The Plug-in Profit site is how I got started online way back in 2004. At that time I was an internet marketing novice and didn't really have a clue what I was doing. I was what you would call a "newbie", just looking for a way to start an online business without the slightest idea of how easy or how hard it would be. Four years on, I am a bit older and a bit wiser and I have become one of the lucky ones, earning enough online to leave my job and start working full time from home.
So the questions that this article will be addressing are "is the Plug-In Profit Site right for you" and "what are the positives and negatives of this opportunity". While this was an ideal opportunity for me to get started with I realize 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 and then go on to explain what the positives and negatives are.
In a nutshell the Plug-In Profit Site is a internet business website created by Stone Evans, promoting six different home business programs. At the time of writing these are SFI, Empowerism, Traffic Swarm, Success University, Maximum Paid Surveys and Host4Profit. The site is free as long as you host on Host4Profit and you can choose whether to join all six programs or just a subset of them. Some of the programs are free and others charge a fee. When you sign up for a Plug-In Profit site you receive a website ready to take orders, a 400 day autoresponder sequence to follow up to your visitors, plus access to a support help desk, an online forum and step by step training.
Advantages
- Recurring Income - all the opportunities promoted on the Plug-In Profit Site pay residual income which means that every time you make a sale you will receive commissions each and 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 that customer remains with Host4Profit.
- Website up and Running 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.
- Customizable Site - as long as you know some HTML or are able to use a free web page editor you can make changes to your website. This could include adding new programs or removing ones you don't like, adding an introduction or photo or adding some new web pages. Alternatively there are affordable services available from various people to enhance your website e.g. by changing the color, adding new pages or optimizing it for the search engines.
- Excellent Support Infrastructure - As well as a 30 day training guide which explains how to start making money from your site there is also a great support forum and a dedicated help desk. If it is one on one mentoring you are after then the PIPS Power Group can provide online coaching at an affordable price.
Disadvantages
- 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 disadvantage but many people are against MLMs so I have included this here.
- Not a get rich quick scheme. Unless you are an established marketer with a high traffic website or a list, you are unlikely to make money in the first few days or weeks. There is a learning curve and you will have to advertising your site
- 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 to make changes to your website. Alternatively there are reasonably priced services to do this, but if you are unwilling to do either of these it will be hard to be successful with a cookie cutter site.
- There is a monthly cost - although the site will be built for you for free, the minimum running cost at this time is $15 a year plus $24.95 per month for hosting. If money is tight or you can barely afford to live then you need to find a job rather than start a business.
These are the main advantages and disadvantages of the Plug-In Profit site. Hopefully this balanced review will help you to decide whether or not is it the right choice for you.. As with all home businesses you must be motivated and persistent to be a success.
