29/12/2011. Interview with The Designer and Programmer of the 888Script

0

Hi everyone! Tonight I want to take a step back from the usual cycle of news and review articles and publish something a little different. Anyone reading MNO for long enough will know that over the last number of years I’ve been lucky enough to interview some of the people behind the scenes in the HYIP industry. People that are never involved in the running of any HYI programs themselves, but whose presence in the industry is nevertheless crucial in keeping the whole thing running. I’m talking about people like forum owners, payment processor managers, script developers, e-currency exchange providers, and so on. I must say that generally speaking these were my favorite type of interview because these people run more legitimate type businesses and don’t really have the same hidden agendas as let’s say HYIP admins themselves would. That, plus it gives us all a chance to share in a side of the industry not always understood very well by the regular investors, something I think is of very underrated importance.

So it’s with that in mind that I have this latest interview for you. I’m talking with Andrew who will no doubt already be known to a lot of MNO readers. Basically if you want to know who he is then he’s quite a talented young computer programmer who has done a lot of work for me over this last year on MNO. The biggest of many jobs he has done for me was to develop a brand new and totally unique monitoring script, called The 888monitor script that you can now see in action on the MNO monitoring page here:
http://www.money-news-online.com/monitoring/mno/

Yes, I agree that on the surface you might think this will be of more interest to the likes of existing HYIP admins or monitors, but it shouldn’t really be the case. It never hurts to have a greater understanding of what makes the industry tick, and of course for anyone thinking of trying their hand at making a few bucks over the net then this could prove very useful to you. If you are then you can always bookmark it and reference it later.

Before we begin I need to make it clear that I myself have no personal connection with Andrew’s business. You will need to direct all questions and inquiries to him, not me. The reason his services feature so prominently on MNO is because he was hired by me to develop it in the first place, but as he now has the finished product I am allowing him to use MNO as a platform to further promote it. Personally I’ve been hugely impressed with his talents as both a programmer and a designer (obviously! Otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this interview!) and think he has a bright future in front of him. So let’s hear from Andrew himself now.

1. Hi Andrew, please introduce yourself to the readers and tell us about your own role in 888Script. Tell us also what is 888Script and what is it you are offering your clients?

Hello MNO readers! My name is Andrew, and the 888Script is the latest project I’ve developed. This script is in my opinion the best alternative for people who either want to open their own HYIP monitor website, or change the outdated one if they’re already running an existing monitor. Apart from this me and the 888-studio offer a number of other useful services including:

Design optimization of your website, creating banners for your site (jpeg, gif, flash).
Full tech support of your website for its lifetime. (monthly payment)
SEO optimization of website
Providing of daily/weekly Statistics about website.
Creating interesting features for websites.
Creating professional logos and emblems for websites,
Providing analytical information about your website.
And I can provide any number of new ideas for improving your website, its work, its traffic and its popularity.

2. Can you give us some information on your own background in the IT industry. I know you have many years experience under your belt. Tell us about your qualifications and about the other projects you have been involved with prior to 888Script.

I started to work as programmer and designer more than four years ago. By that time I was finishing my studies in one educational institution under the auspices of the Microsoft company. I took part in many projects, though of course the biggest one that most (well, all!) of your readers will know is of course the is MNO portal itself.

3. A lot of MNO readers will already know your name, so maybe you can explain to everyone the full extent of your involvement with MNO and what work you have done there. In what ways have you improved the site since first getting involved?

Yes I’m the sole programmer and designer of the Money-News-Online portal. Two years ago MNO was totally different. In co-operation with Paul (that’s you!) we made a huge effort to improve it. The design of blog was the first thing we changed and personally I think it looks much better now than it did back then. After that, a Flash homepage was created. MNO was then equipped with a professional Forum,a professional Chat Room, and a professional contacts page. The last thing that we changed, and the biggest single project by far, was the monitoring page. The old script was removed completely and the 888script for monitors that I developed myself from scratch was installed in its place.

4. Now tell us a bit more about the story behind 888Script. Is this your sole occupation?

No, it’s not the only thing I’m doing but I guess the 888Script is probably the single most important project I have at the moment.

As I said there are other websites that have hired me and my 888-studio for technical, design, support, and other services.

5. Apart from the script itself what other services do you offer? Specifically with regard to the HYIP industry, what can you offer the admins in terms of technical assistance? Do you do more than just design? Could you for example (if asked) build an entire functioning website for a client?

Quite a lot, actually. These would include but would not strictly be limited to things like the following:
 1. 888Script – integration of the most flexible monitoring script.
2. Technical support
3. Design support
4. Creating banners (jpg, gif, and flash)
5. Creating professional logos for new websites
6. SEO optimization of your website
7. Providing of daily/weekly Statistics about your website
8. Creating additional features and widgets for websites
9. Providing analytical information about the website
10. Suggesting ways you can improve the website, its work, its traffic and its popularity.

I think that items 2,3,4,5,9,10 will be the most popular among admins in the HYIP industry. For projects which are not directly related to the HYIP industry, all of these things can be useful and very important.

As for the creation of a fully functional website from scratch – yes. If you want to create a website then get in touch and we’ll help you. Just tell us exactly what it is you are looking for and we can work on that too.

6. What are the price plans involved? How many different packages are available to potential clients with different requirements?

There are many different packages and plans. Everything depends on the exact specifications of the order. The prices on 888 monitor script can be seen right on the order form. http://money-news-online.com/888monitor/www/order.php

However the order form is temporarily unavailable, so please refer your orders to my emails addresses (888monitor@gmail.com – for script orders or tech issues, andrewdesign888@gmail.com for design issues)

7. What websites have you worked with in the past and how would you describe your working relationship with them?

I’m working with HYIP monitors, with HYIPs, with Internet shopping websites, customer websites, and other resources. By the way 888Script can be very easily altered into an internet-shopping-website. So if you want to create your own shopping website 888Script is as good a choice as any to start with.

Relationships are always good. I try to do my best, I make sure my customers know that and respect it.

8. What can new customers expect from you in terms of technical support, after sales service, IT solutions, etc? If I want to launch my own monitor for the first time, how strong a level of computer skills would you suggest I have myself before beginning?

If a customer has any questions after the script installation or website integration I’m glad to answer them and am always available to help with any explanation of the script’s options/features or or how it works.

If you have no idea about even the basic things like how to create your own domain, how to buy hosting, or you feel that you have not enough computer skills then just email me and I’ll see what I can do for you. You will see that starting your own monitor is as simple as A, B, C.

The only skill you must have is to use your own email to contact me.

9. I imagine that over the coming years we can expect to see updated versions of the script. Can you tell us about any longer term plans you have for the future?

888Script was already improved with an RCB feature and automatic email notification for example. For now there are three versions of the 888Script, which include the 888min, 888mid, 888max. The difference is in the features that are included inside.

All updates, that will be included in further versions, are dependent on customers only. I always ask my customers to contact me and to say what new features they would like to see. After that I decide what is the most practical and the most relevant at this moment.

10. What would you say are the main advantages of using 888Script over your rivals? If I run a site and am already using another script, how do I go about changing? Is it easy from the client’s point of view? Does it involve my site going offline for some period of time?

The main advantages are flexibility and security. Old monitor scripts can be easy infected or damaged by “SPAM bot” scripts for example. Buying 888Script you can sleep peacefully knowing this is simply not going to happen.

From the admin panel you can easily change the different settings as well as the main script view: content, sidebars, logo and other things!

11. I suppose at this point I should ask you where potential customers reading this can see a practical demonstration of all this? Is there a demo version I can try out to see if it’s right for me?

The public home page of the script can currently be seen on MNO too ))… The demo version of the administration panel can be seen here: http://alfamonitor.com/demo/admin/

And the demo of public page here: http://alfamonitor.com/demo/www/

Thanks to the Admin of alfamonitor (another satisfied customer!) for allowing me temporarily to put a demo version on his server. However due to enhanced security measures you will be able to see everything in admin panel but not to edit, not to add, and not to delete anything. For now just use my emails that I already mentioned for any questions (888monitor@gmail.com for script orders or tech issues, andrewdesign888@gmail.com – for design issues) to place an order or to ask anything you like.

12. Is it just HYIP monitors and admins you are targeting now? What appeal do you think you might have to anyone running small home based internet businesses, and then to the wider online business community?

Of course not. Not only HYIP admins have their own internet projects. I’m sure MNO readers are interested in many things other than the HYIP industry. Some of them might have their own business, some work in companies, some do other things.

If someone does run their own real business and he wants to present it online then he will make the right choice if he contacts me. Simple website on any theme, Website for a company, website for a family business ect. I will be glad to help with any ideas people have.

13. How safe is 888Script script? How can the admin of the program using it and his customers know they are protected from hackers? How can we be sure there are no flaws in the design, no backdoors?

Safety was one of the main goals when creating the 888Script. All data from users is checked to prevent any danger to your database. There are many settings for the admin that can be switched on, thus the script uses a stronger level of protection. I wouldn’t want to tell all the benefits of security as many of them are part of the security itself.

14. Is there anything else you would like to add before we finish? Something we haven’t touched on that you feel worth mentioning?

I think we did a good interview and people understand that it’s impossible to explain everything. If someone has any further questions then refer them to my emails, please. I’m sure we touched everything to understand that for making money on the internet you should have a professional website. You should maintain and develop it with professional technical support as well, and if you are committed to this then nothing is impossible for you. I believe that the services I offer and those of my design studio will help anyone to achieve this aim.

15. And finally for any potential clients reading this and would like to get in touch with you, see examples of your work, ask a couple of questions, or maybe hire you to do some work for them, what is the best way to contact you? Will you be opening your own website soon? Where can I see examples of your own work?

The website will be opened in the future, for sure. For now the best way of contacting me is through my email addresses which I have already given you (888monitor@gmail.com for script orders or technical issues, and andrewdesign888@gmail.com for design issues).

To see my work you can start by going through all pages of the MNO website. If that won’t be enough and you are interested in things that weren’t touched on here then contact me and I will provide all necessary information. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all MNO readers. Take care and good luck to everybody.

Thanks a lot to Andrew for that and best of luck to him in developing this and future products in the coming years. No doubt he can carve out a very valuable business for himself if his work is always as consistent as what he did on MNO and I guess it’s only a matter of time before he establishes a loyal customer base.

Just one last thing I want to mention before I go is that a new program that was added to Premium listing on MNO tonight. It’s a new program from the same administration team widely known for some high quality programs like OneInv (reviewed here) and TopsFund (reviewed here) – both of which pay for several months now. The new program is called GeniusVenture and it just launched today. It’s based on the same script which means you have to deposit money first before making an investment into the program. GeniusVenture only accepts LibertyReserve starting from $10 and the only plan offered now is 1.5%-3% for 300 calendar days. Judging by the old programs, I would hazard a guess that more aggressive plans will be added later, but smarter investors should really stick to the original as the more sustainable ones which will give you a better shot at a long term profit. Despite the similar design and investment plans and identical script, the program has a dedicated Staminus server with DDoS protection by Koddos, but this difference is most probably due to the fact that Dragonara recently became a bit more selective with the HYIPs they accept for hosting. Perhaps they are trying to phase out that side of the business and concentrate on more respectable mainstream businesses. Anyway, I believe that like other similar programs GeniusVenture has a good chance to become one of the most successful programs in 2012 and will have a more detailed review for you soon along with the regular HYIP news updates. Stay tuned for that, guys, and see you all on MNO tomorrow!
