Hot of the press! Urgent feedback revealed
Today's Adventure in the Biz opp Jungle:
'In which Charlie's brilliant army of keen eyed
seekers does all the hard work for him, with
fresh feedback on surveys, bandwagon raiding,
and mystery shopping.'
Hi,
I have to say, it's good to have you here.
(Charlie wipes a tear from his eye.)
Because you make all this happen!
I'm not saying I'm lazy, but this newsletter couldn't
possibly work without my army of seekers
bringing me news, tips, feedback, warnings and
horror stories.
Otherwise I'd have to try out EVERYTHING
myself.
I'd have to spend every minute of every day in
front of six trading screens, betting on five horse
races, writing 20 surveys, juggling a dozen MLMs,
managing an eBay shop, an Amazon account, a
property portfolio and running my own cleaning
business...
Never mind my own biz opp projects. Which, as
you know, involve an e-letter consultancy, my
Inbox Tycoon product, my newsletter and
website, and my various copywriting, article
marketing, book selling and classified ad
projects.
PHEW!
This multiple income stream malarkey... it does
work, but it takes a bit of grit and patience. It's
hardly the instant mega-wealth multimillion pound
cash explosion you expect when you first get into
biz opps, is it?
Like I always say:
"WHERE'S MY GOLDEN YACHT? WHERE'S MY
TROPCIAL ISLAND PARADISE? WHERE IN
CRIKEY ARE MY ROBOT SERVANTS?"
Talking of robots...
Hot from the Jungle inbox - the latest
feedback
It looks like Bandwagon Raiding Machine is
something I'm not likely to recommend.
Whether it's possible to profit from it or not, I'd
personally stay well clear of the US property
market and any attempt to exploit that situation.
Too unpredictable, too far across the Atlantic, too
much for my tastes, and it seems the same for
quite a lot of you.
One reader says:
'Charlie Petty' is in fact 'Charles Petty' a
notorious American property guru & has been
in the property business running seminars &
selling courses on property investment in the
States for many years.'
His 'robot' is actually an auto responder designed
to harvest email addresses. The idea is then that
you employ someone to work as an agent to put
the email addresses of buyers and sellers
together.
Another reader says:
"It might work if you followed everything to
the letter, and was prepared to work hard for
about a year."
It's just my opinion, but anything involving
meddling in foreign property during an economic
crisis while sitting at home in the UK in my
pyjamas is too scary for me.
This week I also got some interesting feedback on
surveys....
Three survey opps that WORK - but why
you must be wary
Sadly, the majority of readers agreed with my
analysis of survey opps from Wednesday's issue
of The Biz Opp Jungle.
One says:
"I have been doing surveys for quite a while,
just for a little extra cash occasionally - it all
helps. I agree with your reader that Ciao,
Zoom Panel and Surveys.com are a
complete waste of time. I don't bother with
them anymore."
By the way, if you didn't read that issue of The Biz
Opp Jungle, it's well worth a look and could save
you from wasting a lot of time.

However, it's not all doom and gloom. It seems
there are a few good eggs among the piles of
chicken poo.
Three readers have had a relatively good
experience with a company called Pinecone.
One says:
"They pay you £4 straight into your paypal
account each time you do a survey and they
are not too long. They are fairly regular and
you never get screened out."
And another agrees:
"They only invite me to surveys that they
know I can complete and they pay £4 a time.
I take mine as luncheon vouchers, so that
we can go out for a meal occasionally, but
you can also request a deposit into a Paypal
account."
Also Tickbox.net gets a cautious thumbs up...
"Their surveys are not too time consuming or
difficult. Some are only 3 or 4 questions.
They offer mostly vouchers for a variety of
different stores (Currys, M & S, Argos) as
prizes, with occasional cameras/camcorders.
I don't spend a lot of time doing them & I did
win £500 of vouchers for Currys.
These arrived after about 60 days, as
promised, and I treated myself to a lovely
new TV."
And finally, another reader likes Global Market
Surveys:
"I have been filling in their surveys for about
2 years now and although I do not fulfil all
the criteria that they are casting a particular
survey about, you still get points for even
starting it. Yes it may be as little as 5 points
but it does go up to 100 points, and when
you reach 1000 points you can claim a
cheque for $50 and if you carry on up to
2000 you get $100 and so on."
And finally...
A warning we could all learn from...
I got an interesting email warning about websites
that promise to "introduce you" to lots of survey
spots who promise to pay you up to $100. Either
that or they want to introduce you in the same way
to mystery shopping sites.
For this privilege, they ask you to pay about $40
(or £25) to join up.
My informant says:
"All you get is a list of survey websites which
you have to join for yourself. Worse than that
they say 'make sure you join the first 30 that
are the best, but there are only one or two in
UK!"
So you pay good money to get a list you could
have got anyway, of which very few are relevant to
we Brits.
Nice.
Anyway. thanks for all your feedback on this
subject, and I mean that. It's really good stuff.
You should all be writing your own emails and
blogs and generally taking over the world with
your incisive greatness!
But I suppose I'm glad you're not. Instead I can
pass on your comments and take all the glory.
Later alligator
