Gurumarketing

So how many times have you seen someone offer you a
free trial of something or other, but to get started
you need to provide a credit card number, or use your
Paypal account to sign up.

A lot of services or products even ask that you pay
ONLY $1 to start any sort of trial and act as if you
are getting an incredible value.

But what they are really doing is getting your credit
card number or PayPal account locked into their auto
re-billing feature and hiding behind their real motive
simply by telling you that it is for your convenience.

It is a well known fact that many people who offer
products or services are making more money due simply
to people forgetting to cancel these auto re-bills.

Now I'm not in any way speaking for all marketers.
Many do in fact provide great value and are trying to
make things easier, but it is also an overly abused
marketing tactic to make the product or service owner
a lot of extra recurring income.

You see a lot of unethical marketers know that most
of the time you will forget about the trial and a few
months later you will finally notice that you have been
charged XX dollars every month. Guess who makes a pile
of money that way. That's not cool man.

So it is something to watch out for when signing up
to any fr.ee trials of anything.

On a total flip side, here's an example of a guy who
has an insanely good free trial offer, but you don't
have to give your credit card or Paypal account up
front. It's just a free trial, because he believe it
works and is not hiding behind anything!

It's a no obligations 90 Day Free Trial of what's
called the Smart Subscriber marketing system. His name
is Ian and he's been an online marketer for over a
decade and claims he will make you money through
affi.liate comm.issions just to prove his service is
worth paying for!

With no credit cards or Paypal account stuff upfront,
I'd say that's a pretty rock solid and safe free trial.

BanziBux

Now, I know over the last week or so, I have been posting articles and links to different sites where a blogger can make some extra money for advertising. I have discovered my favorite. This is a PTC program called BanziBux. There is a Banner below this post that will take you to the main site. There are three reasons why this is my favorite PTC program.

First, you can upgrade the membership plan from standard to premier, executive, and finally CEO without ever paying a dime. This is accomplished by the total number of clicks that you have made on the site. By setting the site up this way, it reqards the most active members.

Second, Referral rentals are only .20 for standard members. Some sites that I have seen can go as high as 1.00 per rental per month. this will allow you to make money faster.
Finally, the third reason is actually a funny story. I had just joined the site about two weeks ago when I received a message that the owner was looking for someone to take over for him. He was going to give the site away for free, nada, nothing! I contacted him and over the course of several days, I expressed my interest in taking over for him. After about a week of conversations, he confided in me that he actually had changed his mind and did not want to dive up the site right now. Needless to say, I was a bit upset. He understood, and in return for the trouble I was put through, He gave me a free CEO upgrade for one year. Yippy! I am very happy about this as it gives me more opportunity to earn some much needed cash. So here I am....begging, pleading, bribing if necessary. Take a look at the site, its free to join and out may even make some money out of the deal. here is a breakdown of the levels and payouts. Don't let the numbers fool you, it is possible to make some much needed advertising dollars from this site.

Privilege	Standard	Premium	Executive	CEO
Pay per click	$0.0025	$0.0075	$0.015	$0.02

PTC Programs

In the past, I was not very fond of Pay-to-Click programs, but all of that has changed. Granted, you may only get a penny or so per click, but that is with you doing all of the work. The real income comes from referrals. I know what you are going to say....yay! I get a half penny from what my referrals click on, but that is a half penny per referral, per ad. That can add up quickly. Here is good article that can explain it in greater detail

Author: Emman Lijesta

Below is the process on how to solve manually your potential daily income on any Paid-to-Click (PTC) programs or you can use this PTC Calculator tool to automatically compute your online treasures from any Paid-to-Click (PTC) programs.

For those of you who are not yet familiar with Paid-to-Click (PTC) program this is the simplest, popular and proven money making system on the Internet. To earn income in this program all you have to do is click on the advertisers’ ad and view their website within 30 seconds after that you get paid. This program also has a direct referral bonus wherein every time your direct referral clicks on the ad you will earn.

Your earning potential will depend on the number of paid-to-click programs you signed-up, number of ads to click, how wide is your direct referrals, earnings per personal click and referral earnings per click.

This is how it is done manually. Let us as say you only have one (1) paid-to-click (PTC) program which has ten (10) ads for you to click. Each personal click you will get $0.01 and $0.01 for referral clicks. You also have twenty (20) direct referrals because you mange to invite your friends, neighbors and relatives to do the same. Let us assume that they are star clickers and never miss to click ads every day. Your daily income potential would be…

Personal Earnings = 1 PTC x 10 Ads x $0.01 Personal Click = $0.10
Referral Earnings = 1 PTC x 10 Ads x 20 Direct Referrals x $0.01 Referral Click = $2.00
Daily Total Earnings = Personal Earnings + Referral Earings = $2.10

The above earning potential is definitely small because it only involves one (1) Paid-to-Click (PTC) program with only twenty (20) direct referrals. What if you are a hard worker and can manage to diversify and participate on twenty (20) Paid-to-Click (PTC) programs and were able to invite 100 direct referrals for each Paid-to-Click (PTC) programs. Again using the same formula above your daily income potential would be…

Personal Earnings = 20 PTC x 10 Ads x $0.01 Personal Click = $2.00
Referral Earnings = 20 PTC x 10 Ads x 100 Direct Referrals x $0.01 Referral Clicks = $200
Daily Total Earings = Personal Earnings + Referral Earnings = $202.00

As you have observed the earning potential now is a lot bigger. Based from the results we can conclude that Paid-to-Click (PTC) program’s earning potential is largely dependent on the number of PTC programs you participate and the number of direct referrals you introduce.

To automatically compute your earning potential on any Paid-to-Click (PTC) you can use this PTC Calculator.
