I ran into this rare promotion not too long ago and I thought I would share it with everyone. I don’t know how long Sharebuilder and ING Direct will be offering this opportunity. If you’re into investing, you might as well get some free investing credits at Sharebuilder while they last. You can earn a $25.00 sign up bonus in free investing credits.

Trading with Sharebuilder costs $9.95 for every trade. One bad thing about Sharebuilder is there trades aren’t exactly very fast. In my experience, I’ve submitted an order online and to buy some shares of a stock and about 3 hours later they will finally buy it for me.

Do you know how much the price of a stock can fluctuate in 3 hours?

That’s right, a whole hell of a lot. I have the same trouble with selling shares. I purchase my selling trade, then hours later Sharebuilder will finally sell off my shares, or even worse, wait until the next trading day to sell them off. This bothers me, but if you’re into long term investing, it shouldn’t be a problem for you.

So you know what you get, about 3 free trades.

What do I get?

Not much, just 2 real time trades (not really real time) and 5 automatic investments (which I don’t ever use). I can only get credit for these things a number of 5 times. That’s it.

So I’m writing this post in benefit of you more than me. If you would like to be invited, let me know by sending an e-mail to me with your name and e-mail address. I will send you an invitation. Otherwise, just join with the first link in this post to be taken to Sharebuilder’s main site.

Take a look at some more investing sign up bonus sites and let me know what you think.

Now I know what you’re thinking, “Is this guy crazy? Of course they’re all scams!” Don’t get me wrong. I’ve had my fair share of scams since I’ve been in the online money making business. Scams obviously do exists, but most of the MLM business opportunities you see popping up all over the place are legit. I would say about 70% to 80% of them are not out to rip you off, but are actually legitimate ways to make money online.

Sometimes what makes a multi-level marketing business opportunity a scam is the simple fact that you joined up with super high expectations only to find out a month later you haven’t signed anybody up.

What does this mean?

Well, it doesn’t mean that particular mlm business opportunity is a scam, it just probably means that particular mlm businesses opportunity just wasn’t the right one for you.

The business opportunities that are legitimately priced (such as low $10.00 to $40.00 monthly membership fees) are most likely not scams.

But if get some guy calling you up and asking for $500 to $1,000 and promising you the world, then we most likely have a problem. So, let’s quickly go over a few signs of a scam:

• Very high fee.
• Product doesn’t match the monthly fee.
• You got a sales person calling you very aggressively to sign up.
• Claim you will get a bunch of free traffic or sign ups just for joining.
• Make it sound like you don’t have to do anything but sign up to succeed in the business.
• Promise you huge earnings without any work.
• Ask you for money upfront and promise you free money in the distant future.
• Haven’t been in business very long.
• Can’t find very much information on them when you search the web.

OK, so now let’s go over some signs that the mlm business opportunity is most likely a legit one:

• They have been in business for a few years.
• Low fee to join.
• Don’t promise you extraordinary earnings for doing no work.
• Are realistic and show you how many sign ups you’ll really need to reach payout.
• Minimum payout is $100.00 or less.
• Product looks legit and makes sense.
• You can find information about the mlm on the worldwide web.

Always do your due diligence when joining any kind of mlm business opportunity that cost money. I have tried many and failed at many and only succeeded with a few. The few I succeeded with were because they were the right ones for me. The other ones I failed at weren’t scams. I just didn’t have what it took to promote their particular product or service.

I’m ultimately for free ways to make money online verses mlm opportunities. I’m not one of those people like to hop from program to program. It just doesn’t seem beneficial to me. I currently have 3 mlm business opportunities that I have been building now for the last three years. They are all growing at a good rate.

I’m glad I ventured out and tried a few things before I found 3 great programs that worked for me. Now if I ever promote anything other than these 3 programs, they are always free affiliate programs that don’t cost a single dime to promote.

So what’s the moral of this blog post? Well, it’s simply to let you know if you fail at a multi-level marketing business, that mlm business probably isn’t a scam. It just means it wasn’t the right business opportunity for you in the first place. So you need to keep searching until you find the right one for y0u.

There is a famous saying I want to share with you.

The average millionaire tries out 7-10 business ventures before they find one that works.

This simply means, don’t give up!

Found a couple more sign up bonus sites. I would like to personally thank Gordon for introducing Clicks Vista to Signupandmakemoney. His affiliate link is used both in this blog post and at the main sign up bonus list. After visiting Clicks Vista, I was lucky enough to find yet another sign up bonus site entitled Quids Corner. I know it’s an odd name, but it still has potential for some free income earning possibilities.

Let’s get started, shall we.

Clicks Vista is free to join, they offer a 25 cent sign up bonus. Unfortunately, it looks like Clicks Vista is only accepting members from the United States and Canada. If you are from another Country, they will oddly refer you to Quids Corner. This shows me that both sites are probably owned by the same individual or entity.

Clicks Vista claims to be a paid to read, paid to click, paid to sign up, and last but not least, a cash back shopping site. That seems to be a lot of ways to earn, but we’ll only know by giving it a try.

Quids Corner offers a sign up bonus, but they don’t promote that on their sign up page. You can actually get a 25 cent sign up bonus as well by joining Quids Corner. I find that to be quite odd. After I signed up, thankfully the sign up bonus was deposited without any delay.

Quids Corner claims to be a paid to read email site as well as a cash back shopping site. If you know much about me, I’m not really too big into cash back shopping sites. This is mainly due to me not being a big shopper. I mean, in order to get cash back, you got to spend the cash first. You have to realize that this is not very easy for penny pinchers to do.

Both sign up bonus sites look to have a Blog and Forum attached to them. If anything else, these two sites may be simply a good way for you to network what you currently got going on at the moment.
