Hello Everybody,
Okay just trying to get a poll here to help me out a bit, i know you have to be patient and i am, just dont have the funds right now to do what i plan for my pips site ie upgrading and advertising, so if you guys can some info on when you started to when you got your first commission and what are some tips that helped you out.

[Asher]

Hi Arllan,

I got my first commission within 1 month! It's not a lot but when I got my first sales commission, I was pretty much over the moon.

I did a lot of research on my own. Read a lot too.

Most importantly, I took action.

That is the best tip I've come across and the best tip that I can give you.
Whatever that you're read and come across, study them and apply them.
Find out through experience for yourself which works for you and which doesn't.
It is only through that way that you can truly grow and evolve to become
a true internet marketer to generate multiple streams of income for yourself!

Hi Michael Kelly,

Wow, that's very inspiring. If I've been with PIPS since June and have only gotten an average of 20 visits per day. I might have already left! The good thing is though that you've got 35 leads for your autoresponder! That's excellent!

I recommend doing one thing with all those leads if you haven't yet and that is - personally email each and every single one of them.

People understand that they're receiving an email from a bot but if you can get them just before or somewhere just after their first message sent out by the autoresponder, it lets them know that you are "real" and not just some guy running a system!

I've also sent you a PM.

Hello all,
Very interesting question Arllan with some responses you didn't want to hear. My personal situation is that I'm now 2 months into this deal. Have opt-in leads and one affiliate BUT no sales. Like everybody else I'm perservering.
One thing I've noticed is that everytime I look at the 30 day training manual I always see something I avoided or skirted, usually [I now realise] because I'm a total newbie and don't understand what the benefits are or how to carry out the instructions! If nothing else this is huge learning curve, even down to this being my 1st post.
So, it seems it takes longer than we all thought but we will all continue, won't we?
Best to all of us, will catch up, John yeomans

Hi John Yeomans,

Welcome to the Warrior Forums. Firstly, it's a good thing that you're persevering on. A lot of people take internet marketing as a get-rich-quick scheme and give up within the first month.

So congrats, you've made it past that! There's a lot to learn and the 30-day guide is really just that - a guide. And 30 days isn't enough to cover everything about internet marketing.

Stone did an excellent job by covering as much as he could to help you get started with the PIPS system - all you had to do is try and implement everything that's in it until you find what works for you.

Unfortunately though, the general consensus is that getting paid visitors don't work. So I personally don't recommend that. But it's up to you.

Feel free to ask ANYTHING in the forums, John.

We're all here learning together.

Hello Everyone,

It really is very interesting to know that there are others like myself out there. I was starting to wonder if i was the only one still on the bench.
I started out in July and i have not yet made any sale, but you know something i know it is going to happen and i will continue to give it all i got. I believe in this business with all my heart and i know something will happen shortly so long as i continue to promote.

I am completely out on cash now but i look for all the free ways to do as much promotions as possible. I am not a writer so writing articles is just not my thing and that is really a big draw back for me as article marketing and blogging is said to be the ideal way to go, i would therefore have to buy some to post but i will not allow that to get me down. I still believe i am going to make it.

Don't worry just keep doing all the work you can the commission is just a moment away and giving up is totally out of the question.

[Asher]

Hi gussie789,

It may be hard to handle the truth but if you're short on cash, you need to replace that with work.

Even for myself, I'm not saying I'm making huge sales and I have lots of money - but in place of money and targetted paid advertising (which is the way to go for huge money), I'm doing article marketing and blogging.

No doubt that you need a certain level of copywriting skill but it's a learning curve.

When we can't pay for it, we work for it.

Check out the Copywriting Thread in the Warrior Forums for some ideas and help!

To your success!
Asher

PS,
I'm writing a free guide right now that's available on my blog. Check if out if you're interested! It's titled "Free Newbie Guide to Internet Marketing". Link at my signature. All the best!

When you are emailing your newsletter signups do not over do it. You can quickly run them off. I have mine set to include an advertising type email every 10-14 days or so. Plus if something good comes up I will send a broadcast to all subscribers.

Use Traffic swarm to help build your business and use other exchanges the same way. Do not use the exact same titles and messages that are in the 30-day training. Come up with your own title and short sales message. To even be more effective study the pro's and how they set up their squeeze pages for the traffic exchanges and get NVU or Trellian Web Editor for free and create your own capture pages. Don't use your web site in traffic exchanges because no one will take the time to read it. use the PIPs sales page and create your own lead/newsletter capture page.

Signup for as many Social networking sites as you have time to handle. Then when you write an article or a blog post submit it to them. Most aregoing to want you to participate in the community. They do not want you submitting your own site and nothing else. So, a little trick is to submit some other sites first and then submit your own last using your keywords. Just read their rules and participate in their community and you will do good.

Use traffic exchanges, write and submit articles to directories, stay consistant with blogging, and social bookmark your pages. Those things will give you a big jump on building your business.

It take me 6 months to earn my 1st check.

But i will continue my efforts to earn big money.

[Matt Helphrey]

It took me around 7 months to start making money on top of the money I was spending for the programs I am using.

Persevere is the key word here. If you are not making money yet, just make sure that you are monitoring your traffic and that your traffic is going up every month. Eventually the money will follow.

Matt

[luckystar]

Hello everybody,

I have not made a dime but with what i have seen an experienced i hope one day i will make som money.

As regard personal contact with your lead, that is the best i have seen.
I just tried it just a week ago to one of my leads, as a matter of fact we do communicate as if we had known each other for a month now.

In addition to article writing i urge to search for an already writtten artcle with keywords that relate to PIP and reshape it with litlle substituions and addition of words. It must surely pay. But time is needed.

[WarriorWizz]

Hi all,

Ive been involved since July 08,
I am getting large traffic through traffic exchange (900 visits a day) but to date no commissions.
It is a bit disheartening but I am persisting with it.

Cheers,Ilidio

[lianwei]

I made 2 sales within two weeks! It was really very encouraging although its minor compared to those big names.

Perhaps I was lucky to get active subscribers from the leads I bought. I also submitted articles faithfully.

Drop me a pm or e-mail me at support@peiprofit.com if you need help with articles. Simply visit my blog and I hope the resources there might be of alittle help to you

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome onboard. I received my first commision within the first month from SFI. I am now hitting my 3rd month & have got my first full PIPs signup to all programs a few days ago & have also got a commission from Empowerism in my 2nd month.

It does take time, but the most important thing you can do is educate yourself on Online Marketing. Go through the 30 day success guide & work within your budget. If you don't have money you will need to spend your time building your business.

PIPs is a fantastic business, keep at it & the results will come.

Regards
Natasha

[luckystar]

Hello Everybody,
I made my first sale before 60 days. Above all, the SFI is performing extremely well. To be honest ,time, energy and perseverance are needed for you to make it.

[veejay]

Hi Arllan,

I'm even newer than a newbie. Got my first check from SFI on my 2nd month. Joined PIPS in August and on my 23rd day with my 30 day success training.

My observation here is that we need to persevere in this business and believe that one day you will reap the rewards. Everybody has a different story to tell but all lead to success.

Keep holding on,
John Shelembe

Ive been in pips since Nov 2007, Ive made a few commissions but not enough to cover the money I have to pay to be in pips, I've upgraded with everything i can, I am seriously thinking of giving up Ive tried to do every thing stone has taught me, (30days training)
But I cannot afford to do them all. Ive written articles solo emails and advertised in general, some free some ive payed forSo if anyone has any advice I would be most grateful.

[keith olliver]

Hi Jeff
I don't know really, Ive written articles, Ive advertised, I'm in the pips co-op,
Ive joined all the sits in pips except reverse funnel, I thought i would be making money by now.
I Know this is not a get rich scheme, and it takes time to build and that is what I've been trying to do. I can not keep spending money. so any help i can get i would be truly grateful.

Again, thank you for your responses, im in the research mode right now, so another question is what do you all think of the MEGA PIP, and is it better using your word press blog for it?

[bigwal88]

[zirkamer]

Approximately 30 days for my first signup.

What's a PIP?

[StevenChai]

I found the training by Stone is very useful. It really helps to better position my website in search engine. Next thing I hope is to get more traffic and more sign up.

Hudson, PIP stands for Plug-In Profit site, introduced by Stone and we are in this special forum for PIP's members

thank you

[Spirijo]

Hello--

I would like to encourage you to adopt my motto: "what you lack in funds, you make up in creativity". Even if you don't feel like you are creative, you still have to roll up your sleeves and make it happen. There are so many free advertising opportunities available to you.

Ideally, you want to ultimately upgrade, but sometimes we have to take baby steps. And it all counts, don't forget that.

Inside your Success University system, listen to the goals course. it is about an hour or so. Implement the strategies and move forward no matter what. It is called How to set and achieve goals by Gary Ryan Blair.

After you have focused on your strategies, don't look at the money. Look at how you can meet the needs of your strategies and goals. The money will follow. If you stay disciplined and don't give up.

I hope this helps!

TJ

[alloke613]

I am new in PIPS and I did not make any commission currently. I have 40++ visitors per day but can't get any lead. Too bad. Hope I can get result soon.

[pbwsfi]

I became a PIPS member in October, 2008 and have not yet received any commission. No complaints though since this is my first venture into internet marketing so a learning curve has to be expected. I find that reading comments in this forum has been very useful in generating ideas to improve my marketing skills, and I expect in time the rewards will start coming in. Everyone is going to have different results so rather than compare to others, just go at your pace, be patient, try to master a skill each and every day, put forth the effort and good things will happen!

[Host1Biz]

Hello,
I would like to thank everybody for there inputs, I've been researching throughout the year and putting together a business plan on how to apply my marketing strategy, I've been reading alot of blog post on training tips from various PIP sites, one thing in common is that perserverance and research on what and how you are promoting your PIP is a must, trust the tips and training from this forum. My biggest downfall for me was that i didnt plan my finances correctly, and i had to make a decision to drop the PIP program, this year 2009 after all my research and making a road map in both monthly finances and marketing strategies i will re-join the Plugin-Profits program again. Happy New Year!!!.

Respectfully,
Arllan

[JamesFraze]

my first experiments with cj.com I am embarrassed to say what I did and how I did it... however I got about 30 clicks (made about $20) before I took down that experiment.

Basically I said "get your free something here" and when they clicked it went to a PPC ad.

I was a newb, and this was about 5 years ago. It took a few weeks to get the clicks. This is back when classified ads and auto submitters actually had some value.

[jjasmern]

I just finished my first 30 days and will be receiving a commission from SFI for the month of December. I have not gotten any full signups yet but do have 3 for SFI. I am averaging 2-3 signups to my autoresponder everyday.

I've put in a lot of work into accomplishing this and am very encouraged that it will continue to build. I did follow the 30 day guide very closely. I admit I didn't do everything that was suggested but did most of it. I also joined several additional traffic exchanges in addition to Traffic Swarm.

Don't get discouraged. I think one of the most important things is to keep a positive attitude and keep plugging away.
