Lockerz, Lockerz.com Launches Soon

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 9:02 am

Just these last few days I have had over 130 emails from readers asking me to do a quick profile on the new site called Lockerz, which is located at Lockerz.com. Although there is not too much information on the web just yet about this seemingly promising new incentive based internet portal, I could uncover a little bit of information.

Lockerz Invites:
I have had a ton of people contact me for an invite. If you want an Invite, simply email us at edbri871@gmail.com and we will have one sent to you within a couple hours time max.

What will Lockerz be?
To me it seems as though Lockerz will be a portal of sorts, where members log in to access all kinds of neat and interesting features. From Listening to the latest music, to playing games online with one another, to review and then buying products for discounts, Lockerz will give incentives to all their members. Here is a brief explanation of the program from the team at Lockerz.com:

Lockerz is the place to go to buy the coolest stuff at the lowest prices, watch exclusive video, discover new music, play the hottest games, hang out with your friends – and get rewarded for just about EVERYTHING you do on the site.

Our mission is to be your daily habit, not a site for your parents or grandparents looking for their long-lost friends from Kindergarten.

One other thing you’ll love about Lockerz are PTZ (or “Pointz”). PTZ are Lockerz’ proprietary loyalty “currency” that you earn whenever you buy, watch, play, share, invite friends, or even just show up on Lockerz. Redeem PTZ at the PTZ Place for incredible prizes, great products and dream experiences.

Too Good to Be True? Why are we doing this? To thank you for joining early. To build a Lockerz community of cool, stylish, cutting-edge people who love to buy great brands. To give you a taste of how PTZ will work when we go live this fall. And to test out different prizes and PTZ levels. Thatâ€™s key. This version of PTZ Place is a test. PTZ levels will change when the full Lockerz site launches.

Lockerz is set to launch sometime in the Fall 09. Members who sign up now will get to explore and help shape the site before the launch. We hope you’ll join us.

More Information on the Program itself as well as where to find Invitational codes:
- Lockerz Forum at MoneyMakerGroup.com
- Lockerz.com Discussed at Talkgold

My Personal Opinion
I liek giving my personal opinion on these things because I do have a lot of experience in the internet promotion areas. I personally think that if they offer a good incentives program for referral other members, perhaps in a multi level format, Lockerz good take off. We are already seeing a huge number of people signing up, yet the majority have no clue what the program will be about. That’s usually a good sign of at least a strong promotional start.

Autosurfs

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:27 am

Usually we write about things our readers are interested in. Well, over the last 2-3 weeks we have received a ton of questions about what online Autosurfs are and if they are a legitimate way to make money on the internet. Well we actually had some experience ourselves in the autosurf market, and with the addition of a little research into the area, we have come up with a short but informative guide to the new trend.

What Are Autosurfs?
An Autosurf is basically a site which allows you to surf other websites in order to earn credit as well as cash. They are called “auto” because you can set it and forget it. You do not have to manually surf through each site. Just leave the site open and the script with surf for you. Most program offer you a percentage of your money back (that you spent on advertising) each day for participating in the program.

Are Autosurfs Legitimate Money Makers?
This is a tough question. Most Autosurfs seem to be built on a Ponzi scheme structure, although it is nearly impossible to know which are and which are not. Having said this, money still can be made, whether the program is a ponzi scheme or not. You just have to decide for yourself if it is morally correct to participate in a program that may be build in a pyramid structure. I have talked to people who have earned thousands of dollars in just a month by investing and referring others into programs. There is plenty of money to be made, however, if you are not careful you can lose the money just as easily, or easier, if it turns out that you investing into a scam, or a dying ponzi scheme.

Where to Find More Information?
There are a few good forums out there just for discussing Autosurfs. Remember that many of the people in these forums have incentive to promote each particular program. Always make your own decisions, and never take anyones word as fact. Here are some forum links:
– Money Maker Groups Autosurf Forum
- Talkgold’s Autosurf Forum

Conclusion about Autosurfs
Be very careful. Never invest more money than you can afford to lose. Look at Autosurfs as more of a gamble than an actual investment, because that’s just what they are. Do your research on each company, and try not to stay in any one program too long. Try and get your initial deposit out as soon as possible, and than start reinvesting with profits only.

The Trump Network – Trumpnetwork

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 1:44 pm

Usually I ignore Multi Level Marketing programs because they end up being part scheme, part business opportunity. Having said this, I was recently told about The Trump Network located at TrumpNetwork.com. What immediately made me take note of this program was the fact that Donald Trump is actually involved in it. Because of this and the fact that I have had numerous inquiries about the MLM I decided to put together a Informative post with everything you need to know about The Trump Network in one spot:

Related TrumpNetwork Links:
TrumpNetwork Forum
The Trump Network Discussion

What Exactly is The Trump Network?
Although we still don’t have the entire details of this multi-level marketing program, we do know quite a bit. The program will go into pre-launch mode sometime in June of 2009. It will remain in pre-launch mode for at least 4-5 months and finally launch in October of 2009. It is fully backed by Donald J. Trump himself, the real estate mogul, reality TV star, and billionaire himself. This venture will incorporate the company that Donald Trump partnered with in March of this year called Ideal Health. They have agreed to rename Ideal Health “The Trump Network”, and move forward with a multi level marketing setup by Fall. Ideal health is a unique vitamin shop which customizes vitamins for each of it’s clients. It does this by giving each client a metabolic test to determine which vitamins and minerals are lacking in their body. I’ve personally read a lot about this company and the product/service they offer, and walked away pretty impressed. Here is a quote from the Ideal Health website overviewing what the company is all about:

Ideal Health is the only company in America that puts the power to regain nutritional balance and restore metabolic health back in your hands. We are the only company where a team of PhDs and other health experts looks at specific metabolic markers in urine, saliva, or blood spot sample, and then utilizes a database of over 100,000 patients and over 30,000 scientific nutrition studies from top research institutions to develop unique customized formulas for baseline nutrition and other health concerns.

Nothing stands still. Everything in the physical world is in a state of constant change. In terms of your health, this means that at every moment in time, your body is either moving toward health, or away from it. If your body is experiencing a metabolic problem caused by nutrition, the longer you wait to address it, the more serious it can become.

Ideal Health can put your mind at rest. Our uniquely affordable metabolic tests can point out where problems may exist, and our targeted nutritional supplements can help turn your body back toward health and keep it there. Remember: every day you wait may be compounding a problem you could be solving.

Here is also some basic information on the Company itself:
The Trump Network
12 Kent Way
Byfield Massachusetts 01922
Phone: 800.768.7667
Fax: 978.499.7664

Owners and/or Executives and Executive Consultants
- Donald Trump
- Tod Stanwood, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder
- Lou DeCaprio, President and Co-Founder
- Scott Stanwood, Vice President of Communications, Co-Founder

Significance of a Trump Endorsement
Clearly a man like Donald Trump does not associate his name with things he does not feel strongly about. The very fact that he is all over this MLM’s marketing campaign at such an early stage shows me that he is extremely confident in it’s success, as well as it’s product. This also will give a tremendous amount of credibility to the Multi Level Marketing Industry in general, which has been clearly hurt by the various schemes and scams that have scared away so many people. If Trumps Network is a success, it will be huge. On the other hand, if it flops, Donalds reputation could take quite a severe hit.

My Opinion on Trump Network
It’s hard to give a fair opinion on the TrumpNetwork, since it is not even in it’s prelaunch mode yet. Having said this I do think this will become a major player in the MLM world. Donald Trump is a household name, when you hear “Trump” you immediately think of “money”. In fact “trump” has actually become a verb in the English language. With his marketing power, his know how, and a product that I believe is unique and innovative, this MLM just may become a household name in itself. As more information is made available, I will add to this fact sheet, and make sure you all stay up to date about the Trump MLM, as it is being called.

Vinefire Scam

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:40 am

I have had over a dozen emails in the last week about VineFire. I would like to start out by saying it took me about 15 seconds to go to this site and figure out that VineFire is a scam. Before you get sucked into this scam I would like to go over in details why this site is dishonest, and can not work. Anyone with a good understanding of finances and math would agree with me in an instant.

Resources
VineFire Forum
VineFire Talk

VineFire Overview
The Program launched only about a month ago. On the outside it looks like a Reddit clone, but under it’s outer skin, is the making of a major scam. Like Reddit and Digg, you can post links and rate other links. The site is extremely simplified and doesn’t really have many features at all. If it wasn’t for their earning promises, there would really be no point in using the site since it’s just a collection of spammy links, that people click on thinking they will be paid.

VineFire Payout Promises:
Unlike Digg, and Reddit, Vinefire makes staggering claims about how much money they will pay per action. Here is a run down of all the ways they claim you will earn from using their service:

Just Sign up and Get $50 Cash
Add a Link Every 30 Seconds, and earn 12 Cents Each
Click on a Link and earn 45 Cents Each
Click a Featured link and earn 50 Cents each
Refer friends to Vinefire and earn 50% of their Earnings

The Maximum amount of money one can earn from Vinefire in any given day is $50.00. You can increase your daily limit to $100 per day if you pay a one time fee of only $5.

Why VineFire is a Scam

- The Math Doesn’t add up:
Yesterday VineFire was ranked in Alexa #3100. According to our estimations, by looking at sites we own and comparing traffic data, that equates to at the very least 30,000 unique visits per day. Now if none of them upgraded, and they all only earn half of the limit whish is $25 per day from clicking and submitting links, referring friends and signing up, that means Vinefire will owe its members on a daily basis $25 X 30,000 = $750,000. Hmm, interesting huh? They must make a ton of money with all that traffic, so can easily pay off that small sum of $750,000 a day, right? Wrong! Not even close. Their only means of revenue is from selling “starred” listings at a one time fee of $10. They also sell upgraded memberships for $5. Now what if all 30,000 members both upgraded their account and purchased the right to add stars next to their Vinefire links? That’s $15 X 30,000 or a one time fee totaling $450,000.

-Will not Pay out till January 2010:
So they claim, they won’t be paying out anything until Jan 2010. That is exactly 235 days away. Since they have an estimated outstanding expense of $750,000 per day, according to the math above, that means by January 1st they will owe over $176,250,000. This is all with revenues of only $450,000 at very best. Clearly, not even close to being a profitable business, unless of course they never pay anyone a dime.

How Will VineFire Owners benefit from the scam?
As we figured out above, They may take in approximately $450,000 from Upgraded members and purchased “star” upgrades. This is all profit besides their cheap server costs if they do decide to run off come January, which I am 100% certain they will. In addition they are likely making a small amount of money via the affiliate links they use for “featured links”.

AffordableAffiliates

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:46 am

I am subscribed to all the latest trend websites, and have people email me with the latest and greatest new websites to hit the internet world. Well, Today my inbox was buzzing about this new Program called AffordableAffiliates. The site can be accessed at:AffordableAffiliates.com

First I will explain how this new Investment program/affiliate program hybrid works, then go over some of the pros and cons of such a program like AffordableAffiliates.. Simply you invest with them an amount between $100, and $500, currently via paypal. They then use this money to purchase antiques, collectibles and other products which they resell on ebay for much much more. This is then how the profits of this resale are split:

How AffordableAffiliates Pays You:
We buy an Item for $10.00 and sell it for $100.00 .
Your initial $10.00 + 10% of the $90 profit is returned to your account for re-investment ($19).
10% or the profit is added to your monthly payout ($9).
5% of the profit is sent to your designated charity ($4.50).
5% of the profit goes to the person who referred you to AffordableAffiliates Network ($4.50).

The Graphic Below is for those who understand better via pictures:

Related Links about Affordable Affiliates:
- AffordableAffiliates Forum at MoneyMakerGroup
- AffordableAffiliates Forum at Talkgold

The program is run by several well known internet marketers. Here is a list of a few of them:

AffordableAffiliates Staff:
Chris Bell – President / CEO
Samantha Migneault – Vice President / CFO
Cody Halovich – VP Technical Operations
David Cheyne – Director of Marketing
Ted Walther – System Architect
Rob Lind – Director of Aboriginal Affiliates
Laura Corby – Director of Autism Affiliates

Some Problem I can foresee in the Future:
- Paypal - We all know paypal is very strict in what they do and do not allow. Since this is an unregistered Investment program, it is possible, if not likely that Paypal will suspend their account. Thus Affordable Affiliates will have to look into accepting alternate means of payment such as possibly Liberty Reserve and Alertpay.

- What works on a small scale may not work on a large scale – Just because they may be able to make massive profits buy and selling products with several thousand dollars, does not mean this strategy can be expanded indefinitely. Will they be able to succeed in using the same strategy to make 10 or 100 times the profit as they were before? Only the AffordableAffiliates team knows this for sure.

- Legalities – Since this is not a registered investment, there may be future legal issues unless they are licensed offshore. I could not find anything on the website saying just where the company is registered.

Conclusion about AffordableAffiliates:
As with any internet investment program, I urge extreme caution. If you have $100 – $500 to investment, that you can afford to do without, then consider this program. If on the other hand you do not have money to just throw away, reconsider investing into an internet program that is not governed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Look at it as a gamble in Vegas. There is also the possibility that AffordableAffiliates is just one big ponzi scam. You never know with this internet stuff.

RevolutionaryMatrix – Revolutionary Matrix

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 4:46 pm

RevolutionaryMatrix is a Matrix program we have been getting a ton of questions about. Although we try and stay away from Matrix programs because of their known short comings, We do feel that RevolutionaryMatrix is a step above most the other programs we often hear about. First and foremost it is run by one of GDI’s top affiliates, a man known int he industry for his amazing marketing skills, James Al-Oboudi.

James Claims that he was ranked number 2 in the world for most sponsors in Global Domain International. He claimed to achieve this amazing success without spending a single penny on marketing. The guy certainly builds himself up to be some marketing genius, and although we can and do not vouch for people, we have done some research, and his skills certainly will put most online marketers to shame.

So, How do Revolutionary Matrix (also referred to as RevolutionaryMatris) work exactly?

It only will cost you a one time $10 fee to join the Matrix. For this fee you will get a vast library of marketing products, well worth your money, in our humble opinions. Now, how will RevolutionaryMatrix make you the money you are seeking? Simple. It is set up in a 5X6 forced matrix, which will pay RevolutionaryMatrix members in the following way:

RevolutionaryMatrix payout

The great thing about matrix’s such, and sort of makes this one a Revolutionary money maker is that there is spillover from your upline. This means that even if you don’t refer a sole to the program, as long as the people in your upline do, you will make quite a good amount of cash. RevolutionaryMatrix only accepts Alertpay for the time being, which is good since Alertpay is a reliable company that a good number of internet marketers already use. If you are interested in this program, then feel free to check them out. So, what are people saying about this program at the forums? As you know before signing up to any Matrix program or risky investment program, we highly recommend doing your own little investigation at the forums. Below are two links to forum posts that seem the most active for Revolutionary Matrix.
- RevolutionaryMatrix Forum
- MMG Revolutionary Matrix Forum

It may be worth the $10.00 fee: RevolutionaryMatrix Registration . If you have any info, testimonials, or problems with this program, then please, leave a comment below in the blog comment area, and we will be sure to include it in the discussion here.

What is Anti Monkey Butt Powder ?

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 6:25 pm

When I first heard this term while at the local Rite-aid while buying some cold medicine for my 3 year old son, I though. “Anti monkey butt powder, this is a joke right?” Well guess what it was no joke when a 50 year old biker looking guy next to me asked the manager of the store if they had this anti monkey butt powder.

So what is this Powder all about? It’s for motorcyclers. When you are driving on a motorcycle for hundreds of miles, at a time, your butt gets sweaty and irritated from all the constant rubbing. This can be extremely painful from what I am told. The Anti Monkey Butt Powder will absorb the sweat leaving your butt nice and dry and unirritated. The following is directly from the bottle fof this uniquely named product:
“Anti Monkey Butt Powder is specially formulated to absorb excess sweat and reduce frictional skin irritation.

Ideal for butt busting activities such as truck driving, motorcycling, bicycling, horse back riding, and extreme sports. May also be applied inside footwear, under sports pads, and other areas prone to chafing.”
