  • OceanSideWealth: More info for you.  READ THIS if you are going to join this Saturday at 10 AM EST or later.


    http://www.asamonitor.com/forum/index.php?act=idx

    Go to the section "ASA OFFSHORE OPPS"

    Click on "Oceanside Wealth"

    Ken: When the program does launch I believe it will be a very unique due to the community matrix which I expect will fill to the 11th level within hours, assuming their server and programing can accommodate such a huge volume.

    http://www.asamonitor.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10473

    js: You must join the matrix in order to participate in the passive investment.  That's $60 a month. Those of you who join the matrix a day or two into the programme will unlikely be able to cover the $60 a month with commissions earned from your matrix (because once the company 2x10 fills you will get your own 2x10 with no overspill from the Company, but with overspill from leadership above you if that leadership has you in their 2x10). So that means that if you will have to invest something like $600 or more in order to pay the monthly $60 fee as I (js) fully expect them to give you 10% per month on average, not the 20% to 30% that is being claimed.

    Below is some further info from my upline:

    Oceanside Wealth builder summary

    What we know so far about the company and their proposed business:(Accuracy checked by J.D. Admin., thank you Sir.)

    1. They use an institutional grade Forex trading program (js: this means a robot software programme). Along with the many years of experience of their trader to bring you returns on your investment.

    2. They will be posting monthly performance graphs along with doing live webinars so we can see the results.

    3. They will also have a built in front-end matrix with a $60 per month membership fee.

    4. You will then be able to add any amount in $100 increments on top of that to go into the program (js: ForEx trading)... There will be no maximum amount.

    5. The corporate headquarters will be posted on the web site.  No phone number.

    6. There is never a promised set return per month, the hoped for average is 20%.   The worst month was 3% and that was in April 2008.

    7. They are a new Company. There are performance graphs from the software  program that they are using for OW. This program has been around for 2 years (js: apparently $6 Million to license, see info below.)

    What we know about the Trading program:

    1. The software program that they use is 100% automated- meaning that they can set it and allow it to run on its own.  It looks at 80-90 different signals before it makes a single trade and reacts to real life current events.

    2. They have been using it and watching it live now for around 15 months and the WORST month was 3% in April of this year. The average has been right around 20% per month and the best month around 45%.

    3. They have stop losses in place. These are set at 10% meaning that they will never be trading with more than 10% of the account. This makes it Impossible to lose more than 10% of the account at a time.

    What we know about the people:

    1. Jake from ASA has been in contact with this company for around 6 months.  He has endorsed it as a good investment, which for many is enough to make it a buy.

    2. The Company Admin in charge is  J.D. The forum moderators and question answer people are leverageFx and xx

    3. There is a Forex experienced Trader that we don’t know the name of yet.

    What we know about the launch:

    1. Saturday July 26, 2008 will be the day the company will open to signups for matrix spots. 10 AM EST.

    2. There is substantial buzz surrounding the launch and matrix. Experienced investors are also focused on the forex trading returns.

    What we know about the Matrix:

    1. It is going to be a community force filled matrix for the first ELEVEN (11) levels (OS is the top level, hence 11 total for the 2x10). After the 11th level is complete, it will turn into a regular forced matrix (js: meaning you have to fill it, with the help, if any, of leadership above you, within 10 levels).

    2. Everyone must join the matrix before they can invest.

    3. You can personally sign up a spouse, family member and anyone else from your computer.

    4. No multiple spots in the matrix.

    5. Your matrix fees can be paid with your interest earnings

    6. The Company will be giving away Cadillac Escalade Hybrids and house bonuses. The matrix is designed so that it pays out 65% back to the members and the other 35% is used to pay for the Escalades!


    What we know about the payment processors:

    1. Payment processors will include: Solid Trust Pay, U got Cash, Strict Pay, and Alertpay. alert pay will be used for the 1st month only

    2. Everyone has to have their own payment processor account in order to sign up at launch.

    3. There will be an option for you to send funds from OW member to OW member in your back office.

    4. Multiple accounts are not allowed, however signups from the same IP address is ok.

    5. The interest will be available for withdrawal on a monthly basis.

    6. We can join with one payment processor but have our earnings deposited to another.

    js: Now, I posted some comments in the ASA forum about the sixty monthly fee and then go sidetracked into talking about ForEx. One person responded with a very intelligent explanation and I post it here (hope he does not mind):

    "I have not been in a position to view the trading system and I have no way to substantiate any of the claims made about it. However, JD did mention that the license for this technology alone would cost $6 million and I'm willing to accept that as the truth (js: why on earth would you?). If that's the case then it is obviously a very valuable technology as value in this industry is determined by results.

    As to why they're willing to offer it to us for $100/mth (js: ummm.... $60 a month) instead of selling to large institutions, you really have to have an understanding of how compensation within this industry works to see the huge value that exists for the company.

    First of all, you have to look at the capital invested by the whole group and not the individual amounts that make up the whole. If 10,000 people join OSW, you're looking at approximately $600,000 monthly that will be flowing into the trading account ( remember that all matrix commissions will not be paid out to members but will instead be invested on their behalf, with the principle held for 12 months ).

    Now let's assume that the average member deposit into the trading account is an additional $1,000 (js: well, the minimum will have to be about $600 per member). This brings the account to $10,000,000 with additional deposits of $600,000 monthly ( which will grow every time a new member joins ).

    I don't know which Forex Broker will hold the account for OSW but I can pretty much guarantee that the company has established a relationship where they're paid out of the trading profits as well as on the spread. On a $10 million account with ultra conservative leverage, it's likely that they'd be trading a minimum of 100 standard lots per entry. At even a 1 pip rebate the company would be receiving $100 in referral commission for every trade placed. If they place 20 trades per day which is not uncommon for a "scalper", then that's $2000 in corporate income regardless of whether the trade is profitable or not.

    In additional if they have a profit sharing a arrangement they will get a percentage of the monthly growth on the account. Even if their cut is 5% of the profit it will produce significant income given the account size.

    There are plenty of reasons why the company would offer this service to us instead of selling it to an institution. As the membership grows and invested capital increases, so to will their revenue.

    xxxxxxx (name deleted)

    ps. I completely agree with you that people should not be expecting more than 10% monthly. If they can achieve more then so be it but just consider that gravy."


    I have posted the above because I want you to know what you're getting into from the start.  If you ignore the above, and come back and complain two months later, I will just have to ignore you.  Got it? Good.

    Now go out and play.

  • The below post from Ken Russo resulted from my pointing out that the $60 fee per month is just too much for the regular folk, or most folks, as I see it.  Many posts at the ASA forum prompted others to agree with me (before trying to put me down of course) and I thank those that supported me, including Ken, to bring this into the open. Hopefully the Owner(s) of OceanSideWealth will act on it.

    js

    Here is Ken's newest post:

    Greetings Everyone,

    In the interest of making the very best program that it can be, I am
    going to make some comments followed by some suggestions.

    First, I believe this will be a fine program if I am able to earn just
    5% per month, especially when we consider current economic
    conditions. If the average return is 10% per month, so much the
    better. If, in fact, the trader(s) can achieve the stated goal of 20%
    we will have an exceptional passive income producer. Any given
    month which produces in excess of 20% would be gravy. I make
    these statements because I can afford to place enough funds into
    the program so that even a 5% return will justify my $60 monthly
    fee. For example, with just $2000 invested I will earn as follows...


    5%----------------------------------------------------$100
    10%---------------------------------------------------$200
    15%---------------------------------------------------$300
    20%---------------------------------------------------$400

    Now, some very important questions, assuming that the entry level
    remains at $60 and remaining aware of the fact that the program is
    not yet time-tested and proven.

    How many folks will be able to invest enough funds to cover their
    monthly fee and turn a profit?

    How many folks will be joining just to see if they can get "lucky" with
    regard to their placement in the community matrix and/or their subsequent
    team matrix so that all or at least a portion of their monthly fee is covered
    via matrix earnings?

    How many folks who are not lucky will drop out of the program or not join
    at all because they cannot justify the monthly expense?

    My last question is directed at J D and his partners and I believe it is the
    MOST important question...

    Do you want your program to appeal to the masses or only to those who
    can afford to make larger investments? I am hopeful that you wish to appeal
    to the masses. If so, I offer the following suggestions....

    First and foremost, you must establish a multi-tiered entry level with the lowest
    level at $20, the mid level at $40 and the highest level at $60.

    Those who enter at the $20 level could invest a maximum of $1000. This level
    would cater to those who are able or willing to invest only a few hundred. At this
    point let's be clear on something. The meat of this endeavor lies in its viability as
    a passive investment vehicle. Those who don't have at least $200 or $300 to invest
    should probably not be joining, especially if they are not active marketers. As we
    know, the vast majority of folks in ANY program are NOT active marketers and
    this program is no exception.

    As the program evolves, members at the lowest entry could upgrade to the mid
    level or the higher level at any time. An upgrade to the $40 level would allow
    the member to increase their investment to an maximum of $3000. Finally, an
    upgrade to the $60 level would allow the member to invest any amount they wish.

    I do not wish to throw a wrench into the gears at this point. However, to be very
    frank, I believe that offering onlya $60 level is a MAJOR flaw in an otherwise very
    promising program. Several folks are in agreement with my suggestions. I am
    hopeful that many others will take a moment to share their opinions.

    js: By the way, Jake of ASA fame has been speaking with Ken, my Sponsor, and he is in total agreement with Ken’s (above) plan. Now it remains with OceanWhatever to approve it and implement it before they launch.  I sure hope they do!

    Go here.  The only thing I’d like to correct the Author on? We are clearly in the 3rd density, not the fourth. The fourth is that Astral plane, the fifth is the Mental plane, and the sixth is the Buddhic or Causal plane. The 7th is the Transcendental or Ultimate Divine Domain.  Hope he gets this straight some time or other.
     
  • My favorite video of ALL TIME: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CPg9GWBoL0
     

July 22nd (Tuesday)

  • OceanSideWealth will be launched on this Saturday at 10 AM EST. I will send out an ALERT with the correct link.  Stay tuned.  In the meantime read the info (below) and fund your Strict Pay and/or SolidTrust Pay (and AlertPay) accounts with at least $60 if you’re going to participate in the matrix side of things. 

    The first 11 levels will be built by the whole Community (and no, you will not fill your own 2x10, not likely... so get in fast so that you’re in the Community portion).

    Don’t worry if you don’t get into the Matrix as the main return will be from ForEx trading.  The average return will be 30% per month and compounding will be available (that’s a pretty high return.... so even if they give us 10% return per month we will be happy campers)..

    They are offshore in Panama.
     
  • ASDCashGenerator (ASDcashBlackHole is more appropriate): I just don’t understand it. This one is supposed to have over 100,000 members and is a well respected manual surf site.  Yet they are still holding $336 of my AlertPay hostage since July 10th! No Adpacks!  I’ve written twice to support now and even to Andy Bowdoin.

    Are we little folk so little that they can’t take the time to honor our AdPack purchases, at least from AlertPay?

    I went from being pissed of to angry, to resentful, to a dull feeling of .... nothing (as I can’t waste anymore energy and attention to this). 

    No response from Support, from Andy, from anyone there.  So I’ve finally demanded they return all of my money, STP, AlertPay, balance, and cancel my account.  Am just fed up to here (up to my ears) with this outfit.  It ought to be labeled as a SCAM, even if it is due to negligence and poor service (and slow as molasses servers).
     
  • I have to keep reminding myself of this every day, maybe more than every day: "Do you prefer that you be right, or happy?" The answer is obvious.

     
  • Diary: Over the last few years I have been in conflict over which Spiritual Path I should be following.

    - the one outlined in "Thinking and Destiny" by Harold W. Percival or
    - the one outlined by the Huna Teachings (see Max Freedom Long) or
    - some form of Bhakti Yoga or
    - A Course in Miracles (some call it the Christian Advaita Vedanta) or
    - some form of Zen Buddhism
    - Advaita Vedanta
    - I've considered many others (Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, New Age, and more). These are not for me.

    Every time I consider this question I keep coming back to ACIM or A Course In Miracles.  So this time I think am going to stick to it and practice the lessons in the Work Book and s on.

    And why is this?

    Well, from studying the various Teachings out there the ones that appeal to me the most (and make the most sense) all say basically the following

    - What is Changeless cannot contain or encompass something that is changing (evolving or devolving, change in any case).
    - What is Limitless cannot contain the limited.
    - What is Infinite cannot contain what is finite.
    - What is Infinite, Changeless, Eternal, Infinite, All Encompassing is Real.  What is unreal cannot exist.


    So to me, any Teaching that teaches that this realm, which is limited, full of change and suffering, is finite, not eternal, cannot be the Truth. It is akin to a dream, a mirage in the desert. But this applies to my own understanding; am not saying anything about yours.
     
  • e-gold: I got a neat surprise today when trying to sign in. All of a sudden, after a PIN Challenge am getting a screen basically saying that I appear to be on an OPEN PROXY, and they don’t like that. Tried twice, can’t sign in, so I can’t fix that.

    So, I powercycled the modem and got a new IP.  That did not work either as it is in the same network.  So I tried the only other thing I could (as I don’t know if the problem is on the e-gold end or my ISP), which was to switch to my Rogers connection. That worked just fine!

    Now, what changed? Well, I have my first ISP working on that. But also e-gold, today, implement some more security measures.  And it could well be that because I have HIGH SECURITY on the IP address, the IP address I got from my first ISP may indeed look like it is on an OPEN PROXY. In the meantime I will use me Rogers connection if I wish to access e-gold. Thought I’d like to know if all of a sudden you develop the same problem.  Of course you may not have a backup connection, so you will have to call e-gold to resolve that.

  • There is no one here.

July 20th (Sunday)

  • Ok, here is another lesson I have learned just today.

    After a few days of almost ten bucks a day on that Adwords Campaign I have re Hydrogen, HHO, and running further on your gallon of gas using Brown's Gas?

    I realized that the top keywords that I was using were simply attracting the wrong crowd?  What do I mean?

    Well, consider this. My main keyword that was drawing the most clicks per day was HHO and then Hydrogen kits.

    Now think about it.  What the heck do YOU know about HHO?  All you may have heard is that there is a way to save money on the high prices of gas using water!

    So who the heck was keying on HHO and Brown's Gas (same thing).  Why... the folks who already knew about it and were doing some further research!  So by the time they got to MY review, it was old news for them! So they bought.... NOTHING!

    Ok, so you see?  This is a very interesting game that requires you to use your brains, and think about it. So now I have PAUSED those high paying and poor producing keywords and phrases. Now am focussing on those who are ignorant about all this but have heard something about it in the news, usually.  Am more likely to sell with these folks than the folks who already know about it and who are looking for more research and info, all to my detriment in cost per click!

    For those of you who are still ignorant about what is going on here with this saving money on gas thing? It's for real. Read my reviews: http://www.reviewcb.com/autos/gaswaterhybrid.html

  • I got this from my friend Bob: (hey Bob! Do you not have a blog yet you lazy ass Orion Lizard in disguise as a  Canadian frying pan faucet?  Get one now and I will list you on the left, vs. the right. Kapish?  Then you can talk to your heart’s desire! Maybe even help some folks out there.)

    “Cell phone companies are charging $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 Information calls. Since no one carries a telephone directory in their Vehicle, they get away with it. When you need to use the 411 Information option, simply dial 1(800) FREE 411, or 1 (800) 373-3411; you will incur no charge. This works on your home telephone as well.”

    Don’t know if it is good in the US of A. But try it out.

July 18th (Friday)

  • Ok, here is an important announcement from a person that I do trust. Ken Russo. Read on.

    Greetings Everyone,

    Make no mistake. MrsVIP remains at the very top of my list of recommended
    programs and I expect that it will for years to come.

    In the interest of diversification I will be joining Oceanside Wealth.
    There is an extensive discussion at the ASA forum....

    http://www.asamonitor.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=10315

    We are now seeing programs programs which empower each and every member
    to earn without having to complete a cycle, fill a matrix or build a downline.
    The first program to successfully combine the network marketing model with
    a passive income producing model is QLx3. The second (and best) program
    to do so is MrsVIP. Now we have Oceanside Wealth (OW) presenting a new
    program which will appeal to the masses. Thankfully, we are witnessing a major
    transformation in this industry which tends to render referral-based programs
    obsolete and this is extremely good news for the vast majority of industry
    participants who have never been able to develop the additional income
    stream(s) they desperately seek.

    I am in agreement with the following review from a fellow member...

    begin review
    ==================
    Oceanside Wealth Review

    Program announcement has exploded over at ASA forums and other various forums:

    http://www.asamonitor.com/forum/index.php?...0315&st=450

    Oceanside Wealth Builders will be available to the public this MONDAY, July 20, 2008 (Saturday, July 26th)
    for signups. I will be sharing and quoting some of what I heard from various contacts, forums,
    etc. I've heard a lot of good things about this company, mostly from my good friend Jake over
    at ASA. He feels this program may be the next "V-Lane". This is a new investment opportunity
    with a 15-20% average earned monthly (some months doing 30-40%). This earning percentage
    does not expire. The matrix side of the company can prove to be great source of income. This
    program has a somewhat similar structure to our favorite opportunity out there, MrsVip & V-Lane
    Traffic, in the sense that you have to join the matrix to take advantage of the product. In this case,
    the product is investments. People on the forums are excited to get in early because of the 2x10
    "community" forced matrix, where people will be placed automatically LEFT TO RIGHT, all the
    way down to the first 10 levels. With the amount of excitement this program has been given, you
    can pretty much count on the 2x10 matrix to fill up quickly with no open spots. Getting in early is
    wise. I believe that if you get in early, and I mean early, you can bank on making a nice income
    from the matrix, even if you don't sponsor. Many will be watching closely for launch. Subscription
    is $60 a month. Weighing risk vs reward, I feel that this opportunity is worth the risk, and the reward
    can be much higher.

    Matrix Chart:
    Level 2 $10
    Level 3 $50
    Level 4 $400
    Level 5 $80
    Level 6 $640
    Level 7 $320
    Level 8 $1920
    Level 9 $2,560
    Level 10 $33,280

    Now I can't guarantee these will be the earnings or anything. The site hasn't even launched. I just
    did some due diligence and gathered information from the forums, contacts, and company. Do realize
    that even though everyone is going crazy over the matrix, it's the product that matters the most at the
    end of the day. Most people aren't matrix builders. After the initial craze of signups, the 15-20% average
    monthly return is what should keep the program alive. I won't lie by saying I'm not excited to see what the
    matrix can bring though.


    Anyways, I'm in this program because of Jake's recommendation. I've known of Jake for years but only
    became friends with him since January 2008 or so. I truly believe he changed his path, since he no longer
    promotes ponzis. I don't think he'll steer us wrong, and will provide good opportunities.
    Message from the company:

    "Hello everyone, We are very excited to bring you this phenomenal opportunity with Oceanside Wealth!
    I just got off the phone with my web programmer and we should be ready to start putting in positions in
    the matrix as early as Friday. To give everyone a little foresight of what to expect... REAL RETURNS
    based on our ACTUAL RETURNS. We use an institutional grade $60 million Forex trading program
    along with the many years of experience of our trader to bring you phenomenal returns. We will be
    posting monthly performance graphs along with doing live webinars so you can see our amazing results!
    We will also have a built in front-end matrix with a $60 per month membership fee. You will then be able
    to add any amount in $100 increments on top of that to go into our program. When we say any amount,
    we mean ANY AMOUNT. There will be no maximum with us as we do not have to "look" for places to
    put the money. It all gets combined with our personal portfolio to leverage it. The matrix will be a 2 by 10
    forced matrix with the first 10 levels "community forced". This means that the first 1046 people will be
    placed automatically left to right all the way down the first 10 levels. This will ensure that there are no
    open spots and no one will get left behind. Jake said that he thinks we will fill the 2 x 10 matrix in about
    a month, so as soon as we are live, you will want to put your position in ASAP. We will definitely be
    here for the long haul and are looking forward to helping as many people's dreams come true as possible."
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    end review

    Just last night (Thursday, July 17) I saw an hour long demonstration of the trading platform and I was
    very impressed.

    This program will not be launching until this coming Monday, July 20. Saturday, July 26th
    This gives you time to review the information contained in the forum
    link provided above. Please do not send questions about Oceanside Wealth
    to me at this time. Instead, post them in the forum and I'm sure they will be
    responded to quickly. As you review the information in the forum you will
    see that Oceanside Wealth is very similar to MrsVIP in that they both have...

    ...a membership matrix structure

    ...a passive income opportunity*

    ...the means by which ALL members can earn, whether or not they refer
    a single person.

    *Since we are required to view and rate websites an average of 22 days
    per month, V-Lane Traffic cannot be defined as totally passive. Oceanside
    Wealth is totally passive.

    I have already decided to join the program based upon the information I have seen.
    I will be sending my referral link as soon as the program launches. I will send a 24
    hour notice prior to the launch as a reminder.

    Active marketers should pay close attention to the matrix income potential. I am not
    going to hype the matrix portion of the program. While there is always significant spillover
    the moment a program launches, especially a 2-wide matrix, it is not of major significance
    to inactive members who find themselves on the lower levels of any matrix. It will be of
    interest to our active members and I suggest that everyone make your contacts aware
    of Oceanside Wealth. The purpose for the matrix side of the program is to reward the
    efforts of active marketers and responsible sponsors. Without active marketers these
    programs would not exist. While we are not required to refer anyone to earn in the matrix,
    those that do will earn a 50% matching bonus on anyone they do refer!

    As is always the case, most of the members of OSW will not be in the "active marketer"
    category. Like V-Lane Traffic, they will see the value of the passive portion of the program
    and they will understand that the returns from the program will greatly exceed the monthly
    cost of membership assuming they have adequate funds available to make the program
    work for them.

    Watch for more info about OSW very soon from myself and the forum.
    Whether or not this program can perform as advertised and can sustain long-
    term remains to be seen. If so, I expect that our team will grow steadily as has
    been the case with QLx3 and MrsVIP. As many of you know, our group accounts
    for almost 1/2 of the entire QLx3 and GMS membership base. One thing is certain.
    Whenever a forced matrix is part of the equation, joining sooner is always much better
    than joining later.

    The payment processors will be....

  • Re the car/gas/truck thing? Always going up? The prices?

    This guy has some good thoughts:

July 17th (Thursday)

  • Be cool. It’s really hot here. I will be doing more travel tomorrow as I get my bike out of the repair shop.
     
  • Well, am now withdrawing, on average, about $300 USD each week from 10DollarsWonder.  I can’t complain about that, can you? That’s about $1200 USD per month. And the 10centclub is going to be active soon, and from there I will withdraw a similar amount. So that’s about $2400 USD a month. That’s pretty well a full time income for most of us, right?

    Now remember, ALWAYS re-purchase at least one position each month, else ALL of your positions will go inactive and you will have to purchase the same number of new shares to activate them.  It’s in the Policies and Procedures.

    So I praise the Admin (Chung) for these two great programmes.  The first one has been active for well over a year now!
     
  • JOKES:

    Canadians are not afraid to stand up.... and be wishy-washy.

    The Toronto Maple Leafs, during a drug test, tested positive.... for sucking.
     
  • Ok here are my Spiritual confessions, all in one shot:

    Why am I here? That's what am trying to figure out.  Where do I fit in, and most importantly, why? Why should any of this exist?  Why should anyone exist at all? Why? Surely you have pondered that at some time?  If not? I wonder why.

    Am I being cynical? I just noticed that folks, and even Angels (so-called) and Guides, existing at so-called "higher" levels (of vibration or vibratory frequencies), also play games, "as above, so below.  As below, so above, from Hermes Tresmigistus".

    So you see, until I get a handle on the "why" I can't really be of help, can I?  Or maybe I can. Maybe I can play into their (your) current beliefs and guide them (you) so they (you) find their (your) own way (pardon all the brackets)?

     But why?  That is the burning question for me.  If you and your/my Guides can help me with this so much the better, so much the faster, so I can get on my way.  You know? Am not doing this intentionally, am really searching for an answer, for a means, for a purpose, for the why of it all. I really am.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you all that are Spiritually inclined. js Now tell me why.

  • Hot day today. Nothing to say.  Gold was down over yesterday but is now rising. And that’s good for me.  In fact, in the last 15 seconds it rose 50 cents!  Wow!  See the chart, top left.
     
  • Ok, listen up. In Traffic-Splash, as I mentioned before you can earn very nice surf rewards each day you surf. But the thing is... unless you scroll down and look at the requirements? You may not earn at all. That’s what happened to me (but they have compensated me nevertheless, and thanks!).

    The thing is... once you have surfed 100 pages or more?  And are about to quit for the day?  Open up a support ticket, tell them your username and such, and how many pages you surfed. They will check, then they will add your credits as text or banners.  Probably you should tell them which you would like or the split between the two.

    That was cleared up for me today by Support and they were very nice and ... compensating!  I do appreciate it. So I went ahead and created five more text ads with 4000 credits each.
     
  • One of my readers just traded me his e-gold for my paypal.  And I rejoice.  Why?  Not because of what I have made, but because the price of gold is going up and up each day!  See the chart up top, left. E-GOLD holds your USD or your EUROS in ounces of gold bullion. That’s it. So as the price of gold keeps rising?  The more money you will have.  So don’t waste your e-gold! You WILL be able to sell it in the future. At least I think so!

July 15th (Tuesday)

  • About my Adwords campaign for HHO/Brown’s Gas/Improving the Gas Mileage of your car or truck:

    After I fixed that “Hydrogen” keyword problem I also trimmed down on the various keyword phrase combinations.  For instance I eliminated such phrases as: burn water for gas, because that one is easily replaced by: water gas.  This is a broad matching phrase that will catch the first query because both water and gas occur in it.  So it is not necessary to spell the whole thing out and bid on it.

    I also eliminated such exact phrase matches as: [save gas] as that one would only trigger my adverts if the person entered: save gas, and nothing else (the person would most likely have entered: save money on gas). That one was easily replaced by: save gas (notice no square brackets), as the latter throws out a larger net in which to catch end user queries.  The former is a much smaller net, if you can see what I mean.

    So finally the Campaign has been tweaked all it can be and am just watching the daily clicks, cost, and which Ads are doing better than others.

    As well, so far I’ve only told Adwords to display my ads when users use only the Search feature at google.com. The other feature is to allow google to display my adverts on other people’s websites, if the content matches any of my keywords.  That part is called the Content network or Adsense. So at 11:08 EST today I was brave enough to turn that part of it on. I will go out for an hour, come back, and see if am getting robbed or if the extra clicks are worth it, in terms of some sales. I have 2 sales so far. And it has been fun! The next Campaign will go far more quickly and easily. (And I will not have as much competition as in this one.)
     
  • Sorry, my site was down for six hours or so due to a UPS problem at the Hosting Provider (they had to shut down half their network due to a blown fuse), but... I suspect otherwise.  It began on Friday... when they failed to renew their registration and their registrar and had to scramble to re-en state it and handle the propagation from that. That’s ok, I forgive them.

    Subject: interesting book

    Hi John ...
     
    You might be interested in reading this book .. it's free and it's available online to read.
     
    The author is a regular poster at the David Icke forum and I've had some correspondence with him.
     
    Anyway, he put a lot of time and effort into this book and it's put together in a much simpler and easier to digest format than a lot of other books out there saying basically the same thing.  In other words, if someone is new to this sort of information, they will find this book much easier to absorb ...
     
    waykiwayki.com
     
    People can download it if they wish but if they don't want to wait for the long download or for it to take up space on their pc, they can click the "read now" button on the site and it'll open another website called Scribd that one can read from there.  I chose the latter and clicked on "full screen" and am half way through the book after a day .. it's that good :-) Reads at a good quick clip and like I said, much much more "friendly" to digest without people feeling overwhelmed ....
     
    I'm trying to spread the word about it .... the author makes no money from this other than donations that are voluntary ...
     
    Hope you find it as informative as I do :-)
     
    Dolphin

    js: Thanks Dolphin. And yes, folks, spread the word. Oh and even though I know most of this stuff already (as presented in the above book) I still felt like sending in a donation for the good work that was done.  And is being done.  They take paypal.

July 12th (Saturday)

  • I made a mistake.  And you should avoid making the same one. It was in my Adwords Campaign for the Hydrogen Ad Group.

    What happened was that I saw in Google/Slasher that folks were finding my ads through the keyword: Hydrogen. That was yesterday morning. So I said: what the heck, let’s add that keyword to my Hydrogen Ad Group campaign.

    By the evening I noticed that I had about 5 or so clicks on one or more of my ads for that keyword.  Just over $1.50 as it was thirty one cents per click. No big deal, right?

    Well I wake up this morning at 6:30 AM EST and check my Adwords progress.  Bang! I was hit in the head. The cost of that Ad Group that contained the keyword hydrogen was up at $19 and change! OUCH!

    Why? Then it came to me.  What an idiot.  I KNEW that if I were to add a simple keyword like: Hydrogen that any query that contained that keyword would trigger the showing of my Ads in the Hydrogen Ad Group!  What does this mean?

    Well, let’s say some 12 year old was up late at night cramming to finish his Science Project on Hydrogen.  So he enters the following google search query: Will my cat suffocate if exposed to Hydrogen?

    Now that search phrase contains the word Hydrogen, so all of my Ads in the Hydrogen Ad Group get triggered and are displayed. The kid looks on the right of the results screen, scrolls through a few pages, and notices one or more of my Ads.... he just pays attention to the Title, and it contains Hydrogen. So he clicks on it and it costs me thirty one cents!

    Then old Granny comes online and ... you get the picture.

    So this morning I quickly went into my keywords list in my Hydrogen Ad Group and PAUSED that particular keyword.

    So let that be a lesson to you and I.  Only enter phrases that folks are using, like “hydrogen fuel cell”.  This one will match any search query that contains exactly that phrase.  Or [hydrogen HHO], that one would trigger my ads only if the person specifically and only entered that phrase and nothing else. Or: hydrogen hho brown’s gas.  That would trigger my ads if the search phrase contains all of those words, in any order, anywhere. Neat eh? And fun! Wow.
     
  • Yesterday I talked about the price of Gas at the pump. Is there something that we could do to lower the price of Gas at the pump? I don’t think so.

    A few days ago The President of the US, George Walker Bush, was asked what he was doing to lower gas prices. His response was something like this: If I could wave a magic wand and have the price of Gas at the pump go down.... well, I’d do that! But I can’t.

    Har! What a brilliant response from the Leader of the #1 Super Power on the planet.

    But then... Obama was asked the same question (if he were to become President....) Guess what his answer was? Basically the same as Bush’s!  Can you believe it?

    So what am saying is that we have failed to influence the Governments and the Oil Industry (and the Car industry) to do something about rising prices of fossil fuels or to depend less on fossil fuels.

    So as I mentioned yesterday (below) we have to take the fight to our cars! And trucks!  There are now lots of folks buying Guides and Kits that allow them to extract compressed Hydrogen, or rather HHO or Brown’s Gas, get that into the car or truck engine and improve performance and mileage. And most of these kits and guides are under $200.

    So yesterday I indicated that the best Guide out there (to implement) is this one: CENTEMAX for complete novices and newbies.

    Now, there are some folks out there that love tinkering with their cars and that would like to be a part of an Organization that is World-Wide which loves to tinker, make new innovations, and share them with the rest of the members, with no patents, so that one can even go out there, file a patent and start producing and selling whatever it is one has discovered (from others even). 

    This one is a bit more expensive than the one above due to all kinds of add-on benefits. So if you are that type of person you would best be served by this one: Water4Gas.  Have fun with your car or truck!  Am going to as well, as soon as I buy a used car, in August I think.
     
  • Back to HHO, Brown’s Gas and increasing your Gas Mileage: ok, there are some nay-sayers out there that keep standing on their hind legs and braying that it takes more energy to produce Brown’s Gas than you can get energy out of that Brown’s Gas, so poooo poooo!

    What they DO NOT understand is that the Brown’s Gas (HHO or H + H or 2H 2O) improves the gasoline BURN efficiency of your car’s engine!  Right now the burn efficiency is somewhere around 20% to 30%. Brown’s gas, when it enters the chamber and a spark ignites this lightest of molecules, cause the gasoline to burn FASTER and more completely, thus producing far less (if any) emissions (unburned hydrocarbons), as well as making MORE use of the gasoline being burned, thus leading to better gas mileage (how does one say... kilometrage? French I guess.)

    You see, this is why your car contains a catalytic converter!  To burn off that remaining portion that the engine (in one cycle) did not burn off. But with the addition of Brown’s Gas that stuff gets burned off in one cycle, hence no emissions and more bang for your gasoline buck!

    So the HHO or Brown’s Gas DOES NOT contribute extra energy, kapish? Now, if any of you are interested I can print, here, a very lengthy compilation of discussions on this issue. If you read through it, by the time you get to the end?  You will understand what I have just summarized. Tell me if you want me to print all that here.

    So these kits really DO work, but not for the reasons that most believe. Or are led to believe.
     
  • So am enjoying the rest of the day off, as I can, and my doorbell rings. I waddle down the stairs and open the door.  There before me stands some alien looking guy.  I have a question on my face and he notices.

    He then says to me: “Do you realize that there are people starving right now in Kosovo?” I look around, look at my girth, and after a while I reply, defending myself: “But I have been here all day!”

    “I haven’t eaten any of their food!” Then I realize that he’s just here to collect money to help the starving folks in Kosovo.  Dang!

    Ok, relax, that was just a joke! Sheesh. Hope you got a laugh.

July 11th (Friday)

  • Something I discovered today, or recalled: are you in Traffic-Splash?  That’s the one that has a five second timer.  Well I signed in today and decided to click on Surf Rewards. And the next screen brought my memory back.  To start off with, if you surf 100 sites in a day you get 1000 text ad points, and 500 banner ad points.

    Now I have surfed over 100 sites each and every day for a while now. So I checked my banners, I had three and added a fourth today and had 10,000 banner ad points!  So put those to use.

    Same with the text ads.  So don’t you too forget!  Use those credits!
     
  • Ok, about my adwords campaigns for Water4Gas?  Had some clicks overnight.  Cost about $2.65 so far.  Clicks but no sales yet. Patience.................
     
  • The price of Google/Nemesis/Slasher is going up by 4 PM EST today.  They’ve sold 10,000 copies and are trying to limit how many more are sold.
     
  • Over the day I’ve made a number of adjustments to my Adwords campaign and Ad Groups (two of them) and am starting to get clicks!  Hopefully sales will follow.  I had to split my main Ad Group into two: one that related to water for gas and the other that related to Hydrogen, HHO, Hydrogen fuel cells and so on.  This must be done so that you know which Ad Groups are performing well and which are not, and within those, which Ads (because the Ads that you create must relate to the keywords that folks are typing in at google.com, if they don’t?  Your placement is poor).

    In any case, are you folks not sick and tired of the high gas prices that continue to rise?  I even heard on CNN today that there is speculation and anticipation of further rising prices because analysts expect further attacks to continue by guerillas on the Niger Delta (Nigeria is the fourth largest Oil producer and shipper to the USA).  So expect prices at the pump to rise even further, even if no more attacks occur.

    So what’s the solution?  The solution is with each and every one of you! Forget the high prices.  Get a kit that converts stored Hydrogen in a water bottle (a quart) [using current (amps) from your car or truck battery] to Brown’s Gas, also known as HHO and Hydroxy.  One pint/quart of water will allow your car to go another 900 miles on the same tank of gas!

    Here is my top pick for most of you non-techies: CENTEMAX.

July 10th (Thursday)

  • OK, let me continue from I left off yesterday. I had completed the Reviews page by editing the provided template by Google/Slasher.  It gave me a link to the page (and they host it).

    So then I signed in at Adwords (and you can get a free account at adwords.google.com) and proceeded to set up a Campaign.  But first I used a free tool to figure out which keywords that pertained to my product(s) were being used by the folks that get to google.com.

    You can use either the Google Assassin Tool or this free tool: http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ <--- OK, best compare against the new Google Tool, info is below.

    So in my case I looked up these keywords and keyword phrases (and more): water for gas, burn water, HHO, hydrogen, hydrogen cell, water fuel cell (and more). I chose the ones that got the most hits (in the hundreds) and used those in my Adwords campaig in the Keyword section.

    Then I create two ads that went against the same keywords. This is called split-testing.  It’s where you test two or three different adverts for the same keywords that folks enter in google.com when they are looking for a product or service. after a few hour or even days you will notice that google adwords tracks the number of impressions and clicks for each advert (and even keyword, in the keyword section).  The ratio of clicks to impressions, expressed as a percentage is what is called a ClickThroughRatio, or CTR.  The higher the CTR the more effective is your advert. After a while, when you can see that the CTR of one of your ads is significantly greater than that of the other adverts, you simple delete the ineffective adverts.

    One more hurdle I faced that after a few minutes of posting my two adverts both were suspended by the Editorial Staff for breach of rules on the “display link”. You see there is a display link in the advert an an actual link that takes them to the right review page.  The rules are that the display link must at least contain the domain name of the target link, and mine did not.  I finally read the rules, and replaced the display link with reviewcb.com and both ads went through ok.  That was this morning.  And am already getting impressions of my ads.

    If you then go to the keywords tab, google will show you the CTR for each keyword. A CTR less than 2% is excellent, so don’t expect to see CTRs higher than that.  On the right side of the screen you will also see a placement figure. It ranges from 1 to 10 as it is referring to the max possible ads on the right hand side of a google search.  You should aim for positions 5 through 7, not 1 through 3.  I’ll explain why later, maybe.
     
  • 10:00 AM EST.  I was just rereading Andrew Goodman’s excellent book “Winning Results with Google AdWords” (look it up at Amazon.com) down at the dam.  And it just came to me that most folks are afraid to start using Google Adwords to create their ads and attract folks to the products that they are selling.

    Why is that?

    First I think it is the learning curve.  Most folks will balk at learning something new that requires a lot of attention.

    Secondly, most folks think it will cost them a lot in cost per click. Well, read Andy Goodman’s book and that will help to dispel that fear (it’s a bidding process and you can get clicks at a low cost).

    Finally, I want you to know that if you use Google/Nemesis/Slasher to build your review pages that you need not use Google Adwords at all! That’s right.  You read that right.  Slasher gives you a special link to your reviews page.  Simply put that link in Forum signatures (saying something like “Unbiased review of the life of toasters....”, in Article submissions, even traffic exchanges. Basically, advertise your link as you would any other. The beauty is that Google Slasher will then keep track of where your clicks are coming from and where your sales are coming from without you having to set up any kind of tracking whatsoever.

    I hope that’s clear. Am doing both.
     
  • I received an e-mail from Ewen Chia (A Super Affiliate) about a change at Google recently. Basically consider NOT using the WordTracker tool I mentioned above as it is likely inaccurate. Here is his e-mail on this:

    “Hi John,

    Thanks for being my joint venture partner!

    I've more good products coming up for you to promote and make money with and will update you soon...

    Today I just want to tell you about a new change in adwords which will be good news to most of us.

    Something big happened in the internet marketing world this morning and you need to know about it...

    Google have done something which they said they'd never do, and it probably spells the "end" for services like Wordtracker.

    Here's the summary...

    - If you've ever used Google Adwords you'll know they always represented search volume for a keyword by a rating out of 5.

    This morning they scrapped that, and started showing ACTUAL SEARCH VOLUME for keywords.

    Now Wordtracker keyword volumes have always been accused of being wildly inaccurate because they make predictions from only 2-3% of actual search activity. So now that Google has made a change, more accurate search volume is finally available.

    Go try it out here, enter a keyword and you'll see Google's estimate of actual search volume - and this is great news for us internet marketers!

    adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

    How does this affect your keyword and market research?

    Now you can be absolutely sure of the size of a niche because there's no more need to make wild guesses about search volume :-)

    Hope you find this useful.

    Talk soon John.

    To Your Success!

    Ewen”
     
  • Ok, I’ve received so many e-mails from my readers urging me to get going with ASDCashGenerator that I finally threw my hands up and surrendered. I’ve had an account with them since Nov. of 2007.  It appears that these folks are doing exceptionally well.  You earn 125% of your Adpackage and then it disappears. Well there are more details on the site.

    Some of my readers have put in $5K to $10K already into this one and folks seem to be quite happy. Andy Bowdoin got invited to speak with President George W. Bush (something about receiving the Medal of Distinction).... wooooh, yawn.  Must be doing something good! And this one is not a ponzi, apparently. And about 2000 new members join each day.

    Ok then! Let’s Play!  I’ve bought nearly 900 adpacks today.

July 9th (Wednesday)

  • Well I finally managed to purchase Google Nemesis (Slasher). I had to eventually use a credit card as paypal would not verify my transaction for some odd reason.
     
  • I’ve started working with the key tool this morning without watching any of the videos as it is quite self-explanatory and guides you through the campaign setup and creating of the Reviews page(s). Each Review page will contain three reviews. It guides you to choose the Top Product using keywords (and here you should try several different keywords to bring up a Clickbank product that fits; I had to try several variations before I found the Top Product I wanted to review). Then you are guided to select the Middle Product and then the Bottom product.

    You are then presented with a template. You just click on each entry and write your review (you are guided in everything, from listing benefits to sales copy and so on).  So this step should be followed very carefully. Do not rush. You will have access to each Product you chose so you can peruse the sales page of each and extract the key info that you need to put into the review. So you don’t even have to be an expert at writing reviews.

    So that’s where am at. Working on my first review of three key products. After that I will simply create an Adwords Campaign and use copy and paste to move the info over. I won’t have to worry about tracking (and sales tracking) as Google Nemesis/Slasher will do that for me.

    So now am taking a break and then will get back to finishing my first Campaign.
     
  • After a few breaks I have finally finished one of three reviews using Google Nemesis/Slasher.  Here is my progress so far. Please do not steal my text. Come up with your own.

    As you can see only the first Review is done.  The other two remain as templates.

    4:45 PM EST: Ok the above is no longer true as I’ve finished all three reviews and started an Adwords Campaign.  I don’t expect too many results as this is the one that Chris X gave away to thousands of folks. So it was just for practice.  By the way, I can also use the review in forums, signatures, articles, and so on. So am not limited to using Adwords, neither are you.

    Oh and I forgot to mention, Chris X and folks host your reviews pages, so you don’t need a website.

    The link is now live and working.  There are a limited number of “seats” though. So don’t tarry.

    After you have finished reading and scrolled to the bottom of the page, click on the ORDER NOW button, then on the next page scroll to the bottom.  If you don’t see it say affiliate=micronuts then do not yet purchase. Instead either try another browser or clear your cache and cookie for clickbank and try it again.

    Well it seems all this has been fixed as am seeing sales through paypal.

  • Ok, I cannot stress this enough.

    When you try and sell an info-product, say, there are two key ways of selling it.
    In both ways let's assume, as a given, that you're going to write a review of the product and compare it to two others.  And you're going to send folks to your review, not the sales page.

    One more thing, you don't have to buy the product to produce a good review.  If the sales page sucks?  Drop the product! No matter how good your review is you will eventually have to send them to the sucky sales page. Loss of sale.

    So, assuming you found a product with a good sales page? Read the sales page thoroughly, make notes of the key points, and build your review around that. Then review two more alternatives. Put that on your review page.

    So now we are down to the question of how are we going to put our review page in front of faces.

    Technique A: Go to social sites, find others who have written reviews about the product you are selling, or a similar product. Put in a comment at their review and include the link to your review page. See the post below where I cover Day 1 through 4 or 5 where I outline the technique.

    Also included in Technique A is advertising your review page in forums via signatures, posting the review in forums, advertising your review page in traffic exchanges, free advertising sites and the like.

    What's wrong with this technique?  Tedious.  Time-consuming. May cost money.  And most of all, YOU ARE FISHING FOR CUSTOMERS!

    Technique B: Create Adword campaigns based on keywords.  In this case it is as if you are placing ads in magazines and newspapers.  Short ads.  But based on certain keywords.  Based on WHAT THE CUSTOMER IS LOOKING FOR!

    And the testing time can take hours or days, not weeks or months as in magazine advertising and newspaper advertising.

    Ok, so what? Well, let's see what the top Affiliates are selling and which keywords are they using? Well, that's tough to do. You need a tool or set of tools to find that out.

    Now, previously, Google Assassin helped you with that, but it came with a plethora of tools and many newbies could not get a handle on it.  So they begged and Chris X spent another $60K to build one tool that does it all.

    One more thing.  Tracking. If you can't track how well your keywords are doing, and your clicks, and your sales?  Then you are groping in the dark.  Sure tracking can be implemented in Clickbank, but it can get complex, especially tracking each keyword!

    That's where Google Nemesis comes in (this Tuesday at 3PM EST).  It no only lets you find out the top keywords used by the competition, but it will track them, track your links, tell you which keywords are costing you money, which are making you money.  And you don't have to worry about the tracking, it does it all for you.

    So ask me this: which of the Techniques does js prefer?  Why that's a no brainer!  Technique B using Google Nemesis! First, it is not as boring as Technique A, where am actually LOOKING FOR CUSTOMERS, it is interesting and can even get fun and challenging.

    So are you going to take the challenge and get into Goolge Adwords with the help of Google Nemesis?  Or are you going to plug away and advertise your link in exchanges, surf sites, free ads, and all that boring stuff?

    Up to you.

    Watch this video: http://4u2bn.com/fg76 and come back on Tuesday after 3PM EST and use the same link to get the product.

  • PRODUCT REVIEW: Google Nemesis (launching Tuesday, 3 PM EST)

    Ok, listen, both of us know that Affiliate Marketing is the way to go
    and that Google Adwords is what you should be using to promote other people's products.  Why?  Because when folks go to a search engine like google.com and enter a search they are actually LOOKING for what they want and need.

    So that's completely different from the scenario where you try to sell products through advertising, search sites, exchanges, free ads and so on. There you are looking for the customer.  In the former case the customer is looking for what you are selling!

    Fine.  One more thing. Taking folks to the author's sales page simply does not work as everyone else and his dog are doing that.  Besides, when Affiliates do that they are using the same link as other affiliates that are promoting the same product, and google only allows the same link ONCE. So how are you going to get to the top of the organic (free) listings?  Not a chance.

    The solution is to write a review page for each product you are selling. On each review page compare at least three similar products.  Write up an honest review and put that up on your site. It will have a unique link and google will like that.

    But then what about tracking your clicks and your sales. It's doable, but complicated so most folks will not do it and hence leave money on the table.

    Well, Google Nemesis will not only generate your reviews at a push of the button, but also create all the tracking links for each keyword.  So you won't have to worry about those details. I myself and buying this one simply because it eliminates the tracking headache, and trust me it is a headache.

    Now here is what Chris X had to say about Google Nemesis:

    Unless you’ve been under a rock for the last few weeks, you will have heard
    about our soon to be launched review page creator – Google Nemesis.

    This will automate the entire process of creating review pages to promote
    affiliate products.

    But in addition to that we incorporated into the software an automated
    tracking system that cuts out all the need for you to track your campaigns
    manually.

    I am not going to say too much about it here as Google Nemesis is about to
    be launched in the next few days and all will be revealed - but what I will tell
    you is that the automated tracking system included in Google Nemesis :

     Uses hidden tracking indicators which automatically track your
    keywords for you and show you which ones are losing money.

     uses a secret tracking system that will highlight profitable keywords for
    you

     removes the need for you to set tracking up – so you can just forget
    about it and get on with creating your review pages and campaigns


    In short Google Nemesis is a ‘push button’ automated system that will
    create your review page, track all of your keywords and tell you clearly which
    ones are winners and which are losers. It even tells you how to write the
    product review.
     
    All you have to do is decide which products you are going to promote – it’s as
    easy as that.
     
    As I pointed out – I am removing all and any excuses for you not to be able to
    create review pages quickly and easily AND track your campaigns without any
    work on your part because Google Nemesis has it all automated for you.  

    It really is a ‘push button’ system that you will be up and running
    with immediately.
     
    Remember, if you want to maximise profits from your campaigns you need to 
    start using review pages and track your campaigns but you also need to make
    the whole process as easy as possible so that you can cash in on it.

    Google Nemesis is ready to do this for you.

    The launch is on Tuesday, 3PM Eastern.

    js: If you need a very good and cheap hosting service ($7.95 a month) then go with Hostgator:

    Oh and I forgot to mention, Chris X and folks host your reviews pages, so you don’t need a website.

    ==== GOOGLE NEMESIS: FAQ & RUMOUR CONTROL...

    Q: WHAT IS GOOGLE NEMESIS?
    A: Google Nemsis is the answer to the question, "why can't I make
    money with ClickBank in 2008". It took us over $60,000 and 8 months
    to do it, but today we have succeeded in creating the ultimate  
    wealth-building system. This all-in-one weapon of affiliate doom    
    allows you to "predict" conversion rates using our 3 "hidden" 
    indicators. It allows you to systematically locate the top PPC
    campaigns, and then create your own "superior clone" in minutes.

    Swipe our $1500/day templates and edit them with the click of a 
    mouse, then launch using - you guessed it - more proven templates.  
    We have reverse-engineered a $1500/day campaign, bottled the
    formula, and are about to unleash it onto the `net in less than 48
    hours.

    Q: WHY GOOGLE NEMESIS?
    A: Nemesis is defined as "an opponent that cannot be beaten or  
    overcome", or "one that inflicts divine retribution and vengeance".
    And frankly, there has never been a more apt name for any     
    money-making tool or system.

    As the below video shows, my Nemesis system has already *dominated* 
    the toughest niche on ClickBank to the tune of $1500/day.

    It's already generated job-killing income for a select few of my
    test subjects. And, since you will literally be copying a series of   
    proven templates, you're going to profit - NOT by being smart - but 
    by simply following clear and easy instructions.

    And remember, too, that this all comes under the hallowed "Day Job
    Killer" brand. So, it's not about a theoretical $1 million tomorrow 
    - it's about you making a realistic second income today.

    It's about the guys who need it most having their *first* $100 day
    ...and getting a bit of "vengeance" and "divine retribution" along
    the way.

    Q: WHAT PRICE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?
    A: Frankly, given the numbers here, we were looking at a      
    $197-297/month release price. And at that price, it would be a    
    bargain. Expect a monthly fee lower than that - but certainly not
    cheap.

    Q: WILL THIS REPLACE GOOGLE ASSASSIN / DJK / ETC?
    A: All of my previous guides have generated job-killing income for
    thousands of affiliates - and they will never be replaced. What     
    Nemesis does is this: it takes my previous methods and refines and
    simplifies them ...so that even the greenest of newbies can profit.

    Q: ANYTHING ELSE?
    A: Yes, watch the video. Understand that all of this is doable,
    these numbers ARE within reach, whether you buy or not. And, for  
    those who take action on Tuesday,... enjoy :)

    Now, for the proof you have demanded of me. Enjoy...

  • numenmail was closed or was a scam back in 2004.

    Here is a note from a reader of mine:

    "Concerning numenmail, I realize that the posts are quite old. Still, I wanted to add my ideas.

    I joined Numenmail about two months ago and have already applied for my $8888 reward for having participated in the program. As to the $800 difference, they give you $800 to begin. Thus, if you already read enough emails to earn $300, your balance will show as $1100. When you get to $8888 or more in earnings, they offer you many ways to get $8888 sent to you. I chose a check since I live in the Philippines where it is harder to handle those other methods.

    Whenever your earnings are high enough ($8888), there will be a note on the bottom of the page of your earnings. Click on the link and tell them you want your money. I did it when my earnings were over $10,000. Then, my balance showed $1112, the difference between $10,000 and $8888. Now I am starting over again.

    I just asked for my earnings about a week ago so I don't expect my check for another month or so."

    Dang! this really sounds like  scam! Why do it? You see the machinations here? Ugh!

    and

    "Numenmail : Internet scam?

    I hv an account in this site. It said I'm paid to click. Well, since it's free so I tried (when it come to free thing, I would LOVE to try! Can't help it :p). What I hv to do is click any sponsor and wait around 30-50s, then they credited money into my account. Sound simple isn't it? But then I refer to the internet, there are discussion about this site and even announced it as scam! It's true that it cost me nothing to register and click (I even watch youtube while waiting for 30s to end) But considering I'm contributing money to someone else and gain nothing in return, I hv to blacklist it. Why should I do something that doesn't profit me back?"

    I looked around some more and am pretty comfortable at saying that this one is a scam.

  • Happy Independence Day to those of you in the USA, but not the US.
     
  • The True Cause of Illness according to George Ohsawa (of the Macrobiotic Foundation)

    “The true cause of illness is desire, which comes from greed, which results, in turn, from ignorance about the Order of the Universe.  I, who have counseled some fifteen thousand sick people, say it outright. Desire, greed, blindness of heart, arrogance, and pride - all these are characteristics of the sick. And it all comes from ignorance and stupidity caused by the cloud that separates us from true Wisdom”

    “By nature we possess a cloudless Wisdom, given that we are born of that infinite, absolute world which is of God. We are all children of God and citizens of an infinite, absolute world. Forgetting this truth is the cloud that causes us to be sick...”

    “Our conception of the Universe needs to rest on a great principle.  Such a principle must not only be valid for the finite world, but must be applicable to both the finite and infinite realms... It should be a principle that allows for the elevation of man’s daily existence to a higher level, one that is marked by a healthy, happy, peaceful, free, and ideal way of life.”
     
  • BEGINNER IN AFFILIATE MARKETING (this is for ALL of you)

    Ok, am going to pretend am a part time affiliate marketer wannabe. Am going to chronicle my day to day activities and progress.

    OVERVIEW:

    I've decided to sell some other people's products. What's my best choice? Info products. Why? Nothing to ship, no inventory. And Clickbank will do the payment processing and shipping (dowloading).

    Ok am off to my day job.

    Day 1:

    Ok am back and ready to go (but am kinda tired so I have some coffee).

    So the first thing I need to do is to find an info product that talks about something that I know something about, so that I can talk about it, and write up an unbiased review of. (Sorry, must be the caffeine)

    Ok am now going to clickbank.com and am registering for an account.  Done.

    I've signed in and am going to the Marketplace.  I've decided to choose the Health category as am somewhat familiar with health related issues.  And as a sub-catergory I chose Spiritual Health.  I clicked on GO and the number one info product that showed up is: Secret Behind The Secret - Fast Selling Book About Law Of Attraction

    Wow! I know something about that! So am sure I will have fun selling that e-book.  In fact, am so excited about it, and so that I write a good and informed review of it, I decide to buy it myself (using my own Clickbank username of course so I get it at half price; hey! why not?).

    I pay for the eBook, download it, and read through it quickly. Wow! This one looks like the real thing!  Ok, gotta go to bed, will write up my review tomorrow.

    Day 2:

    Ok, am back from work and raring to go!  Am excited! So, what I need now is to write a review and put it on some website. Dang it I don't have one of my own.  Ok, so then am going to open up a free blogspot account at blogger.com.  I go to blogger.com, register, and voila, I have a new blog account called http://9-planetreviews.blogspot.com. What I like about this one is that every review that I publish there can be addressed individually via a link like this: http://9-planetreviews.blogspot.com/2008/06/product-review-law-of-attraction-secret.html

    So that's going to be my review. I spend the next half hour to an hour writing the review and posting at blgospot.com

    Whew!  That was some effort, but ... easy (as I knew something about the topic).

    Ok, time to relax, bed, and go to work.

    Day 3:

    Back from work.  Supper. And right back to the computer! What's my next step? I have to expose that review, which, by the way, at the bottom has a link to the actual eBook and free report.

    Am thinking of taking advantage of the Social Networking sites.

    So here is my strategy:

    - use Google Advanced Search to find posts by other folks on the Law Of Attraction and Manifesting.
    - Once I find those, I will look and see if there are any comments to what the author has posted.
    - Usually there are ZERO comments. That's ideal, because if I post a comment with my link to my unbiased review?  Folks seeing the Author's post will look for comments... and will see mine right away!

    So... tonight..... I've chosen a popular social network. I go to google.com and click on Advanced search. In the "All these words" box I proceed to enter: law attraction manifesting

    Then I go down to the "Search within a site or domain" box and enter the domain name of the social network of interest.  Press Enter.

    An lo and behold appear a number of results.

    I then open each link in a separate window (Shift-Click), one at a time.... I look for the comments. If none, I add a comment (I had to register with one of them to post comments first).

    And the comment I added had something to do with what the author was proposing.  If it had nothing to do with the eBook am trying to sell? I would maneuver like this:

    "Wow, that's interesting, because I too have found a document that contains both the Scientific explanation and the ancient explanation. Not only that, but the principles AND the methods, something lacking in MOST books (and in most Teachers).

    Here is my unbiased review of a book written by a Physicist and one that has studied Spirituality for a long time:
    http://4u2bn.com/ff70"

    Now the url you see above is a cloaked url to my unbiased review.  You need not use such a thing.. but if you wish to see where your sales are coming from then you would cloak this: http://9-planetreviews.blogspot.com/2008/06/product-review-law-of-attraction-secret.html with something like http://4u2bn.com/ff70 (you can do so via http://4u2bn.com/?micronuts )

    Whew, by now am tired and ready to hit the sack. But a drink first, just to relax me from all that excitement.

    Day 4:

    Right now all I have to do is repeat Day 3, or where I left off with the next Social Link for Law of Attraction and Manifesting. At this point it feels tedious to me, but hey, most of these posters don't bother to put in comments.  So here is my opportunity to generate traffic to my site or review! My unbiased and honest review (hint hint, use those words!). In fact, I keep a Notebook open and copy all of my various comments into it... just in case, as in the future similar responses will be required and I don’t want to retype. I may just change the wording slightly.

    Now, if you liked that?  There's a Book coming out soon that details not only this technique but others. Stay tuned, have some money ready, and be ready to buy.  I sure am.

    Conclusion:
    this may seem complicated?  It's not. Just relax and focus.  It may also take some time for this to get viral. So patience. Now, once you have done this with one product, find another and do it again. Do it for 100 products!  Why not?

  • It’s nice and quiet here at 5:48 AM EST. Not much to say yet, so I won’t.
     
  • Are you folks in the USA getting ready for the big day tomorrow? Independence Day?  I wonder how many will be renting and watching the movie of the same name, where Will Smith knocks out an Alien critter? Good movie!
     
  • I’ve just noticed that ... there are dogs everywhere!  They are even invading the blogs!

    Now what if Civilization breaks down?  What are you survivors going to do about them dogs? It’s going to be a horror. But... what about the cats?  Maybe we can enlist the cats? Ok, good idea! We had better start training them now! Let’s set up camps and get those kitties roaring!

  • REVISITING uVme

    It's a good thing I could never get that one started (in the beginning when they were in prelaunch).

    Do you know what uVme stands for (possibly, according to another blogger)? YOU vs. ME. And ME=Admin/Creator, and YOU are the loser. Well, I tend to agree. The folks who think they are smarter than us always choose revealing symbols, icons, signs, names, and acronyms.

    uVme is a replicating game platform that you have to shell out $200 for. You can't even make money just playing the games.

    As well they have the typical Amway Hierarchy and even terms.  I think you can guess where the designers of this one came from.
     
  • THE BEST WAY TO SEARCH MY BLOG:

    Open up a browser window and load google.com.

    Click on the Advanced Search link on the right of the Search Box
    .
    Enter what you are looking for in the appropriate section.

    Then in the last text entry box (Search a site or domain) enter: 9planetrevews.com

    This way google searches all of the blog pages, not just one.

    I myself could not bring up the site for a second day now. But that's ok. I did some research and found out that it is a typical pyramid scam.  So don't throw away your dollar.

     
  • PROGRAMME REVIEW: shutterstock.com

    You can access to over 4 Million Stock photos, by subscription.  There is also an opportunity for those of you who take good pictures at: submit.shutterstock.com

    Not a scam.  So what's the problem?  Well, to be accepted you need to submit your 10 best photos.  What they don't tell you up front is that even if more than three of those are not approved they suspend your account for a whole month!

    Oh and you also have to submit your photoID and signature.

  • PRODUCT REVIEW: water4gas system

    What is misnomer.  It’s Water PLUS Gas.  Seems questionable.

    http://w4gexpert.com/ (not my link)

    Add some water to your gas and you can increase your mileage or save on gas.

    This one seems to work, but it is not for everyone.  You have to build it yourself, install it yourself (or get someone to do it) from various parts. All they provide you with are the books that explain how it works and how to put it together.

    But... apparently now you can buy a kit from them for $295, but still you need to have someone install it if you can't yourself.

    Here is another reviewer's link: http://www.auto-facts.org/water4gas-scam.html

    I myself am not interested in this one as right now I have no car. Maybe in another couple of months. Use this link if you decide to join: http://w4gexpert.com/ (and if you own a car, and if you wish to increase your mileage or save on gas).  Am not sure what the warranty implications are on new cars. Up to you to investigate that.

June 30th (Monday)

  • Dang! Am feeling even better today than yesterday! And that means less naps!  Or does it? Haha!
     
  • ASPIRIN: Ok staff, we have to find new ways to make more money with this one old and faded product.

    So far folks have been taking it for headaches.  Then we introduced the notion into the public's mind that an aspirin a day may keep heart attacks away.

    Let me suggest that we expand our horizons and make the public aware that it can now be taken for  backaches.  In fact, let's say for any kind of muscle aches.

    Ok and how about muscle cramps?  What? We don't have any research on that one?  Don't worry.  They won't ask. We'll just drill that notion into their heads with the same commercial being played over and over and over during the course of a program they will be watching.

    Now let's address sharp, needle-like stabbing pains in the feet and sometimes in the hands.  Especially the left.  What's the answer? ASPIRIN!

    Now let's not stop there folks!  Come on!  Let's have some more ideas.

    Tell you what, let's make a list of body related symptoms that folks are concerned about and the ideas should start really flowing!

    - flatulence -- hmmm.... should work
    - obesity -- that one can be milked for months on end and if it does not work for them we can point to their diets and slow grazing habits
    - schizophrenia - too controversial, let's stay away from the diseases
    - a pain in the butt - good one! That should work nicely, since there are a lot of those around
    - a pain in the neck - now you're talking! We're on a roll.

    And now I'll take some suggestions/ideas from my readers. Only funny suggestions will be accepted.

  • Self and Other
    by Alan Watts

       Now, the subject of this seminar is 'Self and Other,' and this is therefore to be an exploration into the subject that interests me most, which is the problem of personal identity, man's relationship to the universe, and all the things that are connected with that. It is, for our culture at this time in history an extremely urgent problem, because of our technological power. In known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way.

    I think sometimes that the two symbols of our present kind of technological culture are the rocket ship and the bulldozer. The rocket as a very, very phallic symbol of compensation for the sexually inadequate male. And the bulldozer, which ruthlessly pushes down hills and forests and alters the shape of the landscape. These are two symbols of the negative aspect of our technology. I'm not going to take the position that technology is a mistake. I think that there could be a new kind of technology, using a new attitude. But the trouble is that a great deal of our power is wielded by men who I would call 'two o'clock types.'

    Maybe you saw an article I wrote in "Playboy" magazine called "The Circle of Sex," and it suggested at least a dozen sexual types rather than two. And that the men who are two o'clock on the dial, like a clock, are men who are ambisexterous, named after Julius Ceasar, because Julius Ceasar was an ambisexterous man, and he equally made love to all his friend's wives and to his good-looking officers. And he had no sense of guilt about this at all. Now, that type of male in this culture has a terrible sense of guilt, that he might be homosexual, and is scared to death of being one, and therefore he has to overcompensate for his masculinity. And so he comes on as a police officer, Marine sergeant, bouncer, bookie, general--tough, cigar-chewing, real masculine type who is never able to form a relationship with a woman; they're just 'dames' as far as he's concerned. But he, just like an ace Air Force pilot puts a little mark on his plane each time he shoots down an enemy, so this kind of man, every time he makes a dame he chalks up one, because that reassures him that he is after all a male. And he's a terrible nuisance. The trouble is that the culture doesn't permit him to recognize and accept his ambisexterity. And so he's a trouble spot.

    But that kind of spirit of knocking the world around is something that is causing serious danger here. It arises, you see, because this tremendous technological power has been evolved in a culture which inherits a sense of personality which is frankly a hallucination. And we get this sense of personality from a long, long tradition of Jewish and Christian and Greek ideas which have caused man to feel that the universe of nature - the physical world, in other words - is not himself. You may think that that is a very odd thing to say, because one always assumes that oneself is one's own body, or at least something inside one's body, like a soul. And that naturally, everything outside is not oneself. But this is, as I've said many, many times, a hallucination. Let's think, here we are in the middle of New York City. And you know what happens when New York City goes wrong. When there's a subway strike, or when the power fails, or when the sewers back up, your life is in danger. Because you are not only constituted by the bloodstream of your veins and the communications network of your nervous system. An extension of your bloodstream, and of your alimentary canal, and of your nervous system, is all the communication systems of this city.

  • The Essential Alan Watts: Work as Play.  This is a very interesting section of the book. It will put you into a whole new disposition, if you let it.  I did a brief search and found this Google Video on that section of the book, performed by Alan Watts himself.

    For those of you with slower connections the larger video is split up into three segments at youtube.com.  Simply go there and enter the following into the Search Box: essential alan watts work as play
     
  • Am still doing a LOT of sleeping and napping, but am starting to recover.  Am able to hold down bananas, tomatoes, carrots.

  • PROGRAMME REVIEW: itsmyfranchise.com

    This is one of the franchises of The Home Business Portal.

    They are or were selling safelists to their franchisees. And according to at east one person none of them send out any e-mails. Well that was last year.  By the way, Safelists don’t really work, as most folks just set up their folders in such a way as to just delete incoming e-mails.

    I don't know about this year, but I would not join a program that failed it's members many times over the years.

    So I would avoid this one.

  • Still a weak day for me. But, I do like the frequent naps.  One every couple of hours.
     
  • This one is very interesting.  The paintings are just exquisite. Sent to me by Ivan.  It’s funny, Ivan has also been having the same symptoms the last three days as I.

  • Sorry folks, have not felt well the last two days so I took a mini-vacation. I will have something for you tonight or tomorrow.
     
  • K. Russo just sent out this review:

    GORILLA MILLIONS

    Looks a lot like LawnChairMillionaire, one of the most deceptive
    program I have ever seen. When I received a spam invitation to join
    this one the subject said - "NEWEST PROGRAM! Just seconds
    ago". That is very interesting because at the site it indicates that over
    33000 folks have already joined. How deceptive is that?!

    js: the other one he mentions is WorldPassive/Dollars Monster which I believe is already dead. Cycle time is at 9 days and I doubt there is much interest in it.

  • It’s about a mad world.  Ivan sent this to me.  I have enjoyed it. So will you.

  • It’s about the Robert Kuntz scam, re Web 2.0.  I just got this from a reader of mine:

    “I just received 1539 junk e-mails from Robert Kuntz
    announcing his web2upgrade. This is the second group of
    spammed mass e-mails from him.”  AVOID.
     
  • I just sent out an ALERT (224) detailing what I posted yesterday about WorldPassive/DollarMonster. News: They even reneged on paying me my $50 entry, after having said they would. So I have a loss of about $178 as that cycled twice (plus commissions).  I hope they enjoy the candy they will buy with that.
     
  • After I posted about WorldPassive cheating me (closing my account based on one solitary email to a private reader) they issued the announcement below (partial), in an attempt to keep the money flowing in:

    “> Earn EVEN MORE with DollarMonster - a Pay Raise!
    >
    > That's right, all DollarMonster Members just got a
    > pay raise - we had to adjust the compensation plan due
    > to the new daily maximum spend of $50 per members.
    > Log in to your World Passive Member Area and click on
    > "DollarMonster" to review your current status!
    >
    > http://members.worldpassive.com/login.php
    >
    >
    > Be Promoted to the Silver Level with only $500 of spends!
    >
    > Now DollarMonster Members can be promoted to the Silver
    > Membership Level for only $500 of spends - the spends
    > we're talking about include those of all your referrals!
    >
    > So if you want to get a 200% return on your spend instead
    > of only $175, like entry-level participants get, then
    > simply increase the volume of your spends (and/or those
    > of your referrals) to just $500 - that's not much, right?


    Do NOT buy into that!  They are toast! Done!  You will only lose your money.

  • UPDATE: WorldPassive Cycler (DollarMonster)

    Looks like a reader of mine ratted me out. I simply made a one line statement, and here it is: "Actually, new developments.  Avoid DollarMonster, am about to publish that in my blog. So if your fifty cycles? Get it out and stay out." And looks like my "friend" sent that in to support. So they canceled my account and my payout of two cycles. Here are the details: (well am not sure who it was, but someone did and I don’t blame anyone in particular)

    I originally bought a $50 position, that cycled, and then I put all of that back in and that cycled too. Then I made w/d request.

    Guess what?

    I just received an email saying they had shut down my account and are giving me my original $50 back.  Why?  I was in violation of their agreement. It says basically I would not do anything to harm their programme. Well, I did not. Check my blog. (I merely made one comment to a reader of mine that sent that in to support!  Not as if I posted this all over the Internet! But now I have.  And so should you!)

    But, I did mention to one reader, in a private e-mail that I would not put any more money in that one as I thought it was about to fold (as most cyclers do, and this one did twice or thrice before). I guess that reader sent that one in to support.

    So I replied to support and basically said they had better pay my cycled positions or I will make this into a story. And here the story is!

    They have done the wrong thing.  I have not said anything negative in my blog about their latest scheme. And now I am.  They gave me the opportunity. It's not about the fifty bucks.  I could care less. But that kind of treatment?  Say anything negative about them and your account will be shut down? Sounds like desperation and totalitarianism. Sounds like a scam.  Sounds like a poor decision by some flunky support person.

    And scam it is!  Spread the word.  Spread this word far and wide so you cannot get cheated ever again by these three time failure goons!  I sure am!


    js

    By the way: there was no real harm done by my post up above. Why? Because they were pretty nearly dead already.  Too few members, not enough money, and they failed three times before.  Plus it is summer.  The absolute WRONG time to launch an opp such as this!  Stupid or what? Stupid mostly. At this point I will not even likely get my fifty bucks back! But am laughing all the way! NOt at you.  But with them! We’re all just having fun here, right? Until the next memory-wipe!
     
  • I was talking with Ivan via Skype and an interesting thing happened. He mentioned that "person" came from the French: personna.  A mask. And that brought to my mind that a "person", in the USA, Canada, and Britain, is.... a mask.  A mask for what?  A "person" is a mask for a Corporation, because that is the Law.  Admiralty Law.  Of trade and commerce.  Property of the State.  So when your name is spelled in ALL CAPS you are agreeing (entering into a silent agreement) that you are responsible for all the taxes for that "person" or personna, or mask, or Corporation.


    Do you understand?

    Given the above.... here is more proof:

    Ok, remember my talking to you about your name all being spelled IN CAPS?  One of my readers finally found a youtube video of the guy tha
