What this Lens is all about

If you are thinking about getting a Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS) or you already have one, but don't quite know how to be successful with it, this lens will help you.

You'll find a very factual, no nonsense explanation of the Plug-In Profit site and NOT a bunch of promotional fluff. There is no point signing up for PIPS if it is not the right opportunity for you, so after reading this you will know whether it is or not!

The other purpose of this lens is to help existing Plug-In Profit Site owners become successful with their site. If you have joined PIPS with the belief that you will be in profit within in a few days (or even weeks) with little or no work, then unfortunately you have been misled.

Read on to find out if this is the right opportunity for you and what you MUST do to make your website profitable.

The Plug-In Profit Site - In A Nutshell

The Plug-In Profit Site provides three main things:

1) A Home Busines Opportunities Website on your own domain
2) A downline builder for popular business opportunities
3) A 400 day follow up series of messages loaded into your autoresponder.

What this means is that if you join PIPS you will receive a website promoting some business opportunities AND you will get your own personal copy of the PIPS sales page with your own affiliate IDS embedded within it.

If someone signs up for a program on your website, they are signed up underneath you and you will receive (or at least have the potential to receive) a commission.

Similarly if someone signs up for a Plug-In Profit site of their own through your website, they will sign up under you for ALL the business opportunities that are part of the Plug-In Profit Site.

Finally if someone visits your site and opts in for your newsletter they will start receiving the follow up series inside your autoresponder. Each letter will provide business tips and sell the Plug-In Profit Site opportunity with your affiliate ID.

Plug-In Profit Site Programs

There are currently 5 programs included within the Plug-In Profit Site. All of these are optional apart from Host4Profit hosting.

1) Host4Profit - website hosting ($24.95 per month, pays $10 per month recurring commission per sale)

2) Empowerism - internet marketing tools & training ($19.95 per month, pays $20 bonus per sale and $7 per month recurring commission)

3) Lawn Chair Millionaire - business opportunities vault ($29.99 per month, pays $20 bonus per sale and $15 per month recurring commission)

4) Strong Future International (SFI) - online retailer (free to join, commissions vary)

5) Global Domains International (GDI) - .ws domain names & hosting ($10 per month, pays $1 per month recurring commission per sale + bonuses of $100 per 5 sales per week)

If you do not join any of the above, your ID will be replaced in the sales page with your sponsor's ID. Promotions for all programs will also appear on your website regardless of whether you have joined or not. You can remove them from your website if you have some basic HTML or web page editing skills.

The minumum cost for a Plug-In Profit Site is $15 per YEAR for the domain name + $24.95 PER MONTH for the web hosting.

Plug-In Profit Site - Pros and Cons

If you need to make a decision about whether or not the Plug-In Profit Site is for you, here are the Pros and Cons:

Pros

+ Site ready for you within 24 hours
+ Site under your complete control
+ pre written email series to help you promote your site
+ Dedicated, helpful support staff
+ Support forum and training available for free
+ Solid business opportunities

Cons

- Host4Profit hosting is expensive at $24.95 per month
- If you don't change your website you will find it harder to make money
- The home business opportunities market is a very competitive one
- 30 Days to Success Training by Stone contains many expensive advertising methods, including some that are not very effective
- HTML or website editing skills required to change the website

What you MUST do to be Successful with the Plug-In Profit Site

If you decide to sit back and do nothing, the chance of making money with your site is very close to zero.

The home business market is a very competitive market and it will take you some hard work and effort to build up traffic to your website.

Here are the things that we see as essential to be successful with the Plug-In Profit Site

1) Find good keywords and optimize your site for the search engines (SEO) - if you don't do this you have very little chance of getting any traffic from Google or other search engines. Aim to find a keyword phrase that gets a good number of searches but isn't too competitive.

2) Make some changes to the text on your website. It doesn't matter if your site looks the same as other Plug-In Profit Sites. As long as it doesn't have identical text on it. Search engines tend to filter out duplicate pages, so you have a much better chance if succeeding in the search engines if you add your own opening paragraph, change Stone's feature article to one of your own and perhaps reword the information about the different programs.

3)Build backlinks like mad - backlinks will get you traffic and help to boost your position in the search engines. Get backlinks from writing and publishing articles, submitting your site to directories, commenting on blogs, adding your link to online profiles, exchanging links with other websites and posting in forums that allow signatures.

4) Get the word out about your site - as well as building backlinks for SEO you should advertise your site as much as you can. You don't necessarily have to spend money doing this. You can use free & low cost methods such as traffic exchanges for capturing leads, classified ads, forum marketing, article marketing, distributing business cards or flyers, blogging.

5) Add regular content to your website - the easiest way to do this is by adding a blog to your site. Post to your blog as much as possible e.g. 2-3 times per week. You can right short posts about business opportunities, business tips, product reviews or general ramblings about your business.

Many Plug-In Profit Site owners have found that the best way to learn how to do the above is by joining the PIPS Power Group - an online mentoring group specifically for PIPS owners.

This site contains an action plan that explains step by step how to do all of the above and you'll get personal 1-1 help in a private forum.

    What a great lens about the Plug-In Profit Site (PIPS). I started with PIPS myself half a year ago. I must admit that it is an easy way to start when you are a newbie because of all the additional training information you also get.

    I also recommend to sign up for the PIPS Power Group as they help you get started and answer all questions you might have. They support you with training task, PLR articles, videos, books and much more every month as well.

    A very informative and helpful review. I joined the Plug In Profit Site and found it to be a very good way to start a business online with multiple income streams.

    The best thing I did after this was to join the Pips Power Group of mentors who offer guidance and support to PIPS members,

    This review gives a perfect overview of what PIPS and the PPG are all about.

    I started my internet activity with the Plug-in Profit site. I had no previous experience about internet marketing. There was for me a lot of information in 30 Days to Success Training support. As a beginner I joined PIPS Power Group to learn more and I found group successful mentors and members whose share their experience and knowledge to help other Plug-in Profit Site members build online home business. Suzanne's explanations are very helpfull and informative.
