Need a Little Extra Money?
 

About six weeks ago, I joined one of those "get paid to surf" programs because my son told me he was making good money from it. I'm as cynical as any of you about stuff like that, but I was feeling desperate fo find some way to get ahead. Hadn't been able to afford to go grocery shopping for two months. Anyway, the program has been paying me on schedule as promised, and I've already made a few thousand dollars in profit from it. If anyone is interested, I wrote up an explanation of how it works and my experience with it so far at http://www.bluewavelinks.com/12daily.html

Congrats on your success with it. I read your page, and I guess the one thing that confuses me a little is, you couldn't buy groceries for 2 mos, but you had $3600 sitting on a credit card to invest in an online program?
"I didn't have any money to invest, so I used my credit card. I
invested $1800 one day, and then another $1800 the next."
I'd be tempted to put a bag of groceries on my credit card before I went 2 mos without buying anything. But here's wishing you continued success with it. :-)

Is promoting a pyramid scheme a crime in Michigan?

Give me a shout on ICQ so I can talk to you about Amway... ;)

2 months? Wow. You must be skinny. Any pics? |fart|

I have about $60,000 in credit cards, but I refuse to use credit to pay for consumable monthly expenses. Once you start doing that, you're on the road to bankruptcy. My daughter goes dumpster diving every night at a local fast food restaurant for the food they throw out at closing. It's still packaged and still good, and that's what we've mainly been eating the past couple of months.

UM OK, guess everyone has their priorities....I would risk bankruptcy before I would ever A: send my child to a dumpster for food, B. Eat from a dumpster with cash available on a credit card, C. Eat from a dumpster PERIOD.

It's not a pyramid scheme. There's only a one-level referrer program. That's pretty good, though. It pays 12% of whatever membership fees members you refer pay. Since each membership expires every 12 days, you can see how that could add up. Since I'm now paying for a $3,000 membership twice every 12 days, my son (since he referred me) makes almost $1,000/month just off my activity alone, not counting what he's making for doing the surfing every day. I'm not sure of my math. I just got to the maximum level (two $3,000 upgrades) a few days ago. Maybe my son is making more than that from me now.

I would risk bankruptcy before A: telling the world that I eat out of a dumpster and B: sending my child to go dig thru others' refuse for dinner while sitting on my lazy ass admiring my credit score.

If my son was making thousands of dollars per month on some bullshit scam and I didn't have enough money to feed myself and his siblings, I think I'd ask him to buy some food.

This thread is as wiered as Usless Inviting me to live in his house....

I hope you were just making this story up to get referrals, and if you are that's fairly disgusting. Can't imagine what other reason you have for sharing this information and hoping someone clueless takes pity on you...

If you're not making it up, the fact that you have that much available credit and you let your children dig through dumpsters for food is truly horrible, and I hope someone reports you to Social Services. What kind of mother cares more about that than her children eating? Is that not your first priority, your children's welfare? I cannot believe I just read that.

Especially since you claimed to be doing so well online that you quit a "mainstream career in the corporate world":

If you can't pay for your kids, let the state give them parents who can give them the life they deserve. Un-fucking-believable.|2up

And if you are in fact making this up, you clearly didn't put much thought into it...almost as bad.

|haha

Geez I didn't even realize the obvious when I posted. I suppose I was too stunned and amazed that ANYONE would admit to sending their child to a dumpster for dinner while sitting at the computer bragging about her credit worthiness!

To get the facts straight: My daughter is 19, no need to worry about child services. The dumpster diving was her idea, not mine. We're all adults here, nobody is feeding garbage to kids.

As far as my career as an adult webmaster goes, I started in 1999 and the money was good back then. In 2000 and 2001, I was averaging $12,000/month in income. Since 2001, my income in this business has steadily declined, and now it's to the point where I can still pay all my monthly bills, but just don't have money left over for food. Don't worry that I'm starving or anything. I've been gaining weight on the dumpster diet.

I don't really care if the surfing for money thing turns out to be a scam in the end as long as I make money from it before it goes down. It's been running for seven months now, and your own money is only at risk the first 21 days. After you get your first payment, you can take your original investment out and just use your profit to keep going in the program. I would NOT have told you people about this program if it wasn't working for me. If the program lasts another five months (makes it a whole year), I'll have my credit card and my 2nd mortgage paid off.

lmao While eating dumpster food....such a deal! Deal me OUT!

Got pics?

I don't know if I am suppose to laugh, be sick, or call the authorities.

I'm voting for all of the above!

I have to say that I'm honestly surprised that none of the adult webmasters are willing to try the surf for money program I'm in. You put a lot of time into making websites to promote new sponsors, many of which never pay you anything. That qualifies you as risk-takers. And you'd seem like the perfect people to be involved in something like this, because your websites position you perfectly to get people to sign up under you, greatly compounding your profits in the program. You have a big advantage over all the other people doing it. What is it that stops you? I'm really curious.

The ratio of money out vs. money in is too great to be self-sustaining. A net 44% return on investment every 12 days (1338% annual) for viewing 12 online ads each day just doesn't add up. The advertister cost for ad placement would have to be exhorbitant. Any outside investments using the float on funds invested could not possibly be earning enough to make up the difference. The only thing I can see keeping the house of cards from crashing is a consistant influx of new members. While not set up like a tradition Ponzi scheme, this sure has the feel of one.

What Toby says is true. Over time some of these places die out and you never get paid so why get involved in the first place. And I for one am not dropping a few grand ahead of time to try and make it back plus profit.

Besides I make good money from what I am doing and plan to keep building on it, not something else.

I had a nice long post wrote out, but I accidently closed my browser before sending it. :)

I agree with Ramster, I became not interested in the idea when reading about that kind of cash being put into that thing.

Toby makes some good points.

You answered your own question. We ARE Adult webmasters. We aren't looking for a get "rich quick scheme". We work hard and we make money at it. Perhaps if you put 1/10 the amt of time into your 1000's of websites, and picked some decent sponsors and/or learned how to sell your sponsors you'd make money as an adult webmaster too.
I can assure you, not even our dog or cats have to worry about eating from a dumpster with my webmaster income. You might wanna try it and give your daughter a break from scavaging through the trash for your meals! |goodidea |goodidea

I had exactly the same thought when my son first told me about the program, and didn't get into it then. After he started taking vacations with his profits from it, though, I looked at it again. Since the turnaround on the money is so quick, I decided that the potential profits were worth the risk.

In response to fetish1: I usually work 12/hours/day on my website business, 7 days/week. I just can't seem to get back up over the $4,000/month level with my sales, and that just barely pays the bills. I'm working a lot harder now than when I was making $12,000/month. If I was comfortably making lots of extra money from it like you people apparently do, I would not have tried the "get paid to surf" thing either. I had thought the downturn in income from the adult website business was something a lot of webmasters were experiencing, not just me. I guess that's not the case. That's depressing. I wonder how I got left behind when all the money was being divided up.

Why don't we want a part of this magic pudding?

Because it's a shonk, a shabby scam, and sooner or later the owners will withdraw all of the money and piss off to deepest darkest Africa (or Peru)...

You've said you know that someone will lose their entire "investment" - yet you still promote it to us - why don't you just piss in our corn flakes...

Ann we just aren't going to see eye to eye on this, cause you have such different values from me and that's becoming increasingly clear. I don't know what bills you pay that run you $4000 a mo, and it's not my biz, but I know personally that between my home, my utilities, and vehicles alone, if I was paying $100 a mo, or $10,000 a mo, and my child (19 yrs or at any age) was getting our meals out of a dumpster, I would CHANGE my bill situation....be it move, be it trade cars, be it get a part time job, or two, or three. There are TRULY destitute people, that have no home, no money and no way to get ahead, that very well may live or die based on finding the food that the restaurants throw away in the evenings, and you sit on your ass at home surfing for dollars....while your daughter runs down and collects dinner in the evenings! That to me is beyond pathetic!

I suppose I am just appauled, disgusted, stunned (not really sure what word to use at this point) that a parent who is making even $4000 a month would have no shame in saying that she is eating out of a dumpster, and her child "dumpster dives" to do so.

If I heard about you through someone else, and they told me of some poor destitute lady, who is homeless, and is trying to feed herself and her family with no means of doing so, my heart would break for you. Based on the details you have given of your situation, rather than my heart breaking, my stomach is churning and I could just puke!

I'm so confused! Eating out of dumpsters when you have an income of $4,000 a month? |huh

I'm sure you're probably right. The whole program will almost certainly come crashing down at some point. I believed that when I got into it. I only joined it because it had already been running for six months at the time and it only takes a few weeks to make a profit with it. I figured I might as well make as much money as I can before the owners rip everybody off, if that happens. When the program does go down, I'll probably take the money I've gotten out of it before that happens and go sign up with another similar program that has established a good track record.

I bought a big house back in 2000 when my income was $7000/month and rising and the future looked bright. It's expensive to live in, big mortgage, big utility bills. My other big expense is the $1000/month I spend advertising my websites, apparently at all the wrong places. It was only in the past few months that my income from the websites dropped to the point where it just covers my bills with nothing left over for food. I intend to put the house on the market next Spring but, until it sells, I'm stuck with the big monthly bills.

It was never my intention to make anyone feel sorry for me. I don't feel sorry for me. I could be taking my profits from the "get paid to surf" program now and buying food with them. That's just not my priority, I want to pay off my second mortgage first to drop my monthly expenses by $700, precisely because I don't know how long the surfing program will last.

If any of you really wants to help me out, tell me where you get the best bang for your advertising buck in terms of traffic that buys. I'd love to get my sales back up where they were four years ago. I just can't seem to do it.

The "get paid to surf" program I'm in just paid me another $2400 last night, three days ahead of schedule. I'll probably reinvest it tomorrow, since the program still appears healthy.

Great maybe you can give your daughter a night out of the dumpster and buy a pound of ground beef from the grocery store for a change!

Compliments of BuyTheCase.net

http://www.buythecase.net/product/23...n_noodle_soup/
A Case of Ramen Noodles, count 24 servings/packages per case, runs $9.94. $2400 would buy ~240 cases (or 5,760 individual packs of ramen noodles).

http://www.buythecase.net/product/25...ni_and_cheese/
Perhaps some Scooby Doo Mac & Cheese instead? 24 boxes per case for $26.17. Investing $2400 gets us 91 cases (or 2,184 boxes of mac & cheese... scooby doo no less!)

More fucked up numbers? 5,760 packages of ramen noodles, 3 packages a day, would last 5 years (equivalent of a $40/mo grocery budget!!!). The mac & cheese? nearly 2 years ($100/mo grocery budget). Ok, I may suck at numbers so some of that math may easily be wrong, but the obvious conclusion to my usual long-winded drivel is that $2400 could easily buy a shitload of groceries!

|haha Excellent suggestions gobgook2

I got some "store-bought" food yesterday so we can have a Christmas dinner. I appreciate your helpfulness.

Just a note that the "get paid to surf" program I'm in is having a tech problem processing membership upgrades from Stormpay. They don't want anyone to buy memberships until they get that straightened out. They're guessing tomorrow afternoon, because they gave their programmers the holidays off. If you log in there, look at their lastest news section to keep updated on the issue.

LOL And you thought how many of us were going to be sitting in front of the computer on Christmas day trying to log into the surf scam?

Well, I work even on holidays. I hope I'm not the only one here without a life. They've fixed that technical problem, by the way.

WTF?????????????????????

|haha Don't ask, it will only make you want to be ill.

Getting Paid Money to Surf
 

I'm starting another thread because the old one has gotten too long. I got paid another $4600 last night from the "get paid to surf" program I'm in. That represents $1600 in profit from a $3000 12-day membership I bought on December 11. Not a bad turn-around in 18 days. Could have been a little more, but I missed surfing one day. If anyone else is interested in doing the same thing, I wrote up a page explaining it and giving the links, at
