5. If you want more credits, you can always buy them from $10 for 2000 credits, thus 0.005c per credit.

What is the effects of using JustRetweet?

1. I'm learning more on Twitter now than ever before, because I'm actually reading other peoples' posts now. In the past, I scanned a few Tweets until I got one that looked decent, then went to the link to see if it's Retweet material and then Retweeted it. Now that I can earn credits for retweeting I open way more links, to see if the content is acceptable for my followers. You wont believe it, but there is actually great content out there, which you can use and it gets stored in your Twitter account after you retweeted it. It's like adding great sites to your favorites. Amazing.
2. Your followers and potential followers will like that you retweet, that you are active and that you tweet great content. This will increase your followers. I've also noticed that some of the people who's tweets I retweeted, started to follow me and there are big guns in there.
3. I got more Retweets in two week than in the previous 2 months. The result was that I got more traffic to my blog and websites. Most members of Just Retweet has got thousands of followers. Say you got only 240 credits and ask for Retweets at 40 credits each; it equals 6 Retweets. If the average followers per member is 2000, then your Tweet will be sent to 12000 followers. Not to bad for 20 minutes' reading.
4. You can buy 200 followers for $10 or even 2000 followers for $65, by buying credits and asking people to follow you for 10 credits.
5. Twitter sends you a report each week on your progress and due to JustRetweet, my latest reports looks way better than before. This gives you an energy boost like you wont believe.

There's even more:

1. You can become a guest blogger on JustRetweet and create even more traffic to your Blog or Website.
2. Their is an Affiliate Program where you can get up to 30% commission for any sales you make on their featured or credit packages.

I give it a 9 out of 10 and support it fully.

Ad Click Xpress Review

In short, I strongly suggest you stay away from Ad Click Xpress. One of the marketers that convinced me to join ACX, when it was still called Just Been Paid, has more than $100,000 in her ACX account, but can't withdraw a cent. I only invested a small amount, but have the same problem. I can't withdraw, unless I invest more. Really?

Today, I did a quick check on ScamAdvisor.com and wasn't surprised to see that ACX got a 0% trustrating. Please note, that some sites will give good reviews on products, just to intercept you as their referal and get commission from your investment. Always double check with a site like ScamAdvisor. They don't profit from dishonest reviews.

ACX, started out as "Just Been Paid" and was owned by Frederick Mann. Some people believe this is just a fictitious person. Anyway, it was doing very well and people were making money like crazy. It went viral and ranked under 300 on Alexa in no time. Then Frederick sold the site, which then became known as "Profit Clicking". This was the time when I joined.

There were obviously some "teething problems", but we were assured by daily emails that things would be back to normal in no time. Withdrawal was a problem, but deposits were excepted with no resistance. Almost every country had their own representative, which kept me positive. I contacted our representative and he convinced me that I don't have to worry, because he also invested a substantial amount in JBP.

I decided not to invest more, until I was able to make a withdrawal. This was a very frustrating time. You had two choices: 1) place your withdrawal in a queue, which according to them would take longer than the manual 2) Green Light System. 

The green light system determined when it was possible to transfer funds from Profit Clicking to your payment processor. I remember sitting in front of my PC for the whole day and when my processor was eventually opened (for 2 minutes) the program froze. I was not a happy chappy. Needless to say, not one of the two choices paid out a dime.

In the meantime, Profit Clicking, changed owners again and became Ad Click Xpress.

There marketing team deserves a thumbs up though. To get people still interested after all the bad reviews must be some kind of feat. Their banners and marketing tools are top notch and they look very professional. Why not use these skills for a good cause?

They claim that only 2% of online marketers make money and that their system guarantee a 100% success rate. Here in South Africa, we currently got a 0% success rate with ACX, formerly known as Profit Clicking, formerly known as Just Been Paid.

I rate ACX 0 out of 10. Don't get hooked into their smooth marketing tactics. If this was not your experience, I would love to hear your comment.

Can You make a Living with Online Gambling?

There are people who claim that they make $500 per day with Online Casino's. I have never personally met or spoke to these people. In fact, I was introduced to Online Casino's through a Facebook Ad, where the advertiser claimed that you could make these amounts of money.

As you know me by now, I was very intrigued, but very careful. You know the saying: "When it's to good to be true... " I never liked gambling that much to start with, because the odds are stacked heavily against you. I'm 42 and can't think that I have spent more than $200 on gambling, in my entire life.

I was hoping that just maybe the online part could be different and the advertiser somehow knew that. In Casino's, you are not allowed to double up your bet, but with online gambling, you can get away with it, if you are careful, according to this person.

For those of you who don't know what "double up" means; let me explain. Say for instants you play Roulette. On the table, you can choose between black or red. If you choose black and the ball lands on a number with a black background, you get your money back, plus the same amount from the dealer. Obviously if it lands on red, you loose your money. If you just play black and red, the odds of winning or losing big is small.

Double up is a mathematical system that guaranties a win. If you play $1 on red, but the ball lands on black, you loose $1 and must now bet $2 on red again. If it lands on black, you loose your $2 ($3 in total) and must now bet $4 on red again. The odds of the ball landing on black again are getting smaller and smaller. Very soon it's got to fall on red. You just got to continue doubling up, until you win. Say the next ball falls on red. You win $4 and make a profit of $1 after 3 rounds.

The advertiser, advise that, for the casino's not get suspicious, you must play other games, like Black Jack and Poker, as well, so to lose some money and not to draw attention.

Like I said, I decided to do my due diligence before making my "first million". I opened an excel sheet and worked out the odds of getting one color streaks. For example: What's the odds of getting 6 reds in a row? I did this, because if you double up your money, you soon get to huge amounts. If you start with 1 and double up, this is what you get. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096,... If you only got $250 to play with a 9 streak would be detrimental.

Fortunately for me, these casino's have practice tables. I tested my streak theory and it's odds. My theory calculated that 1 in every 512 rounds there would be a 9 streak. I tested my theories over 1000 rounds and would you believe it, I got the 9+ steak 5 times, making my odds even worse.

These online casino's have a placing limit of approximately $1000 so I could only double up to 9 times. Needless to say, I didn't make any money with the practice tables. In fact, I lost quite a bit and wasted hours of my time. Investing money wasn't going to change the odds. So I decided to look elsewhere for a online income. (See my next article)

I rate Online Gambling 1 out of 10, because you will eventually loose your money and a recurring monthly income is impossible. If you differ, don't be shy. I would love to hear your side of this review.

Are Paid Surveys a Waste of Your Time?

Can You make a living participating in Online Paid Surveys?

Yes, you can make money with these surveys, but I don't recommend you leave your day job for it. Most of the survey sites is for US & UK citizens only, so if you're from any other country, you will struggle to get regular invites to surveys.

Even if you are from US & UK, the compensation are very low for the time spend doing it. Because I'm not from the US or UK, I could only do research on the income they receive and found that the average legit survey pay out $3. Apparently there are numerous scams out there.

What did I do to get to my conclusion?

I can't remember when was the first time I got lured into this opportunity, but I remember the ad had a calculator to show you the potential income you can generate through this business. At about $20 per survey at 5 per day, this was a no brainer. I signed up.

I spend hours filling forms on 20+ sites. Soon I did get surveys, but seldom qualified, thus not making any money in my first month. It was very frustrating, because you fill in the questionnaire to your best and most honest ability for 10 minutes, just to be told, you don't qualify. It was very disappointing.

By the way, don't ever pay for these programs, as you can join each program for free.

For this article, I decided to see if maybe, I missed something previously and signed up to the top 5 Survey sites and this is what happened.

It took me 1 hour, just on one site, to fill in my details, which they need to qualify me for jobs. It was frustrating, but would be worth it if the compensation was right.

Not one of these sites was straight forward with the compensation plan. You earn points, which you can redeem as soon as you built up a certain amount of points. On one site it pays out after 1000 points, which, I figured out after reading the entire FAQ, is equal to $10. 

My first survey was for 30 points and took me 15 minutes. The second was for 15 points and took me 10 minutes. So, to get to 1000 points or $10, I need to complete a further 10+ hours or 50 surveys.

To top it of, I only received these two surveys over a 2 week period on all 5 sites. If you take this into consideration, It'll take me 50 weeks to get to $10.

After joining these 5 sites my spam folder filled up with Casino ads. It could be that they make money of their email marketing list, which is not illegal, but is a bit of a slap in the face.

I personally think it's a waste of time.

I rate Paid Online Surveys at 2 out of 10, because according to rumors there are people making a solid extra income this way. 

Please, if you got any experience on this, give me your honest opinion.

How Profitable is Network Marketing?

Before I answer this question, let me explain the fundamentals of the network marketing system. You can compare the network marketing system to nature's own system. Just look at how a tree-branch divide into sub-branches and repeats this division over and over again. The Type of Tree determines its average life span, its soil and wind conditions, temperature, water and what you feed the tree its strength and look.

People usually compare it to a pyramid, although a conventional company structure looks similar. 

A tree may live up to hundreds of years, depending on the species. It's the same with Network Marketing Companies. You see ones jump up everywhere these days, but every now and again you see ones with age old wisdom and integrity behind it. You know it will be their for centuries to come. The oldest company in the industry is still growing, while big companies close their doors as a result of the recession. I think this answer the question, but lets not stop there.

The Soil, wind, temperature, water and food is how you got signed up, how you handle criticism, your ego, how well you duplicate your upline, how often you use the products, constant education and communication.

Like a tree, some distributors (leaves) break of, to be never seen again. Sometimes, a strong wind breaks of a big branch. If this tree's roots are well developed, it will quickly grow new sprouts. The point I'm trying to make is that a good Network Marketing Company will continuously grow even if there is thousand of quitters each year. It may even look to most people(on the outside) that these companies don't work.

On the other hand, network marketers forget that it's not for everyone, just as a Maths Professor don't want to be a History Professor or hasn't got the same thinking structure. "Thinking" defines the secret to success in Network Marketing(NM). What is the ideal prospect thinking about? If a prospect just started a new job and still loves the boss, there is no way he or she will sign up. A Doctor that works 12 hours a day for an active income, will definitely consider a passive income to generate time.

The stats show that the sign-up rate for the upper income groups are 1:3 and drops to below 1:25 in the <$1000/month income group. I believe the reason for this is 50% mentality and 50% finances.

While I was studying (1991), I had my first introduction (plan) to network marketing. I was fascinated by this system, especially the compensation plan. It was so beautiful and I couldn't wait to share it to the World and make a fortune. I explained the system to 3 people, which said no, so I quit.

In 1993, I got my second glimpse and signed up for that one too. This time I signed up 3 people, but they did nothing and after 1 year I quit. I remember thinking to myself: "NM doesn't work!" This company is still in existence till today.

The fourth NM Company I joined in 2008/2009 opened my eyes completely. It has a education program and are continuously trying to help you to succeed. I realized that to get 3 people to work in the business, I had to sign up 20.

Anyway, getting 20 people wasn't that easy, especially if you have contacted your friends and family before, regarding similar opportunities that didn't end up succeeding, due to me. For some people like myself, the rejection cut through you like a knife. To succeed in NM, you must have a thick skin and a big heart. People that do well in this industry are phenomenal people.

To come back to the question; these people live lifestyles you can only dream of. Going on 5-star paid overseas holidays. They get paid to travel the world and talk at seminars. In 2009, the company I was involved in had 5,000 distributors, earning more than $10,000 passively per month.

My verdict, NM is very profitable and I give it 9 out of 10. If it was for everyone I would have given it a 10.

Ps. Do you want people to come to you? As the world evolve, so does Network Marketing(NM). You can now sign-up and get your training online. You can sign-up people from your email marketing list. You can help your downline in another part of the world, using Skype. I recommend helping your frontline with one frontline. (Keep it to one, you don't want to create yourself a full-time recruiting job.)

Can you make money with HYI (High Yield Investments)?

In 2008/2009 I lost 3 businesses, due to stupid decisions, bad luck and the start of the recession also played it's part. I had a lot of debt and recurring expenses, but the income was gone, so things was getting tighter and tighter.

Eventually, I lost my house and my car. Fortunately, I have a fabulous wife, who still support and love me. Anyway, in 2011, I started to surf the net for ways to make money and was overwhelmed at how many opportunities there were. (I easily trust people.)

I couldn't believe it took me so long to realize this Pot of Gold (Don't laugh.). I needed money quick and was willing to invest. Fortunately, I didn't have much to invest.

I soon got attracted to the High Yield Investment niche. According to my calculation, I was going to be financially free within a year and that with a meager $200 investment spread over 5 HYI programs. I won some and I lost some, but after 6 months I was back to square 1, with my $200 back in my pocket. I didn't make money and didn't lose any. 

It was very exciting, because I was getting experienced now and set up an excel sheet, with programs that looked good, had a good rating with scamadvisor, webutation and other watchdogs. I also checked HYI monitors to see which programs were paying. My system was foolproof and now I was going to make millions online.

Needless to say, a couple of months later, I lost everything. It turns out that 99.9999% of HYI programs close their doors within a year or was a scam to start of with. (This is bad news for all of us who want to make an online income, as people become more skeptical, which influence sales negatively.)

So can you make money from HYI? Yes, if you become a Monitor of HYI programs, because gullible, needy or greedy people, like me, go there to see if a site is paying and end up clicking and signing up through that Monitor. 

The HYI programs pays good commission on referrals, so they make huge amounts just on that and I think some corrupt HYI programs pay only the monitors so that their site shows a positive rating.

You can also benefit through referrals, but do you really want to do that?

If you like to gamble, be my guest, but I won't suggest going this route.
I give HYI 1 out of 10.

The Most Frustrating Form of Advertising

When you start your Online Marketing Career, you're normally looking for ways to supplement your income, broke or close to broke, so what is the first thing you do? You go for free advertising. Most of the more experienced marketers are probably smiling now.

Yes, I did it myself. 

Traffic Exchanges looked so attractive. The more you surf other members' sites, the more they surf yours. I guess, if you surf for 10 hours straight, you could do 1000 hits. I was amazed at all the moneymaking opportunities on these exchanges and I bookmarked plenty of them so I could join later, after I made money from my own product, which never happened.

I sat in my chair for days exchanging and using up all my bandwidth. I even joined several Exchanges and sometimes opened 8 different exchanges on separate tabs, so I could jump from tab to tab and just press next after the allotted viewing time was completed. Thus, increasing my hit rate by eight and ignoring the content of my fellow members' ads.

I believe that people on traffic exchanges are sellers more than they are buyers. Someone call these people, "free-be seekers", but I don't agree completely. My reason was that I had no cash to waste. I knew that Solo Ads was the way to go, but there wasn't cash for expensive advertising. I wanted to build up my cash flow first and then go for the bigger guns.

I went back to one of my favorite Exchanges, just before writing this article and would you believe it, plenty of the same faces, doing 1000+ hits per day. The highest was just over 2300 hits.

My personal feeling is that you may get results with traffic exchanges, but it's time consuming and time, to me, is more valuable than money.

I give Traffic Exchanges a 1 out of 10.

Let me know about your experience in this regard.
