Important news from SQIP.  There is a change in terms and if you wish to gain the most from this program you will want to pay attention to the latest information posted in the SQIP back office. They are eliminating the PEPs and the referral program from what I gather from this. Some will be happy, while others will be not, I imagine.

Please note: Our new FTS2.0 Program will be online very soon. The new program will replace the current Member Reward Program.
During the 1st week in October PEPs end. This means an end to free, rewarded and Booster PEPs. You will no longer need to use a referral link as the Equity Groups will also come to an end.
If you have a minimum of 103 PEPs you will qualify for the equity buy back. You still have time to purchase a Booster package to assure that you qualify. You can also refer 3 new members before the cut off point to qualify.
You have until the 1st Oct to get qualified. When you qualify you will continue to see your PEP value increase.
FTS2.0 will have its own back office where you can track all your profits. The original back office will still be online so you can track your equity growth.
Full details on the new FTS2.0 Program will be posted soon.

If you feel comfortable with buying a few PEPs then go ahead and do so.  I think it is worth it and the FTS2.0 seems to have loads of “potential” for us.

Cheers,

Gene

As promised I have updated the “Free” items page Win-Free-Stuff which as things such as win a free car, several of those, cash, travel etc. I decided to leave it all on one page for now.  Most are Canadian contests however I will add some other things there as well, hoping to add some USA items, contests etc.  Time, time, time.  Where do you go time?

Toyota is one brand, Lexus, Smart Cars (Mercedes-Benz), Chevrolet hybrids also.  Some travel rewards, win a vacation or cruise or a trip to New Zealand.

I have not abandoned the money making programs, make money online etc.

However as  mentioned before I have curtailed many of those programs.  I did get paid by AdShares4u this week. Do not forget to surf your 70 sites a week before the deadline on Saturday midnight Eastern I believe it is.

Affordable Affiliates is supposed to get their software launched this week.  I believe that one will work out after they get everything recorded and I hear that is progressing very well.

One of my fellow SQIP-ers has said Christian told her that they hope to have the FTS system redone this coming Friday.  Some have high hopes that will produce well for us. If you are a member of SQIP kindly add me as a friend in there. I am createwaves. On Twitter, I am creativewaves.

I have no idea what is delaying Me2Everyone. many companies have trouble getting software developed on time.  That is taking along time but they do have ambitious plans along with SQIP. So hoping for the best for those two programs. Some like Affordable Affiliates are starting to go the in-house route and hiring their own programmers.

I am also expanding into other things but will let that be for now. Time to relax for a little bit on the bridge to nowhere. Kind of reminds me of the Beatle’s song Nowhere Man.

Ok, I could not resist that one, so here by popular demand is Nowhere Man!

Cheers,

There is a change in Ad-Flasher terms and this does not look good, certainly no longer attractive for most people to participate just to watch those ads and hope to get paid. This is a drastic change in terms and questions as to whether they will pay the pending payments. Not something I would suggest to anyone at this point.  In fact this is now something I would say to avoid.

They do say “Withdrawals are currently being paid via Alertpay.”  Minimum withdrawal still shows as being $30.00

Buy A Premium Membership

Upgrading your account allows you to receive Ad Views with a higher priority than standard members. The price is $60.00 per year. Each week our system will distribute Ad Views to all of our members. Upgraded members will receive them first, with any remaining Ad Views being distributed to our free members.

Each completed Ad View will earn you $0.10 and the earnings will be available immediately. These earnings will not be held as pending.

Important Things To Note:

• The system will begin allocating Ad Views on or before 09/27/2009
• Your Premium membership is valid for exactly 1 year
• We guarantee you will earn a bare minimum of $120.00 in return earnings
• If you do not receive $120.00 in earnings, even if it’s 1 cent less, your membership will be continued another year for no charge
• The system will allocate Ad Views each week. Depending on volume, every member may not receive Ad Views each week.

I have updated some of the programs on the Current Opportunities page, mostly removing a number of older opps or ones that no longer fit for one reason or another. If in doubt just check with me on them before proceeding. Yes, I know there are not many. There are lots out there, most are just more of the same old stuff.

You will note the absence of the autosurfs and by autosurfs I mean ones that you put some change into them and hopefully make money on them. The current crop seem to be instituting the 50/50 rule which ensure longevity for most but greatly extends the time period in which you can make any money. Breakeven is about 14 weeks or so.  So I am not that enthusiastic about them. That 50/50 rule is usually put into effect to prevent the hit and runners from making a quick buck and moving on to the next opp.

I do not see much happening in Me2Everyone and SQIP as of late. Since they are both giving away shares or PEPs for free there is no harm in joining them.  If they reach their goals we will all win.

Affordable Affiliates is getting close to the upgrade of the site and adding more information, inventory and sales to our positions. They have stopped taking in funds until the web site is updated with all the figures.   This one could work out well for us with the sales of real items based upon merchandise being bought and sold.  This is also free to join and check out especially the video that is on the site.  They also have a forum to keep up to date.  They even post their address, some members have gone there and have seen the goods:

5728 175 St
Surrey, BC
Canada.

They are working on getting audited statements and are also working with the BCSC, BC Securities Commission to ensure compliance.  They have also hired legal counsel with Canadian/US expertise.

Here is an item for sale for $99 Canadian, a clock, art nouveau style.

Getting back to the autosurfs, one mentioned previously has been AdShares4u and they have updated some of the schedule which I am reproducing here:

AdShares4U Weekly Schedule

:. New Surfing Week begins Monday and End On Saturday

:. Sunday – Revenue Sharing Rebates Distributed

:. Monday – Cashout Button open for Both Rebate and Commission Withdrawals

:. Tuesday – Auto Roll Over Of Rebates and Commissions

I will sign off for now and wish you the best day or night you can have, enjoy!

Cheers,

Gene

Just a quick update on Adshares4u to let you know I did receive the funds for my first withdrawal.

I was going to add an incentive for those joining me but have reconsidered and may do that with something else in the future. It takes 14 weeks I am told do get into profit with these things. That is way too long for most.

NOTE: See the post before considering Ad-Flasher as they have changed the terms considerably.

Ad-Flasher Changes

I did join Adflasher which advertises you can make up to $15 an hour. You get 0.75 added to your account to join and test it out then to get the max benefit you need to add $15 to your account let it mature for $30 after doing about an hour a day using their procedure.

I will post detailed instructions afterwards if anyone is interested.  I am not sure I like this but you may try it.  It did not work so well on my computer and they are a bit overloaded now.  Reports are that they do pay.

If you use firefox browser or other mozilla type browsers you can download something called Noscript to help protect your computer from un-trusted sites. You can get a free open source plug-in to add to your browser. “Allow active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS and Clickjacking attacks.”

When I logged into my Adshares4U account today I noticed I had received 14% return in my account.  Membership has zoomed to over 2100 already and it only started Sept 1, 2009 so that is looking very good.  Free to signup and check it out and place some of your programs into rotation.  It is being heavily promoted so hopefully it will be around for some time.  Always make sure you get back your seed funds.  They also have a 50/50 rule to avoid the hit and runners.

There is also a tier referral commission structure should you want to refer although that is not necessary to earn.  Also you need to surf only 70 sites a week and you can do it in one day if you want or do some each day.  You decide!

Like me many are wondering what is going on with SQIP.  Well it looks like they are getting closer to bringing in the new FTS system.  I am not sure when that will be, hopefully sooner rather than later.  I have been discussing a few things with support and managed to talk with the co-founder, Christian, via email.

I asked some questions regarding the multiple choices for income and also about some being anxious about not getting updates etc.

I will post that information on the updates pages. Please Go Here For The SQIP Update and my discussions with the co-founder.

He mentioned a large figure for probable income potential  No need for me to put that here.    Some interesting information he passed along to me and you will want to keep up on it. Make sure if you are in this to get a signup or two in place as this will enhance your position as well as give you more options going forward.  Free to join so no harm in passing it along to a friend.

One important note for ICF members, they have completely changed the structure to a more active one for members requiring one signup every six months.   If you are a member then you have six months to bring in at least one new paying member at whatever level you are on. There is more to it than that, please read the update they sent out and if you have questions contact support.  They have live support Mondays through Fridays on the website.

Cheers,

Gene
