PeopleString, Paying Off and Big News Soon!

I joined PeopleString somewhat half-heartedly but, I now find myself hopelessly hooked on the silly games and the money that I am earning while having a great time.  So far, I am surprised at the potential I see in this FREE program and the fact that I am logged into the site for about 15+ hours each day!


To recap, I have now been an active member of PeopleString for a little over 60 days.  My reasons for joining were more specifically to make valuable contacts and turn them into prospects and then referrals.  So far, I have had mild success with a few sign ups into my other programs, but the nice thing about it is that I have not asked for a single one.  The sign ups came from people who simply visited my profile.

The screenshot I am including shows my current PeopleString earnings at around $27.  A payment for that amount will be issued sometime in the next 7-10 days and that will be my first actual payment from PeopleString.  Remember, this was money that I earned by simply changing my homepage to PeopleString and playing lotto and Guess Which Hand, and recruiting others, which I would be doing anyway to build my list of prospects for my other programs.  I also have about $30 in pending earnings which will be paid out once my sign ups complete a survey for the Mailbox Cash Box program, although I expect some of those earnings to be pending for several months.


By attending webinars and being active in the forums, I have made some wonderful contacts.  I have met both people that need some help and some that can help me.  I have been able to tap into free marketing lessons and get excellent advice through Skype from top internet marketers.  These are great people who I can see myself having long-term business relationships with.  I have not been able to find this at any other forum or social networking community that I have been a part of. 


Very interesting changes are getting ready to happen at PeopleString and a new tool that will make recruiting people into my string a cinch will go live very shortly.  As an Entrepreneur member, I have had the opportunity to get the full details on this new program, but at this point, I can only share the details with members of my string.  So either join, or stay tuned to read about them here as soon as they become public.  For now, just let me say, that I feel extremely optimistic about the earning opportunities here and have pretty much put everything else on hold to recruit like mad for PeopleString.  If I can help my downline here see how easy it is to earn, perhaps I will gain their confidence to follow me into other programs that are proven winners for me. 


It is very hard for me to see any negatives about PeopleString at this point, in fact, it is my new favorite program!  Oh!  I almost forgot.  I am still adding an average of one person per day to my first level and I have a few active stringers who are working hard to build their own.  You can review my screenshot.  I now have a total of 50 people on level 1 and a total of 85 in my string.  Not bad for a few weeks!

Why PeopleString is So Powerful

Success in internet marketing is all about building relationships. I was taught that very early on by my friend and mentor. He is the reason I joined PeopleString and most of the other programs I am involved in. He has been earning online since he retired about 10 years ago and has built an income and down line by thinking outside of the box. He is the only person I know who claims that autoresponders are a waste of time and too much trouble. Unorthodox, but you can't argue with success. So when Warren sent me a message at PeopleString stating that he has a $5 opportunity that he thought we could work together on and really make some change, I jumped on it, no questions asked. After all, when I first met Warren, I didn't have a spare $5 to my name. Now that times are better, what harm could it do?

When Warren emailed me back with the link, I was perplexed. It was a landing page to a program that I had seen about 1,000 times before as I surfed mindlessly through countless traffic exchanges to earn credits to advertise my own programs. It was the type of ad that makes you roll your eyes. Something with a picture of a fancy sports car and mansion and something about making $1,000,000....blah, blah, blah. You know the kind. Well, I figured that either Warren could either be getting senile or there was an angle to the program that he felt he could capitalize on. Well, I am happy to report that Warren has all his faculties and you are about to see for yourself.

Today, he emailed me with a link to his latest video. Using his contacts at PeopleString, he quickly got 7 out of 10 people to jump on his offer. Quite a conversion rate. That just proves what PeopleString can do. We are both active on the forums, simply commenting and helping others out. People continue to trickle to my personal downline builder page that is attached to my PeopleString profile because they are curious about how I earn online. I get a few sign ups a week without ever asking for them or advertising.

Please enjoy Warren's video while I head on over to PeopleString to do catch up with my friends and see if I can match Warren's conversion rate.

PeopleString, Growing Steady

Approximately six weeks after I started actually figuring out what PeopleString is all about, I have 30 direct referrals, 8 on my second line and 4 on my third for a total of 42 stringers.  I average about one sign up per day which I have set as my minimum daily goal.  My earnings are at $11.06, but I also have another $14.50 in pending earnings and I will also gain more money from this months ad revenue share.  Not too bad for a free program that anyone can do.

As earlier mentioned, I really joined to see what PeopleString could do for my other online businesses, but what has happened actually amazed me.  I find myself hooked on this site.  In fact, I actually changed my home page to PeopleString this week, which is the highest virtual compliment I could bestow on someone.  Although upon joining you are urged to make this switch, I thought someone would have to pry my Google home page from my cold, dead hands.

The main reason that I felt the urge to switch was because PeopleString changed the "Guess Which Hand" game this week.  Currently you can play every 30 minutes.  If you win, you get 30 people points.  If you lose...well....you just try again in 30 minutes.  So now I am obsessed with making sure that I don't wait long periods of time between playing so that I can get the maximum people points possible.  Combine that with the 200 points that I get from logging in and doing a few simple actions four times within a 24 hour period and the points won in People Lotto every 4 hours and it is now possible to rack up points at an amazing rate.  All which will give me a larger share of the ad revenue for this month.

I continue to work the forums and enjoy them, but I am starting to care more about building my string than recruiting sign ups from the forum for my other businesses because PeopleString is truly a cool business model that I am growing increasingly optimistic about.

Through the webinars I attend a few times a week, I am learning about different ways that others are marketing PeopleString that can really apply to any other online business.  Although no earth shattering secrets have been passed along during these sessions so far, they are informative and interesting and keep me logging in every few days.

This week I did a lot of promotion using credit mailers and safelists.  In the past I have not had much success with these methods, but others swear by them.  Because some of this advertising just went out, it is too soon to decide whether this week's campaign has been successful, but I plan to change things up and try a different landing page in the next few days and compare the results.

PeopleString, Making Progress


To bring you up to speed, I joined PeopleString (PS) three months ago, but only started using it about four weeks ago. My motivation for joining was different than most people. Although this is advertised as a free money making opp, I am experimenting with PS to see if it will lead to prospects and eventually sign ups for my other programs that I am involved in.

Everyday, several times a day, I do a few simple actions to earn 50 people points. Then I approve my friend requests and reply to any messages. The most important part of my action at PS is to review the forums and comment on topics that I can contribute to, or have an opinion on. You need to be careful here with your comments. The forums are a reflection of global society. You find hucksters, (old school word for spammers) naysayers, Chicken Littles, bullies and nitpickers. But you also find kind, generous people who either want information or those who have it and may or may not be willing to share it. As hard as you try, sometimes your comments will be misconstrued, but be very careful not to pick a fight or criticize. Helpful suggestions usually work well.

I try to be myself. I try to be genuine. I offer tips, encouragement and perspective. The forums are filled with people who came into PS expecting to be millionaires overnight. You can hardly blame them because all programs like this tend to exaggerate the success that the average Joe can expect. However, I have found that people who are willing to stay positive, promote their programs and be consistent begin to have success after a period of time. Those who get frustrated and quit.....well.....obviously they don't. The trick is to get people to understand and believe that they can succeed. If you can do that, people will be drawn to you.

In the last week, I have gotten two referrals in a traffic exchange, one sign up in another free program I use to earn, but most interesting to me is that I am getting at least a dozen emails every day with people asking to know more about what I do and how I earn. That is the reason I joined PS and so far it seems to be working. I don't have to spam my links, or toot my own horn, I am just being me. And that's very comfortable for a change!

A quick update. I currently have a string of 32 people. 21 on my 1st line, 8 on my second and 2 on my third. I am adding to my first line at about a rate of one person, per day. I currently have earned $10 and have another $10 pending and when the next revenue share is posted in about a week, I will have more since I am active on the site.

I won 250 People Points yesterday by spinning the wheel and earlier in the day I won $1. Not bad for playing a game, huh? Another update shortly regarding helpful info given out at the PS Entrepreneur Webinar last night.
