Interested People History

Hello Interested People,

I promised you a review of the investment year 2009 before the end of the month and here it is!

I was working on it, was almost done and I even saved it. Then as I was pondering what I wanted to say near the end, I clicked on a button I had only just noticed in my email tools, something called Stationary. It showed me a bunch of wonderful templates I could use to display my message. Unfortunately, it also somehow "disappeared" everything I had written. OMG, I just wanted to cry.

I have a Snow Leopard mac operating system which has a time machine on it. So I thought "Finally I get to use my time machine!"

Sigh... there was a version there, but it had saved only right after I had started writing, so I was only able to recuperate half of the first paragraph. So then I DID cry. I am so upset and frustrated to lose so much work, especially when I have so little time.

So here is the second version, written with fewer details and explanations, but I think it will get the job done nonetheless!

Overall, it wasn't a great year. We either got dumped by companies going out of business, ruined thru technology and/or lack of it, or are STILL WAITING for them to take off.

Only two things made us anything to shout about: GNI and the Robot Forex Trading. Fortunately, they made up for all the rest!

In order of presenting them to you starting Jan 2009:

Birthday Bonus Club: BBC was a good idea and it started off well enough, with lots of enthusiasm from participants. But when those that were expecting gifts from everyone in their downline didn't get them, they stopped sending gifts. This caused those in the downline to be so disappointed, they stopped sending gifts and so on... also the idea that the upline was to gift a certain number of people in their downline apparently was changed at some point as no one received anything at all from their uplines... I mean, I don't think there were invitations sent to the uplines for those with little people in their downlines. This also caused the revolt.

So... although it was a worthy idea, it was also an experiment in human nature and HN won. Still operating and still a fun idea, but even with a big downline (spillover or self-built) don't expect to get rich on your birthday.

GPP: This is actually from several years ago. Still not paid out, still waiting, update to update.

AdViewGlobal/AdGateWorld/DRFund/Hollywood Ads/AdVentures/AdShares4U: Everyone of them just stopped paying. Only AdVentures4U shows any effort to make good on what they said and have sent two small payments so far to those that continue surfing that didn't at least break even. No more surfers/profit sharing for me!

World Light: STILL WAITING for it to take off. Should be SOON, still. Latest update: World Light has now added Solid Trust Pay to the site.  People can pay through Solid Trust Pay using a credit card and not have to set up an account. Mike (admin) said he spoke with David Preston this morning and Mike asked David to give him a couple of days before he starts hammering this. So - hopefully good things will begin happening. 

There was a call this week with David Preston and Willie Crawford.  Mr. Crawford is a big internet marketer and I am told he is one of Mr. Preston's good buddies who will be hammering World Light also.  The recording will be made available and we should be getting an update directly from admin soon.

ICF World Homes: Was closed down by the Canadian authorities and has moved offshore. If you are in it and haven't gotten any updates from admin or myself, let me know. May be a once again viable project in the future, but needs to get everything back into place first. It is a brilliant business plan, so I hope they can save it and pursue it.

JVG: One of the bigger disappointments of the year. They changed the business plan so much and so often, that they had to just start over with a new one. This meant that all those that paid the "ONE TIME EVER" entry price were SOL if they didn't want to pay again to enter the new plan.

My thoughts are, if the admin had to scrap his original idea so many times that it finally just killed it, what is to protect us from that happening over and over again? On the other hand, I DID continue with it and so did many others. But it is no longer a good program that can be made passive thru finagling. We'll see what happens.

Iggly Biggly: This is the one that died for us because of technology. The company is still there and your position is still viable, but what was originally a business investment, turned into a team build (we were to contribute to the business so they could relaunch after a natural disaster shut them down. It was a very successful business that just needed some help getting going again). Since it was only $20 and we had so many people interested, we did a team build for this when they decided to do a matrix instead.

We structured it by hand, 2 x 2 and sent in the data. The company then input our data into a pre-fabricated downline builder program and the entire build was skewed so badly, that even I did not cycle with hundreds in my downline!

And worse, there is still no way for me to fix the downline because the stupid software only shows 2 levels deep, so I have no idea where the holes are. Anyway, I gave it up as a bad job, no can fix.

You should still be getting company updates and you can still work your position and earn money BUT I know that that is not what most of you will do nor was that part of the original deal. It is simply what we were left stuck with.

MyMusicTicket/HelloHello: There is so much I could say about this and we spent a lot of time and energy on it (thankfully no money though!). Basically it was all a hyped up mess. Then a dramatic he said/she said. Then a potentially profitable copy cat... until we discovered the copy cat admin was a raving, violent lunatic. Enough said. Hasta la vista.

AAN: This is a business plan run by a CEO with vision and heart. We waited most of the year for the programming to be ready and now that it is, it is working exactly as planned. HOWEVER, since our profits are based on what inventory we are assigned and how fast it sells, the earnings are much smaller and slower than most of us imagined. But it is a good business, based on real business and as long as we consider it a longer term investment, it is going to treat us well.

ZuluTrade: An excellent idea and potentially profitable if you can invest in a large enough account and you get lucky choosing the right signal providers. Basically the way this works is that you open an account thru Zulu's site, your very own broker account that you have full control over. Then you assign traders to trade your acct for you, you choose the level of risk. Where it goes pear-shaped is that most of these traders have such great stats because they use NO STOP LOSS and will allow trades to go into thousands of pips of drawdown if necessary. And if you don't have the margin to cover that drawdown, your acct is zeroed out.

The flaw in the system is that there is no way of knowing what kind of drawdown you are getting with each  trader... until it is too late. I asked Zulu admin about adding a stat for that and they agreed it was hurting their business to have so many smaller account holders going bust. After zeroing out my acct twice, I honestly haven't tried a third time, although I may do so sometime in the future, using a micro acct and penny lot sizes. But then again, what is the point of earning only pennies?

Millionairex: Another program that has changed course a few times. BUT they have created a final version that is very enticing and admin is someone who has a vision and can definitely be counted on to stick around. However, the only hope of earning with this one passively is by getting lucky with overspill. There is a good chance of it simply because another project from our upupline, Jennie Menn, will be bringing people in under those that are joining now. And apparently this project of Jennie's is a huge big wonderful deal. So many of you have mentioned it to me but I honestly have never had time or energy to figure it all out, it seems quite complicated. But in any case, all the participants in that will be coming in under us in Millionairex7.

***Only those that were in previous versions have the right to join this final version, until Feb 1st. Then anyone can join. If you were at any time involved in Millionairex1 or 3, and I was your sponsor, and you haven't received the link from me yet (I sent it this morning), then please contact me for the link to pre-register. There is nothing to pay until February, but you can get your early registration position held for you until then. Passively, this one will rely on luck to earn, but if you want to take a chance, go for it! You can always cancel subscription later.***

UnoStart: We joined this one because we had a chance to be the first ones in, buy three referrals, and move thru a 7 program system with a one time low payment of $15-$60. The admin of this company is a great guy and he has a great idea, but it is slow to build for now. BUT those that joined are in a primo position to start moving forward and I have just had news that should help us start moving more quickly.

You should be getting updates from Marilyn and Steen and should try to keep up to date thru them. I won't be promoting it anymore only because it isn't truly passive AND we had our shot to get in first... getting in now and earning passively would be much more difficult, so I can't recommend entering now as a passive member. Those already in, just hang on for the ride, even if it seems to be a slow bus going nowhere. Wherever it goes, and the destination is a fine one, and YOU will get there first!

Tazoodle: The last revenue based program I will ever join. They did finally launch and we are earning now, if you are looking at the ads... but it ain't anything to get excited about. Try to stick with it long enough to get your money back out and hope it lasts that long or that they succeed in making it much more successful than it is so far.

AdFlasher: This was a DREAM program for us when it first started and we all had visions of quitting our day jobs! LOL But they have reduced the earnings and increased the minimum withdrawal amount so much that I can't imagine it being worth it to many to continue clicking. AND more bad news... I have had 2 withdrawal requests pending for over a month now and no news on when they will be paid. I am not complaining because I definitely made money with this one, but if they can't pay actually pay us, what is the point? BIG disappointment after a spectacular beginning.

PowerBar: I actually have no idea what the news is on this one. The "club" was actually a clever idea of a big listowner to build a downline in an existing program that is/was in beta. Very clever and successful idea! But the company that is presenting us with the bar is still in beta and you can only make a couple of cents a day for now. Last I heard. I am sure once we can start making any decent money, we will hear more news. That big listowner will make sure of it, as it will mean big bucks to him to have us all clicking on the ads! LOL

Organic Acres: Here is the latest from our upline, who is at the top of this one and very much in contact with admin. This program has great potential and a great product (who doesn't eat vegetables and other groceries?) but is slow to launch due to technical stuff.

Jerry said today that they finally, at last, had the last of the attorneys state definitely that everything is a OK so papers can finally be signed (took over a month after all the involved parties had agreed on all terms!).

They are still having glitches in the General Store but have a programmer working to finish it up and co-ordinate it so we use the same login and password for MyOrganicAcres, The General Store and the Organic Community which will be like a gardening social network to share gardening tips, recipes, learn who is in your area to set up shipping hubs, etc . Members that login at least once per week at the Organic Community, will be able to click on the Horn of Plenty to be entered in the weekly draw for free groceries credits in the General Store of $1000 per week divided in 10 prizes (probably) of $250 to $10 with matching prizes for the sponsors of winners.

Due to the glitches in getting the General Store up and running, the signs ups for the pre-registered Pioneer positions has been extended to January 31st so members can see what will be available in the store. The General Store will open with a wide variety of over 7,000 items to start, organic and natural products in single items and many available in case prices too, hopefully ready to go early next week but you know glitches can happen each time you think it is finished and ready to go. The Organic Community will open soon after the G. Store. MOA will start a big marketing drive as soon as the store opens to fill all the Pioneer positions as soon as possible. The discount on the gardens may continue until February 28.

Members will be able to have a year round full or half herb garden in one of the 12 huge greenhouses for an extra fee. These will be smaller gardens that can be added to an existing garden or it may possibly be your Pioneer garden but this has not been definitely decided yet nor the start up and monthly cost of the herb gardens.

Upgraded members will be able to purchase credit packages of 100 credits to 1000 credits at discounts of 5% to 25% for further savings in the G. Store and these credit packages will pay commissions to the 5 levels.

Free members will earn only 2.5% on personal level upgrades, monthly fees and credit packages and will have lower discounts on credit packages. They will be able to buy from the public Farmer's Market which will not have the lower prices of the member to member Farmer's Market. There will be a store front General Store at the farm where locals can shop or members go pick up their orders. If anyone insists on using Visa or Mastercard to pay for products instead of joining, buying credits and using them in the General Store, the sale will not be commissionable since the G. Store is set up to run with credits for commissions. Using credit cards for purchases will be discourages but is an option to introduce new people to MOA and the G. Store. They will be given the info that they can get 5% to 25% discounts by joining and buying credits instead of using a credit card.

A list to choose what to grow in your garden will be made available near the end of February or early March. Space required for different vegetables will be supplied, planting times, etc. We will be able to have some vegetables planted in spring, summer and even fall crops. Herbs can be planted in your garden or you can choose to have a year round herb garden.

GNI: Paying us an easy 6% per week for over a year, been in existence for over 3 years (some offline/private). Has just announced a restructuring of program due to some bumps, but still an excellent program. I think everyone is already in it. If you aren't, wait another month for the dust to settle on this new plan and I think it will be just fine. For more info, see: http://www.getresponse.com/archive/interestedpeople/Interested-People-GNI-What-is-happening-3614587.html

Forex Robot Trading: This is what kept me out of most all the other programs last year (and thankfully so!). I just didn't have time because of making so much money with these robots and helping others to do the same! 2010 is looking to be just as good if not better, so far. For more info on my top money maker, please see:
http://fapturbomakesmoney.com

As for new programs in 2010... I will be being VERY selective and they must be VERY passive and easy. People are beating my door down about several programs... the ones that are similar to GNI look promising and I said I'd take a look if they survived the Christmas test. Now that GNI has changed its terms however, I will be waiting to see which ones survive without changing theirs... yes I always suspect piggybacking in these cases.

If anything comes across as an easy earner for the most passive member, or something so good we just cannot pass it up AND it isn't too complicated and time-consuming, I promise you will be the first to know! Until then, I'm sticking with my robots and GNI.

So... there you have it, the year in review! Let's have 2010 be a prosperous one!
Thank you very much for sticking with me,

Suzanna
