Excellent Milton!

And yes, once Joel officially announces that I am the winner, I will post the top 5 winners with their referral counts smile

Tissa

The PayPal updates were run a couple of hours ago, so you should see "Step 3: PayPal (Annual)" in your back office if you upgraded.  The PayPal audits were also just run, so your monthly subscription has been canceled if you upgraded to the Annual option.

From now on, Gary will be in charge of the PayPal audits as well, so you rest assured they will be done on time big_smile

Tissa

Excellent Alf, excellent Amy, excellent Linda, and excellent everyone else who has made sure that their referrals have upgraded to the $44.95 level!

Make sure your referrals upgrade folks - otherwise they do not count and you won't earn those $250 commissions.  We have not won the Beamer yet!

I have already set aside $5,250 under my mattress for the top five people with the most referrals who upgrade.  That will be paid out as soon as Joel announces me as the official winner (you won't have to wait for the BMW to be sold!)

Sorry about that folks.  One of the gremlins was doing a security check late last night, and noticed a disallowed character in some code.  So he modified the code - which broke the GDI cookie links.  Fortunately the issue only lasted for about 10 hours, and now your GDI cookie links should be happy.

You're posting in the wrong topic.  Please post here:

About 41 minutes into today's Webinar, I answered many questions about the Offline Advertising Co-op and PPCall.

As I mentioned during the Webinar, I am 100% certain that the TV/Radio/Print co-op and your own PPCall number(s) offer will not be extended beyond March 31, 2010.  All are included in your Step 3 subscription when you upgrade to an annual subscription.

Here's the Webinar recording:

Looks like now there are image links to this month's leaderboard and the BMW contest results.

Tissa

It's puzzling because the contest rules still appear below the stats.

And what's with all the xxx's next to everyone's name except mine?  Ah!  They're showing your own referrals only if you are on the leaderboard!

Tissa

What's up with the GVO leaderboard?

Tissa

Not sure why you're pasting a post here from November 2008.  That's old news.  But since you brought it up, here was Paul Burnette's next post the next day:

Thank you for the followup - I want to make clear (to everyone) that I NEVER said I was scammed in any way shape or form.

I know I wasn't scammed - I knew what the terms of the referral agreement are.

It seemed to me that this forum, in particular this topic, was for people interested in hearing experiences with Acme Affiliate Program. My position was simply that it was not easy for beginning affiliates to succeed with.

I was not trying to blast you or your program. I was just giving my experience. I believe my "review" was fair. I didn't think it was a good program for beginners to succeed with - based on the fact that I am at least an intermediate online marketer who cannot succeed with it.

That was all - It is frustrating, but I was trying to be as fair as possible and give my experience.

I appreciated all the responses I got from Tissa, despite the resolution not being what I wanted to hear.

In my opinion, it's very difficult for avg or beginner marketers to have success. That was all -

I'm glad you are actively following this topic. I know you are a VERY honest (and brilliant) online marketer.

I was just giving my experiences with it. I have had success with other programs simply because I get paid for signups (regardless of what they do afterwards)

I hope that is a fair understanding of my previous response. I didn't leave one of those stupid "he's a x#$%" responses - I left all my info -

Thanks again for your followup -

Paul

Stephen,

That is an excellent example of how folks can create fresh, original and unique content to monetize their free people search engines using long-tail keywords.  It's the type of content Google loves, so it's not surprising that your rankings are high.

Your blog also highlights the value of the embeddable search engine code.  Everyone should be using that by now (click on "Customize Search & Signup Forms" in your back office, in the yellow bar).

Way to go Stephen!  Clearly you've been studying all the resources available at this forum to learn some profitable strategies!

Here here!  Many years ago, when I should have been pounding the pavement looking for a real job, my wife stood by me when all I had was a vision and a high credit limit (on her card!)  We maxed it out (repeatedly) to build the search engine, that would ultimately become the foundation for ACME People Search.

Sam and Deb: You guys are an inspiration, and it's an honor to share the APS journey with you!  Happy Anniversary!

Make sure to attend tomorrow's TalkToTissa.com Webinar where the special guest will be the legendary Jeremy "Shoemoney" Schoemaker (Twitter/Blog).  He'll be answering questions and giving away freebies.

If you aren't familiar with Shoemoney, he's become one of the best Internet marketers in the business, but before rising to the top he was down-and-out.  It's really an inspiring story and I highly recommend everyone read his bio to learn more about him and how he got started in this business.   

This will be a big day for the APS community so be on your best behavior so hopefully he comes back again.  smile

Yes, indeed!

Following the Webinar (and after the recording has been posted) we will be having a contest smile  I will post a question based on the Webinar, and the first person to answer the question correctly will win a free membership to the ShoeMoney System - worth over $1,000!  The last time we did something like this Mike O. won a laptop!  The only way you will know the correct answer is by attending the Webinar or listening to the recording.  The sooner you do that, the better your chances of winning!

Tissa : Thanks for Canceling

You're welcome!

Will there be any indicator to let us know that the monthly subscription has been successfully deactivated?

Hi Milton,

Today's audit already ran (that's why Sharath's monthly subscription was canceled, for example).  Your monthly subscription will be canceled when tomorrow's audit is run.  (PayPal will send you an email notification.)

Thanks for another awesome improvement.  We've been having a fabulous start for 2010!  I can only imagine that the rest of 2010 will get even more exciting when TV and radio ads, print ads and paid per call take full effect smile

Indeed!

Thanks for all,
Tissa

No worries Alf smile  Offline advertising together with a pay-per-call income stream - it's exciting stuff!  Thanks for your understanding.

Tissa

Alf,

You're being alarmist again smile  I just replied in the other thread, and also replied to your PM.

Tissa

Alf,

Just sent you a PM.

Tissa

"Off to go market", you said.  I like that.  Clearly you understand the importance of learning how to MAP (Market, Advertise and Promote).

Tissa

Hi Octa,

Actually that sounds like an issue unique to your PayPal account, so you should probably contact them directly.

Thanks,
Tissa

Either you can cancel your monthly subscription, or we will if you don't.  We run daily audits to make sure that no one is subscribed to both the monthly and annual plans.

IMPORTANT: If you cancel your monthly subscription, make sure you do it after you have subscribed to the annual plan.  Otherwise you risk interrupting your Step 3 subscription, which will reset the 45-day waiting period before you are paid referral fees!

Thanks,
Tissa
