PLEASE BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM IS PAYING SELECTIVELY!

Hi guys! There are a number of good short term programs that have popped up in recent weeks grabbing all the headlines, but one of the most dependable, and in HYIP terms most long lasting ones has got to be SteadyGrowthInvest. One element that has been key to their longevity has been the fact that their plans, while highly lucrative and profitable to the investor, remain more realistic and sustainable over a longer period than their rivals. Another factor in their success has been the abilities of the admin. His name is Francis Weir and today I’m glad to finally catch up with him and ask him a few questions.

I’ll just remind you first that SteadyGrowthInvest is a short term HYIP with two available plans. The first one pays 105% on your principal after two days. The second one pays 130% after ten. For further information you can always refer back to my original review published here. But first let’s see what Francis has to say.

“1. Hi, please introduce yourself to the readers of money-news-online and tell us a bit about your personal involvement in SteadyGrowthInvest. What can you tell us about your previous experience in this industry?

Hello! My name is Francis Weir. I am the head administrator of SteadyGrowthInvest investment funds. In the past I was engaged in investments in similar programs, online advertising and other income opportunities.

2. Tell us now about the history of the program itself. How long have you been in operation? Do you have a partner or assistant working with you or are you the sole admin at the moment?

Once I came to the idea of building a team and creating a steady investment funds considering the know-how gathered while dealing with similar programs. Our team consists of 7 members, most of whom are specialists in different areas helping us to keep the program running.

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

First of all an investor requires a payment processor account with the amount he would like to invest on the balance. Next he has to make a deposit in our program (a more detailed description on how to do this can be found in our FAQ section). After a deposit expires (2 or 10 days depending on the investment plan chosen), he will find the amount invested + profits on the SGI account balance.. You can either request a withdrawal of this amount to the payment processor deposited from or reinvest it at any time.

4. What are the plans on offer to investors? Explain them to us in detail. What are the minimum and maximum amounts to invest? What payment processors are you currently dealing with?

We currently offer 2 plans: 105% after 2 days and 130% after 10 days. The first plan is designed for those who would like to test the program or make a short-term investment. The second one is for more serious investors, as the earnings are higher and the investment term longer. Perhaps we will fine-tune our investment strategy and introduce a longer investment plan, this way our members will be able to get steady earnings once in a month. Check your e-mail once in a while as we send a newsletter to all members in case there are any news. As to the possible investment amounts: the minimum is $5 and the maximum is $5000 (per account). Our program accepts following payment processors: AlertPay, StrictPay, PerfectMoney, LibertyReserve, SolidTrustPay.

5. How secure is the program’s website? What measures have you taken to protect your self from malicious hacking attempts and DdoS attacks that are so prevalent in this business these days. Are you hosted on a dedicated server? Who is your hosting provider and what script are you using? Are they reliable service providers?

The hosting is provided by one of the best DDoS protection companies – DDoSWIZ. We have also installed a special filter channel recently, which filters all the incoming traffic and blocks it in case there are multiple requests. This way our website is safe against DDoS attacks. We use a script made by MonetarySoft. I have noticed that it is recommended on your blog, so I think there should be no worries about its safety.

6. How have you been promoting SteadyGrowthInvest 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?

We buy advertising on main popular resources dealing with online investments. But the core of our advertising strategy is global promotion. As you might have noticed, we have added Russian and German user interface and support in our investment funds. We promote our program on various resources in these languages and thus our website becomes more accessible for those, who do not understand English very well. In the near future we have plans of adding the Chinese language on our website and in our support department and posting a detailed instruction in all the supported languages for those who deal with HYIPs and payment processors for the first time.

7. Are you pleased with the progress and growth of SteadyGrowthInvest up until now? Can you give us any statistics regarding the membership numbers to date and the amount of money in active deposits? Tell us also about your future plans. As a short term plan, how much longer do you seriously think it can last?

Our program is growing steadily and we are satisfied with the growth so far. We are 82 days online, have currently 3787 registered members and the amount of active deposits in our funds is almost $730,000. But of course we are not going to stop here and will be putting all the efforts for further growth of our program.. As to the lifetime of our program – our investment resources currently generate steady profits and we have no plans of closing the funds.

8. What level of customer service and support do you provide? What is the most effective way to communicate with you if I have some questions?

Customer support is provided via a ticket system, which is implemented in the script. A member can create a ticket in one of the 3 languages and this way communicate with our support department. Every time there is a new reply within a ticket a member is notified by e-mail. Every member can also contact me directly via the yahoo messenger: weirfrancis. I will be glad to reply in case I am available.

9. A lot of good HYIPs have opened recently. There is a pretty big choice out there for the investor so if you had just one thing to say to potential investors to convince them to give you their money, what would it be?

I would like to tell potential investors that if they are looking for a safe and stable investment funds with relatively high returns, then they should consider looking at our program.

10. And finally as a professional admin, what advice can you offer the average investor to help him avoid the scams and maximize his earnings?

First of all an investor has to check a program he would like to invest in. Current statuses can always be found on forums and monitors. As everybody knows, most safe programs do not trumpet about themselves left and right, have a steady growing member base and improve over time.”

OK. I’d like to say thanks to Francis for taking the time and trouble to answer my questions there and must say that I really do appreciate it when an admin approaches an interview like this. Short answers but straight to the point and explain what you need to know in plain and simple terms. No nonsense and no cryptic answers that would require a second interview to explain.

I’ll still stand by my original assessment of SteadyGrowthInvest when I first reviewed it but will just remind you that a couple of things have changed (for the better) since that review. As Francis has already said support is now available via Live Chat so you can have him answer your questions in real time whenever he is online. The other thing is the translation of the site into other languages. I just want to confirm that it is a proper professional translation, and not the gibberish that often comes from online translation tools. Perhaps most importantly though is that they have started accepting AlertPay as a payment option.

That’s about it for today everyone. Be sure to check back again tomorrow when I’ll have all the latest news updates from all your favorite programs. And enjoy your weekend!
