The Golden Path Review

Thu, 17 May 2012 14:35:00 +0000

In the past, when you think of a matrix or cycler program, you normally think short term and having to do a lot of referring. In fact, if you didn’t get in early and had a huge down-line, you weren’t going to make any money. That’s because most matrices/cyclers eventually slow down and finally come to a grinding halt. However, lately there has been a noticeable rise in programs whose intent is for its members to be able to earn long term passive income. (By passive, we mean no recruiting/referring is required. By long term, we mean self-sustaining.) One such program that seems to fit this new and exciting category of programs is The Golden Path.

The Golden Path launched on April 16, 2012. The program is structured as a 2 x 2 matrix, using 5 different levels. Subscriptions are only $2 each, but this $2 is deducted from your E-Wallet daily. The minimum cost to join is $20 as that is the minimum in which to fund your E-Wallet. (It is recommended to fund your E-Wallet with at least $30 initially so that your E-Wallet never runs out of funds.) Solid Trust Pay and Payza (formerly AlertPay) are the only accepted payment processors at this time.

Before I get into the compensation structure, I will list the highlights or features of the program below which come directly from the TGP website:

Its own E-Wallet System. (Save on Payment Processor Fees)
Members Purchase $2.00 Gift Packs (including Advertising, Video Emails, Software Products)
Plus be entered into Level 1 of a FIVE 2' x 'Infinity' Matrices.
Everyone joins ONE "TEAM" Matrix.
There is NO REQUIREMENT TO SPONSOR. This is a "TEAM" Matrix...YOU will EARN SPONSOR BONUSES if you bring in Members through your Affiliate Link
NO Admin Fees. (100% goes to Members)
Withdraw earnings 24/7 to your P.P.
To fund your E-Wallet, you can use these Payment Processors 'Payza' or 'Solid Trust Pay'
MOST IMPORTANTLY - "ANGEL" Positions GIVE BACK 100% of their

EARNINGS TO ALL MEMBERS. 'Angels' sustain our Program.

IT WILL NEVER STALL...

The reason the administrators of this program purport that the program will never stall is attributed to “Angel” positions. These Angel positions play an important role in preventing the matrix from getting too wide and from slowing down. I’ll go more into detail about Angel positions in another entry. Today, I just wanted to provide you with a more general overview of the program.

As for it’s compensation structure, please refer to below, which also comes from the main website:

LEVEL 1

$2.00 COMPANY FORCED 2X2 MATRIX = $8.00

$4.00 PUTS MEMBER IN $4.00 MATRIX – LEVEL 2.

$2.00 IS USED FOR 1 COMMUNITY ANGEL POSITION

$2.00 IS PAID TO THE MEMBER

LEVEL 2

$4.00 COMPANY FORCED 2X2 MATRIX = $16.00

$6.00 PUTS MEMBER IN $6.00 MATRIX – LEVEL 3.

$4.00 IS USED FOR 2 COMMUNITY ANGEL POSITIONS IN MATRIX $2.00

$5.00 IS PAID TO THE MEMBER

$1.00 IS PAID TO SPONSOR

LEVEL 3

$6.00 COMPANY FORCED 2X2 MATRIX = $24.00

$8.00 PUTS MEMBER IN $8.00 MATRIX – LEVEL 4.

$8.00 IS USED FOR 4 COMMUNITY ANGEL POSITIONS IN MATRIX $2.00

$7.00 IS PAID TO THE MEMBER

$1.00 IS PAID TO SPONSOR

LEVEL 4

$8.00 COMPANY FORCED 2X2 MATRIX = $32.00

$10.00 PUTS MEMBER IN $10.00 MATRIX – LEVEL 5.

$10.00 IS USED FOR 5 COMMUNITY ANGEL POSITIONS IN MATRIX $2.00

$10.00 IS PAID TO THE MEMBER

$2.00 IS PAID TO SPONSOR

LEVEL 5

$10.00 COMPANY FORCED 2X2 MATRIX = $40.00

$16.00 IS USED FOR 8 COMMUNITY ANGEL POSITIONS IN MATRIX $2.00

$20.00 IS PAID TO THE MEMBER

$4.00 IS PAID TO SPONSOR

When ONLY 1 (one) of your $2.00 a day Subs cycles the 5 Levels

YOU will receive a Total of $44.00 CASH

Now I know that there are some veterans out there who consider the payout to be very low. However, you must take into consideration a few things (1) the low payout is due to angel positions being created in order to keep things moving. Which would you prefer: A high payout with a short term program or a low payout with a self perpetuating program? (2) You will have multiple subscriptions paying you $44 each! You could potentially earn thousands daily!

The key to this program is ensuring that you have enough in your E-wallet to pay for the $2 daily deduction for each subscription purchased. This deduction occurs automatically. You do not need to log into your back office to manually do it. Also, you can start purchasing more subscriptions once you start cycling daily. Just make sure you can afford to buy more subscriptions. Only spend what you can afford.

I joined towards the end of April (the 28th). It took 12 days for me to cycle my first Level 1 subscription. After that, I have been cycling Level 1 subscriptions daily. Yesterday, I manually purchased another subscription using my E-Wallet funds. My strategy is to manually purchase additional subscriptions after I complete Level 1 several times. Some members purchase additional subscriptions weekly. That is entirely up to you. Again, only spend what you can afford, not bill money!

If you do get low in your E-wallet, you will have 48 hours to fund your wallet. Otherwise, your positions will turn into Angel positions and you will have lost those positions that you had previously purchased! It is also important not to cancel a subscription as you will wind up cancelling all of them, not just some! That’s why I stress spend only what you can afford. Take your time to build up more subscriptions. Check out the video on the front page of the website for more details.

So far, the program is doing well. There were some problems with moving it to a better server, but that’s not unusual. Things seem to be back on track. If the Angel positions truly perform the way they should (and I have seen them in my matrices), then this program will be around for a long time. Now I’m not overly excited but I am cautiously optimistic. I think it’s definitely a program worth trying since there are no sponsoring requirements. It may even be a program for you to benefactor your loved ones into over time. (Yes, members of the same household can join, but must have separate e-mail addresses, payment processor accounts and separate TGP accounts.) I’ll keep you updated on my progress as time goes on. In the meantime, click the banner below and learn more about The Golden Path and definitely read the FAQ’s as well as the Terms and Conditions.

Will He or Won't He?

Tue, 15 May 2012 20:40:00 +0000

So now it seems that the C150/T2MK admin has changed his mind (for the moment) regarding payments to members and closing the programs. This Jekyll and Hyde routine has made me feel much more at peace about leaving the program. I hope people can get paid before something else sets him off again. He claimed that the poll he posted the other day in the MNF showed that 90% of his members are behind him. I think if he were to take another poll, that number would be drastically reduced at this point. Enuff said about this one.

AlertPay has now switched over to being Payza. There were a lot of problems with business transactions, which is what I feared would happen. I think they are close to getting everything straightened out now. I have replaced the banner link in my sidebar and it now shows the Payza banner.

BTW, thanks for the compliments so far on the updated look of my site. I am nowhere near done yet. I have quite a few more things to add to the sidebar. Hopefully I can complete it by this weekend, but I doubt it. I have my goddaughter’s graduation from middle school to attend, so I’ll be busy with that. (Man, I remembered when she was just starting kindergarten! Where in the heck did the time go?)

Tonight at 9pm EST (6pm PST) is the prospect call for The People’s Program – my primary cash gifting activity. If you are interested in cash gifting but have tons of questions about it, then please attend the call this evening. Our hosts, Larry and Paulette enjoy answering your questions. No subject is taboo including legality and taxes. The conference call number is 1-712-432-0111, pin: 330231# Please remember to press * then 6 on your telephone keypad to mute yourself out. This minimizes background noises which can be distracting. If you get on the call early enough, you can introduce yourself and the state you are calling from. When it is time to ask questions, just press * , then 6 again to unmute yourself. I hope to see you there! Remember if you can’t make the live call then please check out the recorded call that is available 24/7 at 1-712-432-0211, pin: 330231#

In my next entry, I would like to give a review about a program that I have been in for over 2 weeks. It is a long term passive income program and I think anyone who wants to earn income without worrying about recruiting should consider making it part of their “portfolio”. Hint: It's not a HYIP either!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mon, 14 May 2012 04:55:00 +0000

I wanted to wish all of the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, godmothers, etc. a very happy Mother's Day. I hope that you get to spend time with your loved ones and that they pamper you on your special day.

Some of you may have noticed that I have made a few changes to my sidebar. Yes, I am in the middle of making over my blog. I want readers to be able to access information on one page as opposed to having multiple pages to click on. Hopefully, I can get it done soon. Until then, please bear with me until it is completed.

I received my weekly profit share in Grand Bank Club. Everything there is steady as always. I need to get acquainted with some of the changes Gord has made to the program.

The restart still hasn't occurred in Just Been Paid. No worries, I just keep re-purchasing and making occasional withdrawals. I truly do appreciate the stability that this program and it's admin/staff have displayed despite its critics. I hope things can continue to go well despite the naysayers.

As promised, I did complete the 1st cycle in Wealth 4 All exactly 10 days after I joined. So far, so good. I should cycle again within a day or two. This program was designed to be a passive long term income source. So it is definitely one to consider. Initial cost is $26 and you do not have to recruit or get referrals.

Everything is going well with Mint.bz, Royalty 7, and ENrG. I have made successful cashouts in each of them.

I also made a successful cash out in a program called World Finance Club. It is a high risk HYIP that I have been in for 1 month. I only rarely invest in these risky high ROI programs, but I have been successful in this one. It is paying at the moment. I only invested $10 via AP and was able to earn 500% after 30 days. So far I have withdrawn $40 and re-invested $10 in a shorter plan period. Again, it is high risk and only spend what you can afford. Always keep in mind too, that the high ROI % is based on the amount you invest. Most programs advertise the highest ROI percentage for each plan. The reality is that the percentage will be much less if your spend is low. For example, the 30 day plan in WFC is actually 1200% after 30 days, but that's only if you are investing a minimum amount of $10,000! Since I only invested $10, the ROI was 500%. That's still great, but only if the program is paying and that is the biggest issue with these type of prgrams. You never know when the rug is going to get pulled from under you. So don't play if you are not prepared to lose.

Onto a very ugly situation. It looks as though the admin of T2MK and C150 has decided to shut them both down. I have been reading through the MMG thread and things have taken a very ugly turn. Frankly, I'll be surprised if anyone gets paid who has requested a refund. I hope that people will get paid and I hope that some of the friendships that seem to have been broken will mend over time. As for the admin, well, I will leave that alone. Let's just say that I won't be playing in anything of his ever.

I have also added a HYIP program called Safe Risk. Earnings are 2.5% daily for 60 days. They accept STP, AP, LR, and PM. Minimum invest is $10. Referral commision is 6% on level 1.

Wonderful Wednesday

Wed, 09 May 2012 14:45:00 +0000

It’s Wonderful Wednesday. (Yeah I have to chuckle at that because the previous Wednesday was anything but that.) It’s been wet here in the Atlanta metro area. We definitely need the rain, but it hasn’t been very consistent. The weather has remained very warm. In fact, it feels like summer already. Forget Spring fever, I already have Summer fever.

Ok, I haven’t wanted to tackle the subject of T2MK, but I think it’s time that I do so. To say that I have been severely disappointed in its performance would be a serious understatement. I remember when the last “restart” occurred back in February, I had a lot of concerns. I chose to withhold any negative commenting because I wanted to see what the restart would bring. I had a lot of hopes with this one because the potential plans seemed to be very positive and it would have taken the program towards a great direction that would have made it stand out from other programs. However, when the matrices did not appear as they should have once the first set of dream positions expired; any positive hopes I had for this program were dashed.

I have decided not to continue with what has been an up and down roller coaster ride experience for me in this program. I have stated before, that programs can fail for 2 reasons: lack of member support, or the admin self-imploding. Not since the Ad 2 Million debacle have I witnessed an admin be self destructive and implode his (or her in the case of A2M) program. It’s easy to be on the sidelines as a cheerleader or a heckler when someone else is running things. However, when you place yourself in a position as a leader, you must demonstrate stability, consistency, a strong sense of purpose, etc. You don’t resort to emotionally childish behavior and take it out on seasoned veterans in the “game” or other successful programs. You must suck it up, take ownership of failures and take action to correct it, not just talk about it. So I wish the members who decide to stay well and hope it will eventually become a lucrative endeavor. However, I am done with it.

Compound 150 has been doing well for me despite the chaos in T2MK. I was able to receive another cash out. However, I don’t think the program will be immune to the problems with T2MK because the admin has suggested in a few previous updates that there were plans to merge the programs together. If that’s the case, then I would have to bow out of that one as well. Not a problem, I have 2 more than ample replacements for them.

The restart for Just Been Paid has not occurred yet. I’m still re-purchasing positions in the meantime. A few of my positions have expired, so I have another matrix position.

I haven’t talked much about Mint.bz but it is doing well. I surf my sites daily. I’ll be able to re-purchase another advanced position.

It seems as though aDaily Cash website has been restored. However, you have to wait for the right time of night to cashout. That seems crazy to me, but that’s what is going on there. I do not recommend spending in there if you haven’t already.

Royalty 7 and ENrG seem to be doing fine at the moment. I would love to add a higher ROI program but they are just way too risky.

The People’s Program just keeps rolling along. I mainly mail out postcards for this cash gifting program. I am trying to get some more quality hits to the rotator that I have for my invitees. I might have to consider using postcards as well for them. Otherwise, receiving cash at my door has been good.

I receive a lot of calls and other inquiries about Franklin’s Gift Club. It is doing well. It is an offline cash gifting program so it mainly attracts people who do not want to use the computer or do any internet marketing. I mainly do direct marketing with this one as well. Most gifting programs tend to do better with off-line marketing.

Well, that’s my update for today. Will try to put up another one soon despite the busy week.

Too Busy......

Tue, 08 May 2012 02:05:00 +0000

Sorry folks, I meant to do an update before now. I am still a little bogged down this week. My father's 77th birthday is this week, my goddaughter has an orchestra concert, I am planning Mother's Day for some friends, and I'm still putting out fires at work. I had to also help my goddughter with her school project tonight.

I heard again from the admin of T2MK. There is a vote for members to decide on the direction of the program. Haven't decided what I will do yet. I will keep you posted.

Gotta go. Will do my best to catch up soon!

Almost Over......

Fri, 04 May 2012 01:20:00 +0000

Whew!!!! Another hellacious week at work! Every test machine seems to want to break down. And somehow, yours truly has been designated to get quotes, call in repair people, submit paperwork, etc. Yes, it is indeed motivation to continue with my work at home quest. I know I have a plan in place, and the time is not yet right for me to tell them to "take their job and shove it!" But oh how I am getting closer!!!! Believe me readers you will be the 1st to know when I make that wonderful transition!!!!

JBP has not yet done the re-start. There were some delays. In the meantime I re-purchased at least 3 positions over the past few days. This is a good time to buy them as they are hinting that the next re-start won't occur for another 90 days. That's plenty of time to earn that daily %! It's good to start implementing a strategy here folks as re-starts are a necessary part of the equation with this program. Hey, it's survived this long and seems stronger than ever, so I no longer fuss about the re-starts. I'd rather re-start than do over.

Speaking of which, Dave, the admin of C150 and T2MK, is on another trip. He should be back by now, but I did not see or hear about any updates. I must admit that I rely more on my fellow bloggers for updates about T2MK than I do the forum. Sometimes reading the forums can be quite frustrating due to so much negativity from participants. I did manage to request another cashout from C-150. I'll let you know if I receive it or not. According to the site, I must wait at least 32 hours before receiving a withdrawal request. My previous withdrawal request went smoothly so I'm hoping this one will too.

I received a withdrawal from ENrG. This is a pure HYIP. I joined this program around the same time I joined Royalty 7. Things are going great in this program although they did have to deal with a ddos attack. The site was down for a little while but they came back strong. I don't know why I like this HYIP so much but I do. Again there is no crystal ball, so only play with what you can afford to lose. I am in the Solar plan which generates 2.2% daily. There are 3 other plans - Hydro (1.2% daily), Biomass (2.5% daily), and Geothermal (2.7%). Hydro and Solar accept $10 minimum deposit. Biomass and Geothermal accept $2,000 and $10,000, respectively. The processors they accept are: Liberty Reserve, Solid Trust Pay, Perfect Money, and AlertPay.

I have a few more referrals in Royalty 7. I have also increased my investment there. You can have up to 7 separate transactions. That's no big deal when you are 1st starting out, but it will become challenging as you are compounding and your daily interest earnings start to get bigger. As time goes on, you will have to be more strategic with it. What helps is the fact that the popular plan lasts only 30 days. You can then combine your earnings for a larger transaction.

I cycled my Tap 1.1 in Wealth 4 All. I am still learning how it works but am glad to have cycled the 1st "round". I earned $4.50. The remaining revenue from cycling pays for entry into the next level. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Before I close out, I just wanted to give you a heads up that AlertPay is changing it's name and very soon! That was a bit of a shocker to me. Hopefully, it won't affect transactions. I have minimal transactions in there as I have been using Solid Trust Pay and Liberty Reserve for funding lately. Click here for the link to their blog: AlertPay Blog

In closing, I just want to say R.I.P. to Junior Seau. He was a heck of a football player and seemed to have a good reputation off of the field as well. I pray for his family, especially his mother, who seemed so distraught on the news the other day. Junior, you will be missed.

Monday Roundup

Tue, 01 May 2012 01:45:00 +0000

Payments via STP resumed in Wealth 4 All. It didn't take them long to get things going. Below I have copied from the website how the program works:

Basics are this using TAP-1 series as example you pay $16 each for a TAP and it consists of 5 AU's advertising units which cycle every 10 days and you pay $10 for them plus a $6 training module that does not cycle. The costs of each TAP series varies and escalates in price. There are 12 modules in each TAP series. Ever 10 days the AU's you have cycle to pay you aprox 50% of what you paid for them and they do expire after a number of cycles (see NEWS item). Cycle earnings split into 2 buckets cycle bucket for repurchasing new TAPs and cycle payments you can withdraw after 10 days but if you choose to you can repurchase more TAPs using the full 100% cycle earnings right after daily cycles completed.

Here is what you pay and what you earn from other TAPs. TAP #

TAP1 - Costs $16 and contains 5 ad units - Pays you $4.50 per cycle.

TAP2 - Costs $32 and contains 8 ad units - Pays you $7.20 per cycle.

TAP3 - Costs $64 and contains 16 ad units - Pays you $14.40 per cycle.

TAP4 - Costs $128 and contains 32 ad units - Pays you $28.80 per cycle.

TAP5 - Costs $192 and contains 48 ad units - Pays you $43.20 per cycle.

TAP6 - Costs $16 and contains 5 ad units - Pays you $4.50 per cycle.

TAP7 - Costs $32 and contains 8 ad units - Pays you $7.20 per cycle.

TAP8 - Costs $64 and contains 16 ad units - Pays you $14.40 per cycle.

TAP9 - Costs $128 and contains 32 ad units - Pays you $28.80 per cycle.

TAP10 - Costs $192 and contains 48 ad units - Pays you $43.20 per cycle.

Each tap pays 100% for the first 6 cycles and then 50% for the next 6 cycles,it then matures and ends its cycling. You will already have other taps bought with the reinvestment plan and so there are always a growing number of taps and ad units paying you each cycle.

Thursday Updates

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 00:50:00 +0000

I received an e-mail from the admin of Wealth 4 All Team that they have temporarily suspended fund deposit processing from STP due to double posting in some E-Wallets. They will let us know when it will be available again. I am liking this program more and more because the admin team seems to be very serious about compliance. They are selective about what programs they endorse and have warned members about misrepresenting them in terms of trying to promote programs that W4AT does not endorse.

Just Been Paid admin also sent out a newsletter yesterday regarding new security measures. However, with the downtime it created a downturn of sales so they did not pay out the normally expected 2% this morning. They have restart training available on the site for members. Speaking of the restart, they stated that position bought after 4/7/12 will not be affected by the restart. Also, any accounts opened around 3/24/12 will not be affected by the restart. The restart should be occurring this week.

I want to thank whoever joined under me at Royalty 7. I am enjoying it so far. I started with the minimum of $25 in their 7% daily plan for 30 days. I have earned back that initial spend, so I boosted my investment there. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Sorry to go so soon, but I have to finish an offline task. 'Nite

Tuesday Updates

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:20:00 +0000

Dave finally issued an update in T2MK. It is rather lengthy, so I will provide the link which is for C150 members so you can read it yourself: T2MK Update

The bottom line is that there will be a re-start. For those of you who don't know what that's about, it basically means that any dp's or positions that have been compounded since the beginning of the last "reset" will be wiped out. Again, it will go back to a member's initial dp purchase. C150 is not supposed to be affected. I did receive a cashout today from admin. I had put in a withdrawal request a couple of days ago. So thanks Dave.

I'm noticing more grumblings about aDaily Cash from some of its members in the MMG forum. Some people are receiving cashouts and others are having problems. That doesn't bode well, but I'll keep a close eye on it.

On a happier note, I just recently joined the program Wealth 4 All Team under Gord. When the program initially started, I wasn't too impressed and really didn't understand how TAP worked. However, I gave it a closer look after Gord had joined it because I noticed that some other bloggers were doing well with it. I guess the main thing that attracted me was that it is an affordable, passive income program and it is NOT a HYIP. I also find the biography and faith of the admin to be interesting. I'll go into more detail in another entry about the program. I am still familiarizing myself with the back office. Upgraded membeship is $10 and to purchase your 1st TAP is $16, so total starting cost is a one-time $26. You can click on the banner link above to get more info.

Saturday Musings

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 02:50:00 +0000

First, I would like to say R.I.P. to Dick Clark. New Year's Eve won't be the same without him. I credit him as well as Don Cornelius (Soul Train) for introducing singers and musicians to us in an entertainable format that existed before the MTV and BET videos invaded our homes. It's hard for me to believe that they are both gone.

In regards to an increasingly annoying subject, I haven't heard any updates from the admin of T2MK and C150. There's a lot of speculation and uneasiness going on in the MMG forum. I think it's important for him to maintain good communication right now especially with things being so uncertain. I can only hope that his next update will provide some viable solutions. Until then, I have removed the banners for both programs from my banner links page.

I renewed my membership in Just Been Paid. The admins of this program have proven that they are committed to keeping it sustainable for as long as possible. Plus I like the daily e-mail communication and the webinars throughout the week.

My only complaint is not with JBP itself, but with another admin that has taken it upon himself to "poke fun" at the program. Ordinarily, it's no biggie to me, programs will have their supporters as well as their "haters". However, my problem with this admin is that he has been using his broadcast e-mails to members of his own program in order to suggest that it's only a matter of time before JBP gets shut down by the feds. Sure, he's entitled to his opinion, but I don't think it's a classy move to bash another program in that manner. Especially when you are at the helm of a successful 20 year old company. I just don't think it's necessary.

I requested and received a cashout from Mint.bz. everything seems to be going well there. I have not joined Dragonfly but intend to soon. I have to find a way to fit it into my overall "gameplan".

Royalty 7 is doing well and I plan to start cashing out there soon. aDaily Cash is also still plugging along nicely.

Will save remaining updates for next entry.
