Topic: 4th step - close your account...

Hi.

3 weeks ago I joined ACME and using many methods of advertising in polish, english and german - posting on forums, blogging, writing articles, free adverts, twitting (3 twitter accounts), traffic exchanges, paid PTC... and more I have 8 Sign Up's and only three completed the first step. It took me much time - and I think now it's waste of my time and money if I'll pay my monthly charge. Any ideas?

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Well I know it can be hard to get referrals at times but basing your results only on 8 referrals is not a fair way to judge this business.

Twitter is tough because a lot of people get spammed on twitter and do not sign up for ways to make money online.

Have you thought about subscribing to the annual subscription Tissa is offering so you can get some advertising that way?

Also, have you read through all the different ways to advertise in this forum?

Yes

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Hi matoo,

Think of this as starting a new business (because that's what you're doing, by the way).  And you're ready to quit because your first eight customers haven't made your business profitable?

Do you know of any business (online OR offline) where you can become profitable after your first eight customers?

APS isn't another one of those "make money quickly" programs.  You know, the programs where you can make money from your first eight customers wink  If that's what you were expecting, fortunately you're still in your free 30-day trial.

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Hi Matoo,

I do understand that getting traffic to your website and acme people search is very difficult but at the end of the day it is business so it means that it is your business. let me explain in more details.

Suppose you start a new business weather online or offline, you have to do so many things starting from buying place, start buying stocks and than keep on maintaining and than you have to market to people so that they will know that you have start a business and that business will be helpful to people.

With acme people search you don't have buy place, nor brand the product, nor you have maintain it, nor you have to worry about the complaints and many many things that you have to face all this problems, solution, keep up to date with people and so. But Tissa does all this thing, Tissa have branded Acme People Search which you don't have to do, Tissa maintain the date of acme people search which you don't have to do. What exactly you have to do is just promote it weather online or offline, no matters, you just have to learn the skills properly how to bring targeted people if you bring non targeted people over here not only you won't get sign up but your conversion will drop to zero so there is no point to bring non target people over here.

Once you have learn how to bring targeted people to you Acme People Search than conversion and earning with flow into your account.

One thing I want to tell you before cancelling you account that why don't you become super sponsor and start working with us and I believe that than only you will understand how to help people and pay it forward.

I hope malto this might help you to understand bit more... wish you good luck

Thanks
Alam

3 weeks ago

3 weeks ago!!I've been doing this for 1 yr and probably, only in the last 4 months I've finally started making progress. It's been a steep learning curve but I'm getting there slowly.  If you started a business you wouldn't expect to see results in 3 weeks and you wouldn't see any results without working really hard.I know this because I've got a business and it's hard work.

There is no point throwing everything at the wall and hoping something will stick. It's imperative that you build a foundation i.e. a good blog, well thought out and seo optimized. You have to write articles every week, not just 3/4/5 and then pause, you've got to hammer away and then link them to your blog. PPC is also important as are press releases.
Traffic exchanges can work but usually you need something different to differentiate yourself from the crowd.This can be achieved through an original splash page or lead capture page. Clicking away with an affiliate page gives you the sense of being proactive, but in reality your time could be better spent elsewhere, like taking a deep breath and reading this forum. I attribute everything useful I've learned to this forum.

You will only succeed if you take the long view, learn + implement =grow and then repeat. Keep going, stay on the forum!

I laugh to myself every time somebody says something like "I've been in business for three weeks and...", not because I'm laughing at them, but because I remember where I started and all the tickets I created for Tissa in my first few weeks (I still think Tissa should find those and post them for everyone to see). Am I ever glad I stuck with the business and looking back now it just amazes me how much the business has grown and how much value Tissa has packed into it that makes it even a better way to make real money online. I'll say it again, if you can't make money here, you can't make money anywhere.

Hey Gary, stop putting pressure on us! HoHoHo!

Yes

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Any business will require some months to start. Brick and mortar business requires at least one year. Statistics show that 10% of new business survive next five years, and 10% of these will celebrate their 10th anniversary. Luckily, we are starting with a consolidated and proved business, and lot's of owners are making money.

If we are not making money, it is not because of APS business but because of us. No one will make money during their first month unless they have got experience on Internet Marketing. My own experience tells me that the learning curve is slow, but if we continue learning and testing, I am absolutely sure we will success.

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Hi,

There are no ifs and buts in this or any other business. You must either commit yourself to it, and make it work, or not. There will be costs involved untill you are profitable but that is the same as any other business.

It is easy to get distracted on the internet with promises of instant income and easy work. The only thing to remember is that anyone making promises like this is lying to you, I know through bitter experience. Here at APS we tell you the truth, it's not always what folks want to hear but we tell it anyway.

Treat it as a business, learn what you need to know, then keep on learning more and you will succeed.

All the very best,

David

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Gary you said it. I have tried many programs and spent a lot of money before stumbling unto APS. It's here I finally learned how to earn and how much work online marketing is. And I too have learned that if I can't make it here, I will never make money online. So I have dropped everything and am now fully focused on APS.

Thanks for sharing and reminding us all.

Here, here, Laura. I have done the same, APS is what I do online. It started out with GDI but now it's Acme and this will do everything I want to without having to be ashamed of what I do and by being honest and upfront at all times. smile

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Hey Gary/Tissa,

great stuff! Did you ever, " master adwords" Gary? What's that magic book you're talking about?

David

Yes

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Gary your earnings are compelling smile How long did it take you to get these results? Other intresting thing is - Adsense isn't very important income stream...

By the way thanks for your posting wink I decided to stay on board tongue

Not a lot, but no cost to me.

Gary, thanks for sharing your successes!  It really helps remove some doubts from some new APS members smile

Matoo, good call that you've decided to stay on board.  It took Gary's 2 years to achieve those results.   However, with APS continually improving, and Tissa/Gary and many others continuing to share their knowledge, I don't think we need 2 years to achieve the same results.

Absolutely agree.  I need to start reading "Beating adwords".  I have been putting it off too long smile

Thanks for being the best affiliate manager there is, Gary!  I'm creating forum links right now smile

Re: 4th step - close your account...

And I just now passed another milestone I had set for myself.

I just passed $10,000 in referral fees!

Now that I know what I'm doing (at least somewhat), I think my next $10,000 will be a lot easier.

Oh, I wanted to add that if I can do this, then anyone can. It just takes the desire to learn how to MAP.

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Great work Gary. I need to get there too.

Yes

Re: 4th step - close your account...

This is a great milestone, Gary!  Hopefully, we're moving along and following your footprints.  I'm sure you'll be earning more with ACME than from your old job soon smile

Re: 4th step - close your account...

Hi Tissa,

I 'm coming back on duty after a weeks offshore duty in the Middle East. Came back a week ago and was checking my ACME account. I was trying to open my search engine but it says that my account was close. I don't for what reason . Noone from your support informed me why the actions was, at least they should let a member know why it is close. Charges to my card from GVO & ACME proceeded as scheduled but i cannot even access my engine.
Your assistance to look into this matter will be highly appreciated. Thank you. My ACME login detail is - https://acme-people-search.com/login.ph … 01592KMDL. Thank you.  Best regards Angelito
