Looking For The Next Big Thing

I was gonna resist, not do as much autosurfing this go round, but the temptation… it was too strong! Just when you think you’re out, they keep pulling you back in. :)

This time it was Daily 11, Lunar Surfing, and Yield Surf

Autosurfs, I believe, should be treated as a game.

They will come, they will go, the only way to prolong yourself is to hedge your bets and use a variety of strategies. But, please people, treat them like a game - a game with educated bets and decisions, but a game nonetheless - and don't spend what you can't afford to lose!

Now that that disclaimer is out of the way, it’s about time to search for the next big gun.

Why?

Well, this week was a bad one for autosurfs. Wired went down (kinda), TotalRune continues to exhibit some strange activities (although is slowly picking up the pace some would say) and Compact is enacting changes that are either gonna suck or rule (time will tell.)

If you play the autosurfing game, it’s always best to treat it as a game and be getting in, out and searching for the next one with your profits. A lot of people are loving the ‘go in hard’ first round approach these days as well, which seems to be paying off for those of us who can afford (and pity those of us who can’t!)

Of course, if you want a REAL investment opportunity, there’s always something like FX-Experts or its brethren (risky, but real) and if you just want to have a fun game with less risk… try EGoldRevolution.

It’s been here since before the beginning of time. (Slight exaggeration!)

So, whilst my last big guns drag their legs and I wasn’t able to get in early enough to fully ‘play’ any of the other favourites I go in search of treasure.

There’s nothing that jumps out at me with the calibre of Compact or Wired or Phoenix at their beginning stages, but there are a few I’m going to have a dalliance with. All are fresh!

Daily 11 Surf

First up, for something really fresh, as in something that started a day or two ago we have Daily 11 (yes, another play on the whole “Number” “Daily” naming scheme.) Anyway, why do I reccomend them? Well - they’re fresh. Really fresh, and are slightly prettier and more ‘professional’ then some of the current ones popping up. Might be good for a cycle or two at least (hopefully.)

Here’s something I scalped from the MMG forums:

“So, what are our plans?

Its simple, our aim is to run a sucessful business operating as a autosurf, we have a good team of programmers (who have developed some unique plugins), who are now working on a great advertising page which will be merged into Daily11Surf over the next few days. Its our mission to run one of the better AutoSurfs around, by offering a full and honest service to our members.

Of course, as we are new we are bound to come across certain teething problems, which when they occur will be dealt with in a quick and professional mannor, with the key being informing our membership of what is happening, how it will be resolved and the timeframe we expect.

Like any other new professional business we have allocated a certain amount of funds for advertising, as any business to become succesful needs to get the brand they work in out infront of certain groups of people. Saying this, we have already purchased $1250 woth of advertising on MMG, $400 of advertising on TalkGold, $120 worth of advertising with certain Paid to Read, Paid to Click sites, and this within the first few hours of launch, and we are in the process of spending another $500 at another large forum. This is all without advertising costs for listings, banners and text ads on certain monitoring sites which will be decided on over the next few days.

Customer support is the top of our agenda and already we have our own forum for our current and new members. I would suggest that if any member of MMG joins our program, they also join our forum. This is due to my brother and I not having enough hours in the day to post the same message all over the place.

Ideally we are talking about hiring people into the Daily11Surf team already, these people would Moderate our forum and pass the messages onto others like this. If you are interested in this position Krzysztof just send me a PM at the Daily11Surf forum. Talking of our forum we have actually unlike many of the other sites have a working upto date licence for the forum script we use. Other autosurfs use pirated or unsecure PHP forum based scripts, this is just another example of our commitment to our members.

Over the next few days I hope to pop in here again, but untill we get the right staff in the right positions my brothers time and mine is really tight.

David Stevensen”

Well reasoned and nicely written PR speak can often be a good indicator of how long a program will last, and in these early-early-early stages they’re putting the effort into nurturing a community as well.

Early bird gets the worm!

Here’s their first email-update:

“May I take this time and thank you for spending the time to read the first email update by Daily11Surf. As you know we launched yesterday and we are just 24 hours old.

Daily11Surf is run by my brother (David) and I (Bruce) who both come from the East Coast of the USA. We have spent a longtime planning this business and I hope you agree when I say that the feel of the site separates us from the many sites that we call competition. It is our aim to make this business work, the business of advertising is a huge field to get involved in and we know we have the skills, knowledge and expertise to make it work.

Daily11Surf is a professional way to advertise your website and or business, and earn money at the same time. We offer our members the chance to buy what we call an ‘Advertising Unit’, in fact our members can buy up to 11,111 ‘Advertising Units’. The cost of each unit is only $1.11 and can be paid via E-Gold By purchasing our ‘Advertising Unit’ our members are allowed to place up to 11 sites into our Members Only rotator system which will be displayed to other members.

Like any other new professional business we have allocated a certain amount of funds for advertising, as this is needed to make sure that the business we are running is seen by people who might need the service we offer. We have already purchased the following advertising

One Months Banner at MMG : Cost $1250
One Months Banner at TalkGold : Cost $400
One Months Banner at DreamTeamMoney : Cost $500
One Weeks Banner at . : Cost $250
Various Ads on Various PTC/PTR Sites : Cost $200
Various Ads on other HYIPs/Surfs : Cost $500

Total advertising in first day $3100, and believe me there will be more campaigns coming. How many new businesses do you see who are that committed on their first day to make their site seen.

If at anytime you have any questions regarding the Daily11Surf business or website, please come to our own licensed forum which can be found at http://www.daily11surf.com/forum or email us at support@daily11surf.com.

Customer Support is our main importance, and your questions will be dealt with in a well timed manner.

Stay tuned to the Daily11Surf business as over the following days/weeks you will see more and more new features being added.

All the Best

Bruce Stevensen”

They’re concentrating on advertising. Duh - but also GOOD, especially in this early stage, to stimulate and encourage that growth.

Lunar Surfing

The next one I signed up for, which probably has the biggest potential to become a Phoenix/Wired/Compact behemoth (to infinity and beyond!) is Lunar Surfing.

From the front page:

LunarSurfing is an advertising program owned and operated by Melanie & HellYeah, very well known members of MoneyMakerGroup; a popular investment forum, and the rest of LunarSurfing team. We currently offer 9% daily for 14 days, which is in turn for several minutes of advertising viewing. Members are also able to advertise their own sites, which will in turn be viewed by other members after 14 seconds. Up to 250 Advertising Credits can be purchased at a rate of 5 USD per Credit. Our Users account is credited after 14 sites have been viewed. Commissions for advertising viewing are paid out due to various investments made by the LunarSurfing team.”

They have a lessor rate, but indeed the program is from ‘respected members of the community.’ So far the community is catching on which could see the phenomenal growth as people get hungry for these types of things, combined with the smaller rate of return which could see many safe cycles yet. They’ve been around since June 1st! Still fresh!

‘Smooth surfing’ and ‘fast payouts’ are still being reported willy nilly with these guys with no problem flags I’ve noticed (not that I’ve studied it in depth for three days or anything, this is just from a somewhat cursory glance!)

Yield Surf

I had GladiatorSurf here and it was last on my list because I joined it last (as in right before I wrote this) but today I got an update from them saying that they were making some changes like getting rid of referral commissions (good in some ways for the long run, yet at the same may lessen growth) but more importantly they are implementing a VM card, though it is said EGold will remain as an option.

Bored with VM sagas however that slowly evolve into “now you must use VM”, “someone hacked our EGold” “insert random excuse here” I’m jumping ship somewhat because right as I got that email I saw some info on YieldSurf. It’s a pretty site with some good effort behind it and is much newer (June 12th.)

Payouts are within minutes right now and it’s got relatively high rates… (for six days.)

So it’s great for a hit and run, and the admin is as of now communicative and friendly. Payouts are also happening in early Compact zippy speed right now.

So into Yield I go!

“*22 - 24% daily
*upgrade lasts 6 days
*surfing 20 sites daily
*maximum of 10 000 in upgrades
*8 - 12% referral bonus (5% for free members)
*200 credits just for joining
*50 free credits for every 1$ spent for upgrades
*PTC program
*Banner advertising
*E-gold and AlertPay accepted
*Forum, mail support
*7/24 support
*effective advertising
*started 2006 06 12
*fast payouts (usually within 12 hours)
*minimum payout 1$”

Some good signs of Lunar picking up the pace on the way to ‘big gun’ glory and Daily 11 is too early to tell but that’s the whole point. :) Yield has some great short/medium potential too, and each cycle is nice and short with quick payouts as of now.

So I’m thinking, these will be the three programs I migrate over to as my next three ‘big guns.’ Play smart, play hard folks, and remember to think about real yet risky investments such as FX-Experts and co. (I keep using FX-E as an example because they are still publically available and only have a $100 minimum!)

Bla bla bla Chancer’s had his autosurfing fix so he’s off to bed.

P.S. Don’t forget for a lot of providers, etc. mail from things like these autosurfs (such as activation emails!) will go to your junk folder.
