that sure is good for you!</span><br />
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize
something I've really always known...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It's ALL ABOUT the TRAFFIC!</span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">No matter what you're promoting online, without traffic, and
LOTS of it, you are just not going to be successful. Even if you have the most
beautiful website in the world. Even if you are offering the best product in the
world.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Doesn't matter one bit. No Traffic = No Sales = No Money.</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Below are some of my observations and recommendation that I
sent out in an email to my subscribers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">I'm sure you've seen ads for <b>Pennies4Profits</b>. Well, in
my opinion this is just another BOGUS traffic program.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
</center>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> It's my opinion that
this program is owned by the same people who brought us <b>All Inclusive Ads,
Twice Confirmed Traffic and Submissions Works. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><b> </b></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">There are just too many similarities to be a coincidence,
so my recommendation is to STAY AWAY from it.</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">
<br />
In fact, I feel like pulling my hair out when I see ads for these programs all
over the safelists and traffic exchanges.<br />
<br />
I know for a fact that I could make a lot of money by promoting some of these
so-called traffic programs, but I just can't do it.<br />

=========================================</span>Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358757306635354710noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32716313.post-82680239335036335432013-03-23T08:02:00.000-07:002013-03-23T08:05:56.442-07:00FreeCommissions.com ...REALLY???Ok, so yesterday I got an email that said the following:<br />
<br />
FREE Commissions (This will make your day)...<br />
<br />
It was sent to me by someone I trusted, and when I trust someone, I take a look at what they are sending out when I have a few extra minutes.<br />
<br />
So, I took a look, and I was immediately struck with the outrageous income claims they were touting. I mean truly ridiculous....<br />
<br />
Like making over $10k+ in a single day - without doing a thing! <br />
<br />
I knew it had to be nothing but Hype and Lies...but nonetheless I actually sat through the entire video presentation, and clicked through the endless popups that came, one after the other, when I tried to close the page. <br />
<br />
I almost bought the darn thing when it got down to $9, but then I thought about the huge waste of time it would be to even go through reading more about it. Sometimes I let curiosity get the best of me, but this time I refrained.<br />
<br />
Shortly thereafter, two trusted marketing friends, Eric Holmlund and Pawel Reszka sent out a warning about this very program, and here are a few of their comments about it...<br />
<br />
<i>Just wanted to warn you about the next scam that launched recently. Check it out and do not buy into it. If you already bought it, get a
refund!</i><br />
<br />
<i>============================================= </i><br />
<br />
<i>The level of</i> <i>hyperbole
on the sales page is ridiculous. If you click out of the page you get 5
redirects before you actually get out, and if you buy the product you
get confronted with 7 up sells that you can't click out of until you
watch the accompanying videos. After all this you get a squeeze page
generator and an affiliate link to some hosting. That's going to make
you six figures a month? Lol, Do Not Buy This! </i><br />
<br />
<i>============================================= </i><br />
<br />
<i>Yes, the video is cheesy, and if you do the "Stay on Page" dance long
enough you can get this "system" for $1. But the BIG RED FLAG is that
you will be giving your credit card number to Clicksure.</i><br />
<br />
<i><i>I've read posts all over the net from people who have been ripped off by
Clicksure. So if you see an ad for anything that you have to purchase
through Clicksure -- RUN THE OTHER WAY!</i> </i><br />
<br />
<i></i><br />
<i>=============================================<br /> </i><br />
Ok, I will be back with more soon, so watch your email.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, here's something worthy of your time:<br />

<br />
Reason #1. Not Enough Traffic.<br />
<br />
Most days they delivered less than 20 hits
to my sites.
(NOTE: you are allowed to enter up to 10 urls,
but I only used 6 of them because I knew it
was going to be a bust and didn't feel like
wasting my time.)<br />
<br />
Reason #2. Declining Traffic.<br />
<br />
Days one and two, I received between 70 - 80
hits to my main site. Thereafter, the number
of hits my site received kept going down until
it got to just 10 or less per day. Needless
to say, I DID NOT get any results.<br />
<br />
Reason #3. Non-Targeted Traffic<br />
<br />
I knew right away that it was non-targeted
traffic, since there is no way to pick your
categories within the member's area.<br />
<br />
Reason #4.
Once I got into the member's area, I realized
that AIA is affiliated with Spin Success, which
I knew was not a good service from years back
when I tried it out.<br />
<br />
Other things that annoy me about AIA:
First I got annoyed because there was no
easy way to cancel from within the member's
area, so I had to submit a support ticket.
This took me about 20 minutes because in
the FAQ it was stated that you could cancel
EASILY from within the member's area.<br />
<br />
To my way of thinking, this should NOT require
me to write a support ticket and then have
to send another ticket after they ask me
to please stay on with them.<br />
<br />
Give Me a CANCEL BUTTON Please!<br />
<br />
If you have to submit a support ticket, you
cannot cancel at the last minute or even on
the last day because they require 24 hrs notice, and when you join, you must use a credit card,
so there is no way to cancel your monthly debit
directly, as there is with PayPal.<br />
<br />
Also, once I sent the support ticket, they
immediately stopped sending traffic to my sites,
even though I had a few days of service left
on my account.
They did this, even though, stated clearly in
their Terms of Agreement, it states the following:<br />
<br />
"If an account is canceled after 24 hours of the
initial payment, the recurring billing will stop
and the account will remain open for the remainder
of the 30 day term. Accounts must be canceled
24 hours before the next billing date to avoid
being charged for the next month."<br />
<br />
So, there you have it, although I think I could
go on and on about this Bogus Traffic Program.
I just have better things to do, such as...<br />
<br />
I'll be testing something new this week,
and I will let you know soon what it is.<br />

I was hoping to never see another Straight-Line Matrix Program since they fizzled out a few short years ago.<br /><br />Here's Why:<br /><br />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 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.<br /><br />Here's a short lesson on the life of a straight-line matrix:<br /><br />First some heavy hitters get in with multiple positions. Then they start recruiting others with the promise of passive income.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />It is inevitable, and those at the top, or those who have been around awhile know this to be true. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />In fact, back a few years ago, there were many, similar programs online, and they are all gone now. One of those 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. <br /><br />And I do try NOT to think about it whenever I get the chance!<br /><br />So, any time I see a new program such as this, I don't even think about joining, and you shouldn't either, unless you play it like a game. Put in whatever you can afford to lose and take your profits back upon your first cycle. Then play with any additional winnings. <br /><br />And, even MORE important, if you decide to promote it, make sure you tell your signups to play it the same way.Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358757306635354710noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32716313.post-77238494417220084782010-03-21T06:09:00.000-07:002010-03-21T08:23:33.899-07:00Data Network Affiliates - Are You Kidding Me?Ok, it's been a long time since I have written a gripe on my blog, and my reasons are many and of no importance to anyone but me, but I have been receiving some requests for my viewpoint on this program, so I finally decided to fire up the keyboard for this little ditty.<br /><br />Data Network Affiliates came on the scene about a month ago, and was all the rage for a couple of weeks. The surrounding hoopla appears to have calmed down a bit, but that's par for the course for all new programs.<br /><br />The fact is that this thing has smelled fishy to me right from the beginning, and it isn't smelling any better with the passing of time.<br /><br />You know, sometimes you just have to use your intuition on these things. You know, your ability to tell right from wrong. <br /><br />In case you don't even know what Data Network Affiliates is all about, here's a little exerpt directly from the website: <br /><br />=====================================<br /><br />Welcome To Data Network Affiliates<br />Our mission is to turn data into dollars.<br /><br />The data collection business: did over $14 Billion in revenue last year; A 12 point record on an individual is worth up to $35.00 and a 7 point record on a business is worth up to $10.00; The Direct Marketing Association says companies spent $191 billion last year on direct- response advertising. The category that includes direct mail and telephone solicitations produced $1.7 trillion in revenue.<br /><br />Automobile and Truck Tags: are just the tip of the iceberg and are only Phase One of the Data Network Affiliates simple plan of action... Phase Two will be even more profitable and just as simple to obtain…<br /><br />The Department of Justice reported: 797,500 children (younger than 18) were reported missing in a one-year period of time studied resulting in an average of 2,185 children being reported missing each day; 203,900 children were victims of family abductions; 58,200 children were victims of non- family abductions. ONLY 492 children since 1997, has the AMBER Alert program been credited for the safe recovery. DNA could help in such safe recoveries. If DNA helped save ONE MORE CHILD it’s worth it? <br /><br />=====================================<br /><br />Sounds really important, doesn't it?<br /><br />Well, it's nothing but hogwash, smoke and mirrors and the Dreaded CRAP, which I hate more than anything! <br /><br />What this is REALLY about is just the collecting of license plate numbers from Walmart parking lots, and making money doing it!<br /><br />First of all, I could not imagine sitting in a parking lot, writing down other peoples' license plate numbers, because it just seems inherently WRONG and invasive of other peoples' privacy...period. That's just not for you and I to do. It's for law enforcement officers.<br /><br />I mean, how would you feel if you walked out of Walmart and caught someone standing behind your car, writing down your plate number? Would you feel violated? Angry? I bet you sure would. And you would most certainly know it was just plain WRONG that someone was invading your privacy like that!<br /><br />And if you were the one doing the date collecting, what would you say to that person? You would have to make up some corny story just to keep them from calling the cops on you or punching you right in the face!<br /><br />But, I digress...<br /><br />Upon using your brain, you will realize what a bunch of BS this really is, because do you really think that Law Enforcement Agencies are going to pay billions of dollars to some rinky dink MLM Data Collection Company????<br /><br />MORE COMING...Cynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358757306635354710noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32716313.post-24385901758085032452009-01-22T15:43:00.001-08:002009-01-22T16:30:37.979-08:00Push Button Extreme HYPE!Well well, yet another "Too Good To Be True" Program Launch!<br /><br />I'm not surprised. Over the coming months, there will be<br />MANY more of them. But this one "Takes the Cake."<br /><br />HELLO? Anybody home?<br /><br />Has anyone done the MATH on this one?<br /><br />I haven't seen this many email promotions since - oh since<br />last week, when it was Webprosperity.<br /><br />Actually, to be fair, I have seen even MORE ads about this<br />Latest Greatest Program.<br /><br />YUK.<br /><br />It does get tiring, doesn't it?<br /><br />But really, this one is just preposterous.<br /><br />Take it from me. The ONLY people who will make any real money<br />with Push Button Extreme are the heavy promoters (no shortage<br />of those), and those who got in at the very second it launched!<br /><br />Sorry to have to break the news, but even IF you joined on<br />Day One, you will make little to nothing.<br /><br />You would have to be at the very top of this program to get<br />any real benefit out of it.<br /><br />And, Guess What?<br /><br />You will NEVER be at the top of any of these types of launches.<br /><br />Please understand, those who got in early...and I mean DAYS before<br />we ever heard of it, took multiple positions, and then they invited<br />all of their personal friends and family.<br /><br />So, even if joined on Day ONE, you will NOT be anywhere close<br />to the top, and you will NOT make anything substantial as a <br />passive member.<br /><br />Now, if you choose to promote the program, you can make some<br />VERY nice commissions, but you will have to do so knowing that<br />the program is aimed at people who want to earn PASSIVE INCOME.<br /><br />I actually joined the dumb thing so that I could review it,<br />but I will NOT be promoting it to anyone...EVER.<br /><br />Just my two cent Gripe.<br /><br />Till next time.<br /><br />P.S. The products look ok, but they are certainly not worth<br />the monthly fee.<br /><br />Again...just MY opinion.<br /><br />Subscribe to My F-R-E-E Gripe Report here:<br />http://lifetimeprosperity.com/mygripereportCynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358757306635354710noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32716313.post-55561027598420745112009-01-22T15:18:00.000-08:002009-01-22T16:15:49.264-08:00OMG...it's Life or DeathYou know, I just have to laugh.<br /><br />I think I have gotten at least 100 emails this month<br />about a new program called WebProsperity.<br /><br />OMG...they make you think it's a life or death <br />situation.<br /><br />You MUST join ASAP, so you can get tons of Spillover!<br /><br />Guess what?<br /><br />There is no such thing as spillover, unless you are<br />on the first level of a very heavy hitter, and even<br />then, you will not get much spillover.<br /><br />Think about it.<br /><br />It's a 2x matrix. So, even if you are in the first <br />level of someone's downline, your upline will have<br />to fill in at least 4 positions for you to even<br />get ONE person in your downline.<br /><br />And, even if they fill the next level of 8 positions,<br />you will still only have 2 people in your downline.<br /><br />BIG FREAKIN' DEAL!<br /><br />And, for what?<br /><br />What kind of m.oney is that going to make you???<br /><br />I hate to break it to you, but you will NEVER get<br />enough commission to even pay your monthly fee, unless<br />you go out and recruit for yourself.<br /><br />My point?<br /><br />NEVER join a program because of the hype being promoted<br />for Spillover. I just doesn't exist.<br /><br />I know.<br /><br />I have done those types of programs many times.<br /><br />I have joined them and then promoted to my contacts<br />that they should join right away so they could get<br />tons of spillover.<br /><br />Guess what?<br /><br />I brought in over 100 people myself, and yet my<br />downline didn't ever make a cent!<br /><br />So, my message to you is this:<br /><br />DO NOT bother to join the latest, greatest program<br />for the spillover, because it will not be enough<br />to even pay for your monthly fee.<br /><br />ONLY join if you are going to actually use the products,<br />and ONLY hope to make any m.oney IF you do the recruiting<br />yourself.<br /><br />MORAL of the Story?<br /><br />Never rush to join any program.<br /><br />There is no need to rush.<br /><br />If the program is any good, you will be able to join it<br />a year from now. If it's that good, it will still be around<br />at that time.<br /><br />And realize that you most likely won't make anything<br />unless YOU are an active recruiter.<br /><br />Read my Blog Post about Spillover here right on this<br />blog. Just click over to the right (2006).<br /><br />In the case of this latest, greatest program...Webprosperity,<br />the products don't even interest me, even though a lot of<br />very active marketers have emailed me about it.<br /><br />I already use Aweber, which is the very best autoresponder<br />on the net. As for the rest of the program tools, I have<br />no need for any of them.<br /><br />To be honest, I just don't even understand WHY I am getting<br />so many email about this program. It just doesn't do anything<br />for me.<br /><br />In fact, most of those who are promoting this program are doing <br />so just for the commission they will make off of you. They <br />will probably never even use the products.<br /><br />Just understand, that you most likely will make NO in.come<br />and you probably will not get any substantial spillover either, <br />unless you are the first level of a very heavy hitter.<br /><br />And, here's another little tidbit.<br /><br />If you are going to join under a so-called heavy hitter,<br />he/she most likely has already invited his/her best<br />friends into the program. Either that, or they have<br />taken out multiple positions.<br /><br />In other words, you will NEVER EVER be on the first level<br />of a heavy hitter, which means that you will most likely<br />NEVER get any spillover whatsoever.<br /><br />There, got that off my chest. PHEW, I feel much better.<br /><br />I guess you can tell that I don't think much of matrix<br />programs.<br /><br />Been there, done that...got the t-shirt.<br /><br />End of Story.<br /><br />Subscribe to My F-R-E-E Gripe Report here:<br />http://lifetimeprosperity.com/mygripereportCynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358757306635354710noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32716313.post-26068925607301656162008-10-01T19:01:00.001-07:002009-01-22T16:16:28.018-08:00What's Wrong with Gifting?Many of you already know that I don't do gifting.<br />But, for those of you who don't know, I will tell<br />you WHY I don't do it.<br /><br />Actually, there are a couple of reasons why I won't<br />and don't do Gifting.<br /><br />#1. I believe it is illegal, immoral and unethical.<br /><br />Phew, that was a lot to say, even though it was just<br />one sentence.<br /><br />You may or may not agree with me. Doesn't matter. <br />You can do Gifting if you like, and if you disagree <br />with my opinion, you can unsubscribe from this email.<br /><br />#2. Well, what can I possibly add to #1? <br /><br />Well, first of all, you will hear from many people that<br />Gifting IS perfectly legal. Well, I am not a big fan of <br />the U.S. Government, but nevertheless, ORGANIZED Gifting<br />is NOT legal to my way of thinking.<br /><br />Yes, there is an IRS rule which states that you<br />can give a GIFT of $12,000 to anyone of your choosing,<br />once per year.<br /><br />Well, excuse me, but I am not so stupid as to not <br />know the purpose of this rule.<br /><br />It is meant for giving a Gift to a family member<br />or maybe a friend. And it means that you are giving<br />that Gift without expectation of anything in return!<br /><br />Now, does that sound even remotely like any of the<br />multitude of Gifting programs you have seen floating<br />around the Internet lately?<br /><br />NO WAY!<br /><br />What you will see is ORGANIZED Gifting, where you<br />will need to pay your Sponsor a certain amount of<br />money - let's just say $500.<br /><br />When you send your Sponsor that $500, you will also<br />need to send along a Signed and Dated piece of paper<br />stating that you are giving a gift WITHOUT any <br />expectations of receiving anything in return.<br /><br />What a CROCK of BULL!<br /><br />Now, if you don't mind signing your name to something<br />like that, good enough, but I know I couldn't do it, <br />as it is a bold-faced LIE.<br /><br />I mean, let's face it, you would only be giving a "Gift"<br />with the expectation of receiving TONS of gifts yourself.<br />In fact, IF you didn't think you were going to be receiving<br />any "Gifts" you wouldn't be giving any of them at all.<br /><br />In fact, I believe that Gifting should really be called<br />Getting, because that is really the WHOLE POINT!<br /><br />Now, I am certainly no expert on Taxes, and personally<br />I think we already pay more than enough of them, but <br />most of the Gifting programs I've seen will also lead <br />you to believe that your Gifts are tax-free income.<br /><br />Well, I don't know about you, but I DO know about<br />Uncle Sam, and I know he isn't going to be too<br />happy when he hears about all of the millions<br />being generated on the net - all tax-free.<br /><br />And, as if that wasn't enough to turn you off to<br />Gifting, let me ask you this...<br /><br />Would you be PROUD to tell you friends and family<br />that you were doing "Gifting?"<br /><br />I know that I wouldn't even want to try to explain<br />that to my friends, my parents, my children and <br />my grandchildren.<br /><br />I just simply would NOT be proud of it, and that is<br />MORE important to me than any amount of money.<br /><br />In my opinion, the U.S. Government will be coming<br />down on Organized Gifting in the near future, and<br />I sure don't want any part of that.<br /><br />Not only that, but I personally don't feel good about <br />taking money from anyone unless they are getting <br />something of value from me.<br /><br />When you do Gifting, you have to take people's <br />hard-earnedmoney and they NOTHING from you <br />in return. <br /><br />That SUCKS for them, and you will feel BAD about it!<br /><br />Heck, if folks are going to pay you good money, <br />they should get something for it, don't you think?!<br /><br />That's why I believe that Gifting is both Immoral <br />and Unethical...Bottom Line.<br /><br />Now, if you want to know what programs I DO recommend, <br />and which I suggest you stay away from, just visit <br />my website:<br />http://lifetimeprosperity.com/moneymakers.html<br /><br />I wish only the best for you, and I will NEVER<br />refer you to any of these types of programs.

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

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

In fact, if<br />you click on the main domain, it forwards to another<br />website altogether...a site called stealthmoneymaker.<br /><br />UPDATE: Well, it DID forward to that site last time<br />I checked, but just now when I typed in the I4B<br />url, I just got a blank page.<br /><br />Next, there is the question of "who owns this new site?"<br /><br />Another good question, and it seems that it is<br />owned by a man who calls himself Alan Humphreys.<br />Well, that's all well and good, but what happened<br />to Jon Davies, owner of I4B?<br /><br />Another good questions indeed.<br /><br />I have been trying to figure that out for the past<br />couple of weeks, and I guess nobody really knows<br />for sure, but I do have my speculations.<br /><br />I firmly believe that Jon Davies and Alan Humphreys<br />are one and the same person, so it's anybody's guess<br />what his REAL name is.<br /><br />The reason I believe this is because I wrote to "Alan"<br />and asked him what happened to I4B. He wrote back and <br />said he had no idea. He told me he simply purchased the<br />domain and then redirected the traffic to his site.<br /><br />Well, I know that many people do buy up expired<br />domain names just for the traffic, but that is NOT<br />what happened here. One reason I know that is because<br />it all happened too quickly. One day I4B was online<br />and the next day it had miraculously turned into stealth!<br /><br />Another reason I am sure of this is because of the<br />similarity between the two programs. Why, it's simply<br />uncanny really. They are almost exactly the same,<br />right down to what's in the member's area too.<br /><br />Whoever owned I4B also owns Stealth, and while<br />I cannot prove it, I am 99.9% sure this is the case.<br />I have searched the web, hoping that someone else<br />might have more info, but I can't find much at all.<br />Therefore, I decided to just let you know what I<br />believe, and leave it at that.<br /><br />So, what we are left with is someone who called <br />himself Jon Davies, and now calls himself Alan <br />Humphreys, and who is not the nice person he<br />painted himself to be.<br /><br />After all, he never gave any of his members any<br />notice that he was closing down I4B. In fact,<br />all I4B referral links did point directly to<br />the Stealth home page, meaning that Mr. Alan<br />probably made quite a few commissions on those<br />who were advertising I4B.<br /><br />Now, I have gotten a few emails from people asking<br />if they should join this new program (stealth). My<br />answer, of course, is NO WAY! In my opinion, this<br />Mr. Davies/Humphrey person is a crook, and I will<br />forever be on the lookout for any program that<br />resembles his work.<br /><br />Another nasty thing he did was that he not only<br />took away our business, but he also took down the<br />Member's area that contained all of the products<br />which we were promised for our $40. Not nice at all.<br /><br />Well, bully on Mr. Davies-Humphrey, because I have<br />all of the downloads saved to my computer. Therefore,<br />anyone who has paid for this program, and would<br />like the package of products only needs to send<br />me an email request, and I will get them to you.<br /><br />Other than that, there's nothing any of us can do<br />about events like this except move on to bigger<br />and better things, and try to be more careful<br />next time.<br /><br />The Internet, by its very nature, is extremely<br />volatile, and anything can happen at any time.<br />You must always be prepared for change, and you<br />must realize that everything has an element of<br />risk to it.<br /><br />But, here's another important TRUTH...<br /><br />No Risk...No Gain.<br /><br />When you find something online that appeals to you, <br />you should do your research and then decide if you<br />are willing to take the risk.<br /><br />If you are, then go for it, and don't look back.<br />Take certain precautions to protect your investment, <br />such as downloading any products which you have <br />purchased. This way, if the program goes down, <br />you have your money's worth.<br /><br />Anyway, I4B was a nice little program, but it's<br />Gone With the Wind now, and that's that.<br /><br />"Thanks a lot Jon Davies, wherever you are."<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Cynthia HowardCynthiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358757306635354710noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32716313.post-62373846836808529452007-10-23T12:48:00.001-07:002009-01-22T16:17:34.844-08:00Gibline or Giblink - Whatever - I Won't Be Joining<br /><br />Problem #1: <br /><br />What the heck IS the name of this company anyway? <br /><br />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!" <br /><br />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!<br /><br />Problem #2: <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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! <br /><br />Problem #3: <br /><br />"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!" <br /><br />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...<br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />Problem #5: Does anybody even care what the product is? Well, we all know the answer to that, so let's move on.<br /><br />What bothers me the most about Gibline/Giblink is the compensation plan. And here's why: <br /><br />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.<br /><br />Here's a short lesson on the life of a straight-line matrix:<br /><br />First some heavy hitters get in with multiple positions. Then they start recruiting others with the promise of passive income.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />It is inevitable, and those at the top, or those who have been around awhile know this to be true. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />And I do try NOT to think about it whenever I get the chance, but lately it's darn near impossible.<br /><br />Every day I receive an invitation from someone telling me that I MUST join Gibline / Giblink because it's similar to "XYZ" program. <br /><br />Well I've been suffering in silence long enough. <br /><br />It's time to come out and say "that's precisely Why I Won't be Joining." <br /><br />There, I said it and I feel much better now. At least until I check my inbox and come across the next invitation.

It's been awhile I know.</div> <div>I have had lots of computer troubles over the last</div> <div>few months, but I'm back to work now.</div><br /><div>And, I am more determined than ever to make sure</div> <div>that you don't WASTE your money online.</div><br /><div>HINT: NEVER purchase a PC over the Internet, unless</div> <div>it is through a store in your area. If you ever have</div> <div>a problem with it, you want to be able to take it</div> <div>to a local service repair center.</div><br /><div>HORROR STORY: I bought an Acer Ferrari two years ago </div> <div>through an online store. I had some minor problems</div> <div>during the first year, but I ignored them, since I</div> <div>was still able to use it to get my work done.</div><br /><div>Well, finally the problems escalated to the point </div> <div>where I could no longer work around them.</div><br /><div>HINT: IF you do have a problem with your PC, or</div> <div>any other machine under warranty, during the warranty</div> <div>period, TAKE CARE OF IT PRONTO. DO NOT wait until</div> <div>the warranty period expires. IF you are having problems </div> <div>with it now, they are NOT going to magically go away!</div><br /><div>Now, when I finally did get around to sending in my PC,</div> <div>it cost me hours of work, backing it up first, which</div> <div>is another thing you DO NOT want to put off. Then,</div> <div>I had to send it all the way to Texas (from NY),</div> <div>and I had to pay for the privilege of doing so.</div><br /><div>Well, to make a long story short, they had my PC</div> <div>for one full month, during which time, I did finally</div> <div>get some house cleaning done...but that's another</div> <div>story altogether. </div><br /><div>The point is - I had NO laptop to work on for one month!</div><br /><div>Oh Misery....as if that weren't enough. It cost me</div> <div>$450 just to have them repair my PC. Well, my bad,</div> <div>because I was in CompUSA yesterday, and I saw brand</div> <div>new, beautiful laptops in there for just twice that.</div><br /><div>But, anyway, I finally did get it back, and then I </div> <div>spent a week just getting all my software and files</div> <div>back onto it, and FINALLY I am getting back to work.</div><br /><div>=================================================</div><br /><div>OK, enough of that. Let's get down to business.</div><br /><div>Have you seen those programs out there which</div> <div>promote using the Powerline System?</div><br /><div>There are a few of them:</div><br /><div>MyWorldPlus</div> <div>ProBuilderPlus</div> <div>ProWealthSuccees</div> <div>WealthTekk</div> <div>VemmaBuilder</div><br /><div>Those are just a few, but there are many more</div> <div>I'm sure.</div><br /><div>Here's the thing about those programs. They all</div> <div>use a very deceptive marketing system called</div> <div>the Powerline System. I first saw this system </div> <div>in operation many years ago. </div><br /><div>In fact, many of us marketing pro's are used to</div> <div>seeing it, and we know it for what it is, but there</div> <div>are lots of others, including newbies, who are still</div> <div>being duped by this system.</div><br /><div>Here's how it works.</div><br /><div>You come across a website. The words on the website</div> <div>are compelling and they ask you to fill out a form</div> <div>so you can take a free tour to find out more.</div><br /><div>Ok...you do that. You go on to take the tour. You</div> <div>think it looks interesting, and you decide you'll</div> <div>look again later, maybe later during the week.</div><br /><div>Well, during the week, your email starts filling up</div> <div>with urgent notices stating that you have money</div> <div>coming to you if ONLY you will upgrade before a</div> <div>certain date.</div><br /><div>The emails might look similar to this:</div><br /><div>Cynthia, You have money coming - Chris just Upgraded</div><br /><div>BEWARE: when you get one of these emails. IGNORE IT!</div><br /><div>You see, it's just a BIG FAT LIE.</div><br /><div>There is NO Money Coming to you. The fact that Chris</div> <div>just upgraded means absolutely nothing as far as</div> <div>YOUR pocketbook is concerned.

This is a total waste of money. I have tested this mailer, and so far have gotten absolutely nothing out of it.<br /><br />Just as I thought, but I had to test it just to make sure. So, I paid the money and I used the mailer several times. Guess what? BIG SURPRISE....not one hit. Not even ONE!<br /><br />I'll be doing some more testing of Blasters, just so I can expose the ones that are total losers.

<br />
The truth is, in most programs, you will not receive any. But, even if you do get some, it will NEVER be enough to make any real income.<br />
<br />
I have been marketing on the Internet for 7 years now, and I have been in many, many programs that roped me in with the promise of spillover.<br />
<br />
Now, let me make one thing clear. I don't have any problem getting signups for my programs. In fact, most of the time, I am the one giving spillover to my downline members, so I do not depend on spillover to make money in any program.<br />
<br />
But, the more I learn about these program, the more I know that I CANNOT promote the promise of spillover to others.<br />
<br />
Yes, I have done so in the past...most recently with PixMeUp. I sincerely thought I was doing my referrals a favor my asking them to join under me. I knew that I could bring in a ton of people, which I did. But, in the end, most of my downline didn't make anything at all, even though I did bring in many members.<br />
<br />
SIDENOTE: PixMeUp is no longer online - and the owners didn't even have the decency to inform its members of its demise.<br />
<br />
The truth is, unless you fall on your sponsor's first level, you are going to receive very little spillover, even if your sponsor recruits a ton of people.<br />
<br />
That's why I am having a very hard time with all of the emails being sent out about ProWealthSolutions. In fact, it just pisses me off to read the crap that reads:<br />
<br />
"Make $1,092 a month Passive Income" or "Make Over $1,000 Monthly Doing NOTHING!"<br />
<br />
It's just bull, and it will NOT happen in any Matrix.<br />
<br />
Now, in the case of ProWealthSolutions, the company is using a Powerline Script which makes you believe you can earn money by all those in the Powerline who fall beneath you.<br />
<br />
Just think about it for a minute. How can you possibly be paid on every person who falls under you in the powerline? Let's see, if everyone gets paid on everyone who falls below them in the powerline, where is all that money going to come from?<br />
<br />
The truth is, you do get paid on the first 3 members who upgrade in your powerline, but that only amounts to $8. The only way you will make any additional money passively is if your matrix gets filled via the efforts of your upline or downline.<br />
<br />
Now, please read carefully this email I received from another marketer whose opinion I value:<br />
<br />
====================================<br />
<br />
A few days ago I signed up for the free tour.<br />
<br />
I am number 18916 in the matrix. As of the cutoff date of 8/10/06 about 17.5% of the people below mehad upgraded.<br />
<br />
Based on that percentage of people upgrading ABOVE me, and the company description of the matrix filling top to bottom, left to right, the position I would have in the matrix if I upgraded would need 6563 upgraded people below me to make $3!<br />
<br />
I had 4000 or so below me, so I would have been 2/3 of the way to making $3. Then, I would ONLY need 13,179 more people to earn $9.After that, I would need just 45,935 more upgraded members to BREAK EVEN at$35!<br />
<br />
That's only 61,677 additional upgraded members needed below ME! I can't even count high enough to figure out how many need to come in below those 62,000for THEM to break even, so they continue to pay the monthly fee?<br />
<br />
=====================================<br />
<br />
Now, is that a REALITY CHECK or what?<br />
<br />

I DO know better.<br /><br />So then, why on earth did I ever join ProWealthSolutions???<br /><br />Ok, first it was just plain curiosity that got me. When I got a ton of "URGENT" emails, all in one day, from many different heavy hitters, I knew this would be a HUGE program in terms of the number of lemmings (er, I mean people) joining. So, I signed up to take a FREE tour just to see what all the fuss was about.<br /><br />Well, as soon as I saw the Powerline Structure and the usual hype which accompanies these types of programs, I went back to my usual business of making money online...NEVER to return to that website, or so I thought.<br /><br />Then came the first of those ever-so-exciting emails from the company, with the following subject line: "Cynthia, You have money coming - Chris just Upgraded".<br /><br />Oh JOY, money coming! Well, I KNEW BETTER, so I just filed that email away and went about my business.<br /><br />Then came another email, and I must have been bored at that particular moment, because I actually opened the email, and I was amazed to read:<br /><br />"Congratulations Cynthia<br /><br />As more and more people continue to recognize ProWealthSOLUTIONS as the most POWERFUL opportunity on the internet, Charles Doe (name changed for privacy), who was placed below you in your ProWealthSOLUTIONS Powerline, has just upgraded to FULL MEMBER.<br /><br />That means, you are now qualified to earn a GUARANTEED CHECK just by locking in your position."<br /><br />The email went on, telling me that I had hundreds of lemmings (er, I mean people) joining MY Powerline at a phenomenal rate, and that:<br /><br />"Not only do you already have a guaranteed check coming in so long as you upgrade your position to full member before THURSDAY, but with ourhuge compensation program, you can also earn up to $1,092 per month without ever referring a single person.<br /><br />Well, it sure sounded good, but still, I KNOW BETTER, so I pretty much disregarded this email and filed it away along with all the others I was receiving on a daily basis.<br /><br />Then, I noticed that more and more BIG Marketers were joining and promoting this thing. Now, surely they can't be THAT naive, right?Surely they know better than to promote this sort of HYPE to their huge lists of trusting lemmings (er, um, I mean people). WHY are they stooping so low?<br /><br />Hmmm (the sound of self-doubt creeping in)...maybe they know something I don't. Maybe I'm missing something here. Yeah, that must be it. I guess I better take a better look at this PWS thing. Yeah, next time I'm bored.<br /><br />Well, I did end up having another moment of temporary boredom, and so I took a GOOD LONG LOOK at the "Fastest Growing, HOTTEST Program on the Entire EARTH! And you know what? I came away with the same feeling as before.<br /><br />My exact feelings were that this is just the same, worn out hype that I am sick to death of, and that I could NEVER promote this even if I did decide to upgrade in it myself.<br /><br />BUT...hmmmmmm (the sound of unrealistic thinking creeping in), since I could potentially make $1,092 per month WITHOUT having to promote it, I could upgrade and then just see what happens, right?<br /><br />And hey, if the products are good enough, it won't be a total waste of money even if I don't get all of those lemmings (er, you know, people) into my matrix when the deadline to upgrade is finally here.<br /><br />NO NO NO! I KNOW BETTER. I KNOW the matrix won't fill under me, and I won't get any spillover, and that the ONLY way to really make any money in a matrix is to recruit, and I could never promote this thing, and anyway, I HATE POWERLINES!<br /><br />And so I went back to business as usual. Good for ME!<br /><br />UNTIL the Final Countdown Day. That's the day when you have to Lock In your Position to get placed in the matrix before all those poor saps who don't know enough to Upgrade.<br /><br />Well, I was still holding out UNTIL I received an email from my sponsor, a heavy-hitter who knew how to put just the right "spin" on his email to rope me in. I just have to say that as soon as I upgraded, I knew I had made a mistake. It just didn't feel right, and as I said before...I knew I would NEVER be able to promote this thing to anyone because it just didn't sit well with me. But, it was too late...the damage was done.<br /><br />Now I had wasted $70 on the most ridiculous program going. But WAIT! Maybe the products are good! And just maybe I'll get some spillover in MY matrix!<br /><br />HaHaHa! That's a good one!<br /><br />When I logged into my account I found that there were NO products whatsoever, and I had a whopping 3 lemmings (um, people) below me in the matrix. So much for making $1,092 without referring a single person!<br /><br />Folks, let this be a lesson. I know I will NEVER be taken in by a Powerline program again, and I hope you won't either.<br /><br />The TRUTH is that the Powerline is just a marketing ploy made to make you THINK that you've got oodles of people in YOUR downline, when in all actuality you are lucky if ANY of them end up under you. And IF you make any money at all, it will likely be only a few dollars unless you were on the frontline to your sponsor, who must be a heavy hitter.<br /><br />I've learned my lesson, and I'm done with anything resembling a Powerline.<br /><br />Please post your comments about this post by clicking the link below.
