New PIPS Member Here With Questions
Share on: 
fb share twitter share gplus share more share

Hi,

If I upgrade my getresponse account and plug into the PIPS CO-OP package at $99/month how many sales will or can this generate per month?

Also if I recommend the Co-op to new joining members under me it should be a good duplication method to start out right?

I don't have enough budget to buy any more advertising, the $99/month package is my limit.

I have about 6hours per day to work this business If I can get a proven step-by-step plan to start earning Sales within 2 months I'm all for it.

I know many says it takes a long time but I believe 6hours a day can get you far quick I just don't know what to do I need some to help me.

I've spend a ton of money and "wasted" 1 year trying to make sales with Big ticket programs . There are so many different promotion methods that it's hard to know what would be the absolute best.

Thank you

My advice is do not spend your only $99 on the co-op. There are better ways to use your money if that is all you have.

For one, you must work at getting backlinks to your site. To do this you need to master one form of traffic generation such as article marketing, blogging and social bookmarking, forum marketing, ezine advertising, ppc and so on.

Blogging and social bookmarking is the fastest way to get traffic and backlinks for long term traffic. Also consider getting a PIPS Power Group (PPG) membership. You will see the link in my sig file. You can get some great personal coaching and learn the best ways to spend your $99 a month.

Jeff is right. He should know because he is one of the most successful at it. Backlinks is the key.

I joined the PPG and and the mentoring is 2nd to none. The 1st biggest thing they taught me was how to stay within my budget.

You can PM me if you have any questions

Cheers and to your success

Hi arnold,

I think it would be wise to use the $99 on something else. There are many tools you can purchase instead to help ease some of the workload you will need to get backlinks to your site, ie article distribution service or web2 submitter.

Your efforts should be focused on getting traffic to your website through keywords and back links. This will beneift your business in the long term. The best part about it is that it doesnt have to cost you anything.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Arnold,

You are getting good solid advice here. You have a limited budget so concentrate on those things that are free. If you have 6 hours per day to devote to your business then make sure it is all productive time.

Go back to Jeff and listen to what he has to say, he has given me very good advice and support so you won't go wrong if you take his advice on board.

Oh, and welcome to the PIPS world and the forum!

Alan

I agree with all of the above!

and note.........I wanted to join the coop when I first came on board with Pips, and to this day I have still not heard back from my several emails to them!

your money would be much better spent at any of the suggestions above!
I am a member of and would thouroughly recommend the PPG if you really want to streamline your efforts and succeed quickly!

Much better things to spend $99 bucks a month on then the coop!
also - Suzanne Morrison has a post on her blog with a review of the Pips coop if you want to read some more!
I dont have her link here - but you can find her through this forum!

arnold997,
it is always safer to prepare for a marathon than a 100 metres dash so that you are not out of breath, as you may find out you are in for a long haul. Therefore as they say, "softly softly catch monkey".

Follow Jeff's advice and gradually build up your backlinks and eventually the sales will come. Luckily you have enough time to tradeoff against much spending.

Hi Arnold,

I too would strongly advice you not to spend your last dollars on the PIPS co-op.
In fact, I'd keep those dollars tucked away in my wallet. There's lots of things you can do to get some free traffic to your website(s) and see if that will generate some sales. This is just my personal opinion, but I would NEVER spend my last dollars on ANY online product. Because success is never guaranteed, and being able to pay the rent and have some food on the table is way more important.

Did you go through the 30 days to success guide that comes with PIPS? It actually gives you some structure, sound advice, and things you can do that are free. Like submitting articles, getting links to your site, and lots more.

Please listen to what sound advice you have been given by the Warriors.

And a tip: I don't see a signature below your post. Set it up and put the link to your website in it. If you don't promote your site at every opportunity, how are you going to get visitors and backlinks? This is the sort of thing you should first focus on Arnold; getting free traffic to your site.


All the best,
Jim B.

Thanks for all the replies I appreciate it,

I do know how to setup my sig thanks, thing is I was still deciding if i'm going to do PIPS or not.

I'm currently promoting Affiliatejunktion through PPC making about $150 New Zealand Dollar profit per day, it costs me about $50 to make $200 still waiting for my check they should pay me $1800 end of this month.. too bad I don't have enough money to pay for more clicks.

One thing I've read is to find a need and provide a solution and the money will follow. Woun't it be easier to just go and find a keyword like "ways for teens to make money" which gets 800 searches per day according to "wordtracker"(it doesn't include google adword searches) and only has 3,000,000 results on google which is quite low, and then design a simple website with that headline and content then work till you reach front page of google and then repeat the whole process?

Cause think is PIPS looks really great but I've read allot on this forum too that the more unique your website the better you'll perform, or don't I have to worry about that?

I haven't done allot of SEO but do realize It's essencial to build a long term successful business. After all the replies I got here I went and learned as much as I could about SEO, like relevant unique content + allot of high ranking backlinks and keywords and so on.

I'm still learning love the forum by the way

Hi Arnold,

Jeff is right and he should know, I have been in the PIPS coop for some time and haven't had one single sign up from it. I use it for the monthly articles which I download, change around a bit to make them uniqiue so that I can post them in article directories. If it wasn't for that I would drop the coop and use the $99 elsewhere.

Mal.

Hi Mal,

I hate to break it to you but you can get the exact same service for $19,95/pm here

I believe these are the same guys who runs the co-op.

I must say it was stupid of me think want to try the co-op I saw the review on the blog it's not good results, I think I would go for the $19,95/pm it's an awesome price for 30 fresh articles every month .

I would like some to hear what you guys think of my post above about the "find need and provide solution". I think I should get a unique name to use everywhere must change my "arnold997" maybe.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your information, the PIPS Powergroup looks really great, i would love to be able to have an expert just a keyboard away to answer my questions I've never had a mentor in the past had to figure out everything and being in big ticket programs success is not easy without a mentor especially being a newbie like I was. I have allot of technical questions. if anyone is willing to answer for me I'd appreciate it very much

The first question is: article marketing, what I don't understand about article marketing is this.. in order to get higher google ranking you need high ranking links back to your website right. Now when I post an article to an article directory like ezine articles the webpage link my article resides on does not have any ranking at all, should I then work to increase every articles ranking also?

Hi Arnold,

You are thinking along the right lines about SEO. You can use your PIPS site in that way, change content and optimize it for your chosen keywords. That is where the PPG comes in very handy, you can get personal mentoring on the best method to do this from Suzanne Morrison. So listen to Jeff and learn from his experience!

Alan

Hi arnold997,

If I get you right, you are talking of the page rank of your website where you have your article residing. If this is what you mean, then you are turning it upside down. It is the ranking of the website of the article directory where you are submitting the articles to, that matters and can influence your own website's google ranking. Thus a higher PR article directory will pull up the ranking of your website more than a low PR ranked article directory.

This is not the only factor that can influence your websites google ranking though, since for example a large no. of backlinks from many article directories will also be significant in influencing ranking than only few backlinks from few article directories.

Many other parameters even beyond these two above are also at work in determining PR.

If however you are referring to the PR of the webpage of the article directory where you have your article residing, then you cannot singlehandedly influence the PR of another webmasters site except your website is "the big boys' " like google, white house, georgebush etc.

thanks dele,

that is good to know. but what is the reason for back linking articles like this legitimate home business review

this is just one I wrote for Affiliate Junktion.

Do you have to back link all your articles too or just your main site?

thanks

Hi arnold997,
The rules of the forum does not allow you to do this even if you wish to, and you can not even get to do this even if you try as you will observe. I think this is to avoid the negative effects of people changing identity with different posts.

From my experience, it actually is better if your name is used(at least first name) from the outset, since you could end up being around for a long time and people can clearly identify you by your name and other benefits can result therefrom, rather than a pen name.

With the situation as it is now, what you can do is to always insert your real name at the bottom of your posts in the main content area. I see a number of members i.e."bigdollarshere" -kym, doing this.

Hi Arnold,

I agree, the more unique your website the better. In my opinion, the first thing that someone should be doing, before they do link building or article marketing, is to optimize or get their website optimized for a good keyword phrase (good being a decent number of searches and not to much in the way of competition). If you don't do this, then you can probably wave goodbye to lots of search engine traffic.

Personally I would stay away from keywords like "ways for teens to make money" as these teens are probably looking for ways to make money that don't cost money and so will be unlikely to join PIPS.

So, as well as your keyword being searched on frequently and not having too much competition it should also be targeted and relevant.

I also have an SEO service for PIP sites:
Plug-In Profit Site SEO Update Service

It can take a few months to see good results from SEO but getting hundreds of free visitors each day from the search engines is definitely worth waiting for.

Cheers,
Suzanne

thanks
That backlinking is from the article company and it is using your article title as an anchor text to find your article on their webpage.. Anchor texts are more SEO friendly and targeted than an ordinary link to the same website especially if the right keywords are used. You do not have any control over that.

What you have a control over is the article title which the article directory will now insert as the anchor text.

If the article page on the article directory's website is now accessed, your own actual backlink will now show up.

Regarding backlinking all your articles during submission, the idea is to backlink your article to the most relevant page on your website/blog. Thus if your main/index page is not the most relevant/targeted, then you should backlink each article to the most relevant webpage. Many webmasters have no updated content for their website and so use the main/index page for linkback.

As I mentioned earlier, your influence on the webpage of the article directory where your article is residing ends with the submission of your article except you are white house, george bush, google etc. Before submission however, you can influence the page rank of the webpage of the article directory where your article will reside by making sure the title is catchy, very targeted keywords are used and your article is properly optimised for your keyword/keyword phrase.

Imagine however that after submitting your article, white house decides to insert a link in their website to your article page on that article directory's website. Naturally the page rank of that webpage where your article is residing will witness a significant boost.

Also, the past and current activities/rating of the article directory will stimulate that page's ranking even on day 1 of submitting your article. Hence the advantage in posting with some highbrow social marketing sites like Squidoo.
