09/10/09. Interview with the admin of MindPowerSurf
BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM HAS STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!
Hi everyone! Mircea Ianciac is his name and MindPowerSurf is his program. And today I have an interview with him. He is what we could consider an experienced admin in the autosurf business having previous run a program that achieved a respectable level of success for its members. All good things must come to an end though and as the natural cycle of events is in the autosurf industry payouts eventually surpassed investments and that was the end of that.
But not the end of Mircea as we shall see who while admitting to certain mistakes in the past, eg piggybacking with his last program, has also learned from those mistakes and has returned with MindPowerSurf. Hopefully it can emulate the success of its predecessor, which is no mean feat in what can only be called a more hostile climate for autosurfs in general. But keep reading and I think you’ll find that as admins go Mircea is well up for the challenge. It remains to be seen if the investors are going to be swayed but on the face of it at least, it would appear that MindPowerSurf is starting from a good position and has every chance of success.
Before we hear from Mircea let me just remind tou that MindPowerSurf is an autosurf with two plans that offer 140% after 14 days, and 5% for 30 days. For further information you can always refer back to my original review published here.
“1. Please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO blog. Why did you decide to open MindPowerSurf? What is the concept behind the program and why is it called MindPowerSurf?
Hello everybody. First of all I want to apologize for my not so good English but it is not my first language. My name is Mircea Ianciac and I am from Romania, from a beautiful city in the North East of my country. This is my second involvement in such a program. I cooperate with two friends in this program: a technician and an advertiser. I called the program MindPowerSurf because I like this concept: surfing and earning using the power of your own mind.
2. Would you mind telling us more about your previous experience as an investor and a program admin? How was your experience as an admin in the Priority-Pages program and what was the reason behind its closure?
I have only four years in this kind of business (autosurf and HYIPs) but I accumulated a lot of experience learning from my losses but also from my earnings, from my mistakes, from others mistakes. As the admin of Priority-Pages I tried to offer members the opportunity to make some extra income and a lot of members were in good profit there. I invested some of the members money in some other good sites at that time like 14DHS, PathwayToProsperity, TheOneSurf, etc…. but these sites collapsed and the money was lost. Now, when I remember that time it’s a little funny for me because after almost four months of running Priority-Pages my real earnings were about $300 to 400$.
3. What experience did you take from your administration? How are you going to run your new program differently to avoid any of the same mistakes during your attempt to run Priority-Pages?
I learned a lot from my last experience with Priority-Pages: to not trust everything that is written or promised on a site or by any admin, to check all over the internet for any information regarding the site and admin, to listen to advice from trusted sources, either real or virtual friends.
4. Tell us more about the investment plans MindProfitSurf is offering to online investors. What is the minimum and the maximum to invest? What payment processors do you accept now or plan to start accepting in the near future?
MPS has three account types: Free, Active and VIP. Free members can earn a maximum of 50 credits daily. Credits are NOT converted to cash. Active members must purchase from 1 to 1,000 adpacks @ $5 each. They can earn a maximum of 70 credits daily and also rebate on plan they selected (150% or140% or both) by surfing the minimum of 15 sites required per day. VIP members must purchase from 1 to 20 adpacks @ $250 each. They can earn a maximum of 140 credits daily and also rebate on plan they selected (150% or140% or both) by surfing a minimum of 15 sites per day. MindPowerSurf offers 2 plans: 1. Power Plan – 10% daily for 14 days (140%), min. 5$ – max.5,000$, cashout after expire.2. Mind Plan – 5.00% daily for 30 days (150%), min.5$ – max.5,000$, cashout daily. The minimum spend on MindPowerSurf is 5$ and maximum is 5,000$
MPS accepts four payment processors: SolidTrustpay, StrictPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. I think that’s an adequete number of processors for my site. Before launching I wanted to add AlertPay as well but after analyzing the situation there a bit more closely and consulting popular opinion in the forums and I decided to use this processor only for “pure” advertisement (by a special request) for those who want to buy banners or mass paid email or other products offered by MPS. This way the site will be not a target of false complains and will not affect the earnings of the members. These purchases will not be considered and added as upgrades and will not produce any profit from surfing for members or non-members of the site.
5. What are the surfing requirements to earn the daily rebates? What will happen if I miss a day of surfing?
Rebate on member’s MindPowerSurf account is acquired daily and credited to the available balance instantly after surfing the minimum of 15 sites required. If members are missing 1,2,3…..days of surfing nothing happens because every upgrade expires when the percentage of the plan is completed. For example if a member upgrades in the Power plan, he surfs 3 days and then goes away for 2 weeks, when he arrives back he will have the same 30% in cash balance and he can continue till the the plan (140%) is completed.
6. What is your honest opinion about the investment plans? Do you think they might be sustainable in the long run and why do you think so?
The investment plans I use I think are reasonable and the audit I have made today demonstrates to me that I was not wrong when I decided to use these plans and this kind of script.
7. The autosurf script you’re using doesn’t work with the Opera web browser and in my opinion it’s a bit overcomplicated. Why did you choose this particular version and not go with the good old reliable version of Neversay script?
This was also my first impression when I saw this script but now I’m very satisfied with it. It offers many possibilities for a good admin to be more flexible with plans and other issues from the script for the good health of the program.
8. In my opinion the whole depositing and withdrawing process in MindPowerSurf is too complicated for a newbie. Can you explain in detail how one can deposit and withdraw money in your autosurf?
Yes, this is true. Not only for newbies but also for some seniors. I will explain briefly how it works. After registering, a member wants to upgrade $100 with LR He will need to fund first the wallet. Press the tab “My Wallet” select amount 100, chose the processor Liberty Reserve press the tab “Fund wallet” and then “Complete Purchase”. He will be directed to his LR account. After funding wallet he needs to deposit the $100 he has now in wallet to 1 or both plans – Power Plan and Mind Plan. For example he wants to deposit $50 in Power Plan and $50 in Mind Plan. Press tab “Deposit”, select Power Plan, select amount $50, select processor LR, press tab “Deposit” and then Confirm deposit. Same way with the second deposit of $50 to Mind Plan. He can now surf pressing the tab “Advertising TV Rotator” the minimum 15 pages required to receive rebate for the day.
Everyday members can see how much they have in Cash balance. Pressing tab Transfer Cash Balance they will see there 2 columns: Available Cash Balance and Cash Balance Members. Everyday, any member can transfer to wallet ONLY Cash balance available to wallet. Once they have money in the wallet they have three possibilities: 1- withdraw to the processor they upgraded from: 2- part of money from wallet deposit again to the plans they want and withdraw part of money to the processor: 3- deposit all money from wallet to the plans they want. I saw that the 2nd possibility is used by some money making seniors.
9. What hosting provider do you use and is your site protected from DDoS-attacks?
MindPowerSurf is hosted on a dedicated server, a Staminus server. The hosting provider themselves are called SecureServerTech and they do provide a level of protection from DDoS attacks. There is a High Risk level of protection offered by SecureServerTech and can be increased if necessary.
10. What is the best way to contact you if a member has any issues in his account or just want to ask some questions?
There are 2 ways to contact me: support ticket in the MPS member’s account or email to mpsurf @yahoo.ca or mindpowersurf@gmail.com
11. Being online for just one week how can you characterize the support the members are giving to MindPowerSurf? What are your minimum expectations on the further growth?
The support from all members has been just great. I thank you all for this. All members saw that I’m paying all cashout requests promtly and I try to answer support tickets within not more than 12 hours.
12. Where do you advertise your program and do you have any advertising strategy in place? What is the members’ contribution to the whole process of promotion and what referral reward will one have for promoting MindPowerSurf?
I advertise my program in over 12 international forums (paid advertisement + support from members by topics and posts), over 20 monitors that I have chosen by their Alexa ranking and by their influence in the industry. There is also a big members’ contribution because many members want to bring referrals in their downline to make some extra money this way from referral commissions. I’m thinking about and planning a referral contest (I think I will launch in few days) with good prizes for first 10 places.
13. Please tell us more about your plans for the near future for MindPowerSurf if you have any in mind already.
For the near future of MindPowerSurf, as I just said I’m hoping to launch a referral contest in the next few days. But for the longer term future I have some other good plans I prefer not to disclose now. It will be a big surprise for the next interview and believe me will be a wonderful surprise for all members and non-members of MindPowerSurf.
14. Being an experienced investor yourself what advice would you give to new investors to earn profits from HYIPs and autosurfs in the long run?
Be well informed when you join HYIPs and Autosurfs, invest using the Power of your Mind!”
As usual I would like to thank the admin here for taking the time and trouble to reply to my questions and wish him and the members of MindPowerSurf every success with their collective efforts. Hopefully we will still be talking about it for a couple of months at least.
That’s it for the moment guys but just like yesterday I will be back a bit later this evening with another new review and of course all the latest news from around the online investments industry. So stay tuned for that and see you later!
