Posting your link free on FFA boards (Free For All) is a great way to start getting the word out on your site. In fact it is a very effective way to "mass" market your site in that respect. The best part is that it is free! When you post, you do get email ads back. That is the trade-off for free posting. Who do those emails come from? Why, the owners of the boards AND the paying Pro members that's who. Yes, Pro members get to email you their ads and offers daily.
XtreamFFA http://xtreamffa.msnethosting.com/ offers Pro memberships for only $5.00 monthly. There are anywhere from 1,000 - 2,500 people EVERY DAY who post to the FFA system XtreamFFA is linked to and every Pro member gets to email their ads to those leads daily. FFA's are great, being a Pro member of one even better. Go Pro now at http://xtreamffa.msnethosting.com/

Xtream Traffic makes good business sense
Joining the traffic exchanges at Xtream makes good business sense for marketers looking to increase traffic to their sites on a no or limited budget. The flagship, http://www.xtreamsurf.com, started 7-05-05 has weathered it's fair share of trials and tribulations including break-ins, hackers and server issues. Each trial has only made the exchange stronger and a viable addition to any marketing portfolio. The owners give credit to the outstanding and loyal (and very active) membership and a strong commitment to member service.
"We have survived a lot of things that would have shut another site down a long time ago," says Cherie Halliday, the founder of all the XtreamNet sites. Her partner and head of Admin, Ken Belz, agrees: "We are here for the long-haul. Years from now when you go searching for traffic, Xtream will be found."
The owners/admins, Cherie Halliday and Ken Belz, have focused on two areas: providing marketing resources beyond the traffic and ensuring as smooth and safe surf environment as possible. They also tie in the traffic sites with their other marketing venues to make about a complete a marketing network as you will find any where. Cherie focuses on finding free marketing resources and negotiating special offers for the members from other marketing venues. "I have been fortunate enough to have met and formed alliances and bonds with some remarkable business owners and entrepreneurs." Cherie then adds with a smile, "of course all this gets posted to the forum so all can share in my good fortune."
Ken concentrates on keeping the surf "clean" and safe for all. "I surf. I hate anything that disrupts that: pop ups, exit pages, down load and dialog boxes. If I can't surf, I leave a site. That is not going to happen at any of our sites," he says with conviction. Sometimes, this over all concern conflicts with an individual's site. "If it disrupts the surf, it won't be allowed," he says, "however, you can ALWAYS put it up on a text ad or a banner!"
This is another thing which makes Xtream sites worthy of anyone's consideration: lots of options. You can auto or manual surf, you can get banner and text ads, there is also paid-to-click. Combine that with the forum resources, and you have a great value. But, there is more as well!
Over the course of the year, Xtream has developed an entire marketing network of sites beyond the traffic. They now offer safe lists, a safeadlist, ffa boards, a submitter, tie in with a search engine and are developing a new service which will write and submit press releases.
Best of all, the majority of their sites remain free. They are all both auto and manual surf, with great traffic provided on both sides of the surf. On the traffic sites you can easily earn upgraded accounts which provide you access to banner and text ads and a better surf ratio. Once you try the traffic and decide to purchase an upgrade or try their items like pay-per-click, banner ads or text ads, you will find the prices very affordable and competitive with traffic exchanges on the market.
One of the fun (and interesting) things Admin does is periodically add "email rewards" for reading Admin email! They range from free memberships into their paid venues to links on the various blogs they publish. They also have a forum where they post free marketing resources like adblasters, great special offers, informative articles on marketing resources and more.
You always need traffic to your site, get Xtream traffic by joining all these sites today:
http://www.xtreamsurf.com http://www.ptrsurf.net http://www.shoppersuf.com http://www.gamersurf.com
Then, join their paid-to-surf venue at http://www.powerpaysurf.com . Surf, get paid - GUARANTEED

No Bounce is a Winner!
Just4uu and XtreamNet have combined forces to create the first guaranteed No Bounce email service on the net! 'These mailboxes are both POP3 and SMTP and designed with the Email Marketer in mind.' says Ken Belz, one of the partners behind http://www.just4uu.com/XtreamNet/index.html
One of the nightmares of marketing to safe lists, especially through submitters, is the email server being down. Many times it is because the server becomes overwhelmed by the shere volume of email incoming to the boxes. Members involved in safelist and/or FFA submitters will easily receive thousands of emails daily! When the loads push the server to the limit, the server will shut down, thus causing email to 'bounce.' Bounces go back to the submitters and safelists causing accounts to be set on 'vacation/bounce' hold. One must then notice this has happened and take the accounts off hold. Oftentimes the member isn't even aware this has occured. In time their accounts become inactive and then deleted.
http://www.just4uu.com/XtreamNet/index.html stops the nightmare. Their server is especially built to take the load of safelist and ffa emails and then some! Affordably priced, they even offer a great affiliate program where members earn 50% commissions.

Beware the "blog blaster' scam!
Business on the net is dynamic. New sites, programs, software, and etc come along hourly. This is exciting. But, remember: every new thing that comes along announcing that it is “THE NEXT BIG THING” ain’t always so.
Case in point: new site suddenly appears announcing that it has produced a “blog blaster.’ They throw up a lot of great looking statistics on blogs, how rapidly they are growing, how many of them there now are and make claims (all unfounded and unsubstantiated of course) and imply that you will be reaching all these blogs with their blaster. That you will be “unleashing” a marketing powerhouse by blasting your ads to all these blogs just ripe and waiting for your submission. They talk about RSS feeders and etc. They present information in such a way that the casual reader, especially one who does not own a blog, can be very much taken away by the information and rush to be a part of “THE NEXT BIG THING”. For a cost of $50 bucks or so of course.
The entire site, the case presented, the claims are one big ol fat lie. You need to be a blog owner to understand this. You see, while the statistics the site throws up are correct - there is a huge explosion of blogs on the net in the past year or so - that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR CLAIMS OF A BLOG BLASTER! Nothing. Blogs, while the blog script is obtained from somewhere, the actual blog itself is individually owned and completely individually controlled. Every 10 million of them and counting.
Blogs do have access to an RSS feeder. Blogs and their articles can go out into the RSS feeder if that blog owner so desires. NOTHING flows back. If you want to post on an individual blog, that blogger must invite you individually. I don’t care if it is an article, an ad or a single link. You want it on a blog, that owner has to allow it. Simple. Period. No if ands or buts, and no “blaster”.
I find it fascinating that this new “blaster” is only targeting consumers. Not one post, not one news release, not one Press Release has been made on this blaster. Most telling is that I, as the owner of several blogs, have not heard one peep regarding any kind of blaster that would post ads to my blogs, or permission to even do so.
Suddenly, it appears on my traffic site at http://www.xtreamsurf.com/ . Suddenly, I have partner members sending me frantic emails on how this “spells the end of blogs as we know them” but asking that I get “onboard”.
Hogwash. The whole thing is hoyie, smoke and mirrors. And not even all that clever either. You have 10 million plus bloggers who will tell you: “no way, Jose” to a blaster. If I need another safe list I’ll go join one, or start one of my own: I already have four. My blogs, I don’t think so.
Bottomline: run away, do not even sign up for on the “free” thingee. Certainly DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY HERE! (If you did, ask for an immediate refund

The First Ever Guaranteed Paid to Surf Program has just Launched
Xtream Surf has just launched the only guaranteed paid to surf program on the internet. We are guaranteeing a profit from joking and paying for a membership. This is a 100% guarantee that is good as long as the member surfs the required 100 sites each day for at least 134 days.
(PRWEB) May 11, 2005 -- Xtream Net has just opened a new site. We offer a way to earn an income and at the same time, advertise any products or services that you wish.
Sites like this have been around for a while, but Xtream Net is the First Company to ever Guarantee your money.
You can place your website(s), (up to 10 of them) in a rotator along with those of the other members of the program.
Your website(s) will be viewed (along with those of the other members) by every member who is surfing.
This is a credit based system. This means that you will earn credits for viewing the sites of other members as they are being rotated.
You will not ever see your own website there because the system is set up to avoid you wasting your own credits by viewing your own site.
This program offers the choice of auto-surfing or manual surfing.
To earn from this program you only have to surf 100 sites a day and will earn the maximum amount possible for that day.
You cannot be paid for surfing more than 100 sites each day but you may surf for additional credits to show your site(s)to other members as they surf.
This program will pay you for surfing each day 0.75% of your membership level.
The cost to join at the basic level is just $10.00 and the membership that you are purchasing will not expire for a full year (365 days)
After you once join at the basic level, you may
upgrade your level up to $999.99.
You will be paid the same 0.75% for any level of membership you wish to purchase.
The membership fees are not refundable, however if you surf 100 sites each day for a year you will find that you have made a tidy profit, especially at the higher levels of membership.
Even the basic membership puts you in profit after 134 days as do all the levels of membership.
The other 231 days of the year that are left are pure profits for you while advertising your own offers at the same time.
You actually earn for advertising your site(s) and the higher your membership level is, the more you will earn.
You may request to be paid as soon as you have earned back the amount of your member level.
You also have the option of increasing your member level with your earnings by requesting to compound them when you have reached the same amount of your membership level. In summary, this seems to be one of the best ways to earn and advertise available anywhere on the net today.
Visit http://www.powerpaysurf.com to register.
Complete the payment form to activate your account.
Paypal, Stormpay and E-Gold are accepted at this
time as ways to pay for your membership.
This is the only guaranteed paid to surf program on the internet.
We are guaranteeing a profit, whatever level of membership you decide to join at.
This is a 100% guarantee that is good as long as the members surf the required 100 sites each day for at least 134 days.

Introducing the “bounce free” mail server!
Just4uu.com and XtreamNet.org have joined forces to provide the first ever “bounce free” POP3 AND SMTP mail server on the Net. http://www.just4uu.com/XtreamNet/index.html now provides industrial strength mailboxes at extremely affordable and competitive prices in which the server “guarantees” mail will NOT BOUNCE do to server failure, downtime, unavailability and other reasons that plague most commercial mailbox providers.
How can we offer this guarantee? Simple. We had the server especially designed and built to provide this service, and OUR host and designer GUARANTEES the service to us. We are the only commercial POP3 and SMTP mailbox provider able to offer this guarantee. For you, this means your emails will be delivered to your inbox as you need them to be. Those of you using safelists and submitters know the nightmare, hassle, and havoc bouncing email causes to your accounts. It is especially frustrating when your emails bounce due to reasons beyond your control! Just4uu.com ends this problem now.
Of course, your mail could still bounce because you have a full box - but our handy “one-click” delete all mails is very handy for taking care of that issue. Also, they are compatible with all mailbox cleaners that use POP3 and/or SMTP. Plus, our affordable prices make it easy for you to own the size box which suits your needs.
If you do a lot of email marketing via safe lists, submitters and through FFA boards and submitters, you need http://www.just4uu.com/XtreamNet/index.html

Yet another way to "Get Zapped" online!
1. “…do just about anything with money online…buy on eBay…Yahoo Auctions…”
Ok, let us stop right there. Been on eBay lately? Bought anything from anyone on eBay lately? Noticed ANY OTHER PAYMENT PROCESSOR BESIDES PAYPAL on eBay lately? I mean, you don’t even see storm pay let alone egold, INTGOLD, and etc. In fact, eBay IS PayPal,. No, Paypal IS eBay. Don’t believe me? Log into paypal and check out the bottom of the screen: “paypal is an eBay company. Lol. So, strike #1 and it is a biggee. Oh, and Yahoo Auctions? - THAT is StormPay. See where YOUR log out takes you next time you visit then exit StormPay.
So, right here you have big, fat, LIE and big ‘ol strike one.
2. “GreenZap is a fun, simple, low-cost way for people to send, spend, and receive money online. GreenZap account holders can send money to anyone around the world as long as they have an email address. “
Ok, so now they are a bank? Online banks do this. Yepper, and are governed by state, national, and international banking regulations. So, where is all that info? Policy and privacy statements, you know, the usual “I am trusting my money to a bank/processor thing?” Noticeably missing you see.
3. “Members can spend money purchasing goods and services from other GreenZap members & merchants or from other popular sites, including eBay® and Yahoo® Auctions. “
Really? And how is that accomplished pray tell? Have YOU seen a merchant taking GreenZap lately? A payment processor button please any where anyone? Ebay and Yahoo Auctions, don’t think so. See above.
4. “…or earn money by telling others about GreenZap”
The much promoted $25.00. Is there a processor here? No. So, are you actually getting this $25.00? No. Smoke and Mirrors.
Already there are 4 unsubstantiated claims here. This is where logic kicks in f + f+ f +f = false. This site is false. False is bad. False means “run away from.” Which of course, I did.
But here is the really crazy thing: they are telling you that when you join you receive $25 in your account for each member you sign up. Look, it is a meaningless, empty number. It has no substance. It is fluff, smoke and mirrors. I have a friend who joined and this so I asked him what his experience was regarding the money that is supposedly “deposited” into your account. He said:
“Doesn’t happen.”
I am not alone here: other people have done some research into this site, the owner/s and the claims. This person in particular has put together a great page on the venture: http://www.greenzapscam.com/ It is rather lengthy but well worth the read. My favorite little snippet can be found towards the bottom of the site:
“Interesting Facts
Doing a search of the address in the WHOIS records reveals two interesting pieces of information:
Ralphs Grocery CO - LA Jolla, Store 1088677 Villa La Jolla Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037(858) 597-1550(Found from: http://phonebook.superpages.com/yellowpages/C-Grocery+Stores/S-CA/T-La%20Jolla/)
PostalAnnex provides mailbox services, and how interesting that one of their stores (store #177) shares the same address as GreenZap too:http://www.postalannex.com/Find/store_detail.asp?id=177&city=&state=&zip=92037&storenumber=&action=submitted&page=1
I’m sorry, but it appears that GreenZap.com, the Paypal-killer, is operating out of a grocery store or a mailbox! “ *
Of course he also confirms what I already stated above: eBay is PayPal…and I don’t think you are going to see another payment processor coming anytime soon.
GZ totes itself as being “ a fun, simple, low-cost way for people to send….money online“…RIGHT OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND INTO THEIRS! My advise: stay away from it. It is some kind of email harvesting scam. Insulate yourself thoroughly, you might get zapped good by this one if you don’t!

Your online business, Part 6
You did it: you picked, chose, waded through a lot of hype and verbiage. You analyzed, ran a whois, did your homework, asked questions. You then made a decision and “found” that business just for you or the affiliate program you believe in. Phew. All done. So, now what?
Start by making a plan, a daily or weekly agenda and then stick to it. While you may not have a lot of inventory overhead, stock to deal with, employees to pay and etc, you KNOW YOU MUST PROMOTE! In fact, that will be your single most costly item in terms of both time and money. Even if you find tons of free resources, you STILL MUST SPEND DEDICATED TIME using those tools and resources to bring in visitors to your website. Any site which tells you otherwise IS LYING TO YOU. Period.
As discussed earlier, any enterprise depends on some kind of marketing, promoting or advertising to bring in business: this includes WORD OF MOUTH. That, is marketing as well. On line, you have many different resources to choose from and a well balanced marketing campaign includes a little bit of everything! So, you will want to do some email marketing, ffa posts, run your sites on traffic exchanges, find some good adboards and etc.
And, while you will find good free resources, you will also want to purchase resources as well. These are some of the more “traditional” tools you will want to have in your marketing arsenal:
1. Safelist “Submitter”. You want a good, commercial type submitter that offers lots of features including: auto join, auto validate BOTH contact and list addresses, auto submit ads, banners and mailbox cleaners.
http://xtreamsubmitter.safelisthosting.us/is a good example of a email center that features all the above and many other “value added” resources. One of the major considerations of belonging to a submitter is that you need two “pop3” mailboxes. Your typical web based mailbox like yahoo, msn, aol, and gmail will not work for submitters.
2. Adblasters. These typically blast to lists and members and do not require email “validations.” http://2xoptin.com/blastomatic/cgi-bin/main.cgi?Xtreamnet is an excellent adblasting tool that is highly affordable.
3. FFA Submitter. There are many good ones out on the net. These are basically huge “classified” boards which people post their ads and sites on for free. I am especially partial to Massive FFA Submitter which is included in your http://xtreamsubmit.msnethosting.com/ membership. Another good board is found here: http://www.easyblaster.com/links_inc.php?ref=74
4. Daily leads from Pro FFA boards. These are the emails of people who posted their sites and ads on FFA boards. These are both good FFA sites:
http://xtreamffa.msnethosting.com/ and Massive FFA.
5. Safe lists. If you belong to a submitter, you will belong to hundreds of these. But if you are not ready for that kind of financial commitment or are still testing the waters, here are several good ones which are free to join:
http://www.xtream.safelist2go.us/list.php
http://www.listbank.net/sl/Paid2Read_Safelist/
http://xtreamsurf.safelist-nation.com/
6. SafeAdLists. Unlike “traditional” safelists, you do not need the big pop3 mailboxes. SAL sites house the ads on the site itself, meaning you log onto the site to view and then post your ads.
http://www.impressions-hosting.com/Xtream/admin/login.php
7. Ad boards like Search Estate. http://www.searchestate.com/uws/mn1233805.htm These are free, give you a website in which to promote all your affiliate sites, and also “billboards” that appear on the search engine page.
8. Traffic Exchanges. These are sites where you “exchange” ads. You post your site and receive credits to run them by viewing other member sites. These are very effective resources to get your sites actually “seen” by people. http://www.xtreamsurf.com
9. Blogs. Short for (we)Blog, these are basically magazines or journals in which members post “articles” concerning what ever is the specialty of that particular Blog. These are great mediums for finding information and resources. http://xtreamsurf.blogspot.com/ , http://xtreamnet.blogspot.com/

Your online Business, Part 5
Picking and choosing an on line opportunity should take as much care and consideration as it does to marry someone. Granted, lots of time we don’t spend enough time choosing our life mates, and that is usually done to many lasting regrets. Hence, we keep the divorce lawyers happily employed.
However, it is extremely important to choose an op carefully. For one thing, you are usually going to be investing your time and money in something that you want to be a. proud of b. able to promote and c. that is legitimate! YOUR name becomes aligned with what ever site it is you decide to promote and oftentimes your reputation.
Now, the Net is big, but not so big that people don’t get to know others by name or reputation. I have only been active on the Net for a little over a year now and can name lots of names of people I wouldn’t trust a single penny to let alone my time, energy and own meager reputation. Whether a “newbie” or a well seasoned veteran of internet marketing and opportunities there is one absolutely necessary thing you MUST do when considering a site: READ WHAT IT SAYS!
That seems so simple, but you would be amazed at the sites I see all the time that people promote and you just know they have not read or understood what that site is all about. There is currently a couple sites making the rounds making outrageous promises of “1 million $ in 12 months”, and “Make 1.2 million monthly surfing.” Right. I OWN surf sites and I know I cannot pay anyone 1.2 million monthly surfing EVER! My partner is heavily involved in good, solid pay to surf sites and is in NO WAY making millions of dollars. Programs who make those types of claims are scams of the first degree and one needs to run away from as fast as possible.
When considering a site, read what it it is saying about itself. Does it say “free” on one hand and then tell you to make a one-time investment of $39.00? Or, my favorite, does it tell you that they will GIVE YOU $19.50 to “test drive” their site? (After you paid your $39.00 of course.) No matter how you do the math 39 - 19.50 still means you are out of pocket $19.50! Just tell me it costs $19.50 to join and be done with it. Don’t pull out a bunch of hoyie and hokum to part me from my money.
Run away from. Then, after you join, test their word and promises. HOLD THEM TO IT! Stuff happens and everyone understands that, but a site that does not live up to its promises, no matter how “small”, run away from quickly.
Conversely, the ones who do keep their word are “keepers”. I have been very impressed lately with Cashflowpc. About a month ago we had some serious communications problems and issues and I blasted the management, especially Joel. To their lasting credit, Joel and Brad addressed the issues we were having and more than “made things right.” They did not make excuses, come back to the Xtream organization with an attitude, or pull any nonsense.
What they did do was correct some mistakes after stating that they HAD made some!! Wow. I can count on one hand (with fingers to spare) the number of times THAT has happened. Quality act by quality people. Do you think I will be promoting Cfpc for years to come? You bettcha. This is the kind of opportunity to latch onto and keep forever. Rather like my husband.

Your online business, Part 4
There is one thing you can absolutely, with out question, count on when it comes to online busness: If a scam and/or scammer was successful once, THEY WILL BE BACK. Most sites which practice and deceptive or out and out fraudulent businesses do so over and over again because of the very nature of the Net: it is big.
However, a little investigation prior to signing up for a company or site can yeild good results and sometimes prevent a lot of grief (and lighter pockets.) One thing you can do is run what is called a whois. A whois is a look up service that takes the domain you are considering and comes back with information like who owns the site, admin email address, physical addresses, telephone numbers and other business informatiion. I use this service a lot: http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/whois/index.jhtml
One of my favorite scammers who just keeps coming back again and again with basically the same programs over and over again operates out of Queensland Australia. He runs the same basic scam over and over again, using the same type programs and even the same wording on every program he starts and then closes. I first joined one of his traffic sites back in Jan. 2004. He also offered an "investment" program that ran along side his traffic site. I never upgraded or invested in the paid programs, but watched them both with interest as I surfed the site to market my own sites.
About 3 months after joining, it simply disappeared. Gone, left the building, no where in sight. Then, later late spring, early summer, I started seeing email ads for the programs. The owner claims to have been hit by hackers, then massive host/server issues in which he lost his database and etc. But, he wasn't going to let that "get him down." I was cool with that. So, I rejoined and invested in his paid program as well. Then I promoted his site - a lot.
When he started back up, it was with the claim that he would be the #1 paid to surf site on the planet. That no other paid to surf site would compare to what he would be paying and etc. And, he set a date for that paid to surf to begin. I promoted his site - a lot. Date for paid to surf came and went. Wrote him. No response. Couple weeks later, lots of promises on paid to, still nothing. I wrote him again. No response.
Now, all this time I had been promoting his site based on the paid to surf motif. So, I am starting to look like a scammer here. I finally got the owner to answer my emails and an "frank" series of emails entailed. He deleted my account and my very large downline. He did refund my investment, so I was not out that. Paid to surf never materialized. Then, towards the end of the year 2004, his site went down AGAIN! Same story, same mysterious hacker, same host/server issues, same loss of database. Good bye everyones money who had upgraded at his account and invested in his other programs. Then, he disappeared again.
Only to resurface recently with yet another traffic site! And, as before, although calling this one something different, he uses THE EXACT SAME PHRASES AND CLAIMS AS BEFORE. Upon seeing the site, I ran a quick whois, and sure enough, there he was and guess what? His site WENT DOWN AGAIN!!! Same story, same reason as all the times before.
You really have to wonder about some one who runs a business that is constantly being run out of business for the same reasons. Usually one learns and takes precautions. Lol.
His site is back up and, again, making the same promises of guarantees, best paid to anywhere and of course this: This exchange is not running in the paid to surf mode just yet. The exchange is open to free members at the present time, so enjoy the benefits.
Since this time, I have my own traffic sites and have gone through hackers, host/server issues and etc. Stuff happens, you get through it, you take precautions, get on with the business at hand. Usually, if it involves money, you have database backups and etc. Back ups are highly restorable. Except when you don't want them to be.
So, when you are looking to get involved in a site as an affiliate or as a business, a little investigation and a whole lot of questioning are in order. Even if we are not talking about a lot of money, we are talking about your time and effort! Not to mention that if you are going to be involved in something, you want it to be a good reputable site, not something that engages in "shady" business practices.

Your online business, Part 3
Last time we left off here: "However, all is not lost or gloom and doom! The point and purpose of these articles is to 1. Make you aware and then 2. Show you how to analyze so you can 3. Pick the great opportunity and affiliate sites out there worthy of your time, effort and money."
This is where logic kicks in. Every business in our know Universe is subject to basically the same principles: 1. You have costs and overhead 2. Your profits come from a positive difference between costs and sales 3. How you treat your customers/members and affiliates have a direct impact upon the health and longevity of your business as do 4. Your moral and ethical business practices as a whole.
So, there you are, lured by promises of a site. Time to analyze. You must review every point of a site, test it and make sure it makes sense and does not contradict another claim or statement. To do this, you are going to use a very simple and basic logic formula: t + t + t = t or true + true + true = true. In order for a site/opportunity to add up every thing must be true! It is simply impossible to have true overall statements if any element of the statement is false. Period.
You find a site that offers you 1. free membership. You need to test that statement by reading the FAQ, perhaps continuing on to the sign up page. If you then find in the FAQ or at the sign up page you must now PAY SOMETHING, this statement is false. This is not free, it was a ploy to get you to sign up for something probably to harvest your email, or to lure you into making a payment. When I see this, I need go no further. This site is a complete waste of my time.
Site has free membership, is free and you sign up for it only to discover: 2. You must upgrade, upbuy or purchase something to benefit from the site. More waste of time. And deceptive. Tell me upfront what it costs to benefit: do not waste my time luring me with promises of free membership which is essentially useless. This is a false statement and renders the entire site false and not worth your time.
3. Site tells you that you will not have to sell or promote to earn. ??!! How does any one figure this? Now, if you are talking about some online banking investment thing like a certificate of deposts or savings account, yes, ok that can happen. You do not see very many of these as sites offering cds and savings accounts must be registered and secured within the banking industry of some country!! Off shore does not count here. Otherwise, any business you invest in involves goods and or services and promotion to bring customers to your offered goods and or services. ANY SITE WHICH TELLS YOU OTHERWISE IS LYING. Also called "smoke and mirrors."
These are three facts to consider this article...next time we discuss the "repeaters" and how to investigate and then avoid those.

Your online business, Part 2
Last time we discussed your online business in terms of off-line business and left you with this question: "consider all the 'opportunity' sites, product sales sites and etc you have ever seen and see today. What happens when you decide to go with that site?"
We are now going to address this question as it is a very important one. Once you go to a particular site to examine it more closely and perhaps even sign up for it, do you thoroughly examine that site first? Do you read and analyze what it is saying or telling you? Does what you read add up?
This is important to address because in my experience and what I see on a daily basis at my traffic exchanges specifically and within the safelists as well: 50% or more of the sites offering opportunities do not add up to legitimate businesses or anything in which one should spend anytime promoting, any money on, or in any way consider investing any of their resources in!
I am going to take this discussion back to article 1. Every business, opportunity or whatever is subject to and governed by proven business facts and principles. Period. Every business, opportunity, or whatever has costs, upkeep, and advertisting to consider. Every business PROVIDER is subject to the same principals of business! Online or off. Every provider either adheres to sound business practices and principles or does not. Online or off. Every provider adheres to moral and ethical business practices or not. Online or off.
It is up to each of us to decide whether or not a business provider is adhering to good business practices and governing themselves under sound moral and ethical principles.
To repeat myself, 50% or more of the sites I see on my traffic and safelist/email marketing sites fail the above litmus test. Yet, people with generally good common sense flock to these sites, join, pay money for, promote and otherwise waste their time and resources on for no other reason than it is on the internet. People, who in the offline world would scream "scam" and run away from immediately, are for some reason hypnotized into thinking that all those "too good to be true" sites and other affiliate venues are just the best thing to hit the planet ever.
They are not....yet, these sites and the people who run them COUNT ON THIS VERY REACTION FROM YOU! Just like they count on you to not make a fuss over $2, $10, $25, or whatever it is you end up losing with them. Just like they count on you to not make a fuss over the hundreds of hours you spend promoting their site, or the money you spend to promote them. They win regardless of what you do or happens to your account. And, when they disappear, the only reappear again under another name to prosper because they know there is no one to prevent this from happening and the next batch of members will be just like the first.
Pretty sad and discouraging all in all.
However, all is not lost or gloom and doom! The point and purpose of these articles is to 1. make you aware and then 2. show you how to analyise so you can 3. pick the great opportunity and affiliate sites out there worthy of your time, effort and money.
Think on this a bit. Part 3 is next.

Your online business, Part 1
Let us talk about your online affiliate businesses in context of non-cyberspace, offline business realities:
1. What we call an affiliate on line is usually a “dealership” or “Franchise” or even “Representative” offline. Dealerships/Franchises/Representatives are businesses. Dealerships can be very company or product specific. For example: Tupperware, Ford Auto Dealerships, BlockBuster Franchise, Avon, MaryKay, JiffyLub, GoodYear, Hallmark stores. In these cases you represent a very specific company and product.
Or, you can incorporate a lot of different companies, products and services under one roof: Mega Discount stores, your local grocery store, DollarStore, your local furniture store, combined Auto Dealerships representing more than just one company, your Insurance Agent, your Doctor, Lawyer, the florist. The list goes on and you see my point here. In each and every case, the business entity must have inventory, stock, goods and services in place to sell at retail. The need location, a building for business and all that goes with that. Advertising and marketing to bring in business. Good customer service to keep your customers coming back.
Look at something simple like Tupperware: in order to be a “hostess”/dealer you have to buy your basic product kit; sales literature; business stuff like order forms, credit card forms, etc; nifty case to carry it all in; the “goodies” you give away. Any advertising or promotions you do is up to you and on your budget. You pay for your own gas going to the parties, you pay for shipping, business cards and your time. If you become a “dealer” you pay for the office and warehouse space and employees to run the operation.
The same goes for each and every business you drive by on your way to work, home, while on vacation. The same goes for every business you patronize! The same goes for your grocery store, the Electric Company, even the company you work for.
Businesses purchase what they need wholesale or at group pricing, through their franchise or network. You make a profit from the difference of all your overhead and cost of goods. Why is WalMart, for example so successful? For many reasons, but one is that every store participates in the “Group” purchasing and distribution system. This is the one thing that Sam Walton brought to a fine art. Every single store gets group pricing no matter where they are located. And, the regional huge-mega WalMart distribution centers ensure each store, no matter where the heck it is, receives those products in a way to meet demand and maximize profits.
Then, you need to advertise. Yep, cannot live without it. Cannot prosper without it. Now, if you belong to a group, franchise and or etc, you buy into national and international advertising at group rates, if that is part of your business, to obtain customers. You purchase local advertising. You do what ever is needful to obtain customers and sales. These are well founded and common business factors you meet in the off-line world of commerce. Going back to WalMart again, besides their group purchasing and distribution centers, they have killer NATIONAL advertising that reaches into EVERY TINY COMMUNITY in the US. Every local Walmart store advertises in local newspapers, shoppers, and via radio and television via Corporate Advertising Rates. Tupperware and Avon have a nation-wide name recognition. As do Ford, Goodyear, JiffyLub. Mary Kay might be nation wide, might not. Actually Ford has international name recognition. The point being here, if you are a Ford or Tupperware representative, (you) and your product have instant name recognition due to massive advertising and promotional campaigns.
2. We are in cyber-commerce. The basic principles apply. Except we call our dealership/franchise/representative owners “affiliates”. Being online, we don’t have to fork over all the money for building or office space and all that goes with THAT! We wear a lot of hats so unless we have partners in our business we have no employee overhead. But what we do have are two things: 1. Cost of goods/services/products and 2. Marketing/advertising costs.
With me so far? Now, consider all the “opportunity” sites, product sales sites and etc you have ever seen and see today. What happens when you decide to go with that site?
Take your time and think on this, we will continue in the next article.

Opposites Attract, part 2; meet SAL
Last time: Love it or hate it, email and link marketing is an integral part of advertising and promoting on the Internet. In the last article we discussed “mass email marketing.” This is great for getting the word out on your site/ad/opportunity to as wide a reach as possible in a relatively short time.
The opposite is the more intimate, one on one venue you find with sites like SafeAdsList or SAL. You can find a good example here at http://www.impressions-hosting.com/Xtream/ . You can join as a free member and get the upgrade to Pro. Then admin will add a solo and banner ad spot for you. SAL is the exact opposite of “mass marketing” email.
You do not get massive emails sent to your inbox. You do not have to have a huge inbox for your SAL email. Email will consist of your Admin support email (which you want to read to keep up with what is going on with your SAL site) and solo ads - if you elect to receive solo ads. You can choose not to. Frankly, I do and would recommend it as you get more credits for reading those than the daily ads posted to the SAL site. (Which I recommend you read as well.)
The whole concept is simple: log onto SAL, read the dailies (very quick do as the sites zip along when you press “next”.), post your own daily (regular text or html), add your solo ad or banner (found in the “advertisers” section). Boom you are done.
The really nice thing about SAL is you can develop a real relationship with the owner/admin and possibly the other members! SAL is also being tested by Traffic Hoopla for responsiveness and so far the early returns are positive and thumbs up for our gal SAL!

Opposites Attract! Part One
Love it or hate it, email and link marketing is an integral part of marketing on the Net. Combine this with trying to reach the ENTIRE NET and this becomes daunting concept to approach. Like where do you EVEN BEGIN!? Add in the countless ads in your face flaunting that THEY have the answer and all these promises of instant success, wealth and fame (or at least a good healthy 6 income figure allowing you to quit your day job in the non-cyber world and the opportunity to tell you boss to take a flying leap into the abyss), it becomes downright disheartening. Especially when after 6 months or so it becomes apparent you will just have to hang on to that lil’ ol “I quit” love note to your immediate supervisor.
Truth is no one place, product, company or site holds all the answers. And, chances are you will not ever reach across the entire net. However, there are great places to start your marketing odyssey and desirable resources to add to your marketing portfolio. And Email marketing ranks high on the list!
The next series of articles will deal with Email and link marketing, what to look for, (what to run away from), what to expect from a product or service, and what constitutes a good buy. We will start with the concept of “mass email marketing”:
Mass Email Marketing: When you want to get the word out to the broadest reach possible, you go with Mass Email Marketing. This means Safelist submitters, Pro FFA accounts with daily leads, FFA submitters and Adblasters. (Just to name a few). You can search and find and join a number of the aforementioned. You can find them free, pay to obtain and etc. Whatever you are looking for when it comes to “mass email marketing”, the best sites offer a wide range of services and products. Now, while numbers do count, you must balance this with the fact that broadcasting to 40 million members is only a drop in the overall internet bucket. However, you want to get as wide as reach as possible, getting your name and site out there for at least "name recognition", and that usually means Submitters.
When it comes to Safelist submitters you want to look not only for numbers of lists, but UNLIMITED VALIDATIONS FOR BOTH LIST AND CONTACT EMAILS. This is an absolute requirement now. Safelists are now requiring that you verify BOTH emails. The standard Safelist Submitter on the market now only validates ONE email box (usually your list address) and ONLY ONE TIME. This means that as new safelists come on board and you join, you end up having to hand validate your two email accounts every time you join the lists.
This ALSO means that if something happened the first go around with your email account and loads of lists did not get verified: too bad. One time validation for one email. So, you want to look for submitters that offer this wonderful service: THE VALIDATOR. Mr V is industrial strength validations for both email addys each and every time you join the lists. These are three lists which use Mr V: postadsubmitter, FastAdSubmitter, XtreamSubmitter.
The next thing you look for in a submitter are all the “value-added” goodies: banner ads, mailbox cleaners, link trackers are a start. Associated Email marketing resources like Adblasters, Daily leads, FFA submitters and similar products lend great value to your membership at a Safelist Submitter. Software downloads do as well, especially if they are marketing related.
The other thing you want to look at is member support. How does the owner/admin respond to your emails? How do they respond to issues? Let me assure you that Safelist Submitters, no how simple they seem, are extremely complex sites and STUFF HAPPENS. How support responds to issues is always a key factor in my eyes. I have always had fantastic member support from all of Debra's sites, (fastads, postads, Mr V) and have tried to emulate her in many ways.
Bottomline: product, addon products, service and support makes or breaks a site. Spend money only on those which deliver.
Next time: The opposite of Mass Marketing! Meet SAL

SAL Easter Special Rocks The Season!
SAL, short for SafeAdList, the brainchild of Debra Challinor author of "SAFELISTS WARRIOR™ INSIDER SECRETS" continues to stir things up on the Net in a big way. Traffic Hoppla has agreed to test her for responsiveness and to celebrate this Debra is offering a fantastic special loaded with extras for the owners and goodies to offer their members.
SAL is "hands on" email marketing. Members logon to read the ads and post. Banners are prominently displayed in every area. You earn credits to fuel your own advertising by reading ads. Credits are deducted from your account only when people read your ad.
SAL is intimate email marketing at it's best - more of a community than simply another list to send emails to. You get to know the Admin/owners and the members. Yes, you need "mass email marketing" for sure. However, you also need a more personal venue as well. This is were SAL excels.
As a business, SAL is a wonderful compliment to your other marketing sites. SAL adds balance and appeal to any marketing and advertising portfolio. I have XtreamSal balancing my XtreamSubmitter and am quite pleased with the results so far.
The business special package Debra is offering is a great opportunity to obtain a SAL for your own portfolio. But, you must hurry as this offer ends midnight Sunday March 27, 2005.

Free Paid to program that works!
PPC Appraisal Program Autosurf is a free program.You can automatically search up to 1500 search engines per day. and getpaid everytime.I have been running this new program daily and have earned about $450 sofar. I was notified today by my sponsor that he received his first payment. A nice big fat check for more than $5000.This is truly amazing.
It's easy to download, totally FREE!The main page of the site is not informative or too impressive,but it does make money and does not require anysponsoring, although you may invite others for faster profit.
It costs nothing to join and make money. Once set up, you don't have to doanything, and you can track your income up to the second. You never have to pay anything at any time. Feel free to use this text and put YOUR affiliate URL you get from PPC Appraisal in prior to advertising. This is still a relatively unknown program, meaning there is still a lot of potential for you to get a lot of people signed up before everyone joinswhen word gets out that it is paying.
There is not a lot of information at the website, so I will explain to you EXACTLY how to do this program.The way to make some real money is with referrals. You receive 5% of theearnings made by everyone under you.The program works similar to "click on search engine and get paid" kindof programs, except for 3 things.1) You don't have to click on any links--it's all run automatically inthe background like an auto-surf.2) It doesn't give you just one search engine that makes you money. Right now there are 21 search engines that run within the program. PPC Appraisal has imposed a 1500 click per day limit.
You are autosurfingso you can't really know how many "clicks" you do, but it averages about 4hours of running before you hit 1500. When all 6 of your browser windowsare blank, YOU HAVE REACHED THE MAXIMUM LIMIT! The way it works is that each search engine builds up a separate total ofyour surfing time. You have to reach an amount of $40-$60 before you get paid from each separate search engine.
Note: Don't let the boring looking site discourage you, once you are setup, it's fun watching your income rise, in real time, for doing little tonothing!Here are the instructions to get started, and you may want to print thisout first: You must go here and fill out the form: http://www.freewebs.com/wileepeyote/index.htm
Where it says Company Name put: ppc appraisal. For URL/Site put: ppcappraisal.com For TAX ID N/A Fill the rest out normally. Now login. That will take you to a menu. Click on Requests. At the bottom of the page,hit Select All, then Request. After that, back to the bottom of the page andclick Page 2, then Select All, then Request. If there are MORE than 2 pages (and there will be soon),do the same for EACH page.
DO all the above first! This is really neat....it just sits in the background and runs and earnsy ou money.! After you have had this running for a while go to your PPC account andclick on statistics and watch the different search engines appear and total your money earning. Here are the further instructions. If you follow the instructions exactly (step by step) you should have no problem. Please download a file called test33 and SAVE it to your Desktop inWindows' drop-down box: http://www.freewebs.com/wileepeyote/index.htm
Login to PPC appraisal and on the menu and select Campaigns.Copy or write down your Portal Url which is the one listed on the page. Your referral URL is listed elsewhere under Account Manager. Make sure theurl has the word PORTAL l in it.It will look like the below: http://www.freewebs.com/wileepeyote/index.htm
After downloading run the test33.exe program by clicking on the test33 onyour desktop (or other location you saved it to) Go to Tools in the Test 33 browser, then Analyst, then Act, then SETUP. You'll see two empty squares. On the lower left side click APPEND. A popup window will open. Type the words Set1 in it and click OK. It will disappear. Now the small window on the left you shouldsee Set1 inside of it. Then paste the Portal Url that you copied from the PPC website into thelarge right window on the right and click OK..
Back to Tools, Analyst, Act, then hit SET1 The url will load. Then Tools, Analyst and hit LOOP. Then click on Navigation. Click on the word Six at the bottom. This will open up 6 separate search engine browsers, so instead of justgetting paid from 1 at a time it pays you for 6 at a time. The Test 33 program will start clicking on search engines.
There are 21 search engines in that one url. If you shut it off, or get booted, just run the Test 33browser go to Tools/Analyst and hit Loop, and Navigationand 6 to start it all up again. Do not touch any settings. Once you get this set up you can minimize the window and go about whatever you normally do.
Feel free to use all of the information I have sent you to refer others. Do change my URL to the one for you. These are just search engines that get runthrough this program. What they are doing is paying to try to improve their numbers with Alexa so they have a better chance of competing with the big boys like Yahoo and Google. This means that YOU benefit!

How SiteBuildIt helps me market
Last article we looked at building an initial site. Now I add two affiliate programs related to vintage cars on the web page .I get paid a fee when people buy vintage cars through me. The people visiting my website are really interested in vintage cars, so they think of owning a vintage cars and they go click one of my affiliate links and choose the car of their choice and a sale is made and I get paid the commissions. Its Highly targeted. See how SBI! targets the right customers from the search engines.
It is vital you develop a relationship with your visitors. An essential
Way to do this is through e-zines or newsletters. SBI includes a fabulous tool in this regard the E-zine Publishing tool and it does it all.
- I can import and export email lists.
- I can archive my newsletters at my website, which by the way will
help me with the Search Engines.
- I can do mail merges.
- I can instantaneously create subscription boxes for my site.
- I can send out beautiful HTML emails, which I build block by block in
a similar fashion to my pages.
- I can use SBI‘s SpamCheck to analyze my email for spaminess, so I can
make the changes necessary in order to avoid my email getting filtered out by ISPs.
- Each of these HTML emails will contain a hidden pixel, so when it
arrives at a subscriber‘s computer, if the computer cannot read HTML, the email will automatically be converted into text. Remember, SBI has removed the need for me to understand technology
- And, I will be allotted 5,000 Mail Outs a month through this tool,
which is quite a lot for any small business. But if I need more I can purchase larger limits at very cost-effective prices.

HYIP or HRIP?
Question:
I have a question on HYIP programs I have seen on the Net: are they just another “doubler” in sheep’s clothing or are they legitimate producers. I'm sure there are some that are crooked, and maybe some that are not......Here is sample of one home page.. I don't understand all I know about it:
12 days deposit. 600%
Plan Spent Amount (US$) Profit (%
Standard Plan $1 - $200 300.00
Expert Plan $201 - $500 450.00
VIP Plan $501 and more 600.00
Thank you for your time and opinion of this type of program. John
Answer:
Ok, in the finance world there are plans and services called "High Yield Investment Plans." Of course what you also must understand and appreciate is that these plans, even the best of them managed by rock-solid companies are also: High Risk Investment Plans! So, whenever I see HTIP I replace it with HRIP.
These plans usually involve the managing company investing in something that has an immediate or "quick" turn around....like pork belly futures just before the market opens, or other fast pace wall street type trading investment. They are "betting that they will buy low and sell high quickly thus realizing a ROI sometimes in that day (or hours.) But, it is still a "gamble" and there are often times more losers than winners.
When looking at a hyi/hri I would consider the following:
1. Who is the managing company? are they rock solid? do they have a history? usually a whois on the domain can at least give you a clue. I look for corporate affiliations, date established, date domain expires and etc. Ken, my partner in all things Xtream, usually does a follow thru by contacting the management of the company and asking some questions about them and the program in question.
2. What is the money being invested in? What exactly is being done to create that "yield?" Sometimes hyi are based of off gold standard and international currencies. What ever it is that is producing the "yield" (or not), you need to know this. If they are basing "yield" off of new members investing money, it is a "doubler" in another form. Doublers are inherently unstable for a number of reasons.
These are absolutely 2 things which must be investigated before committing money to a company: including FUNDING. I hate that term, just another way to say "spend your money with us." Because that is EXACTLY what you are doing: moving your money away from your control and into the control of someone else.
3. I always take projections and guarantees with large doses of salt. You can pull figures out of hot air and make them look wonderful all day long. The only thing that matters in the end is RESULT. Equally, guarantees are only good as long as the company is still around so that determines final "result."
Given the limited info provided, I would suggest thorough investigation prior to committing money. Period. I would not give them a single penny until I know for sure who they are and if they are really legit. A lot of people out there count on a member being able to "lose" a couple dollars!!! Get enough of them and you have a sizable income for offering nothing more than pretty words on a site and a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Bottom line: be skeptical, do the research and keep your money in YOUR OWN hand
Sincerely,
Cherie Halliday

Site Build It Rises to the Top!
Did you know Site Build It! has overtaken Microsoft Central Professional, Verisign Web Business, Yahoo! Web Hosting? They were the leaders in the Hosting business. Now its no more . SBI ! has risen to the top with an alexa rating of 186 as of writing. These articles are about the secret which made SBI rise to the top all by word of mouth.
What is Site Build It?
Site Build It! is a complete suite of tools that enables you to build An affiliate business without knowing all the technical stuff. It takes you by the hand and shows you how to create a successful affiliate business. (It's not only for affiliate sites, but that's a good use for it.) It helps you research and brainstorm a topic, and helps you choose PROFITABLE keywords - ones with high demand and low supply. Then, even if you don't know any HTML, at the push of a button it builds web pages for you - all you have to do is write the articles, on topics in which you're interested.
Next, you click the "Analyze It" button and it shows you how to improve the page so that it will be found in search engines. You don't even have to submit the site to search engines. It does all that, too, in a search engine-friendly way. There's a whole lot more to it, but that's the essence.
Click here to learn more:
Site Built It!
http://buildit.sitesell.com/freewareguru.html
Let's see a simple story.
When I started thinking about building my first affiliate site with Site Build It! I was worried. The marketing hype surrounding Site Build It! and all its wonderful features sounded good but there was no proof that these features would help me make money. In fact I was not entirely convinced that decent money could be made by affiliates who sold actual products rather than marketing ebooks. Well, I'm pleased to say that if you do things properly there's plenty
Of money out there. Of course the first and biggest step in doing things Properly is getting Site Build It! .
Click Here to get it http://buildit.sitesell.com/freewareguru.html
Now, the thing I really love about SiteSell is: you need not know HTML!
I was worried at first, but did not need to be. Building a site with Site Build It! does not require any knowledge of HTML. In fact I found building a site with Site Build It! was a very easy way to slowly get to grips with HTML coding. With Site Build It! you simply include as much or as little HTML as you want.
Next I proceed to choose the content of my site. The Site Build It! Action Guide recommends that you choose a topic for your web site that you are interested in. I wholeheartedly agree with this. My topic of interest was Vintage cars. I used the research tools which Came with Site Build It ! to find out the profitable keywords related to my topic and it gave around 40 -50 related keywords and ranked in order of profitability. These winning keywords are which people enter into the search engines.
I write some content for the website keeping in mind the winning keywords. When people visit your site they want to read something interesting related to the keyword they typed in. So I write a set of 3 articles relating to Vintage cars. One of the articles is "Maintaining your Vintage cars" . When someone does a search on the above article and my webpage comes in the search engine in the top 10 then there is a chance of the article being read.
Writing several good articles optimized to attract people from the search engines is a MUST. Try to squeeze in as many profitable keywords into your articles. What is vital to understand here is that what works on the Net is writing about what you know about what you love and this is fun. Your goal is to offer great information in a warm and credible
Voice to develop a relationship with your visitor and make them feel they have come to the right place.
You must make sure that while writing on a topic or niche that you Enjoy the content is being written in a way that it will rank well at major Search Engines. This in turn automatically attracts targeted traffic to your site. Site Build It ! also gives you clear cut advice on how to optimise your Web pages for each search engine. Now you choose the domain name of your choose. REMEMBER never choose your domain name without using the research and brainstorm tool in SBI! .The domain is already included in your SBI! package. You just have to choose a domain name of your interest. I settle for vintage-cars.com .
I design a few web pages for the site.SBI! automatically submits your Web pages so you should have those articles ready in hand on the web site so that the search engine spiders have something to crawl. Building web pages with SBI ! is a breeze its just click and drop. No Knowledge of HTML is necessary.

The future of Safelist Ownership is NOW!
There is a new concept on the Net that is exciting both as a End User and as a Business Owner, and that is the SafeAdList, brain-child of the Safelist Warrior Queen herself Debra Challinor. This is NOT another Safelist, rather, it is the FUTURE of safelists. It is a very user-friendly, easy to maintain list builder and email marketing tool designed with one thing in mind: to actually get your ads read! http://www.impressions-hosting.com/Xtream/
The list is easy to join and offers members a choice of memberships. Members collect points to run their own ads by reading other members’ ads onboard the site. No emailing, no dealing with bounced mails, no validation headaches. (Except you do have to verify your main email once in order to use the list. Best of all, you ONLY have points deducted when someone actually READS your email.
There are solo ads available and you CHOOSE whether or not to receive them. Receiving them is actually a good thing as you earn double points with solo ads. Banner ads are available as well. These are all found in the “advertisers” menu.
Navigating the members’ area is easy with icons to the various sections all down the far left hand side of the screen. The same goes for navigating the Admin site. In fact, the thing that strikes me the most concerning SafeAdList is that appears to have actually been put together by a MEMBER rather then some techno-guru-meister! (Hey, some of my best friends are TGM’s but I still have no idea what they are saying to me half the time, lol.)
Everything is simple to use and easy to load. Best of all, as in all of Debra’s services and products, she delivers superior customer service. This is my fourth Safelist and by far the easiest to set up and manage I have encountered. From a business perspective, I highly recommend adding one to your portfolio. It is affordable, new, cutting edge, exciting and a rapidly growing concept.
Take a look at the product from a member’s viewpoint by joining my list: https://www.xtreamsurf.com:2096/horde/services/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.impressions-hosting.com%2FXtream%2F as a free member. When you join before 3/14 you will get a free upgrade to Pro and the opportunity to add a banner and send out a solo ad. If you like what you see, you can purchase your list from Debra from the site. Then, email her with “Xtream” in the subject line. Debra is giving Xtream members an extra bonus for joining the team as an Admin/owner.
Debra Challinor is the author of "Safelist Warrior, Inside Safelist Secrets Revealed." http://safelistsinsider.poolofwisdom.com/safelistsinsider.htm?hop=xtreamsurf.peterlimShe also the force behind “THE VALIDATOR”. This is not just any onboard, one-time use validator, but the industrial strength software that provides UNLIMITED validations for ALL your emails including contact and subscription lists! (Yeah, she say that one coming for sure.) http://www.youraff.com/thevalidator/stetje.cgi?45 Some of her other sites (but are not limited to: http://www.fastadsubmitter.com/g.php?r=10 , http://www.postadsubmitter.com/g.php?r=70 , http://www.impressions-hosting.com/ffa/p.cgi?xts2004/index.html , and http://www.fas2004@just4uu.com

The Best on the Internet = CashflowPC
Hello bloggers !
CashflowPC , the most exciting, most wanted opportunity on the Internet.
This my friends, is one worth waiting for ! With Joel, Brad, and the Group back at Vortex Corporate just a working away on getting this powerplant of their's "just the way they want it", and trust me, if you have ever talked to Joel, you know that they will.
Our friend's at Vortex promised us we would have a Benefactor Voucher Tracking System in place, and we do. These folks are very high tech, and let me tell you, they definitely know what they are doing. And most importantly for them and us, is they are doing it right !
When CashflowPC / ChaChingChat / VoIP all get set up and going here very shortly, expect to be very busy, because I'm telling you, these guys at Vortex, really know what they want & what they are doing.
I will try and get Joel & Brad to sit still one of these days very soon, and get some more information out of them to update you all on how everything is going, but Joel is not one to stop and he he and ha ha, until everything is where he wants it, but I will try !
ALSO, just remember how we all got into this GREAT opportunity: XtreamNet (Cherie & Ken).
Again, here is another great example of 2 people that just don't know when to quit. I will not get into a big discussion here, but, a "Standing Ovation" is what Cherie & Ken deserve. They have built Xtream Marketing Group & XtreamNet into what it is today, and they are STILL building !
I know, because I am a very proud member of the Xtream Marketing Group & XtreamNet Group that these 2 people built, and I am damn proud to be here.
At XtreamNet, we still have some FREE Silver Benefactor's left, so go here and get yours before they are gone: http://www.cashflowpc.org/10silvers/ and use this Free Benefactor Code on your sign up form, VMINTLC77 and YOUR in !
to YOUR success,
Michael Rogers
XtreamNet Support Team Leader
