Online Earnings: December 2008

The LIFELESS of PTC Industry

December 19, 2008 | Labels: Ptc Articles | 3 comments |

Near to death.. but still hope.

This entry will not be long as I'm not in mood of writing after all happens in ptc industry. Just finished clicking some of 'still surviving' sites and updated my personal 'ms excel' records on clicking, pending payment, potential ptc etc and sent ticket to 7 ptc support teams including Alertpay and PayPal. This industry actually opened up lots of online income opportunities from advertisements I read and forums attended. This is the hidden treasure of PTC..

The latest news about the collapse of SandraClicks and Buxout together with the drastic change and reset of Thinkbux really made my week disturbed. As from my observations, Buxout seems to be the most stable PTC at the moment and I have about $40++ in it (my earning with all my test team members). I made a mistake by deciding not to withdraw it (actually waiting for it to reach $50). Sorry to all my Buxout test team members. I can't make any dispute through Alertpay as I did not made any investment in Buxout, it is just pure 84 direct referrals from this blog. But if you realize one thing, I never put SandraClicks and Buxout banners in my Suggested PTC column (sidebar)..

I discussed with Izah (Singaporean PTC 'guru') last night about Buxout offering nice 'knockdown' prices for referrals and premium membership weeks before they decided to shut down the site. Me myself happened to make a huge investment base on this offer together with SkySurf, but luckily I was busy with academic conferences that time. Izah concluded that the 'sign' of scam ptc or intended-to-run-away admin is to offer this 'knockdown' prices so that they can have a lot of money before shutting down the site. This is the lesson learned from what happened recently and please take note of this.. Before I forget, congratulations to SkySurf who just got about RM13 000 from one of his investment profile.

Just read a news about Jane (UOB team) to hand over Uronlinebux to new admin and I bet that this site will be the next biggest failure. They can't just shut down the site as it is associated with the well known UronlineBiz team, so they just get rid the damn Uronlinebux from Uronlinebiz first before $%$***$#... we will see what will happen.

With this, I rest my case..

p/s: I still don't have time to translate the Alertpay Dispute procedures, sorry to those who requested that.

p/s: Those who email me this week, please forgive me if your email is not replied. I'll try to reply it as soon as I have free time. Not easy to read and reply all 143 emails (up until yesterday)...

p/s: Again to all Thinkbux and Buxout test team, sorry for what happen. It is beyond my ability..

Refund procedure from SCAM PTC through Alertpay

Alertpay Refund

I think this is a very good guidance for us to get back our money from scam PTCs. If you ever bought any referral, premium from any SCAM PTCs through Alertpay, you can use this guidance. Credit to 'Javier' for posting this useful information. This procedure written mainly in dealing with SandraClicks issue, but you can use it for other PTC as well.

How to start an AlertPay Dispute (http://www.zonadecontacto.com/index.php?topic=36.0)

These instructions are valid for initiating disputes of all kinds, whether by PTC, HYIP or any other service / product purchased through this payment processor.

SUGGESTIONS
1. Do not use CAPS in the message to AlertPay´s executives.
2. Do not demand, ask.
3. Do not expect AlertPay pay your earnings, as most they will return your investment.

Anyone who invested only time, unfortunately, can not initiate disputes, since AlertPay has nothing to do with that.

AlertPay handles a clear and precise policy for Disputes, they require to follow several steps before starting a dispute:

PRIOR STEPS
1. Verify that your deadline payments indicated in SandraClick´s TOS, have actually expired.
2. Try to contact OLD admin for all the resources availables (currently just his AlertPay accounts, since SandraClicks has new owner).
3. If you don´t miss any of this points, AJSM doesn´t reply you and your payment was made within 30 days ago since nov 3th, you can start a dispute. Those who have other dates (before nov 3th), unfortunately, are not subject to prosecution.

HOW TO START A DISPUTE
1. Login to AlertPay with your personal data.
2. Once authenticated, click on "Help".
3. Press link "Submit a Ticket".
4. In item "Select Department", choose "Security / File Report" and press Next.
5. In section "General Information", in "Full Name" obviously type name of the account holder (your full name), while in "Email", write the same mail registered in your AlertPay account.
6. On "Security / File Report", in "Topic" select "User Agreement Violation," while in "Website URL" have to write the address of the site that has not fulfilled its part of the deal.
7. In "Message Details", write in "Subject" any of the following titles: "Scam", "I was scammed," "Help required" or any other variable of this type.
10. In the message body, obviously detail a general overview of your problem, and don´t forget to include your payment transactions (ID reference it´s pioritary).

SandraClicks Scam?

Is SandraClicks Scam?

Today I have a free time to go through ptc forums and visiting some ptc blogs to know about the latest news in ptc industry. A lot of new ptc pop up nowadays and disappears quickly. Relating to this issue, I have stop distributing my ptc ebook for updating the essential "Risk of PTCs". People lost their money easily to ptc because they don't have the thorough understanding about the possible risks of ptc. Making money quickly, getting rich easily and other short term thinking are not really work to flood your pocket with bucks. Make some money from ptc, use it to start your own serious 'Internet Business' and move forward. Don't just locked yourself in investing to ptc and lost your money at the end without having any real income stream from the net. Enough said from Muaz Hadi!! hehe

Back to our topic, about SandraClicks. I remember that I wrote about a good system implemented by them last time, 'rented referral' system. The idea is good and some other 'big' ptc starts implementing it including IsabelMarco. But something going so wrong about SandraClicks recently. After the announcement of the death of his fiance, the payout going unstable and no more instant payments. Reasoning for that issues caught Alertpay problem to backup their statement. Fair enough.. huh?

On 22th Nov 08, some members got their payment and it bring a huge hope to all members. A lot of members start investing more money base on this so-called 'fake' indicator. (For your information, I haven't put any penny on this ptc, following my own instinct.) Then the payments stop again until today. Something fishy went around when he appointed someone called 'Carsten' as an admin and at last Carsten come out with the statement that it was a 'FAKE' that he was given a power to deal with complaints etc. It just a brilliant idea from SandraClicks admin AJMS to put someone 'in action' to take the blame, and unlucky for a helpful moderator like Carsten to take the blame.

I don't really know the situation, AJMS must be in a difficult position after the sudden lost of his fiance. It was not fair for people to accuse him as a liar on this issue and I'm taking this matter seriously. And for the pending payment, the 'speculation' that the site will be shutting down and the admin taking the money with him.. all are pure native and stereotype statement attacking the unstable ptc. All are not confirmed until it is really happen. What we have now is to take a precaution step, not to invest. That's all.

**Update, I heard that AJMS is refunding the investment made by members. Good news isn't it?

Alertpay down.. DDoS Attack!

December 6, 2008 | Labels: DDos Attack | 4 comments |

Yes, you got it! Alertpay was attacked and down. The massive DDoS attack made the site inaccessible for users and I'm a little bit worried about it as I have a lot of fund in it and incoming funds also. The issues settled quickly by Alertpay team and this demonstrate the reliability and stability of Alertpay team. Hopefully they will be as strong as PayPal in the future. This is the official statement from Alertpay;

We have finally mitigated the massive DDOS attack that started at 6:00am EST. Unfortunately it took almost all day to resolve. The site is operational now, and hopefully we'll continue to tweak it more tomorrow to ensure this doesn't happen again.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and we understand that this outage affects each of you personally. We’re sorry for that. We will continue to put measures in place so that outages like this do not occur again.

Serious Start - December!

December 4, 2008 | Labels: General, Payment Proof | 2 comments |

As mentioned before, last month was the worst month for me. December comes with some beauty in it, I got a good results in my exam, my research proposal is about 80% completed and I have one conference in Penang to attend, to meet some friends there also. My online income target this month shall be minimum of $500 and I have to put a side of $200 for my "Project C". Bought a new domain for that project with GoDaddy last night, but haven't buy any domain for this blog though.. let it be a little bit 'low profile' huh?? This is my 8th income stream 'to-be' I guess, but I have a big plan ahead if this project run as planned.

This month started with a good start, up until now (writing this entry) I got 5 payments to my PayPal and Alertpay amounting about $74 I guess. Pray for my success as I have no salary for this month!! This is the payment screen shot from Bidvertiser with a censored amount, how much they paid me?? hehe

November Analysis

December 2, 2008 | Labels: General, Payment Proof | 3 comments |

November 2008 was not a good month for me. For some reason I declined an easy-steady job contract and this decision make my whole month a little bit 'terrible'. I have 7 income streams and last month 4 have problems including the 'shocking shut down' of Matched.Co.Uk where I earned quite a lot from them. PTC earning as always with some pending payment problems but I managed to get around $69 from other small PTCs. I will hold my PTC project for a while, waiting for my big cashout from Buxto and IM. Tried Megalido and got some payment from there and yet my biggest Online Earnings last month still from selling adsense blogs and some blogging activities.

My affiliate partner quit from our project, very disappointing. I'm planning to invest for mentorship program by Mike Filsaime next year and hope that he will still be with me at that time. My eBay project was slow and my 'love story' spoiled in November too. Just started to blooming but yet .... shezzz.

Overall, my online earning last month was only $221.36 not even half of October and September's earnings. CPA gave me some bucks but I still waiting for some payment from this activity. I'll continue to add another income stream for my online earnings and next project will be "IIUM Classifieds". I have planned everything and hopefully this project will come true with some helps from my new partner, Sister Alawiyah Ahmad!

This month earnings closed by unbelievable payment from MoneyCycler..
