30/06/2010 My my, how the time flies

Half of the year has flown by already!  No news on the blog is good news.  Okay, nothing out of the ordinary happening, smooth sailing with both program I am currently in.

Eigeline Network is just purring along.  Note the Alexa rating as of today.  Slow steady, no big start up rush.  This is a good sign of getting over the "low summer" times. Currently having 2 running upgrades on the weekly plan and to date have been paid each week on request when due.  Looking good.

Funds-O-Matic seems to have caused a buzz around the place.  Every man and his dog is publishing reviews on the program.  I joined day 1, (25 June) so 2 July should show my first batch of weekly earnings.  I will be sure to post payment here when I receive them.  Looking at Alexra rating for the site (remembering it opened on 25 June) well took a few days for it to kick off, but moving up.

To post these graphs here will leave a historical guideline for future reference. Just another tool available to us to use. How we read the information can vary, but we need to play smarter these days.

As always, gamble responsibly. I am currently looking at a couple of opps, but to date, not being too well has hampered my research, but hopefully on the mend now. Cheers till next time :)

26/06/2010 Catch up news

I have had an interesting day/night. I think I forgot to have some sleep somewhere in between there I just wanted to do a quick update as someone might notice there have been some sites removed from the "Current Sites and Status" list.
I had two on-hold. One being MyMarketShares, well been dead in the water for ages. No response from admin Margaret and the site was left on autopilot. The revenue-share program we thought would work. lol Well not many would have got into profit there, but no earnings posted for a long long time. I gave up surfing due to infectious website were placed in the surf rotator and no one was checking them. I only noticed a few days back that the site was finally unplugged.
The other was Surf-O-Matic. On hold simply because the Admin Randy decided to wind it down and come back with a totally no surf site and worked more options in the range of plans. The new site opened yesterday Funds-O-Matic Note: Surf-O-Matic closed honorably with Randy the admin disabling deposits a couple of months back and we all continued to earn on our upgrades and were duly paid our earnings along with profits.

With the quick HYIPs, I will add an edit to the last post with my last comment as to why it isn't in my side list.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

25/06/2010 Finally arrived >> Funds-O-Matic

As a very satisfied member of Randy's previous program, Surf-O-Matic which ran for from approx 29th June last year till a week of so ago when the last active member was paid. He disabled upgrades a few months back and we all earned and received our payments with profit and were duly paid. It was a pleasurable program to be in. We have been waiting for quite some time for the new program to arrive and today it did. Just a bit of background, Randy says he trades and going by his last program which we all left with our profits, well it's something to consider.

He has plenty of Plans on offer:
Daily Plans:
Plan 1 $5 - $150  0.80%  Plan 2 $151 - $500  1.00%
Plan 3 $501 - $1,000 1.50%  Plan 4 $1,001 - $5,000 1.70%
Plan 5 $5,001 - $15,000 1.80%

Weekly Plans:
Plan 6 $5 - $150 7.00%  Plan 7 $151 - $500 8.40%
Plan 8 $501 - $1,000 11.20%  Plan 9 $1,001 - $5,000 12.60%
Plan 10 $5,001 - $15,000 14.00%

I chose a weekly plan, but I may just add a daily one as well.

To the future with FOM

As always, gamble responsibly. Don't forget to have some fun!!

24/06/2010 Crisis? What Crisis?

Like in any business there a highs and lows. Saying we are in a crisis is a bit of an over-statement as I see it, as there is always an up-side from a down. Look at the Stockmarket, house prices. All have slumps, but those who play their cards right and hang on are the ones who usually end up in the right position when the market regains.  Which inevitably they do.
Now is a very interesting market time and how should we be setting ourselves to move into the future with moneymaking?

• You could just walk away. But what's the point of that? Nothing ventured nothing gained.
• You could change with the way you do things. Try something new, a different approach.

With that said I certainly don't feel that we are at crises point as portrayed. Agreed, things aren't how they used to be, but over the years it has changed and of late we have had a downturn of viable longerterm sites. Attributing to this is those who play too seriously, or get too greedy. Nothing lasts forever online. Once you understand the "world" rules, it will become clearer. We are collectively from all corners of the globe and each country has it's own interpretation of the rules.  Online betting is a huge industry, and it's done for recreation and or income supplement.  I consider this biz the same but with a few more ingredients. Enjoy the fruits and have some fun, that's what it's all about.

So what do we have to do to get through these lean times :)  Well actually NOW is the time to lay some building blocks in the next era.  Change how we used to do things and go with the flow.  That's why I am playing some quick short term high ROI HYIPs. They will come and go fast, but timing is crucial.  Get into profit and play with proceeds. This way I am building up my reserves to fund longer term HYIPs.

Whilst others are moaning and groaning about low times :cry:  :cry:  I am diligently working on some longer term ops which are just starting out.  Eigeline Network is one of those and now is the time to get settled in there.  Of course no guarantees, as there are none in this biz, but I like this program as I think it does have huge potential and over the next few months it's will start getting more exposure.  The early bird catches the worm. Of course time will tell. Previous mentions of Eigeline Network can be found here

If you are reading here, you should know by now I am straight upfront and tell it like it is for me. The whole idea is to give a workman's (or ladies in my case) view of how things work and actual, factual experiences. No hidden agenda, unlike commercial bloggers who offer their expertise for free and with the other hand sell banner space, reviews and interviews. How can they be truly open minded? Everyone has their niche in this industry, and mine is technically at Ground Zero. I'm there as a participating member using my own funds and like many others I do take longer to get into profit than those who have referrals. So it does make me more cautious, other than jumping into something. Sorta weighing up the odds. I know there are many out there in cyberland in the same boat as me but only get access to readily available forums, monitors/blogger sites and of course those teamleaders lol (You know the ones, with the big lists) By dropping by The Shed you can get another take on the situation, if I am playing or general info, as I don't just join anything or everything as my sole purpose is to make money. I seek out, what I consider, better opportunities. Safer bets I call them.

Believe it or not, moneymaking online can be relatively stress-free if you play within your means. I win some and I lose some. lol Nobody is perfect!!

Thanks for reading. I thought I would lay my cards on the table as I always have and let's look forward to some good times ahead. They will happen.

23/06/2010 GreenMoneyFund - Snap plans - Instant payments

Okies, I am up for the challenge. Seems not too much happening these days, so I am trying my hand at some short term hyip games. GreenMoneyFund Played responsibly, we can be winners. So looking to turn a few bucks here.
A few plans to choose from:- 5 plans in all. But don't get too carried away. Worth a look as only two days old and shows an experienced admin. Will keep ya posted in the payments list as how I'm travelin.

Reminder: this IS a short straight up game to be played accordingly.

Edit: 26/06/2010 No longer playing here, due to simply, for me it's time.

22/06/2010 XodusGroup has a change of plans?

Surprised to get this email XodusGroup. Out of the blue, sorta caught me by surprise. I wrote this about them back on 9th June.. This seems way out of whack. Already running low on funds? yet says been around since 2001?  Hmm. Do you read the hidden message in this?

"Hi Dear Member,
We add new plan,
108% after 1 days
130% after 3 days
160% after 5 days
65% daily for 2 days.

You get ago profit from old plan if you want get new plan you must do deposit in new plan.
King Regards,
Paul Purcell"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This message inside under "Investment" tab.

"Now, for the sake of more improvement and stronger attendance throughout the world and because of being able to complete with our peer competitors, it is time to begin our new plan for investment so that we may achieve our long-term goals."

----------------------------------------------------------------------
My verdict? I would be extremely careful here now.  I have also been advised that withdrawals are not instant as they were before.  Just a wait and see.  But caution prevailing, moving to "on hold" just to play it safe.  I can always move it back if things improve.  But initial indications are that this is not a good sign.

Edit: 26/06/2010 No longer playing and they are no longer paying

21/06/2010 Got me thinkin' - need some stability

Reading here, there and all over the shop. You know I cannot remember a year that has had so many of the bigger programs go down like a pack of cards. I wasn't a member of some of them, but I watched them. Unique times. So where does that put me? Hmm well I have opted for what I am hopeful, the next longer term hyip. I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not a physic, so I make a move on how I translate information from here and there, hopefully giving me a safer bet. One of those safer bets comes in the form of Eigeline Network Okies, no big fanfare opening, which can be a good thing. Been running since about 3rd June. The plans are reasonable, and IF they are doing what they say they are, advertising by way of owned sites, well who knows!! I can't be anymore upfront here. The money, time and effort put into this site certainly gives it some creditability.
Back to the plans, yes you can cash-out your principle after the specified time - depending on the plan you choose:- But, remember when you do, you stop earning. So what I have done is split plans. I have two running and depending how things are going, well I will probably take one back, but on the other hand I will be in profit by then. So it is a wait and see type plan. (lol aren't they all?)
Site growth is nice and steady. The admin has advised that they have a big adverting campaign to roll out in July. I read this as a positive. Now is the time to join and gets those weekly payments cranking. As always, there are no watertight guarantees, gamble responsibly. Eigeline Network Remember the name
Earlier I received my weekly cash-out request. That's no 2 on second upgrade :)

20/06/2010 - A Life's Lesson

I know we always say yeah yeah. But seriously take a look at your life. I just did and found that I had been consumed by the day to day dramas and didn't take time for me.

I am a people watcher. Sounds bad, but I observe body language in public places. Having not had the time to venture into these places for a long time whilst on holidays in a city where I knew nobody I found old habits creeping in. I walked down the street and everyone was focused on something with no facial expression except the odd frown, and no one said hello. So me being me, I decided to see how I could infect a few people. I put on a big smile and said hello to everyone I came into eye contact with. No surprises on my end, as people respond and reply and actually smile. The process actually sparked an odd conversation, all-be-it maybe two sentences, but some more. Later sitting back watching the ocean from a coffee shop, I felt a sense of achievement for the day. I walked home with the biggest smile and skip in my step.

19/06/2010 - Reconstruction? Betcha!!

Okay as you can see I have been doing some work around here :) I had a week off work (mandatory, yet they called it "forced leave" lol) I ventured up north for a few days and enjoyed the warmer weather in the tropics. Nothing flash, but it was a break. I actually started then and with doing my usual reading and catching up on sleep, well time got away with me. As it always does. Maybe I need to concentrate on one thing at a time. Hmm, now that's food for thought :) So holiday over, back to work for me and have some interesting stuff to share over the next few days.

Hope to have some readers call bye and say hi. Enjoy your day/night>>> whatever

09/06/2010 - XodusGroupLTD

As you are aware it is "silly summer season" and not a great time of year to be jumping into HYIPs or surfs, but it is a time for some consolidation. Last week I joined XodusGroup, and tomorrow I am due for my first weekly earnings to be posted so I can withdraw. For all intents and purposes XodusGroup say they have been around since 2001. I can't find any information confirming or denying that, so we have to work with the info at hand. There spiel??

Looking for safe investment opportunity?

The question is whether it is real or not, as who really knows, anyone can have all the ducks in a row but still end up in the same place as those that don't, sooner or later. Early days here and has an internal exchanger as a bonus. So I opted to try my hand here. Slow kickoff which is good. Probably will get some limelight when weekly payments start happening.

As usual, gamble responsibily. Remember nothing lasts forever. Just trying to find that more secure gamble than most.

09/06/2010 StaunchFinances officially closed

I just received this email ):
Dear members,
I would just like to announce that Staunch Finances is OFFICIALLY CLOSED. I did all I can to make this program alive but in the end, it wasn't meant to be. There are a few reasons why this happened but I will not divulge much into it because ultimately, it is I who failed to generate enough income to keep the program going.
Deposits have been disabled since yesterday. I will continue paying whatever's left in our funds and refund those that deposited today. Please do not send anymore tickets as I will close all our email addresses. There's really no need to ask me what happened. Anyway, I wish you all luck in your future endeavors and again, I'm sorry.
Brent
Sorta to be a bit by surprise as not even the first cycle of part B, the longer term portion hasn't even completed. But none-the-less it has been a different experience to say the least!! However if you had played this like a HYIP you would have been nearly square of just a tad out of pocket. SF just wasn't meant to be it seems.

05/06/2010 - Real, Fake, Flake or FlakeEgo

I wander around the internet on a daily basis, not only do I find it entertaining but also a great learning tool. I recently came across a forum from a few years back, seems to be floating dormant in cyberspace now, but made for some interesting reading. I now finally have some words defining some moneymaking levels of achievement.
In this industry there are moneymakers, ok we play to earn, otherwise why are we here. It's a simple basic concept, as explained before, one spends money into a program (one which would seem to have a good chance of redeeming funds plus a profit from personal spend) This throws a different light on the whole situation when comparing with what popular monitor sites do with just putting anything up and promoting, some even "review" (hilarious word)but they give it a dressing down and say well the admin thinks he can pull it off blah blah blah, but we know he can't, and then mockingly, still join and show link to join, so they will get paid the referral commission. They must do this knowing that some people just join anything they put up!! Do they have no scruples at all??

Ok, back to moneymakers. We have all won and lost in this industry. Experienced is another way of putting it. To really appreciate the value of a win is to have at least at one time or another had a loss. The plan is to win more often and to enhance the chance of winning is to pick better options. We know that there are real people who make money on the internet, however we need to also be aware of those that aren't real. Fakes. Yes read the websites around showing how they earned blah blah, and yet they are selling their tricks and deals in an ebook. Common, blind Freddy knows that the guy at the top is the only one who really makes any money. You have to purchase the right to resell, then you have to work your butt off to on-sell. They call this passive earning, wow nothing passive about that. But everyone has their niche. I cannot talk people into buying anything, as I myself are skeptical at purchasing something anyway. So I have never been tempted to go down that path. Then you have a Flake. This is the term given to a fake who makes money at the expense of others. hmm I have seen plenty of them over the years lol even blatantly rub it in your face. Big liners and teambuilders come to mind, but other forum hoppers fit the category. But as long as one is aware these people exist, the better decisions will be made. But worse still,there are some who are a combination of a Fake and a Flake, and they present with a rather inflated Ego. These guys are deadly, and easy to spot with their axe to grind and regardless of what is said by non-conforming members to their way is the right way and the rest is wrong. One that on a par with a Fake/FlakeEgo but probably the same thing is the wannabe who somehow manipulates themselves, probably by deceit, to a position of power over a group of people. However most people are pretty smart and see exactly what goes on, but of course no one except those involved have the real info of the wheelings and dealings.

I know most would know all this goes on in the industry, but it's good to refresh some memories occasionally. Then again there may be some newbie's who aren't aware how treacherous this world is. It's not as easy to take people at face value in this world, many have different faces depending where you go.

So just food for thought.

03/06/2010 Eigeline - strange name, but I have a feeling it could be around for awhile

I came across this site a few days ago. For some reason really took my eye. A longer term opp. Now I am not saying it is or isn't the real thing. Who really knows. I decided to play to earn money, as I think it has potential. If played like a HYIP, who knows, this could turn some nice bucks over time. Remember nothing lasts forever, and it's always a risk. So I took the challenge. Yeah, strange name, but I am sure it will grow on me. lol It is a new site, so a great time to get in, nice'n early.

Their spiel:

30 May 2010
Welcome to Eigeline Network.
It’s an open secret that most profits for any media come from advertising and marketing. For the last decade internet has been the most fast growing media ever known to mankind. The amount of marketing possibilities that are available on the internet is to say the least remarkable if not astonishing. Yet to this day a lot of people, who are not involved in this business directly, have no possibility to use internet as a source of income or simply to turn extra profit. Today is the day things are going to change.
“Eigeline Network Corp.” is proud to announce another major project going online. Eigeline.com is a very convenient way for anyone to invest into modern internet marketing. You can find out more about ways we operate in on About Network page. Welcome again and enjoy tour stay.

Best regards,
President of the Eigeline Network Corp.

Now to the nitty-gritty. Unique script, with rather unusual routing, but gives great DDOS protection. Dragonara is in there, so thats good. SSL script in place, also a Panama business setup, Panama virtual office and live support. So all in all been setup pretty serious. Ok, in other words, quite an elaborate expensive exercise.
Plans:
Test plan 0.6% daily $15 $49 Never return
Standard 6% weekly $50 $1499 After 18 weeks
Classic 7% weekly $1500 $4999 After 16 weeks
Premium 8% weekly $5000 $19999 After 14 weeks
VIP 10% weekly $20000 $499999 After 12 weeks

The big question. Is will it last? Is it for real? Honestly who really knows. I just go on what information is available and work with that. But sure as heck looks like a better long term option than anything I see out there currently.

If you do decide to venture, remember to gamble responsibly.
