Reviewpanel is a unique Market Place for everybody who is interested in every aspect of legitimate online business including FOREX.
We have started this project sometime ago, when Forex business moved away from merely institutional to private investors. It was not so complicated in the beginning to find a good and reliable broker.
Retail brokerage was expensive and only for experienced users. Nowadays where new forex brokers appear on the market each month and real trading is possible with a small budget it’s getting very complicated. We are not saying that new companies are bad or not reliable; often they offer more comprehensive service than existing corporations, but to find “Mr. Right Broker” customers need to know more details, facts, impressions and opinions about these companies.
We are trying to collect as much information as possible about each forex related product available on the market, especially direct services as brokers, signal services, managed accounts and automated trading tools.
Even more we also give the brokers the option to discuss questions with you and enter their comments to user comments; no matter if positive or negative. You can help us and other active or potential market participants to find out "the good, the bad and the ugly" players which exist with good and bad attitude. We will update all information on a regular basis that is available for us.
Our main option for you on this great market place is the SNAP. This means a kind of SNAP shot you can present as a member of our community on Reviewpanel. This is a place where we ensure that you get nothing but the best. Whatever you think of – simply do it – if it is only Forex!
Meanwhile, we at reviewpanel highly recommend etoro forex broker for their outstanding trading platform and a friendly customer service that is next to none.
You can sign up for a practice account through the site.
NOTE: we are not 'just another ForexBastard' ;-)
To your success.

Read This Before You Join Any Program
More and more work at home programs are becoming available and with each one the claims of income also increase. The legitimacy of many of these programs comes into doubt at just a first or second glance. However, there are many opportunities and programs that appear to be genuine on the surface.
Our aim was to find out if these were credible and legitimate make money online programs.
Therefore, we shortlisted a large number of such programs available online and subjected each of them to a rigorous test drive over the past few months and decided to present them as this months review panel meeting.
Brief Summary of Findings
Our results were quite interesting and we can make the following summary conclusions. Firstly, these programs will not make you rich in a short time. The majority of them failed to make any money at all. Secondly, the ease of use and the ease of the methods involved varied a great deal. A lot of the programs offered very little practical knowledge and were lacking in instruction. (which is why we failed to make any money from them). Thirdly, a fair share of these programs wanted us to pay them more money which they did not actually disclose at the beginning. These were the main things we found.
However, what did surprise us is that we managed to produce some results with around six of all of the programs we tested. Not all produced a substantial income, but there were a couple that did stand out. If you are interested in pursuing any of these programs, you should be careful about which one you want to subscribe to. In what follows we will present our findings in more detail as well as information about each of the programs that made us a very reasonable income.
Detailed Information
Anyone who browses the web often will tend to come across a very large number of advertisements for work at home and make money online programs displayed on websites and search engines. During our research we counted in excess of 540 unique advertisements all making promises of significant income levels if a person was to purchase their program.
The following were typical ads that we came across:
As you can see, these ads make huge promises, and it all sounds very nice and appealing. But the question must be asked. Since the Internet is littered with these types of ads, is it really true or is it just too good to be true?
To answer this vital question, We conducted tests over the past few months on 37 programs in the "work at home", "make money online", "home business" markets. We arrived at this shortlist of 37 programs by monitoring the most prominently advertised programs on the Google, Yahoo, MSN and Ask search networks. As these are most popular search engines and portal sites, these ads probably reach most online surfers. So we made sure that we chose programs that were reaching people and which people would be likely to buy due to this heavy exposure.
All of these programs are still currently running and are open to new members, and they are all based on one premise (upon which they make their promise): That they will help you to make lots of money online.
Why are such programs so abundant and popular? The Internet's vast popularity and reach has made it extremely easy for the average person to earn anything from extra income to a complete living online. As the cost of entry is relatively low, these programs are becoming very popular. Generally speaking, large investment sums are not needed.
You don't need to be a technical expert because lots of free resources are available that allow you to facilitate many of the tasks such as publishing online. Given these facts, if you were to receive good tuition from a legitimate work at home or online business program that gives you step by step instructions, you can be successful fairly quickly.
A word of caution must be mentioned here. A lot of the websites that offer work at home, make money online and home business programs offer credentials and testimonials that sound inflated. In some cases we found claims that people on their programs were immediately making $20,000 or more in a single month. However, from our testing of these programs over a few months our results proved that it was not possible for most people to earn such large amounts in such a short time.
Nevertheless, our research did isolate a couple of very high quality programs with which a steady full time income can be earned. These programs scored top points in different areas. They were great value for money. They offered the latest methods and techniques. They were regularly updated and support was exceptional. These elements made the few programs stand out and they did provide very good results when we tested them for a two week period.
Test Results
The 37 programs that we shortlisted after surveying the major online search engines and portals were tested from between 10 to 14 days. We read all the instructions and followed them as indicated. Whenever the need arose we tried to contact the support team for the program to receive help and further guidance. We also noted the ease of use, the quality, depth and breadth of the information and the general feasibility of the program for the average person's use. In addition, we also opted in to the "free newsletters" and "email lists" that most of these programs offered. To do this we created a separate email address for each program so we could see what information they were presenting or what other offers they may be trying to sell.
Upon completion of our study, all of the shortlisted programs failed to generate any revenue with the exception of two programs. This means a striking 94.6% failure rate on the most popular online work at home and make money programs.
The two programs that showed positive results are very promising and we have provided the detailed results in the graphs provided further below. Specific daily amounts are given.
Receiving Payment
Since almost 95% of the programs failed to generate any revenue we could not evaluate how quickly we received the money and in what form it was received. Of the two that generated money for us, we received a check approximately 12 days after our testing period, which was a decent turnaround time.
Major Problems Identified
Around 95% of these programs failed our strict testing procedure, and thus were rated as very poor quality. Some of the characteristic features that led to poor quality gradings on all such programs include but are not limited to:
Too little information provided: Whilst the concepts and methods were presented fairly well, there was no further information of practical or instructional value. This left us a little lost.
Poor quality of information: In some cases the program merely consisted of an E-book in PDF format ranging from 50 to 80 pages with an inflated font-size to make the book appear more than what it actually is. The information was poor, confusing and the content had many spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. These were very unprofessional products. And we were surprised that such highly advertised programs could be of such low quality.
Hidden fees and huge up sells: A number of these programs did not disclose that there were further fees for the use of certain resources they offered, and many others offered an "upsell" which is offering you a higher value item at the point of purchase.
No clear privacy or refund policy: Many of the poor quality programs did not offer a clear privacy policy nor a refund policy. We attempted to get refunds for some of the extremely poor programs but were unsuccessful in most cases.
Selling of mentoring programs: Our personal information was used (or passed on to other organizations) and we received a few emails and calls in some instances attempting to sell us expensive mentoring schemes.
Poor customer support: The poor quality programs had support that was not very responsive and in some cases, non-existent.
Conclusion
Our tests over a period of 12 weeks proved very disappointing for the most part. The majority of these programs were a waste of time and money, and proved next to useless in the end. With a 95% failure rate in our study it is important that people ensure they join only the highest quality programs since it is very possible to make a reasonable income online. Our tests revealed only two decent programs which showed promising results.
The two companies that provide positive results only required a small registration fee and had a clear refund and privacy policies documented on their sites. The registration fees appear to be reasonable and legitimate costs due to the investment into the members area, the quality of information and the infrastructure needed to maintain the provided resources, as well as the provision of support. In particular, we found that the first program reviewed below was of exceptional value. The one time registration fee was negligible compared to the level of income that we were able to produce in only a two week period - and we got paid shortly thereafter.
Taking the Opportunity
InfoWorld reports that just the US online economy alone collected $171.1 billion in 2008. This was up 24% from the previous year. That's the data from two years ago and the current annual value is expected to be much more than that. With such an gigantic online economic machine it is no wonder that literally tens of thousands of people are self-employed with their own online home businesses and earning a respectable income. The online economy is set to grow even further as more and more people come online with broadband, and this proves that this is a great opportunity and probably the best time for people to participate in and take their share of this online income.
Finally, we'll leave you with the few programmes on this site which we have used ans still using to successfully generate revenue.

Our tests over a period of 12 weeks proved very disappointing for the most part. The majority of these programs were a waste of time and money, and proved next to useless in the end. With a 95% failure rate in our study it is important that people ensure they join only the highest quality programs since it is very possible to make a reasonable income online. Our tests revealed only two decent programs which showed promising results.
The two companies that provide positive results only required a small registration fee and had a clear refund and privacy policies documented on their sites. The registration fees appear to be reasonable and legitimate costs due to the investment into the members area, the quality of information and the infrastructure needed to maintain the provided resources, as well as the provision of support. In particular, we found that the first program reviewed below was of exceptional value. The one time registration fee was negligible compared to the level of income that we were able to produce in only a two week period - and we got paid shortly thereafter.
Taking the Opportunity
InfoWorld reports that just the US online economy alone collected $171.1 billion in 2008. This was up 24% from the previous year. That's the data from two years ago and the current annual value is expected to be much more than that. With such an gigantic online economic machine it is no wonder that literally tens of thousands of people are self-employed with their own online home businesses and earning a respectable income. The online economy is set to grow even further as more and more people come online with broadband, and this proves that this is a great opportunity and probably the best time for people to participate in and take their share of this online income.
Finally, we'll leave you with the few programmes on this site which we have used ans still using to successfully generate revenue.

5 Reasons Why Most People Fail To Earn Money Online
If you’ve spent any amount of time online trying to make money on the Internet, there is a high chance that you haven’t made any money online. Or if you have, it’s probably a few dollars here and there.
Am I correct in saying that?
Why do I say that? Am I here to disgrace and discourage you?
Of course not!
You see, according to Business Week, “64.2% of the businesses failed in a 10-year period”.
What about Internet Marketing then? Well, even though I don’t know the exact figure, I can confidently tell you that the failure rate for beginners trying to make their mark at this Internet Marketing thingy is surely higher.
Not only is the failure rate higher, they fail much faster too!
And usually these beginners or newbie who haven’t made any real money online are skeptical about the whole concept of “earning money online”. But hey, it’s natural for them to feel this way. You can’t really blame them.
I, too, felt the same years back when I was just getting started on my Internet Marketing venture.
Anyway, let’s get back to topic of why most people starting out in Internet Marketing fail. Well, there are 5 few reasons why:
1. They want instant results
Most people want instant results. They read some Internet Marketing ebooks or video tutorials today and they expect to be making money tomorrow. They treat these ebooks or video tutorials or home study courses like some kind of magic pills.
Well, well… nothing could be further from the truth…
When they don’t see instant (or fast) results, they whine and say “I’ve tried everything, but all of them don’t work!”
Sounds familiar, eh?
2. They are VERY lazy and they don’t want to work hard
Typically, people are lazy. It’s fine if they’re just lazy and they don’t expect any results.
But when you are lazy AND you expect to be earning lots of money online, then something must be really wrong with you.
There are no easy money, both online and offline, to be made. If it were easy, everyone would be rich. This is clearly not the case!
There is no Free lunch, my friend. If you want to earn big money online, then you must work hard and work smart consistently. You must be willing to pay the price.
I paid my dues by sacrificing my TV time, my hangout time with friends, my sleep time, etc.
3. They give up too easily
When these people fail to get any or little result, they simply give up.
They complain (yet again) “I’ve done everything, why is this not working for me?”
To be successful in anything, not just making money online, failure is a process one must experience. There is no one who is really successful at what he or she does who hasn’t had any failures in the past.
Failure is a process one must overcome. Unfortunately, most people do not realize this and they simply give up when their efforts are not yet yielding any results.
Think for a second: when you were a little kid trying to learn to ride a bicycle, did you miraculously manage to ride it successfully without falling off the bicycle at all, or did it take you some cuts and bruises on your hands and knees before you eventually learn how to ride it?
4. They don’t know where to start
Most people don’t have a clue where to start. They suffer from “information overload”. I sometimes suffer from information overload as well
What is information overload?
Information overload simply means that the amount of information you receive on a subject is way too much, so much so that you eventually don’t know where to start and in the end you don’t do anything at all about the information you’ve absorbed.
This leads to action paralysis = NO ACTION = No RESULTS!
5. They try their hands at everything
Today they’ll read an ebook about making money through Adsense, and then they’ll start implementing a few of the strategies covered in the ebook.
A few days later, they stumble upon this site about Forex trading, and they start doing some forex transactions.
Then a few weeks later, someone offers them a video course about marketing on MySpace and they’ll try to implement the tactics in this course.
You get where I’m going right?
The point is: they’ll try their hands at something new, without going deep on the things they’ve already learned before. Eventually they end up nowhere with a little bit of knowledge here and there.
Now that we’ve taken a look at the 5 reasons why most people fail to make money online, it’s time for 3 tips on how you can reduce your failure rate:
A. You must work hard and smart
Understand that to achieve real results in Internet Marketing, you need to put in conscientious effort, time, and dedication. There are no such things as overnight success! Realize that Internet Marketing is hard, and that you must put in extra hard work in order to make real money online.
B. Do not give up easily
Do not give up easily. Strengthen your mentality. Realize that to achieve success, failures are inevitable. If you fail, you get up and try again. If you fail again, try again.
As the saying goes, “there are no failures, only feedback”. Each failure is one step closer to your goal.
C. Focus on 20% of the work that leads to 80% of the results
Do you know that not all techniques and methods of making money online carry the same weight? What I mean is that there are some techniques and methods of making money online that are more important than others.
Have you ever heard of the 80/20 rule: the Pareto Principle? This is how Wikipedia defines it:
“The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.”
This simply means that 20% of our work determines 80% of our outcome. Conversely, the reverse is also true, which is 80% of our work determines 20% of our outcome.
Your task is to identify the 20% work which will determine 80% of the outcome.
For example, if you’re just starting to learn about Internet Marketing, it would be silly to seek out big name joint venture (JV) partners and ask them to collaborate with you. You’re still a nobody, and they are already somebody. 99.99% of the time your proposal will be rejected.
Try putting yourself in their shoes: what would you do if you’re a well-known Internet Marketer and a guy who has just started to learn Internet Marketing seeks to collaborate with you?
I don’t have to answer that right?
If you’re a newbie, it would be a lot better if you learn the basics of Internet Marketing first rather than buying that e-book about how to secure JV partners.
The point I’m getting is: think for a moment and reflect on yourself where you are right now in the Internet Marketing business.
Identify the techniques and tactics that you do not need right now, such as securing JV partners as mentioned above. Once you’ve identified these techniques, be sure not to spend time learning them.
Your time would be better spent on learning the things that matter most to you right now.
To Your success.

Alternative To ClickBank
I’ve recently discovered an excellent alternative for an affiliate network, rather than using the ever-popular Clickbank.com. For those who don’t know about Clickbank, basically it is a place for merchants (or vendors) to connect with affiliates (people who want to promote their products). Everything is coordinated through Clickbank’s website. Clickbank’s products are digital goods, ones that can be downloaded online and viewed instantly after purchasing. People love instant gratification, so that is great (if they are actually redirected to the download page)!
I’ve been using Clickbank to manage my affiliate program for a few years now, and I’ve had a bunch of problems recently because my customers aren’t always being redirected to the download page after purchasing. This is a big issue for me, and for my customers. They immediately lose trust in my service, when they need to contact me to receive something they should have received immediately. So that has weighed on my mind a lot in the recent months as more and more occurrences of this take place. I also do not like that Clickbank.com only sends out payments by check, rather than offering a direct deposit or some other options. So, because of this I did my research and what I found was better than anything I could have imagined.
I found Plimus.
Plimus is an affiliate network with the best service to Vendors, affiliates and buyers - the best service I have ever seen and experienced before. I signed up to be a vendor and I Ialso was given an option to have the Plimus staff setup my sales page for me (for my ebook that I wanted to sell). I clicked YES that I wanted them to do it, but I never imagined it would turn out so beautifully.
They did an amazing job of integrating the sales page into the exact same design of the website I wanted to sell it on. They honestly saved me 5 hours of work. So far I’ve had a few sales and several of the buyers had the wrong personal details with their credit card they were paying with. For example, a person may have had the wrong phone number listed with their card. Immediately the person was contacted by Plimus to clarify (to prevent fraud and also to alleviate the problem quickly so the potential customer could purchase right then, so I would not lose that customer). The service is unbelievable. They saved me several sales I would have lost because cards may have been declined with the wrong details for their account. They fixed them on the spot and the payment went through. That was great. I am not paying Plimus for all that extra customer support they are offering. It’s amazing, considering if you try to get ahold of a real person with Clickbank, good luck - because it’s nearly impossible. I’m not saying Clickbank is horrible, but Plimus is like a breath of fresh air. They features are amazing and options are endless.
I’ve setup an affiliate program with Plimus and you can join here. I still offer 50% commissions on all e-book sales, so if you would prefer to promote through here rather than Clickbank, please join! I’m still going to keep the clickbank affiliate program open, but my recommendation is to signup with Plimus.
Other wonderful Plimus Features Include:
Managed Affiliate Program
Fully Marketed Store
Coupon/Promotion Support (so you can offer discounts, coupon codes)
Your own Newsletter (all managed through your admin area)
24/7 All Year Long Unparalleled Customer Support
Dynamic Licensing Features
Over a dozen languages/currencies supported
Live Assistance
Subscription Payments Accepted
Business Analytics and Statistics Tracking, Advanced
Accept payments from credit cards, checks, EFT, wire transfer, purchase orders in 18 distinct currencies, with local taxes and fees calculated automatically. Receive payments via check, direct deposit, wire transfer, PayPal or Plimus prepaid card on the 15th of each month.
Try it out and you will be convinced.

MY MISSION...
My name is GREG, An Internet Marketer, and Program reviewer. I have being online for quite some time now and has really enjoyed every moment of it. So I decided to dedicate a greater part of my time educating and showing YOU honest and legitimate ways of succeeding online.
It wasnt easy in the beginning though, because so much money was lost by buying useless programs that were hard to understand and produced no results. This is the reason why I get so tired of seing people getting scammed again and again.
I created this site to ,enlighten ,recommend tested and proven programs. Every program you see on this site has being tested and proven.
These days, you should be more skeptical than ever!
Within this website , I am going to reveal shocking marketing secrets that are guaranteed to change your life for the better! We have researched literally thousands of the different offers you've probably seen in magazines and on the net.
Why do I provide all this info to you at no charge? Simple, I'm absolutely disgusted by the amount of con artists and scammers floating around in the back of magazines and on the net. I've always said there needs to be someone to police these get-rich-quick offers and schemes. So I finally decided to take action and do my part to expose all the scammers and con artists for what they are. I've made it my job to get scammed before you do. You see, If I can be the guinea pig and join these business opportunities before you, then I can let you know if I got scammed before you spend any of your money.
The point is this: You could spend a small fortune testing all these different business opportunities out for yourself. Like me, you'd probably find out that 98.4% of them don't work!
Yes, I've made a living out of testing these various companies and home business opportunities so I can educate and inform the public which ones actually "DO" work. I want everyone to know which opportunities actually will make you an income you can live on. Most importantly, I want to let you know which ones didn't pass the test!
I've already put in thousands of hours and spent o $54,732.00 testing and trying every business opportunity and work at home system you've ever seen! And since hundreds of new opportunities come out every month, I continue testing and reviewing the newest business opportunities to hit the market.
You don't need to waste anymore of your time or money because the answers are all right here in this website. And there is no charge to read any of the reviews you'll find at this website!
I built this website to educate and inform the public about which business opportunities to avoid and which ones actually produced a rock solid income while I tested them.
Right now I'm making a tremendous income by using the methods from the top performing, 5% of the business opportunites I've found that work! Even though I'm about to let you know the names of the top 5%, I'm also about to let you know about the worst(95%) as well. If you want to find out the only one we're involved in, after researching over 800 Internet businesses, Meanwhile, feel free to see some of the profitable and honest programes around this site.
