Our company was primarly a supplier of computer hardware andtelecommunications products. However through our online dealingwith overseas and local companies we came across or were offeredto participate in several e type business opportunities. We alsotried a variety of sites including auctions and communities aswell as notice boards and forums. Anywhere we could think of toget our name out there.In doing so we came across a number ofsites where we could actually earn revenue while advertising ourbusiness and some of them were so automated it involved verylittle input from us.
So we decided to investigate this further and started takingpart in online surveys ,research and focus groups and joiningaffiliate programs thats how this site www.nzpcs.co.nz came intoexistance .We ended up with a tangle of sites and links allgoing different places and decided to centralise the ones thatwere bringing in the best returns. Also some of them didn't fitin with our core business and made our main site lookunprofessional .So we grouped what we considered the better onesnot always by the dollar value they returned .As the points weearned in auctions were worth a lot more for advertising thanthe money we could convert them into and gave us access to largenumbers of users that were looking for the same things weprovided.
Our experiance showed us that in a lot of cases the moreincentive that the sites offered to use their services the lesswe would get back in return traffic or gains. We made it a ruleof thumb to check out any lead that showed itself on multiplesearch engines and also to make the sites to investigiate ahigher priority if they didn't spam or send multiple emailsbasically just rewording the same offer based on the principleif their product was so good and the offer and returns true theywouldn't need to resort to these tactics to get more sign ups.

All in all its been an interesting venture to date sometimesfrustrating, full of highs and lows when we felt we hit thejackpot only to find we were heading down scam city road. Ipersonally avoid any sites that guarantee you set incomes ofunrealistic returns or where you are getting in on the end of atrend. Money back warranties when they said they'd make you1000s in a short period of time. (if they did, why would youwant your money back is beyond me ). Anyway I hope ourexperiance is some value to you or helped to give you an insightto the many opportunities on the net I shy away from dodgyventures as I believe Karma has a way of biting you back in thebutt. Anyway good luck to all with your ventures withpersistance and thought through research I feel there really canbe a pot of gold at the end of the internet rainbow.
