Well, no one will ever accuse me of having nothing to say. I don't post much to my Warrior Forum blog, but one, it's nice to have a soapbox. It's almost like I can be alone with my thoughts here. According to the stats I just looked at, no one looks at my WF blog anyway.

Maybe I should put it in my sig file?

Actually, I finally took a look at the blog options tonight, because I was running out of room in my sig file, and was looking for a place to put more links.

Of course, if no one ever looks at, I don't know how much good it would do, unless, I just pointed my sig here and let the blog do the rest of the work for me.

A thought brews...

But I digress, I'm definitely an Internet Marketing Addict. I get a rush from waking up in the morning and finding money in my Paypal account. My 3 year journey this year found me at the road to decision.

It was time to create an actionable plan to use the internet to create passive streams of income. I drilled down to hardcore statistics, ran a few tests, and I have a solid plan make it all happen. Even if it is $7.00 at a time.

Well if someone with a very vested interest tells you that instant commission programs aren't putting marketers at "PayPal Freeze Risk"... you might want to take it with a grain, or even a pound of salt.

It seems I stirred up a hornets nest with my lastest WSO, "PayPal Has You By The Balls And They're Holding The Purse Strings..."

You see, in the guide, I go into my own suspicions on why PayPal has been on a witch hunt lately. And 15 years in FINANCE has given me, I daresay, a little more 'insight' than the mere 'speculation' others are accusing me of.

People selling an 'instant commissions' script have called me 'alarmist' and 'ill-informed.' I hardly think 15 years in FINANCE would qualify as ill-informed.

In fact, although I agreed in the thread that my beliefs are 'speculation,' looking back at what I base my belief on, is more like, conjecture.

Just to give you a little insight into what's in the guide... I talk about mitigating risk by spreading your income across multiple payment processors... this way if one freezes you, at least they aren't holding ALL your money when they do.

This is that 'finance' background again.

  • You see ALL payment processors can freeze your account.
  • ALL Payment Processors have a TOS
  • And ALL Payment processors interpret their TOS, as they see fit...

And your only recourse is to wait for them to release your money back to you...

Now, since PayPal is the ONLY processor that has an Adaptive Payments API, they are the only one that can do instant commissions! That's not going to do a whole lot to mitigate risk.

But if you want your money to be safe, you have to choose between instant gratification and convenience, or security in knowing that

Someone suggested that I was implying he was 'lazy' for not wanting to issue 1099s. I'm not implying that, but I can assure you that the investors who back these payment processors don't really cotton to the idea of our 'scammy industry' anyway, and to them, not keeping immaculate books, IS lazy...

It's also been suggested that my theory is shot in the foot because PayPal is the one who developed the Adaptive Payments API that allowed instant commissions... but Paypal is a relatively young company, and was probably short sighted in that development and now trying to mitigate their own risk associated with it.

So, all that said, if you want to read the controversial thread, or learn how to mitigate your risk... here's the link....


By the way, I've developed a plugin for that link. I'll be releasing it soon. Here's a video on how it works
