Two Potential Money Makers

Good afternoon!  It is Tuesday afternoon and we just got hit with a snow storm early this morning.  Fortunately, because I work from home, I don't have to drive in all the slush.  YUCK!

Today's posting focuses on two potential money-makers that I will start promoting this week.  These will definitely test my marketing skills, because I will need to build a downline and persuade them to pay for the service.

Both of these opportunities are similar in their design.  Both give you the opportunity to promote your businesses.  They can also earn you some extra money; potentially over a million dollars if you promote it and get the right people to join your downline.  On that note, I will discuss each opportunity in detail.

PIF43



PIF43 is a Text Ad Exchange site where you can advertise your business, website, affiliate link, etc.  PIF43 offers several types of advertising for your business:


  • Banner Ads
  • Solo Ads
  • Text Ads
  • HTML Ads
  • Traffic Links


The way it works is that you use your credits to advertise your sites, which will bring you traffic.  You obtain your credits from viewing other member's websites.  

Advertising your business is always a good thing, but the fun part of it is when you get to refer others and make money.  When you sign up for PIF43, you are a Gold member.  As a Gold member, you are able to promote your sites, but you will not be able to refer others until you become a Diamond member.  You become a Diamond member by paying the $4.99 to get your position into the 3x15 forced matrix.  If you want to increase your chances of making money, you can purchase several positions on the matrix. Go to the website for a further explanation of this.

As a Diamond member, you get paid in two ways.  You get a direct commission of $2.50 for every member you refer who becomes a Diamond member.
You also receive a commission of $0.50 for referrals on Level 1 and $0.10 for those in your downline from Levels 2-15 who upgrade to Diamond.  If you're a good marketer, then you can accumulate quite a bit of money.  

Recently, I upgraded to the Blue Sapphire membership, in which I paid $10.99.  With this membership, I will potentially make more money:


  •  For one, there's a separate matrix for BS members, in which I get $5.00 direct commission for referrals who upgrade to BS
  •  I get a 50% upgrade to $0.15 for referrals in my downline from Levels 2-15 who upgrade to Diamond
  •  I get a $0.50 commission on my downline referrals who upgrade to BS through 10 levels.    


I also get 3 solo ads, which is a plus when needing to get a lot of exposure to my websites.

$1.50 Cash Magic




$1.50 Cash Magic is a little different from PIF43 as far as advertising and for obtaining referrals.  

Like PIF43, 150CM offers advertising for its members:


  • 468x60 Banner Ads
  • 125x125 Banner Ads
  • Text Ads
  • Login Ads

Unlike PIF43, which you can join as a free member, 150CM requires that you pay the initial $1.50 to participate in the 5x5 Forced Matrix, or you will be deleted from the site.  Their commissions are paid differently, but it's simplier than PIF43.  On your first level, you get 5 referrals.  When they pay, you get the $1.50.  If you get a sixth referral, that person goes to your 2nd level, where you can have 25 members.  In order to get paid from each level, you have to pay:

1st Level:  $1.50
2nd Level:  $5.00
3rd Level:  $25.00
4th Level:  $60.00
5th Level:  $350.00

Once you pay the $350.00 for Level 5, you will be receiving payments from all 5 levels in the above amounts.  If all of these positions are filled, you would get paid over a million dollars.

Unlike PIF43, in which you use your earned credits to advertise continuously; with 150CM, you can only advertise once per level paid.  

As I mentioned earlier, I will be promoting both of these sites in order to bring in referrals.  I'm looking for internet marketers who are looking to make a little $$$$ for themselves.  Ones who are dedicated and persistent...and not give up after 1 week.  

I am learning new ways to market my websites through Clickbank University, so marketing these two sites will be a measuring stick to how far I have come and how far I can go!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild


Hello blog readers:

Today I decided to step away from the discussion of achieving financial independence to discuss a game that I have been playing for almost 30 years.  

Today is the launch of the new Legend of Zelda game, Breath of the Wild.  It is also the launch of Nintendo's new console, the Switch.  BOTW will be the ninth Zelda game that I will get to play. Below are the previous 8 Legend of Zelda games I have played since 1990:

  • The Legend of Zelda (original)
  • A Link to the Past
  • The Ocarina of Time
  • Majora's Mask
  • The Wind Waker
  • The Twilight Princess
  • Skyward Sword
  • Spirit Tracks


When I first played the Legend of Zelda in 1990, I was mesmerized by how different the game was compared to the other games I played up to that time.  It was an adventure like no other.  As Nintendo created other Zelda titles in later years, I played them, which put me on a high like no other.  I love the storylines of the game..and the things I had to do and the places I had to go to achieve the mission of beating the final villian.  Each Zelda game I played left me mesmerized, so you can imagine how hype I am about the next game in the Zelda series, which could be the biggest and best ever!  

Right now I'm a little sad, because unfortunately, I'm not able to purchase the game or the console at this time.  My current financial situation has prevented me from buying the game and console today. However, I am optimistic that I will be playing this game real soon.


Actually, I have a hurdle I need to overcome before I can buy the game and console.  As I mentioned in my previous blog posting, I am behind in my rent...so before I can even consider buying the BOTW and the Switch, I need to catch up with my rent payments.

The fact to the matter is, I am able to play BOTW now.  I have a Nintendo Wii U (in my bedroom hooked up to my 32-inch HDTV), and the BOTW is released for the Wii U as well. However, when it comes to playing Zelda games, I have to have the best of the best....so here's my plan.  If I am able to catch up my rent, I have 2 major purchases I need to make before  I buy the game and the console.  First, I want to buy a TV stand....one that stands high, so I can sit the new 55-inch 4K HDTV that I plan to buy.  First, I will have to sell my 52-inch rear-projection HDTV (that I bought in 2005).

If you read my previous posting, I mentioned that will getting into selling items on eBay.  Before I can do so, I will need to acquire a secure credit card with a minimum credit limit.  I will use the credit card to help me make sales on eBay, then use some of the money I make from the sales to increase the credit limit until I have at least a $5000 credit limit.  Depending on my financial situation, I may use this card to purchase the items I need about to start playing BOTW.    Of course, there may be other sources that pays for these items.  We'll see.

We all have our interests as far as what we want in life.  Thus playing the Legend of Zelda is one of the interests I have. Reaching financial independence will grant me many things that I want to have or to do.  If I can do it, then you can too.  

In my next posting, I want to discuss two smaller opportunities that I signed up for that could put some extra $$$ in my pocket.

OPP Update: March 2017

Good morning blog readers:

Today is the first day in March, and I’m sitting here at my desk in my home office waiting for customer service/sales calls from this company that I’m an independent agent for.  If you are interested in becoming your own boss, the first thing you should do is to start working at home.  There are many companies out there that you can work for right in the comfort of home.  They don’t pay much (an average of $10 per hour), but look at it this way; you don’t have to get dressed, you save on commuting (which will ultimately save you on auto insurance), and you save on having to buy work clothes.  The biggest benefit of working from home is that you are able to promote your business, website or service.  You wouldn’t be able to do so if you’re working 9-to-5.

Starting this month, I will provide a monthly update on my status On the Pathway to Prosperity (OPP).  I will discuss where I’m at financially, and will discuss my progressions with my business ventures.  This will be a true journal of where I was…and where I’m going.

As of right now, I am 3 months behind on my rent.  However, I have up until April 9 to bring it up to date.  This is indeed a tall tale, but I will do everything in my power and in my resources to get the funds to pay it, so I can stay in my home.

Nonetheless, I feel that March will be the month that I make strides in my marketing efforts.  First of all, I recently started my campaign with ClickBank University.  This site will assist me with how to promote my affiliate websites.  At the end of the month, I plan to have at least 1 ClickBank sale.  I will use what I learn from CBU to promote my Uber referral site as well.  By the way, if you’re reading this and you need extra cash, becoming an Uber Partner is the best way to earn extra cash quickly.  You can also earn by referring other drivers. 

I also updated my personal website (which I hadn’t updated since July).  I have some new content that may be to the liking of internet marketers.  In a future blog, I will talk more about a new venture I’m promoting.  It’s called 150 Cash Magic and I plan to promote it to the fullest this month.


Life is always a challenge, but each day, I plan to do something to get me closer to my goal of FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE!
