How Long Does It Take to Cycle?

How long does it take to cycle? That seems to be the #1 question on everyone's mind. You have to buy at least $10 in the cycler to be able to buy profit units (where the quick cash is). So if you buy that $10, how long will it take to cycle?

I hope I don't get in trouble for this, but I'm not an upgraded member yet, so the worst thing they can do to me is close my account. If they do, that's it. I may or may not try again with another email. But I am all for transparency, and I believe people need to know what they are getting into. And what I'm sharing here is nothing that a free member can't find if they know where to look.

So here are the top several people in the $10 cycler line:

No.	User	Line / Type	Spot Cost	Spot Earned	Buy ON	Last Cycle	Num Cycled
1	normie	$10 Line / NP	$10.00	$17.80	2012-02-05	2012-11-10 08:31:01	31
2	borismos	$10 Line / NP	$10.00	$2.80	2012-02-05	2012-11-10 08:31:01	28
3	dessie	$10 Line / RP	$10.00	$12.80	2012-02-05	2012-11-13 11:40:19	30
4	Passies	$10 Line / NP	$10.00	$2.80	2012-02-05	2012-11-10 08:30:31	28
5	Passies	$10 Line / NP	$10.00	$2.80	2012-02-05	2012-11-10 08:30:31	28
6	muhamu1978	$10 Line / NP	$10.00	$2.80	2012-02-05	2012-11-10 08:30:31	28
7	valemis1986	$10 Line / NP	$10.00	$2.80	2012-02-05	2012-11-10 08:30:31	28
8	natalya201158	$10 Line / NP	$10.00	$21.90	2012-02-05	2012-11-16 15:07:06	45

Normie is in the first position, so she (can I assume that's a she?) gets a portion of every new purchase in the line until she cycles out. Then borismos will be at the top. Notice the bought-on date. It's been more than 9 months since they joined. They will probably cycle out soon, though. So at this point, 10 months seems to be a realistic time frame at this point. I'm not sure if it will go faster or slower the more people join. Probably faster for those at the top, but it could take longer for those who join later. I'm just guessing on that. I guess I'll have a better idea in 10 months.

[UPDATE: From the time I copied that chart, natalya201158 cycled out and valemis1986 has a balance of $11.70. So once you get to the top, you cycle pretty fast, apparently. And natalaya201158 is already second from the bottom on the $20 line list.]

However, I have a suspicion that this is actually reversed, and that natalya201158 is actually in the first position. Notice the latest cycle date--today, as opposed to #7, who cycled last 6 days ago. And I have confirmation of this. Notice the $5,000 cycle line:

No.	User	Line / Type	Spot Cost	Spot Earned	Buy ON	Last Cycle	Num Cycled
1	pipteam	$5000 Line / RP	$5000.00	$200.00	2012-10-15	2012-10-15 05:28:02	4
2	mizrakucu	$5000 Line / NP	$5000.00	$400.00	2012-04-19	2012-10-15 05:28:02	8
3	liudmi	$5000 Line / NP	$5000.00	$9600.00	2012-03-09	2012-10-15 05:28:02	20

There are only 3 people in that line. It's going to take a while for them to cycle out!

Now, here's why I think that the bottom higher number is actually the top position: Look at the "Buy ON" date. liudmi bought on 3/9/12, whereas pipteam bought just last month. Also, liudmi has cycled several times more than the others (cycle meaning whenever their spot earns, as opposed to cycling out, when their line matures at 300%). I don't know how they were able to cycle so many times with only 3 spots in the line, but it's what it is. Then again, maybe I do. The first one would have gotten the whole 10% that was to go to the next 10 positions, so there's $500. Then there's the 50%, which is $2,500, or $3,000. Then 50% of the other two would be $5,000, or $8,000. Then there would be the 10% cycling through the first to at 1% each, or 5% for him, so there's $250, then 10% cycling through all three, or 4% for him, or $200, making a total of $8,450. He probably got some referral bonuses in there too. If that didn't make any sense, that's okay; you'd have to like math to understand (and I like math). What I know is that for sure I am not going to be buying any $5,000 lines anytime soon!

I'm going to buy into the $10 line to upgrade, then I'll buy some profit units. As those mature, I'll use them to buy more lines, either $10 or $20 or whatever I can, and then reinvest all 70% of my cash earnings in profit units for a while. I'm not sure if I will ever put in more cash out of pocket or not. If I do, I'll cap it at probably $100 total, maybe less. I want this to be sustainable internally as much as I can, because I don't want to have to deal with funding my payment accounts to get the funds from me to FCM.
