Acme People Search

I was a member for several months and didn't make a dime. There are 3 steps that one must take after signing up for Acme People Search. Step 1 gets you up and running with your Acme People Search engine. Step 2 is optional and allows you to move your Acme People Search engine to your own domain. Step 3 is also optional and probably is the only place you can hope to make any money. I never went to step 3 because it involved me having to sign up to Tissa's GDI downline. From this point on you basically get others to sign up to Acme People Search and thus to your GDI downline in order to make money.

My recommendation is to stay away, but it costs no more than the price of a domain name and hosting to complete step 2 so by all means check it out and see if it's for you.

Good system to lose your shirt with Adwords.

Good system if you're the owner (Tissa)...so fair play to him!

Hi, Hyphen
With Acme People Search there are two main ways how to earn money.
1)With the Search Engine, what is created automatically.
2)With the bussiness opportunity, earning money with few affiliate programs, promoting Acme People Search.

Let's dive a little deeper.
Like most of you know people search is very popular niche with over 50 million searches. So thats eans there is a lot of competition out there, while you need competition, too much of it can be a pain. So what do you need is competitive advantage. In Acme People Search thats offering truly free people searches which other companies (White pages, intelius etc) charge for. Tissa Godavitarne the founder of Acme People Searches pays 25-30K a month for those search results. I don't believe he would payout that much money if he wouldnt get any profit.

When i a visitor goes to the free search engine types in name an surname he would get the preview results, and have the opportunity to unlock the free results if he completes a free offer by Trialpay. Recently there have been made some changes to the search engine. Now after the visitor completes the Trialpay offer he can access the database for whole 24hrs and do unlimited searches during that time. Let me tell you that's HUGE! Other companies do that for 20$ subscription + upselling on some other stuff. Another way those companies are earning is because they charge like 2$ for every search that has been made. oo

Unlimited searches vs. 2$ a searches... i think the winner is clearly seen. Thats provides an elephant head advantage over the competition. What people will do pay or rather get it for free?
You might wonder how then the affiliate earn money? Well they earn with Trialpay, and some upsell from Clickbank products like Phone search, Run background checks from HD publishing, Find people on (Social networks, and match.com etc) from CJ.com.

By completing Step1, you get the generic page that more then 460000 affiliate have gotten, so it wouldnt be practical to promote it in Adwords. Its real power lies with in Step2, where you brand your people Search engine with its own domain name. With that you not only brand your search engine, but also get the amazing opportunity to embed it in a website or blog.

So now you can create unlimited search engines and build content arround them so they have bigger chances to be indexed by google and yahoo, and can make you money if you send to those targeted traffic - people that want to find others or reconnect with old friends.
Right now there are some change being done to the search engine that will benefit Acme People Search affiliates even more.
I dont wont to sound like making a sale pitch just saying what the step3 is all about hope thats ok.

The second way is the bussiness opportunity. To be able to access this income source, you have to complete step3. In there are 6 affiliate programs which you can join, some for free, some for a montly fee. By promoting they services you can earn affiliate commissions, those arent worthless junk, what you can see on the net, but services that any newbie or seasoned internet marketer need.

GDI - hosting company, completing this will assure that your referrals under step2 will join YOUR downline and not some other one, but the best part is you can use an account that you already have. Other GDI downline builders require that you join under them, here no such thing.
Hostgator - great hosting services, like a lot of you know hostgator commissions are big ones.

GVO - hosting + marketing tools like (autoresponder, easy video producer, video lead capture system etc)
To be succesful everyone needs acquire skills, right? You might say yeah, but at this forum i can get a lot of marketing skills... Yeah, thats very true, but Shoemoney system gives comprehensive video training (covering all the basics and taps deep in to facebook, and affiliate marketing through video). Had the opportunity to test it for 2 weeks and was amazed by content they provided. Also there is wealthy affiliate (lots of how to ebooks for free and content packed forums) and Affilorama, one paid and the other free source of getting marketing skills a person needs to succesful.

What truly is great when you complete step3, and get all the affiliate id's and put them in the Acme backoffice, when ever one of your referrals will want to sign up for hosting with Hostgator or get skills from Wealthy affiliate you will earn a commission. That means that Acme People Search platform is promoting your links to your referrals. Tho it comes with a price. First 30 day's are for free and then next month is 29.95$. See you dont have to promote 6 different affiliate programs, just one Acme People Search so you can earn from those affiliate programs.Thats time efficient and save you money not having to make a blog for each one, creating ads for each one etc. Acme People Search is really like a platform for making affiliate commissions.

Oh almost forgot like last week there were made changes in Acme People Search referral program, and now its become more better then ever.300% more residual income if the referal stays subscribed under step3..
You can listen to the 13 august friday webinar recording where Tissa Godavitarne, talks about the changes in referral program and upcoming features in the free search engine.
Oh, I already said too much.

Acme People Search isnt a get rich quick bussiness, if you wont take the time to learn the skills how to promote effective either the free people search engine or the bussiness opportunity, you wont see the success that you want.

To Bravo75 Currently Tissa is moving all the funds from PPC advertising into new advertising model PPCall which will profit him even more. Tissa has been a PPC guy for 10 years, and now he is shifting to a complete new platform. I'm very excited about that, as he says it will be dawn of a new Affiliate marketing.

I also did not earn a penny here. So after a few months I quit.

Tissa G is a top earner in GDI simply because when you joined Acme People Search you have to get a domain name for your people search and you've no other option but to register it at GDI. And that's it...Tissa G gets his commission from GDI! For you to get the same you must exert tremendous efforts for your people search site to rank high in search engines.

I was a member for over a year--never made a dime and lost plenty with Adwords. There were too many restrictions on keywords and phrases. All I did was build Tissa's list. Stay away!

Acme people search is a great internet business. You can make great money with it but as is the case with any niche you have to get relevant traffic to you site and then have that traffic convert into sales or cpa commissions.

It does not matter what you are doing online if you do not know how to market, advertise or promote your product.

Anything that resembles a "pyramid" scheme is a no go for me. It could work, but it's definitely not for everybody.
