I was cleaning off my desk this morning and came across that check I got from CSG. I’m sort of afraid to cash it because I don’t want it to bounce and cost me money. I thought I would take a quick visit to their site to check out the backoffice and see if anything new was happening. The link didn’t seem to work. What the…? I figured they were all done, but then a new website appeared. It is something called HomeownerMedia.com.

I can’t get over how many companies these guys have going on. I will see about putting together a list some day but suffice it to say, they have a lot of companies floating around the web all interlinked and referring to each other as “Strategic Partners” or some other term that implies they are not owned by the same company.

So I poked around the new site and found a way to log into th backoffice. There are some new things, some of the same things, different pay plans and still no way to contact them. So I opened a ticket asking what is going on. We’ll see if I get a reply. They haven’t sent an email out to anyone in months so I seriously doubt they plan to respond to anyone. 

There are no doubt some very upset people who paid for the $997 (or whatever) upgrade and now are sitting there with nothing. If this describes you, I recommend contacting your State’s Attorney General, Department of Consumer Protection and/or Department of Banking. The BBB is pretty much a useless organization but you can complain there as well if you want. If you have an attorney friend, maybe you can have him/her write a letter demanding a refund since the company seems to have changed their business from what you paid for. If you don’t ask for what you want you will never get it. SPEAK UP!!!

Anyway, I thought I would continue following this company as they try to figure out how many more people they can make money off without providing any sort of customer service at all. I guess they never heard of the term “outsourcing.”

So I look through the mail today and there is a check from CSG in there for like $75.00. Just a check. No other information at all. I have no idea what it is for. There is no mention of anything in my backoffice either. Hysterical.

I have been spending pretty much all of my time on real estate investing this year so I’ve really done nothing with affiliate marketing. I can’t figure out why I am having so much trouble taking a day or two a week and focusing on building a site around a niche. I mean really, how hard is it to get that ball rolling? I get fired up on a plan and an idea and then it would fade, then I’d ramp up again, and it would fade.

I’m not sure why it is so difficult to get that business in gear. That’s what this website was originally supposed to be all about – affiliate marketing and building an online business. A blog with affiliate links and adsense ads and all that. Maybe even a product or two of my own. So far it has mostly been posts about a now semi-defuct startup company that I never expected to make any money off in the first place.

In any event…on to 2008. What is the plan? I will have to get back to you on that one. As of right now, my plan is to build a real estate niche site. Basically a free foreclosure information site. This way, I can focus on what I’m doing and what I want to do at the same time. I have all this knowledge on real estate investing, why not put it to use in the online world? I plan to build the site and add content as I go, then I’ll work on monetizing it. Maybe add some adsense ads, a paid member area, some affilite products and services and who knows…

I wanted to get this information to you all right away.  I recently started working with a credit repair company that I’ve been very impressed with. They’ve been practicing credit repair for over 7 years and during that time, they’ve helped over 30,000 people with their credit, and repaired over 100,000 credit reports. 

They’ve launched a special promotion this month. which is actually why I’m posting this today.  If you ever wanted a second chance with your credit, I’m giving you the heads up on what I believe is the best opportunity anywhere to legally repair your credit.

The name of the company is “DSI Solutions”, and they are a leader in the credit repair industry.

I was really amazed at their results. They always keep you updated, and you can contact them anytime. And I think this recent promotion makes their service pretty affordable for just about anyone.

If you work with people in foreclosure, this is a great additional service to offer to them once their situation is handled to help build up their credit scores again. Realtors and even mortgage brokers can send clients here if they don’t qualify for a mortgage to help them improve their credit scores easily and professionally.

They work with all 3 major credit reporting agencies and you can expect to see results within the first 60 days. They take care of everything. I highly recommend you check them out, I managed to give you a head start on their promotion, so go to http://partners.repairyourbadcredit.com/z/60/CD635/ for the details.

All the best,

Steve

p.s.  I forgot to mention they fully guarantee their service too.  If they don’t produce, then you don’t pay. It’s risk-free, check it out. 

As far as I’m concerned, there is no company there. Money has vanished from my account and there is just nothing going on. The company appears to be dead. If you are considering joining and you’re here looking for opinions on the company, here is one for you… don’t waste your time.

If you really want to get into the business of foreclosure prevention, I will be posting more info soon on a few ways to do that profitably. You can make good money, but there is a lot of work involved. If you are afraid of working hard, get a job, don’t start a business.

I’m actually going to be doing my own thing soon too so look for that. I can tell you that it will NOT be Freedom Foreclosure Prevention or any of the other companies that want a ton of money from people just to join. And there will be NO recruiting bonuses just for signing people up. I am tossing around the idea of a 2-tier affiliate deal, but details are a long way off.

At this point the plan is to build a free, informational, self-help type of site for homeowners who are heding toward foreclosure. Then I might add paid services and info products eventually. We’ll have to see how things unfold. For now, I think most so called “loss mitigation” services out there are just ripping people off. That is just my opinion of course. Much of what they do the homeowner could do themselves if they knew how.

Gotta run…more coming soon.
