In 2011 I made the decision to look for a new way of making an income that would allow me to live life on my terms; a way of life that would give me the freedom and time to enjoy life at a whole different level. Even though I was relatively a young person, with a great job and a “bright future”, in a Mine Engineering career, something just wasn’t right.
Something was missing; I was empty inside. I lacked inspiration and the zest for life I once felt especially in my days in university.
At the time, I was working around 70 hours a week including weekends, as I thought that’s just what had to be done to achieve success. I was a mine production engineer for a large mining company. I was good at my job. Particularly after doing it for 8 years and moving overseas working as an expert.
In my early days of work, a typical day for me then would be getting up at 4 am, hurriedly stuff down my breakfast, commute to work, then hold a morning meeting with a team of people who didn’t really want to be there any more than I did.
Honestly, success for me at that time was largely money orientated. I put up with the long hours (12+ hour days), the politics and the stress in the hope for a bigger paycheck at the end of the month. Well I believed I was earning a great income especially when I worked on public holidays including Christmas! But in spite of this, I came to realize that this job wasn't going to offer me the kind of lifestyle I aspired to live, or provide the kind of life I wanted, to be able to provide for my family. In a nutshell, there was no way that this job was going to provide me the quality and balanced life I dreamed of – let alone any real free time to do the things I wanted to do. It was slowly dawning on me that I was simply on the wrong vehicle.
On top of that, I was waking up each day less and less motivated to go for work. In fact just saying that now, brings back memories of how most Sunday evenings I would feel a knot in my stomach, just knowing that I was about to start another week of the same old thing, repeating the same old daily grind!
All I did was work, work, and work. If you have any idea of work in a mining environment, everything is so fast-paced. I was working so hard, but all I was doing was building someone else’s dream, not my own. And every hour on the job, every ounce of effort applied, seemed like a waste. I couldn’t help but think, “what if I was building my own dream instead of making my bosses richer?” I know this is going to sound like a cliché, but I finally decided I had enough. I was fed up with the rat race! I wanted more….
Driven by a deep desire for a change, I left my first job to join the second largest mining company in the world. Compared to the previous one, this job paid me 10x as much. I was elated! I thought, this was it!
After 2 years on the job, I came home from work one evening on a Friday; the same feeling of emptiness and inadequacy was creeping back. I was yearning for more in life. The day was not particularly a great one. It had been really depressing, dealing with annoying site managers, as my role was to provide specialized mine planning support for one of the mine sites – the key focus being on mining activities within the life of asset time horizon. And I was exhausted…
It’s appropriate to issue certain caveats here; I was not being ungrateful, I was just dissatisfied. This was a great job with many perks. I worked in middle management, got paid a six-figure income and living in a large city. I had every reason to be thankful.
Dissatisfaction inherently is not a bad thing; in fact it’s a ‘creative state’. Only dissatisfied people become innovative. Even though, if not properly handled, dissatisfaction can result in irreparable disaster.
What I was concerned about was this; I was on the wrong vehicle that was heading down the wrong road. You know, direction is more important than speed. That is to say, don’t just enjoy the ride for now, over and above the comfort, look at where you will eventually end up.
If you have any financial goals, which I believe you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this. Ask yourself these two important questions:
1. Is this vehicle (your job, business, Masters Degree or whatever you are currently doing) travelling fast enough to take you where you want to go, in the time you want to get there?
2. Is it headed in the direction you want to go?
Now these questions look deceptively obvious, but trust me their simplicity doesn’t make them insignificant at all. Pay attention….
If the answer to any of the above questions is NO, start planning to disembark before it becomes too late and too costly to do so. The time to make big changes in life is often a time for difficult decisions. Also remember that the best decisions are not always the most popular neither are they the most convenient. Decisions are your onerous prerogative and no one else’s. It’s either you live with what you have or you go for what you want. Indecision is a decision not to decide. If you don’t decide anything, “You will end up where you are headed”, it is as simple as that.
…back to my story…
I decided to go online. I googled “business opportunities online” to see what ideas I could come up with, that would enable me to get some control and zest back into my life.
I had no idea what exactly I was looking for, but what I did know, was that I wanted to find a business opportunity that would give me:
The first thing that I noticed when looking at the various opportunities was that I could actually easily get into many of them with money from my monthly paycheck.
I was excited when I found something that had to do with flipping properties. It looked pretty good and wasn't going to cost an awful lot of money to get in. It cost about $7k to get both the training and a JV partnership with the owner. The testimonials of those already in the business were pretty thrilling. Some made in the north of $100k on a single deal! I thought if I paid $7k to get in and then make $100k on a single deal, that was a no brainer! Long story short, I was in the business for 12 months and made exactly $0.00! I ‘lost’ all the money!
I was stunned. I wondered whether the old adage, “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” is actually true. This saying actually isn't always correct. In fact, the suspicion, cynicism, and doubt that are inherent in this belief can and does keep people from taking advantage of excellent opportunities.
One thing that was very clear to me at the time though, was that, watching my hard-earned $7k go down the tubes, didn’t even begin to quench my burning desire and drive to find my freedom. The experience made me stronger. I was more resolved than ever to create and design a life that would allow me to live life on my own terms, instead of having to answer to someone for the rest of my life! Here is a free wisdom nugget for you ‘’Don’t invest in any business, what you are unwilling to lose. Every business has a risk element.” On the flip side, the fear of failure is what makes common men with common results.
As they say, “hindsight is 20/20”, in retrospect, even though I didn’t make any money with it, the property flipping business was actually a genuine business with a host of success stories. There were just some important things I needed to know about myself, that I didn’t at the time… but that ‘s another day’s story.
Weeks and months went by and I kept looking… Do you know that when you set your sail to look for something, you will actually find it? ….seek and ye shall find? Well I had my break…. I found another online opportunity. Yippee!
It was a digital publishing business. I attended a few free webinars and I was completely sold! I was so excited. I felt like I was already a multi-millionaire. I told my wife, who is now my business partner and co-founder of our primary business, “….honey we are going to Vegas!”
True to my word, we went to Las Vegas for a 3-day live event, which later turned to a week! It was a life-changing occasion for my wife and I. It was in this meeting that I met Bob Proctor face-to-face who happened to be the keynote speaker at the event.
Figure 1 –Live Event With Bob Proctor –Las Vegas
Prior to this, I had only read Bob’s books and watched some of his tapes…. videos… (tapes sounds a little bit old-school)…. anyway…
Bob Proctor is a master thinker and an expert when it comes to systemizing life. Bob collects thoughts like Imelda Marcos used to collect shoes. He strings them together in exquisite arrays; one thought leading logically to the next until a whole method has been constructed. He is the author of the Best Selling Masterpiece “You Were Born Rich”
Bob is a direct link to the modern science of success stretching back to Andrew Carnegie the great financier and philanthropist. Carnegie’s secrets inspired and enthused Napoleon Hill, whose book Think and Grow Rich in turn inspired a whole genre of success-philosophy books that now take up large sections of modern bookstores. Napoleon Hill, in turn passed the baton onto Earl Nightingale, who has since placed it in Bob Proctor’s capable hands. Some of Bob’s programs include: Six Minutes To Success, Magic In Your Mind, and Streaming Club
Back to My Story…
For almost a year that I was in the digital publishing business, I only made $11.00 from a Clickbank product I sold on Facebook. In the same period, being a newbie I had my Facebook account shut down, because I had apparently violated some FB ad policies. I made some desperate attempts to recover my account. I wanted to prove to Facebook that I was not a scam or any of that sort, but an honest guy simply looking for a decent life.
I submitted my ID and some other things, nonetheless that didn’t change matters. So I lost my business account after eleven bucks worth of sales! Classic!
What am I going to do? Since I still had my job, I didn’t give up hope. I was determined to use it to get what I wanted. I was undeterred in the pursuit of my goal---freedom!
The following day while I was at work I couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like to work from home with a business that offered big money. I was daydreaming and imagining how much less stressful and flexible it would be!
Later that day, instead of going home the usual time, I stayed late at work, to continue my online business research. I had a hunch that something was there…I just had to find it. Remember.. “he that seeketh findeth.”
I was beginning to realize that, this was not a mere wish anymore, it was an obsession, and I loved it.
…fast forward…
To cut a very long story short, my search continued until I came across another opportunity on YouTube. This appeared very different. The guy in the video spoke with passion and would hardly quote any specific dollar amounts, unlike a heap of other biz opps I had come across. He was emphasizing on the “training that would help you make six figures online”. It appeared very legit. And right there it hit me! I was going about it the wrong way. I was going hook line and sinker for business opportunities without the necessary re-training of my mind.
I thought I needed to understand the online environment and also the kind of person I needed to become, to be a successful entrepreneur. I figured that, if it took nearly 17 years of academic education to prepare me to be an employee, I would be deluded to think that, with this mindset I would become an overnight success in business. That was a light bulb moment for me. Something in me had to shift…yes that’s right…I needed “a paradigm shift” a complete overhaul of the employee mentality.
I realized that I could not make a million dollars with an average wage mentality. I did not just need the right vehicle (business), but also the right knowledge (training) and the right me (mindset)! Eureka! What an epiphany!
Even though, I did not make a million dollars with this newfound opportunity it surely delivered to me million-dollar lessons. I learnt so much about myself and about mastering the inner game of money. For instance I realized for the first time that, I was a very significant variable in my own success equation. It was not enough to just find a good business concept, I had to be the right me! That is, I had to take up habits and a way of thinking that supports success. Trust me, no one taught me this in elementary school, or even university. What do you think is the reason why two people in the exact same business, in the same area, fair so differently? Why does one fail lamentably, while the other achieves breathtaking success? Do you think it’s the business model that is flawed? Well not exactly…there is what is called “Success Blueprint”, I will share more on this idea in my next e-book on Success Principles.
The rest really is history…
I later quit my job, reasoning that; its either things continued the way they were, or I did something to change my circumstances. Things won’t change until you change! For emphasis, I will say that again…. “Things won’t change until you DO! The greatest change is the change within you and not the one outside. Remember this principle always.
Now listen guys, I am not recommending for you to quit your job under such circumstances, the best is to use your job to get ahead. There are some things you can do more easily when you have a job and an income, than when you don’t. Your own circumstances maybe different….make the best judgment.
Weeks later a stranger (who I later came to fondly know as Alexus) private messaged me on Facebook about this business which will not take me away from my primary business, but will instead require just a fraction of my time.
In a ‘not too salesy’ tone, Alexus further went on to say, “It may not be for you Mwansa, but am happy to send you a link for you to have a look. If you can click a mouse, you can do this. It will only require a fraction of your time every single day”.
I said, well, what do I have to lose, to look at something that will not require me to completely dissipate my energy? So I said yes….
The link Alexus gave me led to a landing page with a short video about a Revenue Sharing and Advertising company called Traffic Monsoon….that I could sign up for FREE, and that, there were no monthly subscription fees, and that, I didn’t have to sell anything to anyone and….
I said wow!.....
Well again, cutting the long story even shorter….., It was the best thing that happened that day. I knew I was in! I called her back and we went over all the sign up processes and I have been with the business to this day.
The lesson learnt…. “Don’t be overly skeptical about everything. Yes it is really easy nowadays to lose money online. There are just too many opportunities, too many shiny objects, too many promises.. It’s a jungle out there and so easy to get lost especially if you are new to this industry. However give yourself a chance, you don’t know everything. Have an open mind. Open-mindedness is a habit that supports success. I could have written off Alexus as a scam because of my previous experiences. But tripping and falling is necessary, as it is sometimes the only way to learn to walk.”
Having told my short story, it’s now my joy and greatest honor to share with you this great opportunity in detail, in a way that I didn’t get it myself. There is no doubt that a lot of people are skeptical that a so-called business model can earn you money while you sleep or travel the world without having to sell or sponsor anyone.
This is simply a foreign concept to most people. But I know you having read to this point, are definitely looking for ‘something’….like I was looking for ‘something’, as I just shared. This may just be that ‘something’ for you….please give yourself a chance , stay with me…..
I promise you, this system is frighteningly simple, once you understand it in principle.
It’s simply a method of making money that takes most of the variables and heavy lifting out of the equation. The end result: the model that enables you to earn money even while you’re asleep, while you’re on holiday, or while you’re doing something else you’d rather be doing.
How? ….
By introducing a whole new element of leverage. Namely, time and effort leveraged to a whole new degree. Leverage allows you to take whatever results you’re already getting and multiplying them by ten, twenty, fifty or maybe even a hundred times. Leverage simply put; is about working smarter, not harder. Leverage is achieving more with less. That is what Traffic Monsoon helps you do. No special skills are required to do this. You don’t have to be an HTML guru or a programming expert to win with this. This business is both newbie and expert friendly. Your only qualification is a computer and an Internet connection. How hard is that? Of course you can decide to hit the hard road by sticking it out on your own, but why struggle if you can leverage a professional, automated system?
By the end of this report you’ll understand why this business has produced a myriad of success stories like Sharon James’. See her story here

Traffic Monsoon has 4 income streams, namely:
The 4 income streams are discussed in detail below.
When you buy an ad pack (advertising package) with sharing, what are you exactly buying? Buying an adpack with sharing is not making an investment or buying shares, You are only buying advertising services. It's from the sales of all Traffic Monsoon services that revenues are shared.
When members purchase a service from Traffic Monsoon, the company holds the revenues from that purchase. Then, you can qualify to receive a share of the profits! Naturally there is cost associated with providing services. Each service provided generates a profit margin. Those profits are shared with you!
Adpack combos come in $50 increments. With one adpack purchase you'll receive 20 clicks to your banner, 1,000 traffic exchange credits, and a revenue sharing position.
When you click a minimum of 10 ads in the traffic exchange and remain on the website for 20 seconds each, you'll qualify for the next 24 hours to share in site profits.
As long as you are qualified, each sharing position you receive with your Adpack Combo purchase, will continue to share in revenues up to $55.00. Reaching this maximum is not guaranteed, or affixed to any time frame. It's completely reliant upon sales of services, and you being qualified. It currently works around 2% per day. There is no requirement to refer to share in site profits.
Earn Traffic Exchange Credits
Any purchase turns your account into a lifetime paid member. Each ad view in the traffic exchange will reward you 1 visitor credit in the traffic exchange.
FREE members can surf ads, and receive 1 visitor credit for every 2 sites viewed in the traffic exchange.
Figure 3 –Cash Links In the Traffic Monsoon Traffic Exchange
These are paid-to-click links, which appear on your dashboard, and reward you with extra cash!
Cash links are a great way to show other members what else you're involved with, and invite them to join you.
Basically $1.00 => 50 visitors = $0.02 per click. $0.01 goes to clicker, and $0.01 goes to sponsor when visitor remains on your site for 30 seconds
$1.00 => 1000 visitors = $0.001 per click. $0.0005 goes to clicker, and $0.0005 goes to sponsor when visitor remains on your site 5 seconds
To qualify for referral click earnings from these links, you must have clicked a minimum of 10 ads in the traffic exchange within the last 24 hours. Figure 3 shows $0.001 cash links.
Referring people to Trafficmonsoon is not a requirement. However it is a great way to earn a passive income through direct referral commissions at 10% on every adpack that is sold, including repurchases, for life! Besides there is no limit on the number of referrals you can sponsor, that means you can recruit as many people as you can. You can withdraw your earnings to your Payza or Solid Trust Pay Account so it can easily be transferred to your bank, credit card or Bitcoin wallet. Plans are underway to include a withdrawal feature, to transfer earnings to your Allied Wallet MasterCard.
Traffic Monsoon has to date delivered up to 1.5 Billion visits to the different websites. This makes it an amazing place for you to promote other products. In turning traffic into cash, you can promote your own product or affiliate products. I recommend that you visit clickbank.com, create an account. Clickbank is a great digital market place with great products in every niche. Get more information on being a Clickbank affiliate here.
Profits are shared from all of the following services.
Pay-Per-Click Campaigns are $0.25 per click and allow you to target your ads to specific countries for $0.50 per click. Every click on your banners ads is worth a lot - those users who click on your ads may become your referrals or even clients. Users click simply because they are interested in the topic of your ads!
Traffic Exchange Start Pages is an offer for your site to be the first to be viewed by all members. This is priced at $35 per day. You'll receive a lot more attention to your ad this way and stand out first in people's minds.
Getting started with Traffic Monsoon is easy. Your basic requirements are itemised below:
1. An Internet connection
2. A PC or laptop, tablet or smart phone
3. Basic English knowledge
4. A minimum of 15 minutes surfing a minimum of 10 Ads daily.
That’s It! With a computer and Internet connection, you are set to go to the next step.
The next important step is choosing your payment processor. Payment processors are basically virtual bank accounts, which are used both to fund the Traffic Monsoon account, and also to make withdrawals. There are more than 100 payment processors available on the Internet today. Trafficmonsoon currently only accepts three payment processors: Payza, SolidTrustPay and Allied Wallet (the latest addition which appears as Credit Card Gateway in The Traffic Monsoon back office). You can make instant withdrawals to your Payza or SolidTrustPay accounts. I recommend that you sign up PERSONAL accounts for both Payza and SolidTrustPay. The reason is, each processor has its’ unique features and capabilities that you may find handy at different times. Besides, as technology is not perfect all the time, if one processor is down, you will always have an alternative.
Note that you don’t have to sign up for an Allied Wallet account separately. Your Allied Wallet account is activated the moment your Traffic Monsson account is verified. Purchases from earnings within Trafficmonsoon do not carry a fee. On the contrary payments and withdrawals using the processors charge a processor fee ranging between 2.9%- 4.5%.
I personally find all the available processors to be very handy, as I use them for my other online businesses as well.
After creating your free payment processor accounts, ensure that you get them verified. The verification levels and requirements for Solid Trust and Payza payment processors as detailed below:
Card Verified: Add the credit/debit card you intend to use for your business to your STP/Payza back office. Upload the front and back of your card. Your card should bear your name as it appears on your STPay or Payza account profile. Any mismatch in the information will cause undesirable delays. ENSURE that the information you provide is accurate.
For security reasons hide your card number except the last FOUR digits as shown in Figure 4.
