Getting Started With Marketing Pond

When you take your first look at
Marketing Pond,
there a lot of free opportunities, each with their little box waiting for your ID to be inserted. Knowing where to start and what to do next can be a bit tricky, so, I thought I would write a little about my approach to doing things. I am not necessarily saying my way is the best way, but it may help with getting started and maximizing your free revenues. The Pond is split into categories with paying programs and advertising programs. Sometimes these are the same thing as you are able to earn from some of the advertising programs. The first thing to do of course is to scroll down the page and see if you are already enrolled in some of the programs. If so, simply enter your ID, not your whole referral, just the ID into the box and click the update button at the bottom of the page. Once that is done, it's time to get down to business, the task of joining the other programs. What should you join first, and then what next and so on and so on. Here are some of the programs listed in the order I like to recommend joining with a small explanation of why it is in that order.
Please Note: Unless you know for sure that I referred you,
log in to Marketing Pond and click on the link so your sponsor gets the referral.
I don't want to steal anyone's referrals from them.

Slash My Search

Get paid for searching, activity in the forum, and be sure to go to
slashmymail.com
after you get logged into Slash My Search and sign up for a free email account, you get paid for all email activities with that account.

Take The Internet Back

Earn points for reading email. Try signing up with your slashmymail address so that you get the point for reading the email, and you get paid by slashmymail for reading it.

Deals N Cash

Get paid for reading email. Unfortunately I wasn't ever able to get the confirmation email at my slashmymail address, I don't think they allow their emails to get through.

Hits 4 Pay

I did get the confirmation email for this one at my slashmymail account. It's another earn for reading email program

myLot

This one is great, get paid for participating in discussions, and/or, just refer other people and get paid for their discussions. Works with slashmymail addresses.


As far as the rest of the programs go, there's no particular order I have found yet. I recommend these first because they tend to bring in the most cash. If you have found something that works better, please leave a comment and let me know. Don't forget to use the advertising programs listed on Marketing Pond to promote your Marketing Pond url. Remember, when signing up to one of the programs, use your slashmymail account if you can, that way you get paid every time you get email. If you don't receive your confirmation email with in a few minutes though, you may need to try signing up again with a different email address.

Something For Nothing - I Think Not!

What’s up with all the work at home opportunities that claim there’s no work involved? If there’s no work to be done, then why does the company need you? I must say that if I had a company and didn’t need someone to help do the work, I’m certainly not going to be paying them for not doing anything. I especially love the opportunities that require a 1 time investment that will pay you over and over again with no work involved. One time payment of $20.00 will earn you $1,000.00 over and over again while you relax on the beach, no referring, no selling, etc, etc. Sounds nice doesn’t it… Except for the ending part where you never make a dime and the company has your nonrefundable investment, or perhaps the investment is supposed to be refundable, but good luck actually getting it back. It’s about as likely as driving up to a bank and trying to trade $20s for $100s.
You can always tell these kinds of things when opportunities try and make a great thing even better. There are some great aspects to working at home that make it better than any public job. Examples are:

  • Work your own schedule, not someone else’s.

  • Want a day off, take it and don’t worry about getting fired, cause you’re the boss.

  • Save gas by not driving to work, you’re already there.

  • Spend more time with your kids, after all, they’re already at work with you.


I am sure you can add hundreds or even thousands more reasons, but those are just a few off the top of my head. With reasons like that, why would you need to make it better by saying there’s no work involved. Of course there’s going to be some work involved, else there’s no money being generated, and there has to be money coming in from somewhere if you enjoy things like food, electricity, water, internet, telephone, etc. In my case, my work involves things like reading email, visiting sites, clicking ads, referring people to programs, coming up with ways to help them and myself maximize our earnings, weeding out the non-paying scam programs, and adding new products to my website as well as general site maintenance. It’s not hard work, but it is work, and if I am relaxing on a beach somewhere, it’s not getting done. So, there is work involved with working at home, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Marketing Pond Review

If you have been following my blog at all, you have probably seen the Marketing Pond link at the bottom of each posting. So, I figure it's time to do a little explaining, especially for those of you not curious enough to click the link. When I say that Marketing Pond can help you earn free money online, I am not kidding, this isn't another one of those BS programs that require a fee once you have joined, you won't even find an upgrade option in the site anywhere except when mentioning the other free programs. Marketing Pond was originally designed to help get referrals for Agloco, but now it has grown to so much more than that. Even if I never get a single sign up for Agloco through Marketing Pond, I still stand to gain a nice residual income by promoting Marketing Pond. The process is quite simple, all you have to do is

  • Sign up at Marketing Pond

  • Go through the list of supported programs and sign up to each one

  • Start promoting your Marketing Pond url


Don't have any idea how to promote your url? That's taken care of for you too. The answer is in the list of advertising programs. Not only can you earn from them, you may also advertise through them. It's how I built and am continuing to build my pond. Of course you can also add your Marketing Pond url to your signature line in your emails, put it on business cards, fliers, etc. Here are just a few things that make Marketing Pond such a successful program.

  • no selling anything

  • no hours on the phone for some training or conference call listening to the same thing over and over again

  • no monthly fees or fees of any kind

  • no autoship to fill your closet with unused and unwanted potions and powders

  • the tools to succeed are right there in front of you on the Marketing Pond page

  • The ability to email your downline. I recommend using it just to let your downline know someone is there and willing to help if they need it.

  • Only 1 url to promote for all of the programs

  • If one of the free programs turns out to be a dud, they don't pay, it is found out pretty quickly and the program is removed. This saves time, and the effort of building a downline on that 1 program won't be wasted either because your downline will still be in the other, paying programs.


So, how much can you earn with Marketing Pond? Well, the short answer is the sky is the limit. The real answer is it depends on you. If you promote your url, if you build your pond, then the sky really is the limit. A thousand dollars a month isn't an unrealistic goal. Sure it won't happen right away, but if you enroll in the programs and build your pond, it will happen. Now I know that there are hundreds maybe thousands of paid businesses out there that say you can earn ten thousand dollars a month, but if you can find 10 people in one of those businesses who are breaking even, I would be pretty impressed. With Marketing Pond, I am already doing better than breaking even, because it's pure profit, I haven't spent a penny on it. I have done some paid advertising for it, but because I earned the money by clicking ads and referring people to the advertising program through Marketing Pond, it didn't really cost me anything except a few minutes of my time. Even if you are in one of those paid businesses, you still have to spend time with it, and in most cases, more time than with Marketing Pond.
So, there you have it, this is why Marketing Pond is one of the best programs on the internet today, right up there with
Take The Internet Back,"
which is one of the programs listed in Marketing Pond.

Sure They Can Still Advertise, But Now They Gotta Pay!

My goal of making a lot of dough is moving closer to fruition. Each new sign up I get in each free program ads just a little more to it. That's the beauty of these free opportunities, I am helping pay someone's bills when I participate, and when my referrals participate they are helping to pay mine. Even though I am involved with several free opportunities, they really take very little time out of the day. I was listening to the TV this morning as I was writing an email to a friend when a commercial came on. I stopped typing to listen for a sec because for some reason it caught my attention, but then it dawned on me that I wasn't getting paid for this commercial, so I went back to typing and ignored the rest of it, I don't even remember what it was about. I was, however, getting paid for the email I was sending because I used my slashmymail account. It's part of the free money making opportunities offered by
Slash My Search.
This made me think, most of those free programs take so little time of the day that you could do them while watching TV> Most channels have commercials, and they don't pay you to watch them. In fact, if you have cable or satellite TV, you are paying for the privilege of watching those commercials. While those commercials are on, you could be
Getting paid for viewing ads on Clicxsense,
Getting points for reading your TIB emails,
Or Getting paid for viewing Word Links ads.
It sure beets watching ads on the television for free. I actually like advertising, it let's me know what new products are coming out and such, but I like it even better when I am getting paid to know about it. So, the next time you are watching your favorite show and an ad comes on, think about how much you could be getting paid for your ad viewing pleasure.

Take the Internet Back Review

Take the Internet Back

is such a great program. I don't plan on writing reviews for programs until I know for sure that they are profitable, honest, and worth my time to review, and your time to read about them.

I have been impressed with TIB every since I heard about them. I joined right away, and I have not been disappointed. To become an owner of this company is extremely simple. You only need to read between 1 and 10 email per day for six months and refer 2 people to become a member for life. Even if you read 10 emails per day, and I do when they send them, it only takes about 10 minutes, maybe less to read them. That's 10 minutes a day to become an owner of a company. Most of us work 8 hours a day at our day jobs and when the day ends, we are right back where we started, no ownership of the company, a puny little paycheck, etc. As far as getting 2 referrals, it's rather simple. Invite your friends and family to join. After all, you're not asking them for money, pushing a sell on them, or anything like that, you are helping them get ownership of a company that is going to be huge. In fact, if you don't tell your friends and family, when the company does become huge, they are probably going to be quite vex with you. If you do tell them and they don't join, then you get the good ol' fashion "I told you so".

If however, you don't have anyone in your friends and family who wants to join, you can promote your referral link on a manual traffic exchange such as

Traffic Swarm.

This is the free way to do it, and you can have people visiting your referral page in just a few minutes. If, however, you want instantaneous results, you could try

ClixSense,

Word Links,

or

AD Bucks.

Those sites are all free to join, and if you don't have the cash to pay for advertising on them, you can read other ads to get paid and then convert your earnings into ad credits. I guess what I am saying is that with a little effort, you can advertise on them for free.

So, now back to why TIB is so awesome. Not only do you get ownership of TIB, you also get ownership of the sites we buy using the war chest. Notice the word we in the last sentence. It's there because I am an owner of the company. I can't stress that part enough, we, and you if you join, own this company. Here are the other companies that we own as well.

Exchange Pilot"

a manual traffic exchange, and bidhire.com, a 1 of a kind website that deserves a review all of its own. Go there and check it out if you have the time, it could mean a huge source of extra income for you.

So, what are all of the ways you can make money from TIB? Here's the answer.

So there you have it. Tib is the best thing to happen to the internet in a long time, quite possibly ever. I could probably go on and on for hours telling how great this program is, but I, like you, have other things to do. SO, join

Take the Internet Back

today and start promoting it. Then you too will have nothing but great things to say about it.

To Make A Million

I want money and lot of it. I used to think that people who spent $5000.00 on a glass of fine wine were either insane or had way too much money on their hands. I now believe that assessment is completely wrong. Those people aren't insane, and there is absolutely no such thing as too much money. They are just doing what ever they want when ever they want with out having to worry if they will be able to pay their bills for the month. I am sure it's a great feeling, and I will know it soon. There are theories that you attract things to yourself based on your mind set, and if that is the case, I should be rolling in the dough any day now. Unfortunately, it's not always that simple, I am sure you have heard the old saying that goes "wish in one hand..."
Well, there's a little more than wishing to be done. To reach goals, action is required. Lots of sites and people would have you believe that in order to make money you have to spend money. AT one point that may have been true, but the internet changes everything. There are lots of free programs out there where you can make money for doing things like viewing ads, reading email, taking surveys, etc. Sure some of these programs may turn out to be scams, but if they are free, at least no money has been wasted on them. I would rather waste 5 minutes a day for 3 months on a free scam then lose a dollar on a paid scam.
Some of my friends have complained about the low amounts earned in some of the email ad programs. They would ask "why click and wait 15 or 30 seconds for 1/4 of a penny?" This is a good question, because on the surface of it it does look kind of ridiculous. The answer is, I may be only getting a fourth of a penny when I click, but I am also getting paid when the people I refer to it click too. Sure it may take a massive downline to make a thousand dollars a month at it, but it can happen and even if I only get 10 bucks a month from it, that's still $10.0 more than if I didn't do it. Also, if I keep at it long enough and even passively refer people to it, I will eventually get thousands in my group and I will make $1000.00 a month with it. The only way I can fail is if I don't even try. Always remember, the only way you truly fail is if you don't try. I will do more than try; I will succeed as I hope you do.
Thanks for reading, and good luck to you in all you do.

Finding Income Online

If you try to find a source of income online, it only takes a few minutes to get swamped with them. There are tons of companies that promise everything for little or no work at all. There are plenty of them that promise you'll be making a yearly salary weekly. They have testimonials of people who were living practically on the street and now own yots, sports cars, and mansions. After that the site goes on to tell you how you can become just like that person if you'll just pay the sign up fee. Many of these companies also require you to order products every month which leads to you having to spend even more money. Add this to the fact that 97 percent of these types of companies fail, and you have to wonder if those people who were living on the street were out of their minds to spend their money on those kind of odds.
There are several sites where you can join for free, and these are the only ones I like to consider. There are still plenty of dishonest free opprotunities out there, but at least you haven't invested anything but a little time in them. Some free companies have upgrade options available. You can usually tell if the company is worth upgrading because if they are, you can make enough to upgrade as a free member.
I am not saying that all of the paid companies are scams or anything like that, I am sure that some of them are quite good, but here are some things I have wondered about them.

  • If they make millions of dollars a month selling their products, why do they need your sign up fee?

  • If they require you to purchase an amount of products monthly, exactly who are they making the millions of dollars from, customers or members?

  • Why would they require you to purchase products anyway, that's what dropshipping is for after all.


Always remember to read the terms of use and privacy policy for any company you decide to join. I know it's a lot to read, but it can save hours and hours of headaches.
