And I’d also like to take this time to note that I am busy with school, but still thinking about the blog. I’m planning to update some pages and adding some new content in the near future.

Again, sorry about the downtime, and thank you for reading!

Sorry for the bad news! I hope we will actually see the money we invested in this program. Only time will tell…

Just wanted to share some quick updates with everyone!

- QuickRewards has launched a blog to establish a greater personal relationship with its users. On the blog are new, easy offers (and access to blog-reader-only offers), website/company updates, sneak-peaks at the new QR, and more. Check it out.

- I’ve temporarily removed the “Contact” form because of an excessive amount of spam bots that are spamming me. For now use the Comments if you’d like to get in touch with me! I’ll try to get another contact form up soon.

- Blingo is having $1,000 giveaway Thursdays (tomorrow!), so sign-up and check out Blingo if you haven’t! You can also see the prizes I’ve won and read more about it on my Portfolio page.

I hope all are having a wonderful Holiday Season! I just wanted to drop a quick note letting you guys know that I will be updating several pages on the site this coming week, and to please utilize the Contact form if you have any comments or suggestions on how I could improve the blog.

And for some news:

- Anything4Free forum is down at the moment with no posted ETA

- PayPerPost issued an annoucement about their new policy requiring their bloggers to disclose their sponsorship status. Read more

- The Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3) sent me an e-mail encouraging me to submit a complaint regarding the Studiotraffic/Studiopay scam.

If you have been victimized by either of these companies please file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at the following website:

http://www.ic3.gov/

Please reference Studiopay as the subject of the investigation when filing your complaint. Provide as much detail as possible pertaining to monies invested, individuals contacted, method of contact (telephone, mail, E-mail etc…), amounts, and dates of payment and any amounts received from Studiopay. If possible, include dates of contact, the Studiopay employees contacted and brief summaries of the conversations.

Stay tuned for more easy money making information, website reviews, and proof pictures so we can all start the new year on the right foot!

Firstly, I’m thinking of adding a couple writers to the site so I can expand EZMU’s news coverage over more money-making opportunity niches and increase the number of “home-grown” articles. With that, I’m looking to add an Article Directory to accomodate more articles and possibly a new proof picture gallery with a feature for users to upload their own pics.

In addition, I think this blog would benefit from a newsletter so that all the biggest news and opportunities of the month are condensed into one source, instead of having to read all the posts, etc. I will likely implement that as soon as I find a decent mailing list script – so far I’ve tried two and haven’t particularly been overjoyed with either. If anyone has any recommendations that’d be great.

Finally, I’m going to do some minor design tweaks that should make the site more viral (that’s the name of the game these days isn’t it?) and user-friendly.

And here’s a little teaser before I let you go – keep your eyes peeled because I have a new feature coming out that no money-making opportunity blog has ever done before. I’m here to prove to you that this blog is not about getting you to sign up for opportunities that don’t work out, scam, or are plain stupid. Easy Money Universe is for real, and I’m going to do everything to prove it to you guys and girls.
Sorry for the long post! Thanks for reading.

And hey, with the updates comes my new salutation:

Auto-surf-money has been forced to temporarily close due to the restrictions placed upon it by other processors, such as Paypal and e-Gold.

As a result, there is currently no way to receive or payout funds from eProfitWorks. We believe the the most fair and logical way to handle this situation is to do as follows:

eProfitWorks will be temporarily closed effective Monday, March 27

The operations staff will then begin reviewing the database to calculate refunds for all members to which they are due.

A refund will be due if the amount you have spent from outside funds is greater than the amount you have cashed out. Purchases made from account earnings are not eligible for refund. Following this process, all accounts will be reset to zero so that we can restart with a clean slate. All members currently in free status will be deleted prior to this process to minimize the amount of data being worked with Refunds will be issued via ASM company check. Please complete your member profile in ASM so a check can be mailed to you if you are due a refund.

If you have purchased upgrades via Stormpay previously, you will be receiving an email with the amount that is being held in escrow for you.

eProfitWorks and ASM will remain offline until all development work is complete. Once complete, an announcement will be sent to all members and the sites will reopen. At this time, we are unable to give you a timeframe, however, we are doing our best to minimize the downtime.

Please do not submit support tickets regarding this issue.

Despite what they say, these guys are not coming back…yet another scam for the auto-surf industry. If you were scammed you may want to report Auto-Surf-Money’s payment processor accounts (e-gold, Paypal, EMO) so that their accounts may be frozen from withdrawls.

As many of you have seen already (by the way the fax machine is running out of ink) we’ve added our Member Agreement and Tax documents into the back office, and it IS mandatory that you send this information in in order to be paid. We MUST document your earnings for tax purposes and so that we may send out the appropriate documents prior to Jan 30th of 2007.

Secondly, as you’ve seen on the Member Agreement form, our LLC. license has come through, and we will begin changing all references of the company from North Shore Media to W3MA, LLC. [World Wide Web Marketing Association] starting tomorrow.

AlienTrust has also setup a shop, which is still up in the air as far as I can see. But on a very positive note, it seems that AlienTrust is stepping up its image as an advertisement company rather than a typical auto-surf, as Vince so directly mentioned: “This is an advertising business not an autosurf – there’s plenty of places where you can go be complacent – this ain’t one of them.”

Below is the rest of AlienTrust’s update.

Good Evening Everyone,

As most of you have already noticed we’ve made some very large changes in the website to make things better and smoother for all.

But before I get into the Updates there is a very important announcement.

ON MARCH 28, BETWEEN 3AM AND 5AM SERVER TIME THE DATABASE WILL BE LOCKED FOR MAINTENANCE.

Our Techs at RackSpace will be installing some database replication so that we can ease the load on the server, and smooth the Ad Viewing and login problems.

YOU CANNOT VIEW ADS DURING THIS TIME SO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO VIEW AT A DIFFERENT TIME – THERE WILL BE NO CREDITS ISSUED FOR THIS DOWNTIME.

Ok – now on with the updates.

As many of you have seen already (by the way the fax machine is running out of ink) we’ve added our Member Agreement and Tax documents into the back office, and it IS mandatory that you send this information in in order to be paid.

We MUST document your earnings for tax purposes and so that we may send out the appropriate documents prior to Jan 30th of 2007. This does not stop you from earnings commissions through viewing ads, or on your affiliate sales, and you may still transfer to your holding account, but we MUST have this information before we can issue a payout through E-Gold moving forward.

This would be mandatory in a few days anyway because this is all information we would need to send out the Virtual Money cards. So – don’t panic folks – it’s all part of the plan.

Secondly, as you’ve seen on the Member Agreement form, our LLC. license has come through, and we will begin changing all references of the company from North Shore Media to W3MA, LLC. starting tomorrow.

For those of you NOT in the know – W3MA stands for World Wide Web Marketing Association. We’ll begin changing over the support site within the next day or so as well.

We’ve also solved the issue that many folks raised concerning not being able to view all the ads during a session PRIOR to selecting one for their survey.

The Survey this Ad Link will now be shown throughout the duration of your session and you’ll simply Update your vote if you come across a site you like better than the one you’ve previously voted for – very simple.

The shopping cart is up – albeit not designed or filled with stuff yet – we’re going to be working on the design over the next week. We won’t be adding any product until get some pics taken of all the gear that should be here on Friday. You can go create an account though if you want and poke around. The payment ifno is LIVE so don’t buy any of those test products in there – YOU WILL be charged if you try to make a purchase. The shop is at http://shop.alientrust.com

We spoke last week about folks NOT entering URLS for their purchased Ad Buys and we decided to take a very firm stand. We’ve added some validation and a stern message on the page, but inevitably there will be someone who wants to test me – my advice would be NOT to do that.

We will refund you and delete your account – period. This is an advertising business not an autosurf – there’s plenty of places where you can go be complacent – this ain’t one of them. So if you wish to stay here – put your ad in. Nuff said.

I’m sure there’s some stuff I’m forgetting – oh yeah – for added security we’ve added the feature that you can no longer change your payment id in your profile. Believe me this is NOT something we wanted to do because it simply creates more work for the staff, but you will now need to hit the Billing Dept – through the Support Desk to change your payout id. Hopefully these idiot hackers will go pester someone else since they can’t hack in and re-route anyone’s egold account.

I’m sure there’s more but I’m exhausted and I still need to get into the forum for a bit.

Thanks everyone and have a great night.

Vince
