How to Pick up Some Christmas Cash

It actually may be to late for most of the people that read this blog to establish a site, build traffic and reap the benefit of some extra spending money before Christmas unless you start an online business that can help local merchants advertise.  A couple of things I did here recently are paying off quite nice right here before Christmas and the other will make next Christmas even that much more merrier.

Things that I have started in the last month that are pauing off:

• Set up a service to help Car Dealers Advertise on Craigslist
• Helping a New Jersey Car Lot get bad credit leads
• Helping a Cincinnati Used Car Dealer increase their traffic, and the next Christmas project
• Help car buyers that need Bad Credit Car Loans in Tulsa

My question to you folks chasing downlines and joining every get rich quick scam online what are you doing to help make your Christmas even more Merrier?

Stop Worring About Downlines - Set your own destiny

For those that have been members of different programs such as the Downline integrity brigade there is a lot that can be learned from the fiasco. There is a lot more money to be made in doing your own thing versus follow a silly member program.

For instance you can find reliable clients that will pay decent money for helping them promote their business. For example a Route 44 used car lot it leveraging the power of blogging to attract new customers and a Cincinnati used car dealer is doing the same thing.

It is companies like this that need people like you to help them promote their business.  Here are some things you can do to help you be prepared to help these types of clients.  This list is automotive related just substitute your chosen niche with automotive.

• Learn Automotive SEO
• Learn to set up a blog
• Learn to do keyword research
• Look for niches like Jacksonville buy here pay here
• Monetize your SEO efforts

These are just a start of things you can do to get out of the trap of worring about downlines.

Why do people chase downlines?

The best way to succeed in anything you do is work damn hard and the way MLM programs pitch to recruit people set them up for failure at the onset.  I have participated in these types of programs myself in the past worked damn hard only to have parasitic uplines to try to take advantage of situations.

It caused me to entrench myself in finding other ways to make money online.  I earn my entire living online now, but it is all through my own efforts.  I mostly help business like Tulsa used car lots find new customers.  It works for me.

It allows me to set my own destiny and decide what endeavors I wish to pursue.  Nope I do not have a downline that is feeding me money every month.  If that concept were the way to go the top level MLM'ers would not continually chase new blood.  They have to work damn hard as well.

Are they really going to protect the members

In comments in the previous post what I believe to be one of the program owners in the Downline Integrity Brigade made the following comment:

TeckyHead:

The suggestion that DIB is responsible for protecting members and acting on their behalf when a program goes pear shaped is incorrect. I'm sure the DIB participants would inform members of suspect programs...but as a courtesy rather than a responsibility.

This proves the point that the only concern of the Downline Integrity Brigade is to protect their own programs and not really take care of the members.

Program owners and uplines have a responsibility to those they recommend programs to. If they do not stand up for the people they say they are protecting, what benefit is it for the members to blindly follow the recommendations of the program owners?

The whole premise of Downline Integrity Brigade not being responsible to the members as being preached by the commenter from Victoria, Australia should prove the point that they do not really care about the members just their own programs and their own promotional efforts.

Downline Builders place the program owners at the top of the pyramid and is a perverse marketing scheme that claims to protect members and ,as shown by TeckyHead's comments, does not wish to really protect their members by coming forward when a program bust.

I believe TeckyHead is Gary Smith from WhirlWind Traffic, I may be wrong. The IP address is from his area and he has been the only one to try and publicly stand up with ill conceived claims.

Maybe TeckyHead should go back and keep working on ".... being comfortably poor again."

Voice2Page - NetAudioAds - PayPerPlay and the Downline Integrity Brigade Sitting on it's hands

The voice2page affiliate program was launched through various downline builders inside of the but one of the biggest pushes was from the largest program inside of the Downline Integrity Brigade.

While they scream their war cries of protecting the members they have yet to come forward and do the right thing in helping people recover money wasted in voice2page on their recommendation.

The pitch was simple. Sign up for voice2page and when NetAudioAds is launched we would be the leading affiliate base to profit from ad plays. Since the announcement of PayPerPlay not a single individual from the Downline Integrity Brigade camp has come forward to put pressure on voice2page to do the right thing by it's affiliates.

Instead they have tucked their head in the sand and ignored the members despite their resilience to protect the members. The recent email sent by Voice2Page to all of the affiliates claiming the Voice2Page affiliate program a bust and that refunds would be issued to those that requesting them was prompted by pressure from me.

However there does seem to be members who have requested them that have not received refunds and the Downline Integrity Brigade has yet to step forward to assist the members it is supposed to protect.

It appears that the whole concept appears to be lip service designed to keep the crabs in the pot with no real intention of helping members unless it benefits them.

A retraction is in order

I am retracting the statement about suing the Australian mentioned below who was incorrectly identified as European.

With that being said I have never said that Mr Gerhing is the owner or creator of the Downline Integrity Brigade. I have referred to him as the leader. He has dedicated special resources for them to use in his forum.

This blog would of never been created and the issue would have been clearly been dropped by me and life would of moved on. But I quote "If I have to see Mr. Rushings propellor of lies one more time I'm going to be sick." Until then it had only been opinion he made it personal first.

Now the cheerleaders continue to bash me in support of his behavior. Even after I offer reconciliation of sorts to move on and now Mr Smith and Mr Loucks keep hammering away.

Since Mr Smith wishes to continue to refer to me as a liar he too will receive notice of service soon.

Defamation and Libel from the Proponets of the Downline Integrity Brigade

The Downline Integrity Brigade cheer leaders have not liked the contents of this blog. They started their campaign using terms like crooks and thieves at the onset. Although I do not have the supporting content to document it is an accepted fact. I am sure it can be compelled to be produced if need be.

Law.com's definition of Libel states (not the entire definition):

libel
1) n. to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others.

I have been accused of issuing lies here, by Don Locuks and Gary Smith with the intent to malice me. They say the information you find here is deceptive and full of lies. I have proffered to both to show me where I have lied and I will gladly retract it or completely remove the content and neither has responded.

Gary is fortunate that he is in (Europe) Australia and to pursue a libel and defamation claim against him may be arduous, however Don Loucks only lives a few hours from me and unless his libelous comments are retracted or proof offered where I have lied I will peruse all available remedies available to me through the courts.

If Mr Gerhing wishes to pursue me for the comments made here he is entitled to do so. But let me remind you that opinion when expressed as such is not libel per se and truth is an absolute defense to a libel claim.

I have business to attend to in Fayetteville, NC after the first of the year and have already made contact with an attorney in that area to enforce my claim. A retraction is in order.
