| Paid Autosurfs Truth vs Myth | |

| What about all the different kinds of autosurfs? Is any one better than another as far as getting paid? Autosurfs pay anywhere from 1% to 300% (which I think is crazy) and you can earn by surfing anywhere from 100 sites per day down to 6. But..what bothers me is that a lot of the owners don't do the math and consider the length of time surfing, the second increments, and the amount of cash paid in as opposed to what they promise to pay out. All of this has to be thought out. It all adds up. And if it's not done correctly it can add up to one thing..failure. There has to be a lot of mathematical equating going on when you go into this business. It's not just a set and forget type of thing...no matter how automated the script is. You still have to calculate the time, the days, the money in and money out and then if you've done it all right, you'll be ok provided that everyone in the program pays for upgrades. The problem is that many of the owners have thought..Oh ok..so and so was good to me so I'll give them a free membership upgrade, and I owe so and so a favor so I'll upgrade them. And before they know it, these people they gave upgrades for free are finding out that they have "money" in their accounts and they want it. NOW. And here the owner is..He's got 15 members, two are paying him $5 a month and the rest are free, or they were upgraded for free...and all of them are wanting to be paid money they didn't pay in. And most of them have just signed up and went on to something else and forgot all about it. Promises were made and now they have to be broken. So now what? Do you throw away the script and go draw money out of the bank to pay everyone? Well that would be the nice thing to do, but most of us can't do that. So we end up making another promise..stay with me and I will help you get the money I owe you. YEAH RIGHT. Let's be reasonable for just a minute, shall we? There's no need to stop using autosurfs and badger these poor folks about their mistake. Autosurfs are still a good advertising resource for people to use, and some will pay on time because they understood the risk and provided ahead of time for it. Let's just get on the right track to begin with. #1. Don't spend more than you can afford to lose. #2. Realize that this is advertising that you're paying for. You're getting your money's worth just to be able to advertise your business sites and have an endless supply of prospective customers seeing them on a daily basis. #3. Remember that the point of an autosurf is to help you earn more money by putting your site in the face of everyone who joins the program. Anything you earn by surfing is just a convenience and can help you to buy MORE advertising. It's not a way to earn a living. #4. Also know that when you're allowed to minimize the browser, you're not seeing the other person's site and they're probably not looking at yours either, but then again..you're paying for that too. With any online business you should spend at least six months with one company before you try another one, but this is one case I wouldn't recommend it. With autosurf programs I recommend spending about two weeks with each one (not one at a time..but several) and if it's consistent and they're not always playing around and changing things in such a way that it threatens your feelings of security..then you should stay with them, if not..just cancel your account and move on. Here's one thing to remember. If you don't feel right about it, or it doesn't keep you interested, then it's probably not worth staying with. But if you see a consistent steady growth in the program (and in your traffic and pocketbook)and the admins are helpful and willing to work with you, then by all means, keep them on your favorites list. Just don't get your expectations up too high. Things go wrong..people get sick..stuff happens..nobody is perfect. Don't think of any program online as your meat and potatoes until you're earning at least $1000 a month steady income over time. |
