Pre-Paid Legal recently came out with a new compensation plan in 2009. I just wanted to quickly go over the differences between the old $49.00 start up fee verses the new $249.00 start up fee. We’ll start off with the old start up plan.

The $49.00 Pre-Paid Legal plan:

If you decide to start your home based business with Pre-Paid legal at the $49.00 level you would get the standard welcome kit with applications, brochures, and the success CD. You would also get one month free of owning an affiliate Pre-Paid Legal website and be able to use a Pre-Paid Legal commercial phone number via Televox.

When you sign up your first recruit with a membership you’ll immediately get promoted from a Junior Associate to an Associate and earn $69.14 on your first sale. To get promoted to the next level in your Pre-Paid Legal business you would only need 3 Junior Associates to get promoted to a Senior Associate.

To give you an example of how much money you would make on your next 10 sign ups, considering you already signed up one Associate with a membership, would look like this: 10 x $69.00 = $690. Not too shabby.

The $249.00 Pre-Paid Legal plan:

If you believe in Pre-Paid Legal’s products and services enough to know that starting a home based business with them is the only way to go; I would definitely take advantage of the $249.00 compensation plan then. It’s also a good idea to take advantage of this business opportunity if you know a lot of people you can introduce Pre-Paid Legal to.

With the $249.00 plan you will get a business builder’s kit, versus only a welcome kit. This includes a Getting Started Right book, an Audio Training Program (3 CDs), applications, brochures, a success CD, 3 recruiting DVDs, recruiting CD, 3 months of a free affiliate website, and 3 months using a commercial Pre-Paid Legal phone number via Televox. That’s a lot of things you’ll get. Pre-Paid Legal does this because if you’re willing to invest at the $249.00 level, this probably means you will take the business a whole lot more serious than the member who signs up at the $49.00 level.

Now let’s take a look at how much you will earn off your first sale. When you sign up your first Associate with a membership you will be immediately promoted to a Senior Associate versus only an Associate at the $49.00 level. Because of this promotion you will earn $138.27 on your first sign up. That’s $69.13 more than someone who signs up at the $49.00 level. To get promoted to a Manager, you’ll only need 3 Junior Associates and 1 Senior Associate under you. Then you will be making $172.84 a sign up.

Let’s take a look at your next 10 sign ups once you’ve signed up your first Associate with a membership. That would be 10 x $138.00 = $1,380.00 versus only $690 with the $49.00 plan. That is $690 more you’ll earn at the $249.00 level.

There’s one more thing I should let you know. If you sign up one Associate with a membership and then sign up one more additional membership. Your $249.00 fee to get into your Pre-Paid Legal business has now been paid back. $138.00 x 2 = $276.00. This means you’ll be in profit after your first two sign ups. It can’t get much easier than this folks.

I was asked by a subscriber of mine if I could list paid to sign up bonus sites that offer an alternate way to pay their members besides Paypal or by check. So I went through all the sign up bonus sites listed at Sign Up and Make Money and found which ones pay their members using Alertpay as a form of payment. This is useful information because not all Countries have ease of access to Paypal.

The sites that pay their members sign up bonuses using Alertpay are listed below:

Survey Sites:

• AW Surveys = $6.00

Paid to Click Sites:

• Persian PTC = $0.10
• Nocturnal Email = $0.03
• Red Hot PTC = $0.05
• Red Neck PTC = $0.03
• Cool Wave Mail = $0.01
• V Linx = $0.05
• Max PTC = $0.05
• Pro Paid Email = $50.00
• Up Paid = $0.10
• Instant Cash Makers = $0.05

“Get Paid To” Sites:

• Make that Cash Money = $5.00

Free Advertising Sites:

• Advertise 4 Profits = $10.00
• Clickers Jamboree = $10.00
• Diamond Surf = $5.00 (plus free traffic credits)
• Cash Text Ads = $0.50
• Pro Builder Ads = $5.00

Bux Sites:

• Bux.to = $0.05 (unfortunately Bux.to is a scam)
• England Bux = $0.05 (in Euro)
• X Bux = $0.05
• Beany Bux = $0.25
• Click my Bux = $0.05
• Angel Bux = $0.05

• Bux Fox = $0.05
• Ara Bux = $0.50
• Panda Bux = $0.05
• Buxxto = $0.05
• Incrase Bux = $0.05
• Paid Bux = $0.05
• Perfect Bux = $0.50
• Buxillion = $0.05
• Bux Matrix = $0.10

Total = $94.07

There you have it, all the sites I could find that pay their members using Alertpay. For your information, the sign up bonuses these websites have to offer are not always going to be there. It would be in your best interest to take advantage of the sign up bonuses as soon as you possibly can.

Take the Internet Back is free to join and actually pays its members a $10.00 sign up bonus. The thing I like most about Take the Internet Back is you have to log in to view your paid to read e-mails, this way your regular e-mail inbox is a whole lot less cluttered.

Take the Internet Back has recently upgraded their site to much more smoother look. I really like what they have done. On top of the cool $10.00 sign up bonus, Take the Internet Back has also included a whole bunch of free downloads in your back office once you have signed up. Downloads like online marketing training, E-books, ad blasters, article submitters, tools to help your blog get more traffic, and much more etc…

You can also use Take the Internet Back as an online advertising resource, but I think their prices are kind of high. They have over 250,000 double opt-in members to show your website to. Members of Take the Internet Back will be interested to see what you have to offer because they own 90% of the business themselves. Yet Take the Internet Back charges $15.00 for only 1,000 e-mails and you are only guaranteed a 25% open rate. That mean I’m really paying $15.00 for only 250 hits to my online ad, but that still doesn’t guarantee the member will click on the link to visit my website. So you can see it’s a good idea to become a member, but I would stay away from their advertising. There are a lot more cheaper sites to advertise on where you’ll get a lot more guaranteed traffic to your website.

In order to cash in on Take the Internet Back you need to accumulate at least $50.00 in your account in order to receive your first payment with them. I’ve been a member for over a year now and haven’t been clicking too many ads, I would say less than one a month if you spread it all out evenly. I have referred over 80 members to Take the Internet Back and only have a cash balance of $11.50 so far. I really need to start clicking on some ads or it’s going to take me a lifetime to finally reach their $50.00 cash out minimum.

If you like Take the Internet Back and are interested in more paid to sign up sites that are free to join. Take a look at my paid to sign up page and feel free to let me know what you think of the cool sign up bonuses on the site.
