Well well, yet another "Too Good To Be True" Program Launch!
I'm not surprised. Over the coming months, there will be
MANY more of them. But this one "Takes the Cake."
HELLO? Anybody home?
Has anyone done the MATH on this one?
I haven't seen this many email promotions since - oh since
last week, when it was Webprosperity.
Actually, to be fair, I have seen even MORE ads about this
Latest Greatest Program.
YUK.
It does get tiring, doesn't it?
But really, this one is just preposterous.
Take it from me. The ONLY people who will make any real money
with Push Button Extreme are the heavy promoters (no shortage
of those), and those who got in at the very second it launched!
Sorry to have to break the news, but even IF you joined on
Day One, you will make little to nothing.
You would have to be at the very top of this program to get
any real benefit out of it.
And, Guess What?
You will NEVER be at the top of any of these types of launches.
Please understand, those who got in early...and I mean DAYS before
we ever heard of it, took multiple positions, and then they invited
all of their personal friends and family.
So, even if joined on Day ONE, you will NOT be anywhere close
to the top, and you will NOT make anything substantial as a
passive member.
Now, if you choose to promote the program, you can make some
VERY nice commissions, but you will have to do so knowing that
the program is aimed at people who want to earn PASSIVE INCOME.
I actually joined the dumb thing so that I could review it,
but I will NOT be promoting it to anyone...EVER.
Just my two cent Gripe.
Till next time.
P.S. The products look ok, but they are certainly not worth
the monthly fee.
Again...just MY opinion.

OMG...it's Life or Death
You know, I just have to laugh.
I think I have gotten at least 100 emails this month
about a new program called WebProsperity.
OMG...they make you think it's a life or death
situation.
You MUST join ASAP, so you can get tons of Spillover!
Guess what?
There is no such thing as spillover, unless you are
on the first level of a very heavy hitter, and even
then, you will not get much spillover.
Think about it.
It's a 2x matrix. So, even if you are in the first
level of someone's downline, your upline will have
to fill in at least 4 positions for you to even
get ONE person in your downline.
And, even if they fill the next level of 8 positions,
you will still only have 2 people in your downline.
BIG FREAKIN' DEAL!
And, for what?
What kind of m.oney is that going to make you???
I hate to break it to you, but you will NEVER get
enough commission to even pay your monthly fee, unless
you go out and recruit for yourself.
My point?
NEVER join a program because of the hype being promoted
for Spillover. I just doesn't exist.
I know.
I have done those types of programs many times.
I have joined them and then promoted to my contacts
that they should join right away so they could get
tons of spillover.
Guess what?
I brought in over 100 people myself, and yet my
downline didn't ever make a cent!
So, my message to you is this:
DO NOT bother to join the latest, greatest program
for the spillover, because it will not be enough
to even pay for your monthly fee.
ONLY join if you are going to actually use the products,
and ONLY hope to make any m.oney IF you do the recruiting
yourself.
MORAL of the Story?
Never rush to join any program.
There is no need to rush.
If the program is any good, you will be able to join it
a year from now. If it's that good, it will still be around
at that time.
And realize that you most likely won't make anything
unless YOU are an active recruiter.
Read my Blog Post about Spillover here right on this
blog. Just click over to the right (2006).
In the case of this latest, greatest program...Webprosperity,
the products don't even interest me, even though a lot of
very active marketers have emailed me about it.
I already use Aweber, which is the very best autoresponder
on the net. As for the rest of the program tools, I have
no need for any of them.
To be honest, I just don't even understand WHY I am getting
so many email about this program. It just doesn't do anything
for me.
In fact, most of those who are promoting this program are doing
so just for the commission they will make off of you. They
will probably never even use the products.
Just understand, that you most likely will make NO in.come
and you probably will not get any substantial spillover either,
unless you are the first level of a very heavy hitter.
And, here's another little tidbit.
If you are going to join under a so-called heavy hitter,
he/she most likely has already invited his/her best
friends into the program. Either that, or they have
taken out multiple positions.
In other words, you will NEVER EVER be on the first level
of a heavy hitter, which means that you will most likely
NEVER get any spillover whatsoever.
There, got that off my chest. PHEW, I feel much better.
I guess you can tell that I don't think much of matrix
programs.
Been there, done that...got the t-shirt.
End of Story.

What's Wrong with Gifting?
Many of you already know that I don't do gifting.
But, for those of you who don't know, I will tell
you WHY I don't do it.
Actually, there are a couple of reasons why I won't
and don't do Gifting.
#1. I believe it is illegal, immoral and unethical.
Phew, that was a lot to say, even though it was just
one sentence.
You may or may not agree with me. Doesn't matter.
You can do Gifting if you like, and if you disagree
with my opinion, you can unsubscribe from this email.
#2. Well, what can I possibly add to #1?
Well, first of all, you will hear from many people that
Gifting IS perfectly legal. Well, I am not a big fan of
the U.S. Government, but nevertheless, ORGANIZED Gifting
is NOT legal to my way of thinking.
Yes, there is an IRS rule which states that you
can give a GIFT of $12,000 to anyone of your choosing,
once per year.
Well, excuse me, but I am not so stupid as to not
know the purpose of this rule.
It is meant for giving a Gift to a family member
or maybe a friend. And it means that you are giving
that Gift without expectation of anything in return!
Now, does that sound even remotely like any of the
multitude of Gifting programs you have seen floating
around the Internet lately?
NO WAY!
What you will see is ORGANIZED Gifting, where you
will need to pay your Sponsor a certain amount of
money - let's just say $500.
When you send your Sponsor that $500, you will also
need to send along a Signed and Dated piece of paper
stating that you are giving a gift WITHOUT any
expectations of receiving anything in return.
What a CROCK of BULL!
Now, if you don't mind signing your name to something
like that, good enough, but I know I couldn't do it,
as it is a bold-faced LIE.
I mean, let's face it, you would only be giving a "Gift"
with the expectation of receiving TONS of gifts yourself.
In fact, IF you didn't think you were going to be receiving
any "Gifts" you wouldn't be giving any of them at all.
In fact, I believe that Gifting should really be called
Getting, because that is really the WHOLE POINT!
Now, I am certainly no expert on Taxes, and personally
I think we already pay more than enough of them, but
most of the Gifting programs I've seen will also lead
you to believe that your Gifts are tax-free income.
Well, I don't know about you, but I DO know about
Uncle Sam, and I know he isn't going to be too
happy when he hears about all of the millions
being generated on the net - all tax-free.
And, as if that wasn't enough to turn you off to
Gifting, let me ask you this...
Would you be PROUD to tell you friends and family
that you were doing "Gifting?"
I know that I wouldn't even want to try to explain
that to my friends, my parents, my children and
my grandchildren.
I just simply would NOT be proud of it, and that is
MORE important to me than any amount of money.
In my opinion, the U.S. Government will be coming
down on Organized Gifting in the near future, and
I sure don't want any part of that.
Not only that, but I personally don't feel good about
taking money from anyone unless they are getting
something of value from me.
When you do Gifting, you have to take people's
hard-earnedmoney and they NOTHING from you
in return.
That SUCKS for them, and you will feel BAD about it!
Heck, if folks are going to pay you good money,
they should get something for it, don't you think?!
That's why I believe that Gifting is both Immoral
and Unethical...Bottom Line.
Now, if you want to know what programs I DO recommend,
and which I suggest you stay away from, just visit
my website:
http://lifetimeprosperity.com/moneymakers.html
I wish only the best for you, and I will NEVER
refer you to any of these types of programs. You
can trust me on that.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Howard

Did you get scammed by ASD?
Did you get scammed by ASD?
I don't wish to be the bearer of BAD News, but
if you were in ASD, then you have most likely
already heard the news.
I didn't want to be the first to bring it up,
because I know how painful it is for anyone
who was a member. That's why I waiting a couple
of days.
If you don't know what I am talking about, then
you probably never joined. And Good for You!
ASD is/was a Paid to Surf program which tried
to say that is was different from all those who
had preceded it. Well, sadly is wasn't.
IF you don't know what a Paid to Surf (PTS) program
is, then you are REALLY lucky!
But here is the lowdown on PTS Programs.
A PTS program is similar to the tons of Manual
Traffic Exchange programs out there on the net,
with the exception that they PAY you a certain
amount of money for viewing websites, whereas
regular traffic exchanges don't.
So, when you join a PTS site, you generally put
in some money upfront to purchase an Ad Package.
Now, for your purchase, you get the normal advertising
perks of having the other members of the program view
your website in return for you visiting their sites.
BUT, there is a HUGE difference in a PTS program.
And that difference is that the PTS program
promises to pay you a certain percentage per day
of your original Ad Purchase.
So, let's say you bought an Ad Package for $100.
In a PTS program, you would earn a percentage of
that $100 (usually about 1% per day), as long as
you surf the required sites per day - usually
about 15-25 sites per day.
WOW...1% per day you say! Holly Cow! I could get
rich if I would just buy $1000 in Ad Packages!
Well, hold on right there.
The problem is that there is NO way these programs
can pay you 30% per month UNLESS they are using
Ad Purchases from new signups in order to pay out
to the people who joined first.
In the case of ASD, they assured members that they
had outside sources of income to pay for the returns
on the Ad Purchases, but it was all a big lie.
And, guess what? It's ALWAYS a LIE.
I know, first hand, because I used to be in many
of these PTS programs, before I knew any better.
In fact, I was probably in 20 of them, and they
all went bust...EVERY one of them.
That's because they are really nothing more than
Ponzie Schemes. And what is a Ponzi Scheme. Well
it's a program whereby the early investors make
money off of the late investors' backs.
Now, I must say here that many people get into
these programs without knowing any better. And
they recruit others, not knowing any better.
So, the real BAD GUYs in these programs are the
owners and the Big Players, who know better, but
keep recruiting others just for the Big Bucks,
because they earn hefty referral commission on
those recruits.
I am just so glad I didn't bite on this ASD thing,
even though I was approached over and over again.
If there's anything I've learned on the net, it's
that there are tons of programs out there that will
just SUCK the money right out of your pocket, all
the time knowing they will eventually go down, as
soon as a few people complain, or as soon as the
government gets wind of them.
I want you to know that the bottom always fall out
from under these program that promise to pay you
a certain percentage per day for sufing websites.
Do NOT fall for them. Just run the other way.
If you want to know what programs I recommend,
and which I suggest you stay away from, just
visit my website:
http://lifetimeprosperity.com/moneymakers.html
I wish only the best for you, and I will NEVER
refer you to any of these types of programs. You
can trust me on that.

Wowzza...why I won't be joining
Why I won't be joining Wowzza:
The main problem I have with Wowzza is the Hype
that a person can be totally passive and still
earn $1,800 per month.
It just isn't true...not even close.
And that is my main beef with a lot of programs online
today. They try to make you believe that you can make
money without doing a thing, and that just isn't true.
The ONLY exception is investing your money, as in
a bank account or the stock market or any type of an
investment vehicle.
Well, M.L.M. is NOT an investment...period.
Do NOT think that you are going to earn anywhere near
$1,800 a month in this program, or any other program,
unless you are willing to do some work - actually,
a LOT of work!
As long as you understand that, and as long as your
recruits understand that, you'll be ok, should you
decide to join this program.
However, I must warn you of one important thing:
There will be a massive fallout in a few months, from
people who came in thinking they were going to make
money doing nothing.
That's what usually happens when people come into an
M.L.M program that uses the "Massive Spillover" theme.
Those hapless souls will come in thinking they are
going to make $1,800 via the Massive Spillover. But,
after a couple of months, and after they have paid out
the $66 ($33 for two months), and after they realize
that they got NO Massive Spillover, they will be
dropping like flies.
IF Wowzza can stand on its own, as a legitimate
Social Networking site, some people might actually
stick around, but don't count too much on it.
WHY?
Because, there are already tons of F.REE Social
Networking sites, so there's really no reason to pay
$33 a month, except to make money with it...period.
And, there would be nothing wrong with this either, except
that the site implies that you can make good money without
doing a thing, and that is just not true for the majority.
If fact, only those who got in very early or who recruit
tons of people will make any REAL income here.
This Comp Plan isn't very exciting if you ask me. You only
make $1 per person residual income (excepton level 2, where
it's $3 per person), and you need 12 people below you in
the matrix just to break even.
Also, this program uses the desceptive Powerline Recruiting
System, which I really do not like. It leads you to believe
that there are tons of people in YOUR downline, when actually
those are just people who have joined the company, and they
are NOT in your downline at all.
So...for these reasons, I will NOT be joining Wowzza anytime
soon. You can read more about the Powerline Recruiting System and my
thoughts on Spillover by in my other Blog Posts.
Just My Two Cents...

This Comp Plan isn't very exciting if you ask me. You only
make $1 per person residual income (excepton level 2, where
it's $3 per person), and you need 12 people below you in
the matrix just to break even.
Also, this program uses the desceptive Powerline Recruiting
System, which I really do not like. It leads you to believe
that there are tons of people in YOUR downline, when actually
those are just people who have joined the company, and they
are NOT in your downline at all.
So...for these reasons, I will NOT be joining Wowzza anytime
soon. You can read more about the Powerline Recruiting System and my
thoughts on Spillover by in my other Blog Posts.

What happened to I4B?
Spring is almost here and that makes me glad,
but, when it comes to I4B, I'm just plain MAD.
First, there is the question of "where did it go?"
Now there's a $6O million dollar question for ya!
Well, if you joined it, then I am quite sure you
noticed that it is no longer online. In fact, if
you click on the main domain, it forwards to another
website altogether...a site called stealthmoneymaker.
UPDATE: Well, it DID forward to that site last time
I checked, but just now when I typed in the I4B
url, I just got a blank page.
Next, there is the question of "who owns this new site?"
Another good question, and it seems that it is
owned by a man who calls himself Alan Humphreys.
Well, that's all well and good, but what happened
to Jon Davies, owner of I4B?
Another good questions indeed.
I have been trying to figure that out for the past
couple of weeks, and I guess nobody really knows
for sure, but I do have my speculations.
I firmly believe that Jon Davies and Alan Humphreys
are one and the same person, so it's anybody's guess
what his REAL name is.
The reason I believe this is because I wrote to "Alan"
and asked him what happened to I4B. He wrote back and
said he had no idea. He told me he simply purchased the
domain and then redirected the traffic to his site.
Well, I know that many people do buy up expired
domain names just for the traffic, but that is NOT
what happened here. One reason I know that is because
it all happened too quickly. One day I4B was online
and the next day it had miraculously turned into stealth!
Another reason I am sure of this is because of the
similarity between the two programs. Why, it's simply
uncanny really. They are almost exactly the same,
right down to what's in the member's area too.
Whoever owned I4B also owns Stealth, and while
I cannot prove it, I am 99.9% sure this is the case.
I have searched the web, hoping that someone else
might have more info, but I can't find much at all.
Therefore, I decided to just let you know what I
believe, and leave it at that.
So, what we are left with is someone who called
himself Jon Davies, and now calls himself Alan
Humphreys, and who is not the nice person he
painted himself to be.
After all, he never gave any of his members any
notice that he was closing down I4B. In fact,
all I4B referral links did point directly to
the Stealth home page, meaning that Mr. Alan
probably made quite a few commissions on those
who were advertising I4B.
Now, I have gotten a few emails from people asking
if they should join this new program (stealth). My
answer, of course, is NO WAY! In my opinion, this
Mr. Davies/Humphrey person is a crook, and I will
forever be on the lookout for any program that
resembles his work.
Another nasty thing he did was that he not only
took away our business, but he also took down the
Member's area that contained all of the products
which we were promised for our $40. Not nice at all.
Well, bully on Mr. Davies-Humphrey, because I have
all of the downloads saved to my computer. Therefore,
anyone who has paid for this program, and would
like the package of products only needs to send
me an email request, and I will get them to you.
Other than that, there's nothing any of us can do
about events like this except move on to bigger
and better things, and try to be more careful
next time.
The Internet, by its very nature, is extremely
volatile, and anything can happen at any time.
You must always be prepared for change, and you
must realize that everything has an element of
risk to it.
But, here's another important TRUTH...
No Risk...No Gain.
When you find something online that appeals to you,
you should do your research and then decide if you
are willing to take the risk.
If you are, then go for it, and don't look back.
Take certain precautions to protect your investment,
such as downloading any products which you have
purchased. This way, if the program goes down,
you have your money's worth.
Anyway, I4B was a nice little program, but it's
Gone With the Wind now, and that's that.
"Thanks a lot Jon Davies, wherever you are."
Sincerely,
Cynthia Howard

Gibline or Giblink - Whatever - I Won't Be Joining
Problem #1:
What the heck IS the name of this company anyway?
Is it Gibline or Giblink? Does anyone know? I mean even the members can't get it straight! Case in point: here is the subject line from an email that just hit my inbox: "Cynthia, You Must Join Gibline/Giblink Now!"
Uh...thanks for the invite, but no thanks. I'm really not comfortable joining a company that appears to be suffering from an Identity Crisis!
Problem #2:
It seems every person on the net has joined "it" except for me, which wouldn't be a bad thing if not for the fact that it has turned my daily SPAM into a total bore.
I mean, I'm used to being bombarded by a new horde of pre-launches every day, and now 90% of my email is nothing but gibberish!
Problem #3:
"It" is being promoted by some as the next MySpace, YouTube or even Google. Now I can only muster up one comment to that: "People...Get a Grip!"
Now, to help you come down to Earth, just ponder this thought for a moment: Do any of those companies revolve around a bunch of mlm junkies looking for some passive residual income? I think not. And this brings me to...
Problem #4: In my eight years of marketing online, I have learned a thing or two, and one of those two things is that distributor-based opportunities don't last very long.
Here's why: If the product can't stand on its own, as soon as things slow down even a little, people will start dropping like moths on a bug zapper.
Problem #5: Does anybody even care what the product is? Well, we all know the answer to that, so let's move on.
What bothers me the most about Gibline/Giblink is the compensation plan. And here's why:
Straight-line Matrix Programs Flat Out Don't Work! It's as simple as that. Now, there are, no doubt, millions of people in the world who are not aware of that fact, but I know for a fact that there are many people (ie: heavy hitters, ponzi players, money-game players) promoting Gibline who ARE aware. Yet they go right on enticing people to join, knowing full well that anyone joining now will most likely NEVER see a dime.
Here's a short lesson on the life of a straight-line matrix:
First some heavy hitters get in with multiple positions. Then they start recruiting others with the promise of passive income.
This is very good for those who got in first, as they will be cycling and making boatloads of money. But, after a few weeks, things will slow down a bit. The heavy-hitters will stop promoting and will move on to the next big thing. Meanwhile, all those who joined late will be left behind.
It is inevitable, and those at the top, or those who have been around awhile know this to be true.
The math is impossible, and numbers don't lie. In fact, any matrix structure which claims to pay out more than it takes in is nothing more than a ponzi or a money game.
In fact, many are comparing Gibline / Giblink to another, similar program that ran successfully for a couple of years before it finally died, leaving many people financially devastated. I won't mention any names here, but suffice to say that this other program did more damage, in more ways, than I care to even think about.
And I do try NOT to think about it whenever I get the chance, but lately it's darn near impossible.
Every day I receive an invitation from someone telling me that I MUST join Gibline / Giblink because it's similar to "XYZ" program.
Well I've been suffering in silence long enough.
It's time to come out and say "that's precisely Why I Won't be Joining."
There, I said it and I feel much better now. At least until I check my inbox and come across the next invitation. Geesh.

DO NOT Fall for these BOGUS Email Blasters!
http://www.gmailpro.net/
http://www.highly-responsive.com/Halloween/index.html
http://www.adblasters.net/
http://super-grouper.com
http://myspacemailer.com/
It is unbelievable that there are people who just want to scam you out of your money and provide you with absolutely nothing of value, but it's sadly true. Even sadder is that innocent newbie marketers join these useless blasters as resellers and then recommend them to others. They just don't know any better most of the time, and they probably aren't tracking their own results from the blaster or aren't even using it, so they don't realize it doesn't even work.
As a general rule, any Blaster that says it will email millions daily is probably bogus. Especially if it says you won't receive email from other members. There may be an exception somewhere, but I haven't found it yet.
