September and Hurricane Season

Gord — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:51:00 GMT

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.

A GBC Facelift... More about Ad2Million and Something New

Gord — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 19:14:00 GMT

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.

End Of August Wrapup

Gord — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 11:04:00 GMT

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.

Remember 10DollarsWonder?...Now There's Ad2Million

Gord — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:39:00 GMT

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

Club Updates as the Month of August Winds Down

Gord — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:22:00 GMT

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.

More About Strategy

Gord — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:33:00 GMT

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.

Let's Talk About Strategy

Gord — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:46:00 GMT

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.

Living The Dream...One Man Who Never Gave Up

Gord — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 09:22:00 GMT

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.

Clones....What If?

Gord — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:30:00 GMT

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.

Mid August Round Up

Gord — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:18:00 GMT

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.

All About "Clubs"

Gord — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:40:00 GMT

I have mentioned the Prosperity Game here on my Blog a few times in
the past and it started back around October of 2009. The Team skype chat
is as lively as ever and the Prosperity Team continues to move members
up through the board game that pays.

Recently two "groups of four" positions advanced and members were
paid as the Team continues to roll on.

Prosperity is focused on starting members on the 150 board of the Game
at a reduced rate for "group" spots with fees divided equally among 4 members.
So 4 people are needed to fill a group spot (PO4 position) and also get paid
accordingly.

Or...a single member can enter at the $150 level called a PO1 position. That's
where your's truly started at... purchased a $150 position and I'm in profit from
that buy.

Today...I'm introducing GrandBankClub , which is concentrating on entering
Club members at the starting board which is the $40 board. This in turn does
help moving Prosperity Team members move around the boards as well but
focusing on Club members getting into profit starting at the 40 board and
moving up through the next boards which are 75, 150, 300 and incredibly
up to where some people are... on the 15,000 board!

Exiting each board, provides cash plus additional position(s) that will re-enter
at the 40 level under that member and he or she will earn from that as well
plus aids in moving all Club members around the boards.

This can get pretty complicated and I want to keep it simple. GrandBankClub
is providing an opportunity for members to make money outside of HYIPs,
surfs and MLM programs. The in-house "Pay It Forward" plan caters to
the "passive member" providing "free" 40 level positions and those that
promote the board game will help all Club members move up through the
boards at a steady pace as new members join.

I'll be digging deeper into the compensation plan and the game boards in
future articles keeping it as simple and easy to understand that I possibly
can. That means I'll have to keep my rambling on and veering off course
with related topics to a minimum...lol

In closing for today...Club Asteria issued increased "Profit Share" rebates
from last week where yesterdays calculations realized 8.5%. Good Stuff!
More money and Asterio Points for members.

The name of the game right folks.

Koch, Munich and Me

Gord — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:10:00 GMT

Six months after I graduated from High School I was a sailor in the Canadian
Navy and on my way to Boot Camp. That's a story on it's own and a rude awakening
for a Mama's boy.

During that six months hiatus, I was trying to "find myself" as the youngsters say
today. Which path will I choose to begin my adult life as I prepare to leave home
for the first time. During this time I went with my parents on a holiday trip to Germany
...my second within 5 years. My first trip, I recall all these stationary tower cranes
everywhere we went. Dad said "we" are still rebuilding after the war.

Most memorable was my boat trip tour on the Rhine river. Awesome, as we slowly
passed Castles hundreds of years old along the hills and banks of the river. All I
can remember how beautiful it all was and trying to imagine what it was like back
in them days. I mean..where were the toilets? What if mother nature calls when
your way the heck up there in one of those towers...where's the nearest indoor
"outhouse"...lol

A tour we took when I was "wondering about my future", was traveling to Munich.
and stopping outside the famous HofBrau house where Adolf Hitler began his
rise to power by first getting a couple people interested in his vision and then
eventually exploding from there. We all know the history of his reign of terror
after that. At that time, I didn't know this is where Hitler started but I seen it
on a documentary years later which detailed one of the assassination attempts
on his life when he returned for annual speeches in the HofBrau house.

Inside....able women were carrying around fistfuls of 1litre steins full of beer
and the noise was enough to deafen you from all the chatter and music. Not to
be left out, I quaffed the ale along with a hearty meal of sausage and bread. It was
a stifling hot day outside and the cold ale was more than a relief as I became more
and more talkative...lol

As usual, I went into more detail than I wanted where the above was supposed to
be a brief introduction leading into an update about a HYIP called Koch income
out of Munich, Germany, that I joined in the last week of July.

I'm into my second term with Koch with the 7 day plan as improvements have been
made by the Admin such as payment notifications and I received an instant LR payment
today. Alertpay is also accepted by Koch.

The program seems to be getting more popular as it ages which comes from the
steady payments the Admin is issuing no doubt.

Keeping in mind it's a HYIP and risky, I have to confess I was initially attracted to the
site where it's originated in Munich, Germany and reminded me of my trip there.
We all have our weaknesses I guess. The lure of the "game" is also in there somewhere
that brings out the gambler in me.

The Latest with Club Asteria

Gord — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 17:19:00 GMT

"To make money, you have to spend money" is a principal anyone wanting to
start a business has to embrace and understand. Whether you're interested
in entering into a "franchise" venture or building something from the ground up.

Online...it's no different. There's a lot of "Join for Free" which gets you in the front
door but soon it comes down to the issue of making a payment of some kind
to get started.

Club Asteria , Is a prime example of this where earning capacity depends on the
money you put into it. Each Asterio Point is worth $1 and the more you have of course
... the more you will gain from the weekly "profit sharing" runs. Also, like the majority
of programs online, the more you "work" or promote your referral link and have people
come into your downline...the more extra income you will make in the form of referral
commissions and bonuses.

The compensation plan is all laid out on the site and I have went into some detail
here is earlier articles as well. The "profit share" for this week calculated last
Thursday came in at 8% and fluctuates with actual funds in the "pool". Checking
the Forums today I seen payments ranging from just over $10 up to $800+ for one
week. The latter is no doubt impressive but obviously someone with a large and
active downline referring back to the part I mentioned about "working" the program
can make you some big bucks.

On a personal standpoint...I'm a "loner" in the Club to date and watching my Asterio
Point total build each week solely from the weekly profit share rebates. It takes some
patience but we all know how quickly that clock ticks away and I'm seeing my point
and cash balance growing. In addition, another 20 Asterio's will be added from my
$19.95 monthly payment via Alertpay as a Gold member.

In closing...my writing is actually an "escape" for me today where my Dad, which I
also wrote some previous articles about, passed away last Friday near midnight.
The last year he did not enjoy life as he was in a lot of pain from a decease and
cancer that slowly took hold and grew.

He has been already cremated awaiting a family memorial gathering when we
can all get together sometime in the near future. We'll celebrate his life and his
ashes will be brought out to sea, which he loved, as I do.

Certainly agonizing and tough to deal with but I will always remember his parting
words. "Son..do not cry for me but be happy when I go because my pain will be
gone forever."

What's Happenin' in August to Date

Gord — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:15:00 GMT

Tomorrow will mark the first full week in August and with the "surfs"... two
programs are paying me regularly while I advertise my opportunities with
them. ProAdsClub is the most popular at this time run by TonyAds, who
admitted to making mistakes by offering too much, too quick with prior
defunct programs and is staying low key this time..doing the slow build thing
...nothing fancy.

Just providing a service and pushing out regular payments. GreenAdsClub,
a similar surf had a rocky start but has paid me on time with every cashout
request I make. Both programs offer daily cashout plans.

With the HYIPs, Funds-O-Matic had some major issues with the Host,
Randy the Admin is hooked up with but back to normal today. Randy plans
to add SolidTrustPay as an option with his payment processor lineup. He also
hinted in a previous newsletter...there is an "incentive" on the way but
no further details on that yet.

Otherwise, it has been a quiet week with those categories as I look over
new launches that surface daily. Some of these plans are laughable...
180% in one day and junk like that. These guys have a screw loose up
there somewhere and hope nobody gets involved in these obvious scams.

Gold! Everybody wants it and the financial experts say you should think
about gathering some together for the future as paper currency is slowly
become more unstable as history has shown. Gold fluctuates with the
markets today but it will continue to increase in value where it was around
$800 an ounce a couple years ago and now around the $1200 mark.

Yesterday's market price was $1197 per ounce of Gold nugget.

Compared to Forex...Foreign Currency Exchange and watching/comparing
countries currencies as they shift in value with economic, political and
catastrophes that are unforseen...an investor can concentrate on a single
precious metal such as Gold.

Online...there is a general warning to beware of companies or programs
that use Gold as a product or "vice" when it come to MLM or downline
building.

KB Gold came on the scene this week and has grown into a hot ticket as
the program from Munich, Germany makes preparations to launch into
the USA and Canada next month. The product for the "passive member"
is a steep 50 Euro per month contract which is about 60+ US dollars at
this time. What a member is purchasing is a card( looks like a credit card)
with Gold imbedded in small quantities of 1 gram and 0.5 gram. Something
like the debit cards banks issue now with a "chip" inside for extra security.
Mine is actually gold in color..lol

On the outside looking in...KB Gold looks great!

A member can get in on buying Gold at small quantities where this market usually
limited to large investments when it come to the buying/selling of Gold. For the
"active marketer" or a member who wants to grow this thing, there is a lucrative
compensation plan similar to MLM..with the focus of putting three "builders" on
the front line and grow these three lines deep.

KB Gold states they have their own Gold mine in Turkey, and office in Switzerland
near where the world famous Swiss institution stores Gold.

Ever since this came out I've been doing some snooping and getting educated
on the "spread" where one pays over and above the actual price for a gram or
ounce of Gold. Yep...just like Forex, where Brokers take a "cut" or fee for being
the middle man between a Trader and the actual Foreign Exchange, there
are "middle people" with gold where cash in converted to gold and on the
other side of the "ingot" ...when it comes time to sell...gold is converted back to
cash. The holder incurs "Fees" on both ends. KB Gold is no exception.

A German Television investigative reporter dug deep into this so called "company".
There is no Gold mine, no office in Switzerland and after interviewing some
influential financial experts...KB Gold? You get the picture.

Back to this "overhead", "fee" or "margin" charged by KB Gold (German site with
today's prices) to purchase their Gold...it's significantly higher than other companies
or financial institutions will charge and I assume this is to "fuel" this MLM "type"
compensation plan of theirs.

Right now it's free to register and it doesn't launch over here in North America
until next month as they convert Euro to US dollars into a plan that is "inviting"
to the masses. I registered, got some feedback from readers who are knowledgeable
in the "trading" of gold and did some snooping of my own.

I came, I saw, I looked into it...now I've left through the same door I came in.

A superstitious thing..always go out through the same door you entered. I haven't
been hit by lightening yet so it must work...lol

Short Plan HYIPs and Lady Luck

Gord — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 11:54:00 GMT

As I stated in earlier articles, I'm backing out of the "short plan" HYIP area
of making money here online. Today it's akin to walking into a virtual gambling
Casino. I'm feeling lucky and there is that air of excitement as I look over
the tables all with floating, revolving holographic names over them like
Final Earn, Cash Rain and many more with the Admins being the "dealers".

Only here...some of the Admins deal from the bottom of the deck and
after letting me win a round or two...they give me "loaded" dice and I lose
it all.

This week I picked the right tables and got paid by Cash Rain. There was
a major script issue and red flags where popping up everywhere that the
Admin had run off with the loot but he got er' all fixed up and paid the "pendings".

4XProfit that was doomed from the start with all the negativity about the Admin
using an Alias, paid me a refund yesterday of my total principal explaining his
decision and closing up shop before anyone else invests there...exiting with
a "clean" record.

Suddenly...the realization struck me that there still are some "good" people out
there running these programs despite all the doom and gloom as 95% are over
run by those that work through the night devising the ultimate scam.

In the end... it's all about being "lucky" and hooking up with the right Admin
that will pay until the end. One still has to get in early and my rule is Day 1
because although you have a "skipper" you can count on, even allowing for
"outside" income if any...it all revolves around a constant registering of
new members, new money plus re-invests from those already involved
to keep the ball rolling.

There was a time...the masses would flock into a program run by one of
these "good" guys and the program would run on for months. With the
exception of a very few, the "old timers" wonder if these lucrative times will
ever come back.

Tomorrow, being Thursday, Club Asteria will issue another round of "profit share"
rebates and I'll update about that on my next article with the percentage of the
share I received.. As a "passive member" my account is slowly growing and the
auto 80% compounding feature is building my Asterio Point total weekly.

Surf/Non-Surf Hybrids...A New Trend?

Gord — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 17:48:00 GMT

With regards to long term programs...July was a good month with the programs
and Admins I decided to hang with. On the flipside, the short term plan HYIPs
was pretty well a disaster after being profitable with them in the first 6 months
of 2010.

I predict it will only get worse on the "short timer" front where crooked Admins
have the lionshare of this market running planned scams and using aliases.
That trend is done and I'm moving on from that.

What's new and interesting then as we are into August? Surf/Non-Surf Hybrid
programs are becoming increasing more popular where the higher earning plans
involve auto-surfing a few sites and cashing out daily. These come with lengthy
plans like 30 and 60 days which puts them in the category of a Mid-Term Program
...3 to 6 months of shelf life depending on popularity I figure.

Since we are into what's new and exciting...ProAdsClub launched this morning and
at the time of this writing, it's about 6 hours old. Two plans of which one requires surfing
and as soon as you have viewed the required number of sites on the auto-surf rotator
you receive 3% of your upgrade available to cashout. The term is for 60 days.

The optional Non-Surf Plan is 2.5% for 60 days with daily cashout available as well
and earnings go into an upgraded members account every 24 hours after the initial
deposit. Alertpay, SolidTrustPay and LR are the payment processors the Admin,
TonyAds has onboard his program.

Overall...ProAdsClub has attractive plans and caters to those who want to surf, advertising
their stuff, plus a plan for those who just want to login and cashout. The Referral Commission
package is standard at 5% for active or upgraded members. Will this kickoff a new trend
that will grow into the fall and end of 2010. I'm certainly routing for it and seems to be bringing
people back to the "surfs" category that has been quiet for a long time.

Premier League Shares Update

Gord — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:31:00 GMT

The Traffic Factory, which is around 535 days old now...lone survivor of the
flourishing "profit share" days of 2009, is run by he same man who is the
Admin of Premier League Shares .

Premier League Shares is 150 days old today and a young pup in comparison
to Tony's first enterprise, which is still paying. Certainly a lot of uncertainty
when it comes to people still interested in the Surfs and HYIPs of 2010 compared
to the summer of last year. Some say we are in a crisis and it won't recover
while others believe the fall will see a turn around after this annual slowdown
during July and August.

A welcome accomplishment by PLS and here's the update from yesterday...

Tomorrow we are 150 days old and we are still going strong,
I think it is a tremendous milestone, so to celebrate I am
offering a nice 20% Bonus to members who invest before
Saturday 31st July Midnight. So for example if you invest
$100 you get a nice $20 Bonus. This has to be new investments
and not reinvestments from your cash balance.
With the new Premier League Season fast approaching our team
are getting ready to put their unique plan into overdrive
and that means profits for each and every member.
I am excited at the prospects for PLS in the coming months
and with your continued support many more members will be
joining the hundreds of members who are already in good
profit.

Regards Tony

Premier League Shares offers a variety of plans with daily, weekly and monthly
terms. The plans start at 90 cents per day for a maximum of a $100 upgrade,
5 to 5.8% for the weekly plans and 27 up to 33% for the monthly plans, depending
on the amount of principal you invest.

All the major payment processors are accepted including Alertpay, SolidTrustPay
and Liberty Reserve. I'm looking forward to the next milestone which will be 180
days marking 6 months online and I've been onboard since Day 1.

Something Old....Something New

Gord — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:42:00 GMT

To my surprise and I have to say good fortune as well, GalacticAds,
a surf which launched over two months ago, is still paying members
at a regular pace and that's what makes happy campers. Tracy, the
Admin there, is doing a good job of holding that one together

The surf bar has cash and credit bonuses and I only need to surf a
minimum of 8 pages to collect my daily rebate.

What's the difference between Galactic and SNSadsClub that crash
and burned a couple days ago after running out of money? An initial
first upgrade bonus of 5% is alright in my books and a nice incentive
to get people interested. But...that should be it if you want a program
to last.

SNS's admin was constantly dishing out bonuses and brought in
short term plans to bring in more people but in the end... money was
being dished out that wasn't "paid into" the program and quickly caused
a shortfall.

So..slow and easy is good but a steady influx of new members and
cash is also needed. Consistent payments and keeping a good "rep"
intact will do that over time. However...remember....all good things
must come to an end and wish have a crystal ball to peer into the
future. If I did, I would be going for the winning numbers in the Lottery.

A new program surfaced today..new to me anyway and it has a variety of
plans that are appealing to yours truly...lol

The program is run by a German Admin(s) and it's called Koch Income .
The starting plan on this unique script is for 7 days at 1.6 % per day with
principal return. Next up is 14 days at 2% per day. The payment processors
accepted include Alertpay and LR.

I invested in the 7 day plan as a start with Koch and I'll update on my progress
there when my term expires. Hopefully it will be a winner.

Concluding for today...you need a mix of old and new programs in my opinion
where the longer running programs are a consistent source of funds.

WBwso Update - July 27th

Gord — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 12:27:00 GMT

I'm receiving a lot of emails lately inquiring about WBwso . "How does it work?"
and more importantly..."How much money can I make with this program?"
A good time to write up another article about this program that's an alternative
to the risky HYIPs and "surfs" which I also partake in...lol

WBwso is the longest running program in my Biz Obviously, they are doing
something right and staying on course with their agenda.

Let's talk about money first. The compensation plans are broken down
into three main groups. First there is the 3 year plan where a member
cannot withdraw until expiry. Yikes! Scary right? These packages have
a set capacity of funds and when they are filled, they are taken off the site.
Members can see their earnings build in their backoffices.

These are called WealthBuilder packages and currently 11 are filled and
the funds developed for these come from "Targeted" commercial websites
that cater to a specific area...such as Aviation, Health or Sports. These
websites are monitored and adorned with Advertisements from some
big names such as Google, eBay and Clickbank for example.

The commissions that WBwso earns from these Ads is what we get as
a "share" or "percentage" of in either the 3 year plan which I just discussed
or in..monthly and weekly plans.

I'm figuring, those that first upgraded into the first WealthBuilder plans are
at the half way mark. I'm in one of these but I concentrate mainly on the "weekly"
plans where I see a return added to my account balance every 7 days that I can
cashout. The terms last for 8 months and principal is added to account balances
at expiry. I have expired two of these plans with my principal returned.

The average return is from 3.2 to 3.5% per week of an upgraded members
package upgrade. Not big and exciting but what keeps this machine rolling
all these weeks and months.

That's the 3 groups...the 3 year, monthly and weekly (plus biweekly) packages.

With goals in mind...my short term goals are earning on the weekly plans to build
on my "pool" of funds in the Biz using Alertpay plus LR and of course the "looong"
term goal is the 3 year plan. Will members see these 3 year packages expire with
the compounded interest. That's certainly a tough call but we all know time flies so
I'll eventually find out. Meanwhile...I'm quite happy with the money I'm making here.

Don't Start Nuthin'...Not Going to Be Nuthin'

Gord — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:31:00 GMT

Don't start nuthin'...ain't going to be nuthin', is a perfect analogy of those
looking to make money online. I watched a new action flick..new to DVD
anyway, called the "The Losers ". A lot of shoot em' up and some comedy
mixed in. My favorite part was a very comical scene which included the line
and title of this article. After rewinding and watching the scene that tidbit
really stuck with me.

I've been going around the house all day saying...Don't start nuthin'...not going
to be nuthin'. Comes in handy and an addition to your arsenal when dealing
with your spouse, girl or boyfriend. Puts a quick cap on a brewing argument.

Scene where those famous words were spoken...lol

Bring that into my Biz here online...I've been looking and hunting for a new program
or programs to add to my list...got to keep that basket full of eggs. With the HYIPs
it's been about three weeks. It's really getting crazy there with not knowing who
to trust and filled with bad guys like on the movie I watched last night.

Looking back through to the start of 2010...I exhausted a lot of programs and
only two have stood out, got me into profit and are sailing along smoothly at
this time. Funds-O-Matic is one of those and members must be pleased
by the man behind the wheel, Randy, who had the foresight to close up and
payout members in Surf-O-Matic before opening his current program.

Long term with a reasonable ROI made this one, a headliner of the HYIPs this
year although it only opened about a month ago.

A friend told me a year ago to be wary of the same Admin running two programs
simultaneously...they will come down like a house of cards and quicker than
expected. I have to admit...he is right.

Going back to the humpteen programs I went through, The majority I exited with a
profit and got out before they folded while losing some money in others. All in
the search of a couple or few that will stand the test of time and continue to keep
paying me, building on my profit. That's where the... Don't start nuthin'... not going
to be nuthin', comes in.

I have to spend money to make money online and offline as well. Can't start a
RRSP or mutual fund without pumping some funds in there. Stocks, Forex and
I can name many more that fit in with that. Starting a Business requires money...
building it up that first year...the successful seeing that first profit and then there's
no looking back..onward and constantly building.

Right now I'm going through the summer time blues where spending is slow
and awaiting a recovery in the fall when old and new investors return to their
monitors/laptops looking for that program that will put them into the "black"
fairly quickly. I'm certain there will be a rash of new programs coming with a
couple "winners" emerging from all those launches.

Hopefully, I'll see a reversal in that downhill curve, where ever since the fall of
2009, there seems to be a continued drop in consistent high earnings which
I have witnessed from interacting with friends and seeing what's happening on
Forums and Blogs.
