Plug and Profit Review

Plug and Profit Review

I have been a member of the Plug and Profit team for about 6 months now. I use the word team loosely here because this is a stand alone business, you the owner run the business, and you alone make decisions for it. As a business anyone can succeed with this system and it gets you off to a great start by building your initial website for you, and yes it is done in 24 hours.

Your Website
The initial website that you get is the same that everyone gets, all the same links, banners, and articles. However, it is very clean looking and has great appeal to customers. As you know with as many Plug and Profit sites out there you need to stand out and be unique to gain targeted prospects. In the 30 day training that Stone gives you there is many upgrades that he suggests to improve your website or gain visitors, I call this hidden costs. However, you make the decision what to buy and how you will proceed. Many of these upgrades are affordable but it will add up fast. I choose to learn html to upgrade my own site and keep the cost down. Which I might add was a slow process, but it was my business. One thing, I have to add here is the links you choose initially to sign up for the website. Stone has put several on the sales page which will change from time to time. I suggest you only sign up for what you feel comfortable with, You have to sign up for the hosting and if you are on a tight budget I would sign up for SFI its free to sign up and yes you can make money with the free side but there is a upgrade which is worth it. Like I said sign up to be a affiliate for the companies you want and feel comfortable with.
Like I said this is a review and I would be remiss in not telling you the down side. As I said before the site is very generic and will need some customization to obtain the results business owners need. The 30 day training hits on this a little but suggests you connect with the PIPs support to gain custom looks if you can afford them its worth it the work is done fast, but the costs add up. I suggest if you decide to use the support team upgrade every 3 months or so. That way Google will see changes on a regular basis which is great for the search engines. On that topic, the key words for the site are the same for everybody which creates great competition for you on the internet and the search engines. This is not explained in the training and you should change the key words I found this easy to do but it took a while to learn, but I'm older and not used to the internet and html. Everyones learning curve is different. So its a lot more work than you thought it was when you first signed up, hidden costs, more work but if you really want a business and you work it you will succeed.

The Free 30 Day Training
Well, I was surprised to find a full 30 days of training packed full of information to use how I liked meaning whether to use it or not. It however, kept me busy learning about the system and how to market online. It was very easy to find ways to market my site for free searching the internet for similiar activities to use. I did however, took advantage of some of the upgrades like the getresponse autoresponder I found it affordable and easy to use. Part of the training you get is the autoresponder which is meant for a beginner and Stone gives you a years worth of emails for your site. The training is filled with items to use for free like the newbie training videos and doctomology ebook these are both great and filled with useful information.
However, I know I have stated this before the training is the same for everyone and the suggestions Stone gives you to advertise your site are the same as well. I would advise you to check out the internet for different areas to advertise. Take ezine advertisement, Stone makes several suggestions on where to advertise and shows you how to advertisement step by step. Don't make this mistake, many people who start out do this you will have lots of competition with the same advertisement. Look for different ezine sites to advertise in or develop you own ad, you will much better luck.

Summary of Article
The Plug and Profit sites are a good way to get started in business on line and has the potential to make you a good income source. However, like I have stated earlier there are many downfalls to the program. If you are dedicated to make a business work and work, learn, and don't give up this is a business that will work for you. However, you must put yourself out there to learn the ins and outs of the internet marketing
