I mentioned previously I had cut back on many of these type of programs and I have for the past couple of years.  The deeper question is more philosophical for me and I would say it is for others even if they do not know it or admit it.  Do you want to continue to play the games that can be questionable or the people behind them?  Are they bored with the crap they are promoting or find it it not in congruence with who they really are at a core level?  Are they bored with themselves, life and what they are doing or not doing.   Hey it happens to all of us.   So this is not a judgment and opportunities always exist perhaps not exactly in the same things as in the past.

I will report on what is working for me and usually only that.  I do not believe in crying scam when something does not work out.  It is a waste of time and a waste of energy.  It pays to have some healthy skepticism and that applies to people and programs.

One of the things I cut back on, well almost completely is on surf programs.  Just too many bit the dust quickly and the same for hyips. Still there is always the odd ones that survive and thrive like Ad-Ventures4u.  But I was too bored or turned off to play it even though I put in a few bucks. It has continued to grow.  The money is still there and grown 5 times.  Still, do I recommend it?  No but these things can work well if you play them right.

I have made some funds in PyraBang also.  Is is worth it?  Perhaps but go and check it out for yourself.

Others giving away free shares or PEPs are Me2Everyone and SQIP. Are they worth it?  Perhaps but you can hardly go wrong picking up the free shares can you? 

SQIP announced the end of the free shares May 24, 2009 so get in now. They will still have a good program afterwards.   SQIP free shares are now worth 58 Euros so why pass that up.  The prices goes up weekly.

There are a few other programs mentioned before that are still going. So look up some of the previous posts.  I will update them again one day and yes there are more that have worked for me.

The last one I will mention today is ICF World Homes.  That continues to pay and I am very pleased I joined it.  The announced a new master card, really a debit card to pay folks, especially the internationals.   That is a positive step to getting paid worldwide.

If you get real lucky you can end up like this clown and his hummer.  Or is it his hummer?  Hmmmm-er-eh?

Over time, the past couple of years I have gradually reduced my exposure to the many opportunity programs that were prevalent on the net which have proven difficult to make money on and also quite often they have fizzled early or lead people astray.

I do not usually bash them online and I avoid many free things unless it looks very good and I see a way to take advantage of it.  As for the bashers and scam busters, there are some good bloggers out there who will do that for you, so you can watch for them if you want. Just beware of self interests as most have that. I do not think anyone is immune from that, including me.

I will not pretend to know everything and that I am an expert on this or that even though I may have some experience which I may mention from time to time.  You must do some due diligence as well especially if you are going to put out some of your own funds into something.

I prefer to present things in a positive vein and concentrate on what I believe will work for me and others. I tend to look at it from an energy point of view and to me, as we are all energy, this makes sense.

This week I have received some payments flowing in from People Search and also US Free Ads.  US Free Ads I have mentioned before as a good way to promote your web sites, opportunities and also buy or sell anything.  They also have a site for jeeps, called Jeep Classifieds.

People Search – Free Search For Someone as a feature to search for someone you may have lost touch with or for whatever reason you have for doing so.

These sites are free so take advantage of that, I do suggest.  You can make some cash on the free programs if you pick the right ones and do a bit of promoting or whatever it takes to make them work for you. I try to pick the right ones and I am quite careful not to just join anything.  Check the free advertising resource links at the top of this blog.

On another note, SQIP has launched their portal.  Now you can log in and check it out, there is a massive amount of information still to come, multiple streams of income opportunities which will be released over time.  So continue to join free, get 100 free Peps and watch the price go up as it has quite often of late.    New payment options are being introduced giving more ways to receive the income when it starts to flow back to us.

js has updated my blog banner on his blog, so thanks js. He liked the seagull one, I was kind of partial to the people, seawall mountain one myself.  I may look at designing others in the future.  I need one for the creative waves blog as I have posted quite a few digital photos over there from some recent outings.   I may rename that one also.  I am mulling that over.

I also mentioned that iblog disappeared, well they are still there sort of but our blogs are not.  (Winning Notes blog) It seems they are under new ownership and will make a comeback.  Who knows what that will mean?  Kind or made a monkey out of all their bloggers over there by disappearing like that.

Ok, will leave you with a little bit of beauty I found in my world today.  Kind of like easy ways to enjoy life and nature.

Cheers,

I am going to put a couple of the free share offerings under this page and will do updates under each. To start with there will be SQIP and Me2Everyone.

More details will be had by clicking their individual links and following them the updates there. I will be back to add those links after I have created them.  Look for the link to these at the top of this blog entitled Free Shares.

Both are going to launch shortly and by the time you read this, they may have already done so as it is quite close to fruition.

At the very least I strongly recommend that you sign up for the free version to check them out and get ready to reap the rewards they offer.

Getting back to the banners I created using my photos, here is another to consider. It is kind of serene. Too serene? Not enough splash and dash? Well I prefer less, less is more, you know.

May peace and good fortune be with you today and everyday.

Cheers,

To those gathered here today, here is a special announcement.  Not to worry, well not that you would be worried, I am not dead, yet.  More about that coming to the creativewaves blog soon.  Maybe.

I posted some news to Alerts list and to the yahoo groups.  It concerned a old, and I mean really old in today’s mac attack scheme of things,program.  The program was AVIC or A.V.I.C and the possibility of refunds.  We shall see. I’ve heard that before.  So I guess there is some life left, or hope perhaps.

I got paid by MyNetWealthTeam today for some commissions that were due awhile back.  Thanks Thomas.

ICF World Homes came through with some gain share I mentioned earlier and reports of many getting paid both Canadian and international members on time this month so it looks like they are certainly improving that.  It has been one of their stated goals for some time now. So now I have a feeling I should redo that web site bringing it current as there had been many changes back awhile.

Actually, the gain share has been increasing as they said it would with the new fees instituted earlier this year. The main site has been updated and has lots of information, FAQ etc.  Please check that out if you have not done so and get back to me with any questions you may have.

ICF is really paying off for me and an easy way to getting your payments paid for you for a small amount down and building towards your dream home or cashing in when the time is right.

I am still quite busy offline and have not had much time to review many programs of late.  Many that I do see I do not like anyway. Too much of the same old.

Anyway who is good with banners, my offer still stands for a 125 x 125 banner and also a 468 x 60.

I have a position in Ad-venture-4-U up for sale.  It is worth $35.  Let me know if you want it.  I may even give it away or trade it for something.

SQIP says a report and the portal is going to be released shortly maybe within the day or so

Here are a couple of “love” birds just enjoying the Olympic mountains across the pond.

A few updates today.  My Music Ticket has a call tonight and it is expected to announce the launch details. “Official Launch date is Monday, April 13, 2009 at 9 AM EST”

9PM EST/6PM PST

Dial: (712) 432-1000  Access Pin: 517 104 220#

OR:  (712) 432-1001  Access Pin: 474 917 942#

They changed the structure and placement is not going to be made ahead of time.  Leaders will be notified by their uplines and then they will pass the url along.  It will be a mad rush I suppose as anyone wanting to get into the first 10,000 and get to share in the profit pool without having to qualify has to join right away and pay $59.95 via credit card.  Depending upon when I get it I will decide what to do at that time.  I will post it here as soon as I can.  That is the plan for now. Chances are early members will do well especially with some promoters over top of them.  Anyway that is the theory.

Affordable Affiliates have plans in the works to get the program more in tune with the software enhancements making sure everything will run smoothly from that perspective.  You can still join free and then decide if you want to upgrade via Solid Trust Pay or Alert Pay.  No more PayPal. I know I have seen some adjustments in totals for downline members so it is being worked on.  There is a Affordable Affiliates Blog Update.

If you are a member of Me2Everyone they continue to work on the project and it continues to look good,  see the news in the back office.  Still free shares available so get them now as the get more and more members the free shares allotted drop in numbers. I received some bonus shares this week for members who purchased some Ripple Effect units earlier on.

Same for SQIP, which has increased in value a couple of times of late.  You join free and get instant value for those shares.

You also get bonus shares if you bring in others to both SQIP & Me2Everyone.

cheers,

Are you confused about how to make money on the net?  Are those other bloggers giving you are hard time? Be careful.

The waters are murky and sometimes beneath the surface they be lurky. Ok, poems do not have to make sense.  Bob Zimmerman or Lennie Cohen or even Leif It To The Beefer.

If you are a member of Me2Everyone make sure you log in and check the news as it is flowing.  That looks like it is going to be a very successful venture.  I think they said they have 330,000 members already and we get to share in the revenues.  Awesome I say, what do you say?

They are still giving away free shares in Me2Everyone and also SQIP, so grab them now.

This will be covered - “how you can make money from me2everyone!”

“Me2everyone has recently increased spending on the website by 400% and we are working with a team in India and also a full-time team in Gran Canaria – people I have worked with for the past 10 years.”

“HOW DO MEMBERS MAKE MONEY?

Ok… me2everyone will be a social network with some killer features. It’s aimed at entertaining its members and also in creating a framework for business. Over the next 3 years it will become a place on the web where you can do many things and we will explore these over the next couple of weeks.”

And more news in there, that is just a sample.

Ok and pop over to Creative Waves to check out the latest posts, War Sucks, Did they Die in Vain and Do You Know This Person?  There may be a prize for the best answer. No guarantees, I will think on it.  Only one person made a guess over there, silly though as she thought it may be her.  I think Carley Simon wrote a song about that!  Ha ha You’re So Vain or something like that.  I think she has been talking to that other blogger guy.  What’s his name?  Hmmm, that will come later.  We have to leave some suspense to fill up the virtual wave lengths.

cheers,

genes easy ways and waves

P.S. No more clues, unless you beg me. Hmmmmmm.  Begging.  I like that.  Shhhhhhhhhhh. Hi Honey, Are you there yet?

DO?

P.S.S  Pay no attention to the blogger who says the other bloggers are crooks. It is a trap. Open wide and start gulping for air. I smell peanut butter on your breath.

Hi folks.

Man Dies And Finds Unique Way To Deal With Death

The post on my death yesterday has generated a huge volume of response.  So huge, in fact, I cannot find it.  I will have more on that but will post it on the creativewaves blog.  If and when I make it over there.  Well I am sure I will.   I have come up with a unique way to deal with death.  Is it the final solution?  I could answer that but not now and not here.  We will see.

I was going to mention the state of affairs of the programs on the internet and did not have time the morning I was going to do that.  Checking some of the other bloggers that day, I noticed the very same day Lydia, of Serenity’s House of Opportunity did a bit about this very same thing. So I just let it go.  Coincidence?  Well not really, we are all one, part of the oneness of it all.

This will be a short update on a few programs in process.  I like to call them ventures if they are designed to last a long time.  That can be a tough call as many are not.  It seems that is the nature of these things.

Long Term Ventures:

Me2Everyone: Still looks good and you can still get free shares, the # of free shares drop due reaching certain membership levels.

SQIP: Also looking good.  Price gained went up 20% on March 14, 2009 just as they said it would.  Free shares still available so grab them as they are worth even more now.

Both SQIP and Me2Everyone have big plans for their communities so be sure to keep checking your back office for the latest news.

New and possible Long Term Ventures:

Affordable Affiliates: I cannot classify this as a legitimate long term venture as it is new and they have been inundated with new members and are automating the system to accommodate the increased membership. Someone actually posted a comment here and bashed these people and the folks promoting AA which I approved them removed.  It was all speculation and just bashing with certain words all capitalized with no real facts in the content.  Anyone can do that with most any program and there are forums for that.

Top Ten Affiliates in Affordable Affiliates:

Aaron and Shara 370 Ken Russo 303 Clay Montgomery 268 Synergy Global Ventures 258 Peter Bennett 188  Chris Bell 174 Wayne Nash 139 Suzanna Dreyer 112 Elisabeth Cole 92  Terry Gilder 85

The number after their names are their total signups and they will receive 5% of the referrers contributions in the program. That will be massive on the top affiliates.

Other News and Programs:

I participated in a program called Fast Profit Powerlines which I introduced to folks who subscribed to my Alerts List (see link at the top of this site to sign up) as well as to the Yahoo groups I administer.  Following the numbers cycling it looks like my upline, LS, is about to cycle if she has not done so already. Spillover is happening and quite nicely, as anyone joining after you will help push you along.

I have a ways to go yet and many who signed up under me are very close to me in the paid section so most will cycle at the same time or shortly after.  It is an interesting concept and hopefully we will do well in it.  There is not a huge incentive for getting signups ($1 when they cycle I believe it is) but it does help move the line so that is the main thing anyway.  Referral fees should never form the basis for what we join or do.  That is how I feel, anyway.  The big list owners do quite well and you should be diligent about what you join, for sure.

Pyrabang numbers continue to grow also. If you are into networking you may wish to join Net Millionaires Club to network with others.  If so please add me as a friend.  You pay nothing to join and can post photos, blog posts, videos etc. I delete anyone from my friends list there is they spam me too much.  You have to accept a certain amount of emails from your “friends”.  I have close to 200 friends now over there.

My Net Wealth Team owes me a payment.  Thomas says he is low on STP.  I say get some and pay me.  He is a program owner, he knows the rules.  They take our money quickly so they should do the right thing when it is time to pay us.  I don’t want to bash the program itself as it has been kind to me overall.

Ok, this short update is overflowing so I am going to sign off for now.

Enjoy your day and may success, good health and love be with you.

Cheers,

I am a bit under the weather of late so if this gets a bit negative, well that happens sometimes.  Plus I am also busy offline these days.

Back to the price increase you win, say what? Normally when prices go up that is not such a good thing, except for things like the stock market and other such stuff.   Of course that is what we are banking on with things like Me2Everyone and SQIP. As you likely know both are giving away free shares. SQIP had a value of .10 Euros late last year and started off early this year with a .25 Euro valuation.

SQIP announced a price increase to .30 Euros effective March 14th, 2009 so that means if you hold some of the free shares the price will go up and if you bought more via their special offers that valuation also increases.  They still have some special deals on so at the very least pick up the free shares. They also have a referral program and pay down 5 levels.

They are looking at developing over 80 income streams and once the site goes live they have plans on paying dividends. I am not going to go into that right now but this could be substantial and the more shares you have the more income will come and they plan to pay it monthly

Important: If you are planning to purchase some SQIP shares, do so before the price increase is my suggestion.

Me2Everyone also could become a big winner, membership now exceeds 250,000 and that means something for the future and what they plan on building. We got in for free and you still can do so.

I am getting a lot of free hits making bangs (posts) in PyraBang.  So you may want to try that.  WordPress blog owners may want to look into Tweet My Blog.  So you can use it in conjunction with Twitter.  They say it can drive massive amounts of traffic.  I signed up to check it out.

With regards to Affordable Affiliates I am a bit uneasy, not about the program itself, some of the blogger and heavy hitters have jumped in and swamped them with share volume.  They have hired more people; still it could take some time for them to work out the logistics of this thing.  I would be inclined to stop signups for awhile and deal with the volume and then once they get it working they can bring it back.  In any case we will see how they do. I still like the concept.

To anyone out there who has trouble sleeping, this video, Brahms Lullaby, brings back some memories for me of my children.  This is a cool version of it with a saxophone. So I hope you enjoy this.

SQIP Reminder, Monthly Subscription ending Feb 28th as is the Paypal option.

You still get FREE 100 Shares For Signing up.

The Current Bonus Offer is:

Matching PEP bonus: 10% on orders of 10 to 99 Euros. 25% on orders of 100 to 499 Euros.& 50% on 500 to 1999 Euros. 100% on 2000 Euros or more.

You can purchase for as little as 10 Euros or 20 Euros on subscription

You can Go Here to listen to an audio version.

Some Important SQIP Notes:

PayPal: we will stop offering this payment option on Saturday 28th. The reason is that there is too much admin involved and the time frames in getting the funds over to Towah are too long to sustain our commitment to paying weekly cash commissions.

For monthly payment subscriptions: if you have this set up already with Pay Pal you can leave it as it is and let it continue for the six months.

Buying PEPs: From Saturday this will be done ONLY via credit card or from funds on your Towah account.

Creating your Towah account is instant and funding it takes only a few days via bank transfer.

Please keep in mind that having a Towah account is the only way to receive your cash commission and PEP dividends. You have 24/7 access to your account and do instant loads to your Towah MasterCard to withdraw cash in your local currency or use the card to go shopping. You can also transfer funds to any bank account even if it is not your own bank account. This is a simple online process that takes less than 2 minutes to do.

Monthly Payments: this option will end on Saturday 28^th. We will not accept any new monthly subscriptions from then.

Existing subscriptions will be allowed to continue for their duration.

PEPs are going fast and will run out quicker than expected. We all thought it would take until the summer before the PEPs allocated  would be gone. But it is happening much  quicker

The PEPs allocated will be gone by the end of March or sooner and we have to decide if we are going to allocate more of the company equity to allow more PEPs to be offered or just close the stakeholder program to new members.

We have not made that decision yet and probably will not be able to make it until we see what our projected capital needs are in relation to projected revenues from the income streams.

You have nothing to be concerned about re your potential income as an affiliate because the services and products we will be offering will be in demand.

The SQIP Online Portal is coming.

We are working to bring the portal on line by this time next week and we know that all of you…sceptics and believers alike will have a wonderful jaw dropping experience when you discover just how much is packed in there….and this will be just the beginning with so much more being developed, tweaked & added over the coming weeks and months.

Don’t delay or you will miss out on this special deal.

Cheers,

genes easy ways
