It's been a while since I wrote a review of the
Plug-In Profit Site. If you are thinking of signing up for a Plug-In Profit site you may have a few questions. Here is an up to date review of PIPS in FAQ form to help you decide.
Q. So What exactly is the Plug-In Profit Site then?A. The Plug-In Profit site is the creation of
Stone Evans and is a fully functioning website promoting 6 different affiliate programs/business opportunities. It also includes an ezine. Visitors to the website can sign up to the ezine and will receive follow up messages and articles every few days for 400 days.
Q. Which Affiliate Programs are promoted by the Plug-In Profit site?The
Plug-In Profit Site includes Empowerism, Strong Future International (SFI), Hostgator, My World Plus and Global Domains International (GDI).
Q. Do I have to sign up for all of the affiliate programs on the signup page?No. You can join a subset of them as you wish. If you do this, your site will still contain links to these affiliate programs but you can remove them if you have no plans to sign up to these in the future. You must hoever, get your hosting from Hostgator.
Q. How much does it cost?There is an initial cost and a monthly cost.
The initial minimum cost is around $10 (per year) for your domain name and less than $10 for your first month of hosting.
The monthly minimum cost is under $10 per month for your Hosting.
There are also some optional costs - if you decide to join Empowerism the cost is $29.95 initially then $19.95 per month. As mentioned before this is optional and you do not have to subscribe to this from the beginning. You can change your mind in the future at any time. You can also optionally join My World Plus for $69.96 and then $19.95 per month and/or GDI for a 7 day free trial and then $10 per month.
Q. Am I tied in to some sort of contract? What if I want to cancel?There is no contract. if you decide that it's not for you you can cancel immediately and you won't be charged the following month. Some of the programs within the Plug-In profit site also have a refund option e.g. Host4Profit.
Q. Can I modify my Plug-In Profit site?A. Yes, you can modify your site as long as you have a basic understanding of HTML or are able to use a website editor. It's 100% yours to change as you wish. Remove any links or banners you don't like, add new ones, create extra pages, change the color or get a complete redesign. If you don't want to make changes yourself you can get someone to make changes for you at
Website Update Services or
PIP Site HelpQ. How much money will I make?This varies from person to person and depends on how much effort you are willing to put into it. If you do nothing to promote your site it will not be likely to make money. Personally I was in profit after 4-5 months and after 2 years my online income was sufficient for me to start working part time. In May 2007 I quit my day job.
Q. Is there any sort of training?A. Yes - the Plug-In Profit site has a guide written by Stone Evans called 30 days to Success. This is a day by day guide to what you need to do to promote your website. There is also an excellent online members forum where you can get your questions answered and interact with other members. There is a fantastic full time support director, Patricia, who can answer your questions via the support help desk. I also provide personal training for everyone in my downline. This consists of email training and help via email, MSN messenger or Skype.
If you want to be mentored there is also the option of joining the
PIPS Power Group.
Q. Is the Plug-In Profit site for everyone?A. No, it isn't for everyone. Here are a few reasons why you may not want to have a Plug-In Profit site:
a) If you cannot afford at least $10 per month (for your hosting)
b) If you cannot spare a few hours each week to promote your site
c) If you do not have a credit card or access to PayPal.
d) If you need instant gratification i.e. profit within a few weeks rather than a few months
e) If you have something against Multi-level Marketing (MLM) programs
Q. Is the Plug-In Profit Site a pyramid scheme?A. No. A pyramid scheme typically is a program which as no products. People pay to join, but receive nothing in return and only the people at the top of the "Pyramid" benefit. All the affiliate programs within the Plug-In Profit site are carefully screened and tried out before they are added and they all have products. For example SFI has vitamins, magazines, cleaning products and hosting. Empowerism has a monthly magazine, web templates,
SEO tools and marketing training, My World Plus has a discount card and Hostgator provide web hosting.
Q. Do I need any prior knowledge to be Successful?A. No. Prior knowledge is not necessary. As long as you have some basic computer skills you can learn what you need to know as you go along. When I started back in May 2004 I knew nothing at all about website marketing. I basically just learned as I went along. Now, this is what I do full time, from home.
Do I need to spend money on Advertising?A. No. There are lots of effective free methods that you can use to promote your website e.g. article marketing, directory submission, forum marketing and more.
