The unique thing about the PIPS programme, is that the initial cost to you is practically zero apart from the cost of your Domain Name and Hosting. This is your only requirement when joining. You must purchase both your domain name and hosting through Host4Profit. On completion of your registration, you are given a Taylor Made web site assigned to your domain name and which is uploaded to Host4profit. The web site comes pre-loaded with a number of affiliate programmes so the web site is immediately capable of earning a revenue.
This is not a get rich quick programme (if you can find one of those that work, please let me know) so you now have a bit of work to do.
The pre loaded affiliate programmes that come with your site are registered under Stone Evans id. So if anyone happens across your site and joins one of the pre loaded affiliate programmes at this stage, Stone Evans will get paid for introducing them and not you. So you’ve guessed it, one of the first things you must do having aquired your new site, is join any of these affiliate programmes that you see fit and get your i.d. from them to put into the links on your site.
Don’t be alarmed by what I have just told you, this programme is by no means a scam, but a clever way of marketing by Stone Evans and remember it is a clone of his own site. I just felt I needed to make you aware of the necessity to change any links to those of your own.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any experience, as this is all done automatically for you if you follow the 30 day step by step tutorial which in it’s own right, is worth it’s weight in gold.
You’ll find the tutorial built into the programme when you log in to your “Back Office”.
A word about the tutorial.
The tutorial as already mentioned, is worth it’s weight in gold and gives the beginner (newbie) an excellent step by step method of instruction to get the best from your site in the shortest possible time.
However, there is a tendency for “newbie’s ” to jump right in and follow everything to the letter! Whilst there is nothing wrong with this in principle, it is worth noting that not everyone has the same level of budget and if you follow every recommendation (there is no obligation) you can very easily eat up a substantial amount of your hard earned money.
The best advice I can give at this stage is for anyone, not just the beginners, to join the “Free” affiliate programmes only.
Okay, so that leaves Stone Evans affiliate links on the ones you don’t join and he then has the potential to earn money from your site. Well my answer to that is, that is not a bad thing, considering he has given you a “Free Taylor made web site” with a comprehensive tutorial and one which in time, will, if you follow his tutorial, generate a substantial income for you. You can always join the paid for affiliate programmes later when you are comfortable with the level of visitors you are getting to your site.
Once you have joined the affiliate programmes of your choice, by all means read through the tutorial, but don’t be tempted to subscribe to the various traffic exchanges etc. before visiting the “Pips” members area of the “Warrior Forum”.
Why do I say that? Well, the “Pips forum” is a community in it’s own right. Within the forum, you will come across incredibly helpful people, all with the same goal. To make a success of their plug in profit site. They range from complete novices to experienced marketers and even the Guru himself, Stone.
Whenever you have a query or need help, just search the posts in the forum, or better still, make a post of your own and ask any question you like , no matter how trivial it may seem to you. You can be sure of a rapid, friendly and extremely helpful response. I guarantee, that once you have visited the forum, you will return again and again.
As previously mentioned, the web site you are given is now yours and as such, you may do what you want with it. You may add other programmes of your choosing and you are under no obligation whatsoever to join any particular programme. Although if you are serious about your on line venture, the programmes featured on your new web site are tried and proven methods of generating a substantial income and it would be foolhardy to totally ignore them.
If you want to make changes to your new site and make it stand out from the rest, as many pipsters do, but don’t have any knowledge of html etc., there are video tutorials to which you will have access, that give you basic step by step instruction. If you still feel uneasy about making changes yourself, you can purchase certain upgrades at nominal fees. These our outlined in the pips help section of your back office.
one the first and most important changes to consider making to your site, would be not necessarily the look of your site, but “Search Engine Optimization” (SEO) This will then give you the best possible start to generating traffic from the search engines. Known as organic traffic or free traffic. There are many articles to be found on this subject, but if you are unsure or feel uncomfortable about making changes yourself and would like to pay for the service, then when in the forum, look out for Suzanne Morrison a fellow pipster who does an outstanding job for a minimal fee.
You are now ready to maximise the potential of your site and this is now the time to sit down and work out your budget. By budget, I not only mean financial, but also time.
Financial:
How much per month you are able to spend on subscriptions to programmes and marketing.
Time:
How much time you have available to actively market your site, by writing articles and blogs etc. Set yourself a task to do each day.
Once you have worked out your budget, stick to it! Don’t be tempted to overspend on marketing.
The best way of getting visitors to your site is as stated before, getting organic visitors. Article writing and blog posting all generate “back links” to your site. The more “back links” you generate, the more the search engines will love your site, which in turn results in visitors.
Remember, the more you put into promoting your site, the more you will get out of it. This is not a get rich quick programme it will take time and as long as you don’t lose sight of that fact, you will succeed.
