Is JSS-Tripler a Ponzi Scheme?

I don't believe that it is.  That's why I've gotten involved with it.  If it turns out that I'm wrong, well then I'll have to eat some crow.  So what?  In my life, what I have found is that you'll never get on base if you're too afraid to pick up the bat.  You have to take a lot of swings to get a hit in business - whatever kind of business!  In other words, you have to try a lot of things and even fail... a lot. 

You also need to be open to receiving income from more than one area. That's vital. Personally, I earn money in lots of ways - such as my job, stocks, various online sales (which don't pay much) and - of course - our Team OceanSwell programs: TrafficWave and Global NPN. TrafficWave and Global NPN are excellent!

But right now, the 'big thing' out there are the no-sponsoring, passive dividend, share programs. JSS-Tripler is the one I've chosen. But there's also the very popular Ricochet Riches and the new (copy-cat, me-too program) JSS2. Ponzi schemes exist, that's true, and the Internet is LOADED with scams and 'money-making' programs that go bust overnight. But I'm not seeing it with JSS-Tripler. Like I said, if I'm proven wrong, then I'll be proven wrong. I've lost money before... especially in stocks!

But I like the ideas that underpin this thing. It's a complex arrangement, though the principle behind JSS-Tripler is simple enough:

* Add your money

* Get paid 2% per day on that money for the next 75 days


How to Earn more:

1: Add more money

2: Reinvest your daily earnings


How to Earn even more:

Upgrade in the parent program JustBeenPaid:  costs $15 for 3 month subscription.

Every 4 JSS-Tripler positions that mature after 75 days will generate a Free JSS matrix position that (when cycled) earns you $60.  Half of your Free JSS matrix positions go into your account, the other half help fill other members.  There are other aspects of JustBeenPaid that can earn you even more such as 'Booster' and 'Warp', but these you can investigate yourself once you have established your membership.  There's also a 're-start' thing they do once or twice a year (which doesn't hurt you).  My suggestion is to just concentrate 100% upon JSS-Tripler and let the system that they've designed look after these other aspects.  Otherwise, you'll get overwhelmed with it all.  That's what happened to me at first!

Do it right and your 'work' will be less than 10 minutes a day and you can relax.

One thing that you will hear people talking about is how hard this program is to understand and to make money with.  That is only because they are in a hurry and don't take the time to digest this thing, listen to the webinars, watch the videos, etc..  Like I said, it's really not that complicated if you just concentrate on the JSS-Tripler aspect.

Internet Marketing doesn't work!

Actually, it does.  Unfortunately, 19 out of 20 people will not, cannot and won't learn and do what is required to succeed at online business.  That is why, for many out there, the best idea is to get a job!  There is a new job-search website that looks kind of interesting because it's world-wide.

It's called Jooble. (new window)

If a job is what you really need, then maybe you'll find it there.  Best of luck!

Get response with an autoresponder

"What do I need an autoresponder for?"  That's a question that you will face over and over again as a TrafficWave affiliate.  Of course, TrafficWave is an MLM business with a digital product.  But that product just happens to be what every Internet Marketing pro uses on a daily basis.  In other words, if someone asks, "Why do I need an autoresponder?", you should answer with a question of your own:  "Are you truly serious about online business?"

If you have a website, blog or online ad without a capture form (or at least a link to one), then you are throwing all your work and money right down the drain.  You work so hard to get traffic to your sites, but if you can't (or won't) capture the email addresses of those visitors, how will you ever market to them again? Your autoresponder should be the foundation of everything that you do with online business.

As far as which autoresponder to use, my choice is obviously TrafficWave - and that's for three reasons:

1)  The affiliate plan blows everyone else away.
2)  Flat-Rate pricing for endless campaigns.
3)  The software works great!

Whether or not you are interested in the Team co-op that I talk about on this blog, and whether or not you care about any other program or tool that I have discussed or recommened in the past, TrafficWave is just a no-brainer.  Because if you don't think you need an autoresponder in this industry, then I just don't believe that you're truly serious.

TrafficWave - OceanSwell TEAM Update (#72)

I am convinced that success in online affiliate marketing generally comes when you learn to do one thing well - just one thing. That guy in the picture to the left is world-famous for building things out of toothpicks. He just chose one thing and got extremely good at it.  Now, building things out of toothpicks earns him continuing fame & fortune! You also need to pick one key aspect of Internet Marketing and get really, really good at it - be it list-building, setting up websites, driving traffic, creating your own products and services or whatever. 

What makes this simple notion so powerful is that, if you are really good at something (I mean, you TRULY excel at it), then it should become the cornerstone to your success.  That's how you get paid what you're truly worth.  For example, if creativity is your strongest area but you aren't doing anything creative, then it may explain why you're 'stuck' or failing to enjoy real success. You have to take a personal inventory, decide what interests you and (most important of all), what you really excel at.  Then simply develop your skills in this area to a high level. Thus, you're creating value within your own life and, consequently, you're more valuable to others... and they will pay you for that value.

Most people that are new to online business suffer from a lack of confidence, but that's usually the result of disorganized thinking and majoring in minors.  What do I mean by 'majoring in minors'?  I mean spending hours of time every day reading emails, checking Facebook, checking Twitter or blasting tweets, following forum threads, Skyping, going back to the emails, etc.  It feels like you're working but you're not being productive. See, you've got to get better at something that actually produces results.  It doesn't much matter what it is, but becoming an expert at just one aspect of Internet Marketing can create a magical spark in your business! 

It is common knowledge that 95% of Internet Marketers earn no money for all their hard work.  Another 3% earns a little and the last 2% actually succeed in earning a real living online.  What does the 2% know that you don't know?  Absolutely nothing, because all of the knowledge that you will ever need is readily available out there.  The difference is that they use their time far more productively than you do and they have become very, very good at (at least) one particular aspect of this industry.  I would ask every single member of Team OceanSwell to give this some serious thought.

Lastly, I am very grateful to those who are doing their part with the continuing Team Ad marketing.  Like everyone else, I wish that things worked 'faster' and more consistently, but they work as fast as they work and that's just reality.  That said, the $40.00 cash bonus goes to Team Member Jennifer Reed (jenreed3). Jennifer has been with us a long time and has always done more than her share. So, congratulations Jennifer. Just shoot me an email with your PayPal or AlertPay address and I will get your bonus out to you right away!

TrafficWave - OceanSwell TEAM Update (#71)

I just want everyone to know that I have updated the rotating URL's again for both TrafficWave and Global NPN.  To be perfectly honest with you, we've had a lot of drops.  Yes, you wish that people wouldn't join affiliate programs and then drop like flies within 90 days (or less).  But that's just reality.  They do, and they will.  That's because everyone's chasing that feather in the wind, and serious players are few and far between.  For those of you who are in this for the long-term (as in forever), it just means that your affiliate link is more likely to come up in the rotating system that we use with Team OceanSwell.

With any kind of MLM-style affiliate program, it's really pretty simple - if everybody does it, everybody gets rich.  But everybody won't do it.  Most simply can't.  That is why it is my belief that the best chance you will ever have for building an affiliate downline is by having a plan and a system that others can duplicate without much 'thinking'.  If there's a better system out there than what our team is using, I haven't seen it.  Believe me, I've seen it all... and I've joined many of them.  But one thing people tell me a lot is that 'I don't have time to promote'.  Well, don't tell it to me.  In my job, I work seven (yes, 7) days a week.  So I don't want to hear it.  We ALL work hard and nobody has enough time.

Anyway, we still have many active team members who are working their butts off every month.  This month's $40.00 team member, promotion bonus goes out to Leo Watson (hardjudge).  Leo is a long-time team member who actually uses TrafficWave in his online business activities.  Leo, just send me your AlertPay or PayPal address and I'll get that $40.00 bonus to you pronto!

What the #1 key to success with affiliate marketing?

In my opinion, rule number one is to have a strategy... and stick to it.  I also happen to trade stocks on my days off, and I can tell you for certain that only fools approach the stock market without a strategy in mind.  When people aren't earning any, or enough, money online (or in the stock market), they want to know, "What am I doing wrong?"  And they want someone to tell them what they're doing wrong.

I know.  I've BEEN there.

The very first thing to remember is what you're doing right.  Just the mere act of getting into Internet marketing is a smart move.  Online business has only been around for about 15 years, and so we're really only at the beginning.  The fact that you've taken some action is something to be proud of and build upon!  It means you're in the game.  Still... you must have a strategy (i.e. a grand plan) and commit to it.   When I first started out online (and it wasn't that long ago!), I didn't know what I was doing.  And it didn't take long to become overwhelmed and frustrated by all of the things that I felt like I 'had to be doing' every day.  Though I thought I did, I didn't really have an online business.  All I had was a mountain of busy work that I thought that somehow, some way, would eventually start earning me money.  Down here in Texas, we say, "You're doin' a lot of choppin', but no chips are flyin'."

This is where most people will burn out, throw up their hands and quit - especially if there's been a lot of money spent in the process.  What I realized is that I needed some kind of organized plan or system for recruiting and retention (rentention actually being more important).  That's when I created a team-build promotion system for the TrafficWave affiliate plan.  It's still working today and has spun off numerous 'sub-teams' that are creating their own plans and systems.  The organized plan of Team OceanSwell is what finally created success for me online.  Suddenly, all of the things that I had been trying so hard to do - i.e. list-building, branding, advertising in TE's, etc. - suddently started working.  It was like night and day!

My point is simply this:  You'll never earn any kind of significant full or part-time income online unless you have a unique strategy and stay with it.  If you are a Team OceanSwell member for the purpose of promoting affiliate links for TrafficWave (and now Global NPN), that's excellent.  It's the strategy that I developed and many are using.  But guess what?  You need your own.  I have found that real success online comes from new ideas.  In fact, all you really need is ONE fresh idea, and an organized plan that's based upon it.  That requires creative thinking.  If you need help with creative thinking, then seek it out and make a study of it.

The book below is one that I've read recently, and recommend as a means to stir the creative juices (but there are many others like it).  If you've read this far, please think carefully about what I've said.  Because I've just given you the key to the success that I've had online...

TrafficWave - OceanSwell TEAM Update (#70)

Is online MLM an investment?  Of course it is!  Take Global NPN for example.  Let's say (for example) that you earn $200.00 a month with your recurring affiliate sales.  That is $2,400 annually - pre-tax, of course.  To earn $2,400 annually from a conservative investment of savings - let's just say 5% - you would need to have accumulated almost $50,000 in cash. 

Think about that.

$200 a month in online income is roughly the same as having $50,000 invested in treasury bills.  THAT'S why online business is worth the time and effort.  You're creating your own pension!  To think of it another way... how long would it take you to save up $50,000 to invest?  Would it take a long time?  For most people, the answer is yes!  That's why it's so silly to complain about 'how long' it takes to create dependable, online cash flows.  You'll either do it or you won't.  But 'how long' it takes is relative to 'how long' it would take you to amass a cash fortune that could throw off interest income that you could live on.  At least, this is how I tend to look at it.  For example, I can earn close to $30.00 an hour in my work (depending on a number of factors).  My wife works too, and so we do alright.  In fact, we just moved into a bigger house.  But I've calculated that my online business activities pay around $3.00 and hour - that's right, about 1/10th of what I earn at my regular job.  So why do it, right?  Don't you ever ask yourself that question:  "Why the hell am I still doing this?"

It's because of the AWESOME long-term earning potential.  Remember, once your online cash-flows are up and running, they tend to stay there and grow!  What if you earned $1,000 a month online?  Again, that's the rough equivalent of having almost 1/4 MILLION ($250,000) invested in treasury bills.  Are you starting to see the light?

So my point today is to remind you of why you're in this business and the incredible power that the affiliate programs of both TrafficWave and Global NPN possess.  And despite anything you've heard or read, Team OceanSwell is here to stay and we are simply going to continue to function the way we've always functioned.  I may tweek the letters in the core AR series now and then (as well as our ads), but you are in the Rotator (these days, a revolving URL) so long as you are a member.  And that's a good investment in your future.  Never, never forget that!

As for February's $40.00 bonus recipient, that award goes out to Ms. Maria Melas (TW username 'Houstongreek').  Maria has been a Team Member for over a year and has been promoting very aggressively lately.  Congratulations, Maria!
