Folks, something big is in the works!? As everyone is aware, a new offline advertising package and PPCall model is being added to ACME People Search (check your back office for details).? I've been on enough Webinars and know Tissa well enough to sense that there is something really big over the horizon.? Tissa lets a lot slip during the Webinars if you know how to read between the lines.? One key piece that I picked up on today was when Tissa mentioned that the new PPCall model will probably will be spun-off in the future.? When I asked Tissa what he had brewing he completely misunderstood my question (or pretended not to understand it).? ? Anyways, here's what I think is up: First, when Tissa says the offline co-op is closing on March 31st he's not joking.? Yes, we all know creating a deadline is an effective marketing strategy, but I'm 100% convinced Tissa is dead serious.? This is it.? Get in now or wait until the summer is over (ads won't run until June) and the data is analyzed to get in on the next possible ad co-op.? There will be no guarantee that the price will be the same or if the PPCall model will even be available again within APS.? If this gets spun-off it probably means Tissa is taking the infrastructure he's building now and expanding it to other markets (his own affiliate network???).? If this is indeed being spun-off it's either going to cost you additional money in the future or the door might not even be open.? One thing that a lot of affiliate networks are doing now is screening applicants better.? They are taking quality over quantity because they know a lot of people never take action.? For example, eBay's Partner Network (which is awesome by the way) used to accept everyone, but now if you want to join your website will be manually reviewed under strict guidelines.? Same with most of the CPA networks.? If you want to join one be prepared to get on the phone with an affiliate manager. This will especially apply to the PPCall model because affiliate networks aren't going to hand out phone numbers and bear the expense unless the affiliate who receives these numbers produces.? PPCall is very expensive to run when you factor in the technology, 24/7 call centers and the toll-free phone numbers. Second, no way Tissa is coming close to making a profit this first round!? As mentioned, building the PPCall infrastructure is just too expensive plus the cost of producing and running T.V., radio and print ads.? Just like the overpriced GVO Beamer Tissa purchased, here's your opportunity to make Tissa's initial loss your immediate gain.? When you consider the offline advertising we'll receive plus our own unique toll-free phone number with unlimited extensions at the same Step 3 subscription cost (annual subscription being the only requirement) this is one hell of a bargain.? Heck, you can't even get a toll free number for this money! Step 3 already provides crazy value just by itself; this is icing on the cake.? Anyone who is considering this, if you can afford it don't pass this opportunity up!? As I said, take advantage of Tissa's initial losses.? The numbers don't add up right now; there has to be a bigger picture here.? Tissa has the money and the time horizon to make these big investments without worrying too much about profiting right away, but he's no fool.? At some point down the road he has to recover his investment and profit. Now what exactly is brewing?? Who knows, but Tissa also said today that's he wants to transition his personal advertising (APS and everything else he promotes) from online pay-per-click to offline pay-per-call and he's building the PPCall infrastructure for himself as much as for the APS community.? Folks, we're talking a lot of pay-per-click advertising money that needs to find a new home.? Tissa has been promoting affiliate products for 10 years so I'm guessing he's taking those successful products with him on this adventure.? ?Will these additional incomes streams become available to us?? Only time will tell.? In the meantime, start paying close attention during the Webinars and start prodding and poking Tissa every chance you get.? Also, make sure you position yourself to profit from what's going on behind the scenes.? Ride Tissa's coattails to the bank!? When you have a chance listen closely to today's Webinar and read between the lines.? Something is up!? -Chris
