Hi Stone.

My name is Johnnie Tan, after several months of reading your sales pitch on my email, I decided to join PIPS last month.

It has been over a month now,and I don't even get ONE sign ups. What Gives???
I bought 10,000 Leads from Adminder upon your recommendation which cost me $100.00, and it went off in least than a week, with NO Results.
I joined Success University upon your recommendation which cost me $60/-. and I got NOTHING.
I didn't join Empowerism, because I don't think it'll work either.
I was a member of SFI, and Traffic Swarm prior to joining PIPS I'm an EA in SFI and is making a little money from this program.

I have also advertised on my own, IN Blogs. Emails, FREE Advertisement etc.

Is there any other suggestion on how your program might work for me, because it certainly is NOT working for me at the moment.

I'm almost BROKE, and need some sign-ups or Income to Get PIPS going for me.

Please advise

Thanks

Johnnie:confused:

First of all, Johnnie, PIPS has worked for lots of people for many years.

However, in one or two months it is unlikely that anyone would make any business which they are building a big success, particularly without some real agggressive, consistent effort.

Instead of being skeptical and discouraged already, you need to keep a positive outlook and channel your negative energy into determination to succeed.

I don't mean to sound cavalier or harsh at all. This is reality. There is no magic business that you slap up a site and do a couple things and expect results. It just doesn't exist and unless you work at it diligently you will never see any results.

Again - the main skill that it takes to succeed is the positive mindset. The one that doesn't see failure after 30 measly days. The one that works hard every day.

If you don't see any sign ups then all that means is you need to try harder and give it more time. If PIPS didn't work it wouldn't have been around all these years.

NO PROGRAM WORKS UNLESS WE DO.

Maybe you need to go back and read the sales pitch again and see the part about Stone working day and night for years to see a significant return on his investment.

When someone recommends something, for instance Stone, he is saying it worked for him. That doesn't guarantee it will work at a different time for someone else. That is the chance we all take. It is the same chance Stone takes.

Having said that this is not for everybody. Lots of us do not have the ability to just work on faith. No big crime. We are used to going to a job and doing X amount of hours for X amount of dollars. We are conditioned to that - but being in business for yourself, you have to be able to go on believing and trying really hard sometimes for a long time before you see any results.

It's the ones that realize they have to work hard OVER TIME that end up succeeding. Much more fall beside the wayside because they expect something for nothing.

Whether you spend money or not, you still need to spend the time and expend the effort. You are doing some good things for free - as you will see many times here - blog and article marketing, search engine optmization, forum posting are all free ways to promote your business - but again they require hard work and they need to be given time to produce results.

I know you can do it. However, You have to believe you can.

Hi Johnnie,

Sorry to hear about your situation. PIPS does work and the methods
that you've applied are to try to give you a fast start to succeeding
with the PIPS system.

As Patricia has stated, there's a certain amount of time needed in
order to succeed in your PIPS business. After a month, it may still
be too early.

What you received in your PIPS is the basic kit, it's recommended
that you build it up now. Either by sending traffic through paid
methods or otherwise.

This is a business and it takes time to build. Don't believe me?

You are the best example.

You joined after several months of reading the emails before
finally deciding to take the decisive step. How can you expect
people to sign up within one month if you yourself took a few?

Give it time, understand how making money online works and
soon, you will get your signups.

Hi Johnnie,

I sympathize with your frustrations, we have all been there at some point. There are many threads in the forum which will help and advise you the best way forward.

I have previously written a blog which may help you understand bit more.

To your future success.

[Kym Robinson]

Very good advice from above!

For me - pips has worked very well!
but in saying that - I work very hard on my business.

I put in at least 10 hours a day 6 days a week and am very determined and focused! I hope you can find some focus and determination and you will see results more quickly.

The Pips opportunity will get you there alot quicker than other programs - being that your site was completely setup for free!
Now you just need to play the game and work your butt off!

Good Luck to you!

Hi Johnnie,
When I went through the 30 days training, I realized that in order to make this PIPS works, a lots of work need to be done. IT IS A NUMBERS GAME. I even make a 30days summary chart to monitor my work status, this way will make me see the whole picture much more clearer and easy to monitor my progress.
I'm having my hard time to change my mindset. I don't like typing, no budget hire ghostwriter I have to force myself to do it, English is not even my first languge, finding a keywords is a hell to me.....sometime I don't even know whether people understand what I had wrote. whatever it is, I did learn a lot from it.
Bottom line is, Mindset is very important.obviously this is not my "Comfort Zone". Just drive the traffic as many as we can. Cheers.........

[johntanyishin]

Yeah, it's not a get rich scheme. You are better off buying lottery if you want to make big money fast.

You will need to put in real hard work in it, try doing some of the free methods to drive traffic, blogging, article marketing, etc.

Focus one thing at a time, it will work.

Articles galore! Watch your name climb the ranks when you start posting articles. Remember, your selling yourself!

[Doug Gorman]

Johnnie,

First off, your success will always depend upon your desire to never fail. You are going to have ups and downs as with any business venture, but if you keep your feet planted firmly to your goals, budget, focus on one element at a time, and never quit - That is when success starts to tap on your door. Keep rolling the snowball and eventually it will become so large that no one will be able to stop it once you get it rolling down the hill


Also, Check out Plug-In Profit Site News - tons of free info, ebooks, tools, tips, interviews, etc...

Hi Johnnie, we have all been there. Starting a business does take a lot of time and effort. I wrote this article one day when I was feeling a little discouraged. Maybe it will help you. Good luck and don't give up.

Watching Your Business Grow

[John Coates]

Hi Johnnie
Sorry to hear you being disheartened.
I joined the first of this month. That's right - 1 October 2008, and I am feeling soooo good about PIPS. I am following every piece of advice that Stone has offered and sometimes getting a detail wrong because everything is so new. (By the way, thank you Pat for putting things straight for me even before I had my site - brilliant!)

But I feel so confident for my future because everything I keep coming across is step by little step, easy to understand for simple minded individuals like myself. And once I've completed the 30 days I will then review again to repeat what worked as well as taking support from this forum, the PIPS Co-op, etc.

All I would suggest to you Johnnie is - remember what fired you up at the beginning, grab it, hold on to it and continue to work because as we say in the north of England, "you don't get owt for nowt". Which translates as you don't get anything for nothing

Well, that's all for now. This is my first ever contribution to any forum so let's see what I got wrong when I try and submit - here goes!

[Matt Helphrey]

Hi Johnnie,

You are going to get a lot of drawn out responses on what you can do or need to do, but the fact is, you need to put your money away and learn the system first.

If you start targeting long tail keywords and write 2-3 unique articles a day 5 days a week, you will start seeing some sign ups in a few months. I know it's tough but this business takes real work if you want to see real results.

Best,
Matt

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the advice and encouragement, I guess we'll just have to keep on working harder.

Hi Johnnie,

Give it time, build backlinks to your site each day, blog and write articles, and you will see results over time.

Hi Johnnie,

As a member of Success University, you will receive 3 x CDs and 1 x DVD per month.

Get into the habit of playing them and absorbing the messages. They will help you to reorient your thinking, your understanding of success and how to achieve it.

For example, I just listened today to Gary Coxe talking about "The Ultimate Life" - I thought it was a fantastic presentation and learnt a lot.

This stuff IS powerful, if you use it!

Good luck!

Wa-O! Fantastic pieces of advise. PIPS members are fantastic people and vey generous with advise!

Johnnie, what this means is: it's time to sit tight and work, work and work. There is silvery lining at the end of the tunnel.

To your greatest success.

Adiari Captain.

Hi Johnny,

I joined PIP in Aug, and spent Sep reading through the 30 days guide, and Suzanne's blog and taking notes. There are lots of ways to do free marketing, and I manages too get my efforts to start writing articles. My two articles were posted in over 20 free article directories over some hours. I am quie happy as I see my traffic go up by the day.

I agree this business takes time, so I am giving myself to a year to see results, and not giving up so easily.
