People Searches--Is This The Real Deal?

A few days ago I signed up with a people searching program.

Why? Well out of all the hundreds of online business sites, I am constantly seeing, this one looks really promising.
Why again? Apparently, trying to find lost friends, relatives, work colleagues etc. is involved in a massive 30% of all searches on Google. This must make it the biggest niche market, by a distance. And we are always told to"find our niche".

Now the first thing I have to say is that this program isn't free, but I think it's worth having a go at, and I will be letting you know how lucrative, or not, it is, as soon as it becomes clear.

Here is an overview of what's involved when you sign up.

First of all you have to choose, and then pay for, a domain name for your own people search website. I chose--- http://www.peoplelocata.com/
You have to pay for hosting, and you are given a link to the hosting company that the people search program is synchronized with.

Now you have your own people search site, and, as is usual with most online businesses, you are an affiliate for the program you have joined, giving you two prospective sources of income--- people, searching for people, and referrals.

With everything set up you will actually have three websites to promote.
Mine are as follows---

People search site--- http://www.peoplelocata.com/
Referral pre-sell site--- http://viralurl.com/extrasec/searches
Referral direct link--- http://peoplelocata.com/tissa.htm

At this point most programs leave you on your own to find ways to promote your sites.
Many will give you advice, or tempt you into upgrading so you can email your downline, get bigger commissions etc.

However Acme-people-search is different.
For a monthly fee, they will promote your search engine, on Google, Yahoo, MSN and others. using Pay per click etc.

Anyone who has tried ppc, and lost money, will know how complicated it is, and be relieved to have someone, with expertise, doing it for them.

Even better they give you a month's free trial, which involves 100 clicks, and if you're not happy you don't have to subscribe.
To make this offer they must be very confident of results, and of course you can still do your own promotion as well/instead.

And here's the best bit, they give you $125, just for signing up.
This easily covers your start up costs-- only thing is, they don't pay out until you reach $200, so you have to do some work and give the program a little bit of time before you receive this, but it's certainly a worthwhile incentive to give it a go.

Anyway that's what it's all about and I will report back when I see how things pan out.

Handy Disposable Email.

Are you overun with spam?

The problem is the more people you give your e.mail address to, the more spam you get.
Especially if you sign up for the many competions on offer at sites like Cashcrate and Plum prizes etc.

You sign up for a load of comps. and offers [Cashcrate pay you just for signing up to offers] and the next thing you know, you are deluged with spam and other unwanted messages.
One answer is to get a separate email address just for these sign ups and then abandon it when it becomes over subscribed.

However, while I was browsing Linkreferral, yesterday. I came across this alternative option.

It's called MailEater and is a site that provides you with temporary email addresses.
You just choose an identity, add it to MailEater.com and use it for sign ups. You can use your identity as many times as you like and go back to MailEater to check for messages, if you want to.

The messages are only kept for 4 hours before being deleted. You can change your identity as often as you like, there is no need to sign up and everything is completely free.

Very useful when you dont want to use your primary addresses.
