12Daily Pro - EMO Update/1099 Forms

It's like the people over at 12Daily Pro can read my mind. If you read my earlier post today about how 12Daily Pro has dropped EMO from it's list of payment processors, you know that I expressed concern over whether or not those who have active EMO upgrades will be able to those deposited into Stormpay after they're processed.

Here's the answer:

In light of the recent Stormpay/EMO issue, tomorrow we will put in place an option for all members with pending EMO withdrawals to choose to be paid out to Stormpay.

Again, we are doing all we can to provide our members with solutions that work for them during this transition.

Now, I hope that means even upgrades that haven't become withdrawals yet, but we'll have to wait and see tomorrow.

Another piece of news that just went up is that you can get a 1099 form from 12Daily Pro for tax purposes. Here is that news post:

If you are an US citizen and would like to receive a 1099, then submit the following data to us. 1. State issued Id 2. Copy of Social Security Card 3. Current utility bill (address verification) Upon receipt of the information, a 1099 will be issued and mailed to your physical address. Scan and email your information to following 1099data@12dailypro.com, if you do not have scanning ability you can fax to 1-866-308-0133 Make sure your copy is a legible copy.

That's all for now.

12Daily Pro - Payment Processor Change!

This is hot off the presses and was just posted about an hour ago in the news section of 12Daily Pro. The long and short of it is that they will no longer be using EMO as a payment processor. The only current way to upgrade is through Stormpay.

Read below for the complete news post from 12Daily Pro:

There has been a very disturbing development regarding our payment processors that we need to share with all of you.

As you know, we recently removed E-Gold as a payment processor and added EMO, as we wanted to provide our members with reliable payment processing options, that would allow you to make a choice as to which processor bests suits your needs. We developed a relationship with EMO who has been extremely helpful in making the transition as smooth as possible for our members and staff. We have nothing but praise for their security, their fee structure, and their professionalism.

We were actually very surprised at the large number of members who choice EMO as their new option. In fact the number of members who choice to have their compounded upgrades paid to EMO was exponentially more than we had thought it would be. Thus we ended up with a considerable surplus of Stormpay funds, money intended to pay the compounded upgrades. As soon as we realized this, begun to withdraw sufficient funds from Stormpay to our bank account so that we could properly meet our obligations to all Egold/EMO and Compounded/EMO members. We were due withdrawals in our bank account last Thursday that would have allowed us to complete all of these payments according to our 7 day terms. The money did not clear our banks on Thursday. It did not clear on Friday. At this point were forced to extended the payment of compounded EMO upgrades to 10 business days. However, anticipating the funds would surely clear on Monday, we maintained our Dec. 31 deadline for the payment of all E-Gold/EMO withdrawals.

We discovered Sunday night, that the delay in receiving funds was not simply slow banking. On Sunday night we received a notice from Stormpay informing us that they had cancelled all our pending withdrawals and could only pay us by bank wire or check. They also informed us that they would not continue doing business with us if we continued to offer our members the ability to upgrade with EMO. On Monday morning we attempted to arrange our bank wire with Stormpay, hoping to have time to come to some fair resolution that would allow us to maintain both payment processors. Stormpay informed us at this time that they would not allow the release of our funds until we removed EMO as a payment option from our site. We were given a 5pm deadline in order to do so. Not doing so would result in Stormpay disallowing any further upgrades incoming purchases through them. The only account functions we would have been allowed at that point would have been to refund all funds in our account to the purchaser, which would not have allowed for any earnings or commissions to be paid to these Stormpay members.

We held a conference all with Stormpay yesterday evening, in an attempt to negotiate some other solution. They informed us that due to the high degree of fraud and chargebacks by some of our members and the associated credit risk for their company that they would not continue to put themselves at that risk as long as we were allowing our members another payment option. They also expressed concern over the potential fraud of members being using both processors as a means to pass money in a fraudulent way. They informed us that as long as we offer any other payment option to our members, they will not do business with us and will not allow us unrestricted access to the funds in our account.

While we are very disturbed by their requests and do not agree with their reasoning, right now we are forced to capitulate, due to the fact that now 75% percent of our membership utilizes Stormpay as their payment option. So, as of 10am today, we have removed EMO as an upgrade option with 12Daily Pro. At Stormpay' behest, the only payment processor that will be accepted at 12Daily Pro is Stormpay.

We are extremely disappointed at this turn of events and are going to do everything we can to make this transition smooth. We selected EMO as an option because our their security, their low fees, and the flexibility. LifeClicks wants to continue our relationship with this processor. Because of this and because of our dedication to all of our members who have now created EMO accounts, we will be stepping up the launch of our new program, which will accept EMO, by a few weeks. We hope to have the site launched and available within the next couple of days. Stay tuned for more information on this.

Currently pending Egold/EMO upgrades:
We have paid out approximately 80% of these. By this afternoon, we will have paid through half of the Jan 8 expirations. Due to the delay in placing the necessary funds in EMO to complete this payments, we will have to extend the deadline for the remainder of these to February 3. If you are wondering, while there are many expiration days left to be paid, there are considerably fewere upgrades on each day than for previous days which some days only have less than a dozen. We hope to have them done before that date, but it is all dependent on the speed of our banking transactions.

Currently pending Compounded/EMO upgrades:
For those of you that chose your compounding option to be paid to EMO, your payments will also be affected. We want to give you all again the option at this point to change your payment option to Stormpay, which will allow you to be paid within 7 business days of your expiration. If you use to remain with the EMO option, the new payment deadline will be within 15 business days. We know that you have all already been very patient and that many of you have been waiting for payment since December. However, we hope that the extra monies you were able to earn by not having to pay pa processor fees for the compounded funds and being allowed to upgrade and earn far beyond our 6K limit in many cases, will help offset your wait. We will allow anyone that wants to change to StormPay at this time until tomorrow at noon before we will ‘lock in’ your payment Ids to your withdrawals again.

Currently pending regular EMO withdrawals:
Those of your who have currently pending EMO withdrawals, these will be paid within 10 business days of expiration.

Currently active EMO upgrades:
Those of you who have currently active EMO upgrades will be allowed to complete your 12 day upgrade cycle and will be paid within 10 business days of expiration.

E-Gold Upgrades which have yet to expire:
The EMO option will no longer be available. Also, if you choose to compound, you will only be able to receive the compunded withdrawal to Stormpay.

Again, we want all of you to understand that this choice is not voluntary and we did everything we could to try to negotiate some alternative. This final choice was one that we needed to make to insure that all of our members receive their deserved earnings and that the program and the company can continue for the benefit of all involved.

We will be making daily updates on this matter to keep you all informed as we move through this transition. We will also be arranging a moderated chat session, a LifeClicks town meeting of sorts later this week, to give members a chance to have any questions they might have about this matter or the program in general addressed.

We also want to ask you to refrain from any negative feedback to Stormpay regarding this issue. While we don’t agree with their actions, we accept that they are doing what they feel is best for their company.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation and your professionalism as we overcome yet another challenge that will spur us on toward greater things.

Thank you.

After reading this, one thing I'm not sure about it is if you have an active EMO upgrade, will it be processed into your EMO or back to Stormpay. It sounds like EMO, but hopefully it'll be Stormpay because, otherwise, I'd have to get my funds from EMO to Stormpay to continue to use it for upgrades in 12Daily Pro. This is an unfortunate turn of events, but I'm confident that 12Daily Pro will get through all this and continue to flourish.

Remember, if you want to reduce your Stormpay fees, become NetIBA Certified. It'll be worth the $19.99, since it seems that we'll have to use Stormpay for all of our processing in this venture.

PixMeUp - Back Office & Sign-up Update

Well, I'm sure all of you PixMeUp people know by now that the new back office isn't up and running yet. But have no fear. I've heard that they are in the final stages of bring this new feature up, so hopefully it'll be up real soon (i.e. within the next 48 hours).

Another little tidbit going through the grapevine is that PixMeUp sign ups will resume at 9pm Pacific time tonight. So, if you missed the first go around and want to get in, you can sign up then.

PixMeUp People - Tomorrow Could Be The Day

Can you feel the excitement? According to the PixMeUp team, the new backoffice software will be operational tomorrow. Monday's also the day that PixMeUp should be fully operational and we might even start to see some earnings. Now I've heard that it could take a little while to start to see some money in your account, but it's exciting to know that it could happen as early as tomorrow.

It's like Christmas all over again! Make sure you leave out some milk and cookies just in case.

12Daily Pro - Yo! Just Got Paid

Hey, everybody. Just a quick update. Yesterday, my 12Daily Pro upgrade was processed and my money arrived in my Stormpay account. Woohoo!!! The total time it took was 19 days (12 days surfing + 7 days processing), so things still seem to be rolling over there (knock on wood).

Remember, that whatever payment processor you use to purchase your upgrade will be where your money will be returned to when your upgrade expires. We'll have to wait and see if 12Daily Pro works as smoothly with EMO as it does with Stormpay.

On a side note, I know I told you that I'm going to try using EMO because of the break on fees that it gives compared to Stormpay. While this is true, I thought I must tell you that one reason people still prefer Stormpay over most payment processors is because, as far as I know (and I might be wrong), Stormpay has never been hacked into (or at least I've never heard about it). Now, I'm not saying that EMO isn't secure. I'm just saying that Stormpay seems to be very secure. For that reason, it seems that most surf and other types of sites use it as a payment processor option. Don't take my word for it, check around.

Remember, if you do use Stormpay often, you can lower your fees by getting NetIBA Certified. It'll cost you $19.99 a year to do it, but if you use Stormpay often it'll pay for itself in no time. Becoming NetIBA Certified will lower your Stormpay fees from 6.9% + 0.69$ USD/payment received to 2.9% + 0.39$ USD.

That's it for now. Tomorrow, I'll talk about another autosurf that a lot of people are talking about and saying will become the next 12Daily Pro. Wouldn't that be nice if it turns out to be true.

12Daily Pro - 3x3x3 Strategy

Happy Friday to my fellow working stiffs. In today's post I'm going to go over a common strategy that many use when upgrading with 12Daily Pro. Let me start by clarifying that this strategy isn't one that I came up with. I'm sure you can find it being promoted on a lot of sites out there. All I have to say is, thanks to whoever originally came up with it because it's a very efficient way to use 12Daily Pro.

Okay, let's get down to it. I'm going to give you the easy way tackle this (or at least the way I'm doing it). As it says in the title, it's basically a 3x3x3 strategy. The long and short of it is to divide up how much of your own money you want to use into 3 different amounts. That's because you'll eventually have 3 different upgrades working at the same time. I know what you're thinking... "but Geoff, you're an idiot, 12Daily Pro only allows 2 upgrades at a time." The reason I say you'll have 3 upgrades working is because 2 will be active upgrades while the 3rd will be an upgrade being processed for payment. Oh, and stop calling me names.

Let's give an example. Let's say you wanted to use $2,700 total of your own money to use. It's an odd amount I know, but the math works out well. Keep in mind that the total amount you want to use should be able to be divided by 18 evenly. The reason it needs to be divisible by 18 evenly is because upgrades are in increments of $6 and we are using 3 different upgrades (6 x 3 = 18). Don't worry if it doesn't make sense. Just trust me. Okay, now take your total amount and divide it by 3 (i.e. $2,700/3 = $900). So for our example, we will be using 3 upgrading amounts of $900 each. Now that we know how much we'll be upgrading each time, let's set our schedule.

Day 1: Upgrade (#1) for $900

Day 7: Upgrade (#2) for $900

Day 13: Upgrade (#3) for $900

Around day 19: Receive money from Upgrade (#1); Buy another upgrade

Around day 25: Receive money from Upgrade (#2); Buy another upgrade

Around day 31: Receive money from Upgrade (#3); Buy another upgrade

So, as you can see, we are basically upgrading every 6 days. Having 3 upgrades in play at the same time takes into consideration the lag time in processing payments, so we can use 12Daily Pro's system to it's fullest. Remember it can take anywhere from 7-11 days from the day an upgrade expires for it to be processed, so that's why we need the 3rd upgrade amount, so we can always have 2 active upgrades at all times.

After the 1st set of 3 upgrades go through and are processed, you can then decide how much you want to reinvest or how much profit you'd like to take out, if any. Remember, for all you high rollers out there, the most you can have in the system is $6,000. If you want to fully max it out, you would need $9,000 in play (upgrade amounts of $3,000 each).

Have a nice weekend, y'all.

12Daily Pro - Just Upgraded

Just keeping everyone up to speed. I just upgraded my account using EMO for the first time. We'll see if there is much of a time difference in processing between EMO and Stormpay through 12Daily Pro. One thing I know is that it'll be nice to get that upgrade back without the fees that Stormpay charges. (No offense Stormpay; I know we're all trying to make a living out there and you've been good to me so far (knock on wood))

Still waiting for an ugrade to be processed through Stormpay. It ended on January 21st, so hopefully it'll go through within the next couple of days. C'mon 12Daily Pro, keep it rollin'!

12Daily Pro - The Basics

One of the main ways I'm using to make money right now (be patient, this is only the beginning of my journey) is through autosurf sites. The crowd favorite right now seems to be 12Daily Pro. I have read a lot about this site throughtout the web (i.e. blogs, forums, etc.). The thing that seems to set this apart from other autosurf programs is that 12Daily Pro pays a higher interest and has been around since May 2005, which seems to be a long time for an autosurf site. From further reading (the specifics I won't go into), the company seems to have a better financial plan than others, so hopefully they'll be around for a while.

With that being said, I have been using 12Daily Pro since the beginning of January. I haven't had any problems getting paid (granted, I've only had a couple payouts in that time). I'm going to start increasing the amount of my upgrades, so we'll see how this goes. I'll keep you posted on my results.

Here is a little more info on 12Daily Pro if this site is new to you:

12Daily Pro is an autosurf where you are paid for autosurfing at least 12 sites per day. Autosurfing is a fully automatic process; a new site is automatically loaded every 25 seconds. All you have to do everyday is to login your account then click on the “Start Surfing” button, then let it run 5 minutes so that 12 sites passes by, that’s it! Whatever amount of money you put in (by purchasing a membership), you get 144% of that amount back after 23 days MAX (12 earning days + 7 week days + 2 weekends). The most likely scenario is 19 days (12 days + 5 week days + 1 weekend). For example, do a 6$ upgrade, autosurf 12 days, wait about a week, get back 8.64$. That’s it, you don’t have to recruit anyone, sell anything or do any other kind of work. There is no catch. Here is a site that gives you a rough idea of the profit you can make. (Please be aware that E-gold is no longer a funding option. It has been replaced by EMO)

The way you put money into the system is by upgrading your account. Each upgrade unit is $6 (which is the minimum). The maximum upgrade is $6,000. Please note that you can have a total of 2 upgrades going at the same time, but the total of the 2 current upgrades cannot be over $6,000.

The way to upgrade/fund your 12Daily Pro account is through one of the following online payment processors: Stormpay or EMO. The one you choose has to do with personal preference, but here are a couple of things I've noticed about each:

Stormpay
- easy to set up and fund quickly through a credit card
- charges a fee for receiving payment (6.9% + 0.69$ USD)
- you can reduce your fee by becoming NetIBA Certified (2.9% + 0.39$ USD)

EMO
- takes longer to intially set up your account because of it's strict verification process
- no fee to receive payment, which is nice

I've been using Stormpay, but am going to try EMO because of the fees and see how smoothly that works.

A Little More Time To Buy Pixels

I just received an email from PixMeUp and they are extending the time you can buy pixels for before the intial launch to 9PM PACIFIC TONIGHT.

They are doing this to facilitate the tremendous demand for people who want to buy ads in PixMeUp. At 9PM PST tonight they will not take any new registrations until further notice.

For those of you who have pre-registered you will have until 9PM PST Thursday evening to go in to your member's area and click on "buy pixels" and complete those transactions. After 9PM PST on Thursday they will stop all activity and begin the process of filling the matrix and preparing the first pay run which will be on Monday.

PixMeUp is doing this to accomodate thousands of people so that they don't get left out of this opportunity. If you still want to buy pixels and haven't yet, you don't have much time left so act now.

$$ PixMeUp $$ - Latest Update

Well, I did it! I bought my pixels last night and am extremely excited to see this opportunity finally get rolling. Just need to wait a few more days until they get everything just right for the relaunch. REMEMBER, if you haven't signed up and bought your pixels yet, you only have until Tuesday before 2pm pacific time, so don't miss out. You can buy them here: PixMeUp

Also, here is a message from the PixMeUp team following yesterday's opening of the pixel buying:

"Hello PixMeUp Team,

What an Incredible day!!!! When we opened up the flood gates at 2pm pacific time today over 10,000 people tried to buy an ad all at the same time. To give you an idea of what that means... We have super sized beefed up servers and access to unlimited band width, we just pay for what we use. When we get to the point where we do 1000 - 5000 new sign ups a day we will have no problems ever, in fact we'll run just as fast if only 10 people signed up in a day. But when 10,000 - 12,000 people try to buy ads all at the exact same moment... I think you get the point. When my programmers were there saying I can't believe this is happening, I put my hands in the air, I was so proud. WE LOCKED UP A RACKSPACE DEDICATED SUPER COMPUTER! They said it couldn't be done and we did it.

So everyone understands our hosting plan for PixMeUp, we've gone from $120 a year hosting to $600 a month hosting to $1500 a month hosting all in under 60 days and it will probably go up again very soon because of band width. Our hosting for the new Back End Members Area is $10,000 monthly. We are only getting the best for all of you!!!

At the same time I must admit I was a little worried, but they (Our Programmers) told me it was going to be fine we just needed to slow the buying frenzy. There is a difference between traffic to the site and transactions on the site. So we decided to make the purchase date and time dated for when you signed up for your rep site so there wouldn't be such a mad rush.

Everything now seems to be running smooth and about 2000 people bought ads today but we know there are still another 8000 - 12,000 people trying to get their ads in by the cut off of Tuesday Jan. 24 at 2pm pacific time. We have plenty of time.

There were also a few bugs that have been fixed, some people don't relize it but you can pick which page your ad goes on. There is a drop down box when your on the page to pick your pixels. Click which page you want and it will take you there.

We weren't able to have the automation in place by the time we opened up at 2pm so ads aren't showing. Customer Service was working (On Sunday) but we didn't want to try to go into the system because it was already bogged down with everyone trying to buy. Ads will be getting activated in the morning and the automation will be in place soon.

To touch on Customer Service...They have been working literally around the clock for all of you and have cleaned up a big mess that got created by all of you being to good at what you do before we could get all of our systems in place. We've had to design technology on the fly that doesn't exist, that's why we aren't scared of compition. They have no clue what they are getting themselves into. lolol But our Customer Service has been busting it for you and have done an unbelievable job.
DON'T send emails thanking them yet, wait until everything slows down, then show them a ton of love, they all deserve it.

We'll have the regular call schedule tomorrow and all this week. You can see it in the news section if you are one of the almost 2000 new people to sign up today. (Different from the 2000 ads that were bought.)

Let's make it a great day tomorrow and we'll see you on the calls.

Thanks
The PixMeUp Team"

PixMeUp - Great New $$$$ Opportunity

Okay, I just heard about this just yesterday and signed up. I must say I'm really excited about this opportunity.

I didn't know this, but apparently there has been a new trend that has been sweeping the net. It's called pixel pages. Do you know about this? Well to make a long story short, one kid has used this new phenomenon to make 1 million dollars (that's right). You can read a story about him here: A $1 million Web idea, one pixel at a time

So, yesterday, someone told me about a company called PixMeUp that has set up a system where anyone can profit from this whether they sponsor someone or not. The potential for this is huge. I mean really HUGE. Just $25.00 has the ability to make you over $19k in this. That's how huge this is.

But here's the best part. The owner is going to make sure that everyone gets a top spot so that when the company has fully launched you'll really be able to make some big money.

But there is a catch. To get in on the initial launch of this, you must sign up to reserve your spot/pixels soon. You can go to the site now and reserve your spot by clicking on "buy pixels." You won't actually be able to buy any pixels (at $25/per) until Sunday, January 22 at 2pm pacific time. From that time IT WILL ONLY BE OPEN FOR 48 HOURS TO SIGN UP AND BUY YOUR PIXELS. Make sure you get in before it closes. However, make sure you sign up before Sunday to reserve your spot, so when Sunday comes along, you can purchase pixels without a problem.

For everyone who buys a pixel, he/she will be guaranteed a top spot. It doesn't matter how many you buy, you will get a top position to profit. It's only $25 for a one block ad (you can always buy more if you want).

Join me in this adventure. Go to my PixMeUp site and sign up under the "Buy Pixels" link. Also, make sure to read as much about this opportunity on the site as you can. I know this is very confusing and I don't claim to know everything about this. I highly suggest getting in on one of the conference calls (or you can listen to the recorded call), as well (info on that is under the "News" section). They explain this opportunity much better than I can. Then, on Sunday, you have 48 hours to buy as many pixels as you want.

If you've signed up and are just waiting until you're able to buy pixels on Sunday, you should still do a few things:

1. You will want to make sure you have your money in the right place. In order to purchase pixels on Sunday, you will have to do it using one of the following e-currencies: Stormpay, E-gold, Safepay, and all major credit cards through Stormpay. Personally, I would use Stormpay since you can sign up and fund your account quicker using a credit card. So make sure you have available funds in any of those options and you'll be fine. If you don't have an account set up at any of these e-currencies, I would take care of this as soon as possible, since some take longer to set up and get funds into.
   
   Also, note that the opportunity to purchase ads will only be available for 48 hours and then it will shut down again.




2. One of the best things about this program is that you don't have to sponsor anyone to make money. However you should invite others to a conference call (or have them listen to the recorded call) and get them in before Sunday because with every purchase on Sunday every person will have a business center put at the top of the matrix. No matter how many you buy. This will create some great spillover and give each person the potential to earn over $19k just on a $25.00 purchase. So with that being said wouldn't you want to know about something like that?
   
   Absolutely and so would those around you. Get your own website by signing up at my link here: http://www.pixmeup.com/gwmiss and then once you have your site invite your associates to sign up and invite them to listen to the call. If you cannot explain it then don't try. Just get them on the call and let the call do the work for you. That's the purpose of the calls. Also, it's very important to make sure that you invite your associates to YOUR website and not mine. This will ensure they sign up under you.

I know that sounds very confusing. Trust me, I'm still learning myself. Also, I realize that this is a small timeline to get in before the initial launch, but I think that everyone who gets involved before the launch will be very happy that they did so. I'm very excited about this and can't wait to get started.
