Invest with Paid to Surf cautiously:

Like anything else, paid to surf is a business and must be run by people as a business and with ethics. so, pick and choose and RESEARCH before and during your experience.

My partner learned the hard way this year that past performance is NO indication on present or future. You have to constantly check the boards, do a search engine search and etc - even on good performers. The site that paid you on time last month...may not the next.

I recommend cautious investing with any paid to surf venue. Invest once, take the payout. This is a check and balance - you check to see if they pay on time. Invest again. if it looks good, compound. then, next time take out the payment instead of doing another compound. next time, do the research. If it looks good still - compound. then repeat until you reach a level you are comfortable with. My strategy is to have taken matching payouts to compound level - this way you a. make a little while compound to make a little more in the future. Then, if the site goes belly up, you have not LOST.

I do not advise you ever investing and then compounding everything, never taking a payout. This is how you end up losing big time. For example, if you have invested and compounded at 12DailyPro to $200 level, when it comes time for payout or compound - leave what ever is necessary to maintain your $200 level and cash out the rest. Do this until you have cashed out $200. Then, after you have cashed out at least $200, research. If it looks good - compound again. If it looks so-so, leave what ever is necessary in to keep your level and just cash out. continue this until the site looks healthy enough to consider a compound again or until it goes bust.

In this manner you achieve the best of both worlds - profit balanced by cautious investment. having compounded to the $5000 level without ever taking a payout does you no good if the site fails to pay you! lol.

Of course, many unscrupulous owners (like the scam http://www.4daily.com ) counted on members compoundsin ng rather than taking the payout. This is where everyone can get into trouble.

Never simply take the word, published or not, of the program owner. Test what the owner and site is saying about itself by browsing the search engines and the forums. One simple thing I do is type in the name of the program, like 12daily, and then see what comes up in the search engines. Another thing I do is check a number of forums to see what members are saying (if anything) about a site.

Especially check on sites which offer guarantees. Guarantees are usually a good sign, but there have been abuses in the industry in this regard so, again, research is always advised. PowerPaySurf is a site that offers a guarantee on payout. To date it has made payments to members on time.
