Cash Gifting Update

I dont have a huge update for you but yesterday was exciting. I got calls from a few people that had also spent a lot of time trying out internet businesses. We had a very good conversation about what works and what doesn't. It was refreshing to talk to fellow entrepreneurs! I'm very excited to work with them and build a team.

When we put our brains together I think that we'll be able to make this even more successful than those before us. Exciting!!

The Apple Patch Diet

I tried this one a long time ago. Its really no different than any other affiliate program out there. They give you a few advertising tools like banners and such but thats about it for the support. I spent 1 month trying to make a sale and about 1,000 in advertising costs. Guess what? No sale! The problem with this kind of affiliate program is that no one has ever HEARD of the apple patch diet. Who would spend $50 on some pills they've never heard of.

Cash Gifting Pros and Cons; Residual Income Business?

I stumbled upon cash gifting the other day. My first thought was "NO WAY" my second thought was "IS THIS LEGAL?" and my third thought.. "WOW, they make a lot..". The more I read and researched it the more I surprisingly liked it. I spent a few days researching and asking the person I had met a million and one questions. I was impressed with his answers and what I read. Cash gifting IS legal and for the people that put forth an effort, it does work.

I had a bunch of questions and I wanted to put those thoughts together for you so that you could hear the answers.

1. Why would ANYone commit to mailing cash to someone else? Answer: Cash gifting is best described as people helping people. People NEED money and surprisingly would love to get rich by helping people.

2. Once you hit the success line, what do you tell your friends and family that you do for a living? Answer: Online marketing is the number 1 answer. You dont need to go telling everyone about your business unless you want to. This business is not for everyone. If you know someone or meet someone that you think would benefit from cash gifting, then by all means tell them!

3. If this is tax-free income, how do you go about getting a loan for a house? Answer: Everyone participating is making so much that they dont need loans. Its easier to go buy that Lotus or mansion with cash.

4. You say that we wont have to call people, but yet people can request a call-back on the website? Answer: You aren't calling people, you're returning their calls. Plus, the website is set up to explain everything to people so you dont have to explain the system to them. All you're doing is answering questions truthfully and honestly. No need to sell anyone on anything.

5. What is the true success rate of those that start up? Answer: 6 out of the 10 people I sign up do well. The 4 that dont, are the 4 that dont put forth an effort and expect to get rich by just sitting there.

6. How much advertising costs can we expect to spend? Answer: Last year I spend $23,000 in google ads and made $257,000. My budget is $120/day but you certainly dont have to start out that high. When I first started my budget was $25/day.

7. Whats the general start up time? Answer: First you need to over-night the cash. After that, I'll send you over all the marketing stuff and it'll take about 2 days to get that all set up. Once your ads are up and running, it typically takes 1-3 weeks to get your first pledge. But dont be discouraged! From there it starts picking up really fast.

8. Whats the key to successful cash gifting? Answer: Your trainer and tools! You NEED a system that works. Ours is state of the art because it does everything for us! And your trainer/mentor is here for your every need.

SO, I joined and Id say I've been up and running for about a week now. Although I have not received a pledge yet, I have received a TON of calls and have several people genuinely interested. My trainer, Mike has helped out a ton. I was too nervous to call back the first couple of call back requests so he called them for me! This is way more success than I've had with any of the other affiliate companies I've tried.

Final SFI Review; Does it work?

I wanted to do an update on how my SFI went. I actively advertised SFI for about 2 months and a half. I believe I got 250 or so affiliates signed up under me and made about $17/month. Not worth it in my opinion. I can see how if you keep it up you could eventually make a little money. But you'd have to spend an awful lot of money in advertising to get there. The drop out rate is pretty high for the new affiliates as well.

So if you want to pursue SFI, go for it! I'm not willing to invest anymore money into it though.
