Advantages and Disadvantages of the Plug-In Profit Site Program
by Suzanne Morrison

The Plug-In Profit Site is a popular business opportunity and over 20,000 people have joined over the last 5 years or so. I was one of these people, hungry to make money online but with no idea how to do it.

Four years on, I am a bit older and a bit wiser and I have become one of the lucky few who is earning enough online to quit my job and start working full time in my pajamas.

If you are wondering "is the Plug-In Profit Site right for me?" or "what are the pros and cons of this opportunity?" then this article should help answer your questions.

While this was the perfect opportunity for me to get started with, I do recognize that everyone is different and what worked for me won't necessarily work for you. To help you get a better understanding of this opportunity I will start by summarising what it is all about and then go on to explain what the advantages and disadvantages are.

In a nutshell the Plug-In Profit Site is a home based business opportunities website created by Stone Evans, promoting five different home business programs. At the time of writing these are Host4Profit, Success University, Strong Future International (SFI).

The site is free as long as you host on Host4Profit and you can choose whether to join all five programs or just a subset of them. Some of the opportunities are free to join whilst others charge a fee.

When you apply for a Plug-In Profit Site you will receive a home business website, a series of autoresponder messages to follow up on your subscribers, access to a helpdesk and a member support forum plus a "30 days to success" training guide.

Advantages of the Plug-In Profit Site

(1) Residual Income - all the programs promoted on the Plug-In Profit Site pay residual income which means that by making one sale you can receive a commission every month. An example of this is Host4Profit hosting, which pays $10 commission per month for every customer you sign up, for as long as they remain with Host4Profit.

(2) Website Built within 24hrs - as long as you submit all your information correctly you will receive your website within 24hrs or less. Normally when you build a website there is a long period of research and it takes a lot of time and effort or money to built the site. With the Plug-In Profit site you can get started promoting your site straight away without having to worry about this.

(3) Customizable Site - as long as you know some HTML or are able to use a free website editor such as NVU you can make changes to your website. This could include adding or removing programs, adding an introduction or photo or adding new pages. Alternatively there are affordable services available from various people to enhance your website e.g. by changing the color, adding new pages and products or optimizing it.

(4) Top Notch Support Network - you will receive a day by day training guide, access to a members support forum and a support helpdesk. If it is one on one mentoring you are after then a group caled PIPS Power Group can provide online coaching at an affordable price.

Disadvantages of the Plug-In Profit Site

(1) Many of the programs within the Plug-In profit Site are MLMs (Multi Level Marketing Programs) which means that you will earn a proportion of the commissions for every person that signs up under you. I personally don't see this as a problem but many people do not like MLMs so I have included this as a disadvantage.

(2) You are not going to make money overnight. Unless you are an experienced internet marketer with a well established website or a big list it is unlikely that you will make money overnight or within the first few weeks. There is a learning curve and you will have to spend some time and effort promoting your website.

(3) Some technical knowledge required to change your website - although your website is fully customizable you do need to either learn some basic HTML OR use a web page editor like NVU to make changes to your website. You also have the option of paying someone to make changes to your webiste. If you do not want to make any changes yourself or pay to have someone make changes it will be more difficult to have success with this website.

(4) It is not free - although the site will be built for you for free, the minimum running cost is $15 a year plus $24.95 per month for hosting. If money is tight and you can barely afford to live then this is not for you.

These are the main advantages and disadvantages of the Plug-In Profit site. I hope this balanced review of the Plug-In Profit Site will help you to decide whether this is the right business opportunity for you.

5 Ways to Improve Your Clickbank Earnings

11 comments
Many people have emailed me recently asking how they can improve their Clickbank Earnings. Clickbank is a great way to make money online because:

(1) It is free to join
(2) The commissions are high - typically 50% but often as much as 75%
(3) There are thousands of products to promote in many different niches

I currently earn over $3000 from Clickbank alone each month and I aim to grow that figure every month.

I am going to share some methods that I currently use to promote Clickbank products. Hopefully you can use some of these tips to help you start earning or increase your Clickbank earnings.

Here are 5 Ways to Improve Your Clickbank Earnings.

(1) Review Products on your website or blog - this is the best way to increase your Clickbank earnings. If you have been involved in internet marketing for any length of time you must have bought one or two products yourself. Write a short, but honest review of the product including an overview of the main features and what you liked and disliked about it. If you include the words "review" and the name of the product in your page or blog title and mention it a few times throughout the page or post there is a good chance people will find your review when searching in the search engines. If you include your Clickbank hoplink and an image of the product there is a good chance that people will buy from you.

(2) Research the Clickbank Marketplace - spend some time on the Clickbank website looking at the products that are available to you. Take a note of your clickbank hoplink for the best selling products in different categories e.g. find the best Paid Surveys product, the best Make Money Ebook, the best Data Entry product, the best keyword research or SEO software and so on. You can recommend these products on your website or blog and also have the links handy to pass on to anyone who asks for a recommendation in an email or a form.

(3) Promote Products to Your List - If you already have an autoresponder series consider adding some promotional letters to your series, or occassional promotional broadcasts. If you visit the pitch page (sales page) for the procuct that you are promoting you will often find that the vendor already has a letter that you can use. If not you could send a review of the product to your list, or you could purchase something like the Clickbank Profit Pack which is a set of prewritten letters for lots of different Clickbank products, all ready to insert into your autoresponder.

(4) Add More Clickbank Products to your Website or Blog - every time you add a new page or make a blog post try to find a Clickbank product that is related to the article that you have just written. This can often be far more effective than just cramming lots and lots of irrelevant product recommendations on to a single page. If you are a Plug-In Profit Site owner you may be interested to know that my Content Update Service adds over 20 new pages to your website and includes over 30 different Clickbank products including ebooks, software, surveys and work from home jobs.

(5) Article Marketing - another great way to increase your Clickbank earnings is by writing an article and then advertising a related Clickbank product in the author resource box. This technique is free to do and very effective. Most article directories will allow an affiliate link in the resource box, but for those that do not you could link to a page on your website or a blog post featuring the product.

Hope these tips help you and if you have a tip of your own please post a comment!
