(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/bbSq1) I would like to show you an easy way to use the cry me a river Jazz lick over a ii V7 I chord progression. There are many ways to incorporate the cry me a river lick into your Jazz solos, but this is one of the first ways I learned how to do so and I've been using this technique ever since.
Here is a sound sample on F blues progression with trumpet:
How to memorize the cry me a river lick in 12 keys:
For this ii V7 I Jazz lick, the only important chords are the V7 going to the I chord. All you have to know is you are starting on the flat third of whatever chord the V7 chord is. In the above example, F natural is the b3 of the D7 chord. You can play whatever your heart desires on the ii chord. After you play the cry me a river Jazz lick, your goal is to land on either the 3rd or 5th chord tone of the tonic chord.
As far as memorizing the cry me a river lick, for me this Jazz lick was memorized easiest by feel. This is because it usually goes by pretty fast and it's a little bit easier to memorize in some keys better than others.
(My Original Blog Post: http://www.signupandmakemoney.com/blog/2009/12/best-ways-promote-advertise-global-npn-referral-link-free-online/) I initially decided to write this blog post to help my Global NPN matrix members brainstorm on ways to get their Global NPN referral link out on the web so they can start getting sign ups. Remember, with Global NPN, you will only need to refer 2 other paid members in order for the membership to be free if you are at the PRO level. I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm also not saying it's going to happen by itself. You need to make the effort or else you'll never sign anyone up.
These are not the only ways to promote Global NPN, because there are too many to mention. The number one question I get from new Global NPN sign ups is, "How do I get started?" This is why I am dispensing this information to you, whether you are in my matrix or not, this information will help you get the 2 needed paid sign ups to make all the advertising tools free and to produce a nice monthly residual income online with Global NPN.
When you first start off, you might tell your friends and family, but you'll run out of prospects real quick if that's all you do. This is why I like Global NPN so much, you can promote and advertise the business entirely online without ever actually having to talk to a single soul about signing up.
Safelists are yet another free way to promote your Global NPN referral link. There are currently 3 e-mail ads in your Global NPN back office you can use for these Safelists, or you can simply make your own.
Write blog posts and articles about Global NPN
Basically what I'm doing right now. Believe it or not, this blog post I'm writing is going to get thousands of hits during its lifetime from search engine traffic and definitely is not a waste of time in my opinion, plus I'm helping others at the same time. If you have a blog, great, if not, then the two blog platforms to choose from are Blogger and Wordpress.
Take advantage of Global NPN eCertificates
Global NPN's eCertificates are the best way to get sign ups because you get 50% of the eCertificate back every time a referral uses one. So you buy one at $10.75. Someone signs up for the 30 day free trial with Global NPN and you get $5.00 back. So it's basically like you're paying $5.00 a sign up. If that member stays on for one more month, you now have gotten your entire eCertificate back and it cost you nothing. If that Global NPN member stays on after that, it's all profit from then on out. This is why it's most important to help the people you refer succeed with Global NPN so that they keep the membership for years to come.
Also, if you offer the 30 day free trial, this shows your prospects that you are very serious about Global NPN being the best business opportunity out there today and that you are willing to take a risk at your own expense because you know that after they have a free trial, it will make sense and they will keep the membership.
Make a video about Global NPN
Making a quick video of yourself explaining how Global NPN has made you money online or why it makes sense to you will dramatically influence others on why they would want to join themselves. Plus it is a way for the undecided referral to connect with you on a different level. The video doesn't have to be fancy and you can upload it to YouTube or another video network. See one of my Global NPN videos below:
Use the Global NPN url rotator to your advantage
Everyone that joins Global NPN directly under me is inserted into a Global NPN URL rotator and promoted at the main sign up bonus page. This is an extra incentive for joining through me. I don't have to do this, but I want to help my matrix members any way I can. After I see two referrals under them, I remove them from the rotator so others can benefit.
After you get paid by Global NPN, show your proof of payment
It won't take you long to get paid by Global NPN since you only have to earn $20.00 in commissions in order to get paid automatically on the 10th of the month. See a proof of payment I received from Global NPN.
Add Global NPN to your social network and forum profiles
What do I mean by this? Well every social network allows you to put a website as part of your profile. The social networks you should be building are Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in my opinion. Don't ever try to promote Global NPN directly on these networks, but instead just do you normal every day things and have your Global NPN link or image link in your profile or forum signature.
Add your Global NPN to the bottom of your e-mails
Think about how many e-mails you send out every day. If you put a simple e-mail signature at the bottom with your Global NPN referral link on it, this will get you traffic to your site.
Use the advertising tools that the Global NPN membership provides
You got an e-mail blaster that you can use to promote Global NPN with. You got url trackers to see how many hits you're really getting at the traffic exchanges and safelists. Global NPN also offer plenty of solo ad resources and other ad resources in your back office. The autoresponder is for other businesses you're currently promoting. All the sign ups you get through your capture pages are already put in an autoresponder for you. So that's taken care of already. So Global NPN offers a lot of great ways to advertise your referral link online.
Like I said, these are free ways to promote your Global NPN referral link. If you feel like you're ready to take it to the next level and have Global NPN residual income coming in, then I would start paying for advertising to build you business even faster.
A member of Signupandmakemoney introduced a new sign up bonus site called Cash Pirate. I would like to thank Brenda for her contribution to this sign up bonus site. Because of her generous contribution, her Cash Pirate affiliate link is used in this post and at the main sign up bonus list. You can join Cash Pirate for free and get a 50 cent sign up bonus.
There really isn't much to Cash Pirate, it's pretty similar to most get paid to sites I've seen. Cash Pirate is in a class of it's own as far as looks go. I really like how they designed the site. It looks really professional. I signed up on the program to give it a test drive. They have an active forum which is always a good thing so you know where to go if you need help with something beside just contacting admin.
Cash Pirate has kind of a strict sign up process though. You have to verify your phone number in order to get paid. Another thing I don't like is that they are selling referrals. I highly recommend not taking advantage of this. You have to realize that most referrals by nature are duds to begin with. There is no need to upgrade your account with them unless you've seriously done your due diligence.
You only need to make $5.00 in paid offers with Cash Pirate in order to receive your first payment. Like I said before, you'll have to verify your phone number. I think this is fair enough since you get the 50 cent sign up bonus, you might as well make sure to verify your account. Their are a whole lot of scammers out there scamming the affiliate programs, trust me, I know!
There's a whole lot more I could say about Cash Pirate, but I'm going to leave it up to you to see if they are a site worth joining or not. Make sure to take a look at more free get paid to sign up bonus sites to join and let me know what you think.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/9Te7c) I wanted to share this smokin Jazz trumpet solo of Tom Harrell with the Phil Woods Quintet. When I was watching this Jazz video I noticed how Tom Harrell rests his fingers over his trumpet valves. I'm wondering if this helps his technique overall on the trumpet. According to how he sounds in the Jazz clip I'm going to have to say that it helps him quite a bit.
This great recording of Tom Harrell took place in Hamburg of 1988. I have one problem though, I'm not sure what the name of the tune is. If anyone could help me out on this it would be greatly appreciated.
(My Original Blog Post: http://mywebmastertips.com/social-media-internet-marketing-goals-when-bored/) As an internet marketer, let's face it, you always got to be putting yourself out there in order to be seen online. One of the best ways to do this is to take advantage of all the great social media sites out there by simply continuing your efforts to grow your social networks and keep interaction with your social networks.
By doing what any member of a social media site would do, naturally commenting and replying to comments, will get your where you want to be online. Of course you're not selling anything except for having your main site in your social media profile. That's it, everything else is natural commenting and interaction to get free traffic to your profile, which in turn will get free traffic to your main site or business.
It's not rocket science by any means, but it does take a good amount of time and effort on your part. This is why I recommend taking advantage of such social media tasks when you're bored. Why not? You don't have to be 100% focused when doing such a thing. You could be watching TV or listening to some music while keeping interaction going in your social networks. Am I right about this or what?
Alright, let's get straight to the point on some goals you can try to reach while you're in that state of boredom. A good note to take here is that moderation is always the key to success. This is why I recommend limiting to your efforts to 5 at a time. You can do more a day, but 5 things per social network is actually quite a bit of work if you are legitimately commenting and making friends online.
Here we go!
Make 5 new Facebook friend requests
Go through your Facebook friend's friends and see who else you know. If you don't know them all too well, make sure to leave a quick message in your initial friend request to help break the ice. Things like, "I'm a friend of so and so and we both like music." Doesn't have to be complex. Go to your news feed as soon as you log in and reply a couple comments as well.
Comment on 5 videos and request friends with 5 people on Youtube
This doesn't take very much time and it's always a whole lot of fun to watch neat videos at Youtube. I can almost guarantee you that every person that accepts you as a friend will check out your profile. This will get traffic to your videos, which will then hopefully lead them to your website.
Follow 5 people on Twitter
Go through people you're already following and see other Twitter profiles that have the same niche as you. Become a follower, then you will get exposure to your site. I don't like using programs and scripts to build my Twitter network, instead, I prefer to do it the old fashion way.
Comment on 5 blogs in your niche
Simply do a Google search and find similar blogs to yours and submit natural comments and actually take the time to really find out what the blogger is writing about. Make sure to only comment on blogs that take a name and url so you can always get a link back to your site as well as most likely having the owner of that blog definitely take a look at your site. You know they will too, blog owners don't want to link to bad sites, so they will take a quick look at your site. I know I do.
Do 5 forum posts or replies
If you're not already a member of some forums, you definitely should be. Forums have always been a good way to get traffic and links back to your sites. Just make sure you fill out a simple signature in your forum's profile area for everyone you're a part of. Then just naturally reply to people's posts and people will see your site, you will get traffic from this. You'll at least get a hit from the person that started the topic in the first place. Starting your own unique topic will get you even more traffic.
Do 1 blog post for the day
Constantly getting unique content out on the world wide web will always give you free targeted search engine traffic. I try and make it a goal to do at least one blog post a day because I know over time every one of these blog posts are getting me visitors to my sites and at the same time I'm helping people find information on the web.
I know that was a lot of information. Now, I mentioned doing these things when you're bored online. Now imagined if you made these things a daily endeavor. Think about how much traffic this would generate, over time, to your main website(s).
Well, let's take a look, shall we?
With 365 days in a year, you'll end up with results similar to these:
365 unique blog posts and pages to your site.
1,825 forum posts and replies, your link will be on all of these.
1,825 blog comments on other peoples sites, your link will be on theirs.
About 1,825 new Twitter followers, if they follow you back.
1,825 comments on Youtube with link to your profile plus the friends.
About 1,825 new friends on Facebook.
I know it is almost impossible to accomplish these kinds of results in our busy lives, but a little bit everyday can and will add up. I don't waste my time with smaller social networks either. In my mind, the 3 social networks you should put your time and effort into building are Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter. I see the most potential with these 3.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/qSRBP) I was checking my e-mail today and saw a Paypal notification of payment received. I, like always, get thrilled to see that I am getting paid for my efforts online. Today the commission I received was from Gomez, Inc. To be honest with you, I didn't earn my commissions just for leaving my computer on, but instead I got my payment proof thanks to referring a couple other free members to Gomez. Right now they are giving $1.00 referral bonuses to their affiliates. This is a pretty hefty referral fee if you ask me, since it's free and all.
I had the Gomez Peer software installed on my old computer. Now that they paid me, I figured it would be a good idea to install it on my current computer. So I did that, took me less than 5 minutes to set up.
Gomez is free to join, easy to make money with, and is now proven "to me" anyway that they really do pay their members. I know I haven't made a whole lot of money with Gomez Peer, but I also haven't done much with their program. Now I am going to use the software and make sure you guys all know about this free opportunity online.

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/rWEJM) I've been seeing the promotion of GJobs Data Service being promoted recently on the web and decided to take a quick look at it because the Safelist ads claimed that they offer a $5.00 sign up bonus for joining. If you look at their main home page, you won't see the sign up bonus advertised. This is unusual to me. Why even offer a sign up bonus if you're not going to promote it? If you click on the "Join Now" button, you'll see the $5.00 sign up bonus promotion.
Anyway, I'm writing this post to warn you that GJobs Data Service doesn't look too stable in my opinion. How can they claim to offer 5 cents per click to their affiliates? Boy are they in for some trouble. I tried doing that with my affiliate program and affiliates put their referral links in all kinds of scripted rotators and such. I had one idiot earn over $80.00 in one day because he simply put his affiliate link in a frame that would open up every time another site would open up. My point is, GJobs Data Service will be out of business in no time if this is the case. Or they will be deleting a whole lot of abusive affiliates.
Another thing that really bothers me about GJobs Data Service is that their website looks like a kid designed it yet they claim to have been in business since 1999. You're telling me 10 years have passed and you don't even know how to put padding between your text and css backgrounds?
Take a good look at their earner's recent checks as well in the side bar. $2,000 and $3,000 checks and no real proof. I am an affiliate and since I put my referral link on my sign up bonus list I've gotten two clicks. This means I've earned 10 cents so far. So it seems all is well so far. By the way, you need to earn at least $50.00 in order to get paid.
Like I say with any sign up bonus site. Take advantage of the free stuff, don't ever upgrade or buy referrals and focus too much time in any one site because it could disappear at anytime. I believe GJobs Data Service to be very fishy and it could very well possibly be a scam because I've seen something similar to this that ended up disappearing. Nonetheless, it is free to join and try, so decide for yourself on whether or not you want to be serious with the Data Service Company.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/dbHZd) Here is an easy ii V7 I Jazz lick to learn in 12 keys. I was messing around with some Aebersolds a few days ago and started playing it. I knew I heard the lick before somewhere, it sounded really old school to me, yet still hip enough to play. It really sounds cool if you land on the raised fourth instead of the third on the I chord. The reason I call the lick old school is because it sounds like something an old school cat would play.
Here is a sound sample and example over a blues progression played on trumpet:
How to memorize this ii V7 I Jazz lick in 12 keys:
Well, you'll notice that the Jazz lick simply starts off on the tonic of the ii chord. I like to think in minor for pretty much the entire lick. In the above example, you just go down the D minor scale doing a little turn on the sixth and doing a chromatic to the b5. Then you'll hit the third scale degree of the V7 chord. I think to the b7th, then down the minor arpeggio doing pretty much whatever you like finally ending on the 3rd of the I chord.
I since this lick isn't very fast and if you think about the minor scale, this Jazz lick is probably easy enough to learn by ear and feel in 12 keys.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/0r3jZ) Now I know this Blog isn't a diet blog, but it is a money making blog. I've found a method that works for me in controlling how much food I eat a day and the quality of that food. So what you'll learn after reading this article is how to save a little bit of time and money in how you eat, where you eat, and how long it takes out of your day to eat.
Some of what I say you may completely agree with, other stuff you might think to be crap, but you know what they say, take everything with a grain of salt, right? Just a quick disclaimer to make the FTC happy, Subway and Kashi did not pay me in any way to write about them. Everything I say about them is an opinion free of endorsement.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the point at hand. What is the diet? Well, let me first point out some basic things first that I've learned from hardcore dieters. We all know that it is recommended to eat at least 6 times a day. We should eat essentially, 3 meals (about the size of our fist) and 3 snacks a day. You also want to make sure you are getting all the food groups in your daily diet as well. Always drink plenty of water. On top of all this, you want to make sure you are eating only naturally whole foods and that you try your best to stay away from these three ingredients mostly found in processed foods:
Now that I've laid out the basic rules, let's get to the diet. Starting off with Kashi products. Why do I like Kashi products?
They are all natural products.
They usually contain a good amount of fiber and protein.
They are easy to carry with you at all times.
They don't go bad, meaning they won't expire for awhile.
You can choose from a whole lot of flavored cereals and granola bars.
OK, so the first meal of the day will be half a bowl of Kashi cereal starting off whenever you wake up, usually around 6-7am on a normal working day.
Then of course, you'll want to snack around 9-10am. I usually have a Kashi granola bar if I don't have an apple or other piece of fruit to snack on.
For lunch, as I mentioned earlier, I go to Subway and get only a foot-long sub for the second meal of the day. You've probably heard this before, instead of eating the whole sub, I only eat half and save the other half for dinner. Depending on what sub you get, you are essentially getting most of your food groups for the day here. You can get any sub that you'd like to, but I pretty much always get the turkey sub. Here's what I put on it:
Foot-long on wheat.
Turkey (covers the meat family for the day).
Cheese (covers the milk family for the day).
Lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cucumbers, green peppers (more than covers the vegetable family for the day).
Then I top if off with mustard and black pepper (this gives it more flavor and mustard isn't bad for you like dressing is).
Instead of buying a soda at Subway, I just keep a diet soda either on me or at home to eat with the sub. I'll also have almonds or another Kashi bar instead of chips as well. I'll do this for both lunch and dinner. I find that a can of diet soda fills me up more than water, but I drink plenty of water throughout the day.
After that, around 3-4pm, I will eat another snack. Try to get fruit like apple, orange, or grapes, but if those aren't around you can always have another Kashi bar or nuts.
Of course, the third meal, dinner will be the second half of the Subway sandwich. I keep the other half in my fridge at home wrapped up nicely so it's good to go. Along with the Subway sandwich I'll have a can of diet soda and either nuts or another Kashi bar.
You guessed it, the final snack can be fruit, nuts, or another Kashi bar if you don't have the latter available.
Is this recommended as something to do everyday? Of course not. There is no way this could possibly turn into an everyday diet for anyone. But it can very easily be a routine diet on your normal, standard daily living. This is if you live and work near a Subway, which I do. Otherwise, you might want to make the sandwiches yourself if you're not lazy like me.
If you do this diet, you are spending about $6.00 a day at Subway. That equals $6 x 30 days = $180.00 a month. What do you need to buy at the grocery store? Here a few suggestions, but you are free to buy to fit your current needs:
Diet soda.
Purified water and lowfat milk
Kashi cereal.
Kashi granola bars
Fruit - grapes, strawberries, blue berries, raspberries, apples, oranges, etc..
Nuts - almonds, non-salted peanuts.
Since you'll be getting all your meat and vegetables needed for the day with your Subway sandwich, you won't need to buy any of that at the grocery store. You'll just need to make sure you get fruit and other protein and fiber rich foods. The above will cost you about another $50.00 to $100.00 a month. Man, it's not easy or cheap eating healthy. This will keep your monthly eating expenses at around $300.00 a month. Plus you will only have to eat out once a day and go grocery shopping once every two weeks or so which will save you gas money as well.
Wow, that was a lot of writing. To quickly recap, let's go over the six meals a day:
Half bowl of Kashi cereal for breakfast.
Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for snack.
First half of Subway sandwich plus diet beverage and snack for lunch (lunch should be your biggest meal of the day).
Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for snack.
Second half of Subway sandwich plus diet beverage and snack for dinner.
Fruit, nuts, or Kashi bar for final snack.
Would love to know your opinion of this diet or any room for improvements you may have to offer.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/XvSj9) Oh yes, I said it, good old Internet Explorer 6 (IE6). Don't you just love that this obsolete browser is not only still around but that people are still actually using it? Fortunately, I do have some good news for you about why you really shouldn't care whether or not Internet Explorer 6 renders your site properly or not.
Even though the crappy browser is still being used, it's not being used by individuals per say, but by Government and other networked entities that still use the old Windows framework to keep all their systems networked.
The reason why this is good is because Government and private employees are not supposed to be browsing websites unrelated to getting their work done anyway. This means the likely hood of your website even being seen by this small percentage of people is pretty slim to begin with.
Even individuals of third world Countries aren't using Internet Explorer 6 anymore. It's so easy for individuals to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, but like I said before, it' not so easy for a Government entity that is still using the old Windows network to get so easily upgraded.
A large majority of us hate Internet Explorer 6 and the entire series of Internet Explorer browsers in general because of their strict conformance rules on w3c css and such anyway. One of my biggest pet peeves about Internet Explorer in general, even though it's still the super power when it comes to Internet browsers, is the fact that they still haven't conformed with the border-radius css rule that automatically rounds all corners to make your site look really cool without images.
Anyway, back to my point. I would only focus your efforts on making sure your sites work in the latest and greatest browsers and totally forget about Internet Explorer 6 all together. It's just not worth the time for the low amount of traffic you'll get from that particular browser.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/anQY4) If you haven't heard this energetic Freddie Hubbard trumpet solo yet you're in for a real treat. Freddie Hubbard plays a lot of good minor Jazz licks in this solo with a few good licks that are definitely worth learning. I also like how Freddie Hubbard really gets into his solos and takes the mouthpiece off his lips to break his solos up a little bit.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/7pidZ) If you are a member of a lot of Safelists as I am, you've probably been hearing and seeing a whole lot of news about People String lately. A kind of new social network medium that allows you free ways to earn as well as connect with other people online. In my opinion People String isn't much to brag about, but since it's free to join, it's worth signing up and giving it a try. This is just my opinion though.
At the current moment People String does have one upgrade option for your membership. It's $200.00 and looks like a big rip off to me. You get an e-mail account that you can get for free elsewhere and you can earn off of other paid referrals. Totally looks stupid and I would never upgrade my account and ask you to do the same as me. That $200.00 would be a complete waste of money as there are more profitable ventures out there to take advantage of.
I signed up about a week ago and got a 3 cent sign up bonus. I don't know why I got the sign up bonus, but none the less I did. I've heard some people claim that they've gotten sign up bonuses of up to $1.50. That didn't happen for me, but could happen to you. People String doesn't promote a sign up bonus on their marketing pages, so I don't know why I got the bonus to begin with. But I'll take what I can get, you know what I'm saying?
As far as I can see People String works kind of like FaceBook as you can grow your network and chat with friends of yours. You can set up a lengthy profile, which I probably won't because I would rather build my FaceBook network than People Strings because FaceBook isn't based off earning money and has already established a good name for themselves.
People String is supposed to give you paid e-mails and like I said, I've been a member now for over a week and have yet to receive any paid e-mails in my inbox. So, at the current moment I've earned 3 cents and that's it.
So to get to the answer to the title of this blog post.
Is PeopleString the latest social network fad, or is it here to stay?
The answer is simple to me. It's a fad, you're hearing all about it now because it's new, but later on, a few months later you won't be hearing about it all too much because there are a whole lot of people out there that are too smart to upgrade their account for an outrageous $200.00. That's the bottom line, it's over priced and you can get more by promoting your FaceBook profile than you could promoting People String earning pennies for all your hard work.
**Disclaimer - An affiliate link is used in this post.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/GNmsu) You know, it's funny, before I owned my own affiliate program I was always concerned about the affiliate program being a scam. Now I'm finding out through trial and error that there sure are a lot of the affiliates out there that will do anything and everything in their abilities to scam affiliate programs. It's kind of ironic, isn't though?
How do they scam affiliate programs?
Well, the easiest way for them to do so is by owning multiple e-mail addresses and knowing how to manipulate IP addresses so it looks like they are signing up a new unique individual each time when they really are the same person. It's usually someone who doesn't have a real stake in the affiliate program with nothing to lose.
Don't believe me? Here is an example affiliate program scammer I recently caught signing up multiple accounts in my affiliate program under multiple affiliates.
You'll notice how similar the e-mail addresses are and also the IP addresses a very similar. This is a sign of an affiliate scammer in your mist.
Let me quickly go over some affiliate program essentials that you should have to protect yourself against fraudulent sign ups online.
A confirmation link in initial sign up e-mail to confirm affiliate accounts so they don't use someone else's e-mail address.
Require the affiliate to manually log into their account before they are approved.
Manually approve all affiliates so you can check for any fraudulent activity.
Make sure your affiliate program checks for unique IP addresses
Look for similar names when someone signs up, could be a sign of the same user signing up multiple times.
Make sure your affiliate program can quickly and easily manage and check through all affiliate sign ups for duplicates because sometimes you'll miss some.
Affiliates that sign up with weird names that don't make sense like (bat man, super man, spider man) these are probably scammers.
Building a relationship with your top producers is a good idea because these are the ones most likely to sign up the most fraudulent sign ups at times.
Requiring your affiliate program to accept e-mails as user names is a good idea because that way only one unique e-mail address per affiliate can be used.
Make sure the terms and conditions of your affiliate program note that fraudulent sign ups will be deleted and that all affiliate sign ups are approved according to your terms that the affiliates must follow in order to be accepted.
Your affiliate program might not need all these safety credentials if you don't offer any incentives for affiliates signing up, but if you do, then it is a smart idea to protect your affiliate program from scamming affiliates.
I use Post Affiliate Pro 4 to manage my affiliate program. Don't worry, I don't have a Post Affiliate Pro affiliate link to promote them. I am a real customer of them and they are who I use. I chose them because I knew designing my own affiliate program from scratch would take forever and that I would have a whole bunch of security loop holes I would have to learn the hard way without them.
After discovering how many affiliate scammers there really are out there, I am proud to say I really did make the right decision to go with a professional service. Otherwise my affiliate program would probably be out of business by now with all the fake sign ups I would've had to have paid by now.
If you're into gambling online, this is for you. If you're like me on the other hand, you're probably going to want to just take advantage of the free affiliate programs these two gaming sites have to offer. You will have the ability to earn up to 50% of what your referred customers spend on the gambling sites along with an option to do CPA earnings only. Nothing too complicated, but I thought I should at least let you know.
Let's start off with 123 Bingo Online. You'll get a $25.00 sign up bonus just for joining and can earn up to a huge 1,000% return on your first deposit. I think that sounds kind of outrageous in my opinion. Like I said before, I'm not into gambling online, so I don't know how legit these two site really are. Make sure to do your due diligence before putting any money into them.
The next gambling bingo bonus site is Bingo Flash. With Bingo Flash you'll get a $20.00 sign up bonus just for joining and up to 250% return on your first deposit with them. I know it is a whole lot less compared to 123 Bingo Online, but you're probably going to lose all that money to gambling anyway.
Sign up with both of these gambling bingo bonus sites and make at a minimum, $45.00 of free money you can gamble away online.
Arslan contacted me with a recommended site I should add to Signupandmakemoney, but on top of that, he recommended I should categorize all the sign up bonus sites in best, scam, not so good, etc... He recommended I use a scale from 1-5.
After taking some time to think of the best way to categorize all the sign up bonus sites and other sites listed at Sign Up and Make Money, I came to the final conclusion that the best way to categorize everything would be to put all the sites into sites that I think are the best to sign up on, then sites that are OK to sign up on and still have potential, to finally including sites that I think are the worst to sign up on and you'll probably make the least amount of money with.
Of course these are all my hard headed opinions. If you are the owner of one of these sites or have been paid multiple times by one of these sites and can vouch for them that they are indeed in the wrong category, please contact me right away and I will reconsider where I listed the site.
I most definitely am probably wrong on a lot of the categories I chose for sites. That is why I would love the opinions of others as whether or not the sites have paid you, or even worse, if the sites haven't paid you and have been prolonging payment to you for some time now. It would be really nice to know this information.
I really want Signupandmakemoney.com to be the best resource for sign up bonus sites online now and forever. The only way this can be accomplished is through a community effort. All your opinions are greatly appreciated and can also be submitted at the sign up bonus forum as well.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/XMaHs) I know this arpeggio exercise doesn't look like much. But if you practice it enough and get it down in 12 keys both up and down the augmented triad, it will help you develop your use of the augmented triad within in your own improvised Jazz solos. This post falls within the whole tone category because augmented triads are part of the whole tone scale.
You'll be able to play the augmented triad starting on any note within your Jazz solo. As we all know, augmented triads sound great and make good use of leading your solo into the next chord change.
Here is a sound sample/demonstration on trumpet:
How to work on this exercise to learn it in 12 keys:
As you can see in the above example, you simply start on the raised 5th of whatever triad you are starting on. It doesn't matter which note you start on, because you'll want to get used to starting off the exercise on different notes to develop your overall technique. If you look closely, there are only 4 augmented arpeggios you are working on. They just start on different notes as you go through the exercise.
From there, you'll see that the exercise simply alternates up and down in half steps. You can change it up a little bit and do whole steps if you get tired of half steps, it's entirely up to you.
If you decide to learn the exercise in half steps like I prefer, then all you have to do is go up a half step from G# to A and do the same exercise up a half step all over again. Now you'll hit all 12 keys and have alternated both up and down for every key.
Now when you take your next Jazz solo, or play your next Aebersold, you'll want to attempt to bust an augmented arpeggio out somewhere. Preferably over a V7 chord go to a I chord. It works in as many places as your imagination can conjure up.
I think that is a dollar well spent on the behalf of Advertyze.com. I would gladly pay $1.00 to everyone that linked back to my website. In the long run, I believe it is well worth the dollar spent.
So what is Advertyze.com all about?
First off, it is a yet another free way for you to earn some money online. You'll get 10 cents every time you sign someone up for free. If one of your referrals ever decides to purchase advertising with Advertyze.com, you'll earn 25% of the profits on all upgraded accounts.
That's what you get for actively promoting the site, you can also use Advertyze.com as an outlet to get exposure to your website. They are a 7 year old Company, so they had some time to build a good customer base network of customers around them.
There are many ways to promote your website online for free, so I would stay away from purchasing advertising from Advertyze.com unless you've really done your homework on them and see them as a good stream of fresh visitors to your site.
If you decide to stick with the route I'm taking, which is simply promoting the affiliate program's $1.00 sign up bonus, you'll have nothing to lose because you won't be investing any of your own money into the Company.
One thing I've noticed about Advertyze.com is that they have an annoying pop up ad that asks you to get started by filling in your name and e-mail address. The ad looks quite appealing if it is what I think it is. They say you'll get 50 free leads a week. I kind of have to wonder how good those leads really are. I guess there is only one way to find out.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/uu9x7) I ran into a paid to click site (looks more like a bux site) today entitled My 9 to 5 Biz that is offering a $5.00 sign up bonus for joining. The thing that upsets me about the paid to click site is that it looks just so typical of a bux site. What I mean by that is they obviously are simply just using a standard bux script for their site and put up some cheap graphics, vuala, they are now a new bux site.
My only hope is that My 9 to 5 Biz will turn out to be a legit site that doesn't try to make most of their money off of referrals versus making money off the paid to click ads like they should be doing. As with all sites like these, please do not invest any money in them without doing your best due diligence on them first. Just take advantage of their free benefits, which in the case of My 9 to 5 Biz is simply getting paid to click.
After taking a close look at My9to5Biz, I think I'm pretty happy to say that there business model looks like it makes sense. They only go over 1 cent per click (one for you and one for your referrals) if you are a premium member and they don't have a ton of ads on there site (this would only show that they are promoting there own affiliate links on the site until they get advertisers). This is fine, but at least My 9 to 5 Biz isn't over doing it like we've all seen so many other paid to click sites with that script do.
You have to earn $15.00 in order to cash out on the $5.00 sign up bonus. You can buy referrals as well, this is a red flag for any site. Don't ever buy referrals for something people can sign up for free. It just doesn't make any sense, you know what I mean?
I also checked out the 9 to 5 Biz forum and they have nothing in it yet, they are pretty new to the paid to click community. Like I said before, don't invest any money or too much time in a site like this until you see some results and legit payment proofs from other members.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/s1iF3) A majority of us, when we start off in Global NPN, we begin at the Pro level ($10.75 a month). When is the best time to upgrade your Pro level membership, which provides a whole lot of benefits for its low monthly cost, to the Plus level ($19.95 a month)?
There are two factors that I can think of that would alter your decision in this. The first one is simple. If you have referred two or more Plus level members personally already, you might as well upgrade because you are simply missing out on commissions. Instead of getting $5.00 a month off of the Plus members in your matrix, why not make $10.00 residual? It's not rocket science if you ask me.
Global NPN was designed so that you could start off the membership at the lowest cost possible. This is why it's so easy to refer people to Global NPN. There aren't very many good mlm business opportunities out there that offer such a low fee to get started.
As you progress in The New Plan Network and refer more people, you will find that the more serious minded of your down line matrix will be ready to take their membership to the next level. This is how you can take your team up the ladder with you and earn higher residual commissions in the long run.
This is another reason why I like Global NPN so much and why I think it is the best mlm business opportunity out there today. You get to decide when to go up to the next level. You and you alone make this decision. You can stay at the $10.75 level for as long as you'd like to. No one is stopping you from doing so.
The second factor that might persuade you to go from the Pro level to the Plus level right off the bat is that you may be interested in what Global NPN's upgraded membership levels have to offer. Maybe you need more than 3 url rotators or maybe you need more than 5 url link trackers. If this is the case, then by all means you should upgrade to the membership level that provides the services you are going to need to get the marketing job done.
Here is a quick video from the owner of Global NPN (Geoff Stephen) on why you should upgrade in Global NPN, it's just his opinion. I still think you should only upgrade when you have enough people in your down line that are upgraded or you if you are interested in the upgraded membership level perks.
Disclaimer - Global NPN affiliate links are used in this post.
So how do we as bloggers and website owners follow the new FTC guidelines correctly?
I searched all over the Internet for some good straight forward answers on whether I should simply put a disclaimer at the end of my blog post if I make money when someone signs up through my affiliate link that I wrote only good things about. Or instead, should I be able to do a site wide blanket disclaimer for everything? I'm not sure.
Here is all that Mary Engle, the Associate Director - Bureau of Consumer Protection, says about what you need to do.
According to Mary Engle it shouldn't be too complicated. But my concern is before I go through all my websites and their corresponding pages (over 1,000 pages be honest), I want to make sure that I am updating them correctly.
It looks like the FTC is leaving it up to us to be creative in how we disclose our relationships with the websites and products we write about.
If you write a review about a website or product and you make money off people signing up or purchasing, we simply need to disclose this in our own unique way to our readers and visitors.
I believe the best way to disclose that you are either making money off of a product you are writing about or have received some sort of compensation for writing about a product or website is to simply leave a note at the bottom of the blog post or page it was written about on.
There are no real rules on how you can do this, none that I've found anyway. Please let me know if I'm being an idiot on this one or not.
Example #1
You just wrote a review about a website using a referral link from the advertiser's website. At the bottom of the page or blog post you could simply write something like this:
An affiliate link from Company "XYZ" is used on this page.
You could add more to this, but according to the FTC, they only expect you to be straight forward and open, they don't give any other instructions on how to disclose your relationship with the website or product you just wrote an article about.
Example #2
You just wrote a review about an Amazon product using your Amazon affiliate link. At the bottom of the post or page put:
The product link on this web page is an Amazon affiliate link.
That should do according the the FTC's vague guidelines.
Example #3
You wrote an article about a video game that you were given free from the gaming Company in order to say good things about them. At the bottom of the page or post simply put this:
XYZ Company gave a free copy of this video game for reviewing purposes.
That should do. Notice how I'm not referring to myself in these disclosures, I'm just letting the readers know someone is making money off of it whether it is me or not.
Are you getting where I'm going with this? The FTC didn't set any strict guidelines on how you disclose your relationships with the advertisers you write about. So as far as I see it, you just need to disclose it somewhere on the same page and you should be good to go.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/0Kz0k) I would like to thank an affiliate of Signupandmakemoney, Gordon, for introducing me to Marvel E-mail. A free advertising site that gives you a cash sign up bonus of $1.75 and 870 credits currently. You can use this cash sign up bonus towards advertising of your websites online. You can also choose to save it up until you reach the minimum cash out balance of $20.00.
Gordon's affiliate link is used in this post and also on the main sign up bonus list.
I believe the sign up bonus was originally $1.50, so it went up and you should take advantage of this opportunity. One thing that annoys me a little bit about Marvel E-mail is their bothering persistence to get you to upgrade by saying you only have so much time left. I think this is ridiculous and they probably won't get very many people upgrading in their $39.99 membership option.
As always, I recommend that you take advantage of the free money and advertising credits you'll be able to earn with Marvel E-mail. Don't ever put any real money into these types of websites until you very thoroughly have done your due diligence of them first.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/u7EsF) Golden Panda Traffic is offering a $5.00 sign up bonus until they reach $1,000 members. It looks like a pretty decent traffic exchange from what I can see so far.
The only negatives I could see is that they have a long 20 second timer (at least it's a 1:1 surf ratio though), you have to contact admin in order to get your $5.00 sign up bonus, and you'll have to surf 25 sites in order for your account to be fully active.
On a positive note, some good things about joining Golden Panda Traffic is that on top of the $5.00 bonus for joining, you'll also get about 800 text exchange credits, 1,000 banner impressions, and 1,000 text ad impressions. The way I look at it is that's free traffic to take advantage of. You might as well not let it go to waste.
You can purchase credits, but as I always say with free traffic sites,
"If they offer free traffic in the first place, what's the point of paying for something that others are getting for free?"
To me, it just doesn't make sense.
Of course you can build on your credits by referring other free members. This is true with pretty much any traffic exchange I've seen out there. If I'm wrong on this, please let me know right away.
Other than this, Golden Panda Traffic looks pretty much like any other ordinary traffic exchange out there. Once they build a good membership base, you'll be glad that you joined early and got a bunch of free credits built up.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/47kXy) I know that you don't want to hear this, but whether you're brand new to secret shopping or are an experienced veteran (happy Veterans Day by the way), where you're located is going to depend whether or not you'll produce a good extra income stream with mystery shopping. You know what they say, "Location, location, location!"
I'm not as busy with mystery shopping as I once used to be. I choose to grow my residual income online now, verses getting paid on a per job completion basis. Do I still do secret shopping jobs? Of course, if they pay well, are in my 10 mile radius, and aren't too difficult, I will be more than happy to make the extra cash.
Unfortunately I turn down a lot of secret shopping jobs offered by various schedulers, but it's no offense to them, it's usually because the job is just too far away and the pay doesn't cover the gas expenses and time I would have to put forth to successfully complete the job. Not to mention doing the hideous online report at the end of the day. Those are the worse, really.
How do I know location is so important to making money with secret shopping?
It's pretty simple folks, if you are in or around a major city or suburb, you will have more local businesses and franchises around you. This of course equals more money in the bank for you as a mystery shopper. Sometimes it really isn't that cut and dry. I used to do mystery shopping in Washington State. I've averaged around $700 to $1,000.00 extra a month doing mystery shopping part time over there. Once I moved to New Orleans, I've noticed a whole lot less jobs.
Maybe it was the fact that I just wasn't registered with the right secret shopping companies that cover the New Orleans area, but I actually notice more jobs in outlying cities even though New Orleans is where you would think most of the jobs would be.
In Washington, I barely ever had to make my way up to Seattle because most of the jobs could be taken care of in smaller suburban cities.
How do I know if my area is good for earning extra income in secret shopping?
There is only one way to find out. You have to sign up with as many secret shopping companies as you can and see what kinds of jobs are offered to you and where they're at. I'm just an online blogger, so I'm only familiar with areas I've secret shopped in.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/3xrMR) I ran into this rare promotion not too long ago and I thought I would share it with everyone. I don't know how long Sharebuilder and ING Direct will be offering this opportunity. If you're into investing, you might as well get some free investing credits at Sharebuilder while they last. You can earn a $25.00 sign up bonus in free investing credits.
Trading with Sharebuilder costs $9.95 for every trade. One bad thing about Sharebuilder is there trades aren't exactly very fast. In my experience, I've submitted an order online and to buy some shares of a stock and about 3 hours later they will finally buy it for me.
Do you know how much the price of a stock can fluctuate in 3 hours?
That's right, a whole hell of a lot. I have the same trouble with selling shares. I purchase my selling trade, then hours later Sharebuilder will finally sell off my shares, or even worse, wait until the next trading day to sell them off. This bothers me, but if you're into long term investing, it shouldn't be a problem for you.
So you know what you get, about 3 free trades.
What do I get?
Not much, just 2 real time trades (not really real time) and 5 automatic investments (which I don't ever use). I can only get credit for these things a number of 5 times. That's it.
So I'm writing this post in benefit of you more than me. If you would like to be invited, let me know by sending an e-mail to me with your name and e-mail address. I will send you an invitation. Otherwise, just join with the first link in this post to be taken to Sharebuilder's main site.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/vZD6H) Let's face it, there are a whole lot of really cool Wordpress plugins out there that will spice up your blog in no time. But I wanted to write this article to pin point a list of Wordpress plugins that are pretty essential and that you shouldn't be without.
In my opinion, some of these plugins should just come with the standard installation of Wordpress on your server. Don't worry, you won't miss a single important plugin after reading this blog post.
Just so you know, all of these plugins can be installed from your Wordpress back office. Just go to the left hand side and find Plugins, then Add New. Make sure the plugin name matches the author, otherwise you will be getting a completely different plugin than what I'm talking about.
14 Wordpress plugins you should have installed:
All in One SEO Pack by Michael Torbert - This is one of the essential plugins I believe should automatically come with your Wordpress installation. This plugin allows you to give a unique title, description, and keywords for every single page and blog post on your Wordpress site.
Google XML Sitemaps by Arne Brachhold -Yet another essential plugin that should come automatically installed with Wordpress in my opinion. This excellent plugin not only generates your sitemap for you, but it also pings out to the Search Engines for you every time you do a new post on your blog.
WP-SpamFree by Scott Allen -You probably won't see the need for this plugin right away, but it is another essential plugin for your Wordpress blog. It stops all the spammers and bots from attacking your blog with fake, generated comments full of really bad ads.
Contextual Related Posts by Ajay D'Souza -This plugin automatically sorts all your posts for you. After someone visits one of your posts, they can then see a list of related posts that the reader may also be interested in checking out as well.
Get Recent Comments by Krischan Jodies -This plugin may not be necessary as some Wordpress blogs might already have a recent comments script already included with their theme. But if not, this plugin will get all your recent comments that you can show to your readers in the sidebar or wherever you would like to show it.
Kahi's Notes by Peter Kahoun -This plugin is for you back office only. It just helps to be able to take quick notes on tasks related to your blog or future posts you may want to write about.
Sociable by Blogplay -This plugin allows your readers to easily tweet and share your blog posts if they really like them. Makes it easy to print and e-mail posts as well.
Twitbar Widget by C. Finegan - This is a simple plugin that allows you to put your latest twitter tweets on your blog's side bar. Just another way to get traffic to previous blog posts.
Wordpress Popular Posts by Héctor Cabrera - This plugin tracks hits and comments on posts to determine which blog posts on your site are the most popular. It's a way for you to see what posts are your best work and displays them on your sidebar.
WP Greet Box by Thaya Kareeson - This plugin tracks where your visitors come from and politely asks them to subscribe. For example, if a visitor comes from Google, it will say, "Welcome fellow Googler, please subscribe." You can personalize the greetings any way you would like to.
Follow Me by Brian Chappell - This plugin makes it very easy for readers to follow you on various social networks without taking up a lot of space on your blog. There are similar plugins, you just need to find the best one for you.
I hope this information is helpful to you, keep on blogging.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/SaTiE) Being a web designer is so much fun and challenging. I just recently caught myself focusing a lot of time on re-designing a music website of mine. This is why I decided to write this blog post. No matter how much fun it is to update and tune up your website to look like perfection, the thing that really matters is content when it comes to getting organic traffic from the search engines and a good amount of repeat visits from subscribers from your site or blog.
I mean, your website or blog can only look so good. Believe me, I've seen some really impressive looking sites out there and I absolutely love to look at them, but a lot of them lack content in my opinion. As long as your website looks very well organized and well spaced, your content should be the main focus of the site.
It's hard for a web designer or programmer to stop working on code and instead focus on getting good, quality content out to the worldwide web. I really don't have an answer to this problem. I mainly just wanted to write this article as a friendly reminder to take a break from the code and and just be satisfied with what you got. You know what they say,
Allen Vizzutti takes an awesome trumpet ride on this tune and an amazing trumpet cadenza at the end with a bunch of high notes in between. I hope you enjoy!
Sometimes what makes a multi-level marketing business opportunity a scam is the simple fact that you joined up with super high expectations only to find out a month later you haven't signed anybody up.
What does this mean?
Well, it doesn't mean that particular mlm business opportunity is a scam, it just probably means that particular mlm businesses opportunity just wasn't the right one for you.
The business opportunities that are legitimately priced (such as low $10.00 to $40.00 monthly membership fees) are most likely not scams.
But if get some guy calling you up and asking for $500 to $1,000 and promising you the world, then we most likely have a problem. So, let's quickly go over a few signs of a scam:
Very high fee.
Product doesn't match the monthly fee.
You got a sales person calling you very aggressively to sign up.
Make it sound like you don't have to do anything but sign up to succeed in the business.
Promise you huge earnings without any work.
Ask you for money upfront and promise you free money in the distant future.
Haven't been in business very long.
Can't find very much information on them when you search the web.
OK, so now let's go over some signs that the mlm business opportunity is most likely a legit one:
They have been in business for a few years.
Low fee to join.
Don't promise you extraordinary earnings for doing no work.
Are realistic and show you how many sign ups you'll really need to reach payout.
Minimum payout is $100.00 or less.
Product looks legit and makes sense.
You can find information about the mlm on the worldwide web.
Always do your due diligence when joining any kind of mlm business opportunity that cost money. I have tried many and failed at many and only succeeded with a few. The few I succeeded with were because they were the right ones for me. The other ones I failed at weren't scams. I just didn't have what it took to promote their particular product or service.
I'm ultimately for free ways to make money online verses mlm opportunities. I'm not one of those people like to hop from program to program. It just doesn't seem beneficial to me. I currently have 3 mlm business opportunities that I have been building now for the last three years. They are all growing at a good rate.
I'm glad I ventured out and tried a few things before I found 3 great programs that worked for me. Now if I ever promote anything other than these 3 programs, they are always free affiliate programs that don't cost a single dime to promote.
So what's the moral of this blog post? Well, it's simply to let you know if you fail at a multi-level marketing business, that mlm business probably isn't a scam. It just means it wasn't the right business opportunity for you in the first place. So you need to keep searching until you find the right one for y0u.
There is a famous saying I want to share with you.
The average millionaire tries out 7-10 business ventures before they find one that works.
(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/Qupns) Found a couple more sign up bonus sites. I would like to personally thank Gordon for introducing Clicks Vista to Signupandmakemoney. His affiliate link is used both in this blog post and at the main sign up bonus list. After visiting Clicks Vista, I was lucky enough to find yet another sign up bonus site entitled Quids Corner. I know it's an odd name, but it still has potential for some free income earning possibilities.
Let's get started, shall we.
Clicks Vista is free to join, they offer a 25 cent sign up bonus. Unfortunately, it looks like Clicks Vista is only accepting members from the United States and Canada. If you are from another Country, they will oddly refer you to Quids Corner. This shows me that both sites are probably owned by the same individual or entity.
Clicks Vista claims to be a paid to read, paid to click, paid to sign up, and last but not least, a cash back shopping site. That seems to be a lot of ways to earn, but we'll only know by giving it a try.
Quids Corner offers a sign up bonus, but they don't promote that on their sign up page. You can actually get a 25 cent sign up bonus as well by joining Quids Corner. I find that to be quite odd. After I signed up, thankfully the sign up bonus was deposited without any delay.
Quids Corner claims to be a paid to read email site as well as a cash back shopping site. If you know much about me, I'm not really too big into cash back shopping sites. This is mainly due to me not being a big shopper. I mean, in order to get cash back, you got to spend the cash first. You have to realize that this is not very easy for penny pinchers to do.
Both sign up bonus sites look to have a Blog and Forum attached to them. If anything else, these two sites may be simply a good way for you to network what you currently got going on at the moment.
It looks like the most you can earn per click is 3 cents per 25 second timer. This seems odd to me and just a little bit high in price. This might be another one of those scam sites that are betting on people to upgrade their membership or buy referrals in order to come ahead of the game.
Take a quick look at some of their advertising cost. Pretty low and affordable to me, so why on earth are they paying members up to 3 cents per click, but there is no way their advertisers and paying enough in ad revenue to fit the bill. Looks fishy to me.
I'm not 100% sure if Easy Money PTC is a scam or not. All I'm saying is that the numbers just simply don't add up.
Another thing that bothers me is their site stats (take a look to your left). Over 39,000 hits in one day, but only 10 members online and a little over 4,000 members. What is even scarier is that they are claiming to have paid out over $65,000 878 times.
Hmmm... Let's do the math on that. $65,000 divided by 878 payments made = $74.00 per payment.E If you take a close look at Easy Money PTC's payment proof page, you'll see that most payments average around $20.00 to $30.00 a pop and a lot of the payments made are to the same individuals.
So what's my point here? I don't know if Easy Money PTC is a scam or not. What I am recommending is that you at least check them out and see for yourself whether or not they are a scam. Never invest any money into a site like this, but take advantage of the potential free traffic and earning capabilities.
Another thing that disturbs me is that I haven't gotten my $1.00 sign up bonus. I have contacted Easy Money PTC in hopes that this is some sort of mistake. How can you promote a $1.00 sign up bonus and not give it to your members unless it is seriously a mistake?
Take a quick look at my earning stats. Am I blind, where is the sign up bonus?
A lousy 3 cents is all I've earned so far for clicking on one ad. Seriously where is the sign up bonus?
Alright, I think I've said enough bad things about Easy Money PTC for now. So let me mention some of the good things about them. They do have lots of earning options. You can get paid to click, paid to read, paid to sign up, etc... They also have a click exchange area where you can build up some free traffic back to your ads.
You can't cash out until you earn at least $20.00. Good luck getting there. And it also looks like the only way to earn off of referring other members is by being an upgraded member yourself. What kind of program is this anyway.
A few years back I got into web design and internet marketing. This is something I really love to do! I have been making money online since 2008. I know it took me a little while, but that is one of the reasons I made this blog. This way people can learn from my mistakes and find the right sites that really do pay their members!
