Happy Holidays

Christmas is the time of giving and you can really pick up some
great free gifts being offered this year by many online publishers.

I won't mention all the sites currently offering free holiday gifts
since I don't know all of them but will share with you the ones I
have joined.

http://familyfunforyou.info/holidaygreeting.php

I just finished downloading the 3 free holiday e-books from
http://familyfunforyou.info/holidaygreeting.php
and must tell you they are great. No selling of products, no
advice to help you make money, just some things for you
to enjoy during this season.

So check out both sites because I'm sure you'll find something
that will catch your interest.

Happy Holidays,
Susan

Earning Money Through Online Surveys

Recently I was given a paid membership to
one of those Online Survey programs so I
could start making money by doing online
surveys.

Since I have taken offline surveys that paid
those who participated I thought I might as
well see how these programs worked in the
online community.

Now I will admit that I am fairly new at trying
this and have only signed up for about 8 of them
so my experiences are truly limited. And,
according to what I have read you have to sign
up at several hundred survey sites to earn any
substantial amounts through online surveys.

With that said I will now tell you what my
experiences have been so far.

First - They tell you set up a special inbox or
folder for your survey mail. This is good advice
since you will start getting a ton of offers from
both the survey places and the companies that
are using them to promote their products.

Second - A lot of the surveys don't pay cash for
taking a survey. They give you points that may
be redeemed for things of value or cash. I haven't
earned enough points to see how that works since
they require thousands of points before you can
redeem them and only give 2 -5 points for surveys
unless you sign up for the product being surveyed.

Third - You can get some really valuable free
products for some surveys but only if you sign up for
1 or more services promoted through the survey.
The services include things like: health plans, car loans,
mortgages, credit cards, book and tapeclubs, weight
loss products, etc. And once you've signed up you
usually have to stay with the program for a few months
to fulfill the requirements of the survey. (The expenses
for these programs run from$20 - $50 a month.)

Forth - Many surveys don't pay cash or points.
They give you an entry to win cash or some other
valuable prize.

Fifth - If you are retired, don't put that information
on the questionnaire to qualify for a survey. So far
everytime I have put retired as my occupation I have
been denied access to the survey. I now use
self-employed and am allowed to take the survey.

I guess that about sums up my experiences so far.
Since I don't have the time or desire to sign up at
hundreds of survey companies I doubt that I will
ever make any money with these services. Instead,
I will group them with the Safelist andPaid to Read
Email programs.

If you happen to belong to a survey program that
really does pay those who take surveys and have
actually received some valuable cash or reward
for your participation, please share that information
by posting a comment.

To Your Success,
Susan

Joint Venture Manager

Yesterday I started a poll to find out if you were
doing Joint Ventures and the votes are still coming
in.

But since I can see that some are involved in Joint
Ventures and because I just downloaded a new software
product that makes doing them easier, I thought I
would share some information about it.

A fellow subscriber, Raam, has just developed JVM
(Joint Venture Manager).

I downloaded it last night and took a look at it.
Now while I haven't had a chance to give it a work
out yet, it does look very straightforward and easy to
use so I will be giving it a try very soon.

The biggest benefit I can see for using this software
is that it will save a lot of time because you can
"Broadcast" your JV offer to your entire list of partners
at the touch of a button!

Along with this "tremendous" software, you also get:

1) 25 Joint Venture Proposal Templates (Like -
Ezine Ad swaps, Percentage of sales for ezine ad,
Percentage of sales for publishing an ezine article,
Cross promote products and the list goes on.)

2) JV Marketer's Handbook (There are 4 sections and
here's the title for 2 of them:
"Here's the 'secret' to boost your sales quickly and
easily in the next 3 days"
"How to find JV Partners you need?")

3) "567 Hypnotic Headlines" (A database of winning
headlines sorted into 15 categories.)

4) Another nifty little utility you will definitely love!
(I am not telling but Raam does when you read his site.)

Raam also told me that he may pull this package soon
because he is building a "paid membership" site and
moving all these things into it.

So if you are doing Joint Ventures or are going to be
doing them one of these days, do yourself a favor and
read Raam's site ASAP.

To Your Success,

PS - In case you are wondering why there's an affiliate
link I am doing a JV with Raam. Yes, I do JVs -
especially with subscriber who offer a good product
or service!)

DemandMail Upgraded

I have been using the DemandMail autoresponder service
for more than 2 years and just wanted to share some
of my thoughts about this service.

1. Very Affordable - one of most least expensive
autoresponder service found on the web at just
$14.97 a month for 99 autoresponders.

2. Super Tech Support - I have had to email tech
support a couple of times during the last 2 years
and have always received a reply quickly. And, the
replies have always answered and resolved my issues.

3. Great Spam Policy - As with all legitimate online
business, DemandMail doesn't allow their service
to be used by or promoted by spammers. However
if a user is accused of spam, they do allow you to
prove your innocence and keep your accounts.
(Just be sure to keep all those emails from your
autoresponder service stating that someone just
subscribed - they are the proof you need if someone
complains. I know this from experience!)

4. Super Service - They have just upgraded to a new
system so that now you can log into your account
once and access all your autoresponders. No more
do you have to remember all the names of your
autoresponders and all of their passwords. You can
copy messages from one autoresponder to another,
send text or html and all subscribers are now
double opt-in.

In my book, DemandMail is a 5 star service and I highly
recommend them to anyone looking for a good
autoresponder service.

Susan

Another Victim?

First I must tell you that I have never used the services of Managed.com and therefore can not tell you how good they are or boast about their great technical support.

The truth is – I don’t know anything about their service or technical support.

So why am I writing a review?

Managed.com may be the second victim in the fraudulent use of my PayPal account and this review is neither a positive or negative review of the company or its service. Rather, this review is to state how they responded when I notified them directly about the unauthorized use of my account.

As the company that was the intended receiver of my money, I discovered their business and read their site. From reading their site I found that they claim to be “a leading provider of world-class dedicated hosting, complex managed solutions, high availability network architecture, network infrastructure management, and secure contents distribution for small businesses, non-profit organizations, and global enterprises.” And by reading their contact page I see they are based in California and have both a phone and fax number plus several email addresses so you can contact them.

Because the unauthorized user of my account didn’t purchase the PayPal refund guarantee on October 7 when they made their purchase (big surprise), I was not able to go through PayPal to request a refund. So when I discovered the transaction on October 8, I contacted the billing department directly, explained what had happened and requested a refund. I also reported the transaction to PayPal as being an unauthorized use of my account and changed just about everything on the account in an attempt to keep the account from being broken into again.

Now being a trusting and naive person, I hoped that requesting a refund within 24 hours of a purchase would be honored.

WRONG!

Below is a copy of the billing departments email reply to my request and only my email address has been omitted for this review. Also, please note that the phone number contained in this letter is not my phone number so please don't try to use it to call me.

----------------
Dear Susan Carroll,

Thank you for contacting Managed.com. Please be aware that we did not bill your PayPal account. A person logged into your account, and sent money directly to us, for an order they had placed. Also please note that this customer also used your information;

BillingName: Susan Carroll
BillingAddress: 16 N. Eddy
City: Fort Scott
D1: KS
ZipCode: 66701
D3: US
Telephone: 305-292-5964
Email: The email address I did have on my PayPal account was included.

If this is truly fraud, you may want to close your PayPal account, or change the password. Since you have already put in a pending investigation, and service was already set up for the customer, we cannot give you a direct refund. Please standby for PayPal's procedures.

Thank you.
Billing DeptManaged.com
----------------

Needless to say this was not the reply I had hoped for.

Now for the good news!

PayPal completed their investigation by October 10 and refunded my money.

Who will I do business with in the future?

Well, if I ever decide to purchase a product like what Managed.com sells, I don’t think I will go to them. While their reply may be good business from a corporate point of view, I like companies that have a little more compassion for others and a better refund policy.
The service could not have been set up for more than 48 hours (the reply came within 48 hours of the purchase) so a refund would have been nice. But since this company does not post a refund policy, I guess they don’t have one.

As for PayPal – I think they did a fantastic job. Some of their procedures still confuse me since I know they didn’t have time to receive the requested snail mail copy of my claim before they could start the investigation when they notified me that the investigation was completed and my money refunded. I am only guessing that they take fraud complaints seriously enough to investigate them while waiting on a paper copy of the complaint and that the paper copy is required by law.

I pray that nothing like this ever happens to you. But if it does, may it get straightened out just as quickly and successfully as mine did.

Susan

Guilty By Association

Yesterday I posted an announcement in the newsletter because I thought that it didn’t go out.

I was WRONG!

The mailing went out but I didn’t get it and neither did anyone else who uses the same ISP as I do for my personal email.

I am really upset by this and I’ll tell you why.

One of the autoresponder services I use to send out the newsletter mailings is DemandMail.com. I have used them for a couple of years and have been very happy with their inexpensive service because they allow me set up an unlimited number of autoresponder accounts for one low monthly fee AND they have fantastic tech support.

When I didn’t think my mailings were going out because I wasn’t getting them or the “mailing complete” messages I wrote tech support. I expected to wait about 24 hours to hear a response but got one in just a couple of hours.

According to them, I wasn’t getting my messages they were sending because my ISP was using Spam Cop. They had sent a message from their service, discovered the problem and had to use a different email account to respond to my trouble request.

I immediately wrote my ISP about the matter and requested they remove Spam Cop from my account. It took them about 4 hours to respond with the following – your trouble ticket has been closed and please send the error message you received so we can forward it to Spam Cop to correct the problem.

How can the trouble ticket be closed when I still have the problem?

What error message?

I, the intended receiver didn’t get an error message. I didn’t get any indication that I wasn’t getting some of my email? I checked my email account to see if they had placed my blocked messages in some special folder but found nothing.

Well, to make this long story longer:

1. I have re-opened the ticket and told them to keep it that way until I find out if there was any error message to my autoresponder service.
2. I have requested the error message from my autoresponder service.
3. I checked into Spam Cop and found that I had to go through Alexa to find their contact information.
4. I have sent Spam Cop an email reporting the problem.
5. I also found out that Spam Cop doesn’t block individual email accounts or filter on words. They block messages according to the IP of the sender. In other words, if you are using an autoresponder or hosting account to send out your mail, your mail may not be getting through if they have your services IP on their blacklist.
6. I also know that Spam Cop doesn’t send the email address of the person reporting spam to the service sending the email. Thus, the autoresponder or hosting service can not request proof of opt-in and can not request that you remove the person from your list. As a result, your account may be canceled even if you could have provided proof that the person had opted-in.
7. I also know that some of the “big” places that offer free email accounts and where we all get a lot of spam – like Yahoo and MSN are not blocked.
8. I know that if you aren’t getting all your email you may not know it. And if you do and try to find those that were blocked, you can’t find it.

There are only 8 people on my list who use the same ISP mailbox that I use. So I know those people won’t get my mailings.

But what about all the others? I have no idea which ISPs use Spam Cop so I have no idea how much of my list is not getting my mail.

Am I upset? YES!!!

I have been found guilty of sending spam to myself and others by someone I don’t know and who doesn’t give me the opportunity to defend myself. I have been blacklisted because of some report by a nameless person who may not even know they complained.

I am guilty by association with a service that provides contact information on every page and has a strict anti-spam policy. I am guilty by association because someone, somewhere reported spam sent by someone using that same service.

Was that person guilty of sending spam? I don’t know.

Was that person allowed to offer proof that they weren’t sending spam? No.

Is that person still using the same service? Probably not and here’s why:
“We get some complaints from SPAM Cop without the complainers email or name so we have no way to remove them from anyone's' list. We have had to delete several accounts from our system because of the heavy handed tactics of SPAM Cop.”

May your day be better than mine,
Susan

A Subscriber's Review Of A New Program

By now you've probably seen a ad for Mike Filsaime's
new ListDotCom list building program. Since I'm on
Mike mailing list, I've been getting email about it
for more than a week.

Now, I have joined other list building programs and
have never had much success with them so when I saw
what Mike's new program was, I dismissed it.

But now it seems that there are some points about
this program that need to be brought to your attention
in case you are considering it.

I received an email from Lamar Ownes on 10/3 and
another on 10/5 from Hodges Hines. Since Hodges is
both a friend and subscriber I am posting his
message to this blog.

Again, I have had no experience with this program
and am only sharing information that I have received
from others.

Susan
---------------------------------
Today's Review
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
I am sure by now a lot of you who are on other
marketing email lists have seen the ad from Mike Filsaime.
It is an ad that states you now have the opportunity to
build a list of thousands in a few days by referring others
to join under you.

I have to tell you that I almost fell for the hype myself
before realizing what the truth really is about this site.

To make matters worse for Filsaime and ListDotCom.com
I received this message form my Partner and Friend,
Lamar Owens.

QUOTE....
"Blew it and because I care about our relationship, I'm
asking you to disregard my previous email regarding the big
announcement. I also apologize and ask for your forgiveness.
Please do NOT join Mike Filsaime's listdotcom site and here
is why:

I trusted Mike Filsaime to do what he said he was going
to do and that was to help us build a list fast that we
could mail to everyday if we wanted through his new site.
He said it wouldn't cost a cent--He lied! We can't mail out
everyday and only if you pay him $80 bucks a month he will
allow you to mail every few days...

It sounded great and I fell for the story--turns out it’s too
good to be true.

I'm sorry, I apologize and I ask you NOT to join his list
site. I work hard to build my rapport with you and give you
quality information. Based on the information I was
given...I thought it was great.

Mike's version of "omission marketing" by not telling us
the whole story...is wrong. I asked him questions prior to
launch (via email) and he said all would be revealed on
launch.

I have list building techniques that I KNOW WORK-- My Optin
helps you grow your list(s) fast and I STAND BEHIND IT 100%

Explode Your Sales--10,000 Monthly Optin Leads Program
http://tinyurl.com/6td75

Thanks again...and I will surely be steering clear of Mike
Filsaime and NEVER promote anything of his EVER again.

Sincerely,
Lamar"
.....UNQUOTE

I am not into "poking anyone in the eye" or "spitting
poison" on someone for the sake of putting them down. It
has become hard enough in the marketing arena to make sales
without potential customers seeing us write about conflicts
we may have with other marketers.

What I am into is ETHICAL marketing the way it should be
done. There is no reason to lie to you or shoot you out a
sales letter that is blatant with lies. Hype sells but hype
is not always ethical in presentation. My suggestion to you
is to wait this one out until the dust settles.

What this is; is no more than a safelist that is being
built for Mike Filsaime on the backs of well known marketers
and you if you have joined and recommended others.

I have quoted my Partner Lamar and trust me if he says it
is a scam then be careful as you deal with Filsaime but if
you must be a part of this then go read a special report by
another well known marketer Kevin Bidwell. You can pick up
a copy of his report below.

Dead Link Bloodhound

Have you ever clicked a link only to
get a page not found error?

Well, I know I have so today I pulled
out my dusty copy of Dead Link Bloodhound
to test the links on my newest page
http://www.friendswhocare.us/forum.htm

Now since I had copied all the links
on this page from other pages, I felt
confident that they would all work. You
can only imagine how surprised I was
whenI found that I had 2 dead links.

Well, I learned my lesson. I fixed the
links on the new page, checked the
links on the page I had copied them from -
and intend to keep my copy of Dead Link
Bloodhound out for awhile while I do some
more checking on some of my other pages.

I don't know why I haven't been using
this tool all along since it only takes a
couple of seconds to check all the links -
but I haven't.

Please don't make the same mistake I
made by not checking all the links on all
your pages. Broken links frustrate site
visitors and cost you customers.

If you have only a few pages with only a
few links you can check them manually.
But if you're like me and have more than
a few pages and lots of links, you need
a tool like Dead Link Bloodhound to get
the job done - fast.

To Your Success,
Susan

PS - It's a great inexpensive tool that more
of us should be using and it comes with full
resale rights.

used one of my links.

Goldliger Marketing, Inc.
17171 Glencoe Avenue
Lakeville, MN 55044
------------------------------------

Now I must admit that I haven't tried the web-site
builder or the Advanced Turnkey Business Packages.
Since I use FrontPage I haven't needed the
web-site builder and I just found out about the
Advanced Turnkey Business Packages this week.
(Bryan adds new tools and resouces every few months.)
But now that I know about it, I may be setting
one of them up soon.

One of the things I do use quite often and
Bryan didn't mention is the article database.
While I don't usually copy an article from this
resouce, I do use it to gather information about
some of the things I write about. The database
is huge and all the articles are written by
well known internet marketers.

Another resouce I have used several times is
the E-book of the month. These are especially
written viral digital products that you can brand
and give away.

And one last word about the resale rights
packages. I have downloaded hundreds of dollars
worth of these (valued at well more than the
cost of the membership). And I haven't downloaded
everything available nor have I tried to sell
everything I have downloaded primarily because
I just don't have the time.

OK, I'll stop raving about PBP except to say
that the owner, Bryan Winters, is a great guy.
Over the last three years I have had to write
once with a question and received an answer the
next day. When spam became such a big issue a
couple of years ago and started to affect our
autoresponder service, Bryan stepped up to the
problem and fixed it in less than a week. PBP
now owns it own double opt-in autoresponder
service so that our service can not be affected
by non-members and we don't get spam complaints!

Alright, I'll stop with the hard sell about PBP.

To Your Success,
Susan

Spyware Nuker

Don't know about you but I finally got disgusted with all the
spyware and adware on my computer. It seemed that pop-ups
and browser windows were opening constantly and it was
really slowing me down.

About three weeks ago I purchased Spyware Nuker and I
must tell you that it has really helped.

The first time I ran it, it found 83 objects - no wonder my
computer was acting badly, it was possessed!

Now I have to admit that Spyware Nuker does not prevent
this intrusive code from being placed on your machine so you
have to run it periodically. I try to run it every Saturday and
did have to run it more often one week. (Those start page
exchanges can really load this stuff on your machine quickly!)

Also, one Saturday I did have to run it three times to get all the
garbage removed. The first time I ran it, it found 57 objects to
be removed. When it went to remove them it found one that
needed the system to reboot to complete the removal. I clicked
"OK" and all went well but I decided to run the program again
just to make sure everything was gone. Good thing I did since it
found 17 objects to be removed. Again it found one that needed a
system reboot. After that reboot, I ran it again and found only
4 objects to be removed. I did run it again after it removed the
4 objects just to be sure but it didn't find anything.

After using Spyware Nuker for a few weeks I highly recommend
this product. I still get garbage put on my computer but now I
can clean it up anytime I want without reloading my operating
system.

If you would like to scan your computer for free and see if you
have any spyware or adware downloaded onto your machine
go here:
http://friendswhocare.us/scansite.htm

If you do then you should get something to get rid of it and I
recommend Spyware Nuker.

Real-Marketing.com

If you are looking for a hosting service I personally recommend that
you check out Real-Marketing.com. I have been with this service for
more than two years and they just keep surprising me with their
fantastic service.

The latest surprise came today when I read my email from them
stating that they had just doubled the size of all hosting accounts -
free of charge. Well, I immediately checked this out and found
that they hadn't actually doubled my web site's size - they had in
fact increased it by 150%. This news couldn't have come at a
better time for me since I was looking to increase the size of my
account and just hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Now this is not the first time they have doubled the size of my
account free of charge nor is it the first time they have gone out
of their way to take care of me. And before you think that I am
one of their biggest and best customers or affiliates then let me
set the record straight because I am not.

I started using Real-Marketing's "Starter" package a little over
two years ago and still do. Since I do highly recommend them
I do receive an affiliate check from them but it is less than $100
so I doubt that I am one of their top affiliates.

With that said, let me tell you some of the reasons this company
impresses me so much:

1. They have super technical support -
   When I first starting I had a lot of trouble getting my first
   site up and running correctly. Not only did they give me
   advice on how to correct my problems but they also went
   into the code and actually fixed the problem for me. I don't
   know if they still fix code for their users but I know they
   still give good technical support in a timely manner since I
   have had other reasons to contact them over the last two
   years and they have always responded within 24 hours or
   less.
2. They are honest and working for their affiliates -
   When I moved I forgot to change my mailing address with
   them. But it didn't take long to correct this since they emailed
   me to get my correct mailing address when one of my affiliate
   checks was returned to them.
3. They keep their users aware of downtime -
   Whenever the service is down for maintenance or upgrades they
   notify all the users before the scheduled outage and again when they
   are back online.
4. They offer professional services with their small accounts -
   Even with my little "Starter" package account, they offer all the
   professional services of a much larger account.
5. As hosting space becomes less expensive, they pass this on
   to their users -
   This is the second time in my two+ years of being one of their
   customers that they have doubled the size of my account.

These are the major reasons that I deal with Real-Marketing.com
and personally recommend them. So if you are looking for a "good"
hosting service that is inexpensive but offers all the benefits of a
professional site then you really should check out Real-Marketing.com.

To Your Success,

Last night I read a new e-book written by a
fellow subscriber on identity theft. Sadly
I must tell you that the book was written
because of first hand knowledge about this
horrible crime.

Jeffery and Karyn became victims of an
identity theft crime through no fault of
their own and weren't even the intended
victims. Now they are trying to put their
lives back together and help others avoid
being caught in this type of terrible
nightmare.

This e-book contains a lot of information
that everyone, and I mean Everyone
should know.

Things like:

* Many of the ways identity theft happens
* Things everyone should do to protect themselves
* What to do if your identity is stolen
* Who to look to for help if it happens
* How susceptible you are to having it happen
* and a whole lot more.

I must admit that this e-book was not a fun
read because the stories it tells are tragic.
But every story is true and conveys just how
horrible this type of crime is.

Did you know that identity theft can have
more than one victim?

Did you know that identity theft can go on
for years without detection?

Did you know that you could be accused and
arrested for a felony crime when you are
actually a victim of identity theft?

I didn't until I read the e-book.

Again I'll state - This e-book contains
information that everyone should know.

To protect yourself you need to be aware.

Browser Kickstart

Earlier this month I was contacted by Neil Shearing from
scamfreezone.com about a new product he had just launched...
Browser Kickstart.

He didn't have much to say about this product except that
"it helps people use their browsersmore effectively."

Being curious about what it was all about Ichecked it out.

Briefly, this tool allows you to create headings and list your
favorite sites under them, much like you do when you create
folders for your bookmarked sites. The big difference is that
when you click one of your created headings you do not open
the list of favorites and select a site to come up in the open
window. Instead the tool actually opens and loads a browser
window for each of the listed sites under the heading.

Talk about a time saver!

Got a list of favorite affiliate programs where you check your
stats regularly?

How about a list of the different pay systems you check to see
your commissions?

Maybe you have some ezines you read online regularly.
(Like mine I hope.)

If you're an online publisher you might have some places where
you go on a regular basis to research your topic.

And the list of possibilities goes on: start page exchanges,
favorite places to advertise, forums, auctions, search engines,
etc.

OK, I'll admit that it doesn't take very long to open a window
and select a site - just a couple of seconds. But those seconds
add up to minutes each week and hours each month.
 
I don't know about you but I am always looking for a way to
save time. 
 
To Your Success,
Susan

Affiliate Advantage

I recently reviewed a product for one of your fellow
subscribers and he requested a testimonial if I liked
it. Well, I didn't like it... I loved it.
 
I am posting the testimonial I sent Steve for his new
"Affiliate Advantage" product but you don't have
to read it here. You can click the title to see the
product at work and if you fill in the form you'll see
the page where my testimonial appears.

Steve,

After reading your e-book and trying your product
all I can say is Wow! You’ve provided the tools and
instructions it takes to make affiliate marketing a success.

Not being an expert web designer, I’ve been using
FrontPage for several years and can’t believe how
much time these tools save. The programs you’ve
created save hours and produce great looking pages…
and if I want to add some of my own style all I have
to do is use your tool to do 90% of the work and add
my own finishing touches.

Your e-book “Get The Affiliate Advantage” provides
not only step-by-step instruction on how to use the
6 EZ creation tools but tells when and where to use
them. This information alone is priceless.

If I had to pick one word to describe “Affiliate
Advantage” is would be “Overwhelming” because
“Affiliate Advantage” surpasses amazing, fantastic,
great, super, wonderful and all the other words used
to describe a truly good product.

You’ve just made it easier for more people to become
successful at affiliate marketing.

Thank you,
Susan Carroll
