Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Hi Mary, yeah, I didn't even write you at all ........so I thank you for this P.S.

I think we all know (those who know me anyway) that I would ever want to create a public scene about something I cannot change for a couple of weeks.  You are right , there was no gnashing of teeth on my part as I was duly disgusted with the reactions of others. It is one thing to feel disappointment, it is quite another story to start making demands, looking for pity, ranting, raging and just perpetuating negativity in this wonderful forum for the love of what was a benefit , not something owed us.

Thanks for the mention smile
Blessings to you and yours ~ I extend my fondest wishes to you for a Peaceful Christmas big_smile
Your freind,
Nadine

Oh, give me a break! 

I've tried to stay quiet until now but I am so tired of hearing all this whining from our so-called professional colleagues over a matter of roughly $130.  To say that you are disappointed, embarrassed, confused, hurt, etc is one thing, but these drawn out rants have got to stop.  My eyes are hurting from reading all this nonsense!  I haven't seen and heard this many tantrums since I worked in the nursery. 

Everyone out there needs to get their head on straight and take stock of where they are.  You should ALL know that you are in deep trouble if your business hinges on whether you were receiving $130 or so from Tissa or anyone else.  You should also consider what kind of person you've become when you find that you will throw your own integrity into sharp question by trashing a program where the only change was YOUR status. 

Super Sponsor reimbursements -- even the super sponsor program itself -- was never guaranteed to anyone.

Frankly, I say that if Tissa can be faulted for anything, it's for letting the Super Sponsor program remain as a welfare state for so long, supporting the businesses of people who's mistaken objective was to remain in the rosters of the program.  The Super Sponsor program was meant to be a hand up, not a handout! 

I'm truly sorry for the humiliation, anger, frustration, shock, surprise and whatever other emotional blows may have been dealt to the recently removed super sponsors.  To face all that publicly cannot be easy.  But let's not kid ourselves here, those who WANT to be super sponsors again will do so.  The rest will never understand that being booted was the best thing that could have happened. It will teach you lessons that sitting around in this forum and relying on $130 never could.

I used my super sponsor money for charity, I used it for micro loans, I used it for gifts for my friends.  It was a windfall.  I absorbed the monthly business expenses as I would have were I not a super sponsor because I knew that at any time I could decide to leave the program, or Tissa could boot me from super sponsor, or could drop the super sponsor program completely.  If you are "relying" on super sponsor money, you are not making a wise business decision.  if it happens that the program or the money dries up for me tomorrow, I won't suffer any loss because I'm not relying on it. 

I've said it before, I'll say it again.  Being a super sponsor is not what this program is about.  It shouldn't be a goal.  It definitely shouldn't be a status symbol.  It should be a nice reward or 'token' of appreciation from Tissa for doing what you were going to do anyway.  If it ever did or ever does mean anything more to you than that, shame on you.  All of you.  Any of you.

Mary

PS - Of all the people here who could least afford (financially) to lose their super sponsor status, I would put Nadine at the top of the list - yet she has been the most resilient and most professional of the lot who have raised their voice here, to her everlasting credit.  She quickly sorted herself out and moved on without this great weeping and gnashing of teeth.

As for the rest, I have seen more grace from 6 year olds.  Get a grip on yourselves, on your thoughts, on your aspirations.  It's $130 more or less and some of you are acting like it's worth more than your immortal soul. Are you really willing to trade your respect and your good name for a matter of $130?  I wouldn't.

Get back on your game.  Show us all that Tissa made a mistake.

Mary


Mary,

Ditto on every last word!!! I'm sick of hearing excuses and people blaming others.  Let's move forward people!  Carry our shield dearest Nadine!

Happy Holiday to All,

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

wow... so many brain washed individuals....

My post was not in anger but instead deep disappointment.

My point re the 30 sub was simply that the sub is taken out PRIOR to Tissa announcing the SS for that month - when really it should come out a week after the announcement so we could cancel step 3 if we cant afford it.

YES - Tissa should drop us a quick email IF we are already SS's and seem absent... especially if we go from large numbers of posts to nigh on none!! Its not like there are 10,000 SS's... there has been a total of only 120 and only up to 80 or so at any point in time!?!

WA really offers LITTLE TO NO real benefit... virtually everything there can be found else where - FOR FREE.

I am not blaming Tissa for anything persay - my decisions are my own. What i was trying to make clear is that there should be a degree of understanding and flexibility offered to dedicated SS's. Contact should be direct and concern should be showed.... for the most part the average SS is actually doing a huge amount of work that otherwise would be pilling up on Tissa desk!!

Not to mention every post, every comment and every effort SS makes builds Tissas bottomline via increased signups, exposure etc.

Anyhow each to their own huh... I wont be back... i will miss a few of the forum members who know who they are!

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Mike, I saw this thread revived, and had hope in my heart, however I do understand that your pain is still too deep. I will still pray that you and all you offered us before this past month, which I do understand also has taken its toll on you; that in the new year you will reconsider and rejoin us.

You were and still are welcome and loved by many,
Especially me smile
If I can help in any way ~ to ease your pain, pls do pm me .......I am here for you , if you wish hmm


Your true friend and avid supporter smile

In times of trouble we must stick together, mate smile

Blessings always,

Nadine

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

I'll miss you too, Mike.

You used to be cool. hmm

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

The step 3 subscription comes out at 30 day increments according to when you signed up.  It comes out automatically through PayPal and if you don't know that, you should.  Tissa does not 'bill' you - you sign up and you can cancel at any time.  PayPal does the billing, and in return they get a portion of what Tissa collects.

Yes

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Wow.  This is a lot of crazy stuff I am reading about being a Super Sponsor for Tissa. 

The way I look at is this, if you are offering good, solid, relevant content to help others with their affiliate marketing business, and you don't expect anything in return, there is a good chance you will make it as a Super Sponsor. 

Heck, there is enough information on Wealthy Affiliate to share with others that you could make a hundred helpful posts in 30 days.

Here is what I have found.  95% of the people I talk to that join APS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JOINED!  It's insane.  Since I have my phone number all over the web, I get YOUR referrals calling me all the time.  They don't even know what they signed up for.  These people are mostly new internet marketers with no idea of what they are getting in to. 

It is not humanly possible to OVER POST new relevant content on this forum to help new affiliates. 

As far as I am concerned, being considered a Super Sponsor is a badge of honor.  I read many posts, find out what people are really struggling with, and then try to help them by posting a new topic or by replying to posts.  That's it. 

I also know that my content is helpful because I have had a lot of real positive feedback.  I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but this is just what I have learned:

HELP OTHERS AND REAP THE REWARDS!

Do it without expecting anything in return and your whole business will change. 

Adopt the attitude for whatever affiliate marketing niche you go in to.

Be a problem solver.  Offer solutions to the burning problems that people have.

When you take that position with your business...a selfless attitude where your sole goal is to help other people solve their problems or needs...people will buy from you, they will listen to you, they will join your business opportunity, they will be loyal to you.  This is how you should approach your business...in my humble opinion.

Do this in 2010 and you will make more money than you can imagine.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all of that other good stuff.

Brett

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Well said Brett,

One of the points that the team can take cue is from Brett's "  Since I have my phone number all over the web, I get YOUR referrals calling me all the time."

After the initial contact, I am giving my contact details to all my referrals. Nowadays, I get a lot of phone calls, I explain to them about the program on the phone, send out informative e-mails, chat with Gtalk, (skype I am keeping for my traditional business), help them out with teamviewer.

One of my referrals in Chennai is coming down to Bangalore to discuss about the program tomorrow.

One of a referral who is not in my downline, he meets me couple of times a week and gets all his clarifications and I am available to him whether he is my downline or not.

It is fairly simple. Be there when the people need you and try to help whatever way you can.

Exactly!  Being a Super Sponsor isn't about being paid up to $233/month by me.  That's just a benefit of doing precisely what Brett described above.  And if you do what Brett described, you will make more money online in 2010 than you ever dreamed possible.

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

There seems to be a fair share of disappointed people as of late.

I have also tried to stay out of the discussion.

All I have to say is that we are ALL adults here.

We do NOT need hand holding by Tissa or others to maintain the benefits that are earnable here.


This is YOUR business.  Only you are responsible for your success.


If a program has guidelines that must be followed to earn.  Then it is your responsibility to follow them.




PS.  Next we will see people complaining that they aren't getting a GDI referral bonus for only one referral.

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Hi....

I personally have stayed away from all this bickering here on the forum and just been getting on with helping out as much as i can...

All i can say is about six months ago i was going from program to program and losing all my money on other schemes with all the promises that they made that you will be rich overnight.........

Then i found Acme... I will never get a better opportunity to make money online...

This is the most amazing program that has ever been and i love it..... As said in previous posts no body should rely on the SS payments to get by on.... If you are made an SS its an added bonus for your achievments in helping people...As you say pay it forward.......

Ive learn so much in the last six months that i have amazed myself......

Thanks to everyone that has helped me........

kevin  smile

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

I wish we could ALL be adult enough to drop this infernal subject once and for all............and I mean ALL of US cool

Those who can't cope can leave..........you wanted French, c'est la vie...........benefices terminee!!! Pas content....tu est terminee aussi.

On that note............Happy HO HO to all smile

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Mary, I just noticed this "PS - Of all the people here who could least afford (financially) to lose their super sponsor status, I would put Nadine at the top of the list - yet she has been the most resilient and most professional of the lot who have raised their voice here, to her everlasting credit. She quickly sorted herself out and moved on without this great weeping and gnashing of teeth. " and that you gave me credit here.....I am grateful, sis.....for I did try to get them all off the proverbial ledge during that horrid week plus some. My only problem but 10 days later was badly reacting to meds My pulmonary specialist enforced upon me ~ that my body and psyche could not handle.
I know I posted like crazy, but I was trying to boost morale and totally oblivious to copyright infringements, besides mentionning the origins of what I posted. MY BAD. But it was horridly out of character for me, you always told me I was too sweet and needed to be liked. Yes that was and is still somewhat true, however, I find that now- a- days I am putting alot more focus on my own need to like myself, and the way that drug made me act during perhaps 2-3 days was not me at all. I hated the monster it transormed me to, I was totally in a state of paranoia and out of whack, both physically and pycholigically. I shamed myself deplorably. I don't believe  I have ever acted in such a self detremental fashion in my life mad !  Tomorrow is the last dose of this grand pharma garbage that my body cannot handle. I don't even look like me after 3 weeks on it, my daughter came to wash my hair today and is reacting to me in a state of fear, for she doesn't recognise her own mother. That person was not the me that you all knew and had some respect for before. I am so relieved that tomorrow will be the last day.  I am blessed though that so many of you did forgive me, and understood that that was not the woman who had been posting for 6 months with true concern and love for her extended forum family. I can't truly say that I feel much better for all I went through, alas, and I have many friends praying for me when I see the specialists on the 13th. I do know that  I am proud of my apology to the family for I had truly shamed myself, and I do believe that Tissa closed myself  open to questions from the family to protect me. For this I am grateful, for I was just asking for abuse at that time. I was so ashamed of all I had wittlessly done. I felt I needed punishment, in my paranoia, and when I did get it.....losing something that was precious to me, I just wanted to die.
But I live on....with optimism and a great new set of goals of which I am very proud. A change of mindset, especially now is the work of God, surely. For I am restored, mentally, even ameliorated a version of the old Nadine smile and I have faith that sticking to my goals daily will bring me to my full autonomy and restored self respect wink

I am very pleased tonight, for during webinar, I was told I did not have to wait till after the 15th to get myself back up to 100% from 65% in my back office, and with eager typists fingers I went through the forgotten (almost) yet simple step 3. Not on trial pay, that also is not necessary for Tissa was indeed generous to the max when he gave me back twice the 29.95 on paypal. So I will not take advantage of such generosity and go through trial pay, I need to pay my way in life and earn my own money!!!! I also am fully signed up as an affiliate of commission junction, and am so looking forward to starting article writing and blogging. I feel I will excel at these particular methods because I love communicating smile
I will strive to be a better me than ever before, regardless of any obstacles, I know for certain, that the APS family will always be there to help me. For much like our friend Angela, I am truly technologically challenged. I aspire one day soon, to be starting threads of guidance and "tutorials" but only because I truly want to Pass it Forward, Mary. I love the social medias and Angel is my idol, lol smile and I must admit that I am truly enthralled with WA smile

Bear with me folks, for the best of Nadine is yet to come. This is a new year and I am ready, willing, and eager to prove my self to myself and for myself , for I have heard my own cries.

Thanks again, Mary for the kind comment before I went full tilt boogie tongue I have learnt much since the dawn of the New Year. Thank  you Tissa, Gary, Chris, Mikey and countless other awesome people for stopping me from self destruction.

Looking forward to your feedback from Lost Wages, Mary.....you deserve more than just one pair of shoes, though lol lol ~ Have a great time and safe home dear friend big_smile

To a revived forum and great things ahead for all of us smile
To Our United front and Success to all in 2010.
Believe it or not, New Year's is on Jan 14th....again according to the Julian calendar, so I get another chance to ring her in cool

Nadine

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Nardine,
You are great, I salute you for your positive attitude and commitment in APS business.
Stand up again at the point where you fall, this is the attitude that a successful person should have!
Your post have created very good encouragement to us who are involved in Internet Business. To success is not easy in IM, people are too easily to fall, frustrated, have no patience and eventually giving up. But you are not the one.
I think all of us, especially newbie should have this kind of spirit in pursuing online business (or any offline business).
Thanks smile
a +1 for you..

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Congratulation to all new super sponsors and for all of us who could remain a super sponsor. I really want to congratulate everyone for your nice work in this forum. Keep up like that guys!

Yes

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Congratulation to new and remaining super sponsor!

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Tissa,

Thanks again for allowing me to continue to be a Super Sponsor on your Forum.

As we discussed in Vegas, I will do even better. 

2010 is going to be a great year at APS. 

Brett

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Congrats to all of the new and current Super Sponsors!

Great work.  Keep it up.

Re: Current Super Sponsors Approved by Tissa

Tissa,

Thanks for continuing me as a SS. 2009 was the learning year and I hope to do a lot lot better this year!

APS Rocks.

Congrats to all the SSs.
