Money here, money there

Just pluggin along. The machine keeps working. I have been getting a new affiliate almost on a daily basis for the last 2 weeks or so from the Eagle Coop at SFI so for those of you on my team, if you want an easy way to add affiliates to your T-Net, this is a good investment. I didn't do it for a long time wanting to go my own way and advertise on my own but once you make the decision to use paid advertising, this is a good way to go. You take advantage of the powerful advertising machine that is in place and getting results. Unless you are a super marketer, this will get you the quickest results to grow your business.

On the survey front, I have taken several paid surveys over the last few days. I added over a hundred points toward payout at one site and I just took a 15 minute survey today for $5 at ACOP. Hey, every little bit counts.

I'm still doing a little GPTR email too but this is getting to be a waste of time since it pays so little. It's just not as popular as it was a couple of years ago so downline growth is way down and the people that are still around aren't really participating like they once did. I still hang onto a couple of the programs that I still have an active downline in and have resigned from all the rest.

Growing the business

I am continuing to try new methods of advertising and getting hits to my website www.allwebsuccess.com with mixed results. I have been trying Yahoo's paid search results listing and while I have been getting some hits from them, I don't seem to be getting any results as far as conversions. That is, people that sign up for my programs after they get to the website. I think I will put the account on hold soon and pursue other methods for a while.

For getting signups to my main affiliate program, (SFI), I have tried their advertising coop and it has netted a dozen or so new affiliates. Not bad. I think I will try it again maybe in a month or so. If it keeps paying off, I will use it every other month maybe in place of other paid advertising and then use my own advertising in between.

I'm still puzzled by the fact that very few people are signing up for the paid surveys. This is the easiest money one could ever make and yet nobody is taking advantage of it. I found another site that is saying paid surveys are a scam and then on the very same page, they try and hawk a survey service that you have to pay to join. They try and get you to sign up for a program that they just got through saying was a scam. Unbelievable... Of course they try and say that their program is the only honest one. Yah right... Most of the sites that you see trying to get you to sign up are the ones that ask you for money to join their "service" that gives you the programs that pay. Well, you can find out the information FREE at http://www.allwebsuccess.com/surveys.html and all the programs listed there are FREE. FREE as in NO COST. Get the idea? DON'T pay anyone for the opportunity to get paid for surveys.

To your success.

Getting paid for surveys

I have been surfing around the net lately looking at other sites similar to mine and personal websites that are hyping one program or another and I have come across a few sites that are discouraging people from joining paid survey sites. I think I am going to contact these webmasters and ask them what bad experience they had that would cause them to have this opinion because I have personally never had a problem with any of the paid survey programs I am in and advertise on my site. I have never had a problem reaching the payout level and have always gotten paid promptly whenever I have requested payment.

Maybe they made the mistake of joining one of the sites that make you pay for information on paid survey sites and they didn't come through, I don't know. I don't recommend anyone pay into these programs that say they will make you rich doing surveys if you only pay them $30, $50 or more for the "inside information". These sites are basically charging you for information that you can get for free if you just look for it. http://www.allwebsuccess.com/surveys.html will show you several programs you can join for free and you can email me for invitations from several more companies and they are all legitimate, free to join and they will pay you.

It's also a possibility that these "disgruntled" people actually bought into the hype that they could get rich taking surveys. You won't. You CAN make a few bucks for spending a little time now and then answering questions on your computer. Just last month I reached payout level on 3 survey companies and requested payments totaling over $45. Not a fortune by any means but it's easy money.

If any of you out there have had some sort of bad experience with paid surveys, give me a shout and let me know about it. I am always on the lookout for good information whether it be on a good program or on one to stay away from.

In the mean time, I'm going to keep taking surveys and keep cashing checks!
