No Bullshit HYIP Blog, A Part of No Bullshit Network

Profit sharing has been around for a couple of months now. What’s being termed as the “old school” model, which is a static percentage earned every day for a static number of days, has been losing ground for a while. Fewer and fewer HYIPs/Autosurfs using the old school model are opening sucessfully and even fewer are surviving. In the wake of old school failures came the profit sharing model. The PS model consists of earning a percentage of your deposit based on a percentage of the previous day’s revenue. The percentage is usually capped at 10-15%. You continue earning until you’ve reached XXX% or the program folds, whichever occurs first.

What’s good about the PS model is that you can easily see when withdraws begin to exceed deposits. This is a double-edged sword because a slight downward trend can cause a panic run on withdraws, closing the program prematurely. What’s wrong with the PS model is that it is still a ponzi. As I’ve stated in previous articles and comments, being a ponzi is not necessarily a bad thing, even though it is illegal. You can get in and get out with a profit, although the majority will lose. Some of the PS programs include other things like advertising sales, lottery tickets, investments in other PS models, etc. with the daily deposit profits. The external things lengthen a PS program’s life, but the majority of income is still the deposits.

DesrtSkyMarketing was probably the best known PS model, although it wasn’t the first. Dustin is a good administrator and he’s trying hard to make DSM work. Although DSM2 closed prematurely, he is looking at launching a new site, perhaps tomorrow. DSM suffered from hit-and-runners. With the comings and goings of programs, the hit-and-run strategists have increased significantly. If I were to take a poll and people were honest, it would most likely show that there are more hit-and-runners, than program loyalists. Hit and runners are here to stay and programs have to either accommodate them or try to prevent them, if they are going to survive.

All of this brings me to LightHalzen, which opened March 5, 2007. They are a typical PS model with a twist. While some programs have tried to inhibit hit-and-runners by requiring a 50% upgrade to get paid, “Lemon” and “Unsaid” (the administrators), have come up with what I think is a unique idea. To inspire program loyalty, while accommodating hit-and-runners, they reward loyalists by paying them faster (earning a higher daily ROI) and still pay hit and runners at half the speed. (“Lemon” and “Unsaid” are long time MMG posters and are very active in the MMG LightHalzen thread.)

Not only did LightHalzen present a reward system for loyalists, they branded it. The system is called the “Knight System.” Members are divided into Young Knight (1st investment), White Knight (reinvest 50%+), Dark Knight (not reinvested) and Supreme Knight (reinvest 100%). They also created a cute avatar. Branding is a good way to increase loyalty, because it creates a feeling of familiarity among people.

Sidenote: The above link to LightHalzen does not have a referral ID. Dolphin has written excellent articles and an interview about LightHalzen, so I encourage you to use her link, if you join. As with any program, please do your homework before investing and only invest prudently.
