Hello all,

Is Pips what you thought it would be?

Is Pips working for you?

Is it harder than you thought?

What's your opinion?

I just started with the Pips. I am a little bit confused. I need some advice on ways to get it going. Can you help?

[Matt Belock]

PIPs is great. When I first started looking for a home business opp, I searched many different opportunities. I joined one (no names) and received no support. I didnt want anyone to hold my hand I just wanted some guidance to get me started. So that opportunity really put a damper on my beliefs about home businesses.

Then when I got introduced to PIPS, I was told truthfully what it will take and that this isnt some overnight scam. This is a business. And I repected that highly and the great support and training I have received is very helpful.

Is it what I expected? Absolutely, its a long term business. Do I wish I could be making $1,000 every month, Yes, but I also know it will happen with the right determination and action.

Is it hard work? I would not consider this hard work. At times it can get confusing with some forms but its something I will conquer. I would never say this business is harder than a traditional store front business. This business is fun and is a complete learning experience for me.

My opinion is there is no other opportunity like PIPS.

I think that Pips is great. I haven't been around too long but so far it is a great place to be.
There are a lot of people here willing to help you when needed. They give you great advice what to do and what not to do.

Marilyne, I think that you should take your time and do a lot of reading. The 30 training is a good place to start, remembering that a lot of things in that training are suggestions. I also think that you should read with your purse closed. Host4Profit and Get Response is what you need right now. Continue to come to the Forum and ask questions like you are doing and get advice before you start spending what money you do have.

I plan to be here at Pips for a long time. People here won't do the work for you, but they will be sure to lead you in the right directions. Working with the people here at Pips has made my entrance into Network Marketing so much easier. I love it here.

For me PIPS is great. PIPS has teached me everything about internet marketing and how to earn money from internet. Eventhough I had been in the business for 2 months plus and still no income, but it is not that PIPS not working, it is because I am a bit slow and couldn't really concentrate. I believe in this business and will keep on continue to work till I success.

First off PIPs is rarely what anyone thought it would be. After reading all the information most think they should be making money in the first 30 days or so. But we know that isn't going to happen. Actually, I have seen many in this forum and in the PPG forum who have yet to make $100.0 a month after 6-8 months. In answering two questions at once, it is harder than most people think. But, it's not impossible and it can be done.

Is PIPs working for me, yes and no. I have had only one full PIPs signup in almost a year. But that's not the fault of PIPs it is my fault. I promote the different PIPs affiliate programs individually and get signups for them consistently. Because I don't promote PIPs as a whole I don't get PIPs sign ups. I am building my business thanks to PIPs but I am not building a PIPs business. Hope that makes sense.

My opinion, the home based business field is tough because of the number of competition and because of the number of junk programs pawned off on newbies. Everyone has the answers newbies are looking for and for a few dollars their list will grow fast and their website will get 100's of visitors. So newbies spend days trying to get these junk programs working for them and they waste a lot of time and money for nothing. The result is wasted money, wasted time and a bunch of frustration. People either end up quitting because they have no success after several months or moving on to different ventures.

PIPs can be a very lucrative busines if it is worked correctly. I suggest people unsubscribe to all the junk email and newsletters and start fresh. Find 2-3 successful marketers and learn everything they can teach you. Get their newsletters, buy their ebooks and study. Then learn proper SEO and SEO your site yourself and do it the right way. Then article market and Blog themselves to making money.

There are no shortcuts and there is no one who holds the magic key to making money. It takes work and dedication to build an online business but it also takes doing it right. Getting rid of the junk, the hype, the we will show you how to do it nonsense and start building a business the way I stated above and you can make some money.

So far i think it's been okay staying on pips.'Cause i have learnt a lot,even though the result is not coming as fast as i want,but i want to be that consistency wins the race.
Hence, I'm still here and will be here more and more...Not to forget that i made my first sale on Net through pips.It's just a worth while experience.

[Kym Robinson]

Well - Im loving it!

Yes it is hard work - I work my business at least 8 hours a day 6 days a week and probably more! Because of this I have seen very good results so far and in comparison to what I read from others I know Im doing better than alot of others!

But I put that down to spending a heap of time learning and consistently putting things into action EVERY DAY.
I have a to-do list and do it every single day!
Now that Im quicker at that - I add on different tasks and just keep on going!
You have to be enthusiastic and committed!
I am both - Im just luckier than most that I retired a few years ago and can do what I want when I want! Pips has been great for me!

For someone to have their own site up in around a day is fantastic!
I have learnt heaps about how to change my site and I have a huge advertsing campaign that gets me signups for all my programs and pips and heaps to my newsletter.

I wouldnt have known where to begin or what to do without Pips and Im very glad I found the PPG also. My only worry is I probably spend too much time in my office at the mo!

Dont be disencouraged - dont be disheartened if you are not far enough along as you want to be! Just keep working hard and putting in a consistent and focused effort! You will get there - it may just take a while if youre busy with other things!

[tplahav]

for me PIPS is exactlly what i thought it would be.
It doesn't promise you to get rich over night and this was very important to me when I joined.
Like the others I am very pleased, I learned so much the last year and the only thing I am sorry about is not making this step earlier in life (like 4 or 5 years ago).

How about you Barb? Are you happy?

PIPS to me is a great introduction to internet marketing. You can certainly appreciate what Stone is doing the more you learn about how to make money online.

I knew it was going to be hard work to earn money with PIPS but the rewards are well worth the effort and time invested. The passive residual income that comes from the fruits of your labors is truly a remarkable feeling. I can't wait to see where I will be a year or two from now.

I have been in PIPS for almost a month and am still confused. I am willing to and have been working hard at it. I have been following the 30 day training, but feel I am just spending money with no visible results. I joined the ad coop (like a dummy, for a year!!) and have only been averaging 1 visitor per day with no sign ups. According to the Coop founder's math that I read on another thread, it takes 500 quality visitors to make a sale. If that is right, based on my current figures, I will have less than 400 visitors this year and not have a sale from my costly coop membership.
Also, as advised in the 30 day training, aside from the coop I have been directing targeted traffic to my sales page rather than to my website, but just found out that there is no way to track statistics for that site.
I'm beginning to feel sick to my stomach about all this. I intend to keep on with all the free advertising I can find, blogging, and article submission, but my enthusiasm is now low and I'm beginning to feel I've been scammed once again.

I have found PIPs to be extremely refreshing. It has taught me alot about Internet Marketing & i have certainly learnt some do's and don't already in my short 3rd month to date.

I highly recommend spending the time to read through the 30 day success program in your back office. Set yourself a budget & time schedule & goals. Once you know what you can spend, how much time you have to work your business & why you are doing it: You will then work out which of the options best fits you.

I have already had 1 full signup with PIPS, I am getting on average about 600-700 daily visitors & still working hard on improving on these number to convert more sales. I am actively building my list as well as Article Marketing & Blogging.

I have been happy to date with my success with PIPs however i still have a long way to go to achieve my goals.

The more you read & educate yourself, the easier things will become for you.

All the Best
