The News is Not Good

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 21:30:03 +0000

Sad to say, but since sometime after Christmas, I have spent close to $8,000.00 on various systems that were supposedly able to help you generate traffic to your website, generate articles that could make a measured claim to originality, and quickly fill your pockets with five figures a month. Now, some of you might scratch your heads at why I would spend so much on such programs. There are three. First, I worked for myself for some 20 years and since I am sadly beginning to get older, whatever I do have to be done from the comfort of a computer screen. Two, someone is making some money selling information on the Internet and I intend to find out how, even if it means I do it from scratch and out of whole cloth. Three, $8,000 is a drop in the bucket and not even the cost of many of the single programs or a single modem rack from back in the day when I built myown Internet Service Provider from scratch. Those of you who have old Boardwatch Magazines that you fondly browse through wishing for the good old days of FidoNet and the MajorBBS can locate my ISP under SIS Online!, Inc. or Infosurge. The latter domain has been bought by some Indian software house at this point.

Only one system so far still has any credibility with me and even the author of that system has lost his mind marketing a program for some $1,995.00. Oi vey! No, I am not particularly Jewish, I just needed an exclamatory remark that would carry my aggravation. Truth is, there is nothing that sells better than a dream and if you can sell it for a couple of hours’ wages, so much the better. People will buy, they will try, they will realize that what they bought will never work or that they have not the skillset to make it work, and that the phone is strangely silent in response to their calls for help, their email box empty of everything but additional calls to purchase the next greatest thing, often maddeningly from the fellows who have yet to answer support question on the LAST greatest next thing…

Folks, making money online is not unlike making money from a storefront. You have to have relationships with suppliers and you have to go out and build relationships with buyers. It is not rocket science. You find something people want, or some need that someone will pay you to fill, your find a supplier and badda-bing, badda-bang, you are in business. I purchased a system that I know has made some folks a LOT of money as I discussed in an earlier blog.

Now, having gone through many months of fighting to find a workable system, I am down to only two out of more than a few so-called gurus. I have no belief in any of them any further. Do not as a rule buy from them. I will publish here the things that work for me, why I think they are working, and how you can benefit. Yes, I will charge for that information. If you don’t agree it is worth the price, I will refund your money with no questions for 90 days.

No, I do not have a name for it yet. Tim’s SuperDuper Money System X is about in line with a lot of the crap coming down the line right now. I wonder. Does it ever occur to these folks that if they simply developed a good product and serviced their customers that they might make more money, make money for a longer period of time, and sleep better? I mean, ordering a million names of people who want to work from home or make money, slinging out a clever email that is tantamount to lying, and hoping for enough sales to pay next months bills just seems like a bad way to screw up a good opportunity. I mean, the folks who subscribed to the list already signed on to being shown how to make money, did they not?

Just in a bad funk right now.

More news later.

Can A Listbuilding System Be TOTALLY Automated?

I know we’re all a bit sick and tired of promises of “automated software” that will make us rich before dinner.

And I’m always the first to be skeptical of these kinds of outrageous claims.

But today I may have to actually eat my words.

Because I just picked up a listbuildilng system that really is incredibly fast…,

And the traffic actually does keeps flow in on auto-pilot.

It’s a pretty new tactic on the scene that I’ve heard of.

But I never really knew how to implement it.

Then I found this:

http://neverfaillistbuilding.com/freestuff/video-2/”>Free Plug N Play Listbuilding System

At that link 7 figure marketer Bill McRea is GIVING AWAY this listbuilding system totally free…

It’s his way of getting some buzz going for his upcoming product launch (apparently he’s go another system up his sleeve that’s even better than this)

In any case..

I went and got this myself and it’s totally legit.

There’s nothing scammy about it all.
It’s just a way to instantly create a win-win offer that potential JV partners can’t refuse.

Bill hand you EVERYTHING you need to make it work. And I mean EVERYTHING.

So if you know the power of having a mailing list..

Do yourself a favor and go get this.

Do it now: http://neverfaillistbuilding.com/freestuff/video-2/”>Free Plug N Play Listbuilding System

I mean…you can’t beat the price, right?

P.S. There is one catch to this…you’ll have to help spread the word. But that’s easy for me because I’ve seen this strategy in action and know that it works.
You should get http://neverfaillistbuilding.com/freestuff/video-2/”>Free Plug N Play Listbuilding System now!

Working Offshore, Why, and a Way to Get Started

admin — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 02:29:08 +0000

Offshore Oil Rig Jobs

I worked offshore shortly after I came out of high school. For some bizarre reason, and bad advice to which I listened, I blew off all my scholarships and decided to hit the road. I would like to be able to type, “Whatever. I am over it,” but it would be a lie.

I worked my way across the country, sleeping on concrete picnic tables in order to save money. One of my jobs was working at an Autozone in Garden Grove, California. Some months later I wound up in Cutoff, Louisiana working for South Lafourche Labor Crews, a company that supplied roustabouts to oil companies. That job sucked outrageously mainly because Mitch was not a good employer and so I moved on, and back to college (on my dime.) I later heard Mitch’s company had been raided for all kinds of illegal activities sending him to prison, so my sense of time to go turned out to be very accurate.

After 14 years of marriage, a semi-successful insurance career and a blazingly successful Internet Service Provider start up which was robbed by my partners and subsequently was a major cause of divorce, I began looking at going back offshore. This was in 1998.

Pondering over how long it took to get my job, I honestly don’t have a sense of how many months it took me to land the job but I do remember that it was not a short process. Once I landed the job, I found myself living in a bunkhouse going through classes and training and depressed as hell because, boy, how the mighty had fallen. My business was gone and here I was, working for an hourly wage again. Thank goodness they started training us on how to exit a helicopter that had made a water landing and had turned upside down in the water. Nothing and I mean nothing will get your mind off feeling sorry for yourself better than keeping your focus on how to get out of a seat you’re held in by a six point seatbelt while you are submerged and upside down.

Once I got into the routine of working offshore I realized a couple of things. First, as long as I was on the job and on the clock, the clock was working in my favor. If I were home watching television the clock was working against me. It was an epiphany that took me reaching my late 30s, going through a robbery and a divorce to understand. Second, coming home after a month long stint to a fat bank account made me want to hold to the rod longer even when I was offshore. I got to where I was uncomfortable if I was not on the ship, barge, or platform working. Besides, it is agreeable work. Some of us started at 6AM and worked until 6PM, some from 6PM until 6AM. Some of use from 5 to 5, same deal.

For the single guy, it was a dream job. I once stayed nearly 90 days straight. That homecoming only made it worse for my hankering to be back on the ship because I could see myself getting ahead. Others worked the traditional two weeks on and two weeks off. Many had saved their money and used the oil field job to pay their bills and ran things like a contracting or backhoe business to pay for toys and fund their retirement on their off weeks. I am sure you understand when I say it took me a little while before thinking of being in business for myself again. I worked in the oil fields and I recovered from the robbery and the divorce, one day at a time.

I wish I had had these people’s help when I started looking. I can guarantee that should I ever look to returning to the oil fields and its honest, well paying work, these people will lead the way.

If you think working in the oil fields might be for you, and I highly recommend it as a place to work, try these folks on for size.

Best Regards,

The New Spin and Pitch, or Bait and Switch, if you prefer

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:08:03 +0000

“Mr. Singleton, we are interested in working with a few key individuals because our number one goal today is to identify a few key individuals with whom we can work and whose success story we can use in the future.”

Sounds good, right? Hell, more than that, it sounds fair.

“So what your saying is all you want is for me to work with your coaches to build a successful business and you get to use my success story in marketing your system, correct?”

“ Absolutely. All we want is your best efforts and willingness to be teachable and accountable.”

Teachable and accountable from my network marketing days I have come to realize means you are willing to get on their book and tape list which in some cases accounts for large percentages of their incomes, sometimes the majority of their incomes. The miracle butt cream they are pushing or the $6 tube of magic root toothpaste is apparently for the selling to others and pays limited percentages until you get to where you are moving a buttload of books and tapes.

Anyways. I am over it.

One such system swore to me that there was no charge, then about three quarters of the way through the conversation he started talking about a grant to cover the cost of the program. I asked why did I need a grant if all they wanted was my best efforts. I have to be frank in that I have looked at so many programs that this guy’s discomfort was humorous to me because he was so busted.

The point is they wanted to teach me to do a drop ship program using eBay and my own websites and all for the low price of $1,200.00. Well, DOBA charges a monthly fee and these folks had a onetime fee of $1,200.00. I negotiated that down to $300.00 mainly by saying that was what I was willing to pay or I was walking. They came back with $400.00 and I bit…in two equal payments of $200.00, of course, and with the provision that the first con man who called me not get paid because he lied when he said there was no charge.

If their service sucks in 30 days I will cancel and if they want to come after me in small claims, so be it, I will hammer them. I am hopeful that they can actually keep their word. The fellow I am working with seems to be an okay fellow. I am keeping the name of the company confidential for now. If I have not earned my $200 back in 30 days, or if I have, I will report on it.

There are some folks out there who are making a LOT of money. Sadly, I suspect a ton of it is done by overpromising, underdelivering, and having the best disclaimer and terms of agreement out there that money can by. Selling something for $39.95 has got to be the best gig in town because it is cheap enough that lots of folks will take a chance and too small for anybody to sue over when it does not perform up to snuff. Has ANYBODY bought a system for $39.95 that even earned them their money back? A few, it is true, very few.

All of which sucks and screws up the market when you really want to sell good products which are of equal value to the price you charge.

This company claims it will teach me how to build drop shipping relationships with people in that business and show me how to profitably use eBay and how to use eBay to drive people to my own website.

Well, we will see. After all, I have spent more than $400 on a date, on a bad date. Hopefully, they can actually come through. I will consider the program a success if it earns me in a month what I paid for it. Working at home clearly has to be built in sections and pieces, just like the house you want to work out of.

Private Label Resell Rights

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 02:27:51 +0000

You know, you find a product that is exciting because it clearly fills a need, it has a proven track record of success as a revenue stream, and you genuinely feel it will be a benefit to your client at least equal to the purchase price. You decide on a domain name to post your landing page, you set up your autoresponder, and you begin customizing the landing pages and the software or product as instructed.

Only…those instructions tell you to customize it to read in the first person when you did not write ANY of it.

All of a sudden you are moving slow and staring off into space a bit. Disclaimers being what they are, you still know you did not write the thing. The experiences cited are not yours even though the work is written in the first person. Now, I know prose written in the first person is more interesting to read. “The author of this work found himself to be excited” just does not read as well as “Dude, I was fired UP!”

So, to return to the point of this article, a question I have not answered yet. Is it legal, moral and ethical to buy the rights to a work (yes, clearly) and represent that you are the author (no way) even with the original author’s explicit permission because it was his or her intent that you do so? Here, my mental gears grind because it is not plagiarism as I conceive the concept because plagiarism to me implies theft which is not the case here.

I do want to market the products but I will not unless I can come up with a way to explicitly inform the potential buyer of the fact that I am selling it under Private Lable Resell rights without compromising the sales copy. If the issue of it being a product sold under license from another makes the product somehow less beneficial to the purchaser then I have wasted a hell of a lot of time.

The Threat Posed by Sustainable Development

admin — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 00:58:52 +0000

Sustanainable development is part and parcel connected with the monstrous aims of the Georgia Guidestones, the control freaks in the UN who wish to limit the human population to 500 million worldwide, and those NGOs who would indoctrinate your kids by bypassing the Federal and State governments and working directly with the local municipality and county governments via local school and government ‘sustainable development’ initiatives.

Make no mistake. Sustainable development is not about saving the environment. It is about saving the environment for the uber rich while relegating you and me to the confines of so-called ‘human zones’ as if we are livestock to be herded and corralled into fenced pasteurs not of our making.

It is infuriating to look into the face of some menapausal local elected council woman while she self-righteously proclaims that SHE is going to single handedly save the earth, or some soon to be victim of Alzheimer’s going on about how he needs to regulate how many times a farmer can subdivide his own property.

Sustainable development is at once an attack on both Christianity and Capitalism, on freedom and freewill, on individuality and independence and on how we live.

Check out Freedom Advocates for more information on this heinous attack against our lives.

My lack of posting…

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 07:08:05 +0000

Suffering from insomnia and apnea has left me for months barely able to stay awake at work and only wanting to crash when I got home. I did not want to believe I had apnea, or that if I did, it was not so bad, or if it was so bad, losing weight would take care of the problem.

Trouble is, I was falling dead ass asleep at work in my desk in the middle of conversations with people no matter how hard I tried to keep from doing so. Provigil and ephedrine helped but the assholes at Blue Cross/Blue Shield did not want to pay for them without a sleep study. I put it off and put if off because I KNEW I could not sleep with something on my face all night and besides, I did not want my girl Maryjane to see me sleeping with it looking like a car accident victim in a coma.

Well, it only got worse, so I scheduled the sleep study. They monitored me for a few hours and then came in and helped me into a CPAP mask. Imagine my surprise when I slept on my BACK…have never been able to do that as an adult, and I slept for several hours straight…another minor miracle for Tim’s sleep.

Anyways, I will be on a CPAP machine now. It isn’t sexy, but it isn’t just my weight, either. Choking in your sleep when your throat tissues collapse and your tongue falls to the back of your mouth cause a tremendous load on your heart and this appears to the the primary cause of high blood pressure and stroke later in life. Fixing it now will result in a longer life. Now, instead of merely making it to 300, I may make it to 350 years of age before I check out!

…and Maryjane, of course, only said, “Thanks be to God” when she found out I was going on the machine. My political commentary, aka my snoring, concerned her.

Cash System X

admin — Fri, 21 May 2010 04:37:24 +0000

At $997 for a system that provides four websites and hopefully gets you on the fast track to an online income, you would think that the articles used for article marketing to drive traffic to your sites would be a little more in depth. You would also expect that the support folks would respond faster.

I purchased Cash System X and worked it, HARD, because plainly and simply I am in the HUNT to make my online business equal my day job. Why? Because I want choices and options should I say the wrong thing at work and I want to be able to retire in style in eleven years. I will be 58, my first born will be around 10, my sweetie will still be considered as too young for me by many, and when I teach my kids concerning Egypt it will be at the foot of the pyramids in the shadow of the Pharoahs.

I paid the $997 because the sales copy was convincing. I thought I was purchasing 4 websites that would be set up for me. While the situation is more complex than that, I have to say that someone who is completely new to this stuff will not be able to get the system up and running within the 30 money back guarantee timeframe. This is my opinion and it is a strong opinion.

When I did indicate to them that I wanted a refund, it took some doing. While I will give them the benefit of the doubt as to why my refund was so long coming – mistakes and crap happens to the best of us – the slow response and lack of response in the final straw that led to the refund request makes me take the position that when thinking of which system to try you need to X Cash System X OFF your list.

I finally got my refund because I got the company who processed the payment involved in the situation. Not good.

Cash System X. Recommendation: Steer clear.

Regards,

Tim
