This is a fun topic lol. I go with name recognition, and the pic if it's there. If the opp looks really good or higher ticket, then I'll search for reviews and see who else is promoting it. If the person promoting something isn't familiar to me, I might give them my signup if they have a fairly active social profile or a good backstory. Everyone here started out as a clueless newb at some time lol - we can all remember how thrilling it was to get those first signups! So to sum up my feeling about pics.. Don't pay too much attention to it - I take it on a case by case basis depending on what's being promoted.

Sorry to hear you are going thru this Keep us posted... take care

Thank you for that clarification Darren! I'll just add a no-pitch update to the program and keep my referral link in signature

I have a question regarding the Program Thread... if there is a post already submitted for a particular program, but the post is more than a year old and the OP is no longer a member of said program, can we start a new post with our link on that program? I couldn't find this situation referenced anywhere in the rules. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I understand what you are saying completely, and their tactics seem scammy. However, Cliqly isn't technically a scam - they haven't taken off with anyone's funds - tho I've been reading that there is starting to be issues with timely payout. In order to get that $300 minimum payout, one is forced to buy more credits so they can continue to send out mailings everyday to get those ten cent clicks. There is a FB group of members who are still in Cliqly, but splintered off from the main group so they could educate others on what is actually involved with Cliqly. The group owner has been with them for over a year, and just recently started making some profit, after spending well over 13K dollars to get to that point. IMHO, they are unethical. I'm thinking the key word to use for them is spammy. What Cliqly is teaching, and encouraging, their members to engage in is pretty much outright spam tactics. There isn't an ability to engage with the list or build a rapport with it properly. When someone starts out, they get that 5K instant list plus the credits to email them to help build up the list. They start out by sending email to this hapless list of 5,000 ten times a day.. 10 times! This just doesn't sit right with me. Sometimes I feel 1x a day is being pushy with my list. Cliqly is doing a disservice to the list building world. I imagine a large portion of their membership don't know what is actually involved with building a quality, responsive and long-term list. So they join Cliqly, get an instant list, and spam all day long. That is a bad way to learn how to build a list.

Welcome to our group. You are new to make money online forums.. please ask here before you spend

The issue with Cliqly is that one has to keep paying in order to reach the 300 min. I have to also mention that one has no control over the list they give. There are places online that talk about in depth. If someone has a lot of funds to spend.. and doesn't want to really work this is the program. Send out for 10 cents per click.. and you don't own the list. Nuff said

Cliqly is not a scam.. I do have to state this.. they pay once you meet thier $300 minimum. I have to submit a warning. I joined Cliqly after I saw the terms they mentioned... make hundreds of dollars. You will need to spend a lot of money in order to make some bank with this system. There are alot of high powered movers saying they are making a thousand or more.. yeah.. they make a thousand if you upgrade. You do not own the list of people they give you.

This is the message I got when pressing "Send" I'll go ahead and send it off to you via SA4F

Hi! Tried messaging you and the system says I'm not allowed to. Feel free to send me a quick howdy and maybe I'll be able to respond. Otherwise, I could try sending you one thru SubmitAds4free, since you're my sponsor there? If you do send me a message, let me know what you prefer for contacting you... Cris

For others looking at this program... I had a question on the signup process that I couldn't find on the BEW site, so I called their # and the owner, Martin answered and helped me. I'm not used to that happening with larger, established companies.

May I send you a message? I have a couple of questions on advertising, and am also thinking of signing up for a couple of the other programs you are promoting. If you would prefer I ask them here... no problem!

Hi Cacey! Welcome to the forums. I love the San Diego area.. went to school in La Jolla many many moons ago I've found there's lots to catch up on and learn in here... have fun!

Welcome ProsperKam! I'm pretty new here also. If you go thru the past forum posts on here you'll find lots of gold nuggets worth of wisdom, experiences and knowledge!

This sounds pretty interesting. I've been trying to find something that my mom can jump in on.. she's 82 and still pretty sharp. IM and list building overwhelms her some, but this looks like something I can work with her on. Is BEW still worthwhile to join and upgrade in? Last post here was about year and a half ago. Either way, I went ahead and signed up under you and will upgrade on Tuesday after the holiday. I like the 50% down option

I realize I'm bumping this almost 5-year-old topic up, but I was pretty shocked when I read thru the whole conversation and have a question... Has anything changed, for better or worse, since the last post in 2022? I've been quietly online since the very early days and was always aware of Matthew and his projects. But never joined them. I had recently come across his 1K List Challenge and the PowerHourTraffic system. Decided to join up and see what was under the hood. Have upgraded in 2 of his stable of sites.. And have been promoting PowerHourTraffic the past couple of weeks. Since I'm in my list re-building stage after being out of the loop the past couple years, I'm trying to be careful about what I promote to my list. And to tell the truth, a good portion of my fledgling list is made up of folks who joined under my PHT promotions. Based on what I have read here... well, I don't feel good about it. In his FB group, he seems to be very supportive. And the training he gives for the 1K Challenge is very well put together. But now I go in there and can't get my mind past his lack of apology/reparation/acknowledgement for his previous wrongs. For those that lost their investments and commissions, have any of you ever gotten your money back? Has Matthew ever tried to make amends with any of you? Here's a list of his sites that can all be automatically joined from the PowerHourTraffic back office. He just finished an offer to upgrade in all of them for 297.. which I didn't go for. According to his plans, he is going to add a new site every month.
