ZNZ...Scam or Legit?

This explanation was written to help people understand exactly what type of marketing ZNZ is, and how we get paid with it...

Let me start this by quickly answering the question everyone wants to know; “Is ZNZ a scam or an opportunity to work from home?” ZNZ is not a scam and you can actually profit from it quite well. 

Now that that’s out of the way, I do want to go over step by step exactly how this program works. By the end of this post everyone should understand why it is not a scam, and that ZNZ never receives your credit card numbers at all when you complete the offers, and why you have to complete the offers at all. 

Bear with me if this gets a bit long, as I want to ensure no one is confused at the end of this. ZipNadaZilch is actually affiliate marketing, and affiliate marketing is one of the most legitimate work from home opportunities available. 

An “affiliate” goes out and markets for other companies to receive a commission, basically we sell other peoples products/services. This is also referred to as Cost Per Action, (or CPA). These companies (like FreeCreditReport.com) are willing to pay a “Cost” to receive a specific “Action.” Let me use a few scenario’s to help better explain this process.

Let’s continue using FreeCreditReport.com for the sake of this example. As we all know companies like this spend billions in marketing every year (we’ve all seen the annoying commercials) in an attempt to get more customers. They always boast about a “free trial” on television because they are always offering this promotion. However, no matter how much they spend on marketing, they are never guaranteed that these advertising dollars will pay off, often times they take a loss. 

This is why CPA became so popular many years ago. Companies like this decided that another way to invest their money would be to pay a specific “cost” to anyone who would deliver a specific “action.” 

Clearly this removes any gamble from their marketing budget as FreeCreditReport knows exactly what they’re getting for this money. They are literally being handed a potential customer and we are handed the opportunity to work from home .

Let’s look at this in motion….FreeCreditReport.com makes public to all affiliate marketers that they will pay thirty five dollars to any one “affiliate” that delivers a prospective lead. 

So we have established the companies “cost” which is thirty five dollars; now they tell the affiliate that in order to receive this money the new prospect has to provide a phone number, name, address, and credit card, (now we have established the “action” required). 

So affiliates like myself, you, or ZNZ can sign-up on their site as an “affiliate” and start marketing using specific links and banners they provide for us. Then when someone stumbles onto one of our links somewhere in cyberspace and takes advantage of this “free trial", FreeCreditReport.com will pay us thirty five dollars. 

This is affiliate marketing and CPA at its best.mNow ZNZ took this one step further and decided they would promote these companies by making it a work from home opportunity. The idea is truly ingenious.

Zip Nada Zilch One went out and signed up with many different companies (as an affiliate) who were all willing to pay the same “cost” to receive the same “action.” (name, phone, address, and credit card) Then they created the website with the videos, tools, and training necessary for other “affiliates” to market this work from homeopportunity for twenty dollars a lead. 

Their only requirement was that we first become one of these “leads” and then we are free to market as much as we want using all of their tools.

Now with all this knowledge on affiliate marketing and cost per action you maybe wondering why you would go through ZNZ One and not just sign-up directly with FreeCreditReport.com to receive the full amount. Valid question; as an affiliate marketer I do promote for several companies besides ZNZ. 

However, the big advantage with ZNZ is that they provide the video presentation for me and they do pay me daily. I love that part simply because every other company will only cut a check once a month, and then they require a minimum of one to two hundred dollars before they will cut a check at all. ZNZ is willing to wait for their money and they are the ones who set up with many different companies bettering my chances of converting one into a lead. 

In other words, instead of me just trying to sell someone on a trial of FreeCreditReport.com to get paid, they can choose one of many other companies and I still get paid that day, rather than a month down the road. It truly is easy money everyday!

I hope this clears up any questions.  

If you haven't had a chance yet, be sure to watch the informational video on the second page at www.confessionssahm.ws.  

Then let me know by email (jami@confessionssahm.ws) and I will send you step by step instructions before you start Steps 1 and 2. 

Good luck!

Any questions?

Not always a winner...

Well, I'm disappointed...

Just found out one of the Pay to Click (PTC) sites I've been using is a scam. TwoDollarClick was too good to be true.  Now, I have had luck with several of these PTC sites, my current one being InBoxDollars. The penny clicks take a while to add up, but it does happen, lol.  I should have known $2 per click was fishy!  Live an learn!!!  Just makes me even more thankful for ZNZ and GDI!

These are Real from ZNZ and GDI!

So my friend Sarah is the reason I started checking into ZNZ and GDI.  She signed up and started making money right away, and after investigating I signed up too!  She is constantly posting pics like this one...

Can you see why I was intrigued? LOL

Being able to work from home is such a blessing!!!

Residual Income with GDI

Ahhh, everyone's dream...residual income, with little to no work. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Yeah, I thought so, too. I've never been a fan of any type of pyramid structure companies, but since it goes hand in hand with ZNZ (you can learn more about that HERE), I did want to check it out.
Here's what I found out...

GDI (Global Domains International) lets you buy a domain name for as little as $10 a month.  Now, we have a domain name thru Go Daddy already for my husband's company, and we only paid a one time fee, so I automatically hesitated at the monthly fee.  How can you make money, by having to pay a fee?  But after reading up more, I understood a little better. 

You're paying for the service itself (not the ability to make money from it), and it's something you actually need for marketing. You have to have a hosting company when you have your own website. Most places will charge you extra, GDI doesn't.  They also give you 10 business emails you can use. But why do you need all of this? 
Simply put...advertising. More often than not, when a person sees a link to your marketing page for ZNZ, if they see it's a referral link, they are automatically suspicious.  Advertising on Craigslist is really hard too, because they automatically read referral links as spam and will flag your ads. Wouldn't you be much more likely to click on (and remember) confessionssahm.ws instead of keymarketingnetwork.com/jadco123?  It looks more legitimate, too.  And the emails come in handy when trying to keep your ads from being "ghosted" on Craigslist (more on that later).

But how do you make money?  Well, you earn 10% of the cost of each person you get to sign up through your link.  So, if someone signs up for the $10 a month plan, then you would get $1, but not just once, you get it monthly.  Now that's not much, but you then get $1 for everyone they sign up, too. And if their sign ups get sign ups you get $1 each for them, too.  All the way down for five levels.  Now depending on how many sign ups everyone gets, that can be some serious cash.  Even just having one or two go getters under you will really add up.  I love this little picture to help show just how much you can make if you get five sign ups and then they get five, and so on...

So you could make over $3000 a month if everyone in your down line got just FIVE people to sign up.  Think of the possibilities of getting even more people...

And you don't have to advertise GDI exclusively with ZNZ.  If you know someone just looking to build a website (they also offer a free website builder once signed up), or switch hosting companies, or buying up domain names to redirect to their current website, you can refer them to GDI as a service/product.

All in all, I actually do like the possibilities and ease of use with GDI, so go ahead and CHECK IT OUT for yourself!

ZNZ Step 2

Hello!  Sorry it's been a few days!  I'm still trying to cram in as much time with the kids as I can before school starts.  It's been a crazy busy summer!

Alright on to step 2 in ZNZ...Big Cash!

For those of you who haven't read my previous posts explaining what ZNZ is, check out THIS POST.

Once you finish Step 1, you will want to click on Step 2.
This step also requires 1.00 credits and the offers are not worth as many credits this step.  Why?  That's because with Big Cash the payout is bigger!  You go from $20 per referral to $60 plus bonuses per referral.

One thing I always want to remind you of... There is a place at the top of the screen (on ZNZ ONE and ZNZ Big Cash) that will tell who you are being referred by.  If it says you are not being referred by another user, contact your sponsor (the person you signed up under, or directed you to the site).  They can get this fixed, but it has to be done early in the process.

Ok, so I had to complete a total of 8 offers to complete this step.  Sounds like a lot doesn't it, lol?  It really didn't take that long, and some of the offers were ones I actually had seen and wanted to try.

Here's a breakdown:

• Hydroxatone (beauty product)---.25 credits, $1.99 shipping, 30 day trial
• Bellaplex (beauty product)---.25 credits, $1.99 shipping, 30 day trial
• Cooking Pleasures Santuko Knife---.20 credits, $8.95 shipping, membership trial
• eMusic (music downloads, free $10 gift card)---.05 credits, $0, 7 day trial
• Upromise (earn $ for your kids' scholarships through using shopping cards like Kroger, etc)---.05 credits, $0
• American Consumer's Health (health discount card)---.15 credits, $1.95, 10 day trial
• Your Online Quote (auto insurance)---.10 credits (this did not credit, but in small print this was a warning, and I tried it anyway), $0
• Vista Print (business cards, etc)--- .10 credits, $7.09 (shipping on 500 FREE business cards)

Now, keep in mind that there are lots of other offers, Netflix, Gamefly, coffee sites, all kinds of things.  These were just the ones I was personally interested in.   After trying out the products or services, make sure you cancel the memberships if you don't want them, before the trial is up. I flubbed a bit on one.

We don't download enough music to justify keeping the eMusic, but I was wanting a couple of albums, and wanted to see how much they would be after I got the $10 gift credit.  Well, they were super cheap, but I procrastinated downloading them, and the next thing I knew I had an $11.99 charge on my debit card.  I had been thinking it was a 30 day trial, and had somehow disregarded the alert I had in my phone reminding me to cancel it.  Sure enough, on day 7 they had charged me.  Now, when you get charged, you no longer have the $10 credit, but your $11.99 credit.  So I was able to get both albums, because of the low prices, but I would love to have used the credit and made sure to have cancelled in time.  Lesson learned...don't procrastinate! LOL

I had a grand total of 1.05 credits and was able to go on to Step 3!  This is the easiest step of all (no offers), you are basically just filling in information so they can set up your marketing page and get you your links and banners to advertise with (all totally FREE).

I want to take just a few seconds to explain a couple of things...

I did spend a total of $21.97, but I really wanted to check out the kitchen knives and get the business cards.  There are several free or lower cost offers I could have tried.  Sometimes these do meet their daily maximum quickly, but they reset at midnight EST, every day.  So I could have went much cheaper, even free, and YOU can, too.  Just one referral sign up will more than pay for anything you get through the offers.

You can check out the informational video after logging in to my capture page HERE.  Just fill in your name and email (phone is optional), watch the video and then check your email box.  I will send you two emails to walk you step by step through steps one and two and then subsequent emails for the rest. It never hurts to CHECK IT OUT...

First Step in Earning Money From Home

I told you in THIS POST how i signed up with ZNZ\Key Marketing Network to start earning money from home.  Now, I'm going to describe my start to this little venture that I hope grows into something amazing. Going by my friends' testimonies it won't take long!!!

Step One  

Ok, to have Step One completed, you have to earn a total of 1.00 credits. On this first step, almost every offer is worth one credit, so it's super easy to complete.

I personally signed up for Equifax's Free Trial. My husband and I are going to look into buying a new home next year, so I was interested in learning my credit score. And it not only gives you Equifax's score, but the top three credit reporting agencies. I actually found where they showed two of our old credit accounts open that were actually closed. So all I have to do is fill out a simple report, they check for the facts and will correct the issue. And my score will go up a few more points!

Now, the free trial is for thirty days, and to keep your credit you have to keep it for at least 25 of those days. I'm going to probably cancel my membership after my 25 days because I don't think I would use the service enough to justify the cost. And as long as I cancel it by day thirty, there's no charge!

So, go CHECK IT OUT  for yourself! After you enter your information on the capture page, watch the video. I'll send you two emails to walk you through the process step by step (check your junk mail, if it's missing). There's no harm in looking!

P.S.
After you sign up, every one of your referrals that completes Step One for you, will be $20 in your pocket!  And Step Two is even more!

Here's the PROOF!

Did the picture get your attention? Yeah, it got mine, too! I saw where a Facebook friend of a friend, posted a similar picture on her wall (this is her picture, too, so it's definitely real). I was very curious, and at first glance thought maybe she had been hacked, until I read her attached post about the work from home opportunity she was doing.  I was still a little leery, though.  But the next day, a girl I knew personally had signed up and was already starting to make money.

So, I decided to go ahead and click on my friend's link, and see what it was about. After watching the video and then emailing her, I was convinced to at least start researching it. The first thing I did was check with the BBB.   On a scale of A+ to F, they scored an A.  Not too shabby!  I also did a search for reviews and saw that there were many more positive than negative.  Soooo, i signed up! But, what is it, exactly?

Affiliate marketing. Basically, a big company, say Netflix, pays for advertising on TV. But they can't really guarantee that anyone will look at that commercial and visit their website or try their service.  So they started paying companies to find people who would click on their website and sign up for a service, even just a free trial. They have a better chance of getting new customers that way.  And that's what ZipNadaZilch (ZNZ) does. They pay us to find people to sign up for these offers. All they require is that we sign up first.

 Do the offers cost anything? Well, they range from FREE to $49. I personally paid around $20 total between the two steps, but there were some products that I was actually wanting to try. I'm going to do a run down on another post of the offers I completed. I will let you know that the first step, ZNZ One, my offer was a Free Trial, so I didn't have to pay anything to actually get started.

You have two steps you complete at the beginning, ZNZ One and ZNZ Big Cash. Once these are completed you fill out information for your marketing page and they will give you a link for you to advertise and sign up your own referrals. Once your new referral completes ZNZ One, you will be paid $20, and after ZNZ Big Cash you get paid another $60-100. So even if you pay out $20 (like i did) for offers to get you started, after getting just 1 referral to sign up, you still have a good profit! There's also a way to earn residual income, but I will get to that in a later post, too.

So, are you interested?  At least check it out for yourself at www.confessionssahm.ws. Enter your information on the capture page and then watch the video. I will send you two emails that will better explain a step by step process on the sign up. It never hurts to check out opportunities!

Soooo... It's been a while!

I can't believe it's been a year and a half since I've been on my blog! I've been updating a few things today and have forgotten how much fun it is to blog about deals! And I've missed the interaction with my readers and other bloggers. Why have I been gone so long? Well, I've had a really rough past few years.
 In 2009, I went back to work part time when my daughter started preschool. Because of that I had already had to cut back, but in 2010, I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Thankfully, TN isn't a life threatening disease, unfortunately, it is a life changing one. I won't go into all of the details, but I struggled with everything. At one point, I was taking up to 19 pills a day, some of which caused hallucinations. I was finally referred to an excellent neurosurgeon, and in 2011 had brain surgery. Symptoms? Gone! I was able to completely be off of all meds only six short weeks later! Praise the Lord!
 Now, before all of that had happened, my husband and I had discussed trying for a third baby. Of course during my illness all of that was put on the back burner. After being off the meds for awhile, we discussed it again, and decided to start trying after I had been off my meds for one year, to give my body time to heal and adjust. Well, God had better timing, because only a few months after my surgery, we found out I was expecting. What a welcome surprise! Little Ms. Suri Elaine was born in June.

Isn't she gorgeous? ;)  So, as you can see, I've had my hands very full. I'm so glad that I'm getting to stay home with another little one!
 The only thing that has been a downfall is the medical bills. We've been slowly paying off the portion of my surgery that insurance didn't cover, not to mention the numerous specialists visits and tests, and now we are paying on the OB and C-section bills. It's starting to feel a little never ending. But we'll make it!
 Anyway, the bills have been prompting me into looking at work from home opportunities. I always get nervous looking around for those, though, because there are so many SCAMS out there. My poor mom (who's on disability) was scammed out of about $900 a few months ago (I'm going to do a post about this later on).
 So, I was really intrigued the other day when I saw a friend post about a work from home opportunity. It was for affiliate marketing. Now, I'm a little familiar with affiliate marketing just from having my blog, and advertising through Amazon and such on here. But when I saw how much HER sponsor was making (who I know as another local woman in our area), and that she was already starting to make her own money, I started to really get excited. I began researching, and guess what? It's definitely legitimate and people really ARE making money with it.
I'm still just starting out, and plan to delve quite a bit deeper in, and will keep you all posted on how it goes. Over the next few days, I'm going to post the steps, show what I've found out, and give you the sign up link. Now, one thing I want to say up front...this DOES require work. And how much work you put into it will determine how much money you make from it. But don't be discouraged! It's not something that takes hours a day, more like just a few hours a week.
And on another fun note, I'm definitely going to start posting FREEBIES, again. Ohhh, how I've missed getting my little bits of "Christmas in the mailbox", lol. And I'm sure there will be some reviews and giveaways thrown in, too! So just stay tuned for an exciting next few days!
