Q. Although you are one of the well-known bloggers, would you please introduce yourself to our readers?

Hi, my name is John Stankiewicz and you may know me from the Simpsons… just kidding. Some of you may know me from the cycler/doubler years. I first came out with DOUBLERS.BIZ where I started to track all of the cyclers out there. I was approached by the largest downline club on the ‘net at that time (OWL, or One World Line) and I designed a site some of you may well recall: 1WorldDoublers.com. I was not only the designer, but the Researcher, Blogger, and Support person. OWL and I then launched a successful cycler that lasted almost six months, despite launching near the death of all cyclers and over a slow summer. I subsequently left that group and created 9PlanetReviews.com, unfettered by any Big Dogs and free to report on all cyclers (those that tried to rise up from the dust), HYIPs, ponzis, MLMs, Binaries, 1UPs, 2UPs and all other types of programmes out there. Prior to all that I’ve had about 15 years of MLM experience offline and had a very successful downline in Enrich International.

I am also a techie kind of guy and Engineer (Electrical/Computers) by training.

Q. Why did you decide to open 9PlanetNoSurf?

Why have I launched this site? Because, after the debacle of 2006, I have come to feel that what folks need is an honest Admin, with a real address so I can be hunted down, who will not run with your money, but run an honest game, for as long as folks keep coming in and spending. Know that it WILL close when the river dries up, so to speak. But I WILL NOT run with your money. Every time I try to run the Earth shakes. And I get winded. So there you go.

Q. How would you describe 9PlanetNoSurf? Is it a game? How does it differ from all other programs?

Let me put it this way. All other surfs and autosurfs are games. You and I both know that. 12By12daily was a game. 12DailyPro was a game. 13Dailypro was a game. 99% of all surfs are/were games. What’s in common? They all require you to surf but most of you in fact do not even pay attention to the ads (you can read my diatribe on that on my home page). So I decided to create a “nosurf” and just like it sounds I did away with the surfing part, for your convenience and to also lower the support requirements on my end in all kinds of ways. But… a part of my programme involves a Long Term Plan. The funds in that programme will be put into the ForEx market, under the handling of a professional trader and the daily profit will be met easily, I assure you, as I have found the right Trader for this. I will reveal the details once I have visited the Trader and observed him trading.

Q. We noticed that you have been preparing for your program for some time. How much did your readers contribute to the program? What has been the general response so far?

There was actually not that much to do in terms of coming up with the plans, since I stated from the beginning that I would attempt to replicate the popular 12by12 structure. What I had to figure out is how to incorporate a long term plan and how to dissuade the hit and runners, as much as possible. So for the most part I copied the concept and came up with a Long Term Plan. My readers (and others) were exposed to the plans over a couple of weeks and I did receive feedback, some of which I did incorporate in to the ROI structure. So you could say that MANY folks contributed to the plans, simply because thousands upon thousands of folks partook in those plans, but had to surf manually or automatically while they went and watched some TV, and so on.

Q. With the high ROIs you are offering, how do you intend to make this program last long? Will you be doing any sort of investment?

Read the above answers as I touch on that. Of course with the high ROI plans I would ask you: what plans did Dave Cannard have in place to pay such high ROIs? How about Trish of GAP? How about Charis Johnson? I think you know the answer.

Q. How much do you depend on your established reputation as a blogger for the success of your new program?

A lot. But not just as a Blogger. Many know me as an Admin and Support person from the past. Quite honestly, as a reviewer, if I came across a similar site and had to review it? I’d say, who’s the Admin? I don’t know him or her. What’s their past history? Does anyone else know him or her? And so on. I’d likely end up cautioning folks. You first have to establish some history in this arena, before you launch something like this. Else you’re likely just a scammer that will simply collect some money and start up another one.

Q. There are many risks and obstacles facing any program in the industry nowadays. How well are you prepared to face these obstacles?

Well, let’s see… secure server (you can’t even access it via ftp as that daemon is OFF), very high security, multiple e-gold accounts (no significant amount of money kept in the main one), licensed script with no back doors, I know the Admin (grin), you have my full address and phone number (been there the last five years), others know me and my reputation, what else? I’ve never had my e-gold account hacked. I use all the security tools necessary so that my PC is not hacked. Of course there is only so much one can prepare for. Right? All of these programmes are in fact high risk and you need to tell your readers not to play with their rent money, nor bet the farm, as this is NOT an investment vehicle.

Q. How do you intend to promote 9PlanetNoSurf?

You will promote for me. . So will a lot of other Bloggers. Word of mouth (via e-mail of course) will spread. Many will post in forums using their own ref. Links, as I pay down three levels, not just one. That will persuade many recruiters to go and recruit. Hopefully as word spread some of the Big Boys will also come in and spread it to their large lists and downlines. And so it goes.

Q. Using one sentence, why would you advise our readers to join 9PlanetNoSurf?

There is a very large potential in this one, so why would I advise your readers NOT to join?

Q. Many bloggers are opening their own programs. How do you evaluate this step?

Many Bloggers are not yet that popular. I’ve been around a long time in this arena. I applaud them for giving it a go, if they are honest and will not run with the cash. I know I won’t as I have too much at stake as 9planetreviews.com is my lively-hood. I will also support those Bloggers that I know and trust, in their efforts. At least many Bloggers can be held accountable if they have indeed provided their whereabouts, unlike many scammers out there. So this is actually very good for the whole industry. Launch on!

Q. Having been a blogger for around two years, what are the major difficulties bloggers usually face? How do you evaluate the progress of this industry over these two years?

For the most part, depending on how bloggers blog, they may be faced with ridicule or attacks because it may be perceived that a certain programme or other came to an untimely end because of the blogger’s comments. It’s very difficult, sometimes, to judge when to blow the whistle on a programme, or just keep your mouth shut. Even if you, as a blogger, have quite a bit of money in the programme.

Progress over the last two years? The key problem is that there are too many scam sites out there. There are also too many inexperienced admins who buy or acquire a hacked script and then either lose your money or run with it. Or don’t know how to get e-gold to unfreeze the account (or have provided false info so can’t unfreeze it). But… I see more and more known, trusted, and honest Admins coming out with their own programmes and doing it right.

The industry, as you know, has suffered quite a number of devastating hits. From INTGold going under, to Stormpay literally stealing our accounts and shutting down such big programmes like 12DailyPro, to scammers getting away with millions of dollars like SolidInvestment.com (despite warning from a few folks like myself). But I see some light at the end of this tunnel. We shall see.

Q. What do you think of eTalk Network in general, and eTalkMoney.com in specific?

I don’t think, as honestly, I have never investigated or looked at eTALK Network nor eTalkMoney.com. Why? As you know, I don’t even participate in forums! The most I’ve done is posted a few notes in MMG. I tend to stay out of the forums because of all the fighting, gossip, accusations, and so on that take place in those venues. Usually it is best not to comment in many of these forums so that egos don’t get in the way.

Now, I just took a brief look at etalkmoney.com and am quite impressed over the amount of material that is there! Nice work folks! And looks like you have a lot of discussion going on.

But you know? Am going to have to start getting more active in the forums, especially due to this launch of my own programme. Yours will be the first.

Q. Is there anything else you would like to add?

If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? The answer is: NO.
