Feb 23, 2006 - Weekly PAN - MONEY BANK

Here is just another example of a dishonest program. The scam here is that the company will provide you with some kind of software that will make you $100 a day, GUARANTEED. Any time I see something like that I am immediately skeptical. So, I wrote to the company and asked some pretty tough questions. Needless to say, they never got back to me. Surprise, surprise. You can take a look at the site yourself. I am sure you will also see that this sounds way too good to be true and anybody who doesn't reply to a support email (yes, they have a contact support email address on the page) is just out to take your money. Here is the URL of this scam.

Feb 15, 2006 - Weekly PICK - HONEST INCOME PROGRAM

This is one review that I can't write because it's simply unethical to review your own program. Yes, I have put my own ebook together. It consists of 3 programs that I have found over the course of my years on the Internet that if you follow my step by step instructions in the book you WILL make money, GUARANTEED. I actually wanted to call it the Guaranteed Income Program but FTC regulations prohibit me from doing this. But trust me, you WILL earn following my instructions. Actually don't trust me. Instead, go to the site below and read the testimonials that are there. The book itself comes with Clickbank's 56 day FULL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, so you have nothing to lose.

Here is the thread at WhyDoWork.com with all the rave reviews of my book.

Feb 9, 2006 - Weekly PAN - JUVIO

Do not under ANY circumstances get involved with this company or any of its offshoots. They engage in deceptive marketing practices. I was a victim of one of their frauds. I was given all these members under me and told that if I joined in 24 hours I would be credited with their upgrades. After I joined they then told me that I would only get the upgrades for people I brought in. I immediately canceled my membership. They are some of the most dishonest people on the Internet. Here is the URL so you know what to stay away from.

JUVIO

Feb 1, 2006 - Weekly PAN - HITSINVADERS

You just have to see this site to believe it. In a nutshell, it is another matrix with a traffic exchange twist. They throw all these big numbers at you of what you can make but you'll never see more than the few cents they will pay you for each time your site is seen. The catch is, you can only do this for 90 days. Then they force you to join paid or they delete your membership. Please don't bother with this nonsense. Here is the site so you know what to look out for. The flying saucers do NOT give it credibility.

HITSINVADERS

Jan 25, 2006 - Weekly PAN - HOMETYPERS

This is worse than a home typing scam. This is actually Google Ad Words promoting Clickbank products disguised as a typing job. They don't even mention that the ads you will be typing are going to cost you money. And on top of it they charge you $97 for this service. I don't know how Clickbank lets them get away with this but please stay away from this site if you see it. Here is the URL so you know what to look out for.

HOMETYPERS

Jan 18, 2006 - Weekly PAN - LISTDOTCOM

This site is simply a variation of the original FREEMAILER. The concept is you get a matrix of 20 levels to fill. You can fill up to 5 on your first level and then after that those who you referred have to kick it into gear and sign people under them. Going down 20 levels you can have zillions of people under you who you can email your biz op to every week. Well, here's the problem with this program and all programs like it. Your average Internet marketer won't get more than 2 or 3 people tops and it will take them 3 to 6 months to get that many and then by the sixth month they will realize they aren't getting anywhere and drop out. Putting the average numbers into a calculator, on average it will take you one year to get about 50 to 100 people under you. Given that only 1 in 100 will buy your product or sign up for your program, that means you will make about 1 sale per year. I think you see where I am going with this. Programs like these just don't work but they lure people in with their impressive matrix and "possible" numbers. Reality never gets to that point. Please do yourself a favor. If you see this site just forget about it. It will only turn out to be a waste of your time. Here is the URL so you know what to look out for.

LISTDOTCOM

Jan 10, 2006 - Weekly PAN - YOUR LUCKY LIST

There is NOTHING lucky about this list. The gimmick goes like this. You sign up and get put in a random matrix where it is possible for you to end up on the top of the matrix and send to everyone in the list. Heck, I would have been happy to just fall somewhere in the middle during each random mix and send to half the list, or even a quarter of the list. But after 2 months of random mixes I have so far been able to send to all of, hold onto your hats, ZERO members. That's right. I have been at the absolute bottom of this list for 2 months. You would think that I'd at least be able to send to new people who join if they don't bring in anyone as I have just to test it out. Nope, not even them. So the advertising gimmick to get you to join is just that. It's all hype and no substance and therefor I urge you to stay as far away from these people as possible. The only way you're going to ever be able to send your offer to a member is if you bring him in yourself. Shame on these people for just a blatant promotional scam. If you want to know what to look out for, here is the URL of this shameless site.

YOUR LUCKY LIST

Jan 3, 2006 - Weekly PAN - PRO TYPIST

Just recently I reviewed a data entry "job" that you had to pay close to $100 to get. Again, any site that claims you are getting a job and you have to pay for it is NOT legit. Well, here's another one. This is a paid typing position where you get paid to type. This one is only $49.95 but trust me, there is going to be a catch somewhere and you're going to end up reporting them to the BBB. Please just stay away from sites like this. Here is the URL so you know what to look out for.

PRO TYPIST

Dec 27, 2005 - Weekly PAN - FIG

Ironically, this poor excuse for a program is really legit. They even have a toll free number to call, which is rare these days. But there are 2 problems with this program. 1) They don't have a clue about effective promotion. If you check their promotion page where they actually tell you how to promote this thing, you will see that none of the methods they suggest work. 2) Then, to add hype to stupidity, they make a claim that you can turn $13 into $18,588.60. Sad to say, that is just not realistic. Your chances of having any success with this program is slim to none. So I recommend that you stay clear of it. Here is the URL so you know what to look out for.

FIG

Dec 20, 2005 - Weekly PAN - PLAN4POWER

This will take very little explaining as to why to run as far away from this site as you can. They claim that for $25 and 2 ebook sales you can make $20,000. My friend, this is the perfect example of what NOT to bother with online. Please don't waste your time with this scam if you see it. Here is the URL so you know what to look out for.

Dec 14, 2005 - Weekly PAN - REFERRALWARE

This was a hard review to write because this company has been around for a long time but ultimately it comes down to another way too expensive program that brings too few results to those who can't afford it.

Here's the Reader's Digest version.

It's another company where you join and try to get people to join under you. They do GIVE you some okay tools but the key tool that you need, leads, is something that they don't give you. That you have to pay for, to the tune of $500 a lead group. That tells me that these are bulk harvested leads that are worthless. This explains why so few people have success with this program. The drop out rate is astronomical. Sure, you can join free and take advantage of their "tools" but none of them are going to make you any money without the leads, and THAT is where they hit you and hit you hard. Considering I can get over 60,000 leads a month for $5.50, and GOOD leads, there is just no point to even consider this program, free, paid or otherwise. There just isn't enough value in it. In case you're wondering, the tools are auto responders and click tracking tools to go along with a web site they give you. Plus you can store your leads (if you get any) in a database they give you. Well, like I said, all of this without the leads is pretty much worthless. On the site they even say, "promote your site wherever you can." They don't even tell you where or how and then when you write to them, like I did, they say, "Well, you can buy leads from us at $500 a pop." I wanted to tell this person what she could do with her leads but I decided against it. Anyway, please stay away from this program. Unless you are a seasoned marketer with knowledge of every effective advertising method you're not going to make any money.

Dec 7, 2005 - Weekly PAN - POWER FORCED MATRIX

This won't take long at all. Simply stay away from this site. It is TOTALLY fraudulent. Take a good look at the photos of the so called "success stories" on the page. You will find these SAME photos on many other sites. This is a common Internet scam, falsifying testimonials. So if this site will do that then they can't be trusted, PERIOD. Also, the checks on the page are blanked out in spots. A reputable company will NOT do that, such as my friend's company. Simply put, don't go anywhere near this site.

This is the URL so you know what to look out for.

POWER FORCED MATRIX

Nov 29, 2005 - Weekly PICK - INSIDER SECRETS

WARNING!!! This is NOT for everyone. Actually, I don't think it's for ANYONE coming to this site. This is for extremely serious people like myself who aren't satisfied with making a few hundred bucks a month and want to have 6 figure incomes yearly. This is NO BS. This is the real deal. This is what companies like Amazon.com, Google and a ton of others did to get where they are. You will build a business from the ground floor up, you will work 14 hour days at the start, you will spend a considerable amount of money in properly promoting your business and then finally, if you are dedicated, hard working and determined NOT to accept failure, you will be making the kind of money that I am FINALLY starting to see coming in. I was doing okay until I got this delivered to my home. No, it's not an ebook. It's massive, costs $197 and will take you a a bunch of Sundays to learn, but it's business 101 for the serious marketer. The other things I have reviewed and picked are great if you're happy making a grand or two a month, and for most people they are fine with that, which is why I say this is probably not for you. But if you are one of those people like me who wants more, then this is a MUST HAVE. Next year I will be having, not 1, but 6 books published that through my research I know are going to be huge sellers. No, they're not marketing ebooks. That is NOT the way to make money. There are too many of those out there. These are real books, on real subjects, that will be sold both online and in book stores. All 6 books combined are close to 600 pages. They will be sold as a package for about $29.95. The books took a ton of research and forever to write. But by applying what I learned from this package, what to promote, how to promote it, what to look out for, etc., I was able to put together something that I can be relatively sure would sell. I already did the preliminary research to see if there was a demand for this material. I wrote the proper companies, based on what this package taught me. I did EVERYTHING I was supposed to do.

Am I making it clear enough what is involved here? It will take you anywhere from 3 to 6 months or even a year to get your business to the point where you are making 8 - 10,000 per month. But it will be worth it in the end. That's if you are dedicated and willing to put in the work. Expect once your business grows to that proportion to have to hire a small staff of workers. You're not going to be able to handle everything yourself. Customer service alone will be very time consuming. My books will have my email address inside for people to contact me if they have any questions on the material. I know that someday I will need a secretary to help me answer them.

If you are one of the brave and hungry, for not just an income but a new life style, then this is for you. Seriously though, I doubt it because I have personally met very few of those types in my life. I'm that way because I failed at everything for 45 of my 48 years on this planet. I'm finally seeing some success with the simpler methods and now I am ready for more. If you are ready for more too then I invite you to join me. Just be prepared to work like you have never worked in your life.

INSIDER SECRETS

Nov 23, 2005 - Weekly PAN - WEALTH X10

Quite honestly, I don't know what to make of this company. I have done extensive research on it and while it appears legit it also appears that you can lose your shirt with this or become very rich if you know what you're doing. So let me just cut right to the chase.

There is no free membership option here and joining the company alone costs $200. You heard me right. So we're talking big bucks for some people who can't even afford a $10 a month membership. Obviously this is out of their means. From that point here is how the system works and it is VERY unique.

1. You are placed in a 2x2 matrix until you fill it. Yes, YOU have to find the 6 people yourself.
2. After you fill it you are given the benefits from another company that you MUST sign up for and it does cost a pretty penny each month.
3. After you fill the matrix for THAT company you are then given the benefits of another company that you have to join as well. Also, not cheap.
4. This goes on 10 companies deep.

Nov 16, 2005 - Weekly PICK - SECRETS OF THE BIG DOGS

I have put off reviewing this site because I felt I couldn't really be objective about it.

Why?

• They've been in existence for 5 years.
• They are a member of the BBBOnline. They don't just hand those seals out.
• I have been consistently making money from this site for 30 months now.
• The site has not only an email address contact but a postal address and phone number.
• I know Stan Stuchinski personally. He is integrity with a capital I.

Nov 9, 2005 - Weekly PAN - DATA ENTRY PRO

No long pitch is needed here. ANY program that CHARGES you for what they call a data entry job is NOT LEGIT. This one charges $99.95. Trust me, once you pay for this service you'll either find you don't qualify for most jobs or the pay is so small it's not worth it or you have to work an insane number of hours to get a decent wage, usually one-tenth of minimum wage. STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS.

Here is the URL so you know what to look out for.

DATA ENTRY PRO

Nov 2, 2005 - Weekly PICK - IT'S NO MIRACLE

This is without a doubt one of the most complex matrix programs ever put together, for the owner, not for the members. To fully explain how this works would take a lifetime and I don't have that much room so I will try to break this down to it's simplest form.

1. Membership is $25 per month
2. It is a forced 3x2 matrix
3. You get $4 for each referral you bring in
4. Members brought in by the owner are placed under the members FREE.
5. Once you reach 5 members either personally referred or placed under you, you get placed into another program that pays more money
6. You will ALWAYS get more members because the owner will continue to place new members under the membership even if they DON'T recruit.

Oct 25, 2005 - Weekly PICK - INSIDERS GUIDE TO PROFITS ONLINE

Quite honestly, I hesitated to review this book as it is a conflict of interest for me. The book is written by 2 close friends of mine and I wasn't sure if I could review it without appearing bias. But after using some of what's in this book and being so successful with it I felt I'd be doing a disservice to everyone if I didn't review it. So here goes.

The book is HUGE. There is so much in it that it can be overwhelming, and that is my one problem with it. After reading it you quite honestly don't know where to begin and if you're someone with little patience, as I am, you just put it away and say the heck with it, which is what I did for 2 years. What a mistake! I finally picked up the book this year, started with some of the simple techniques and in 2 weeks I was getting a commission check for $97.19. Yes, the stuff in this book works. It's involved, it takes a while to put into action and is NOT a get rich quick scheme. It doesn't involve MLM or getting people to join your program or any of the stuff you're used to doing. These are legit ways to start and run a business online, your OWN business. If you are one of little patience and little time then this is not for you. But if you REALLY want to be successful online then these are the methods you need to use. Take a look at their site and look at the screen prints of actual checks these guys have cashed using their methods. They make more money in one month than I have made in my 2 years of marketing online and I am VERY successful myself. When I get the time I'll be using it exclusively to use what this book has to teach me. I know it will take a while with the amount of info in it but that's okay. I'm in no rush. Just the one method, as I said, gave me a decent sized commission check after just one week. And my costs are a joke, under $5 a day.

Oct 18, 2005 - Weekly PAN - FOLDING CASH

Some sites don't even try to look legit. This one is no different. Here's the scam in a nutshell. You paste links into emails and send them out for people to sign up using their PayPal account to do so Well, when I wrote to the company to ask them simple questions like, how do I get these email addresses to send my emails to, I didn't even get a response. Another company that can't answer my inquiry because they're just a bunch of crooks. Here is the URL so you know what to look out for. Please DON'T join this site.

FOLDING CASH

Oct 12, 2005 - Weekly PICK - FREE CREDIT CARD MATRIX

I had to really be sure this was legit because it just sounded too good to be true. Much to my surprise, it is. Here is the bottom line so you know what you're getting into.

The major credit card companies have started a brand new campaign. Instead of spending millions of dollars on TV and radio advertising they are now paying US to promote their cards for them. That's right. Get someone to apply for a credit card through your site and they pay you $10 for each person who applies for and is accepted for a credit card. They will pay you up to 5 people. That's $50 just for getting people to apply for a card. BUT...For everyone THEY get to apply for a card you get $2 a piece for them. This goes down 10 levels deep. The max amount you can make is insane and you won't ever make it but you can make a decent amount of money doing this. The best thing about this is, it doesn't cost you a DIME. Just apply for and get accepted for a credit card and activate it. Don't want to use it? No problem. Just cut it to shreds. You will incur NO monthly charge and the initial rates are 0% for 12 months, so if you did want to transfer a balance you can save a lot of money on interest. Bottom line, this is the only no risk no cost opportunity online that you can actually make money with. I have tried to see any drawback to this. There are none. My only concern is that eventually the credit card companies will see that they are losing a fortune doing this and will stop the program. So my suggestion is to do this NOW while it's new and make as much money as you can doing it. Who wouldn't get a credit card that doesn't cost them anything for a chance to make $10 for each person they refer? You really have to be nuts NOT to do this.

Anyway, if you're interested, here is the URL

Oct 5, 2005 - Weekly PAN - MY SALARY

I felt I had to warn you about this turkey before you got sucked into one of the worst programs I've seen on the Internet, and believe me there are some bad programs out there. My Salary is another one of those forced matrix schemes. But this one doesn't even try to look appealing. Yes, it's only $2 a month but the commission scale is a joke. You need to get 7 members to make, ready for this, $1.40 a month. Are they kidding? And wait until you see what they offer you to promote this disaster.

1. Members Only Auto Surf Site (worthless)
2. Private Members Only Safelist (close to worthless)
3. Classified Ads Blaster (worthless)
4. Safelist Blaster (worthless)
5. Free Gifts (Big Deal)
6. Affiliate Program (A joke)

Sept 28, 2005 - Weekly PICK - RICH JERK EBOOK

Yeah, I know, you've had it with ebooks. Can't say I blame you, which is why I was very skeptical about getting this one. Just another bunch of crap that might have worked years ago but doesn't work anymore. Boy was I wrong. The Rich Jerk ebook is 38 pages (yeah that's all) of marketing tactics that just flat out work. Take a look at this site. See the Google ads all over the place? Well, this book taught me how to actually get people to click on those ads. Does his little trick work? Um yeah. Lots of his methods people would say are unethical but they're still legal so I sleep just fine at night.

In a nutshell, here is EXACTLY what the book will teach you so there are NO surprises.

1. Chapter 1 - How to create an affiliate web site that sells like crazy
2. Chapter 2 - PPC search engine strategies (where I learned about Google Adsense
3. Chapter 3 - Search Engine Optimization Strategies - One of the few things I don't believe in
4. Chapter 4 - Selling your own information product - Not as hard as it sounds I do it
5. Chapter 5 - Buying wholesale and selling on ebay - This one chapter is worth the price if the book. I would have never thought of this
6. Chapter 6 - Websites you can make profitable now - This is where you learn about the Clickbank goldmine
7. Chapter 7 - E-Currencies - A little risky but the return is off the chart if you know what you're doing
8. Chapter 8 - Some stuff he recommends that is too much to go into here. All very useful

Sept 21, 2005 - Weekly PICK - MPAM

I want to start my weekly picks off with what is probably the most comprehensive program on the Internet. They have been around for over 5 years, are a member of the BBBOnline and literally leave no stone unturned. This program gives you products to sell, instruction on how to sign up with the best marketing sites on the Internet, tons of advertising tools including the FFA Hosting that I spoke about in the advertising section and just way too much to go over in this site. I don't agree with ALL their methods of promotion, such as Traffic Exchanges, but many of their advertising methods do work and they are very explicit with their instruction. The program is free to join but quite honestly you will get more out of it if you are a paid member as there are some benefits that are only available to paid members. But even if you join free you will get a lot out of this site. It is based in Australia and the owner is constantly looking for ways to improve his service. This is without a doubt the best value on the Internet for just $19.98 a month. I have personally been a member for 4 years. The free web hosting alone is worth the price of paid membership as web hosting can cost you up to $60 a month. I strongly suggest you check out what they have to offer. The site is extensive and a little overwhelming, so take your time while you're there. If you have any specific questions about MPAM please just send me an email.

Here is the URL for the site
