Years ago I explored PLR products and made some use of them. But I found that majority of it was outdated, hard to find current information on topics. Does anyone know of a good source of fresh, current PLR?

I tried it and was very disappointed by their support, as in there was basically none. Live & learn even after all these years.

In 2015 I purchased the original 5-Figure Day program, and actually started making money with it. They were using Clickbank at the tine, and I received $60 each payment. At $97/mo., funds ran low and I couldn't continue. But I always felt it would've grown if I kept it up. Now I see that it's called 5-Figure Day Full Throttle, and changed quite a bit. They're with WarriorPlus now, and I'm thinking of going there again since I did get some some return the first time. But before I do, has anyone had any experience with this program? I'd like to hear from those who have actually worked it, or anyone who has verifiable information if it's good or not (not reviews from obviously biased 5FD users ). Thanks! -- Joel

Yes, I heard about the PayPal fiasco. I remember you from years ago when I hung out here the first time around. Cool to see that you're still here, with the same profile pic/avatar, lol. That reminds me, I need to add one. EDIT: Done. Thanks Darren! I was pleasantly surprised to see that my accounts with List Jumper, Adchiever and here were still intact. Thought I had deleted them years ago when I didn't think I'd be back. Nice to find I could pick up where I left off.

Well here it is 6 years later and I've returned to IM and safelisting and all that it entails. My reason for leaving was a mixture of health issues for both me and my wife, and lack of time due to those health issues; but things have improved to where I can get back to it, and basically pick up where I left off. A lot of my favorite safelists have disappeared, sadly, but many of them remain, and I found a couple newer ones that I really like. Starting over is strange, but I did once, I'll do it again. The upside is I have more time now that I took early retirement. See ya 'round! -- Joel

The title of this thread immediately threw me back to the late 90's with the now famous "This dumb little ad" promotion of Cookie Cutter. lol

The greatest lesson I learned, early on, was that there really is no such thing as getting rich quick. There is no such thing as making a livable income without a website, without selling, without doing anything at all. Whenever someone throws that pitch, I laugh and click away to something else. To make money online, you MUST work at it. You DO need a website. You DO have to do some kind of selling. You DO have to do SOMEthing - and you have to do a LOT of it.

There are a couple dozen or so spammers who keep coming back to my spam folder, even after clicking the unsubscribe button. After a few times of doing that I stopped clicking and just let them pour in, never open them, and let Google delete them after 30 days. You'll rarely find legitimate email in your spam folder if you make sure to set up filters for all senders that you do want to hear from. Any new legit senders who don't have filters set up for them yet, won't usually go to the spam folder because they're not sending anything that pulls the trigger. Basically, your efforts should be focused on legit senders, and the spam will fall by the wayside automatically. Google will take out the trash for you.

It's much faster to search for and find targeted content for my blogs. It pulls in content from multiple sources all at once, displays it to me, and I can simply drag & drop snippets that I want to share with readers. Curation is not the same as spinning (for those who aren't aware). It's much like a museum curator, who finds the best pieces of art to display in his museum. For blogs, I'm simply finding the best bits of relevant content, and putting it on my blog. All properly credited, of course, and I do add my own thoughts and original info as well. But curation software saves a lot of footwork for finding extra content.

Does anyone here have experience with content curation? It's something I'm seriously considering, and have found two software tools to help with that. But having no experience with them, I'm hoping someone can help me decide which one to get. I know that ultimately it's up to me, what features attract me, etc. But I'm looking more for advice as to user friendliness, stability, and basically best results. The two products I'm looking at are CurationSoft and Curation Traffic. If anyone has used one or both, I'd appreciate your thoughts on them.

I love the concept, and it's nice to see the site is mobile responsive! And yes, it's better in the long run to invest in a your own domain and hosting. These days you can find good but inexpensive deals for that.

Awesome and great idea! I haven't been as attentive to social media as I should be, so maybe this will help.

In all honesty, since I can't afford paid advertising, I have no choice but to use free sources. TE's fall in that category.

Yes, that really is annoying. An upsell every now & then would be fine, as a reminder, but every single time is just too much. Agreed, though I'm not sure how that can be avoided without hiring a full-time team of vetters to check every business opportunity that gets advertised. Again, yes, that doesn't seem fair. Not sure what the logic is behind it, but I'll probably find out when I start running my own list.

I appreciate all the responses so far, and welcome more. It's helping me to figure out how to best serve the people who join my safelist when I launch it in the near future.

I try to put in a normal 8-hour day, but working from home it doesn't always work out that way, lol. Usually I end up doing a few hours in the evening as well, to make up for lost day hours. One of these days the income will be bigger than the outgo, and I won't have to worry about it.

A few times each day I get this warning when opening a credit mail: Be careful with this message. It contains content that's typically used to steal personal information. Learn more[Report this suspicious message] [ignore, I trust this message] I've been deleting those without clicking any links, but do I really need to worry, or is it something Google is being overly careful about?

I'll try that, thanks. I'll also try sending even when it's greyed out and see if I get a copy sent to me (a few mailers don't send copies to the sender). Another similar issue with a third mailer is that the HTML editor doesn't display any buttons at all, it looks like a plain text editor. But I can enter the code and it's delivered as HTML anyway, so it's not a big deal right now.

Thanks again for such detailed info. I'm currently weighing my current memberships in many lists against time-cost and other criteria, to get the most out of them. There are a few low-credit lists I'm staying with, because they do offer value in other areas besides simple credit mail. Of course SOTAM is packed with value as well.

There are two safelists I use where the HTML mailer isn't working properly. This is what happens:Click the HTML (or Source) button on the mailer interface A window pops up where I enter my HTML message. Click the 'Update' button. The window closes Where I expect the message to now be inserted into the message field, there is nothing but blank gray space.This occurs only in Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, the new Opera and a few others like it. IE is fine. I was told to try updating my Java, which I did, but no change. No idea what else I can try to make it work in my usual browsers. I DO NOT ever use IE except for testing purposes, so I really need these two mailers to work in Chromium-based browers. Has anyone else experienced this, or know a solution?

Paul, that's an excellent post. I've been using SOTAM for a few months now, and it's good to get some clarification of things straight from the source. As much as I like SOTAM, and now have an even better understanding/respect for what you're doing, I still have to agree with the part of Sean's post above regarding the amount of emails one has to click through to earn enough credits. I have no idea how list owners determine the number of credits per email, but I find that SOTAM is amongst the lowest. With the number of safelists and TE's I must surf each day, I tend to use those with the higher credits, and am starting to weed out the lower ones. And I can't afford to upgrade or purchase credits and such at this time. Rock <=me=> Hard Place.

Thanks, kingmaker. Yes, it's been working fine for a couple weeks now, since I first posted this.

Yes, it was down for about 8-10 hours that day. Long time ago now, lol. Been fine ever since.

I've only done some credit mail reading on my tablet, which is okay in a pinch. Usually it's for a certain safelist that allows only one tab/window open at a time, so I do it while watching a movie, LOL. I'll try to make some time to try out the various lists on my phone and tablet: sending mail, general use of the sites, etc. It would be good to know, like you say.
