For all of you who doubt my motivation, please allow me to respond to you on what I have accomplished to date promoting the PIP (Stone) site.

I have in fact completed all the lessons given & upgraded those sites recommended by Stone and yes I am advertising with many agencies, local and internationally and yes I am promoting my site exclusively (putting all my eggs in one basket) and yes I believe all the time I invest (4 to 5 hrs per day) will eventually pay off.

After reading some of the responses I received from my posts, I find this program will take more patience then I anticipated and yes this program may be worth it.

I would suggest the PIP site be designed to be user friendly as to adding links & other data to the site without learning HTML.

I have a web site purchased through GoDaddy that allows me to add html sites as links and is very user friendly. Maybe PIP can learn to use the same format? It just may be worth the $99.00 per mo.:confused:

Hi Richard, I am not sure how long you have been with PIPS but as with any business you need at least 3 - 6 months just to learn the ropes and it may take 1 or 2 years before you make a substantial income. Following the 30 Days to Success guide alone probably won't be enough, it is basically just laying a foundation on which to grow your business.

In regards to your comment you may be interested in my Wordpress driven PIPS site (WP-PIPS 2.0) which I will hopefully have ready to take orders this weekend. Here is what it looks like if you haven't seen it already Work at Home Ideas & Opportunities | WP-PIPS 2.0

I doubt there is an easier way to manage a site without knowing HTML than Wordpress.

All the best,
Mike.

Hi, Richard:

Sounds to me like you are on the right track. You are correct in that it does take time and patience. In the long run, it is worth it for the experience and the training.

I agree with you that it would be great if the PIPS site was more user friendly. Perhaps, over time and as technology advances, that will come to pass.

For now, for me personally, I find it quite interesting and empowering to be developing my HTML skills. It helps to have a great SEO mentor.

Keep plugging away and you will make progress.

I doubt it will progress much beyond what is now and remain free, at least not in the near future. Perhaps there could be a free version and a paid version.

Providing a more user friendly site would likely involve a more complex and time consuming installation and increased support for Pat who I believe is already overloaded not to mention keeping it updated.

If Stone did introduce a more user friendly site it would have to be extremely robust and fool proof as well as very simple to use. I know from experience from running PIPS 2.0.

I agree with GT that it really helps to at least learn the basics of HTML and SEO. Especially because most PIPS members are on a tight budget and not going to be able to afford to outsource.

Hi,

Everyone here has made some valid points....PIPS needs a facelift and usually at some point Stone does that so we shall see what happens in the near future....you must make changes to your site from an SEO standpoint as well as from a viewing standpoint.

Alot of people are much smarter now and no a cookie cutter site when they see it....

Upgrading on all programs in the 30 days does not guarantee success and thats where alot of people fail.

It takes much more work then just upgrading your GetRresponse to make money...understanding basic internet marketing principles is very important...

Take care
