06/02/09. Interview with the admin of 24over7

THIS PROGRAM IS FINISHED! PLEASE DON’T UPGRADE!
Hi everybody! Well as promised yesterday I have a very interesting interview with Jim Walker from 24over7. It’s one of the hottest new autosurfs to hit the net in recent times and one that seems to have captured the imagination of surf aficionados everywhere. Just to refresh your memory, 24over7 is using the ever popular 12×12 model, giving you a total return of 144% of your investment for surfing 12 sites. For more details you can always refer to my original review published here. Jim is quite an experienced admin and he gives some great answers which should be of interest to all surfers, but especially to newbies. For instance, see how he gives such an easy to understand explanation on joining an autosurf for the first time.

So let’s hear what Jim has to say, but remember, just don’t call him Honey!

“1. Hi James, please introduce yourself to the readers of Money-News-Online and tell us about your role in 24over7. I believe this is not your first online venture. What can you tell us about your previous experiences in running online investment programs? Will you tell us what those programs were? What did you learn from the whole experience?

Hello my name is James L. Walker buy my friends call me Jim and my wife calls me Honey, but you just call me Jim ok? I am the administrator and sole support representative at the moment for 24over7. And yes this is not my first online venture, I have been a member of many programs far too long to be considered a newbie in this field. I am also not denying that this is not my first program and it is not my second either. Because of the sensitive issue put down on the table I would rather not mention the names, besides they did not end with a “happily ever after”, no program ever does anyway. It just thought me which hosting provider to trust and how to secure the site even more. I do not want to give much information but it should give you an idea already of how my previous program ended. The good thing is I am always applying what I learned in the past with the new programs I make and I always try to achieve my goal and I hope I can do it this time around.

2. As you are one of the few admins that will actually admit to having some past experience in this field, what other sites, either currently running or from the past, would you cite as an example of a good autosurf? What makes them so good?

There is no denying that 12dailypro is still the best autosurf that I admire and take as an inspiration. Inspiration because we all know I am not an investing guru or a forex guy or anything of that nature and 24over7 is not an investment program to begin with. But 12dailypro has proven that even if its not investing money it can still stay online for many months. Heck, it can even run for years if the thing did not happen with them. All other autosurfs I joined were not at par with 12dailypro at all. They were just like my previous ones anyway and I want to try and make a 12dailypro kind of site. This is also the reason why I use 12% daily for 12 days plan.

3. For those unfamiliar with autosurfs can you explain how the process works? From the moment I decide to invest in 24over7 to the moment I get my first payout, what happens? What do I do?

Ok first and foremost, you must first create an account with 24over7 and then login to your account. After logging in, you just click on the Upgrade Account link and then choose how many upgrade units you want to upgrade with and with which Payment processor you would like to use (AP, STP, SP, LR). Remember each upgrade unit is $5. Then after you paid the amount using the automatic system, you will then be forwarded back to our website.

This time you will need to surf 12 sites in the surf rotator. All you have to do is click on the START SURFING link on the members menu and then the autosurfer will surf for you from page to page with each page shown for only 20 seconds. You need to do this for 12 days. You can always reupgrade more units everyday if you wanted to, but you must do it before you surf for the day. Otherwise, you will need to wait for the next surfing day (right after 12:00AM on the server time.), to upgrade again.

After you surf for the 12th time for that upgrade you will then need to wait for the day to finish. As soon as the server clock hits 12:00AM, your upgrade should expire after your first login for that day. Then your expired upgrade with its earnings will be cashed out automatically for you. From there I will need to process your cashouts to your payment processor before you will receive it. I hope I explained it clearly.

4. Can you give us some background information on 24over7? How long have you been online? What are you realistically hoping to achieve by launching this site? Are you working alone or do you have a partner or assistant?

I am working alone at the moment. 24over7 is 14 days now and it is still growing. Upgrades are now at $150,000 total and I am struck by this amount because it is such amazing growth if you ask me. As I said earlier, I just want to make a program that will last long and not just a month or two. And I will do it! I hope members will back me up because I cannot do it alone.

5. What is the investment plan you are offering investors? What are the minimum and maximum amounts to invest? What payment processors are you currently dealing with? Are payouts automatic or do I need to request it?

The most popular autosurf ROI plan of 12% daily for 12 days or 12×12 is the one I am offering to members. This will return a total of 144% after 12 days. Four payment processors are accepted at 24over7: AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, StrictPay & LibertyReserve. Payouts are not automatic but cashout is. So right after your upgrade expires, it will go to pending status and I will need to process it manually. You do not need to request any cashout except for your referral commissions.

6. How many sites will I need to surf in order to be paid? What will happen if I miss a day surfing? Will I be penalized somehow?

You need to surf 12 sites daily with 20 second timer each. If you miss a surfing day just contact me and I will add it. In the future I will be adding a feature that will extend your expiration date instead of me having to add the credit manually everytime.

7. A growing number of autosurfs now offer a “non-surfing” plan almost like an HYIP. What is your opinion of this and why don’t you have this option?

I stil want to keep the members active on the site. Adding this plan will decrease member activity and they will just come back to promote the site once their upgrades expire. Unlike with surfing, it adds at least a little bit of excitement and thrill and a little effort from the members to participate in. An autosurf is an autosurf, it is a form of advertising. I want all members to see the sites added to the rotation at least sometimes or at least once in the whole time they are members of my website.

8. How have you been promoting the program so far? What advertising strategy are you using? How big a part have the existing members played in this? Are you satisfied with that level of support? Could anything be done to improve on this? Is there any referral competitions to motivate members to get more active in the promotion of 24over7?

I bought ads in your blog Paul and I am liking the results. I also bought some cost-effective advertising in popular monitors which proved to be effective in the past programs I had too. So that is experience in action. Members have played a big part in the promotion of 24over7. I am planning to advertise on more places this coming week. There is no referral contest of some sort or anything. The 4% commission for the first level and 2% for the 2nd level that I offer to members is already attractive. but I am not closing my doors to ideas of running a referral contest.

9. What about the success of the program overall so far? Are you pleased with the level of growth to date? Can you give us any statistics on the amount of members and the total amount deposited? What are your expectations over the coming months?

Well, what can I say. This is by far the fastest growing website that I ever had. The statistics are publicly displayed on the home page. I expect it to be even bigger every passing day.

10. Tell us in detail about the security of 24over7. What script are you using? What are you doing to keep the site safe from hackers and DdoS attacks? Who is your hosting provider and are you on a dedicated server?

I trust this script so much, this is the Neversay autosurf script. It has never given me any problems at all. Of course I have learned to exercise what I know about securing my sites from the past. I also now know how to prevent bad things from happening like hacking and other stuff. My site is also hosted by Blacklotus.net and was recently moved to a faster dedicated server with DDOS Protection. Paid the hosting up to May 25th and will extend it from there.

11. Theres a small but growing number of good autosurfs online now. What are the main advantages of joining yours? Why should I pick 24over7 in front of any other? What are you going to do for me that the others are not?

Since this is not an investment website, members should join the website which has the most members and the most support from members. This way , they are assured that the program will have enough incoming funds everyday. And so the program will not end so quickly. Added icing on the cake is the fast payments I make and quick support I provide. Most programs end up scamming its members because of lack of support and they become greedy and run away. This is not the case with me. It is always by a 3rd party reason why my previous programs ended. But of course no one would believe it so no sense in explaining. But this won’t happen anymore because I learned from my past. And 24over7 will come to an end the natural way. Like a tree which ran out of leaves because of the lack of water supply.

12. How long do you realistically expect 24over7 to run for? In my own experience I would estimate the lifespan of a really good program at three to six months with the really outstanding admins managing to prolong their sites beyond six months. How would you achieve this with 24over7?

You got that right. I was also seeing it to reach 3 months or longer time. Not that I am lifting my own chair and without a bloated head, with my experience and pure intentions to provide a great program online, I think it can go on a lot longer than that . Provided that nothing bad happens, no people try to bring it down and the members continue to support it just like what they are doing right now.

13. What if I’m still not convinced? If you had just one thing to say to me in order to get me to invest in 24over7, what would it be?

Time will come when you will regret not joining it now that is a sure thing and when that time comes, you have no one else to blame except yourself. Lol.

14. And finally, what is your honest opinion of my blog? Is it a worthwhile exercise of any real benefit to investors? Would you suggest any ways in which it could be improved?

Your blog enables us, program admins, to reach your readers and let them know our intentions and our goals. As an investor or a reader of your blog as well, I find your blog as the most credible and with well written articles and straight to the point, non-biased reviews. Thanks Paul for this opportunity to be part of your blog, AGAIN.”

Well I hope you agree with me when I say how pleased I am to see such a candid and honest approach from an admin. Very refreshing indeed. I have to say from past experience how much more I like dealing with admins with this straight up, no nonsense approach. You get exactly what you pay for here. And that’s a good chance to earn a good profit from a good program. And all this is handled by a man who won’t spin you any fairy tales about the risks involved. Remember if anybody in this industry offers you a “guarantee” on anything they are most likely not being totally honest with you. And that is the simple reason I prefer dealing with sites like 24over7. That’s my opinion of the admin. My opinion of the site is equally positive. Go into this with your eyes open and I think you can do quite well from it.
