Just wondering who is cashing out monthly... I'm still building my account level to the point I want it to be at before I start cashing out monthly. I started out with $50 and I'm not up to $80. At the end of the month once I go over $100 I will probably begin cashing out. I'm sure someone here is making bigger change than that off of this site though, success stories?

Oh ya, if you want to sign up, pm me for a ref link =) I'll explain the process to you.

haha, invest some money in it or it'll be awhile before you see anything. the $50 I used was money from cool4free so it really didn't cost me anything.

how much do you have to put in on average to actually make a decent profit.......i assume it takes a lot if you wanna try to live off it right?

mrdelayer

15-07-2005 01:43:49

probably way too much. what if you open like 20 firefox tabs of the Surf STV page and just leave firefox running for a week?

theysayjump

15-07-2005 01:45:19

i think i tried that, but you can only have one page open at a time.....if you log into one page, it logs you out of another i think.

and i also think there is a limit to how many sites you can surf a day isnt there?

If you are dilligent about it you make 30-31% of your account balance each month. You make 1% per day. Not to mention you get 5% of every referrals added funds.

So lets say you wanted 500 a month off of it, you'd need to invest about 1500-1600 for that.

You'll break even in 3 months and make pure profit after that.

It's obviously a piramid scheme though and you have to decide how much you feel comfortable investing. It has been around and paying out for at least a year now so as long as people trust the place with their money the pyramid won't collapse.

i'm not big on the pyramid schemes. plus it seems to be a little slow on the money making. i can make 500 a month doing free sites and selling the stuff on ebay P

I have $90 in one account and $220 in the other. If you are smart you have two account (which is legal) so you get the refferal commision from one. I haven't cashed out yet. In a month, i think i will cash out what i put in ($120) and then compound to an account level of at least $1000

- This has been discussed before. It is not a pyramid or ponzi scheme of any kind. Perfectly legal in the US as long as you declare your earnings in your taxes
- Yes there is a limit to what you surf each day. The more you invest, the more you earn. But definitely do not put any more in than you are comfortable with
- The company has actually been around for over two years. By my husband's calculations, it will last another several years at least and then collapse. But by that point I'll have received many times my investment so it doesn't matter D Plus, he did not factor in any of their side businesses. If any of them are a success who knows what could happen
- Having two accounts and balancing them is a smart idea
- In a few months this will be my main source of income D

Then don't haha. Some people upgrade purely by the "free" money they get - you get 10% of any amount your referals upgrade by. So if someone you refered upgrades by $1000, you get $100 in your account just like that. I believe that's what FON has done...

Well, I haven't cashed out yet...but it won't be long until I start. Though, I may continue to upgrade while I withdraw...its not like once you withdraw you can never upgrade. That said I haven't put any money into my account, and I'm at $270. I'll be up over $375 by next month.

lol.

Godrock, it's not a pyramid scheme, you're right, it's more like the stock market and StudioTraffic is a single stock. When studiotraffic adds to your account balance from surfing, the funds come from everyone's pool of initial deposits. If everyone tried to cash out at once studiotraffic would go under, but since this probably won't happen soon because everyone wants more more more, you are pretty safe with this site. Also, the site needs a steady flow of deposits from either new or old accounts to stay running, but like I said, old users keep depositing money so they can make more more more, and new users come along often.

So you haven't upgraded your account except the $10 you start out with? Thats awesome for you. Is all that profit from your referrals? also, when your referral upgrades, I know you get a % of that. but is that just once, or do u get a % every single time they upgrade?

If a person signs up under you, you get 10% of every time they add funds. Some people invest thousands into this so you can get lucky if you pick the right referral.

I've heard of people taking out loans for this.

For those that are broke or still don't feel comfortable putting money into it sign up and start surfing anyway. You earn free money and credits to display your ref links for basically doing nothing but starting the autosurf page. Very easy.

And if you don't think you can make any money even if you don't have any to put in you are wrong. I personally haven't put any money into my account (I tried with credit card once but had problems with it and it never went through) and although I am completely comfortable with putting my money in there, I don't have a lot to spare right now. That being said I do have a good number of referrals and some of them are very active. To give you an idea, Just this month I have earned $506 so far in just referral commissions (10% of what they have upgraded this month). That is on top of the money I am earning for surfing daily. As of the first of next month I will have an account level at about $1,800 that I didn't put a penny of my own money into. For those slow at math, I will then earn $18 every day that I surf next month or about $540 a month. Although I wouldn't mind withdrawing that every month, I am compounding everything to build my account as much as possible.

So if you don't think it is worth it to sign up even if you don't have cash, reconsider what you can do with just referrals alone ;).


BTW I have various "contest" and drawings for my downline (referrals) and give some of them cash and other cool things so if you haven't singed up yet and want to sign up under me let me know ;).

Also, if you still don't think this is legit, spend a few minutes browsing the "i've been paid" forum on the studiotraffic site and you should be inspired in no time lol.

Here is my eassy in regards to these surf to get paid sites. Though it if for 4daily the basic idea still applys to sites such as studio traffic.

4 daily analyses


So some people may have come across sites such as 4 daily and studio traffic that promise a certain percentage of your investment if you surf their sites. 4 Daily offers a 4% return daily while studio traffic promises a 1% return daily. 4 Daily investment upgrades last for a period of 50 days which when calculated turns out to be a 200% return in 50 days. Studio Traffic does it at a much slower pace; in a year you make 365% of the original investments. How do these sites sustain?

Well I have personally taken a look into the logical of these sites. I have broken it down into a few categories in which they make money. These ideas are based mainly on the 4 daily sites.

1. New members pour in money in hopes of making a big return
2. A minor portion is made from people wanting to advertise their sites on these auto surfers
3. People forgetting to surf

So taking into perspective the first idea. These sites can somewhat be described as a pyramid scheme. It can be put that if they are unable to get new members then the site will fail no matter what. Cause it is impossible for the sites to pay a 200% return every 50 days, I mean banks don’t even offer a 5% interest rate. So in all essences the sites need to continue to grow in order to remain profitable, but in the end there will be a lot of people getting screwed over while only a few people have gained anything from the site.

The second point brings in little profit. These auto surfer programs are an un-idealistic way to advertise a site. Some people may utilize these auto surfers to get more hits to their sites, but most company will not use these sites if they want to gain valuable customer.

Now number three is a major aspect to how the site is able to sustain. This point would only be applicable to the 4daily site. Since the daily percentage is so high if you forget to surf a day or even a week it can save the site a great deal of money. Lets say you maxed out your account and you are earning $400 a day by surfing the site, well if you forget for an entire week the site has just saved itself $2800.

Looking at these few points it should be concluded that if these sites do not gain new members it will utterly fail. 4daily claims it has a total of 88,150 verified members, that figure may be big but also take into consideration this site is only 6 month old. In my opinion it still has great potential to grow, as it has not hit its peak. To me it will remain a worth investment for at least 2-3 more years, after that there is not telling what may happen. I personally would not invest a lot of money into it, currently I am only putting in little amounts of money and waiting it to duplicate. In a way these sites philosophy can be applied to the stock market in a few days. Apple (AAPL) would be an excellent example of this; the P/E of AAPL has remained relatively high over time. As long as investors continually invest in AAPL the stock will have a lot of potential to continue going up (generally speaking), but if investors stopped investing in AAPL then the stock will tumble. So applying this to 4daily, if it loses all investors then it will collapse, but if it gains more investors then it will continue on its path.

In conclusion I believe that these sites will sustain for only so long. After that the site will collapse due to lack of new investors. My advice is if you want to invest a lot of money then only do it for the 50-day period, but if you were to invest a bit of money (~$50-$200) then you should use leave it there longer.

CoMpFrEaK that makes sense but one thing people seem to forget is that everyone continues to be investors since the upgrades expire. That is also part of how the sites continue to grow and fuction. If you upgraded once and it lasted forever it would kill the sites but since they expire, people need to reinvest to keep the same account levels.

And as people have pointed out, the smart sites like studiotraffic are earning money from all the members. You now have to use studiopay to withdraw your money, which is the same company and you are charged a small percentage fee. That fee gets recycled back into the company as a whole.

Although I have been leary about really using 4daily for some reason, I don't have any doubts that studiotraffic will be around for a long time to come.

Studio Traffic will be around longer then 4daily but in the end it will go down to. Harder to go down yes, impossible no. As sson as new investors lose faith in these sites then it will not survive.

Compfreak, I didn't read that whole long post of yours, but Studiotraffic pays out more than 365% a year for your initial investment. It compounds monthly. $100 invested initially will become $2330 by the end of the year if you surf daily.

Exactly! So studio traffic will go broke if it does not get new members investing in its programs. I mean credit card interest isnt even that much.
