Saved by the bell
Author : Justin Boyce
Our company was primarly a supplier of computer hardware and
telecommunications products. However through our online dealing
with overseas and local companies we came across or were offered
to participate in several e type business opportunities. We also
tried a variety of sites including auctions and communities as
well as notice boards and forums. Anywhere we could think of to
get our name out there.In doing so we came across a number of
sites where we could actually earn revenue while advertising our
business and some of them were so automated it involved very
little input from us.
So we decided to investigate this further and started taking
part in online surveys ,research and focus groups and joining
affiliate programs thats how this site www.nzpcs.co.nz came into
existance .We ended up with a tangle of sites and links all
going different places and decided to centralise the ones that
were bringing in the best returns. Also some of them didn't fit
in with our core business and made our main site look
unprofessional .So we grouped what we considered the better ones
not always by the dollar value they returned .As the points we
earned in auctions were worth a lot more for advertising than
the money we could convert them into and gave us access to large
numbers of users that were looking for the same things we
provided.
Our experiance showed us that in a lot of cases the more
incentive that the sites offered to use their services the less
we would get back in return traffic or gains. We made it a rule
of thumb to check out any lead that showed itself on multiple
search engines and also to make the sites to investigiate a
higher priority if they didn't spam or send multiple emails
basically just rewording the same offer based on the principle
if their product was so good and the offer and returns true they
wouldn't need to resort to these tactics to get more sign ups.

All in all its been an interesting venture to date sometimes
frustrating, full of highs and lows when we felt we hit the
jackpot only to find we were heading down scam city road. I
personally avoid any sites that guarantee you set incomes of
unrealistic returns or where you are getting in on the end of a
trend. Money back warranties when they said they'd make you
1000s in a short period of time. (if they did, why would you
want your money back is beyond me ). Anyway I hope our
experiance is some value to you or helped to give you an insight
to the many opportunities on the net I shy away from dodgy
ventures as I believe Karma has a way of biting you back in the
butt. Anyway good luck to all with your ventures with
persistance and thought through research I feel there really can
be a pot of gold at the end of the internet rainbow.
