Hi, guys! Today as promised I’m offering to you another interview with Michael, the admin of the current number 1 autosurf program, MegaLido. Two months have passed since the first interview was published (by the way, you can read it here). During these last two months MegaLido has turned into the the best online investment opportunity and attracted more than 9,500 members. If that’s not a complete success then I don’t know what is. But what is behind all this – hard work every day from the admin. I hope that today you will find out something new about MegaLido and its admin Michael.

“1. Hi, Michael! I hope you’re doing well. Please introduce yourself again to my readers because not everybody knows you.

Hello, I am Michael Odrgan, originally from Brussels (Belgium) and I’m the developer and administrator of MegaLido.

2. Can you please share with us the secret of your success? What does it take to create a million dollar autosurf and to manage such a huge empire?

There’s no magical formula to running a program, just like in any other business, working hard is the key to succeed. I have been working full time on the program and I can see it’s really worth it, my hard work and member’s participation were the two things that made us reach this level.

3. How many people currently work for MegaLido and assist you with payments and routine work on the site? How would you describe the MegaLido team?

I like to control everything but there are a few other guys working with me, some of them work in the support area, answering common e-mails and normal questions and there are some people who help me investing the money, I know a lot about affiliate marketing but some people know a lot more than me and I have business with them. All the payments are handled by myself and I’m the only one who has access to them, for security measures.

As I said, I work full time on the program, my only activity is to run it so I dedicate completely and the other guys work on average 8-10 hours a day with it too. Sometimes we have some very busy days, but we can handle it without problems.

4. Tell us more please about your usual business day. What are your priorities? What comes first? Do you have enough time to have a rest despite so many payouts being made daily?

The priority is always taking care of investments and paying members, which happens very fast. Sometimes I am so busy I cannot take a rest or sleep, but it is necessary when extra attention is required, lately the program has been running very smooth, so I have been taking good rests.

5. Honestly did you believe when you started MegaLido that you would have thousands of members upgrading millions of dollars into your program just in a couple of months?

Well, I wanted to make this program one of the biggest programs in the industry since the first day, so it was not a surprise. Of course, I’m really happy to see MegaLido reaching that level, but it was not a surprise, I’m still working hard to make this program even bigger and better.

6. Can you give us any rough stats on how much was invested in MegaLido from the moment it first came online till now and how much has it paid to the members? Are you satisfied with the members’ support so far?

We keep total deposits as secret information, there is a lot of bad intentioned people out there who would try to take advantage of that, so I’d rather keep it private but I am very happy with member’s support, that was something that really impressed me, our members supported us even when we had problems and everyone is sticking with us, we wouldn’t have gone this far without members support, MegaLido members are a great group to do business with.

7. Can you tell us more about the income streams for MegaLido apart from incoming deposits? How are you able to manage funds properly together with managing the program itself?

As I’ve mentioned, the trading is done by me and some other professionals, so it is not a problem. Our main income comes from affiliate marketing, we use members money to set up advertising campaigns that generate leads and sales, and gives us a huge profit.

8. MegaLido was struggling with some minor DdoS-attacks in the past but now the site seems to be very stable. How could you manage to avoid major downtime and keep your program going? In your opinion is it safe and secure now and can it successfully resist DDoS-attacks in the future?

Yes, we had a few problems with it in the past but I don’t think they will happen again. We have increased our servers security and it’s almost impossible for someone to attack it, our server has two kinds of protection; it is extremely hard to put it down and even if someone manages to do it, all the data is backed up automatically every few seconds, so there won’t be any problems and even with access to the server, there’s no access to the funds.

9. What is your opinion about the programs that are trying to copy MegaLido‘s successful business model and trying to compete with you in some way?

I think that is awesome, it shows we are doing a very good job, so good that people want to be like us. Most of those programs will close down as soon as they earn a few dollars so I really don’t worry about competition, but I feel really glad to see people want to run their programs the same way I run MegaLido.

10. This question may seem trivial but I will ask anyway: what are the future plans you have in mind for the program? And I don’t mean simply plans for the near future, but rather planning for months ahead. Where can you see MegaLido in a couple of months from now?

I can see MegaLido as one of the biggest programs in the industry ever, as that was my main goal since the first day. I have several ideas I still want to implement on MegaLido and the program won’t stop growing. I have worked really hard on the program and I will continue to do that, MegaLido will be one of the biggest programs ever, I promise you that.

11. Do you honestly think that you were able to change people’s skepticism towards MegaLido and the autosurf industry as a whole? How will it affect the future of the autosurf industry and the general attitude in people’s minds?

Yes, I have certainly seen changes in a lot of people’s minds during these last two months. I managed to show people that not everyone is a scammer in this industry, that there are some honest people who want to build solid businesses based on a mutually profitable relationship. MegaLido will be one of the biggest programs ever and a lot of people will copy our business model, I hope they will do it in a positive way, so that people who are now trusting this industry more than they used to will continue to benefit from that.”

I would like to thank Michael for his answers and wish him and his program many more months online. I hope you will make your decision to join MegaLido and try it out because it’s the best program of 2008 so far – believe me, it’s worth it!
