It was a crazy year at ZZ. Owners were even selling subs to get all three coins just for logging in. $3 per month was the average, with one site promising to increase that to $5 per month after 36 subscriptions had been taken. Team competition got fierce at times. Crazy, really. I guess, if John wants to rebuild, he's going to have to come up with something more exciting than a market just to change zubees to credits

Stellar Hits is back, seems to be the same owner. I will continue to warn people, because there are plenty of good and honest owners that deserve the support of our community. We gave him a second chance, and he scammed us and was vulgar and rude after that. No more chances from my side.

I nearly made that mistake a minute ago here Not concentrating in my rush. Fortunately, I did quickly check And, yes, it has the opposite of the intended effect if a mistake is made with this, I agree

Thanks Kevin You're very welcome. I'm glad you find it helpful. I've been using it for some time now, so I'm not sure why its still stuck in Labs, and I don't remember how I discovered it myself even

Hi Aditya I still have 2 payouts pending since November 2015. It was paying out okay up until then, and then stopped. Same story with their other site LoTraffic. I'm sad to see them still online.

I don't mind it if an offer is genuinely time sensitive, but now, I'll think twice about using it myself What bugs me is ads of "newly launched" programs that are already months old.

Great, thanks Greg, I'll look anyway

You're welcome Greg and Deborah. Greg, I wouldn't mind knowing also about these fancy mouse moves of yours This method is okay, it helps, but its limited to working only on consecutive emails. It doesn't work so well on search results.

Hi Kevin, yes I think, but in gmail. I found it in Labs some time back. From Settings to Labs to Enable Preview pane. You can then toggle, no, or horizontal or vertical. Sorry I'm not so familiar with anything else. I'm always in gmail

I have "easy mailers" and "tough mailers" that I use. The ones that I call easy are usually ones where I'm upgraded and have a lot of referrals. They're quick in and out mailers, and I use them most often. Then the ones I consider to be tough, I have to work for credits, but I expect and normally achieve better results with these. Often reserved for special occasions LFMVMS are quite easy to earn credits in because you can just open a lot of links at one time from the site itself, but mails that need to be clicked from the inbox, I use the vertical split pane on my individual folders so that the next mail opens automatically. Something I've been doing for ages, so I assume its not great secret and most others are too

Yayyy :-) I'm glad you like it. Thank you for your feedback, Brenton is a great admin, one who really cares about his members

If you go into marketing with zero expectations, and only the will to learn, you'll be right as rain lol

Of course, those who are promoting faucets will rave about them. I'm not against earning in that way. I've been trying to include some of this into my schedule too recently, and will continue to do so for the time being. But I don't enjoy this at all. I hate solving captcha and its probably made more tedious by my slowish internet connection. Nothing will replace TEs and Viral Mailers for me. But then, I'm not in them to surf for cash. I'm in them to advertise. The little bit of cash that comes from surfing or reading mails collects and goes toward things like hosting and tools. If I'm upgraded, I work to pay that off by promoting the site for enough commissions to cover it. The reason that I'm collecting some bitcoin (using faucets and doing some small promoting for referrals in them), is so that I can start to use that money toward my advertising. Already my paypal is drawing money for my existing subs from my credit card, while commission is coming into Payza where I'm still limited because they're so slow to process documentation. No payments can be done from there for the time being. Some TEs and mailers are accepting bitcoin, but I don't blame them if they're not paying out in bitcoin yet, because from what I hear, very few are using the option to make purchases with it. Is it a case of "chicken or egg first"

Its a such a great question. I read it yesterday, and then I did my normal gathering of credits, but this time, with your question in mind. For one, I find that any face on a page draws the eye to the ad. Then I also noticed that in almost every instance, that face is not just a pretty face, but it portrays a state of being. That is either a wholesome, healthy, happy look, Or the look of a successful business person. This is also something I noticed about the "happy family" look, the successful retired (wealthy) couple look etc. I've never really used any faces in my own designs (except my own from time to time, which is not the same thing lol), but now I can see why its done

Very well said Cristin

So all the TE industry would be left with is real marketers. That would be sad indeed

So he bums money for hosting, then posts this in the GlobalHits2u chat Does he think we're all stupid? James Colbert: I will be upgrading when I have some funds on my debit card Posted over 3 hours ago.

Hi Suman Unless you're talking about Stellar Hits days in Zubee's, you're either posting in the wrong thread, or misunderstanding something. James Colbert and Stellar Hits are finished with Zubee - he's been suspended (hopefully permanently).

Yes, James is a one of a kind though, aint no one like him lol Did you take a ticket/s?

The raffle idea makes me feel a bit uncomfortable to be honest. It seems to me that its an unregulated industry, and maybe even more so now that most sites aren't using paypal anymore. At least, people have had to invest in a script license, mods, graphics etc to start a site, or pay a price to buy an existing one. But the thought that just anyone with a spare $5 could by luck, acquire a TE complete with all that, plus 4000 members,,,,, I can't say I like that idea at all.

Good site, I second that recommendation

Wow, the badlist is long. I'm glad you posted this, thanks Allen

He jumped around many CTP teams, and 6 days ago, offered a team leader this: "Hi Teamie...I do NOT have a lot of money, but I share what I have...I have asked one of our teamies if he would take a KORE 4 upgrade if I pay for it...Ask other members in our team who will actually USE the upgrade to contribute to the team, and I will upgrade as many members as I can :-)" Since then he's on a different team. He's collecting many badges. His profile claims to have 5 CTP badges on Stellar Hits.......... There's a lot of milking going on, and I doubt we've seen the last of Stellar Hits.

Latest email from James Colbert: "Dear Members: In the interest of improving StellarHits.com and your surfing experience, StellarHits.com will shutdown effective immediately, for site improvments. This includes moving to a better server package; additional plugin additions; and, some site surprises I am sure you will all enjoy. The time frame for these upgrades is not currently known, but please know I am working diligently on finishing it all as soon as possible. May all of you have a blessed Happy New Year! :-)" What a smooth con lol

To spend more time with my kids, and show more interest in their school work.
