Some Observations About Working On The Internet

What I know for sure about working on this mystifying and wonderful internet. There has never been anything like it before. Nothing where we could go so quickly from one country to another in a virtual world and achieve success on our own.

1. That the opportunity has never been as great to develop your own business.
2. That the same habits of working at a business haven't changed. Dedication, focus, being present and hard working are activities that are essential to making it in the virtual world.
3. Studying to learn all you can is the key to success.
4. Knowing yourself and what you like, or will do is what makes it possible to find your niche.

Using the above information how do we determine from thousands of choices which business or program will work the best for us?

This is much harder to decide. In the real world there are many choices also, but there are more ways to test them out because we do more of the business face to face. Does that seem to make a difference? In some ways yes because we can have a better gut reaction face to face than email to email. Even when we meet face to face, we can be deceived by the individual we are confronting. We think we know someone very well only to find out later that we didn't, or they might change in some critical way. My mother had a way of saying inciteful things in a very short sentence. For instance, as a young newly married, I asked her how she stood living with the same man for 25 years, and she replied, “What do you mean the SAME man, I just think I get to know him and he changes”. All individuals make changes that can be troublesome to their friends and family, but the basic character remains the same.

The difference between face to face and virtual is that we make more assumptions about the individual we are emailing. When we see a face or picture of the individual it helps, but it still isn't the same. Our imagination takes over and creates a life for the person in the picture. If truth be known the picture may not even be one of the person we are emailing. A beautiful women can be a picture for a man and we wouldn't know it. Therefore, the internet makes it much easier to fool each other and make a life for ourselves that isn't real. We make unreal assumptions about the person we are communicating with.

Even the sources of information about individuals is created and carefully choreographed on the web in such a way that it is almost impossible to tell truth from fiction. (Read my Tracking Article.)We have to weed through a lot of information to become familiar with a program or individual.

For instance, I mentioned to some friends that I was using Paypal. I got an earful as to how they had been selling on Ebay and had their Paypal accounts confiscated for some time because of some perceived thing they had done by Ebay. Several are still waiting for their accounts to be freed so that they can use the money they feel they have earned. I put Paypal reviews in Google, and read some from TrustPilot and Paypal earns a three for trust. There are 24 pages of places I could visit to try and build an accurate picture of Paypal for myself, and then it might not fit my situation.Therefore I will personally trust Paypal until it proves different.

Personally, I've belonged to Paypal almost since its conception. I had problems with purchases that they have helped me to correct.So far I have a good experience with them. Still I have never sold on Ebay and had them confiscate my account so that I had nothing to spend to build my business for six weeks.

Where am I going with this commentary? This website is the best I can do, and it is the best representation of myself I can put on the web, and my hope is that any person reading this would realize that if they met me face to face, they would see that my web site is as real a presentation as I can make it, and that if they join with me in working on the web, I will do my best to help them grow and that I am looking forward to them to reciprocate by helping me to learn more about discerning what is real from fiction on making money on the web.

SFI (strong future international) is very real for me as are several other programs I am affiliated with. As long as I am financially rewarded and continue to find them true to the policies they put forth, I will ignore the negatives from those who have had little or no experience with them.

My Experience with Traffic Exchanges Part 5.

This is a composite my activities with traffic Exchanges and may or may not be the last post about TE's. .

Working SFI (Strong Future International) and any other program on the internet requires consistency. Particularly when you are doing Traffic Exchanges. These can be time consuming, but since I can put two screens up at a time, I can click on them as I am working the SFI program or answering my emails. It does increase the time I spend on these, but it has averaged less than 5 minutes a day. 

Being consistent is logging in daily and completing whatever you have planned to do that day. SFI is a learning system for being consistent. Logging in and doing the daily items gets you started off right every day. It helps you to develop the habit of being consistent daily, weekly and monthly. By having to start over earning VP - (SFI's universal money point system) - every month, you develop the habit of assessing your progress monthly.

Setting goals and working toward them makes it possible to maintain continuity. You can see your growth in Total VP earned and badges you collect. These are motivating factors that help us keep our consistency.

When working Traffic Exchanges consistency is what makes it possible to log into the TE and see how many dollars you earned the day before. Earning daily is very motivating. I have been using every bit I earn to purchase more rental referrals - people who log in daily and click the web pages for .001 each.This seems like a small amount, but over time adds up. I am now up to $7 or 8 every day from their efforts.

One fun thing about TE's is the fascinating array of different ways to advertise or earn money in those you click every day to earn your portion for that day. When I have seen the ad several times, I can ignore it, so the time it takes is minimal. Since my income for spending on the web is very limited I resist many of those programs that look to good to be true and probably don't fulfill their promises.

Working together and helping one another will also improve our ability to turn SFI and other worthwhile programs into the money making machine that we are hoping for. Being an SFI member and learning the skills that we need to earn money on SFI teaches us how to branch out by learning the basics of internet profitability.

Branching out by advertising SFI wherever and when ever we can drastically improves our income by increasing our downline and sales ROI. Making purchases from TripleClicks, and advertising and selling the products of TripleClicks on other programs and sites helps us to grow consistently not only in SFI, but in working the internet.

Traffic Exchanges can be a significant boost to our free advertising. In the 2 and 1/2 months I have been working them I made several TripleClicks sales and have received two Personal recruits to my downline.

This is in edition to the money I earned. I joined Nerdbux.com by investing in their yearly $50.00 charge and have more than received it returned to me. Nerdbux has paid for itself and provided me with an advertising venue that has produced for SFI.

Please fill out my form to the right if you want to be part of my program. I am hoping to build a site where we all participate, study and learn together to earn what we need.

Experience with Traffic Exchanges Part 4

The two banners at the top explain what happens when you upgrade your membership and add money to the mix of services that you use with the traffic exchanges compared to not purchasing anything. I carefully chose these two programs for this experiment because they are very similar. On both programs, I clicked on all the ads available. It takes me about 10 more minutes a day to do both programs while working SFImg in another tab.The time spent depends on the number of ads I click and how much time I use recycling rented referrals.

Nerdbux.com became the one I upgraded because they seemed to give me more when I worked it free. I got more prizes doing the grid, and they have more advertisements to check. The total that I have spent on this program was $20 - 100 rented referrals, $10 - 50 rented referrals and $50.00 for the upgrade. $80.00 total since July 26th. when I joined the program. As you can see I have earned from the program $70.36 which is almost everything I have spent on Nerdbux. Since I average $4.00 per day from the rented referrals I will earn a profit in 4 more days.

I  also reinvest any money I earne by placing ads, and purchasing more rental referrals. I have gained 2 new people in my main SFImg.com program and one is a worker. I have also added direct referrals to my other program Neobux.com.

Neobux.com has made a profit from the beginning, because I haven't spent a dime on the program. My total here today is $4.97. I have reinvested this money in ads and purchasing rented referrals, I have gained two direct referrals into my Nerdbux traffic exchange, and 3 new TripleClicks.com members for SFImg.com the main money making program for me on the web. Neobux  increases about $.50 a day from clicking and doing the micro jobs available.

Thus, I consider these Traffic Exchanges to be worth the time and effort I have spent on them for the last 3 1/2 months. It is possible to do more than I have accomplished, but considering that I did all of the work on them while working SFImg.com. The increase in time over doing SFImg alone was about 5 minutes a day.
