Cool A Fairy-Tale Referral -- Success Short Story for CQDTonline.com

You are just out of school, going on to college. You move into a dorm room with a smelly, weird roommate. You come across the CQDTonline.com affiliate program, and decide to take a look. You start off in Level One, and get 150 people to join that first month. You begin making $750 a month, and can now make payments on a $50,000 vehicle. A month later, your referrals just went up to 350 members. Your monthly income is now around $3000 (making allowances for members that do not renew their memberships). This is enough to pay for rent on a decent apartment, cover the utilities, and continue making payments on the new BMW that you are driving.

Your friends notice all the loot, see the shnazzy apartment and assume that you're up to no good. You just started college, and you're already driving a nicer car than their parents. They question you, cautiously, to see if you'll tell them how they can make some dough. "Sure" you say, and you tell them you can cut them in on the deal. A week later, you have three new trainees. Excited, seeing all of the swag you keep buying, they rush off to tell everyone they know about this great program online. You pay them $5 per referral, telling them that's how much you made when you got started, so many months (two or three, to be exact) ago.

Three weeks pass. You have just hit 850 members. Your check comes in - $10,200. Your friends have recruited 100 members each. That takes away $1500 of your hard-earned profits, leaving you with a measly $8700. Tough, having to share, isn't it? Oh well, it's Spring Break, and you and your friends fly a private plane to Cancun, where you blow all of your savings on some girls from Texas Tech. After you get back, you work twice as hard the next couple of weeks (8 hours per week, on average), striving for that final Founders Level. Two exhausting weeks later, you finally did it! 1,020 members, and a pay stub. No check - you angrily tear apart the envelope, looking for your hard-earned dough, knowing that it was all a scam.

You slam your fist to the table, and overturn the rest of your mail. Your car insurance, homeowner's insurance, and jet-ski payment envelopes fall to the floor, along with the pay stub. Something on the back of the letter catches your eye- there is a plastic card taped to the back of the paystub. You read a little close, and see that from now on, all of your payments will go onto this visa card, emblazoned with the words "CQDT Founder's Club" on the front. You flip the pay stub back over, and gawk at the balance written inside of the little black box: $15,300. You do a little bit of quick math in your head: Friend #1 had 160 referrals that month. Friend #2 had 210. Friend #3 had 120. Total, that's 490. That leaves you with... $12,850.. With more to come next month!!

Does this sound like something you'd be interested in? Is this the college experience that you dream of? PM me for more information!!
