SCAM Alert: Gradient Grant Community Outreach Support Program
I was recently contacted in FACEBOOK
Messenger by somebody I barely knew, about how I could receive a $50,000 grant
from the U.S. government. Next, was told I'd be connected to some lawyer who
would take all sorts of personal information to secure my grant.
My spidey senses immediately started to
tingle. I don't know these people, it sounds too good to be true and I never
divulge that sort of info unless I know who I am dealing with and know 100%
that it's legitimate.
When a second stranger also contacted me
out of the blue with the same trash talk; "Did you hear the good
news?" it confirmed that this is going around and is to be avoided. The
two people who contacted me were:
Gary Letscher
Karen Howard
No doubt their Facebook memberships have
been hacked and used by scammers to recruit victims.
So, if either of these two or someone else you
barely know, contacts you about the "good news" to do with
"Gradient Grant Community Outreach Support Program" - I'd block the
person and report it to Facebook immediately.
Stay Safe!

BTC Price forecast - will history repeat itself?Then $3,600 isn't out of the realm of possibility
It's been 28 days since my last article about the pullback in the BTC price, when I suggested it looked like it might fall to the $10,000 to $8,000 range. Now that it's done the and had a bounce to the mid $11,000 range where it seems to have stabilized for the moment, I thought it was time to do an update and revisit those price targets.
Of course making price and timing predictions is a mug's game. After all, nothing's more uncertain than the future. And markets do whatever it takes to fool the a most number of people, most of the time. Which is pretty easy actually, given that most people vote with their emotions and wishes, as opposed to the facts and rational analysis. To be successful in the markets however, you need to discount the obvious ('cause it's already priced in) and focus on the unexpected. Another market tactic is understand that markets often move in cyclical patterns. Yes, history often repeats itself. This is because the majority of people are more often than not, as I said, driven by emotions of fear and greed. And this never changes over history.
The last time this happened - late 2013
Bitcoin hasn't been around very long so there is precious little history to look at, to identify cycles. But sure enough - in December 2013/January 2014 - right around the same time of the year as this time, the Bitcoin price went parabolic, and in very similar fashion. How convenient! Take a look at the chart below to see what happened then, and see if this might provide clues for this time around.
Notice in the first chart, in 2013, how it ran up all the way from roughly $100 to a peak of around $1,100, or 11 times in price. A ten+ bagger. Then it peaked and crashed. Initially - it dropped roughly in half, to around the $600. There was a tradable bounce to $1,000. But this didn't hold for very long. After that, it continued correcting and searching for an ultimate bottom until it finally reached it about a year later at $200. A 82% correction. After that, It took about 8 months to form a solid base from which it could move up from. Which it finally started doing almost two years from the peak. And it took 3 years to reach the old highs.
Okay so let's look at what's happened this time around.... Low and behold, this time it move up from roughly $2,000 to $20,000 - an amazingly similar 10x bagger parabolic rise! What a coincidence. And how convenient! This would indicate a similar level of hysterical buying as the last time in this happened in 2013. Okay now the correction, so far - this initial sell off has taken it down to below $10,000 before it bounced, or a drop in half from the high around $20K. OMG - that's JUST LIKE the last time around - again! Okay, so are you beginning to see a pattern forming? I certainly am!
Now - just because so far this parabolic move was almost identical to the last time around so far - doesn't mean that it needs to repeat the rest of the cycle the same way. But just for fun let's forecast some rough targets in the event that it does continue to unravel like it did last time. If that were to happen, it would take a year to bottom out at roughly December 2018 or so. A similar 82% decline would take down $16,400 from the highs, to around $3,600. Another 8 month of basing would take us to October 2019. And it would take all the way until late 2020 to reach its old highs of around $20,000.
Short term price chart
Finally, let's look at a shorter term chart to see what clues it might give us in terms of future direction.
The chart has completed an Elliot Wave A-B-C correction and has bounce off lows around $9,000 to the mid-$11,000 area. The trend however, remains down. We'd need to see a decisive break above $14,00 to declare a trend reversal is underway.
Bitcoin "Fundamentals"
I have trouble trying to assess the fundamental value to the coin. Like for instance, commodities such as gold. I don't know the exact average price of production these days. But let's say for arguments sake that it costs $1,000 to mine an ounce of the precious metal. Then you need to toss in a hundred or three for transporting, storing and a little retail profit for the seller. That would make the current price of around $1,300 - quite reasonable. Besides the price of production, though it's got some intrinsic value as. It's certainly beautiful. It's malleable and useful for jewelry. Not to mention - as a currency - it's performed this roll for thousands of years. As a value investor, we would try to hold out for discounts from this price if possible, and avoid paying high premiums from the fundamental value for it.
But how much does it take to mine a Bitcoin? And what is its intrinsic value? Offhand I have no clue what it costs to produce. And as for the product's usefulness, as far as I am concerned, it's junk. It's slow and cumbersome to use, transaction fees are obscenely high, and it's not secure. All the qualities we might look for in a currency aren't there. IMO, it's only valuable to drug dealing money launderers, and we price speculators. And as long as the price is no longer rising by $1,000 a week, as it was in 2017, I see no valid reason to hold any sizeable amount it.
I apologize if this makes upsets enthusiasts. I'm not here to make you feel better but to tell the truth based on proven analysis and the facts. I'd love to be wrong and for the price to reverse tomorrow and head straight to $30,000. Like I see from the same Bitcoin experts who tried to convinced us that transaction fees were low... But am not willing to lie about it.
Until next time,

TOAN Update: Traffic remains strong
- New recommendations; CAB & BYM
Traffic, Alexa rating and memberships Soar! But why?
(It's the traffic network, stupid...)
(It's the traffic network, stupid...)
Several
significant upward trends are convalescing to create serious upward growth
momentum at my primary ad site; The Online Ad Network (TOAN).
Ad Traffic
Ad
Impressions and Clicks remain strong since beginning to strengthen in March
as you can see in the table below. Traffic have virtually exploded from
one year (2015) to this year.
Alexa Rating bottoms in May
There
was a lag of about two months or so, but then the Alexa Rating bottomed in May and hasn't looked back
since.
My team has tripled in size
As
a result of a major recovery in traffic volume, our Team TOAN membership has
stopped contracting and is expanding in sympathy of these other trends. My downline

stopped contracting and is expanding in sympathy of these other trends. My downline
has tripled in just the few months. Because advertisers now getting THREE important
things
- a high volume of high quality traffic, at a low set price.
It's the traffic, stupid
The
program's owner, Brian Rooney has vastly expanded his network and traffic and
this is
directly benefiting members since early 2016 by causing traffic to increase
many times over.
I'm
still getting around 400,000 to 500,000 impressions per month and hundreds of
high
quality clicks on my ads per month at roughly $0.04 per click. This compares to sources
charging $0.50 per click so TOAN remains a great value. Remember, people clicking on these ads are not clicking to earn an ad credit or a penny like at Traffic Exchanges or PTC sites. They click because they are actually interested, motivated and 100% targeted prospects!

Downline Builder News.....
TOAN added to two downline builders
A
cute advertising site called Crazy About Banners has hooked up with Team
TOAN, and
has added TOAN to its Downline Builder. So if already a member of CAB, I
suggest you visit
the downline builder and add your TOAN, Traffic Wave or Leased Ad Space
Affiliate ID info
right away as this could get you sign ups!
And
if you are not already a member of CAB, I'd certainly recommend it at $20,
1-Time, for
perpetual
Text and Banner ads (2 each) plus 1,000 sign-in ads. Not to mention CAB's comp
plan
which consists of a 50% payment of $10 plus entrance into a 2x20 Matrix which
max's
out
a cool Million Dollars....
------------------------------------------------
Brenda Launches BYM - Build Your Matrix d/l
Builder includes TOAN & TW
Brenda
de Reus, one of my top team leaders in TOAN has launched her own
downline builder this
past month, including TOAN & Traffic Wave in a very limited number of programs (5) and this
can only help to maintain or boost memberships at these two programs. In fact
I've seen about
a 23% increase in the size of my TOAN downline since Brenda launched it about
two weeks
ago. I highly recommend that if you belong to any of these programs, you join
BYM which
is free, and add your Referral ID's in the downline builder. And then market
BYM with the excellent
Affiliate Tools Brenda has set up for us.
Also take note of "Step 7" which is a complete marketing funnel that you can use to build an email list. Even low-tech people can master setting up their own funnel using Traffic-Wave with the help of Carol's step-by-step instructional video included.

Summary / Conclusions:
Interest
in TOAN remains high and I continue to recommend because of the
excellent volume and quality of traffic it's
delivering and very high earnings/growth potential it provides as the market
wakes up to the advertising value.
I
expect membership growth should remain strong in 2017 with all the positive
things going for it currently. It's never too
late to join TOAN - while I have downline all the way to my 10th level, I am
currently only filling my 3rd level right now
due to inevitable turnover.
NEW
Recommendations: Join (CAB) Crazy About
Banners ($20) and (BYM) Build Your Matrix (free) as these provide synergy
with TOAN and TW as well as a few others and CAB offers an earning opportunity
of its own. If a bunch of us
all decide to join and market it together, which we can do now through BYM, it
could be fun and lucrative. Yet the risk
is minimal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 9, 2016
News Release:
Announcing A New Down-line Builder:
Build Your Matrix
Brenda de Reus just launched, is a new downline builder called "Build Your Matrix." It's FREE to join and promote the following five programs:
The Online Ad Network (TOAN)
Traffic-Wave (TW)
Leased Ad Space (LAS)
Crazy About Banners
(CAB)
The common denominator is that these all pay with Matrix compensation plans.
Cool Feature: Build Your LIST too!
Build Your Matrix also lets you build your own
list with their FREE Marketing Funnel
system completewith
Lead Capture pages, and 7 piece email series! Everything is done for us. The feature is available for no additional costs for
members of Traffic-Wave, which is
an AutoResponder and email system that allow Unlimited Campaigns and Unlimited email subscribers, for the fixed
rate $17.95 per month,which includes affiliate
referral program that lets you earn from a 3x10 Matrix that max's out at
$88,000.
I believe it's worth getting Traffic-Fusion just to use this email list-building feature created by the owners of Build Your Matrix.
Because,
if you struggle with creating an email list - here's a system that's easy to
set up. I believe that people who have previously had trouble creating an email list because they
found Auto Responders, setting up funnels, writing email series, etc., too much for them, will be able to master
the set up here. The
instructional video will have you set up in minutes, and helping to building your email list
24/7 on autopilot!
Just sign up for BYM, and proceed to "Step 7" to begin setting up and start building your email list.

Just connect with me on Skype (ID: louis.paquette2) or my Facebook (louis.paquette1) and tell me which two programs you joined and send me your preferred link to advertise (see a variety of Splash and Lead Capture pages you can use in the Affiliate tools area).

Introduction to Network Marketing 101
An
associate of mine in a different filed has asked me to tell him about
network marketing. So I did, in no uncertain terms. I told him the Good,
the Bad and the Ugly. I admit, some comments below are harsh. But I
don't candy coat things for my friends.
Bob,
Nice to hear from you earlier today..
It sounds like you're considering diversifying and dipping your toe into the network marketing
ocean, so let me paint some broad strokes for you and make a few concrete
suggestions.
First the bad news. It's really hard to earn online. People
waste years trying and fail. Many marketers are jerks. An old online buddy used
to say; "All marketers are LIARS" and there is some truth to that -
they make exaggerated claims and tell you what they want you to hear (sounds
like some stock promoters we know, huh?...LOL). As a one- time investor who
liked to do my due diligence PRIOR to committing, the culture here is
especially maddening since these people expect you to "opt-in" (so
they can blast you with emails) or even to commit to things without information
to evaluate. Here's an example of an "Opt-in Lead Capture Page" http://www.createsplashpages.com/splash.php?id=3101
The good news - there's NO MORE commuting to work - set your
own hours - and if you find the right situation and mentor or group - it is
actually possible to earn a living - and the rare time - hit a home run and
earn big.
This work can be very tedious and frustrating at times - but
rewarding in the right situation..
If I haven't turned you off yet, here's what I would suggest
for you.
1. Get your Payment Processors set up.
I will assume you have PayPal - get at least one or both of
these other two Canadian based Pay Processors. You need these to pay and get paid.
Solid Trust Pay: https://www.solidtrustpay.com/ref/114637648
2. Get Skype.com - the online chat service that is
the choice of marketers.
3. Let me cherry pick a small portfolio of programs
for you to try consider...
I am in everything from many different types of TRAFFIC
programs, Health & Wellness, Revenue Sharing (passive earnings) tools
such as Auto-Responders, and so on.
Here is a batch of diverse but complimentary programs that I would suggest for you. I've aimed for the
most passive ones and I am in and avoided the most tedious ones. I have met
(online) and am comfortable with the owners of 3 out of 4 of these:
My
diamonds in the rough:
1. My24Hour Income - Revenue Sharing/Advertising - https://www.my24hourincome.com/ref/10695
2. The Online Ad Network - Advertising http://teamtoan.blinkweb.com/ http://www.theonlineadnetwork.com/affiliates/video1.php?rid=5820
3. Chew The Fat Off - Health & Wellness/Weight Loss http://diamondlou.chewthefatoff.com/
4. MyCycler - another possibly new passive earner http://mycycler.com/?ref=diamondlou
That should be enough to give you some idea of what it's
about. You could get started for $500 to $1,000 (much less if you skip
My24HourIncome) and $100 or so per month to maintain them.
I'd be earning commissions from these so would avail myself
if you need help setting up or if you get stuck. Let me know if there you have any questions or are ready to
discuss these in more detail.
Take care,
Diamond Lou

June 17, 2016Breaking the 97% Cycle Of Failure
Now a little story for you....about a mission I have been on.
For some time now, I have come to the realization, that the average person probably has a hard time perfecting all of the different skills that it requires to be in the top 3% who are successfully earning a living in this crazy business of affiliate marketing.
We need to be experts at:
- Creating Domain names
- Setting up Hosting
- Web design - Word Press at least
- Advertising
- Graphics
- Email Marketing
- Skype Marketing
- Social Network Marketing
- Slick Lead Capture Page making
- 37 step Auto Responder systems
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
- Copy Writing
- Creating amazing videos
- Holding amazing webinars
The average person can't or won't learn all of that. No way. Maybe 3% or less who try will succeed.
So the beat goes on - 3% make it - and 97% fail - time and time.
It's become my mission - my obsession - to find a way to break this depressing cycle of failure. By either creating or locating a program or set of programs - that the average person can actually do and can earn a living at. I've reviewed and tested hundreds of programs and haven't found any that meet the bill.
Until just recently.
Finally, I believe I have located a couple of platforms which might help
us to break this cycle. My selection criteria was:
1. Low risk - no or low money to join and begin to earn
2. Significant upside earnings potential
3. Relatively simple to perform
4. Something OTHER THAN a revenue share or advertising product
Two Platforms
If you like the product and share it, the program has a simple and potentially lucrative compensation plan using a 3 x 10 matrix that automatically pays out at $20 or above.
Finally, the program has a $1 - 15 Day trial so you can run all these ads for a couple weeks to see how it works for you with next to nothing to risk. For more details and to join click the blue button below.

The Online Ad Network traffic volume and quality keeps rising, Volume explodes by Over 20X previous rates!
This past December, we reported that traffic from TOAN had exploded in November, from an average of about about 4,000 impressions per day last year, to nicely over 100,000 per day. The question remained, was it a temporary improvement and what was the quality was like?I'm pleased to report that daily traffic remains on average over 100,000 per day (millions each month) and while I was averaging 700+ click throughs this past couple of calendar months, over the past 30 days this has risen to over 2,100 visits. That's a tremendous amount of highly targeted organic traffic. As a result, signups at my two Traffic Exchanges and other affiliate programs I'm advertising remain strong. That's an awesome product for only $19.95 per month.
I think we're sitting on a hidden gem, and untold story that needs to be told! I mean, how many businesses have you ever seen deliver a more than 20 times increase in product, without a price increase? That's what's happened at TOAN starting this past December.
And because if the product's value has improved this much - the potential of the affiliate program should rise with it, since we have a much improved product. I am planning a new marketing push right away. And I urge my downline team to do the same. There's some great graphics of stats in the members area (examples here) to create your own splash pages with. Or you can borrow mine as examples, for that matter.
I urge you to fill up your TOAN with 30 or more ads to all your other programs as soon as possible to boost your overall business this year, and to start marketing TOAN everywhere you can now.
Start showing TOAN to your best contacts who need more and better traffic. I offer Skype and Facebook support if you want it, there's how-to set up videos on the site, and Brian conducts regular webinars. So don't worry about getting stuck.

The Online Ad Network delivers
sudden, huge boost in traffic
Something very unusual happened at one of my core
advertising programs this
past month. Until recently, I was getting 2,000 to 6,000
impressions per day to the
roughly 20 to 30 Text and Banner ads I've been typically
running. Late November,
the rate of impressions began to uptick. Then in December,
they have soared,
recently to 118,000 impressions yesterday, or 26 times what
I was used to getting.
(encouraged by the abrupt increase in traffic, I will
mention I've boosted the number
of ads I currently run to 36. But this hardly explains the
increase in traffic that's
happened lately).
happened lately).
I notice that the owner has been "tinkering" with
things, and I can only conclude this
is behind the huge boost in traffic we're suddenly getting. He's
changed the number
of ads we can run from unlimited, to 50 per member at any
one time. Seems to me,
that this, must be causing the average member to get that
much more exposure and
traffic now. The price of $19.95 per month remains the same. But now I'm getting
traffic now. The price of $19.95 per month remains the same. But now I'm getting
>20 times as much traffic.
Ya gotta like that!
With the product/service performance improving by a factor
of 26, will that mean we should be able to add new Team TOAN members 26 times as
fast? Or build a team26 times as large? After all if
this recent increase holds, we'd be able to get in the order of 3.5 MILLION Impressions
per month - for a mere $20 - that should be an easy sale! Where else can you get this much exposure per dollar?
I would certainly urge all of my TOAN downline to inform
their lists about this massive performance enhancement for their own benefits. Feel free to forward any part
of this article after "rebranding" it with your own referral link below. Or
just pass along as is,and let's together create some spillover for our team members who can use it.
Or better yet, do both.

How To Build Your Own Facebook Groups
Thousands of people are posting their advertisements in Facebook groups on a daily basis!
But the problem is that you always need to repost your ad to keep it on top, and many people are using automated softwares to post their ads so it’s very hard for anyone to get results these days.
A much better way is to build your own Facebook groups with your advertisement on the top, and have other people joining & posting their ads in your group. The best thing is that your group will start growing on its own once you’ve reached a certain amount of members!
Although Facebook groups are not the best option to advertise your downline builder, it’s a great way to create self-growing communities and build new relationships with other online marketers.
Warning: It takes much time (work), patience and consistency to see results!
