Quote:Alright, since I did my drinking, and my girlfriend is going on vacation this next week, I’m free to work my proxies and scare my dedicated server owner.

First things first, as promised, here is an application for the Proxy Control Group.

Specifications on Group:
1. There will be a maximum of 9 members within the group.
2. All members are not to reveal anything learned within the group. If under suspect, termination from the group without prior warning will occur. Full details will be within the contract when you’ve been accepted into the group.

Answer the following questions, and mail them to vadymzyabkin [at] gmail.com.

Application Questions:
1. How long have you been working with proxies?
2. What is your current daily revenue from proxies? [Include total revenue, meaning consultation, other services]
3. What methods are you currently using to earn from proxies? [If using publisher affiliates, name them.]
4. What is your specialty in-terms of proxymastering? [For example, one of the set invited members has developed an administrational panel for easy proxy detailing/customization/etc.]
5. What is your timezone?

I’ll mail you with a confirmation or denial within 1-3 days. Good luck to all applicants.

Applications opened yesterday, as yesterday is when ZedProxy was up once again. Of the 9 members, 4 spots have been officially taken. I am opening the application opportunity up to WebProxyTalk since David's forum is the only one I really bother checking sometimes in terms of Proxy Forums.

Interesting. May I ask what is the purpose of this control group?

Whoops, sorry.

Quote:I’m thinking that beginning January, I might be starting up a little club called “The Proxy Control”.

I’ve posted a discussion thread about the idea on DP.

The point of it would be for several more experienced proxymasters to be able to discuss and share their experiences and current standings. We would be conducting meetings around once a week, over MSN, to discuss the aspects of the current proxy world. Marketing, Monetization, Trafficking, etc. It would be enough to give new ideas of expansion to the members, but not enough to disturb the business of the member contributing the idea.

The little club would be by invitation only, and only experienced proxymasters would be considered.

Suggestions/ideas/comments?

Anions, you'd be sending the application to my gmail account, but looking at that, you'd not exactly make the cut. There have been exactly 23 'average' applications, and 3 that have actually passed into the group

feck you then

Anions I dont think that is a nice way to respond. I am sparing you a warn for now.

anions I wouldn't worry too much, I make $40-70 a day (weekdays) with my proxies & I would never make the cut. Not that I really care as I have been way too busy lately to even have time for such things.

Vadym, aren't you over-doing this a bit? (declining most ppl's applications) I mean, anyone who've been able to hit the $5/day mark should be proud of there work (even those who earn as little as $2). There isn't a big underground secret to running/earning from proxies...
1. You buy a domain
2. Install the script
3. Do some kind of promotion work
Most webmaster should know there's only 3 types of traffic sources:
Organic(From Search Engines)/Referral(People coming from other websites)/Direct(Those who've remembered your website address and return to it)
And most webmaster should also know that they need to target Search Engine results in order to get some Major traffic (since: Traffic = $$$ )...

ALRITE GUYS LISTEN UP!!! HERE'S THE MOST SECRET Tip in the BOOK of SECRETS: GET RANKED #1 for the keyword: UNBLOCK MYSPACE (on google ofcourse) and you'll be the top earner of the Proxy Nation!!!

At the end of the day, there isn't any Million Dollar secret that will pour the Dollar Bills to your door step (even if there was, i'm sure you own mama's wouldn't tell you either!).

At this stage you might be thinking "Oh No! There's no hope!" well I tell you what, that's what the top earners want you to think... The Search Engine Real (SEO'ers) is nothing but Pure Competition, Big G sets the Rules of the PlayGround and everyone else tries to become the biggest bully! (I was gonna go further with the metaphor but I'll cut to the chase).

I believe all members here have atleast 1 domain name that has a proxy installed on it. You might also think "What can I do?" (No worries I'll spoon feed ya that answer as well)... DO SOMETHING! One great man once said "FAILURE of FAILURE is SUCCESS!" (I think that might've been me ). I Challenge All those who are up for the task of earning money (who said earning money was easy?)! Go and submit your new proxy to (1000xDirectories + 1000xSocial Bookmarking Sites + 1000xToplists) x Repeat this process 100 times... Come and swear at my face if you don't become a successful ProxyMaster!
note: using auto submission programs don't count !
