Having been in this business for almost 2 years now, it’s sometimes easy to take for granted that people just now joining will know how to make money with ACME People Search (APS). And I know that a lot of people make that mistake and don’t really help their referrals out as well as they probably should.

But one way that we have overcome that is with the Support Forum that we have at APS that contains a wealth of information about how the business works and how one can succeed. The Support Forum is a great resource and everyone who becomes an affiliate of APS needs to visit the Forum often.

But, even though the Support Forum is a great resource to learn about the business, because of the success of APS and the growth we have seen over the past year, the Forum has grown as well. And sometimes delving into the topics and thousands of posts can be complicated as well unless one knows where to look.

So I thought today that I would point you to a post on the Forum that really is a good Beginner’s Guide to ACME People Search and how one makes money with it. In a nutshell, the post will explain the 2 sides to APS, the people search engine and the business opportunity.

After you review the post I believe you will have a better overall understanding of the business.

One of the toughest things to learn when first starting an online affiliate business is how to MAP (Market, Advertise, and Promote), so people often ask for an advertising coop for the business they are promoting. They would rather turn the advertising over to professionals who know how to get targeted traffic to their website, instead of taking on that responsibility themselves.

There are a couple of drawbacks to that approach:

• The first is that most coops end up being ineffective because there are too many people who join and the advertising becomes dilluted.
• Relying on other people to do the advertising prevents the person from learning the skills necessary to be successful themselves.
• Joining the coop adds another expense to the bottom line and cuts into the profit margin.

But ACME has created a coop that hopes to solve all of these issues.

You can read more about it at the ACME People Search Biz Website.

There’s a scene in Mel Brook’s comedy classic “Young Frankenstein” where Gene Wilder, playing Frederick Frankenstein, looks for the private study of his grandfather Victor who created the “monster”.  He wants to find the private notes of how his grandfather brought lifeless tissue from various human bodies back to life. And lo and behold, there on his grandfather’s desk, is a book and the title of the book is “How I Did It”.

I laugh every time I think about that scene.

But the title really gets to the point doesn’t it? And when it comes to internet marketing, people who are just starting out want to know how those people who are successful in the business are doing it.

And let’s face it, many times some of these well known internet marketers are eager to sell you their latest and greatest product to help you make money online. But after you buy, they don’t seem so anxious to explain how you are supposed to use that product are they? And the truth is in many cases, those internet marketers make their money by selling their product, not by using the product they sell.

That’s not the way it works with ACME People Search.

Tissa Godavitarne, the owner of APS, actually uses his own business that he offers to you to generate income for himself. And that’s the power of the APS business model. It is fully duplicatable. Just as Tissa does it, YOU can do it!

Let’s take GDI (Global Domains International) as an example. GDI is one of the income streams built into the APS business platform. If you’ve followed GDI for any period of time then you may be familiar with Tissa. But regardless, the fact is that Tissa has been at the top of the GDI Leaderboard since he joined GDI in August, 2008 and made it a part of APS.

But here’s the important thing. Other APS affiliates appear on the GDI Leaderboard each and every week as well!

And what that means is that the APS business model can be and is duplicated by others every single day. APS affiliates are making money online with GDI and they do it by using APS. And you can do it too.

All you have to do is follow the 3 easy steps:

1. Sign up with APS and create your free APS website in Step 1.
2. Sign up with GDI in Step 2 (cost $10)
3. Sign up for the Premium membership in Step 3 (cost $29.95 with a free 30 day trial).

By duplicating these steps and then learning how to market, advertise, and promote you can be on your way to appearing on the GDI Leaderboard like many other APS affiliates and finally making money online.

And remember, GDI is just 1 of 12 income streams that APS has built into the platform. There are multiple ways to earn with APS.

So join ACME People Search today. And then you can write your own success book about “How I Did It” and help others achieve success as well.

If you haven’t followed the February contest at GVO, then you missed out on a tremendous opportunity to make some extra money for yourself.

For every referral to GVO who signed up with GVO using Tissa’s referral link, Tissa is going to pay his affiliates $250.00 and they get to share in the pool of money that is going to be earned from selling the car. Some affiliates signed up more than 20 referrals! That’s $5000 in commissions if they all sign up for at least a month and if Tissa wins the car.

The contest ended at Midnight Central time last night, but we won’t know the official winner until Mid March. But, as of last night, Tissa was at the top!

This just goes to prove what a powerful community of users we have at ACME People Search. When Tissa calls on the troops, they tend to listen and they certainly put their best efforts into winning this contest.

Tissa is more than likely going to lose money on this venture. If he wins the contest he has promised to pay everyone $250 for every GVO referral they sent him. Plus part of the money pool. If, for some reason, he doesn’t win the contest, he has promised to reimburse everyone for their 1st month’s subscription to GVO. There are hundreds of people who signed up.

But here’s the point. It was never about the car, or the money for Tissa.

This entire contest was about APS, and receiving the publicity that comes about for winning the contest. It was about having fun and using this contest to benefit the APS affiliates who are working the business.

Tissa is looking long-term here and realizes how invaluable this contest can be for providing great marketing, advertising, and promotion for all the APS affiliates.

Just as APS gets lots of publicity because of the GDI Leaderboard, which many APS affiliates show up on every week, the GVO BMW contest can be used to once again demonstrate that APS works, and it works well.

So, if you ever really wanted to learn how to make money online then you need to check out the ACME People Search Business. We have proof positive that our business works. Do those other businesses out that have that?
