and can afford the luxury of keeping those funds in the program to continue to earn
me a profit, which I am currently doing.

The short term plans can be lucrative, easy and have a quick turn around of a just
a few days with your principal returned. These come with an even higher risk factor
and you need to be careful. I just moved in an out of two different HYIPs...first was
for seven days and then another for five. Total return...127%. These come with various
term lengths and ROI. Researching and going into the most popular and advertised
will increase your likelihood of getting paid.

Some cool and attractive scripts out there along with "top of the line" protection but
no one can say 100% that yes...that program is into Forex, stocks, or the rare mineral
game. Not unless your a fly on the wall with a itty bitty laptop letting information hungry
investors know...ok...this one is into the corn oil market....lol

Comes back to taking on the risk and for all the launches that happen in a given week,
there may or not be, one that runs for over a year or more and provide an investor with
a growing profit, month after month.

With that comes "diversify". It would be a perfect online Biz world for me if I knew that
Genius was like my bank here at home. Never a worry and could pump funds in there
to my heart's content and reap the rewards but I have to build on other programs at
the same time to maintain that cashflow just in case. It's just smart business and who
knows...you could be in profit with 3 or 4 of these gems at the same time.

People are doing just that but it takes time and there are going to be losses along the
way but that's why you should spread those chickens..or...eggs, which ever came first,
around.

The Hunt For Another Genius Part II...Doing A Panama!

Gord — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:13:00 GMT

On the tail end of my last article below, I mentioned I'm in the hunt for another
Genius Funds, specially a HYIP that accepts Alertpay.

As I dig deeper into this high yield, high risk arena, with such a huge variety of
programs and just keeps growing daily, a lot of research and deliberation
takes place. Sometimes you have to throw all caution to the wind and go for
it when I see one that makes my mustache twitch...lol

Today my buddy Pete informed me that the oldest HYIP around right now, that
I can see anyway, Panamoney is now accepting Alertpay after dumping a processor
they were having problems with. I have been a member there for ions but had not
invested which I could slap myself for..wake up Gord! With the addition of Alertpay
I made the plunge.

So...that's the old and "long term" with a modest ROI. Reviews are everywhere
about the program so no need to bore you with that.

To have a healthy spread I have been watching a relatively new program that is
turning a lot of investors heads as well and that is called StarkFund, which I
also joined. StarkFund has the weekly plan which is what I like about being
with Genius. In the $100 to $1000 range, the weekly rebate is 7% of my invest.

Spreading my funds into the old and new, I'm getting that "diversify" thing happening
and will continue to further spread out into programs in between that have a paying
history and good reputation.

"Doing a Panama" is from the movie made from the book "Saraha" written by my favorite
author...Clive Cussler. A good mix of action, adventure and comedy. To elude the bad
guys in the movie, the heroes...Dirk, Rudy and Giordino rig their high powered boat to
explode and headed it back towards the pursuing boats while the boys jumped off
and admired their handiwork. No bad guys left...they happily swam to shore however
the owner and their Boss wasn't too impressed with the Panama when he realized
what they had done.

Kind of relates with investing in HYIPs. Making a "one way" decision to join and invest,
comfortable with the move but not 100% sure about the outcome or "staying home" and
pondering about an opportunity lost.

The Bunny With The Money and The Hunt For Another Genius

Gord — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:19:00 GMT

Yesterday, I added a new widget to my sidebar on the right..a bunny with the
money. This is an original design from Team Prosperity and links to the "team"
Blog.

What's it all about and how come I haven't heard of it? This is a board game that
pays and is for the serious "player" as you can see on the Blog which explains
the entry fees. This started in Europe and I'm not permitted to display the name of
the Board game at this time only to say it has thousands of members on the other
side of the "big pond" and moved into North America where it's picking up steam.

The compensation for moving from the outside of the initial board to the center
and pushed out into the next higher paying board is high compared to your average
run of the mill programs on the go that are similar in nature.

The Prosperity Team is growing quickly and as members come in, they are placed
and aligned for the quickest possible push through the boards, while also being put
in a priority list to jump to the next board with a higher compensation. Compared to an
individual going it alone, members of this team are sticking to a set strategy and plan
while cycling through the boards. Bringing in a couple people into the team is good but
if not... the full time "builders" are picking up the slack and filling spots on the boards.

Finishing up for today...the HYIP...Genius Funds has far outperformed my expectations
and is ranked high in it's field. I got paid again within the hour again this morning after
making my usual Monday morning withdrawal request. Now...I'm on the hunt to duplicate
the run I had with Genius, with a program that also uses Alertpay as a payment processor.
There are a few possible "candidates" that have been running for a few months and plan
to invest as I continue to watch the growth.

However the risk that hangs over these programs makes it a tough task and can hit
a person hard in the pocket book if the program they choice takes a nose dive. To make
money... you have to spend money so onward and I'll post about my venture into this
precarious high yield, high risk world.

Mid February Roundup

Gord — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:50:00 GMT

Tomorrow will be the 14th of February, Valentine's Day and mid point in this
month. It's getting dark later in the evening and looking forward to Spring,
my favorite time of the year.

I'm in 3 autosurfs now, two which have been around for a long time and are
making a gradual comeback with a change up in their plans and strategy.
The latest is low ROI but never the less will probably long outlast the high
flyers on the go now and that's... Fast Traffic.

Shifting to the HYIP scene, which is slowly becoming the choice of "players"
in this field of making money, I'm receiving payments from my "regulars"
which have been around since Noah was an oakum boy. One that I added
recently, started back in July of 2009. I ignored it until finally registering and
watching my free $2.50 invest begin to slowly amount to something. That
program is called HYIFund.

I related to the HYIP in my last two newsletters explaining it's a very simple plan.
Register...receive your $2.50 and watch your earnings come in daily, 7 days
a week and then decide, keeping in mind the ever present "risk factor" involved,
to invest more funds. Alertpay and LR are accepted.

This Admin is a smart cookie and as members see those few pennies a day
begin to add up they are thinking about withdrawing. A minimum purchase
of $1 will release those funds for cashout. All in all...a neat program that's user
friendly, easy to understand and can be used for gathering some "seed" money
or for the adventurous, like me, to put more funds in and hop on for the ride.

Almost like "on the job training" for HYIPs if you are thinking about going deep
and investing into more lucrative, usually "multi planned" affairs.

Overall...it's still slow going and there has been no "huge" program yet that people
can get in and make some good money for a few months. HYIPs...a never ending
launch of these so I'm selective which ones I get into. High ROI autosurfs are not
so appealing as they used to be where the threat of "hit and runners" cleaning a
program out after the first round has not been solved yet.

GNI Quieting The Hecklers

Gord — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:53:00 GMT

As GoldNuggetInvest continues to roll out the payments, there are a lot of relieved
investors who have been down this road many a time. "Folks....we have a problem,
going to halt payments and start up again on a specific date". As the clock ticks down
and it's supposed to be payday...nothing and the Admin(s) are nowhere to be found.

Well...this is on of those rare times where GNI is rising up above a cloud of doubt and
clearing out the pendings from cashout requests made from the 1st to the 7th of February.
This is still an effort by the crew of GNI to restructure and renew trust with their program.
No doubt still have an uphill climb ahead of them yet but it's a "big" step in the right
direction.

I wrote a previous article with a warning that the copycat arbitrage programs, where the
initial two sunk with their ridiculous weekly rebate incentives, were steering customers
away from GNI and most likely resulted in a lot of "principal" requests. More than likely
wishing afterwords...these programs never launched.

This same state of affairs caused a lot of trouble with the "Profit Share" sector with similar
programs launching daily at times and although the damage has been done It's good
to see GNI living up to their commitment to members and restore some belief that some
Admin(s) honor their "word".

I haven't been paid yet and have the patience to wait where payments can take up to the
28th to be completed. Just happy to see some folks getting paid.

Fast Traffic

Gord — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:38:00 GMT

Browsing through the Forums on the weekend a Surf caught my eye, called
Fast Traffic, and I investigated it further where it was a Free affair but now
the Admin, Marc, has decided to make it a money maker.

Zooming in on the thread on MMG I read the posts there and did a brief
back and forth question answer session with Marc where I like to see
how responsive Admins are. Definitely more subtle than the 9% programs
going on but at 1% per day until you achieve 130% of your upgrade will
no doubt... out last these High ROI programs.

The surf bar also contains random cash prizes which is an added incentive.
Hey! A penny earned is a penny saved...right? An upgraded member can
cashout with a minimum of $5 in their account, once daily...Monday to Friday.
Referral commissions are set at 5% of a downline member's purchase.

There is something you have to get accustomed to on the site, which the
Admin is working on. Registration, Login and backoffice information has
a default black and I have to hold down on left click on my mouse, while
scrolling over the areas, similar to copying and pasting, if I want to highlight
the data in these spaces.

I read on John's Blog a long time ago and not quite in these words but
investing in a program that doesn't get the usual hype can sometimes
surprise you and make you some profit. John's smiling face is on the
right sidebar and you can click through to his Blog.

The 8 Month Term

Gord — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:18:00 GMT

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

Gord — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:37:00 GMT

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'

Gord — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:56:00 GMT

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.
