Trick Guys in Completing CPA offers

Make Around $50 an hour, for noobs


I was going to save this for my hundredth post but o well. I will tell you how when using this method I was making around $50 an hour. Now this method is somewhat talked about and if there are ebooks covering it I am unaware.

General Overview
You will create a girls myspace account and use it to get people to sign up for free offers. These are the referrals you need to get free iphones and stuff like that. When you complete these free sites, they essentially pay you 50/referral. You will get people to be your referrals. I believe this has been used to have people sign up for your affiliates, but I think this works better because it seems to jive with your potential referrals better. Just read the script before you pass judgment.

Step 1- create a myspace account, and find a cute girls picture some where on the internet. I preferred to use a picture of a girl that has her back to the camera (so you dont actually see her face) and a nice tramp stamp. This will interest potential referrals only because they will ask for another picture, which you will send later.

Now fill in all the information, feel it in with information you think the guys will like. Like I love the office and the newest coolest band etc. Make yourself likable.

Step 2 - Add friends, you want to add friends that are in the local area of your fake girl. This will be used to lure guys into completing the offers.

you could message them something like "Hey whats up cutie, I just moved here and wanted to meet some cool people. Tell me about yourself."

This is good because they then think that you actually may want to hang out if you have a good connection.

Step 3 - Once you have some guys hooked ask them about there likes, favorite food etc etc. Dont waste too much time though! Once you have send about 4-5 posts between each other go to the next step.

Step 4 - Once you feel a good connection, you spring this on him. "Hey my little bro's b-day is coming up and I wanted to get him a wii. Problem is I only need one person to sign up for a free offer to get it for him... Do you think you could help me out? I would love ya forever " You can feel in whatever product you want from the freebie site you are completing. In my experience most guys I did this too said ya, what do I have to do.

Step 5 - Once they say yes give them your referral link to the freebie site. They will go to, you can tell them they can put in fake info if they really want (at this point I find it works best if I am instant messaging them so there is no disconnect in talking). Once they enter the info tell them what offer to complete. I usually tell them to complete blockbuster, sure it costs 10 dollars for them, but I usually hook them by saying something like "do the blockbuster offer, then you can rent us some movies for the weekend and I can give you a special present... " ( I know it disgusts me even telling you I once did this).

Step 6 - Remember its for your little bro's Christmas or b-day, whatever you want. Once they have signed up make sure to be checking that you got credit for there offer. And then never talk to them again. Although I have had several times where I actually got the guy to sign up for multiple sites.

This method works good because of the fact that you are using your little bro as a reason for them to sign up. It isnt a link for some dating site or anything like that, but for an actual toy etc (when in fact you receive paypal for the offers, but they dont know that). Also it is a very non threatening website.

Also say you referred someone through just a normal blockbuster affiliate program. you are only paid 30 bucks, whereas if you do it through the freebie site you are given 50. There are a bunch of freebie sites you can do it on, and if you do happen to do it to all you can just do it from a different ip and go again. If you need freebie links pm me and I will send you some.

Like I said I know this has kind off been covered but I thought I would offer my 2 cents.     

Create Sex Site and Promote with Social Media

[METHOD] Reinsteckers Social-Media-Automated-Wordpress-Blog-Earning-System


Reinsteckers Social-Media-Automated-Wordpress-Blog-Earning-System

I think it is time for me to give something back to the community. I started IM about 1 year ago and have definitely learned a lot at BHW. Unfortunately I never had success with anything non-adult I tried, and that is why is just do what I am good at: Earning with other guys jack-off needs

This method can also be done with non adult stuff and everything that can be displayed by pictures (cars, weapons, cooking, whatever).

Also I haven't reinvented the wheel. This is just a summary of what has worked for me compiled into a spoonfed manual.


  • Basic Overview


We are going to create a Facebook Page with some softcore pictures and a wordpress blog to monetize the whole thing. Also we are going to use tumblr, blogger and so on for traffic. Because we are lazy we will automate the whole process to almost 100%. Also we will get some more traffic without doing anything for it.

Facebook brings highly targeted traffic! And targeted traffic equals money!


  • What you need


You will have to create some social media accounts and phone verify the facebook account. (of course you can buy PVAS somewhere).
You will need a domain and hosting.
You will need tons of niche related pictures.

Advanced Renamer (Freeware) or anything to batch rename files.


  • How much can you earn

Like always: sky is the limit! You won't get rich overnight with this, but with some patience and a little work (dont forget this is automated) you can easily earn a few bucks a day. If you really grow this thing big there is tons of cash you can make.


  • Account creation and Facebook Fanpage

Alright lets start! But I have to warn you before! I will post ref links here (and of course also non-ref links). I think it would just be fair if you use the ref links. If you use them and PM me your account details i will give you a few things: -personal help with all problems, a ready to use installer package with wordpress, all the plugins, theme that you just have to install on your hosting and finally: Promotion for your facebook page, so it will grow faster!

So register accounts at:

- Facebook - register a normal user account (!!!!!!), pretend to be a girl. Find a good looking, non nude photo (should be hot, but reputable). Live in a big city, like girl-like stuff. Disable E-Mail notifications. Get some flirt and dating apps. Make lots of friends. Create some legitimate posts about shit people care about (earthquakes or whatever).

Now create a fanpage with your normal user account (DONT use a business account). Name it something like "tits and cars" or whatever you like to post about. I know there are already tons of softcore picture pages, but who the hell cares? You grab your piece of the cake and that's it.

-Google Webmaster Tools & Analytics
- sex.com, pinporn.com
- Blogger - similar name to facebook fanpage
- Tumblr -- similar name to facebook fanpage

For monetization we will need accounts at:
Plugrush
ref: http://www.plugrush.com/?ref=3567
non ref: http://www.plugrush.com/

Juicyads
ref: http://www.juicyads.com/ref2.php?ref=31728
non ref: http://www.juicyads.com/

Crakrevenue:
ref: http://www.crakrevenue.com/?referer=1072137
non ref: http://www.crakrevenue.com/

Maybe you have to have a website first, before you can register at one of them. If that is the case, go to the next steps first and then register the accounts later.


  • Fanpage setup

Create a title picture and add a hot girl as "profile picture" for your fanpage. Write some basic information about your page and post some pictures to your wall (remember: no nudity! otherwise your page might get banned quick). Like other pages like yours and comment on their entries (write nice and useful stuff, dont spam) to get some likes to your page.

If you want to, you can buy a few hundred likes at fiverr after a week or two, this helped me to get the page growing fast.



  • Blog creation


If you dont already have a domain and hosting get it now. Name your domain after your fanpage, or at least something similar. Also you can use subdomains, for upscaling purposes (having multiple blogs and fanpages) with just one domain (works fine for me).

If you need hosting and domain I recommend using Arvixe, they are cheap and reliable, domain privacy is free(!!!!) and I never had any issues with them!
ref: http://www.arvixe.com/5137.html
non ref: http://www.arvixe.com/

Now lets get started:
- Install Wordpress on your domain
- Go to adultsiteskins.com and grab a free adult theme (or use any other you like)

-Install the following plugins:
404 simple redirect
acurax on click popunder
automatic featured image posts
drafts scheduler
duplicator
google analyticator
hungred image fit
hupso share buttons for twitter,facebook (...)
nextscripts: social networks auto-poster
open in new window plugin
pingler
plugrush
seo friendly images
simple google sitemap xml
web***** auto tagging

Activate all the plugins

- Delete all posts, pages etc.
- Create a new category (if your page is "tits and cars" name your category "tits and cars")
-go to settings -> and set auto image posts to create drafts
-> webinja ats to add just your manual tags (add a few relevant ones)
-> 404 redirect to a crakrevenue PPL program
->seo friendly images to add your tags to your pictures
Go to Settings -> permalinks -> choose user defined (or custom or whatever) and insert /%postname%/%category%


-Add your domain to Plugrush and connect the Plugin by entering your Plugrush API Key
-Enable Popunders, Mobile Redirects and Adblock redirect to paid campaigns

- If you haven't done yet, upload the new theme via ftp to your wp-content/themes folder. Activate the theme at the Appearance section.

-Go to Appearance -> Editor -> Theme functions (functions.php) -> add the following code to the end of the file, just before the closing ?>
Code:
function myprefix_change_afip_post_content( $post_content, $attachment_id ) {
 
    $my_uploaded_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id );
    
    $post_content .= '<img src="' . $my_uploaded_image[0] . '">';
 
    return $post_content;
 
}

Alright now you have set up a basic blog!

Open Duplicator Plugin and save your blog to your local computer so you can clone it anytime.

Now take your folder with your images and use a batch renamer to rename them to somthing like titsandcars01.jpg and so on.

Upload at least 10 pictures by using the media section of wordpress. Your blog will automatically crop thumbnails and create posts containing the images. Publish all the posts. Congrats you have some content


  • Social setup and automatization

Go to Settings -> Social Networks Auto-Poster -> Add accounts for facebook, tumblr, blogger etc.

There is a detailed guide how to setup every account. You have to create a developers app, add the keys etc. Just check the guides and follow the steps.
Choose image post and timeline at the facebook options of SNAP.

Create a message like this
Code:
Check out our pictures here: http://yourdomain.com <p> Watch this entry at full size here: %URL%
Repeat that for tumblr and blogger.

Now upload a lot of images to your blog, creating a lot of draft posts (that may take a while). Go to Posts -> Draft Scheduler -> Choose tomorrow as start date, add a post frequency (every 2-4 hours is fine, dont post too often).

Finally add your blog to Webmaster Tools and Analytics. Configure Google Analyticator (self explanatory). Submit your sitemap to Webmaster tools.


  • Monetization


Now you have a blog that automatically posts to your social accounts and already brings in cash by using Plugrush.

Next step: Head to crakrevenue and create to animated 300x250 banner ads for dating and cam offers (Dating: PPL, Cam: PPS or REVshare). Choose offers for your target country/audience. Go to Appearance -> Editor -> banners.php at your Wordpress and insert the ad codes there.

Get a link for a PPL dating offer at crakrevenue and add it to acurax on click popunder (called popunder, right under your media section).

Create plugrush widgets that blend with your blog (colors etc.). Make it look like a preview of other blog posts. Add the iframe code at Editor -> single.php right after
Code:
<?php get_header(); ?>    
    <div class="main">
    
        <div class="content">

  • You are done!

There are more possibilities to monetize (Juicyads etc.). I will update this post later. I am very busy at the moment, so please allow a few days for that. I you have signed up as my affiliate i will provide you with the installer and more stuff the next days. Just send me a PM or post here.

Also I will explain upscaling methods, more tweaks and so on.

I hope I haven't forgotten anything. Please leave your feedback!

Commenting on Videos with Affiliate Offer

 Noob$ who aren't making any $ yet method


Ive been reading BHW for almost 6 months and finally joined and making a few posts here and there but never posted anything really worthy.
So this method is for the noobs who have not earned any money yet and who are still struggling. This was my first real earnings online.
When I was promoting it I was making $300-$400/monthly. Ive stopped promoting for atleast a month and im still getting $200/month.
Total earnings about $1,100 in about 3&1/2 months

PROOF
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l6.../earnings2.jpg
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l6...5/earnings.jpg


This may have been shared before and its not the best and easiest way to make money or the greatest,
but for the noobs out there who are still trying to make their first buck this is for you.


So down to business...

This method is working with $1 free sign ups with RUDE(adult site)
and youtube and/or adult chatrooms

Referral link removed by staff (wrong section for that)

Non-refferal sign up

http://www.rude.com


So first you will wanna sign up with rude.com (use refferal if your feeling nice id appreciate it alot)

YOU DO NOT NEED A WEBSITE TO GET ACCEPTED!
Once you cash out your earnings you will most likely get an email from
your AM asking you where your traffic is coming from because its all type in traffic.
Just tell them you promote on youtube with videos, its totally cool with them. Id recommend emailing your AM first to let them know
where your traffic is coming from so it won't delay you getting your check.

Once you get your linking codes you will need a domain to redirect it to.
I came up with easy to remember video domain from godaddy and redirected it to my aff link. Easy enough.

Then head over to youtube and search for sexy girls, hot ass, sexy teen porn, etc, etc ,etc.
Pretty much any video with a girl being sexy in it.

Then all were going to do is comment on the video saying something along the lines of
" i saw this girls videos on YOURDOMAIN.COM and there so hot" or " ive seen hotter girls on YOURDOMAIN.COM"
or "reminds me of the hotties on YOURDOMAIN.COM" you get the idea.

dont copy exactly, if you come up with something original
then you will make more. Also im sure most of you have seen some spam comments in there that look totally like spam,
DO NOT JUST POST YOUR URL BE CREATIVE WITH IT! You will get much better conversions if you post a comment in-directly promoting your link.
Like "damn shes so hot, i wonder if her videos are on YOURDOMAIN.COM because i love the free porn there" or whatever

I started off commenting on about 50 videos a day and making up to $40/daily.

Then i made about 10 videos of sexy girls w/ my aff link
example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM5LNiBo8oM

It starts getting a little annoying commenting every 2 posts manually and filling in captchas,
but if you just take 30 mins a day and do this then you will be making money in no time.

Also if you wanna try adult chat rooms a good line to use is
anyone wanna review my amateur video i just did? pm me
you will get a million pm's just copy and paste your URL
and tell them to give you an honest review..
I tried that one day and made an extra $25

Its not alot of money, especially compared to some of the ppl on here.
And it also takes some work but once you get lots of comments with
your URL out there you won't have to work as much.
But if your just starting out and looking for a easy method with $10 investment on domain
then this is a good starter method.. Also rude pays out twice a month and I've always received my check on time.

I think thats about it, so if you have any questions just ask.     

The Secrets to Media Buying - How IT makes Millions of Dollars

The Secrets to Media Buying - How IT makes Millions of Dollars


This is an edition to my series on BHW, The Secrets to Media Buying, How IT makes Millions.

The Secrets to Media Buying
How IT makes Millions of Dollars


Maybe you were sitting in finance or economics when the professor mentioned the concept of Time Value of Money. For our case and point the definition of TVM is the idea that money available at the present time is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This is a concept you need to set in your mind when joining the MB industry.

With that being said... let's look at the cycle of Media Buying to someone that doesn't know what they are doing compared to someone that knows what they are doing.

What you think:

TRAFFIC SOURCE ---> THE OFFER ---> PROFIT

What it really is:

TRAFFIC SOURCE ---> DATA COLLECTION ---> THE OFFER ---> DATA COLLECTION ---> LOSE MONEY

TRAFFIC SOURCE + DATA ---> THE OFFER ---> MASSIVE 800% RETURNS


Understanding the above is the difference between you spending $500 and losing it, to spending $1,000 and earning $4,000. It is the make or break difference in the business of Media Buying. Take note of it. Write it on a post-it, and stick it to the wall above your bathroom seat.

This business is about DATA.
Data controls everything.

In Media Buying the data we look for are:


  • Clickthrough Tags
  • Conversion Tags
  • Event Tags
  • Re-marketing Data


We'll eventually touch base on all of these, but in this post we are going to talk about the re-marketing data.

What is Re-Marketing


It's actually exactly how it reads. You are marketing to a re-marketing list. A list that captures the clicks coming from a user on your ads. This is going to get a little technical so try to stay with me....So let's say that you spend $5000 buying traffic, here is a realistic expectation:

$5,000 @ at $.50 CPC = 10,000 Clicks

or

$5,000 @ a $1.00 CPM would reach 5,000,000 impressions @ a CTR rate of .20% (industry average) = 10,000 Clicks

Ok, so obviously they're a lot of variables in the equation. You have a variable CPM, and a variable CTR. That is where skill comes into play. If you can be good at negotiating lower CPMs or be awesome at advertising and get high CTRs you will be extremely successful.

For example,

$5,000 @ a $.80 CPM would reach 6,250,000 impressions @ a CTR rate of .50% = 31250 Clicks <-- that is where skill is.

Re-Marketing is data that allows even a beginner to give themselves an advantage in the industry. You are basically collecting your own "lists". Then you create a campaign that markets ONLY to your Re-Marketing list.

Do you know how you may be on YouTube, or maybe on another site, and you are seeing ads for something you may have viewed like 8 hours before. Or even days before. THIS IS RE-MARKETING.

WE... the MB industry... have you on a remarket list, and we can push to you strategic advertising series of subliminal messaging.

One day I will get into the actual setup, but for now here is how you make a killing:

Name:  re2.png
Views: 7731
Size:  3.2 KB

Yep... 28.26% CTR. With the same ads.... this is what optimization is... this is what Media Buying is about.

In closing, the time value of money means. If I spend $5,000 today and collect my "list", over the next weeks I can continue to market to that list at a very affordable price. This makes my money more valuable and my initial investment valuable.

While you may not earn on the first campaign. Collect that list and do it again, watch what happens...

The Secrets to Media Buying - Getting Started

The Secrets to Media Buying - Getting Started.



The world of Media Buying is a fast paced industry that scares a lot of marketers due to rumors of losing very large amounts of money. However, a lot of marketers do not understand that Media Buying has completely changed in the past few years. As technology enables better tracking systems and ways of serving ads it created the forefront for demand side platforms, real time bidding, and for the first time ever, your 5 year old nephew can buy ad space on sites like NYtimes.com, PerezHilton.com, and FoxNews.com.

A lot of marketers learned that you cannot put your entire business into the hands of third parties. With one clean swipe Google changed the SEO game and business’s that relied heavily on organic traffic were destroyed overnight. Media Buying offers you the chance to control your traffic.

What is Media Buying?

Media Buying can be anything from buying banner space on a website, contextual ads, a sponsored tweet, or a blog post. In overall, the Internet has broken the doors of traditional advertising and now offers much different type of Ad networks. I have a comprehensive database with close to 200 Ad Networks. I have them broken by different types of Media, budgets, and experience level that these networks require. The key to this business is testing different advertising placements and finding the right media for your offer. The equation is rather simple on the forefront, but don’t underestimate the work that is required to produce a profitable campaign. If it was easy… everyone would be doing it.

Before we dive into the above equation though you need to ask yourself, what am I buying Media for? I find a lot of confusion where members think Media Buying is a “system” or “scheme” to making money. Media Buying is the process of getting traffic. The traffic that you send to your offer through Media Buying is what creates the revenue. Thus, they’re two sides to learning Media Buying, understanding the traffic and the Offer.

The Offer

Throughout my series, when you hear me referring to “the offer” this can mean a handful of different things. In my experience these are the offers I have worked with, I also compare the pros and cons to working with these types of offers.

What’s best?

In regards to getting the best ROI on you’re spending we highly recommend that members go the route of creating their own product. This is because when you are selling someone else’s product and receiving a commission you need to calculate that the product sale price is not your revenue and in fact it is 25% commission of that sale price. You also are producing more risk as you let more control go to someone else. For example, we have produced a ton of sales for an advertiser that we were affiliates for and then for whatever reason the advertiser decided to pull the offer down. Now, we have to figure something else out. Your goal is to minimize your risk as much as possible and with your own product this is the only way.

What's Next


I will dissect each one of these type of funnels starting with List Building.

The Secrets to Media Buying - List Building release date 3/15

Offer Amazon Products through Classified Ads – Part I

 Nothing working for you? Try this. Its easy


I know some people can't seem to figure out how to make money (no matter how easy a method is laid out) but if you can't post a few ads every day, something is wrong. Yea, I know the "BIG classified sites" have made it harder by not letting you post links, and filtering email responses, but I have 3 work arounds for you. Here is how simple the ad can be:


Example 1:


Title: Acer Laptop Computer
Price: $329
Location: Wherever

Body text:
I have an acer laptop for sale. Windows 7 installed Call XXX-XXX-XXXX





XXX-XXX-XXXX would be a number that you set up as a message number, that when they call, it directs them to go to your website.


Then they go to your website and see something like this:






Example 2:


Title: Acer Laptop Computer
Price: $329
Location: Wherever

Body text:
I have an acer laptop for sale. Windows 7 installed go to www.whatever.com





on classified sites, www.whatever.com only shows as a link if you put http:// in front of it, so instead of clicking it, they would have to copy+paste it to their browser.



Example 3:


Title: Acer Laptop Computer
Price: $329
Location: Wherever

Body text:
I have an acer laptop for sale.




They will see the website url in the ad and type it into their browser.


Then, just repeat several times a day, and you should start seeing something like this

Amazon + Youtube + Adsense + Email Marketing + Classifieds = Money

Amazon + Youtube + Adsense + Email Marketing + Classifieds = Money


Well here it is. Part 2 of my previous thread Here As promised, I tested another twist and it worked out.


  • Create an amazon website or use your current one.
  • This time we will use Youtube, so you will need to use a product that is workable with Youtube. We will use "movies" for the example.
  • Download "Youtube Downloader"
  • Go to amazon and find a few good movies





  • Choose the ones you want on your site, and place the links on your website





  • Then go to Youtube and find scenes from the movies you chose (I used "Ted" as an example)
  • Download the video with "Youtube Downloader"
  • Re-Upload that video, choose a different thumbnail, monetize it, and add your website links to it





  • Now, get a list of emails (scrape them, buy them, whatever)
  • Send out an email campaign to those emails, and include the link to your video and your website link in the email
  • Then, do the same as in my original amazon method Here and also include the link to the video clip.


Here is what I made with adsense alone in one week




Additionally I made $203.82 between Amazon, Clickbank, and a couple of my own products.


Total Income = $620.28 for 1 week. I will probably keep doing this one


P.S. Ted was only an example! Movies were only an example! Use your head, and your imagination. Do not try to copy this exactly!

$7000 Net Off eBay Last Month, Heres How...

$7000 Net Off eBay Last Month, Heres How...

Ok I've gotten a ton of requests for this tutorial... however I must say this is going to be pretty short. This has already been said in an ebook on here, but I did it and it worked ha.

I'm a little tipsy right now, just got home off a party bus. My gf is in my ear tellin me to get off this thing and I'm close to leavin.

With that said...

I took something out of the 90k flipper thing a majig, ran with it, and made some money. I've already made more money this month as I expanded but that is neither here nor there. <--- Haha, I've always wanted to say that.

Ok, so I've been selling replica iPod Nano's for the last month and made decent money. Just over 7k net to be exact. No problems with eBay or anything eelse.

In fact, as long as you say it's a replica in your auction and in the title eBay really doesn't give a shit (they only really care if someone complains, at least in my experience). The only snag is if you get a customer that doesn't read shit and bitches
 shit and bitches because you sold them a replica. THis is a bit of a problem on eBay, but if you protect yourself in the description and title it shouldn't be a real big deal.

I've been purchasing these "iPods" off of Alibaba.com, now I know this will scare some of you because Alibaba is synonymous with scammer. However I assure you there are legit sellers on there, but it takes some questioning.

I think it was Yowza (probably fucked that up) or another member that said he had a brother in china that was finding all his connections and they were on alibaba. THERE ARE LEGIT SELLERS THERE!

A gold supplier is a start...

However I spend about three days questioning the individual seller looking for discrepancies and differences in his/her responses. I'll usually ask for some references of previous business, they will usually give up some if they are legit. I'll contact them askin the same type of questions and look for differences in their responses.

(Any "iPod" you get from alibaba is fake for the most part, however that doesn't mean you can't sell em for a big gain)

I'll then ask for a sample, most of the time is one or two units of the product. Most legit sellers will be willing to do the initial sample order, just say you are looking to do high volume every month. However most of the time if you do a sample they will say you have to pay close to retail. Whatever I don't really care because if it's legit, it's still less than a real iPod and I can usually sell that same one for a little profit.

Going after branded electronics on eBay is a waste of your time. Have you ever typed in "Apple iPod 30GB" into the search on eBay? Did you see how many pages of results you got? Sure you can make a couple bucks selling iPods but the real money is unbranded electronics.

Dehumidifiers, dvd players, dvd projectors, "ipod" replicas, this is where the money is at. I've made money with all these products in the past. Most people on eBay are looking for a deal. They are cheap! A ton of them can't afford the name brand electronics, this is where you come in.

There will always be a market for this stuff. As long as you test out the product yourself and make sure it's legit you won't have any problems. Just make sure to explicitly state that it is a replica. Most people have no problem purchasing a replica as long as it works like the real deal.

As far as payment for these items...

NEVER PAY VIA WESTERN UNION, WIRE TRANSFER, or BANK TRANSFER.

If you’re going to do business with people overseas, pay on your terms. You should use either Paypal.com, Escrow.com, COD, letter of credit, or credit card (cc is usually my last choice).

Here is the reasoning behind them all…

Paypal.com – if you do end up getting scammed, you can file a dispute and get a charge back as long as a credit card is linked to your account and not a debit card. Plus when you’re about to send someone money via Paypal you can see whether or not they are a verified user right before you send the money (I usually stick with verified users if I'm using paypal).

Escrow.com – I stress Escrow.com and not any other escrow service because there are a lot of escrows run by scammers that work with other scammers! Escrow works like an intermediary; they hold the payment until you confirm you’ve received the goods and tell them to release the payment. Escrow.com is very legitimate and I’ve used them tons of times, but I won’t trust any other escrow service.

COD – Cash on delivery is a great way of paying, however it is becoming more and more rare these days. However I have found wholesalers in the past that are willing to use this method.

Letter of Credit – This is basically like an escrow system through your bank. Your bank will freeze the funds in your account and contact the sellers bank letting them know that you are waiting for the goods. Once the goods are received, your bank will then release the funds to the sellers’ bank.

Credit Card – This would usually be my last resort. I would have to be pretty sure about my transaction to use a credit card. However in the worst case scenario with a credit card you can do a charge back and then simply cancel that credit card. Normally credit card companies are fairly understanding if you contact them about getting scammed.


I know there is a ton of people saying, NAH you can't sell replicas on eBay or Alibaba is just all scammers. Well you know what, someone is making it work! If you aren't, someone is.

Do your due diligence with the seller and use common sense. If they are asking for Western Union or an outside escrow service then you're probably getting ripped off.

Listen, I know this was probably a bit vague n what not but I'll try to improve upon it tomorrow (actually later today) when I'm in a better state of mind.

If you have questions, just drop em here and I'll try n help you later.
