Can we be so protective of our PIP site that we can't share what it takes to succeed in this business? Why can't we share our knowledge, so that we can all be successful - It won't hurt! You have your's and we have ours. Lets talk!!

Richard,

With respect, if you were to spend some time reading some of the threads in this forum, you will see that everyone in PIPS is only too willing to share their knowledge. The forum itself is a huge resource for you to draw on and if you have questions or problems of any kind you can't find the answer to you will very quckly get a reply from someone who can help you. Admitedly it is a little slow in here at the moment, but that is due to the holiday.

I have written a testimonial for Stone myself and I stand by what I said as I am sure you will find others do too. The thing to remember, is that the PIPS business is not a get rich quick scheme, you have to work at it to be successful. Take in what you learn here and in the 30 day tutorial and you will be. If you are impatient to get that success, i would suggest joining the PPG Pips Power Group who will assist you in fasttracking your success.

I would just like to add, that I myself am not hugely successful, but every day I see things improving. I believe I will see that success in due course based on my efforts.

Hi Richard,

I find your poll a little confusing since the choices you gave are in a form of a question. If you would like answers to those questions here it goes:

Can you make money with Stone? Yes

Have you been successful? Yes

Would you recommend PIP Absolutely!

Is this your only income? No

Hope this helps!

[Stephen Meyer]

Hmmm, you made another Poll that asks multiple questions. Can't answer that way.

I will answer this way,
Success Or Not?
Can you make money with Stone? Absolutely, many people have done it and are doing it.


Have you been successful? Yes, more and more each day.


Would you recommend PIP, I recommend PIPs everyday.


Is this your only income?, No, but it will be.

As was suggested in your last Poll PIPs is a terrific starting point.

Graham said it perfectly, this forum is filled with people who are helping each other. You simply have to take the time to read what is written.

IM is not an overnight make money scheme. It is a process of learning what to do and how to do it and then applying what you learn. Applying what you learn is where most people fail. Actually, most people don't like the idea of work so they will never see success with PIPs or any other online business. That's the reason there are so many mentoring groups now and 100's of product launches each month. People look for the easy way and smart marketers sell them what they are looking for, information.

Stone is selling information (not to be confused with having to pay money to join PIPs). He shows you the tools you need to build an online business. Every tool he offers will work if you take the time to learn the process and how to apply them. But, it is up to you to learn how and when to use them. Then when you know what to do it is up to you to do it.

Most new Internet marketers will fail because they will not take the time to research, study, and most importantly apply what they learn.

A little disclaimer, some new marketers do not make it because there is no one who is willing to show them how to do it correctly. PIPs is 100% opposite of that.

Hey, Richard:

I totally agree with being honest and sharing our experiences with other PIPS members. That's why I spend so much time reading these topic threads in the Warrior/PIPS Support forum. I get so much insight and inspiration from reading what others are doing and what they recommend, it's great being here!

Sometimes I share my experiences and opinions, too, when I think they might have some value to other members.

You have mentioned about being protective. There may be some members who guard what details they reveal about their PIPS marketing practices, but there are far more members willing to share their knowledge.

So, what I recommend for you is that you spend time reading through as many forum threads as you can each day to find out what real, honest, active PIPS members are saying about their PIPS businesses.

If you do that, I think you will find the answers you seek.

Best of success to you in 2009!

Richard, I seem to have gone off-topic (and although I didn't mean to, have hijacked your thread) - so I want to first apologize and to respond to your topic. I am removing my post as it was intended for another thread.

One thing I have always observed is that the members here do not act like competitors but like 'co-workers' or 'peers' - like a team.

That is they will share what they are doing with anyone, show people how to do what they did to their sites, share resources that they used, etc.

I do believe in doing this and I think it is what makes this group so good.

I had noticed the phenomenon of people sharing openly while I was working in computer technical areas and it really impressed me.

I have always hated competitive anything and feel that to share openly is the counter-point.

I can say it is 'viral' as well - once someone has helped you then you appreciate it and admire that person - usually you would seek to do the same.

This is one good connotation of the saying 'what goes around comes around.

[Sharon Lambkin]

I hope I am not out of line here with what I have to say.

I publish a marketing e-zine and get advertising from PIPs members - I have written on the order page for better results change your subject line or change up your ad that Stone has prepared for you.

9 out of 10 people will not change it and just present it as Stone has prepared it - subscribers have seen the same subject line so many times that they just don't click on them anymore.

Be creative and put your own personality into your advertising.

Sharon,

Thank you. I'm new to this and those are the kinds of tips that really help when preparing to market my site.

Hi, Sharon:

I completely agree with you. When I was new to PIPS, I just went with the way things were created and given to me, thinking that was how it had to be.

I soon realized that since "every" PIPS member was doing the same thing, how could we expect to achieve above average results?

Then I joined this Warrior/PIPS Support group forum and experienced members encouraged me to start doing what you have just recommended - be creative and develop uniqueness.

Following that, I joined the PIPS Power Group (PPG) and that is when I truly began to make positive changes and started seeing results.

One of the PPG mentors, Jeff Schuman, points out that PIPS is a starter program. It's great for learning the basics of Internet Marketing, but then you have to step out and research and create your own marketing niche.

So, again, I say thanks, Sharon, for pointing out the value of creativity and personality.

Richard, who started this topic thread, asked if we could be more open and share our success stories and tips. That is exactly why I come to this forum and that is the value I get from it: info, insight and inspiration from other PIPS members.

Some of the successful Pips people have replied to this post but may I say that, as someone who has NOT made money with their Pips site yet, I still believe that this forum has been fantastic because of the HONEST and great advice I have always received. The successful pips members have always shared their advice (obviously for free and no strings attached.) They have always honestly advised me of the strategies on the 30 days training that are unlikely to work, and those that do work.
Thank you to all of you who SHARE your advice.

Dave
