INTRODUCTION

The Acme People Search business, or APS, as commonly referred to in this Forum, had its humble beginning in early 2008. This was the the first time it was released to the public, but it actually took 10-years to develop. Tissa Godavitarne - owner and creator of this business began his afflilate marketing career 10-years ago.  Inspired by his inability to "hold a real job" (his words, not mine) he ventured into affiliate or internet marketing.  Gifted with a no-nonsense business management style and determination, he is now a huge success in the World of Affiliate Marketing. (For more information on Tissa's success in affiliate marketing and on APS, please refer to the Presell Page available in your APS back office)

Now, he unselfishly shares his success with APS with the principle of "Paying It Forward" to his affiliate members.

THE APS BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The APS Business is segmented in two programs:
   1.  A Free Pre-Built "People Search" Search  Engine with 6 Income Streams
   2.  A Business Building Affiliate Referral System with 7 Income Streams

APS has been designed for its would-be affiliates to earn unlimited income from then 8, and now 13 Income Streams. Each income stream has proven track records and the most popular programs in the Internet Affiliate Marketing business.

   Step 1 - Income Streams - ALL FREE TO JOIN AS AN AFFILIATE

   2.  HD Publishing

   Step 3 - Income Streams - For Monthly Residual and One-Time Huge Sales Commission
   7.  Global Domains Int'l (GDI)
   8.  Hostgator - Free to Join as an Affiliate

  13.  AFFiLORaMa
  14.  PAY PER CALL

How Would An Affiliate earn from APS Engine and Referral System and with the Income Streams?
For an aspiring affiliate to earn from APS Engine and Referral Programs with all the income streams, a three (3) simple steps is required to be successfully completed:

THE THREE (3) EASY STEPS TO SUCCESS!

(Note: Before Signing Up as an Affiliate, make sure to read Affiliate Terms, FAQ and T.O.S. of each program that you are joining, as well as the Referral Program Agreement of APS Business)

1.  Step 1 - Build Your Search Engine. This first step is absolutely free and is FREE FOREVER for you to earn commissions. Affiliatize your APS Engine with all the Step 1 income streams, namely Clickbank, HDP, TrialPay, Adsense, CJ, Match.com. You must signup as an affiliate of these programs and enter your affiliate IDs from those programs in your APS back office. 

The people search niche engine is huge and is accountable for 30% of all the searches done in the internet, hence you will be able to make a very good income by promoting your newly created Acme People Search (APS) Engine. Whenever a searcher unlocked results from any of your affiliate links embedded in your search engine and they pay for the premium, you will earn commission. However, the limitation is that you wouldn't be able to promote it via Pay Per Click advertising until you brand it with a domain and host it with a web hosting allowed by APS (see Step 2). Please read TOS Violation: Using the Forum Referral Links in PPC Advertising by: Tissa Godavitarne

See Step 1 Video Here

Here is a FREE Customizable APS Engine courtesy of closenno that you can MAP and earn from your APS engine.

Does the Free Acme People Search Engine Really Makes Money? Check this POST by Gary Chappelle.

Note:Even you're only at step 1, you can be able to promote your APS Referral Business using your Step 1 income referral links and accumulate potential income whenever your referral/s proceeded to complete step 3. However, you can only access your APS Referral Income Stream and get paid when you have completed and stay subscribed to step 3 for a minimum of 45 consecutive days.

For more info about how you can earn from your APS Engine, refer to the following links
Step 1 FAQ by: loganirado
APS Income Streams In Detail by: Joseph Estipona
Understanding & Maximizing Commission Junction (CJ) by: Mary Payton

2.  Step 2 - Brand Your Search Engine. At Step 1, your APS Engine is temporarily hosted by APS, hence it has its limitation as above stated. The best way to attract potential users to use your search engine is to provide it with a domain name (people search related) that can easily be remembered. This also gives the impression that you own that people search engine which cost a huge amount of money to maintain. The Acme People Search engine contains more than 300 Million US people records, updated regularly at the cost of more than $25,000/month and is being provided to you for free to earn commissions.

See Step 2 Video Here

You can brand your own APS Engine by subscribing to a domain name and hosting from one among GDI, Hostgator and Lunarpages. Any of these will be offered to you during the course of completing step 2. If you already have an existing hosting accounts with any of these hosting companies and haven't yet used the hosting, no need for you to subscribed hosting again, you can use your present hosting for your step 2. Else, you have to subscribed to one among the GDI, Hostgator and LunarPages.

To subscribe to one of those web hosting companies, you will need a Verified Paypal Account or Credit/Debit Card. GDI offers a 7-day trial subscription and you pay $10 after. For Hostgator, you can get it a cheaper cost for the first month if your sponsor has his Hostgator affiliate link active and has provided a Hostgator Coupon Code in his back office. The hosting that would be offered to you depends on the hosting configuration that your sponsor has. If you want hosting other than what is being offered to you at Step 2, simply submit a support ticket or PM Trish at the forum.

Upon Step 2 completion, you would notice at your back office the last 7 Income Streams (GDI, Hostgator, GVO, APS Referral, Jeremy ShoeMoney System, Wealthy Affiliate and AffiloRama) are still grey in color which means that they are still locked and you wouldn't be able to join and MAP within APS these Step 3 Income Streams unless you have completed Step 3 even with just the free 30 days trial. This also means you can't make money from those last 7 income streams that have huge money making potential, especially the APS Referral Business. The Referral income stream when unlock is so powerful that referrals you enroll in your APS business would also be your referrals to GDI, Hostgator & GVO.

Further after completing Step 2, the embeddable search engine code will be available to you. That is the Customize Your Search Engine link within the box besides your APS engine domain which is http://yourdomain[dot]com_or_ws. This is fine way to customize your acme people search engine and make it more attractive to users/seachers, rather than use the replicated APS engine site

UNLOCK NOW THE 7 POWERFUL INCOME STREAMS THAT ARE SURE TO MAKE YOU BIG MONEY!!!

3. Step 3 - Unlock Residual Income. To make more money with the Step 3 income streams, you should unlock GDI, Hostgator, GVO, APS Referral, Jeremy ShoeMoney System, Wealthy Affiliate, and AffiloRama Income Streams by subscribing to Step 3 either by Paypal or Trialpay. First 30 days is absolutely a free trial period, then you'll be charged $29.95 thereafter if you do not cancel before the trial period. By Marketing, Advertising, and Promoting your APS referral links and you have brought in paying customers to APS when they subscribed also to step 3, you earn step 3 referral fees and monthly recurring commissions.

Joining any or the rest of Step 3 Income Stream is absolutely optional. But to earn from them, you must subscribe as an affiliate to those programs, by clicking the links in your APS back office.

The beauty of APS as one platform to all Step 3 income stream is you will only have to MAP your APS business and every referral you bring will be a potential referral to any step 3 programs that you have joined. Each Step 3 income stream has its significant role in the APS business. Just make sure to enter your affiliate IDs in your APS back office when you have joined any program to potentially earn from them.

GDI - Completing Step 3 has the GDI Sign Up Sauce Ingredients (GSSI) made available to you. When you select Force Hosting (FH) , all your incoming step 2 referrals will be offered GDI only. This gives you the opportunity to earn GDI commissions as well as potential GDI Weekly Leaderboard Bonus (WLB) . For every 5 direct signup per week made via your FH option, you will earn a WLB of $100. 10=$200, 15=$300 and so on. Plus, you also build your GDI downline for a monthly residual income of $3,905 if your APS referrals has also this option, and so with their referrals, and so on. That income is only based on 5x5 Matrix. You will get unlimited earnings depending on the number of your level 1 downline. Force Matrix (FM) options in your GSSI lets you build a 6x6 Force Matrix for a monthly potential Income of $9,330. You will need to provide under this option your 6 first level GDI downline usernames, which will be in rotation in your back office GDI link. After those first level has been filled up with their respective 6, your second level downlines usernames will be next in rotation and so on. This option is simply a good way to motivate your APS Referrals and GDI downlines. GDI Force Hosting/Matrix Best Explained Here: by: Tissa Godavitarne

AFTER LEARNING ABOUT APS BUSINESS AND ITS INCOME STREAMS, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

Treat APS your Business

How do you treat business a business? You have to at least invest a meager amount so you get the feel of your business. You feel a more sense of responsibility running and growing your business, you're going to invest your time and effort because you have an investment as compared to no investment when starting it, of which chances are, if it don't work at the initial stage you're going to take it for granted.

In this APS business, you only start with $10 after 7 days with GDI or free with your sponsor Hostgator coupon. Next investment would be $29.95 after 30 days for your first Step 3 payment subscription. With a meager $40 investment, you are bound to earn unlimited from your APS business with the income streams. You have the potential to pocket in your first $200+ APS earnings (which include the $125 Guaranteed Commission) when you have invested at least $40. When you are already earning, your earnings will now answer for your monthly subscriptions.

WORK LIKE HELL AND ADVERTISE

NEW!!! Pay-Per-Click Advertising Using TV, Radio & Print Ads in the US

Quoting from the APS Back Office:

Offline Advertising: The Next Frontier of Affiliate Marketing!

Whether it's pay-per-click advertising or search engine optimization, the biggest challenge facing most affiliates is driving quality traffic to their Web sites.  The learning curve is steep, and plagued with obstacles.  Just when you think you've found a way, your PPC campaigns are slapped down.  Or your Squidoo lenses are locked.  It's enough to make you throw your hands up in frustration and quit.  Surely there's another way?

There is.  In June 2010, I will start an offline advertising co-op for eligible ACME People Search business owners.  The co-op will be comprised of targeted television, radio and print campaigns in select markets across the United States.  (Yes, you can participate if you live outside the U.S.!)  Professionally produced ads will direct prospects to your APS referral link, your GVO autoresponder, and your phone number.  Wait: Your phone number?

How to Reach the Next Frontier: Get Paid Per Call (PPCall)

One of the main reasons why offline advertising has become the next frontier of affiliate marketing is pay-per-call advertising.  With pay-per-call advertising (PPCall), you are assigned a unique phone number that rings 24/7 at a fully-staffed call center.  Whenever someone calls your phone number and a pre-determined requirement is met (i.e. the call lasts for 10 minutes or more) you earn a commission!  In other words, you're paid per phone lead.

Not only will I rotate your phone number through my national TV, radio and print ads, but you will also be able to promote your unique phone number locally (by posting classified ads, for example).  Plus you'll have access to professionally printed cards, fliers and signs that you can distribute locally.  With PPCall advertising, you can monetize a HUGE segment of the population that prefers to talk to someone before they buy.  Don't you?

Your APS referral link and GVO autoresponder will also be rotated through my TV, radio and print ads.  Each visit to a conversion-tested Web site will rotate through co-op members' APS referral links (for prospects who join immediately) and co-op members' GVO autoresponders (for prospects who "want more information").  If prospects opt-in AND call your unique phone number, you get the referral AND the PPCall commission!

Membership in this unprecedented, offline advertising co-op is INCLUDED in your Step 3 subscription!  To be eligible, you must upgrade to an annual Step 3 subscription (one month free) before March 31, 2010.  By limiting enrollment, the co-op's value will be preserved for all members.  Reserve your spot now, and take your ACME People Search business to the next frontier - for less than a dollar a day! Upgrade now in your back office

Re: APS Business Complete Beginner's Guide - Updated Aug.14

First things first, illshowu2, do you have to quote everything here?  The post is long enough and it's just taking up space and time for me to scroll.  If you don't have to quote everything, then please edit your post.

Awesome post, Rod! +1 from me!  It definitely is a one stop shop for all newbies.  It also earned a spot in my signature smile  Very timely for the Affiliate Summit as well where Tissa is promoting the forum.   I'm thinking about consolidating all the information here for an ebook which we can share with new prospects.  There is definitely enough information here for anyone to create a blog.

There are a few things I wanted to point out:

Rod wrote:

If your referral had his Step 2 hosting among GDI, Acme, Hostgator based on your step 2 offer, you won't earn Step 2 Referral Fees. So that's make it only $20 Referral Fee per referral (Note: Temporary ACME hosting will be provided for your referral step 2 after 45 days if your referral doesn't complete Step 2)

I believe the $10 step 2 referral fee is not paid only if referrals completed step 2 with GDI, Hostgator or Lunarpages.  We should be able to earn $10 for step 2 when our referrals are given the courtesy ACME search engine.  When they are hosting with ACME on step 2, I think those integrated affiliate links are Tissa's.  Someone would have to confirm that.

Also, when our referrals complete all 3 steps, we are paid a recurring commission of $4.50 or 15% if our average conversion rate reaches 15% or above.  After the first $200 payout including the $125 credit, people will get paid if they earn at least $50 thereafter.

Milton,

        Quoting from Trish's post below:

        "If your referrers are wanting to earn the $10 commission for step 2 with Tissa's referral program, then they would do nothing (select no forced hosting) and then when their referrals sign up and complete step 2 right away, they would be offered Lunarpages (the default host, earning the $10 commission for your step 2 in the referral program)."

       http://acme-people-search-forum.com/post/48607/#p48607

       From the above, I think you can only earn the $10 if you set Forced Hosting & Forced Matrix to "NO" and your SA switch is not flipped. So your referrals will be offered the default hosting which is Lunarpages.

Regards,

Edgar

Re: APS Business Complete Beginner's Guide - Updated Aug.14

Wow!  Awsome!  Excellent!  I'm running out of words here.... big_smile

This definitely brought the house down.  All info are there, all references and courtesy... you name it, this post have it.

Hands down Kabayan!  It's a shame we can only give +1 each. sad  Points here can go off the roof!!! big_smile lol big_smile lol

Edgar,

I think Trish's answer is still not very clear.  What if we didn't sign up for Lunarpages, would our referrals still get offered Lunarpages?  I think a lot of people didn't sign up for Lunarpages either.  In the past, my referrals were offered ACME before I had the SAS.   We might need Gary or Tissa to clarify this.

Yes, I think so. They will be offered Lunarpages but under Tissa. That's why we will be credited the $10. This is just my understanding, but yes, Gary or Tissa can clarify this case. This maybe all cleared when the update for the hosting being offered will be completed, wherein our referrals can choose which hosting they want from GDI, Hostgator or Lunarpages.

Edgar

Re: APS Business Complete Beginner's Guide - Updated Aug.14

Just before i'll make some update...

Thank you all guys for your appreciation and all the  +1 for my post. I'm extremely overwhelmed! Yes, it took me about 5 hours (during wee hours, so i can concentrate coz its quiet) to complete the guide, but i know i have overlooked some topics and features worthy of inclusion. I am really deeply inspired with the Pay-It-Forward principle, we need a lot of new members to succeed for our goal to make APS the best internet business for 2010, and reach that $1M Bash. I hope in some little way this could help. I know that i'll be successful here if i am able to help even some new members succeed by Paying It Forward.

Again thank you all, i couldn't type anymore the names. I feel all my efforts doing this topic had paid-off with all the commendations and appreciations i received. This will be my legacy to APS Business & the Forum for giving me hope to lift my financial difficulties. And may i now return the favor to all you - That POST wouldn't be made possible if not because of your most helpful topics, the heart & soul of this topic Thanks again, you are all wonderful APS Affiliatemates smile

To Our APS Success!

Godbless Us All!

Rod

INTRODUCTION

APS, most popularly known as Acme People Search had its humble beginning on early part of Year 2008. Tissa Godavitarne, the owner, inspired by his unemployment situation and with his no-nonsense business management has made it successful in the World of Affiliate Marketing and with business sense, he had unselfishly share his success by creating APS Business, starting off with the "people search engine".
(For more information how Tissa Godavitarne made it successful in the Affiliate Marketing business and how APS came to evolved, read the Presell Page available in your back office)

THE APS BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The APS Business is segmented in two programs:
   1.  The APS Engine
   2.  The APS Referral System

Hi Rod,

I knew this would be a powerful post and you would probably break all type of records for getting those +1's.  I didn't have a lot of time to fully compliment you the other night when I wrote.  There were just too many ideas going through my.  So much so that I included your entire post in my response.  I apologize for that oversight and I've corrected it.  ShowMeHow was good enough to show me the 'evil of my ways' via PM.

First and foremost, THIS IS YOUR WORK!  But, I believe it has so much potential that it is worth a bit of contructive criticism.  I know that others have already contributed some ideas that you incorporated.  I believe that this post is so valuable that we need to keep it alive as "living and breathing creature."  I would hope that more and more people could add value to it.  This is your MONSTER and the final decision is always your!!!  But, in my humble effort to add value to it, I've sliced just a top portion and you can use it as you wish.  In other words, I'm offered some edits.  If you think they improve it... feel free to use them.

INTRODUCTION

The Acme People Search business, or APS, as commonly referred to in our Forum, had its humble beginning in early 2008. This was the the first time it was released to the public, but it actually took 10-years to develop. Tissa Godavitarne, the owner and creator of this business began his afflilate marketing career 10-years ago.  Inspired by his inability to "hold a real job" (his words, not mine) he ventured into affiliate or Internet marketing.  Gifted with a no-nonsense business management style and determination, he is now a huge success in the World of Affiliate Marketing. 

(For more information on Tissa's success in affiliate marketing and on APS, please refer to the Presell Page available in your back office)

Now, he unselfishly shares his success with APS with a determination to "pay it forword" to his affiliate members.


THE APS BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The APS Business is segmented in two programs:
   1.  A Free Pre-Built "People Search" Search  Engine with 5 Income Streams
   2.  A Business Building Affiliate Referral System with 4 Income Streams

As I mentioned above Rod, I'm just trying to help by doing a little bit of editing.

...Hope it Helps,

Rick

Hi Rick smile

Your introduction is a lot more better that mine, that is more enhanced, comprehensive and more appealing. I wouldn't think twice to edit my introduction and replace it with yours. Anyway, it was an enhancement of my introduction. It really is a constructive criticism from you and im pleased to replace mine. And i acknowledge that You, Milton, Giap, Mike O, The Trio in Vegas (Brett, Chris & Mary) and more others, are the great minds here in APS Forum, everybody just know that smile

It is my honor that you have acknowledged with good criticism my post, and i wouldn't hesitate to make any adjustment / update based on your inputs. Afterall, all helpful topics in placed therein which were created by SS and some others, make that post of mine everybody's work. As i said, it wouldn't be made possible without everybody's helpful topics.

Thank you so much Rick. Your suggestion is much much appreciated! Reciprocating +1
Off now to updating Our Beginner's Guide smile

Hi Rod,

I didn't realise until today that I actually haven't commented on this awesome and  comprehensive masterpiece of yours.:(

What else can i say? Bravo!:)

I hope that you keep updating it to keep it current because my next wish would be that it be sticky and that it be never be taken off this forum.:)

Why?  Because I intend to include a link in my autoresponders to this very link of yours.  If ever it is taken off due to cleaning up of posts, then i would have to re-construct what you have so painstakingly put together.:)

Bro, it seems like you have succesfully compiled a USER"S MANUAL, with all the users here as editors, making the final product so useful.:)

This post in particular is not one you will read once.  For all of us, who are still trying to learn our way around here, this is really a helpful resource.  It is obvious that you hve put so much effort and heart into this. please know that it is appreciated.

Hey Rod,

There are no "great minds" here at the Forum, but there are great people.  And, you sit on top of that list my friend!!

I appreciate the difficulty I had with the languages I studied in the past.  I understand that this is a worldwide business with many overlapping cultures and languages.  I'm lucky!  I happen to speak the language that is most communicated on the Internet. 

I just wanted to pass forth some value to you!  Maybe, to help YOU do even better than you had already done... because of the hard work, time and effort you put into this post.  The amazing thing to me is that you have "more than enough character" to accept it for what it was.  ... just some ideas for you to use or not use. 

Maybe this post will also prove to the world just how strong our community is!!!  I'm proud to be on your team.

All the Best,

Rick

Re: APS Business Complete Beginner's Guide - Updated Aug.14

Rod,

Outstanding post. We have been in need of a post like this for a long, long time, and you have finally created one that satisfies the requirements of the "complete beginner's guide to APS". Major kudos, friend.

+1. Really, worthy of a 'required reading' sticky and +5 helpful points from me.
