Just got this from Nikki....no warning, no nothing
Now for the changes to NIKKI'S.
I have made some changes to NIKKI'S
1. The cashout at Nikki's is now $60.00 for free members
2. The cashout for Supergold members is $40.00
3. Platinum NO Minimum Payout up to Once A Month (Same)
The members that have already requested cashout through the redemption will be honored but none after that. Changes are final. I know some of you will probably not be happy with this change but it could not be prevented. With over 2000 members you would think that we would have more paid advertising but in reality things dont run on free. It takes teamwork to make money we all have to do our share if we want to succeed. I dont want to be another site that goes down. I want to be here for a long time and be able to do payouts not get all caught up in dept and not be able to pay anyone. Better to make the change now.
Payout used to be $25, wow over 100% rise in payout, what a con artist.
I joined her site because of the nice size payout, now I think I will redeem for ads, if I can, and kiss this one bye bye
Full Version: Nikkis Hard Earned Cash
To each his own. I'm staying. I got a random payout a couple of weeks ago and the results from my ad were good. 
That totally stinks! I was one of the first members to join and built a very large downline (well to me anyway) and I upgraded!!!! I'll stick around, seeing how I'm close to $25.00, get my second payout (if she doesn't close down) and quit that one.... or she could just delete me...LOL 
Oh and Nikki, you can't blame people for not advertising. Quit letting people redeem $3.99 for a 2 cent mail. You should have had more common sense then that.
Plan your programs, and make changes for the better, not the worst. That's a great way to run everyone off INCLUDING advertisers!!!!!!!!

Go figure! By letting people get away with this, all your doing is saying.... give me a random payout and I'll be happy with whatever you do!
Gheeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I'm outta here! My redheadedness (sp?..LOL) is coming out!
I image she is hoping alot of the members will feel the same way, if enough of the members redeem and dump the site can hang on a little longer. I have yet to see a site saved by raising the payout.
Call it what you want. I just think some people leave programs without giving the owner a chance to correct things. Nothing wrong with thinking before you make a move.
I'm not a member of this site, but a similar thing happened on MANY other sites lately (and maybe before but I haven't been doing international GPTREs for that long yet).

What about the time she lowered referral percentages? I gave her a chance then! With all the drama that goes on with programs now days, Program Owners should take that and learn something. I'm not dogging you for sticking around, I honestly hope you receive many many more Random Payouts and Regular Payouts. Just from watching PO's lately, raising payout doesn't do a bit of good. Once your in debt your going to always be in debt. By raising payout your just postponing paying it for a little while.
Well that's my opinion! Sorry for being harsh, I'm just mad.
She's a good wm, I like the program, I've been paid 3 times on time so I'll stick it out.She's young only 18. and this is her first progam too. so..*shrugs*
Edited: I was just thinking, age doesn't matter,I'm only 16, but before I would start a program I'd do my reasearch first, I'd plan everything out way before hand before I'd even think about opening. But even then some things don't work out right.

To me, when owners start changing things on their sites, to their benefit and not members, then the owners really don't seem to know what they were doing in the first place.
Just my opinion.
Looks like young Nikki loved the idea of owning a site, didn't really have a clue, and now it making members pay for it.
I have just redeemed ALL of my earnings for paid emails, lets hope she honors them, then I am gone.
WAY too many sites are doing this lately. Have really sweet deals to get people hooked, then change the deal to suit themselves and not members.
Upping prices on ads or upgraded memberships I can understand.
Just my opinion.

I've liked this program a lot. I thought I would actually make it to payout, but...well, I'm staying to redeem for ads...I'd never reach $60 with my 3-people downline anyway. 
She is only 18??? 
hmmm......not even going to say it!

Yep, it was her birthday, that's why her mom took over for a few days.

I can't help but laugh at that one. I'm going to open a program, take everyone's money and when people get mad, well I'm going to tell them, I'm only 12, I didn't know any better.
That's not an excuse.
If people would put there foot down and stop letting PO's take them to the cleaners, then this wouldn't happen EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
Yeah , I know, like I said age doesnt matter. and so I edited 
If this what it take to keep Nikkis alive ...well then is ok

When a PO raises payout it is for the WM benefit only, not for the members benefit.
It shows me that the WM doesn't have the funds to pay at the lower rate, so they raise it, to put off paying, which won't happen.
If they don't have the funds to pay members, it means they are in debt, so raising payout won't get them out of debt, it will only give them more time to con members out of money for ads. So when the site does fold, the PO's have the money and members are out of pocket.
My opinion only.

Hello again, Paul here.
She actually changed the referral earnings percentages?
And managed (sorry wrong word) And kept members?
The payout change was not a good move, but if the referral earnings where changed, that is criminal!
On the side - I have built and run my own businesses since I was 18 with success. To Nikki and Mom, I think it is a good thing that you are having a go, but for the sake of the people that count on you - go to night school and do a basic business building class or something to help you understand what you are doing. You only have one shot on the net and it is 99.99% perception. You mess that up and you will not be able to pull it off again. A good start would be to underpromise and overdeliver.
Sorry guys and gals, I have comment on this in another thread, so I will not do it again.
Have an improved day
Paul
I'd like to state that the quote attributed to me was not mine, but from a response someone else made after quoting something I had posted. 
I have no downline there and pay no attention to referral percentages.

Ladies and gentlemen, I do believe we have found a psychic...
I wonder when the payout will be raised to this amount?
And her program is not a business, it's a scam. Do the math. It is not university professor stuff, it is basic elementary school math. I refuse to believe that Nikki is this stupid not to realise that her prices are unsustainable. Anyone over 12 could have figured that out.

Yep! I knew about this one right from the start...But no people kept joining and promoting
