Autosurfing for $$$ - Eval
By now, I think most people already know that I'm one of 'em folks who're tryin'a make money online. Trying Autosurfing at the moment... seems to have quite high potential to bring in the big $$$. The work's easy too. Sometimes TOO easy..................
Just by freakin' surfin' the net, I can get paid up to US Dollars 150 per day. Now that's crazy shaitzer...
Anywayz, after being involved with one of the programs for quite some time... I've come up with my own opinion about autosurfs in general... Please read on if U're interested.
Studio Freakin' Traffic
I'm a member of Studio Traffic. Won't deny that.
This company claims to be an on line advertising powerhouse. Advertise yer business at Studio Traffic, and all shall be well!!! You can make $$ too while yer at it.
Anywayz, the way $$$ is earned is by AUTO-surfing 100 websites per day (since I'm a paid member... unpaid members need to surf 200). Autosurfing means that you just clink one special link at the member's page. After that, a 'slide show' of websites (each for 20 seconds) will show ... one after the other....
After completing my surfing quota, I'd get 1% of my Account Level. Some of you might be askin'... "What in heaven's name is an Account Level?" ... I won't deny that some might also use "HELL" instead of "Heaven's Name"...
Well, it ain't something you can make babies with, I can tell you that (now where'd that come from)...
Anywayz, the Account Level is your membership fee (if you choose to pay... you can start out with a free account at Studio Traffic, and they give you USD10 to start with).
Let's say I put in 90 bucks of my own hard earned cash. Added to the free USD10, that makes my Account Level jump up to USD100.
Everyday I surf, I'm gonna earn 1% out of that 100. So, each month I get 30 US bucks (assuming all months has 30 days... just to make things simple). So, supposedly, after around 3.5 months, I'd get all my principal back... and after that it would be cold-hard-profit!
Yeahoo!!! as some might say....
But... that ain't the end of every thing... And it ain't lookin' nice after this point onwards.
Where they get the $$$ to give out so much $$$???
Ok. At Studio Traffic (ST from this point onwards), you can have a maximum Account Level of USD20,000. Used to be 15,000 but the admin changed that. I'll tell you what I think about this somewhere down today's entry.
ST claims that they have other online ventures that're bringing in revenue, namely:
BUT!!!
After really-really looking at these sites, I somehow doubt their income potential capabilities.
The web-hosting and other web packages service by Walker is still under construction. No ordering is possible, at least by people who are not ST members.
The online shopping mall is still in its infancy, plus the design isn't that nice :( What happened to the newer design that was more hip and cool? The products aren't that appealing also, so I don't see how they are bringing in the money.
I have no idea how the radio station brings in $$$. The banner ads perhaps?
Studio Pay is totally reliant upon ST member's $$$. So basically the money circulates within. Kinda like a country when U think about it :P
I am addressing all these not because ST has done something bad to me (yet). No, they havent blocked my account (but some people have been blocked for no reason), they havent refused my last 2 payments, they have also been nice enuff to let me in their forum :)
But, the main fear that I have is that, ST might be a ponzi! Ponzis are illegal.
Ponzis basically work like this. Let's say 10 people join in and they pay a certain amount of $$$ as joining fees. They company might claim, "We will double your money in 2 days!!!" - ST does not promise this however, they promise 1% per day as I've explained earlier.
Ok, back to how Ponzis work. Let's say after that, another 10 people join, and they pay the joining fees as well.
These later fees are used to pay the earlier people's fees. So in short, those who get in early benefit the most. At one point, ponzis WILL shut down. And they can dissappear faster than David Copperfield can say "Eat your chicken!" (Don't ask me what the relationship is...)
And along with the company's dissappearance will also be the later (unlucky) people's deposits.
Those that join at the end will lose ALL their money. Usually, their life savings. And most of you might know what happens after that... some just lose their lives!!!
I'm just afraid that ST is a ponzi, because at the current moment, from what I see, they are only getting $$$ from member upgrades (since all the other sister companies aren't actually bringing in dough yet). The Live Help Desk and the Ticketing Department (http://www.support.studiotraffic.com) also reassures me that they are indeed making $$$ from these other sites... I doubt that :(
If ST is indeed a ponzi, I myself would be at risk for being accidentally involved in a business that I thought was legitimate :( Thus, I would be committing a crime....
Hmmmmmmmmm....
.
.
.
.
.
But .... Let's not get ahead of ourselves :) At the moment, signs of "ponzi-ism" is there. But it hasn't been officially declared yet. ST still has quite a lot of supporters. A number as large as 250 thousand or more. I myself am a partial supporter... But as you've read, I have strong doubts.
It's not ALL bad though.
Based on some good NON-monetary promises, and the committment that some parties have shown, I've decided to give ST a chance. A fighting chance to prove themselves to me, as well as other people across the globe.
This chance however would not benefit me nor ST (well that's what I think at least).
I won't be profiting from them, nor would I want to make a loss.
So this is what I plan to do....
Since I am not sure whether ST is ponzi or not.... and I also have hopes that they would become the great business that they say they want to be:
1) I will withdraw ONLY what I've put in. This way, I won't lose anyting, and won't take anything that's not mine (if ST is declared a ponzi one day... hope that day never comes though). If I do this, I will be taking ONLY my money. That's the way I see it...
If I withdraw more than that, meaning I'd be in profit. And if in the future ST get's it's higher degree in PONZI-ISM, I won't feel good becuz the money I have (or have spent) would actually be somebody elses deposit that has yet to yield anything. In short, I have preyed on somebody's gullibility (indirectly of course), and made a handsome profit from it. I will not be comfortable with this (AGAIN! This is IF, ST is indeed a ponzi)
2) After withdrawing, I will just compound my earnings. Yes, earnings for each month can be compounded. This means I don't withdraw the $$$ that I earn. I just simply add it to my current Account Level, until the Max of 20, 000 is reached (if it ever get's there).
- By doing this, I would be able to do two things. One, if I don't withdraw, I won't be taking any $$$ that's not mine (again, in case ST is indeed a ponzi). Two, ... let's just say that in the near future, ST is declared clean... a non-ponzi... one hell of a revolution!!!... an Internet miracle! .. This declaration, can come in two ways. By the authorities or by plain old me :) If I see that it's a clean and well intended honest business, then I'd support it wall the way!!! :) Becuz I too am quite aware of the potential of the powers of the Internet.
At that time, my Account Level should have soared (yes, I will continue surfing). So, the amount that I can withdraw would be close to COLLOSAL!!! ... I hope :)
:)
So, basically that's my plan. Won't say that it's the best. But at least I've made up my mind.
Something I found hard to do for almost 3/4 of my life :P
Ok. That was a really2 long post. Hope somebody read it.
I MUST STATE however that these are merely my own thoughts!
Not hard evidence of facts! They are my opinions based on my observations and evaluations of ST. And also based on my knowledge and experience and research.
I do not plan to influence anybody. Just to spill out what's inside :)
If you'd like to know more about Studio Traffic, you could visit it's website at http://www.studiotraffic.com. Don't worry, this link doesn't have a referal code attached to it. So I won't get the possible 10% commision when you join and upgrade (joining alone won't give the upline anything. LOL!).
Please do comment on anything that you think is wrong in this post. For I am only human.
Okie Dokie. Teeing off. :)

The ST 'scheme' is getting to be more like a scam I'd say. And I don't agree that its comparable to life :)
Life is a journey.
Schemes are just hitch hikers :P
