I maintain my own mailing list for providing direct and personal support to my downlines. Please confirm on the link below to confirm your subscription to my support list: %%MainSiteURL%%/activate.php?s=%%SubscriberId%% Don't forget to complete all three steps for setting up your search engine! To our success Sincerely, %%FirstName%% ************************************* Send After: 2 Subject: Hello %%SubscriberFirstName%%, Your BIG Introduction HTML Message: %%FirstName%% here, By now you've had some time to poke around the back office of your Acme People Search search engine and learn about how APS provides value to you at no cost. Hopefully, you've already completed Step One - Affiliatize, but if you haven't, I urge you to do so. Why is it so important to at least do Step One? Two simple reasons: 1. It doesn't cost you any money. 2. If you don't, you won't MAKE any money! That's right, the affiliate links that you create by complete Step One are the beginnings of your search engine income streams. If you don't take the effort to complete this step, you might as well cancel your account. The engine alone will do nothing for you...it'll be all my links! So take the half hour or so that is required to get signed up with ClickBank and HD Publishing. As of this writing, MyLIfe is not accepting new affiliate applications. The folks at Acme are working hard to find an alternative to MyLife, and we're promised an update (if not a solution) soon. Then hit the forum. The forum is a HUGE resource for people starting out. Visit there early and often to get ideas about how others are promoting their strategies. People all over the world are working hard and learning as they go, and they share that knowledge online. So make the most of their knowledge to jump start your own career as a search engine mogul.

I am here to help you succeed with ACME People Search! HTML Message: Hey %%SubscriberFirstName%%, %%FirstName%% here again to talk about something very important to your success at Acme People Search. Step One has come and gone, and it was painless. Now you're on the shoreline, looking out at the waves, maybe letting them tickle your toes... So far your search engine has not cost you a penny. At this point, if all you ever want to do is refer people to the search engine and learn other methods of marketing your affiliate products, then anything you ever make will be pure profit. If you drive hundreds of people to your site in a month, the lead generation and commissions can make you some money. If you can create a consistent flow of people to your search engine, then you will see some rewards come your way. The forum will help you do this, and it is also free. Now, you want to improve your income, right? The way to do that is having your search engine on your own domain. It lets you have the following advantages: 1. You have the whole control of your site 2. You can access to the customization code to brand your own search engine 3. You can link your own wordpress blog to your search engine 4. You can add other ads to your search engine 5. You have access to the presell page All these advantages help you to brand yourself, to send more traffic to your search engine and to improve your income. You get these advantages by completing Step Two. But Step Two costs some money. It varies from $7.95-$9.95 per month for a "Baby Plan" HostGator shared account plus $10-$15 per year for your domain name, or $10 per month for GDI (including your domain name). Remember, this is a real business and you should try it accordingly. Any business needs time to learn and money to invest. Luckily, contrary to any brick and mortar business, APS does not require you to invest hundreds of dollars. $10 a month is not a big fortune and you can get a search engine with all the advantages I mentioned above. If you've already signed up for hosting from either GDI or HostGator, hooray! You're the proud owner of your own domain name and your own hosted search solution. As always, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. To our success, %%FirstName%% ************************************* Send After: 2 Subject: Promoting Responsibly HTML Message: Hey %%SubscriberFirstName%%, Just a quick note about professionalism. Hopefully your trip to the forums (you did visit, right?) impressed upon you the quality and integrity of the APS community. It's really something special. But the community's reputation depends upon the constant vigilance of its participants, and especially its Super Sponsors. Being an informed and intelligent source of professional, moral advice is what being a Super Sponsor is all about. So to that end, I'd like you to take a look at the Federal Trade Commission Endorsement Guidelines. Click on the following link; if you can't, just copy-paste to your browser address. http://www.ftc.gov/multimedia/video/business/endorsement-guides.shtm In a nutshell, responsible marketing isn't just a good idea, it's the law. There are lots of ways to talk about the value of a business without making outrageous claims. Read the guidelines carefully. Keep them under your pillow. When in doubt, over-comply. I'd also like to remind you to pay close attention to the terms of service of the various affiliate programs built into APS. Know what's allowed in each program, and what isn't. This is too good an opportunity to screw up. Read the rules. Be professional. Until next time, %%FirstName%% ************************************* Send After: 2 Subject: Step 3 Intro HTML Message: Hey %%SubscriberFirstName%%, I hope you've taken my last email to heart. Being a Super Sponsor in this business has never been better. In 2010, Tissa is adding a $100 payment per month for Super Sponsors, above and beyond reimbursing your program fees. As he says, that's a $100 advertising budget, or else a nice chunk of beer money. That wasn't the only change in 2009. In fact, if I were you I'd pay close attention to this post in the forums: http://acme-people-search-forum.com/post/5/#p5 That is a massive list of improvements to the program. I wanted to point out the way Step 3 now works, as the improvements are buried in that gigantic list of improvements. You now receive residual commissions from your Step 3 signups every month that they pay their Step 3 fee. The commission rate is currently 15%, which works out to $4.50 per Step 3 signup. I always like to know my break-even point. In this case it's seven. If you have seven active referrals at Step 3, your own Step 3 payment is covered by your residual income each month. Why would you want to work hard to get Step 3 paid for? Because Step 3 is awesome. When you're subscribed to Step 3, you UNLOCK all Income Streams, that means you can earn commissions from the income streams related to the business opportunity: 1. You get the benefit of Tissa's GDI "Secret Sauce" - you can build a substantial GDI downline using the Secret Sauce ingredients, because it puts the power of the APS recruitment process to work encouraging people to sign up for GDI. You can place your GDI signups into a forced matrix, or else force GDI hosting as the initial option for your referrals at Step 2. Or you can bounce back and forth between the two, working on width and depth as needed. 2. You become eligible to have your Super Affiliate Switch flipped. Super Affiliates make the maximum published commission amount ($125) for each and every HostGator signup, because they get to piggyback on Tissa's referral volume. So any referrals who select HostGator at Step 2 will make you $125 (assuming, of course, that the referral meets HostGator's standards for a qualified referral). 3. Access to join GVO and use their marketing tools (e.g. eResponder, the one I am using right now to send you these emails automatically) and input your affiliate id for GVO so others joining will build your GVO downline 4. Earn referral fees with residual income from APS 5. $125 on your APS account as bonus paid when you have learnt how to earn at least $75. If you know how to earn $75, you will be able to earn $750, $7500 or more. It just takes longer. I cannot understate the importance of these features as you begin to consider your long-term earning potential with Acme People Search. All of them are focused on building a profitable and sustainable business. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the benefits listed above. As always, I'm available for questions, on the forum, sending a Private Message or an email. Cheers! %%FirstName%% P.S. - Step 3 is always free for the first 30 days, whether you sign up with TrialPay or using PayPal. Just give a try, you have NOTHING at all to lose and a lot to win. ************************************* Send After: 2 Subject: More about Step 3 HTML Message: Hey %%SubscriberFirstName%%, I hope my last email wasn't too overwhelming! I know that there was a lot of information to digest there, and I hope that you found some value in the strategy. I wanted to get back to the program a bit and talk about Step 3. As you know, I'm a huge advocate of only paying for what you can afford in this program. APS is not about leeching your money away while you struggle. It's about everyone making money together. Step 3 is hard. It's a big step. I like to think that it's ten espresso drinks per month that I don't get to drink. But it's also a psychological commitment - all of a sudden, you have skin in the game. If you chose HostGator in Step 2, you can use that account for a million purposes that are not APS. You can develop a marketing empire based just on HostGator commissions, or just based on developing your GDI downline. Step 3 is all about APS - it's about maximizing the impact your efforts have within the APS business. If Step 2 was a first date, Step 3 is shopping for a ring. I'm not that interested in hearing excuses about the cost of Step 3. Like I said, it's ten trips to Starbucks or one trip to the bookstore. But as I said, this is a real business and we better try it accordingly. If you do not go for step 3 you are going to be leaving money on the table, just because you won’t be able to generate commissions due to the four last streams: GDI • Hostgator • GVO • Referrals; although I can understand if you're not quite ready to commit. For those of you who are ready to take this business seriously and put the system to work for you, it's time to try Step 3. Remember, it's free for 30 days, whether you sign up with TrialPay or Paypal. Take some time after you sign up to explore the GDI options, revel in the increased display rate of your affiliate IDs, and generally kick the tires. Cheers! %%FirstName%% ************************************* Send After: 2 Subject: You've completed all three steps. Now what? HTML Message: Hey %%SubscriberFirstName%%, So you have completed Step 3 and want to know what is next, right? Well I asked the same question when I was there, in fact that question is quite obvious. We now want to know what APS is all about. As I stated in a previous email that with step 3 you can earn commissions from the income streams related to the business opportunity. Well to take advantage of it we need to learn what APS is. There are a couple of things I'd like you read: 1. FAQs. You can find them through the link on your APS back office. Reading all of them you will get important knowledge about APS business 2. There is a complete guide for beginners at the forum. Just click on this link. If you cannot click on this link just copy-paste to your address browser. http://acme-people-search-forum.com/topic/9116/aps-business-complete-beginners-guide-updated-jan-25/ Once you have read these two things, you need how to Market, Advertise and Promote your business, we call it how to MAP APS business. At the forum alone, you will find a lot of free stuff where you will learn how to MAP APS. Here you will find the section at the forum to learn Free Advertising Methods: http://acme-people-search-forum.com/forum/21/free-advertising-methods-article-marketing-seo/ There are another way to MAP APS, and it is through Paid Advertising Methods. I do not recommend it yet for two reasons: 1. It is very expensive if you do not know how to do it, so learning it is quite expensive 2. Even if the money were not an issue for you, I do not recommend it neither, because of the Google penalization. If you do not make your site to have high page rank, Google will ban your site. So, the best way is first send traffic to your site through the Free Advertising Methods, and later continue with the Paid Advertising Methods. You can find an excellent post about this here: http://acme-people-search-forum.com/topic/7479/how-to-avoid-the-wrath-of-google/ %%SubscriberFirstName%%, hope I have given you a good guidance about what APS is. Rest to say welcome aboard to this wonderful and exciting journey to Financial Freedom thanks to APS Business. I always like saying that APS should not be your final aim, this is only the beginning. APS is a school about Internet Marketing. Once you learn how to MAP APS, the same techniques are needed to promote more products. There are tremendous opportunities out there waiting for us.
