Double To A Million - Step 20 - 4 Year Anniversary
Today, August 2nd, 2010, is DTAMP's Four Year Anniversary.
It has been a rough road with ups and downs, sharp corners, pot holes, orange barrels, obstacles, road kill and occasional crashes.
Over the four years, those who have followed this adventure have seen successes and failures, Problems and victories, sickness and health and the torment of the neighbor's demon dog.
But things change in life and DTAMP is subject to the change as well.
I have just learned that the neighbor is leaving and as a result the dog will be departing. It figures as I just reached an agreement with the neighbor about a month ago and the dog has been totally silent since.
From a health perspective, I managed to survive the six painful BCG cancer treatments and will be going for an another surgery in a couple weeks to see if the cancer is gone. I am believing for a healing.
I have not been able to collect much money towards the stake for DTAMP over the months. The last hit with trading took the wind out of my sails and I have thought it best to rest, recover and reduce all stress that I can so my body can heal.
The result has been that nothing much is happening.
I am only about $2.00 away from being able to collect $100.00 from an un-namable advertising source. Can't seem to get there with that.
I have also been going through a frustrating Clickbank issue. I have five sales made with a total of $50.07 sitting in the account but I cannot get it. It should have been more but Clickbank has already confiscated $8.61 of it due to there draconian and unfair policies.
The confiscation is due to what they call dormant accounts:
Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of no earnings, $5 per pay period after 180 days of no earnings, and $50 per pay period after 365 days of no earnings.
So it is difficult for the small time struggling Entrepreneur to not only make the money but if you can't make it fast enough they start taking it away from you. It is of course unethical but that doesn't seem to stop them.
I have been considering not using clickbank but to do that I would need to shut down access to the free "How to Double Your Way to a £Million in 28 Steps" book.
Why are my funds still stuck in Clickbank and why haven't I pulled out the remaining funds that are in there? They have conveniently created another rule that stops a small time person in their tracks as well.
It is called the Customer Distribution Requirement which reads:
ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:
- Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers; and,
- Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.
So essentially you need five sales, all with different credit card numbers and they must be with two different card types. (visa, mastercard, paypal, etc) except that paypal doesn't even count towards one of the five sales.
That leads me to my predicament, as you can see from my clickbank report below I have five sales, four of which were with visa or mastercard with different numbers but the fifth sale was with paypal so I do not qualify to get my money.
I still need one more sale with a visa or mastercard in order that clickbank will release my $50.07 . If I cannot get another sale then clickbank will begin to abscond with the money in my account.
I want to thank those of you who have made a purchase after getting the free Doubling booklet and (*** I wanted to put it out there if there is anyone that is willing to make the next purchase of one of the products with a visa or mastercard, in order for me to get the five sales needed to collect my funds, I will send you the amount of the commission I receive for your purchase. We will just need to work out the details of how to get you the funds.
I only need one more sale so this offer only applies to the first person to get that fifth sale (with a visa or mastercard) I need.
I appreciate anyone's help with this. Thanks.
Just go "Here" and request the free Doubling booklet. Eventually, you will be given the opportunity to purchase some interesting products that you might find useful in your pursuit of making money. Simply purchase one of those products and we will make arrangements for you to receive the commission.)
(*** The Above Offer is no longer valid as I have had a sale with Clickbank and fulfilled the requirements.)
Well, it is off to another year, hopefully, of DTAMP. I hope the fifth year is more successful than all the previous years combined.

So glad that things are still ticking along. I have been hit by clickbank in the same way and have given up. instead I have written some of my own my own ebooks and am selling them on Amazon kindle and that is looking hopeful. Good luck with everything.
Thanks Rachel.
Good luck to you as well.
