1. Mom's passing ...

Happy Easter !

As many of you know, my mother passed away March 19.

Through 60 of her 87 years, Mom prepared us in so many ways to continue without her.

What a beautiful force and presence in our lives. We will miss her.

After cremation at her request, there will be a gathering at Smith Rock sometime this coming summer.

My own recent experience makes details of the Schiavo case much more personal ...

My apologies to all, especially Emily, for not getting back to you sooner.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2. IT Challenges

Most of this issue will be about IT [ International Trading ]

We have some challenges regarding IT - IT itself is having challenges. That is the "bad" news.

Good news is that we should always have such easy "problems" as opposed to what comes to us most often ... : )

IT is growing and getting stronger every day - it will be a force for good in our world

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3. Portal 1 Maturity

IT Portal 1 is set up to allow five $5 spends ... making it possible for anyone to get started with IT at very affordable cost ...

Of course YOUR cost is ZERO since either I or your benefactor has or will have paid your way in ... and we are taking a more aggressive approach than "just five dollars" ...

Our plan maxes out Portal 1 for you - that is, once your benefactor has spent $25 through Portal 1, that is the lifetime limit. No more can be spent to Portal 1 in your account - ever.

You receive $50 15 days later. After that, the lowest Portal to which you may spend is Portal 2.

Portal 2 minimum spend is $20.00 - maximum $180.00

At my last read, my understanding is that you can build up to a maximum of 10 $180 spends to Portal 2 each day of the month ...
... that is: A maximum of $1800 each day of the month ( if you choose to ), which returns to you $4500 each day of the following month, with your original $1800 coming back to you each day of the second month ... as you continue with whatever you have set as your own strategy.

Give it time. You can and will do some great things with IT

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

4. Portal 1 Maturity

Portal 1 maturity (when you receive your profit) is set at 15 days, however ...
- my P1 matured at 10 days
- Franklyn's P1 matured at 12 days
- Doris's P1 matured at 13 days ... but, has only so far returned $30 of the $50 due ...

That is good news, overall ... and I will tell you why, but first ...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

5. Benefactoring

Here is one challenge:
Franklyn's P1 maturity was paid to my IntGold account ... why ? Because I funded his P1

Even though Franklyn reset his IntGold number to his back office / profile as instructed, the way IT is set up payment goes oniy to the account # that made original spend.

The easy solution here is that each member will make his / her own spend(s) from his / her own IntGold account to max out P1

... but, that foils parts of our plan. For instance, could be you send someone $25 (actually, you will then have to send $25.50 so they have the full $25.00 to enter), and then they are embarrassed to say they need help or make a mistake and not want to admit it ... so they stand still - hope that does not happen, and maybe I "worry too much" ... " What ? Me worry ? "

If someone does not read ( get to know ) their new contact well enough, the person may take the $25 - thank you, and gone ... so you will have to take more care in deciding who you will benefactor.

I will work on this - needs to be a better way. For now I will just send you $50.00 when your P1 matures.
You would only receive $49.50 after IntGold fees from IT, but to make sure you have that $49.50 I will send you $50.00 - not a problem for me.

Last note here is that I want you to choose someone ( 3 of them ) who agree also to benefactor in STI and 7 Dollar Plan, to build mulitiple income streams ... otherwise, you are just spinning your wheels. Nice to help someone who needs to start earning easily, but if they are not going to help you build your downlines in those programs, then you are just doing a good deed and not growing the group.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

6. What Do I Think About IT Now ... ?

That is a very serious question asked of me by Sonia today. Most of you are aware that IT was offline for two days ... but what you might not yet know is why.

A virus affected the script in the forum - shut down forums using the samescript worldwide as a matter of fact. I understand some of you get nervous when you see profits ahead of you, then you see the site go down ... has happened to you so many times before, and most often it has meant all your hopes were dashed. Not to mention how much some of you need the benefits here ...

What you do not see "behind the curtain" as it were, is the huge job being done - not only was the site was back up in just over 48 hours, but the script was "debugged" and upgraded at the same time, along with carrying the extra security features built into the old script into the new script. That did not all happen without having the right people in place to do the job.

IT is going through massive growing pains right now - hiring many people to do what a few were doing as trading increases at a rapid pace. Consider our own tiny group - that almost a dozen people have signed up and are waiting for P1 maturity, and some of us have entered higher portals. Multiply that by thousands of tiny groups around the world, and realize that the increased amount of incoming funds require more traders; that increasing disbursements require more tellers ... there is a huge amount of activity going on behind the scenes, and will continue as IT is likely to continue fast growth for a while.

I know how and why you get the jitters when you see the site go down or some hiccup in the works. I want you to understand that you have been given a gift - an unexpected gift, a real suprise in your life. Take a deep breath, and remember that time is always a factor. What will become $50 in 30 days will become $125 30 days later, and will grow at the same rate as long as you faithfully manage it.

Stand up now and feel the smile on your face - the smile you are going to be carrying with you each day as your IT funds grow ... the smile other people are going to notice, and will eventually ask you about. Feel it now. Do not abuse the privilege of carrying that smile, do not let it make you feel self-important - just enjoy the feeling of that smile being there, and remember why it is there ... but also remember that what we are doing is one day at a time. It will come but it will take time, so take good care of yourself - think about your future and allow yourself to make plans, however "impossible" those plans might have seemed yesterday ... at least allow yourself to begin to see the possibilities of what you will be enabled to do. That will reinforce the smile you carry, as your confidence grows.

At the same time, as I have said before ... I look forward to collecting around 7500 more sunrises, but I have no way of knowing for sure what tomorrow will bring - a too fast bus too close as I step off a curb ? Be aware of your surroundings and keep everything in proper perspective - realize there are no guarantees in this life. As much and as well as you or I can plan, what will be will be. Do not count the $$ until it is in your hand. IT is one way - not the only way - we are earning. Go easy on yourself.

Those of us who were in Kiawana helped pave the way - part of what was learned there was that Kiawana had to evolve to grow, and so it has. It has become IT. The crew behind IT has much more experience than you might be thinking just now. Spend as much time in IT forum as you can, learn all you can, and you will see what I mean.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

7. Suspended Trading

Honestly, some of you may have had more time than I to read in forum enough to understand why trading is sometimes suspended. I do know that a raft of new tellers is being trained right now to handle increasing payouts. I would rather see the site down for a day or two, or trading suspended, while "reinforcements" are trained to the do the job properly, rather than overload current staff. To me it is the way business should be run - a matter of good planning instead of "doiing the best we can"

Green Light should be on within 24 to 48 hours - then we move forward again. I will be contacting you individually. Be well now

1. Has It Occurred To You ... ?
2. Did You Say "Plan" ... ?
3. "Avoid Getting Ripped Off"
4. Taking the "Easy Road"
5. Security
6. Why IT ?
7. Dispelling Confusion

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

1. Has It Occurred To You ... ?

I have said a number of times that there is not anything else like what we are
doing on the Internet right now ...

Is there ? I hope you will tell me if you find something that is truly like what we are doing. Please do, right away !

There are groups TRYING to do something LIKE what we are doing ... but not quite. For instance: A group under the banner "igiveawaymoney" says you can build your business by giving away $20 one time ... which "buys" you four members in your frontline. Great ! ... but where does the $20 come from ?

Answer: The $20 comes out of YOUR pocket.

As noble a project as theirs may be, it still comes down to the "same old thing" if you have to pay YOUR OWN $$$ to establish others in your downline - it is one step ahead of the usual "purchase your own position" and it does have its benefits ... but it still requires money from your pocket.

If you have not yet put it together, what WE are doing is unique in that the money you spend to benefactor your frontline 3 comes from earnings you are already making.

In other words: Your cost in our group is ZERO dollars. Now you get it !
_

Update:

Since I wrote the above paragraph last Saturday, International Traders has announced going corporate. There IS now one project in this world that more than equals what we are doing with growcash. I will be sharing more details with you about global humanitarian efforts IT is proposing which WILL benefactor people in need around the globe to take them out of debt in a very structured plan which includes counselling to help keep them out of debt. Some of you may want to get involved with IT OFFLINE and there is much waiting for you to do if you are interested in helping out. Now, you are probably thinking the usual - that you would be "helping out" by contributing your money ... since that is the usual way. Not in this case ! You would be helping out by being an EMPLOYEE of IT ... which could mean expense-paid travel and other compensation paid to you !

Right now I have no reason to think that I will not become an IT employee.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2. Did You Say "Plan" ... ?

Not only does it cost you nothing to get started with growcash ...

The group I mentioned in the last section ("igiveawaymoney") typifies "business as usual" ... at least as I read their site, in that once you have benefactored members into that group, after which you "hope" they will do the same ... it all comes back round to you are all going to have to pay more from your own pockets to then enter whatever is their money-making opportunity - Oops !

You see, there is another difference. Not only does growcash give you income from which to benefactor your frontline - it also provides you income not only to enter and maintain your position in our other opportunities, but also to branch out into anything else you want to do. For all of that, you still pay nothing from your own pocket.

Are you understanding yet the power of what you now have to offer to others !

Hope you are busy growing your contact list ! You sure are going to need it !
_

Waiting for Doris ... is the only one first line who is not yet funded in IT.
Soon as she has time to read her e-mail and get signed up, I will make the spends !

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3. "Avoid Getting Ripped Off"

Are you still accepting Cashier's Checks ? Time to stop.

Photocopier technology is now so good that anyone can create what can appear to you as a legitimate Cashier's Check - so good, in fact, that bank tellers cannot even decide whether the check is good.

Bogus Cashier Checks - Cashier Check Fraud - has now become so widespread that banks are going to have to take some action ...

... but in the meantime, you are going to have to refuse to accept Cashier's Checks from anyone you do not know

Avoid getting ripped off at: http://www.clarkhoward.com

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

4. Taking the "Easy Road"

Sooner or later, someone in our group is going to take the easy way ... asking someone to sign up rather than benefactoring them into STI or IT

If the person you want to benefactor into STI has visited the STI site, visited someone else's STI site sometime in the last 90 days, chances are better than good you will not see that person in your STI downline if you put signup responsibility on them. The cookie set from the other member's site will override your referral ID.

That said, you would be defeating yourself in other ways. Cost to benefactor someone into STI is TINY - $3.10 one time ... and we are providing that money to you. Still, you must use it wisely. The purpose of benefactoring someone in the first place is to turn the tables - responsibility is on you to give a gift which helps cement your new relationship. Assigning your benefactee responsibility to sign up does NOT extend our philosophy; instead it sets up a psychology within your newly forming relationship that will be an obstacle for you later.

You will receive no benefit from someone signing up to the wrong STI sponsor. Attempting to correct such a problem after the fact will be a frustration to you and an irritation to your benefactee - stunting the growth of your new relationship. Do not make such a mistake. Make sure you sign them up, paying for the position from your own IntGold account. Be sure to check the appropriate box so the site software will automatically send your new member a welcome e-mail.

If you are really short on time, there is a shortcut you can take - contact me and I will help you get it done. DO NOT just send someone $3 and tell them to sign up.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

5. Security

If you are using firefox with metropipe tunneler then you still may not be safe until you read and implement these security measures. This exact threat attacked many people on another popular forum (2% or 1.9% daily) If yoy recognize those percents then you know which forum. Here is what you need to do to be safe from threats like that. Add these security measures on top of using metropipe tunneler. Firefox is safer than IE. One reason is that it accepts activex controls under no circumstances.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

6. Why IT ?

Forex Trading is conducted globally every business day. Trillions of dollars are traded in a legally recognized marketplace around the world. The fact that U.S. Banks - including YOUR bank - are trading in this same marketplace is something which I personally believe is criminal. Your bank is paying you maybe one and a half percent on any savings you might have - that is, 1 1/2 % per year ! ... and I maintain your bank could probably be paying you 1 1/2 % per DAY on your savings and still be making a profit ! THAT is the part I believe is criminal. You are being ripped off by your bank !

By joining with IT, we are allowing our dollars to be traded to return a profit ... and IT is making a greater profit than what is returned to us, but remember that IT is also returning increased value to us REGARDLESS of any loss IT experiences in any trades. Yes, they COULD pay out more than they will, but they could also ask you to absorb any loss, which they will not do.

Yes, there probably will be some attempt to interfere by some "do-good" government agency trying to "protect" us - protect us from ourselves ? Well, IT is not some half-baked idea, my friends. What you are entering is a long-accepted, globally recognized trading system that will not stop. The planning which allows us to share in this wealth which has been previously available only to the rich and corporate continues to be carefully laid - a process which has been ongoing by IT principals for many months.

Having said that, I must repeat what I have said earlier. We are creating multiple income streams - not depending on any one source to grow our financial future. It is not wise policy to think that any one entity is the "end-all" for our personal security. It is up to us to guarantee our own success. Also, there is only one among you who I support in reinvesting 100% of IT returns to grow more. The reason I support her reinvesting 100% right now is because she is in great need of replacing her mother's house before the next hurricane season. For the rest of you, I encourage you to take a somewhat slower approach - closer to 50% of your IT profits reinvested.

If you want to take a more aggressive attitude, that is fine, but remember that you need to plan for your benefactoring expenses as you go.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

7. Dispelling Confusion

When your new contacts and referrals sign up to growcash board at:
http://growcash.proboards19.com/
... first thing they do is choose a username, same as you did.

Next, they will receive a welcome e-mail with a site generated password. After receiving that e-mail, next they will log in and set a new password of their own choosing, then fill out their profile.

Lately there has been a tiny confusion. You are all welcome to use a distinct username - I applaud it. If you look again at the profile page ( go there now please ) you will see that the username you chose when you registered for growcash is not changeable. There is a line between password and e-mail address in which you should put your REAL NAME ( first and last ) - that is different from your username. If your real name is Joy Sonnet and you want to use joysonnet as username - fine ... but on the line which says "Name:" you should enter Joy Sonnet just as you would sign a check or apply for employment.

In growcash "Welcome and Introduction" is stated:
"To fully qualify, you must:
1. Register - include your city, state, country
2. Include First and Last Name in profile
3. Complete all numbered boards below"

We have a couple members already benefactored to 7DP who are still not qualified because they have not entered their first and last name in profile. In fact, I have just realized how lax I have been on this point - only two of us are properly registered in forum ! When you have done this right, your real name will appear in left column of Members page. Again, I know you are concerned about privacy, but since your address and phone, etc. are not found anywhere in forum, no one will come knocking at your door ! Please correct this asap if your information is not complete. Thanks !

... and make sure your referrals are up on this information when they register ?

7. Apology and Reminder

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

1. Communication

I sincerely hope you are ready to begin receiving money. Since last week's update, it appears we have a communication problem - some of us. I am extending benefit of doubt - partly because there is obviously a problem with sendfree.com for some of you ... and whether the problem is with sendfree itself, or with your ISP, or ... ?
Bottom line is some of you cannot access the message from sendfree.

It was set up so everyone has to opt in twice - that is, at bottom of the first message from sendfree.com is a link to the actual series which you access the same way - by sending a blank e-mail (no subject) to:
aimto@getresponse.com

So, when I return from Portland, by Saturday morning I just know I will see a lot more names in the list at GetResponse, because ALL of you will have subscribed to that message. If you do not do it, then why am I sending you e-mails at all ? You have expressed an interest or desire to earn income. I have spent and continue to spend almost all of my time to do something I cannot say I have seen ANYONE ELSE do on the Internet ...

That is: Create a way for you to earn without paying anything at all.

It has begun.

If you do not understand that you are already at the top of something others have SAID they would do, but have never to my knowledge yet been able to follow through ... then it is time for you to read these messages more carefully. I set up a fund for myself to back up what I am doing now:

Setting up a fund for each of my frontline.

In other words, what I spent will be returned to me more than once. You do not have to spend anything of your own - just from what you receive.

Each of my frontline will fund IT for their frontline - from their profits - and so on ... and on, and on ... and in one of those levels - YOU.

Yes, you will be receiving a gift from your sponsor which you will not be asked to repay. Instead, you are asked only to responsibly manage and grow your own fund, use some of the profits from that fund to open a fund for your frontline three ( and later for anyone else you choose ), and to follow our simple step-by-step instructions as you receive them.

The ONLY way you will NOT profit from this is if for some reason you are not reading these messages - in which case you will not know what is expected of you ...
... or what is happening that you are missing out on.

Therefore, right now, before you do anything else, if you want to receive income, send a blank e-mail (no subject) to: aimto@getresponse.com

If, for some reason, that does not work for you, then tell me - just reply to this message or send me an e-mail at oneworld@idonate.com
... or IM me at Imvite ( I am 'growcash' ) or msn messenger ( I am 'jamonbo' ) or yahoo! messenger ( I am 'jamonbo' )

If you do not let me know you have a problem, there is nothing I can do to help you solve your problem. Talk to me.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

2. Can You Believe It ?

Last summer (2004) there was a period when I could hardly visit a website without a pop-up window appearing advertising a so-called "millionaire guru" e-book. That campaign centered on an e-book that would supposedly teach you or show you how to get a million hits to your website. The author's name I will not spell out, but his initials S D will give him away to some of you. Alexa rankings at the time showed his website ridiculously low - not only in regard to the claims made in the e-book, but also considering the number of affiliates advertising his book at the time ...

The e-book, priced at $97, was presented with refund guarantee, but refunds were not honoured ... nor was there any real customer service / support to be found.

I mention this episode to you only as a blatant example of Backwards Marketing.

What was GUARANTEED in this affair:
- A man who may or may not have been a millionaire (who cares?) would have had to sell around 11,000 e-books to make a million after expenses
- His credibility suffered during the campaign because his Alexa rankings could not back up claims made in the e-book = less sales
- The price $97 excluded a large part of market, which means his affiliates would have an extremely tough sell to make any profit
- His "good name" is now damaged by loss of credibility and by negative "word-of-mouth"
- Many who did not buy into the campaign were put off from doing business with S D for the nuisance of finding his pop-up at every turn of the page

Do you think it worthwhile to run one campaign which may bring you some dollars, but which closes the door to future income making potential ?

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

3. Plugging the Leak

The way our plan was set up previously, I was concerned that once you have benefactored your 3 into 7DP, if any one of them decides to sit still and not help you, then either you are stuck paying for the position again, or it will be lost to non-payment ... and that situation is not good for any of us.

With Sir Franklyn's urging, I thought about the benefits of International Traders, and then I thought some more. Starting with IT, it will take almost 2 months to generate income you can put to practical use ... but, would you rather pay from your pocket ? That is what we want to avoid, right ?

So here is the deal, put simply ( can I do that ? ) ... : )

I am an IT Trader. Next my frontline will follow instructions ( you will receive them today or Saturday ) to open your own IT account if you do not have one. Jeff may already have IT, but has not responded to my last e-mail or I have not found his response ... anyway, once you have set up your own IT account, then I will send you the next step ( I will either send you $$ to invest in Portal 1 or if you really need me to, I will do it for you ... but you need to learn how to do it yourself ).

You will be doing the exact same thing for your frontline. You will receive instructions regarding that too, and more. Point is, IT will generate the $$ you will use to then benefactor your 3 into 7DP. Once benefactored, since your 3 will ALSO have an income growing for them in IT, it will then be THEIR primary responsibility to make sure their position is paid for the second month IF they do not yet have their 3. You will be helping them to get their 3, and so will I ... but realize it could happen. In the rare case one of your 3 falls ill or their computer dies ... just in case, it will be your responsibility to make sure that position gets paid for if the 3 are not yet found ... and you will want to let me know if that is the case.

Once set, we do NOT want any 7DP position to be lost - there is simply no reason for that to happen.

Now, I want you to understand that what you will be doing with STI is a separate issue from ALL of what I just said.

I will talk about how we will proceed with STI in another section below. Make sure you read the sections between : )

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

4. Freeing the Genie

Is there something you want in your life ... ? Something you want to happen in your life ? Something you cannot quite make happen for some reason ... ?

In 1993 I wanted a change. I went back to school, but more important - I formed an image of what I wanted in my mind. I wanted to work in a certain part of town, for a company not too large, but established, and there was a certain function I wanted to perform for that company. I had no idea how I would find what I wanted ...

... but in while "sharpening" that image in my mind, I was getting A grades in my accounting classes. One day, about halfway through an interview with my Accounting Instructor, the phone rang - an interruption ... but the call was from one of his former students. She was calling at request of her boss, who was looking for someone to take over Accounts Receivable ... for a 50-year-old X-Ray Supply company with less than two dozen employees that was located in the exact part of town I wanted.

I was hired in the initial interview.

If there is something you want, form an image of it in your mind today, and every day from now on work to bring that image into clear focus. Sharpen that image until it becomes your reality.

If you are using firefox with metropipe tunneler then you still may not be safe until you read and implement these security measures. This exact threat attacked many people on another popular forum (2% or 1.9% daily) If you recognize those percents then you know which forum. Here is what you need to do to be safe from threats like that. Add these security measures on top of using metropipe tunneler. Firefox is safer than IE.

6. STI (Success Team International )

I have begun adding to your STI positions. Each of you receiving this message will receive one new STI position each month for the next three months. You will begin to see others in your STI downline.

As I said earlier, what will be happening for you in STI is completely separate from IT and 7 Dollar Plan. STI is a separate income stream that will be growing for you.

By "supercharging" STI in this way, soon you will receive a $10 payment from STI. I want you to use that $10 to add three postions ( you choose who ) to your STI line. Soon you will be receiving other payments from STI. By following my lead and reinvesting your first 3 $10 payments received from STI, you will find a respectable income growing for you as you receive more new positions which will also cycle and pay you ... because as you add those 3 positions in STI each month, what is generated to your upline will come back down the line to grow more for you ... !

At the same time, your downline will catch the same spirit and they will be adding to your downline. Are you ready for this ? I hope so.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

7. Apology and Reminder

I said this would be a short update. Sorry - I was wrong.

After midnight tonight I will be offline until 6 pm PST Friday.

Pearl has gmail invitations she is willing to share. Just ask me for one or contact "happy" in the member list.

2. Another truly stellar week

Wednesday I drove to Bend to purchase membership at Costco and check a few prices, planning ahead ... picked up some cleaning supplies and a new surge protector, then pushed the cart out to the car, where I discovered ... NO KEYS ! First time in over ten years I have lost my keys. No spare set with me, 15 miles from home and no one to call ... except a taxi. 40 minutes later a Redmond Taxi arrived. The driver kindly offered to drive me back to Bend at no extra charge, but once home, I could not find a spare set of keys. $40 included $5 tip for the driver ...

Thursday, Phillis was home, so I did not offer neighbor $20 to drive me to Bend. The key Phillis thought was for the car turned out not to be, so that trip was for nothing. We stopped by to get a set from Mom ...

Friday morning I retrieved the car, but did not buy the printer I want. Discovered that if I wait until March 21 I can save $85 buying it with a coupon. That is 12 7DP positions I can buy instead ... ya think a good idea to wait ? Actually, it is an HP Officejet 7310xi All-in-one if you are interested. Need a new printer/scanner/fax ? It will be $275 on the 21st ...

Yesterday I finally delivered groceries Mom wanted. She was so groggy she could not talk straight. I thought because of pain medication after minor surgery on one of her toes yesterday morning ... thought to ask the duty nurse how Mom was doing really, but decided since it was lunchtime for all and Phillis would be there to visit within two hours, I would wait. When Phillis came home, I found out Mom did not have her surgery. Instead, she had a "blackout" episode during the night. No one called either of us - not from Hospice or from the home ... major communication error !

That concludes my excuse for being a day late with this week's update ...

3. IntGold Verification

While Phillis was visiting with Mom yesterday afternoon, I was back in Bend at the nearest Kinko's printing my IntGold affidavit and making copies of documents. If you want to study office automation, spend some time at Kinko's ! Not a bad place to work if you have computer skills and like customer service.

The IntGold verification process MUST be completed NOT ONLY to withdraw from your account, but also to make ANY spends from your IntGold account ... as I found out when I more carefully reread the notice. You do get one (1) point for verifying your e-mail address, but that allows you to spend $0.00

You are allowed to spend up to:

- $250 per month with 2-6 points
- $2500 per month with 7-9 points
- $5000 per month with 10 points
- Unlimited with 11 or more points

To get points:
- 1 point for e-mail verification
- 1 point for mailing or faxing the signed affidavit
- 2 points for mailing or faxing a copy of a utility or bank statement
- 3 points for mailing or faxing a copy of home or cell phone bill
- 3 points for mailing or faxing a copy of driver's license
- 5 points for mailing or faxing copy of Social Security card or documents of
incorporation including EIN

Name and address on all documents MUST match name and address on IntGold account.

Most of you will do fine with at least two points - which you can achieve by verifying your e-mail address and sending in the signed affidavit.

If you are going to do that much though, it is just as easy to include some of the other documents at the same time. 7 points should be easily achievable IMO ... and that will allow you to transfer out of your account up to $2500.00 per month - plenty more than any of us needs right now.

Thanks to Homeland Security ... the bright side is that scamsters and lurkers will not be part of our activities. The down side is that we will lose a few folks who are overly concerned about privacy on the Internet. Now I have to work through the IntGold accounts I set up for others and help them all get verified ... : ) That is what I will be doing the next few days.

4. Autosurf Upgrade "Caps"

For those of you working "the plan" ...
In the last two weeks since I have been back online, CasHitz and SurfWize have moved to new dedicated servers and are running much better.

However, I have run into something different. Both those services, and also AutoSurf4Profit have turned off the internal upgrade function. I cannot upgrade past $90 at CasHitz, past $40 at SurfWize, and I am stopped at $80 at AS4P ... but wait a minute. Those are not the caps !

What I also learned is that they turned off the upgrade from earnings function "by mutual agreement" ... which means that whatever your earnings on the day they turned the switch is your limit right now. In other words, $90 is not a cap for CasHitz. If you were at $50 then you cannot reach $60 level unless you make a payment to CH.

The rub to me is that such an action is nowhere mentioned in TOS for any of the sites. It is the sort of action a webmaster can legally take under those "catchall phrases" ... "to ensure the longevity of the service" and so on. The next test will be when my earnings reach payout level - whether I will actually get paid. There is a slight difference of opinion among the webmasters. Some are pointing out that those of us who have stayed with the services through downtime and change of servers, slow running and other problems, have continued to promote the sites and add new members, for which we are due to be paid for our efforts. There is a different opinion also ... so I will let you know who pays and who does not. I will reach payout at AS4P within the week ... a little over a month to reach payout at CasHitz.

One more tidbit while I am on the subject: Another careful read of CasHitz and SurfWize TOS leaves me wondering. Paul has stated clearly that CasHitz is a real and solid business backed by advertising, so funding for payouts is real - not based on a pyramid scheme like CasHits was [ notice the difference in spelling those of you not familiar with the difference between CasHitZ and CasHitS ] ... yet wording of TOS is somewhat vague and too similar to CasHits TOS in which monies for payouts are at least to a degree dependent on member upgrades. Anyone working "the plan" should be very careful about investing any money out-of-pocket please.

5. Mozilla Counterbalance

My new system is running Mozilla. I finally registered Windows yesterday, but still have not opened Outlook Express ... content to keep mail web-based for now. In two weeks running, I have already sent six error reports, including one device driver error. Mozilla is not trouble free, but is it FireFox, or ... ?

Reports indicate only 6% of Internet users are running Mozilla as an alternative to Internet Explorer. The advantage for the "few of us" is that hackers do not seem to feel their time is well spent targeting such a small percentage of users. Whether Mozilla is free of IE vulnerabilities, I cannot really say ... but I can report that too many websites are not Mozilla compatible. I am not sure whether it is lack of RAM or compatibility issues which generate so many errors, including pages timed out or domains "not found" ... will know better soon as I step up to 512 KB RAM next week.

Microsoft will soon offer something to compete since Mozilla is gaining popularity so rapidly now ... but I hear it will not be free. Surprised ? I have to tell you, if you want to use Mozilla, the way I am reading some of the "errors" ... and particularly the messages and "random pages" associated with reading hotmail - msn is attempting to do what it can to discourage use of FireFox and other Mozilla software

6. Getting Our System Rolling

Soon as my IntGold is verified so I can spend, I will begin adding to your STI positions, giving you at least on new personal position each month for the next three months, plus adding others to your downline. My purpose is to generate some dollars from STI that you can then use to add 3 of your own each month to your downline matrix, which will generate more dollars for you ... so by all of us adding new positions to STI matrix through the next 3 months we are going to generate some income from your top spots ... and that will be repeated over and over as your later spots mature.

A more important element of our strategy as it is developing is International Traders, which I will be talking about with you one-on-one, so you can do the same with your personal referrals. I have communicated with the principals behind IT for over a year and what they have to offer is excellent. I think you will be pleased when you come to understand our new plan which will truly allow you to grow cash without ANY out-of-pocket. The fund I will set up for you will generate dollars that you can use to set up a fund in the exact same way for your frontline, and teach them how to do the same for their frontline. You will soon be receiving enough so that you will have your 7DP and STI expenses covered. Your income will be growing, and you will have paid nothing for it ... except the time and patience you have devoted waiting for me to spell it out.

7. About Next Week's Update

Next Thursday and Friday I will be in Portland for minor surgery - more minor than last time ! For that reason I will send a short update on Wednesday.

In the meantime, one more reminder to make sure you have a good working e-mail address connected to your STI profile. Would be a shame if you did not know what is happening there ... and if you are still using hugemail.com it would be good of you to sign up at http://www.idonate.com and enter referral as "oneworld" Soon as I have more gmail invitations, I will send you one - first request first served.
