Connecting Us All

This is a new program that was recommended to me through a friend.

It's called Connecting Us All.

Yes, it is a gifting program. Having tried one or two that did not follow through, I had been looking for one that I would be not only happy to participate in, but also feel comfortable telling others about.

This is such a program.

A couple things right off the start made it so I wanted to know more:

- For one, it is completely legal.
Seems funny that I should mention this or make a big deal of it, and unfortunately, too many of these sites come up short on that end. How do I know? Because the founders of the program sent out letters to a bunch of athorney generals, explaining what they were doing and inviting them to review the program.

- Second, it is really about helping others.
Most programs come off way to "flashy" or have that certain "instant-online-success" hype that I find such a turn off, and that for most people (myself included), raises red flags of potential scam.

There are several aspects to this program and you can choose which to participate in.
1. Social Networking for connecting with others.
2. The Giving Tree where people and organizations may post any want or need for the community to give,unconditionally.
3. The Giving Pool where you choose to unconditionally bless others.

What I highly recommend you do is check out the site and take the time to read and listen to the videos, so that you get a complete picture of what goes on and what is possible:

Go to: http://greentree.connectingusall.org

Then sign up as a f.re.e member to learn more about the site.
Pick the first level of gifting ($20) and get started as soon as you are comfortable with it.

note: Ignore the $16 membership for now. You can choose this option later on once you learn where that money goes (I'll go into that on a later post) and the benefits of doing so.

More to come, stay tuned ...

Still Around

Yes, I'm still around, though I had to take a break from all online programs out of pure frustration and disgust. As it is, I am deleting accounts into various programs that ended sitting there with no results whatsoever.

As for this blog, I'm still condensing to a very few selected programs. Only the ones that work, only the ones I truly believe in. Not to say I'm right on anything, off course.

Here is a little summary of programs staying in the game:

Two that bring in regular payments:

1. NineLevels - actually received an automatic payment from them this morning. This one's a keeper. Runs by itself without my help whatsoever.

2. Bux-Matrix - another one that send me regular emails letting me know my downline is growing. Slowly but surely. Also a keeper.

Two Subscriptions I'm keeping because the programs are growing:

1. OneTeam2x2 - monthly. This is slowly but surely growing. I actually see new downline now, in addition to my own positions, which is great news indeed. That means every month these folks add a new position with their subscriptions, adding to my own downline and earnings. Easy.

2. AdvertiseToEarn - every 2 month. Advertise your link to earn points and free additional positions.

Two staying because I still have faith:

1. JustBeenPaid - hmm... disappointing somewhat. Keeping it for now because despite it all, I really believe this is a good program. If only people would upgrade.... the age old dilemna. It only works if people see it through and make that step, unfortunately, people sign up and then think it's all going to fall into their lap without having to lift a finger. Sorry folks. It NEVER works that way -in anything.

Though a good idea on the programer's part, the purchased referrals are not coming through. It's back to referring your own, and if you do, if can be very good indeed. Too bad really, I liked the idea of helping folks out with purchasing referrals if they themselves could not bring people in.

This would be a very good candidate for a Pay It Forward approach.

2. Fortune 5 Minutes - I have not done anything with this at all! I got in through a supposedly team build group who turned out to have a lot of in-house dispute and nothing went anywhere. I still have the position and do not plan on cancelling it. F5M is one of the most long lived program on the net, and one of the most respected. Joining through a team back when I first started looking into online programs, I thought I'd get some help moving up...

So why am I keeping it? Because of this program's reputation, and because I do want to get into advertising or promoting this program in some way. Also a very good candidate for Pay It Forward approach. This would help get people in and moving throught the levels.


Ok, that's good for now.

I'm going to be lazy and not go through to add all the program links. See side panels.

Back soon with more.
Feel free to share your impressions.

So Many Too Many

I get way too many emails promoting this or that new "get in NOW or miss out" type hype... I'm tired of all the scams and programs playing on people's emotions. Times are hard. A lot of people are hurting. These emails just play on that borderline desperate need to find something that works.

For my part I am sending a lot of these said emails to the spam folder. Enough already.
I've got my few programs that I check in on. Every so often I might try a new one after I've read several positive comments about it in other blogs, or if it comes directly from someone I know. That's it.

So let's look at a few.

Right now Bux-Matrix is working just fine. No earth shattering earnings, but hey, steady and realiable, as mentioned in previous post. I've been paid several times with this one and use it as advertisment.

NineLevels is coming along. That Profit Sharing is up a few more pennys (hey, at least it's getting there) -and that much closer to payment.

JustBeenPaid is a bit disappointing in that people are not upgrading as much as they should, though I still have 2 purchased referrals to be delivered, so I'm still feeling good about it.

Oh yes, here's another that seems to be doing it's own slow and steady thing, and that's OneTeam2by2. One of the few programs that you can actually put on automatic and forget about it -contrary to what a lot of site say. Just got some spillover recently.

KaskKwik... hmm.. the jury is still out on this one. I guess a few members must have cancelled because the doubling of the membership did not happen as far as I can tell. There are 4002 members as of this writing. This should be over 5000 by now, if most people had acquired their second position. Only time will tell.

Lastly for today, I had recently got into RockSolidFunds just in time to get emails from admin that they had just had over $5000 stolen from their PP... great... what can you do? Apparently it was taken from the LR, so AP should be ok, which is what I used. I'll let it build up to a few dollars and make a whithdrawal, to see if payments are made. (I'll add a link once I receive payment).

It is what it is. One can only smile and move on.

I am looking into a couple gifting activities. If interested, you'll have to contact me with a request of info as I won't be posting that on here... or request to be added to my private list.

Planting The Veggies

This weekend has been a major veggie planting endeavor. I figure we should be safe now as far as frost of other destructive weather. Ha!.

*****
I got another payment from Bux-Matrix recently. This little program has turned out to be steady and reliable. I can't remember how long I've been in this one now, but it's been a while certainly. Every so often, I get a payment received email. Kinda nice.

*****
Ok, let's look at some of the big ones:

Referrals are signing up in JustBeenPaid but not upgrading... why is that???!!!... It seems to me a fairly straight forward system. Sign up, upgrade, purchase a couple referrals and advertise as you wish. As you yourself get referrals under you, they will pass up their 3rd and every 10th referrals thereafter to you, thus growing your downline and earnings. Don't know, seemed like a good thing to me. So sign up already! Allright? Allright. (sigh)
All joking aside, I do think this is a good one. I've received 1 out of 3 of my purchased referrals so far, and I've got a bunch of folks that came through my link and are waiting to make up their mind.

moving on...

*****
The membership in KashKwik is now at 4098. I've cycled once so far and have a few referrals. Hopefully everyone will cycle this month. That would be great -for me and all you guys who signed up under me. :)

Someone left me a comment on the last post saying it's a scam. All I can say is I've cycled once and I'm willing to ride it a bit longer to see where it leads.

*****
Everytime I log into my NineLevels account the profit sharing is up a little bit more... LOL, taking a while but getting there.
I do recommend this one. All you have to do is read through some of my past post.
And since it's been a while, here's my strategy in 5 steps:
1. Purchase you Main position, #1 ($9.99).
2. Purchase first level under that one, or 3 more: #2,3,4.
3. Wait for your Profit Sharing (150%). Payments are automatic every $5 -no need to do anything.
4. Every other Profit Sharing payment (or every $10 received), purchase another matrix position.
5. Keep ALL Matrix earnings.

That strategy is very simple, and if you do the math, you'll see it is a winning strategy for everyone involved: Yourself and your Downline.

*****
A couple smaller, mostly passive programs:
- now one position shy of cycling into stage 2 in OneTeam2by2.
- received 4 FREE positions in AdvertisetoEarn.

That's it for today!
It's beautiful. Hope you're spending time outside! :D
