If you don’t have anything going on the night of March 31st, 2010 at 10:00pm CST (that’s USA central standard time for you non-US citizens), I would invite you to join me, Greg London, at Blog Talk Radio. You never know what you could learn. Financial education is something you should always be continuing to improve and grow upon on a regular basis.

I’ve been meaning to get something like this going for some time now. What I wanted to do was make it like a video conference. After realizing all the extra work that would take plus me not having the required tools to get something like that set up rather quickly, I’ve decided that a simple audio conference would suffice.

So you can join in on the conversation. It doesn’t matter what your financial background is, in debt, financially stable, or super rich. I plan on talking about a variety of subjects that will all make you richer regardless of your current financial situation.

There are certain characteristics that I believe you should have to being financially successful in life. I’ll discuss what these things are, you decide what you want to take advantage of. This can take place either now or in the future, it’s entirely up to you.

In case you can’t make this one, don’t worry, I plan on making this a monthly financial training. This is simply because you can’t cover everything in one 30 minute session. So keep an eye on my Blog Talk Radio profile to see when the next financial training will be online. You can either listen in, or participate and call in to ask questions, it’s entirely up to you.

I got my first payment from the  Panthera Network, a free affiliate network that pays their publishers on a cost per action basis and cost per sale basis. If you haven’t applied to become an affiliate publisher with them yet I would highly recommend doing so right away.

You need to have a blog or website that you own in order for you application to even get approved. A good thing is that it doesn’t matter what Country you’re from in order to join.

Everyone is welcome.

I love affiliate networks because they are free to join where as business opportunities or multi-level marketing businesses always require some sort of fee to get started along with a monthly payment.  The beauty of these affiliate networks gives you the potential to increase your monthly cash flow quite a bit.

Check from the Panthera Network for $50.80.

If you like the idea of joining free affiliate networks and never having to pay a monthly fee to make money, make sure to check out more free affiliate networks to join right away. About half way through the page you’ll find a list of free affiliate network sites to join.

Remember, there is no risk on your part at all.

I recently ran into a pretty cool, well designed sign up bonus site entitled Cash4Free. When I went through the sign up process I was asked to complete 2 offers in order to finish my sign up and hopefully get my sign up bonus. Luckily this wasn’t the case.

I did not complete two offers because one, I was short on time, and two, I don’t think bribing me to complete two offers is a good way to build your membership base there, Cash4Free.

After checking my back office, I see the $5.00 sign up bonus accredited to my account even though I didn’t complete the 2 offers prior to finishing sign up.

Anyway, beside this quick shortfall, I think Cash4Free has some potential since it pays a $5.00 sign up bonus and you only need to earn another $10.00 in order to get your first payment through them via Paypal. That’s only $15.00 total in order to cash out.

Cash4Free has a lot of free offers to choose from which I like. One really cool thing I like about them is that they don’t currently have an upgrade option. This is cool to me because it shows that they are keeping it simple. You sign up, complete free offers, make money. They never beg you to upgrade with them because they don’t have an upgrade option to bother you about anyway. That’s how I see it anyway, what do you think?

Find more free sites that pay you to sign up for doing tasks and let me know what you think.

Thanks to a Facebook friend of mine, I found out about site that pays you to complete various tasks online called My Easy Task. Most of the tasks simply require that you sign up through their referral and or affiliate link and they will split their commissions with you.

When you sign up for free with MyEasyTask, they will give you a $1.00 sign up bonus that you can use towards your first campaign with them. This means they pretty much want you to purchase advertising from them, but this is completely voluntary and you are not required to do this in order to reach your $10.00 minimum cash out.

It doesn’t matter what Country you’re from, meaning, anybody can join My Easy Task and make money. What kind of made me giggle was that I noticed that the Signupandmakemoney affiliate program is being promoted on My Easy Task. This is a good way to promote a site as long as the affiliate site you’re promoting is OK with it.I don’t know if my affiliate program will still be being promoted by the time you read this post or not. But I thought it was interesting.

I’ve noticed that a lot of members of My Easy Task tend to sign up multiple times on multiple offers. This is just the nature of the Internet, there are always people out there trying to take advantage of the system and screwing other people over.

Take a look at some more get paid to sign up bonus sites that are free to join and earn money from and let me know what you think.

I recently got my first payment proof from a great ad network called Chitika. I originally heard about Chitika from a blog advertisement. It basically said something about earning off putting targeted ads on your website. All you have to do is put some javascript on your website and the ads will only show when someone lands on your website from a search engine with keywords present.

How does it work?

Well, someone simply does a search on Google or some other search engine, and Chitika will go ahead and show ads on your site based off the keywords used in the search. This increases the likability of someone actually clicking on your ad because they will already be somewhat interested in what the ads have to say because they are looking for similar information already.

Paypal payment from Chitika for $12.44.

There really isn’t much to know about Chitika other than they are a great free ad site to promote. Take a look at some more free affiliate sites to promote online to increase income from your website.

If you haven’t heard of the Blastoff Network yet, you’re in for a real treat, or I should say a free treat. Just kidding. The reason I like Blastoff the most is because you not only get cash back on the shopping you do online, but you also get cash back off of all the people you refer to Blastoff, up to 9 levels deep. That can really add up. Since Blastoff is 100% free to join, I highly recommend it as a way to save money on your shopping efforts.

You can also organize all you favorite news and sport sites and customize the look and feel of your Blastoff page. But this really isn’t too important to me, but for you it may be something you’ll enjoy doing and keeping up to date on a regular basis. You can also take advantage of some free games and your favorite media streams. You can also link your Facebook and Twitter account to get your social networks connected.

Blastoff has partnered with Pre-Paid Legal as well as many other successful earning opportunities online. This shows that they are trying to get their name out there in a big way.

To learn more about Blastoff, check out this video that goes into detail everything they have to offer.

I got home yesterday and saw a check come in from Global Domains International. I thought to myself at first, this is great! But then I soon realized I’ve been with GDI now for well over a year. I can’t believe it took me this long to get my first $100.00 commission from Global Domains International.

I have to be honest, I haven’t been promoting my GDI business like I should’ve been promoting it. I’m not making excuses, it’s just that GDI was never a main focus of mine. I’m usually just focused on promoting my main sign up bonus site then in promoting individual programs, but this is me and what I think makes sense.

From what I can remember in my promotion efforts is that I would get a lot of people putting in their names and e-mail addresses to see the free GDI movie, but a super large majority of them would never go to the next level and actually take advantage of GDI’s 7 day free trial. I definitely made good use of the leads I got though. I would put them through a series of 3 e-mails, more if they continued to show interest in the .ws opportunity.

Check I received from GDI for $103.00.

So, am I saying that Global Domains International is not as easy of a home based business then most people make it out to be? I do have to say that I am. It’s true that there are some super duper internet marketers out there getting well over 5 sign ups a week, but at the moment, I’m not one of those marketers. I also believe most people that sign up for GDI are kind of in my same boat.

GDI has been around for awhile, their business opportunity is a great way to build residual income over time if you can get the numbers in. I do think their product is kind of losing its value though. There are so many better ways to get your own domain name and to build your own website using open source code and a separate hosting company.

The cost of a domain name is around $10.00 a year and most basic hosting plans charge around $50.00 a year plus another $20.00 for an e-mail address to go with your domain. Once you have these two things set up, you can very easily jump into a free open source code system like Wordpress or Drupal and have a professional looking CMS website with very minimal effort on your part in a very short time.

Let’s do the math on the two, shall we?

$10.00/mo x 12 = $120.00 a year for GDI’s website.ws services.

$10.00 domain
$50.00 hosting
$20.00 e-mail account

= about $80.00 a year elsewhere.

So you can actually save money not using GDI.

Then again, most hosting companies also have their own affiliate program through a third party network like Commission Junction or another network. This means you could very easily earn the cost of your hosting and domain plan back with an affiliate company and never pay a monthly fee.

These are things to think about. What’s your opinion?

I thought I would give you my quick opinions and stats on Unique Rewards since I’ve been a free member. This is a free to join site that gives you $5.00 just for signing up and up to another $5.00 for every active referral you bring it.

So far I have referred two active referrals earning my another $10.00 on top of my $5.00 sign up bonus. This means you could literally refer only 3 active members and be able to cash out. It’s easier said then done to do so though. I mean, what is Unique Reward’s definition of an active referral anyway? I guess this means the referral has completed a couple offers after initially signing up on the paid to sign up site. There is some good news to this though. If you refer someone and they only complete one offer, even if it’s only for 10 cents, you will automatically make $1.00 off that referral.

I have to tell you the truth, I haven’t done anything with Unique Rewards yet except post my affiliate link at the main sign up bonus list. I’m almost at my $20.00 cash out minimum. There are more ways of earning than just referring other free members of course. You can click on ads and make 1 cent per click. It doesn’t seem worthwhile for me, but for you it may be worth your time. Of course there are paid to sign up offers to take advantage of as well as taking surveys and some cash back shopping.

Unique Rewards also has an option to upgrade to a gold member. As always, I highly recommend to seriously do your due diligence before putting money into anything online. I personally have not upgraded. I’m just not active in Unique Rewards enough to see it being of any benefit to me. This may differ for you though. In my opinion, just taking advantage of the free earning opportunities is enough for me.

I was concerned at first on whether or not Unique Rewards did a decent job of keeping good stats on my efforts. I was happy to find that they do a pretty nice job. I say nice because it wasn’t anything too impressive, but it got the job done if you know what I mean.

Overall, I would have to say that Unique Rewards is an OK get paid to site. Check out some more get paid to sign up bonus sites and let me know what you think.

While I was on Christmas vacation I ran into a free system called Free and Powerful that will give you a free $50.00 sign up bonus after you complete their 3 required steps. When I ran into Free and Powerful for the first time, I ignored the site because it looked like GDI was involved and that was one of the required steps. Thankfully, you don’t have to pay and complete the GDI 7 day free trial in order to get the $50.00 sign up bonus. I thought to myself, “but if you’re already a GDI affiliate”, how can I go through all the required steps? Duh, what about existing GDI members?

The Free and Powerful team claims it will take you anywhere from 15 to 50 minutes to get your sign up bonus. It’s up to you if you are willing to put the time in. In my opinion, I’m a busy guy at times, so I haven’t completed my tasks to get the sign up bonus. I do know it’s working for some people because I’ve been hearing all the hype about this free earning opportunity all over the web.

If you are more of a video person, trust me, I am too. You can check out what Free and Powerful is all about by watching this short video.

Since this site if free to join, I recommend it as a free way to make money online. I do caution you to do your own due diligence if you are serious about spending any money on their upgrade option. I’ve noticed in my back office they are really pushing their members to upgrade their account to Power Flex or Power Stretch. I mean that is all you see in the back office. I don’t recommend upgrading your free membership. Though this is a cool site, this is also a new site, so you don’t know how long it will be around.

I also noticed that there are various free trial offers at Free & Powerful. You have to be careful when signing up on free trial offers, if you don’t cancel before the trial is up, you are pretty much screwed.

Take a look at some more free affiliate sign up bonus sites and let me know what you think of Free & Powerful.

I initially decided to write this blog post to help my Global NPN matrix members brainstorm on ways to get their Global NPN referral link out on the web so they can start getting sign ups. Remember, with Global NPN, you will only need to refer 2 other paid members in order for the membership to be free if you are at the PRO level. I’m not saying it’s easy, but I’m also not saying it’s going to happen by itself. You need to make the effort or else you’ll never sign anyone up.

These are not the only ways to promote Global NPN, because there are too many to mention. The number one question I get from new Global NPN sign ups is, “How do I get started?” This is why I am dispensing this information to you, whether you are in my matrix or not, this information will help you get the 2 needed paid sign ups to make all the advertising tools free and to produce a nice monthly residual income online with Global NPN.

When you first start off, you might tell your friends and family, but you’ll run out of prospects real quick if that’s all you do. This is why I like Global NPN so much, you can promote and advertise the business entirely online without ever actually having to talk to a single soul about signing up.

So, let’s get started, shall we?

Promote Global NPN in traffic exchanges

Traffic exchanges are a great way to promote anything for free. Global NPN has a special referral link made just for traffic exchanges. There are lots of traffic exchanges out there to choose from, here is my recommended list of traffic exchanges.

Promote Global NPN in Safelists

Safelists are yet another free way to promote your Global NPN referral link. There are currently 3 e-mail ads in your Global NPN back office you can use for these Safelists, or you can simply make your own.

Write blog posts and articles about Global NPN

Basically what I’m doing right now. Believe it or not, this blog post I’m writing is going to get thousands of hits during its lifetime from search engine traffic and definitely is not a waste of time in my opinion, plus I’m helping others at the same time. If you have a blog, great, if not, then the two blog platforms to choose from are Blogger and Wordpress.

Take advantage of Global NPN eCertificates

Global NPN’s eCertificates are the best way to get sign ups because you get 50% of the eCertificate back every time a referral uses one. So you buy one at $10.75. Someone signs up for the 30 day free trial with Global NPN and you get $5.00 back. So it’s basically like you’re paying $5.00 a sign up. If that member stays on for one more month, you now have gotten your entire eCertificate back and it cost you nothing. If that Global NPN member stays on after that, it’s all profit from then on out. This is why it’s most important to help the people you refer succeed with Global NPN so that they keep the membership for years to come.

Also, if you offer the 30 day free trial, this shows your prospects that you are very serious about Global NPN being the best business opportunity out there today and that you are willing to take a risk at your own expense because you know that after they have a free trial, it will make sense and they will keep the membership.

Make a video about Global NPN

Making a quick video of yourself explaining how Global NPN has made you money online or why it makes sense to you will dramatically influence others on why they would want to join themselves.  Plus it is a way for the undecided referral to connect with you on a different level. The video doesn’t have to be fancy and you can upload it to YouTube or another video network. See one of my Global NPN videos below:

Use the Global NPN url rotator to your advantage

Everyone that joins Global NPN directly under me is inserted into a Global NPN URL rotator and promoted at the main sign up bonus page. This is an extra incentive for joining through me. I don’t have to do this, but I want to help my matrix members any way I can. After I see two referrals under them, I remove them from the rotator so others can benefit.

After you get paid by Global NPN, show your proof of payment

It won’t take you long to get paid by Global NPN since you only have to earn $20.00 in commissions in order to get paid automatically on the 10th of the month. See a proof of payment I received from Global NPN.

Add Global NPN to your social network and forum profiles

What do I mean by this? Well every social network allows you to put a website as part of your profile. The social networks you should be building are Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in my opinion. Don’t ever try to promote Global NPN directly on these networks, but instead just do your normal every day things and have your Global NPN link or image link in your profile or forum signature.

Add Global NPN link to the bottom of your e-mails

Think about how many e-mails you send out every day. If you put a simple e-mail signature at the bottom with your Global NPN referral link on it, this will get you traffic to your site.

It could be something simple, like this:

http://globalnpn.com/?id=56437&tag= Online advertising tools!

Use the advertising tools that the Global NPN membership provides

You got an e-mail blaster that you can use to promote Global NPN with. You got url trackers to see how many hits you’re really getting at the traffic exchanges and safelists. Global NPN also offer plenty of solo ad resources and other ad resources in your back office. The autoresponder is for other businesses you’re currently promoting. All the sign ups you get through your capture pages are already put in an autoresponder for you. So that’s taken care of already. So Global NPN offers a lot of great ways to advertise your referral link online.

Like I said, these are free ways to promote your Global NPN referral link. If you feel like you’re ready to take it to the next level and have Global NPN residual income coming in, then I would start paying for advertising to build you business even faster.
