Topjobs101.com Scam?

2009-01-09T11:31:00.006-05:00

Is Topjobs101.com a scam? Well, readerspaid was a scam. Readerspaid became Hurraz and Hurraz was a scam. Hurraz became Topjobs101 after hurraz tried to do a come back but failed. They owe their members a lot of money and they make these false promises that they will pay them if they jump over these loops, but never pay.

So now after they tried to do a come back in December 2008 and ripped off some more members here is what they want you to believe.

"On January 3rd. our website name was taken from us under ilegal circumstances and with the sole purpose of expecting us to buy our name back from them for a ridiculous amount of money. We dont negotiate with these kind of people. So we proceeded to immediately set-up a new name and web link for our program. The new name is: TOP JOBS 101. All tracking and reports remain the same. The whole program remains the same.
From now on to access your INBOX you will go to: topjobs101.com instead of going to the old web link: hurraz.com".

They did not pay their members as Hurraz or Readerspaid.
Why not paid their member all they money they owe them before sending a stupid email like that.

Anything that has to do with Heide Holtz or Christan Holtz beware. Other domain names that belong to Heide Holtz: SmarterSites.net, Ad-Synergy.com.

Just don't fall for a scam. Now is Topjobs101 a scam?

Affiliate Marketing or True Wholesale Dropshipping ?

2009-01-06T20:56:00.006-05:00

Affiliate Marketing or True Wholesale Dropshipping, is the question. What program is better from the two choices, for making money online. I am going to tell you it all depends on what you are promoting or what dropshipper is being used.

Lets say I am an affiliate promoting some items for Netflix DVD rentals. I would most likely put a banner on my site than spending a lot of money on pay per click. Some affiliate programs only pay a small percent of a purchase you promote. It could be from 1-16% or a little higher. Unless you are promoting digital products. It can than range from 15-75%. Less that than 20% I would not touch.

Affiliate marketing is OK if you choose the right program. I personally do not like digital product programs so, I do free advertising and word of mouth.

When it come to starting your own store and selling products online, choose the right wholesale dropshipper. There are hundreds if not thousands of middleman acting as true wholesale dropshippers. However, selling products on ebay or from your online store has a better potential of you making more money for yourself than affiliate programs.

You will have more control with pricing with your own store. But if you team up with a fake wholesale dropshipper it will be very hard to make a sale. Because your prices will be to high so that you can make a profit. Drop shipping, giving away free satellites and selling junk on ebay is working for me. Just stay away from scams.

Make Money Online Without Getting Scammed

2008-11-06T20:03:00.006-05:00

People need to stop looking for a way to get rich over night. If your are that in need of money, then you will be scammed. Every day I hear of friends that are scammed because they are looking for the fast cash.

Look, if you see that someone is claiming that he/she made thousands of dollars doing nothing from home; it is a scam. They will tell you that they a have this system that you can make thousands a month, and they will give it to you for just $29.99, $39.99 or $49.99. But the clock is ticking and you have to make up your mine now...please don't be stupid.

If they were making so much money why in the hell are they trying to sell you their system? Why are they looking for a army of affiliates to sell their system? Because the only why they can make some money is by selling you their junk.

If you are lazy or desperate you will be scammed. The real way to make money online is to work hard, smart and not screw anyone. You need to sell. It is not easy to get visits to your site to make those sales. You must advertise!

Take a look webbizbest for more info on making money. There are a hand full of programs out there for beginners that one can make money. However it is not easy. Take a look at SFI.

Hurraz.com Scam

2008-07-14T10:43:00.004-04:00

From readerspaid to hurraz.com, everything remains the same. Old habits are hard to get rid off. I want everyone to know that the old readerspaid that became hurraz.com is still up to its old habits of not paying. If it were only that but they don't even answer their loyal members emails. Those member that decided to stay with them even after the readerspaid scam.

Hurraz likes to accuse their members of committing fraud so that hurraz can keep more of the members earn monies. Members don't get paid for months and when they do; its usually less than what they earn. Most of the time members quit and they keep their monies. This is one of their last post on the members payment updates.

"
January: ALL SENT
February: ALL SENT
March: ALL SENT
April: ALL SENT ***
May: will be sent on July 10th
June: will be sent on July 29th
July: will be sent on August 24th
*** A number of accounts have been under review and payments have been therefore delayed, we may be contacting some of you for further clarification. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. Hurraz Management "

Members are waiting for payments due to them from April. So, I were you I would stay away from any thing that has to do with Christan and Heide Holtz. As always here to make sure you don't get scammed.

Contactthem.com Spam or Scam?

2008-06-02T16:08:00.004-04:00

If you own a website I'm guessing you have found propositions in your email box from a company called "ContactThem.com". Your proposition probably reads just like the 30 or more I get a day:

Have you received an email that goes like this:Hi, We've seen your website at http://webbizbest.com/and we love it!We see that your traffic rank is 257966 and your link popularity is 3. Also, you have been online since 07/07/2006. With that kind of traffic, we will pay you up to $4,800/month to advertise our links on your website. If you're interested, read our terms from this page: AFFILIATE LINK HERE Sincerely,so and so

I am pretty sure thousands have, if you have not. Someone wrote in their blog:

“THE TOTAL TRUTH ABOUT THIS COMPANY:This is nothing more than a cutting edge scam. It was created by Stephan Ducharme AKA The Biggest Scammer on the Web. Stephan is also the scam artist who created of the FreeAdGuru, My Affiliate Finder and the rip off ebook "how to get 1 million visitors to your site" which is totally useless. Stephan is a complete thief. There's hundreds of pages all over the net filled with endless complaints of refund refusals. DO NOT BUY THESE PRODUCTS. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THESE PRODUCTS”.

Well I decided to give contactthem a try. I wanted to know if it was a scam or spam. I followed the link on the email and joined for free as stated. I placed the text links on my sites and waited to see what was next. I went to their forum to pick up a feel for what was going with this contactthem software.

In the forum it seems to be the same people over and over again that seem to be having all the success. I few people did asked question but, I was not satisfy with the answers. I asked questions and in all fairness they did respond but not to my satisfaction. I think that Stephan Ducharme is trying to deliver the goods to repair his rep on the Internet but, is falling short.

The problem is that you are given these incredible figures about how much money you will be making and there is where they run into trouble. By their scenario you would be able to make that kind of money if all those one million affiliates in your down line would make sales. But we all know that’s not going to happen.

They charge $50 a month for the software that contacts web site owners. Some one in the forum I was asking when were they suppose to start making money. The reply was keeping trying for a least six months. I am not going to pay $50 bucks a month to tell web site owners to put the contactthem.com link on their web site and that they will make $4800 a month. I am not making a penny so I will not represent that to some one else. Good head lines contactthem but it is just not going to happen.

Back to the question is it spam or scam. I would have to say a bit of both. Don’t offer what you can not deliver and don’t send unwanted email. And if you do you better deliver. The best way to make these types of programs that you need a down line work is by giving your members another way that they can make money. That way the member is in more of control of what they make. Something like SFI has that affiliate have more control of the money they make because, they have other options.

I am not going to explain everything about contactthem.com because you can get the idea from what I have just express to you. Learn how to make a real living online so you can spot what programs will help you succeed. Contactthem links are off my site.

SFI, Do They Offer A Real Home Based Business?

2008-04-29T14:33:00.006-04:00

What I am about to tell you will give you hope in finding a real online business. SFI, do they offer a real home based business opportunity? I have to yes and no. Here why, you join for free and your and your affiliate power line is recruited for you. So in no time you will have thousands under you. That's great but most of the affiliates never upgrade and never do anything. Because most of these people want money to fall out of the sky. So, you are not going to make thousands right away depending on your power line.

However, you can remedy the problem. You can recruit your own affiliates a build your own line of people that want to succeed. You make a lot more from this line than the power line of dead beats. And guess what you can make your own sales of different products they have. They have more ways for one to make money than other programs I have seen.

Is SFI real? Yes, on you can make money and very good money but it is up to you. Unless you wake up that gigantic power line that's is built for you. And no, on your going to make tons of money from the start.

One thing I have learned on the Internet is that to have a real home based business you, have to make real. Learn more of real online opportunities..

Get Free Googleads

2008-04-07T11:30:00.006-04:00

Here is the way to get free google ads. They are not really free you just have to contact people that have a relevant business to yours. Let them know that you are gooing to be in the first pages of google ads. If they are interest ask them how and much are they will to pay or just tell them how much it will cost them to place a banner or ad on your web site.

The reason that google ads are not really free is because, in order for you to get posted in those frist pages you have to bid pretty high. However, if you have these ads on your web site that are paying you to take a ride than they just might come out to be free. Enjoy!

There are other things you can learn from free google ads that can help you with your internet marketing.

ad-synergy.com Does Not Pay

2008-03-19T10:09:00.003-04:00

ad-synergy.com is suppose to pay for ads that are place on your web site. They advertise that you can get pay for lead or click. I have use their program for about six months. I selected to try their pay per lead. When I notice that the leads I was sending to them were not being paid or recorded I decided to send them an email.

I have sent them numerous emails depicting the problem but, they have not answer any of them. I then decided to give the a little more time to see if they respond. While I was waiting I ask friends to got to my sites were I had placed their ads and to see if there was something they they were interested. Some where between four to six friend signed up for what ever ads they were interested.

None of the leads they I refer to ad-synergy where credited to my account. I again sent ad-synergy many emails and they did not respond. I have place ad-synergy.com on my list of do not like to pay members.

P.S.

hurraz.com does not give members the right amount of pay for ads that state they are paying .28 or more cents for their information. All they pay is .01 cents and keep the rest. They do not answer emails - Scam!

ReadersPaid Has paid about 70%

2008-01-03T15:18:00.000-05:00

ReadersPaid has stated that they have paid about 70% of their members in mid December 2007. Those that were paid had deductions of their earnings. They said that their advertisers did not paid them because some readersPaid members had commited fraud.

I think they are trying to get a clean start and that is way they have a new name-Hurraz. But, I also think they went about it the wrong way. They lost many members and many are not putting the effort they once were. It is up to their members if they want to give them a second chance.

ONE MORE THAT DOES NOT LIKE TO PAY

2007-12-03T18:59:00.000-05:00

Mr. James Esposito from chromolumeinc.com like to have stay at home moms work for him, but does not like to pay. Chromolume Transcription is the name of his website and I advice moms to stay away. He might pay you the first time but don't hold your breath to get paid the second time.

Scam:Readerspaid, loyaltepay, Ad-synergy

2007-11-14T12:50:00.000-05:00

A little update on ReadersPaid. It is now November 14 and they still owm their members more than four months paid. They had asked their members to upgrade to a platinum membership for $29.99 and that they would get paid .10 cents per click instead of the .01 cent they get paid now. Well that has not happen yet after three full months. Shame on you ReadersPaid.

Other companies owned by the Holtz family are ad-synergy.com and Loyaltepays.com. I have taken ReadersPaid off my website. I will continue to let you all know who is a scam.

ReadersPaid HAS NOT PAID YET

2007-11-01T15:30:00.000-04:00

This will be short. ReadersPaid has not paid their members yet. I will be taking them off my site. What was once a good thing has lost the flavor. What I set out to do was to expose those that are not being legit. In my next post I will tell you their new name so you do not get scammed.

ReadersPaid A Scam?

2007-09-27T23:09:00.000-04:00

I have chosen to spend my Internet time weeding out scams. I have advised my readers who is legit when it comes to Internet Home Based Businesses and what surveys really pay. ReadersPaid was one that could always be counted on until the past few months.

In April 2007, ReadersPaid did not pay their faithful members their earned commissions. After many e-mail inquiries from members that went unanswered, they finally paid out on July 5th. Many were furious. However, it didn't stop there. May, June, and July came and went -- again with everyone waiting to be paid and still no payments by ReadersPaid.

Everyone has been strung along as the months go by. The owner, Christian Holtz, makes many empty promises to fulfill the payments. He is encouraging members to hang on as they bring in new ads, to join a Platinum level for $29.95 and they could reap the benefits of 10 cents per click. That was supposed to start in August and to date it is a dead issue even though some members did pay their $29.95.

More promises of giving the members a free Web site for all the trouble that has been caused has not happened. The RP members are the ones who built the business and many members feel that Mr. C. Holtz is just a coward and a thief.

Here it is September 25th and still no payments received by their members, and guess what - now September is due. So, is ReadersPaid a scam? For surveys that pay click here.

work from home jobs: Surveys That Really Pay

Surveys That Really Pay

2007-08-29T14:06:00.000-04:00

Speaking from experience there are many surveys that pay money. The question should be how and when do they pay? They are many surveys that you earn points, gifts, money or a combination of all three. Most of my friend and people that I have dealt with want money.

I will advise you that they all have their little hurdles you have to jump to get paid. We will start with how you make money with surveys. Some of the ways you can make money are by referrals, incentives, filling in questioners and by reading some advertisements.

Some send you emails you can read and get paid. While with others you can just read the advertisements on their site. Every time you click on one of these advertisements you get paid. You will not get paid a lot of money. They pay pennies however, its not costing you anything so click. You will also get paid from your down line a percentage of what they are generating.

Incentives or offers will make you the most money at the beginning. For example there is a trial offers that is letting you try there product for 14 day, your credit card will not be charged until the 14 days are up and you get paid $30 just for trying the offer. That is were you will make most of your money at the beginning. We are only speaking of money so, I won’t tell you about bonuses.

You will get paid from $1 to $5 for referrals depending on your survey's membership. Referrals will make you more money in the long run because you can build a down line and you get a percentage from them. The deeper and the more your down line works the better for you.

Click here for a link that will take you to surveys that really pay money. You can make enough to pay a car, utility or mortgage payment. They are great for students, stay at home moms or dads. As always let’s find these legitimate stay a home jobs or businesses.

Legitimate Internet Home Business Review

2007-07-15T20:13:00.001-04:00

I took it to the streets

2007-07-04T23:42:00.000-04:00

Last weekend I decided to go out to the streets and meet people face to face. I wanted to know what kind of job or business people were looking for. Everyone I spoke to wanted to make more money. They all thought the Internet was full of scams. I asked them why did they feel that way. One hundred percent of the people I spoke with said you cannot make a lot of money Online.

So I decided to ask people if they wanted to make money on the Internet. That I was going to give them a Web site and that it was all going to be absolutly free. A few of them took the information I gave them and some did not want to know anything. I asked them to join for free and if they ran into any problems to email me.

It has been a week now and not one of them has secured a membership. I guess it was not all about the Internet because I was meeting them face to face. Maybe they will check things out when it is too late. Then they will lable it as a scam.

Who is scamming who?

2007-07-04T01:18:00.000-04:00

When it comes to Internet Home Business scams, who is the scammer? We have learned that about eight out of ten of these get rich quick businesses are scams. I agree that there are a lot of scams on the Internet; however, the most of the Internet Home Based Biz seeker are also scammers. They are looking for a get rich quick business without putting any work or effort to make their Biz succeed.

Maybe the seeker has tried one or two Online work from Home jobs and failed. So they label it a scam. I can say that most of the time is because they did not really try. It was taking a little too long from them so they quit. I know because I was there at one time. I have seen one person start the same Home Based Business as someone else and make a good amount of money while the other person failed. There is no way in the world you are going to make a million dollars coming out of the box without putting any effort.

There are very good money making Internet Home Businesses on the Net, but you have to use your knocker. A lot of people are lazy and they want a lot of money and they want to stay home. So if you have ever been scammed think about it. Who scammed who? You didn't even try and then you went and asked for your money back.

So, if you really want to make a lot of money on the Internet, get ready to work. You’re going to need to put in at least five to six hour a day to get your business on the right track. Get good package deals. You want to learn as much as possible, so read your books. Learn! Learn! Learn! Stop scamming yourself out of making plenty of money from your home business.
