Hello PIPS members,
Someone out there help. I joined PIPS mid last month and I am yet to make a buck with the few actions I have taken as advised by Stone.
Say what, you've been there, done that! Where do i need to start to realy realise results especially if am low on cash?
I do not want to give up thus I need a break!

Patricia - you need to complete the entire PIPS training at least once.

If you can't afford to pay for services that doesn't matter. Read, learn and skip the buy button. Then TAKE ACTION.

Do everything you can - not once but consistently and aggressively over time.

Start using the blog on your site (Day 15) - FREE! This is the primary way to get the search engines to index your site and keep re-indexing it - and to build back links. If you can do nothing else, you should do this as often as possible - once a week is fine - once per month minimum.

Nothing is ever going to happen unless you promote your business.

If you have more time than money then you have to work a little harder and maybe it will take you longer. But you can still do this - it is not about how much money you can spend.

If you have more money than time then you can pay for services to help you and it may go a little faster.

There is nothing instant or magic about building a business. It is not going to happen overnight.

It will only happen when you have invested sufficient effort and time to make it happen.

Patriciawangui.

I am in exactly the same boat as you, I have begin my business only last week.
The thing you must remember is that this is a long term business and you may not see results right away, some don't see results for 6 months maybe up to a year. But dont let that dishearten you.

I look at pips like a pension plan, you put in loads of time and effort only to see returns at the end. But trust me it will be worth it.

I would suggest that you do do something every day for your business, just pick something and work at it. Whatever you are good at ro feel comfortable with to get your feet wet.

I post to my blog twice a day for example, I have made a goal to have 60 unique articles up by the end of next month. This is something you can do for free and will bring in some good traffic to kickstart your business.

We are all here to help!

HI Hayden - you may wish to rethink the 2 articles a day as overkill after reading this thread by professional bloggers. I know it is logical what they say.

Why Posting Every Day is a Silly Strategy (And What to Do Instead)

I also learned in part from Mark Joyner's 'Simpleology' to keep your goals simple -achievable - if you make them too challenging you will wear yourself out and then be bummed because you didn't do what you 'promised' yourself.

Like the one I always laugh at people on Day 1 - 'I am going to make $10000 a month' - fine that is a worthy goal - but start with $100! Everytime you reach your goal, then double it or something - I just shudder to think all the many months that person is going to fail at reaching their goal before they reach it - if ever because they will get discouraged when they don't...

Excellent link and I almost forgot about simpleology! I do have an account there and even have the book. Thanks for reminding me. And yes I totally understand that two posts per day is just not viable in the long run. My goal was simply to get some quality content on the blog in the short term so that it does not remain empty.

I am one of these people that have so many ideas going through my head all the tim ethat I have lots to write about! I am also lucky enough to work for a web development and marketing company so you can imagine we are constantly bumping heads with ideas (many of whihc I steal for my own business and keep for article ideas!)

That said however, I will take that on board and keep a close eye on the quality of my articles

This is a really interesting thread. It's hard for the new not to be thinking that their first check is only days away, given the advertisements that we read prior to joining.

Its only natural for some us to set high goals also because everything else on the internet is instant. My experience is short in the internet marketing world but I believe that just about all the concepts can work just that some will need more effort than others.

In regards to the PIPS program which I recently joined and have enjoyed up to now, the only person I have read so far that has profited is Stone. I don't say that in a negative way, I'm staggered myself at that immense work he must have put in, so that we can be given a fair chance.

Thanks for the thread guys, I enjoy reading this kind of topic.

Easing into the training and one-program-at-a-time is what I recommend. I recommend learning how to promote one-at-a-time instead of trying to learn how to promote all of the programs at the same time, so as not to be overwhelmed. When any one of the programs is overwhelming I recommend to come back to it at a later date. In the meantime at least one of the programs (maybe more) are promoted with the potential to earn.

Questions about how PIPS works, what works best and keeping in mind that what works for one person may not work for the next person. Essentially, it comes down to the PIPS Training and if something is not clear just ask.

Jeffery 100% :-)

The whole (main) concept of PIPS besides 'multiple streams of income' is to have ONE website and ONE business - by promoting PIPS you promote ALL the programs with ONE effort.

What I advise then is to focus ONLY on the PIPS training and implementing as many things as you can to promote your PIPS BUSINESS.

Go through it the first time just reading to get an overview - then go back through and drill down on each day to make sure you got it and have done what you can with regard to that topic.

Once you have that rolling, then take one program at a time, login, see what resources they have to offer members (benefits, training, etc), understand their compensation plan and get an overview of their products and services so you can discuss it.

Then you may determine you want to specialize in one or more programs and you can start promoting them individually as well as from PIPS.
