Once Upon A Time...

Once upon a time (well, only about 5 years ago really) I was a green being that wanted to make some money on the internet. At the time I was playing around on MyLot and read about this great opportunity, that would make me rich in absolutely no time at all, if only I would join. It was all going to be so easy, set up a ClickBank Account, join a couple of traffic exchanges and hey presto, within days I would be rich. So I learnt about hoplinks, and I learnt to surf and joined several surf sites and nothing happened.

But, luckily, whilst I was surfing I saw this very nice young man, who had apparently been living on rice and beans for years and years, though he did look good on it. Now though, he had made an absolute fortune and he was willing to teach me for FREE how to do the same. So I joined. And I joined. And I joined. I joined everything he told me to join and spent an absolute fortune improving his financial situation. I had an auto-responder, leads, my own website and various other things I had no idea how to use, and instead of earning money, I was spending it. I did get three sign ups for this program, and made $3.00 on the website site, without ever being able to get it out. I joined several other must have companies, all of which led to further and further expense as you had to absolutely join this Marketer Networking site that only cost $25.00 per month etc etc. I will not calculate how much I spent on all this, not because I can´t, but because I think it would reduce me to tears to think how much money I wasted on all these wonderful opportunities that never produced anything. Nada, zilch, zip.

Then I got a bit wiser, and managed to team up with someone from Australia, and actually made $5,000 for the first time in my life. But it took a while (mainly because I had lost interest and forgotten I had ever joined in the first place) and it is not a cheap opportunity to join, so getting sign ups is difficult.

However, I have learnt from my experiences though and found that I look at advertising in a new way. Put away your credit card your first month is free, means that the owner of that program has decided to use as their main business that you have to subscribe to, a program that was free for one month in the first place, but you will pay for it after one month when you are firmly hooked. Free report give-away mean you are a lead that has now been captured (I intensely dislike that expression, it sounds so degrading) and you will now be spammed senseless for the rest of your life. Serious man saying Flashy over-hyped sites do not work, but ours does we really want to help you, means zilch, zip, nada.

So, this disillusioned marketer has broken all the rules and joined a Flashy Over-hyped Site that pays 100% commissions directly into your payment processor of choice and guess what? She got her first payment within 2 days of joining, that means the original money is now back in account as though it had never left. It should not work, this flashy over-hyped impossible opportunity, It Should Not Work, but you know, I just think it will. So you may keep eating rice and beans, and having a Real Business fattening someone else`s downline and receiving their spam, and good luck to you. This girl will take her chance on the Flash and the Hype and the real money into PayPal account.

Feeding the Fish = Fattening your Finances

Having had some time out from all internet related activities, it it now time to start things moving again. We had the great good fortune of being paid rather well for some work we had done a couple of years ago, and this has kick started my search for further fortune on the internet again.

Today I want to talk about the programme called MyMoneyFish. I joined the programme about two weeks ago, and so far it looks really promising. It is a 10x4 forced matrix programme with a difference. Instead of getting paid when your matrix is full (which in a 10x4 would take some doing) you get paid every month. Basically this means getting paid $2.00 for each member that is in your downline, on whichever level they are, and whether you personally sponsored them or not. If at the time of first payout you decide to take the money and run, you can do that, though if you are in profit I see no reason why you would, considering that you are likely to be in even more profit the next month.

My brother, ever the sceptic, had to do the sums. He has worked out that the person who runs the programme will basically get $1.95 for each and every person in the programme, each and every month - so there is no reason for him not to pay out during the first pay run, because he will get an automatic fortune every month that the programme runs. It is his best interest to keep it running and it is in our best interest to stay in the programme.

I know matrices can be tricky, particularly if they are free to join or require a one-time joining fee, where would be money come from to pay out at the end? But this is different and I think it is definitely worth the $10.00 entry fee to give it the best you can.

There are people who do not ever wish to spend any money in any programme because they say that you should not have to pay to work, and that when you take a job in an off-line company you do not pay your boss to start work. This of course is erroneous thinking, and divides those who want a job (where you work for someone else who takes all the profits and gives you a fixed wage) from those who want to run their own business, which always takes some start up capital, whether it is on-line or off-line.

Will update this blog from time to time regarding the MyMoneyFish programme, to let you know how much profit we are making each month.
