Twittad - another Twitter monetizing service

In extreme situations like this is (speaking about global economic crisis) the one should start looking for an alternative ways how to get money. It is much appreciated if it is not directly connected with direct investing, but rather being paid for doing other things.
There is no doubt that microblogging was buzz this year. Is there any heavy Internet user, who didn't hear about Twitter? I guess not. And there are more possibilities how to get paid from microblogging activities. As f we talk about Twitter, I did published one opportunity in Get paid for Twitting post - but so far I made small income from that service.

From money earning perspective I see even better opportunity in Twittad. At Twittad they've added different concept comparing to what we saw so far. You do sell your background. Twittad is a place, when demand and supply meet. Twitters on one side and advertisers on other. And you, as a Twitters you can set your condition, for how much money and time you offer your background to advertiser. Interesting concept. Not only for publishers, but also for advertisers as you can put your background ad for less than $1 per month.

Get paid for Twitting

After bad experience with classical blog advertising with Ad sense when I Find out why Ad Sense is scam, I am now testing other ways to get paid for posting. Magpie is an ad network for Twitter. Their customers sign up and create campaigns which consist of magpie-tweets (i.e. ads). Twitterers allow Magpie to post magpie-tweets among their tweets and get paid for it.

As long Twitter crew allow such rather unplanned advertising - obviously they were not able to put their world wide short message system on market - everything is fine, and you will be able to get some money out of your twitting. More on Magpie you can find on my feed.

Another service which gives you an opportunity to earn money with Twitter is Twittad. With slightly different concept from Magpie it offer Twitters and advertisers an option to negotiate the price for advertising. And this time you are not paid for messages posted through Twitter as it is the case on Magpie, but for the background of your profile. Nice, and best of all - you can combine both services Magpie and Twittad.

As soon as I get some real money from those two new and very promising services, I'll let you know.

Get paid for reading emails

Let me get this straight: you can't really get rich with such a program, by definition. It has been some months since I joined Emailcashpro. This is just one of many program with similar approach. They send you emails where you have to click on link. It seems that Program is fair and honest, but the big question is, how to get reach minimum withdrawal.

EmailCashPro is another paid to read email program that first started in the small country of Singapore (that's why currency used for balance is Singaporean Dollars). It is now 9 months since this program has expanded to a International program that pays its members by check or more and more popular PayPal.

Nevertheless it is fair and promising service, it will take years to reach some money (talking about US$10). As long you just click on link you get with email. Don't be afraid to get tones of emails, there is no way that paid emails will harm your mailbox. I got 9 emails from Emailcashpro with sponsored link to click in May and just 4 in June. But there is a catch, how to reach those $10. With referrals of course (you've have that in mind, I bet on it).

So the best way to maximise the potential of your EmailCashPro membership is to become a Gold Member what happens when you invite 20 of your friends, colleagues or relatives to join your team at EmailCashPro. When you reach 20 direct referrals, you will be upgraded to a Gold Member. As a Gold Member, you will get the additional benefits: S$5 credited into your account and Unleash the potential of your 5th level of referrals. I think it is worth to try it.

Exclusive interview with Max Willis - RTA administrator

In some days RTA online investment will have its first birthday. Yes, one year online and every single day RTA was making profit for its users. On time withdrawals, quick support in case of problems... One couldn't believe, that there is one person behind. Maybe one of the most beloved admins in HYIP community. One year online proves that he is going for long haul. I feel honored that he gave me this exclusive interview.

1. What is your worst experience as regards RTA in last year? Was it negative experience with e-Gold or something else?

First of all, I'd like to say hello to you and your readers as well. As for my worst experience, I could say that e-gold is one of the worst. After the indictment that everybody knows of, I heard that lots of accounts are being blocked. After a while, mine was blocked as well. I did all I was asked to, but they decided not to unblock my account. It was a big setback, but I've managed to settle it by switching to Liberty Reserve and everything went back to normal, little by little. I just didn't want to quit, and most of my users that supported me, helped me stand by that decision.

2. The RTA is unique in many ways. In positive sense. What would you point out as most important and significant difference to other similar programs as yours?

First and foremost, RTA is based on creating revenue, not just collecting deposits. What I mean by creating revenue is advertising in the first place. Later on, I decided to introduce variety of revenue sources, so there is the monitoring revenue, as well as investing in offline mutual funds. This revenue is divided among users according to the number of points they collected.

3. Lately you haven't been as active as we were used to on your website. No contests, no special actions... even forum on your site seems you are using just to answer questions. Can you comment this?

I admit you are right, but there is a simple answer to that: I am bit occupied with running RTA as it is, since I do it in my spare time, plus there has been some problems that I had to take care of (e-gold for example) and took me lot of time. But don't worry, this year I will definitely have more spare time to make RTA running much better and some of my ideas include some kind of lottery for points (now that you mention contest), some kind of quiz, and even the community pages where every user could have their personal page. I just gave you the exclusive! :)

What I will definitely do this year is redesign of the site and make the whole program closer to the classic type of investment programs, where user will be able to sell their points or to withdraw their initial deposit. I'm sure that many users will be please to know that!

Although it might sound as new idea to some people, let me remind you that was something I announced from the launch of the RTA. This will definitely happen this year, my estimate is around summer.

4. You never really tried to hide who you are and where you live. Many or maybe all other administrators in online "Making money business" are rather under cover. Did you ever feel sorry to do that?

No. I was sure that all I do is right, and everybody will be in profit; so there is no reason that anyone would be mad at me.

5. Apparently you have many skills, are you running RTA alone, or there is a group behind?

At the moment, there is no group in common sense of that word. But I built many friendships among the users and there has been very helpful! I can say that one of them are you, Thorest, and I was glad to give you the interview.

6. And the final question, how would you comment from financial point RTA so far? Is it beyond or above expectations?

I've been honest so far, and I'll try to keep it that way: I am a bit disappointed with the growth of marketing revenue, I must admit that. We all see the growth of points, but the growth of the marketing revenue is not so high; it's more like the constant. The growth of the number of users and visits to the web site haven't really resulted with the growth of the advertising; it's the paradox that I don't have an answer to, maybe my users are a bit lazy? :)

Nevertheless, that is why I introduced other means of revenue, as I answered your second question. And more the time passes, you will notice that RTA will depend more on profits other than advertising, but it will keep on going this way or the other. (Of course, I will never use any kind of criminal activity to bring the profits into RTA, you can count on that)

7. Oh, and the last thing.. is there anything you would like to say to readers of my blog?

I admit I was your reader since you've posted your first post and I find your blog very interesting. I would like to give my best regards to all your readers and invite them to visit RTA site to learn more - and don't stop reading Thorest's blog!

Galleon FX - managed forex, is this the key to real profit?

After disasterous results in HYIP, failer in gold trading and finally, due to lack of time and resources I was not able to run manual forex, I am now trying to make profit in forex managed account at Galleon FX.

This is now real thing. No more unsecure feeling about scam. Let me shortly look at this my new investment.

The site has very good instructions for filling up all forms and papers, since you need to get first signup a form for Galleon, then with their broker, FXCM. Both seems very stable in time and under control. Of course there is a risk of something bad happens and either company "die", but this is not so likely. Since Galleon is getting managed fee based on their performance from you, it is obvious their intention is to perform as positive as possible. All fine from this points. What else do we know?

When you sign up, you have to choose the currency USD or EUR for your account. In fact USD accounts have better statistics than EUR, for examle their USD Account was up about 75% in Septemberm, further more 18% in October for a total of 93% gross in just 2 months.

Their $1000 minimum special has been very popular with 50+ new clients in October. Those that got in and had accounts funded before the 15th are already looking at 15-20% gains in their account. As they have extended $1000 minimum investment for this month too, you just have some days to start a real investing, rather then scamy HYIP.

The FXCM offers very good web based look into account, so you see all open traders, history, current equity, for selected time period. Funding the FXCM account is easy, as you can use Credit cards.

Galleon FC performance over time

Galleon offers you great oppurtunity to take profit in violatile Money Exchange markets. Since managed accounts usually starts with over $25.000, you finally have a chance to enter with much smaller amount. And last thing: robot trading is usually not bringing such high profits as Galleon had it in September, but since it eliminates emotional weakness of a trader, it can become your profit maker.

Agloco hype

For quite some months Agloco team was promising release of its viewbar. Today it was finally released, after some of members were very sceptical it will ever comes out. The philosophy behind this project is simple: the need to get as many members as possible, show them banners and get the profit, share it between members.

It is free, no investment needed. You are actually selling your space on screen (same area as status Windows bar at bottom of the screen). Register, download, install, view. And get as many referrals as possible. The reason why you'll need referrals is in limited monthly time you will get paid: 5 hours of active showing on your desktop, or screen, if you want.

My plan with Agloco:

• It is nice, because it is free, I joind 4 months ago, but I didn't want to start getting referrals untill release the viewbar.
• I remember some 4 years ago, when first viewbars with same idea came online, Paid2surf category, all projects finished and I got no profit there. So I am rather sceptical with this one as well, but it can get you some small profit.
• It is worth to test it.

Caution:
Since the Agloco website is under heavy traffic at this time (many members downloading viewbar), make no mistake and don't pick viewbar from other sites than original!!! You can get malicious program.

If you register HERE, you'll be in my referral (same as in other links to HYIP on this site) and I am very thankful for your trust and respect. I'll keep you guys informed on what is going on.

Forex danger - trading with gold

Say no to gold.
For more then half year in the forex business I lost nearly $1000 of investment. What I learned from this lessons is, whatever you do, don't trade with gold. It is to risky and it can go up and down uncontrolled. Only trade currencies. But most of all, be sure to try demo with virtually money first!!!

Online broker is the key!
If you go for real money, don't spend in on bad forex online broker, which offers small minimal deposit, like $5 or something. Why? Most like it doesn't use meta trader client. And it have spread which will kill your profit.

Example of bad broker: Marketiva.
Examples of good brokers: NorthFinance - min. deposit $100 and Neuimex min deposit $250.

Egeneration HYIP

If you are experienced in this buisiness than you know: you should get into invest program fast and when it becomes hot, exit it. Egeneration served me good. From November 2006 up to today I've made clear profit of nearly 2000$ including intial deposits. This site gives you 45% of interest each month. First interest is in 5 days and it is 5% of your deposit. With some smart caluclating, you can reinvest from balance.

Nevertheless, my feeling is, that this site will go soon down. How soon, who knows. But it may be online for month or two.
