I saw the above pic posted on Facebook. It struck me that wow they were the King and Queen of Pop and now they are both gone. Yeah I know, none of us will live forever, but I sure as heck thought that I would see these two around for a little while longer. It makes me appreciate Life and the people that surround me that much the more.Tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

I would like to mention the new addition to my "lineup". It is a cash gifting program called Franklin's Gift Club. The program started back in November of 2012 and it is an offline gifting activity. In fact, that's the main reason why I decided to add it. I talk to a lot of people because of my main cash gifting program - The Peoples Program.

During those conversations, I have learned that quite a few people do not want any parts of the Internet or having to do any type of online marketing, but they still would like to participate in a program that can potentially generate money for them. Believe it or not, it's not just the elderly. In fact, I know quite a few "65 and over" people that can rock the Internet.  Yet, there are folks out there who either don't have the time to spend on the Internet or they simply don't wish to learn how to surf Traffic Exchanges, Blog, mail to Safelists, submit articles, etc. They just want something that's simple and Franklin's Gift Club is definitely simple.

I won't go into all of the details about the club here, but I did create a site for it so that people can check it out. Why post an offline cash gifting activity online? Good question. Because there are thousands of people out there who are getting burned out from trying to make money online. Many of them want something simple too and don't wish to compete against the gurus with their large "lists" anymore. In fact, many "veteran" cash gifters on my team in The Peoples Program are former mlm'ers, affiliate marketers, teambuilders, etc. They are more than happy to have left the Internet world behind.

I just wanted to be able to provide something that would appeal to this group.  Plus, I realize that the Baby Boomer generation is retiring and many of them are seeking simple ways to generate extra income. They're not trying to be SEO experts.

I hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day with your loved ones. Don't get too overloaded with the chocolates and candy. LOL

Just wanted to check in briefly. I don't have anything to report for this evening but wanted to wish everyone well.

Here's a simple but beautiful love song called "You Take My Breath Away" performed by Tuck and Patti - a musical duo who have been around for years and have worldwide acclaim.

I wanted to think of Whitney Houston's life in a positive way and didn't want to dwell on any sadness I felt about yet another gifted person leaving this world. However, the radio made that task seem impossible because I kept hearing her songs while I was driving to work. I thought the Grammys gave a fitting tribute to her. Jennifer Hudson did a great job with her rendition of "I Will Always Love You". I also liked the duet between Bonnie Raitt and Alicia Keys in their tribute to the late Etta James. Her death was also sad, but less surprising due to her lengthy illness. RIP to both songstresses.

Ok, I am being a bit fickle. Sorry. I was supposed to discuss at length about an off-line gifting program that I added. I just don't feel in the mood to do that. I will say that it doesn't take away from my activities with The Peoples Program. Things are going well with TPP and I am looking forward to some new members joining this week. I am especially excited for one individual as we have been in cash gifting programs in the past together. So I'm looking forward to having her on the team. I think she'll do great. The weekly prospect call will be held tomorrow for those individuals who are interested in TPP. Please check the left sidebar for call time and number.

I received my weekly profitshare from Grand Bank Club. Things continue to do well there. I purchased another position in T2 Money Klub. I would like to purchase at least one more position before I start withdrawing a little bit. Still waiting on word from the admin as to when the move to the new site will take place. I would imagine that there would have to be some down time in order to facilitate this. I will keep you posted. As for Tripler 3, I am still earning my daily 2%. I downloaded someone's strategy for purchasing JSS matrix positions. One of my fellow bloggers was nice enough to share it with his newsletter subscribers several days ago. So I'm going to try to buckle down and read it over.

Well, time for me to turn in now. 'nite.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of yet another legendary talented singer - Whitney Houston. She had such a tremendous voice. R.I.P. Ms. Houston, the world will miss that incredible voice of yours.

I have been a little busy behind the scenes doing some other projects. I say only a little busy as I am still overcoming this dang flu. Unfortunately, now my brother and sister have it and they are right in the middle of theirs. I feel a lot better and have regained my strength and energy, but I still have a slight cough and I have not regained my sense of taste and smell just yet.  I just hope we will all be completely over this by the time of my brother's birthday later this month. His birthday is on February 26th. We usually go out to either a steak or seafood restaurant to celebrate.

T2 Money Klub is still doing well. I am earning my 2% daily and already re-purchased a postion. I was going to withdraw but I forgot that he minimum for withdrawal is $20. I think I'll purchase a couple of more positions before starting to withdraw. Hopefully, that will pay off for me literally.

I saw in an e-mail from the admin of Just Been Paid that there will be some additional income streams coming soon. As I mentioned before, it seems like a trend for established programs is to add more income streams to the mix for their members. I think it will definitely help to curtail the program-hopping that continues to plague the Internet Marketing industry. We shall see. In the meantime, I'm still waiting for one of my matrices to cycle. I was hoping it would have done so by now. Maybe the re-start is still affecting the pace.

Before I got sick, I had intended to join some other HYIP programs. Perhaps being sick was a blessing in disguise as quite a few of the programs I had my eye on are now gone. Oh well, it's just a reminder of how short term some programs can be in the HYIP industry. I'm sure there are quite a few potential admins out there who would love to break away from the current trend of 2% daily earnings, but that seems to be the place where people are most comfortable with putting their money at this time. Who can blame them? Traditionally, 12 x12 programs have crashed and burned after 1 to 2 payouts. I think ultimately, people want to put their money where they think it can last and grow for at least longer than the life span of high yielding surf.

In my next entry, I will focus on cashgifting and a new program I have added. I have my reasons for doing it and I think it will become a huge trend.

Until then, here is one of Ms. Houston's legendary songs. It is a re-make of a song by another legendary singer - Ms Dolly Parton.

Congrats to the New York Giants for winning the Super Bowl. They had me worried for a minute. I wish I could have been in lower Manhattan for the ticker tape parade. Ah well, maybe next year.

I received my weekly profitshare in Grand Bank Club this week. Things are extra busy there for Gord which is great. That means there are more members participating.

I renewed my level 1 membership in Just Been Paid. A few of my matrices are starting to fill up. I think with 2 of therm I only need 1 more position filled. I did purchase a couple of placement spots and premiums for them. I look forward to them cycling soon. I think I'll withdraw with one and recycle the other. I want to do a better job in the cashing out part of it.

So far T2 Money Klub seems to be doing well. I am earning my 2% and will probably withdraw in a couple of days. I am also earning commissions from my referrals. Again, I want to take advantage of withdrawing more as I tend to try to compound as much as possible. I'm learning that that is not always the best strategy for these programs. Anyway, T2 still has to migrate to the new site so hopefully that will get done soon. Once everythig gets settled, I'll start using my referral link again.

I heard that Lucid Nature has bit the dust. I didn't get a chance to play in that one. I did hear that the admin is trying to payout members so that's a good thing.

Well, today is the day for the big game in Indy. None of the teams I was originally rooting for made it. So I decided to go with my former home team - The New York Giants. Sorry Brady and crew, there's just something about your team I never liked. It should be a good game. Goooo Giants!

I forgot to mention in my previous entry about the resurrection of a new "Rotator". Jonathan Hopkins used to run a very successful rotator for F5M-MC until he experienced very serious and life-threatening health problems a couple of years ago. He's finally healthy again which is a great thing and I admire his courage and strength to get through it all. So he has created a new Triple Rotator which is designed to help people get their 6 referrals at the bronze level, 3 referrals each at the silver and gold levels for F5M-MC. The rotator is still in its infancy (started Jan 20, 2012), so now is the time to get in if you are still interested in F5M-MC.

I have mixed emotions about getting into another teambuild because it takes up a lot of time and can get bogged down when there's more people joining it. However, if you are looking for a good program to join like F5M-MC and want to take advantage of building your referrals, then check out Triple Rotator for yourself.

Enjoy the rest of your Super Bowl Sunday!

There are many reputable comanies that are starting to incorporate other companies into their marketing techniques and using them as additional sources of incomes for their members. For example, 5 Dollar Money Bomb had incorporated the long running WTIA by Rick Mathews as another income stream. They have also just recently added F5M-MC as well as XAG Network.

Rick Mathews has added 5 Dollar Money Bomb, Cash Club International, and XAG Network to his arsenal of multiple income streams. He already has F5M, Glad Club, and F5M-MC as the original income streams.

John Kielic of F5M-MC has added Just Been Paid as an additional income stream for new members who sign up for the bronze, silver, or gold level memberships.  He is in the process of adding existing members' JBP links to their advertising pages for F5M-MC.  He provides a very comprehensive training seminar on Saturdays at 10am EST to review how he has been successful with F5M-MC and explains the new changes taking place with the addition of JBP.

While all of this may seem confusing to some, I think it is a clever step in the right direction. I say this because it could lead to slowing down the program hopping that occurs especially with newbies to the Internet. It also aligns the more stable, successful companies together to work towards growing their memberships. For example, I'm sure that John Kielic adding JBP to his F5M-MC membership base will catapult JBP even further.

We'll see how things look ahead.

T2 Money Klub is back in business. The Reset has been completed. I have to re-read all of the jargon that he was explaining in the latest update. Still haven't regained my focus just yet. This cold and cough are still lingering a bit.

I know I had promised eons ago to talk about some mobile marketing opportunities. However, the few opportunities that I was looking at had too many upsells. Upsell - marketing tactic where a consumer is offered a low introductory price in ordered to lure them to purchase the product or service. As soon as the purchase is made another offer is presented for an upgrade on the product or service at a higher price. Typically most upsells consist of 2 or 3 offers. So I haven't found an affordable program to facilitate implementing mobile marketing just yet. Yes I am aware of Cash Text Network but you don't make money with a free program, there is a cost somewhere down the line.

There will be a slight delay (roughly 12 hours) in the launching of T2 Money Klub. The full post can be found at this link:

I have added 5 Dollar Money Bomb weekly conference call info to the sidebar. Joe Z. gives a pretty good presentation as well as providing updates. There are some enhanced features in the back office. There is now a "refer a friend" feature that will greatly enhance getting signups. Member training for this program is held weekly on Saturdays. Below is a presentation that the founder gives about 5DMB.

Ok, so I thought I was "over the hump" as far as this dang flu thing goes. Not so! Apparently this strain that I have lasts for about 2 to 3 weeks! I'm in week 2! I feel worn down and my nose is still congested despite the medicines I am taking for it. My sense of taste and smell are still gone which I hate the most! Yeah, I know, "stop bellyaching about it!" I just don't like to be sick especially for an extended period of time.

I received a cash gift a couple of days ago which cheered me up some. Yes, I am still involved with The Peoples Program. I don't get some people. Their mentality when it comes to being a part of a program and promoting it seems to be way off and part of the problem with the "98%". Someone asked me the other day why do I still promote TPP since it's been around for 3 years already. Their assumption is that it is saturated and therefore cannot be a lucrative endeavor anymore. It seems as though people have bought into the program hopping mentality.

Don't get me wrong, I know that there are short term programs and I've played in a few HYIPS and cyclers that are more conducive to being short rather than long term. However, other programs that have been around for a long time should be commended for the stability that they provide. I think it's just sheer laziness when people say that a program is saturated and can't possibly make any more money. Why then are other members still in it and earning quite well? They usually don't have an answer for that other than that they consider successful people to be "lucky".

There is no luck involved. It's actually called hard work and dedication. It takes time to build a following on a blog or to build a "list". It takes commitment to diligently purchase and mail out postcards or to post in classified ads. None of these things require you to be a rocket scientist, but they do require effort. Most people don't want to put in any effort.

Not a rant, but just food for thought.
