Things to look at when judging if or not the business is worth venturing into: Tissa Godavitarne has been paying the APS affiliates commissions a timely manner and there has never been a complained about not receiving commissions when they are due for payments as long as you met the requirements.

Rule of thumb

Acme offers free 30 days Trial and $29.95/ month If it's too high there is a chance of the owner running away with the money. 1) How much upfront payment?

The owner makes it very clear how you can him and if not reach the support team. Tissa helds webinars which you can talk to him personally and he will give you answers. Address of the owner, 2) IS the owner of the business reachable?

You're getting testimonials from REAL people who has earned from this business Again a whole forum filled with members who have earned from APS giving testimonials. 3) Any testimonials from people who has successful earn form the business?

Acme people search is what I call something in between easy and hard. I gauge a good business as one not being too easy and too hard. Chances are it's not a good business and too hard is also another problem, if it's too easy. 4) How easy or hard is it to make money?

A well known and trusted online website, aPS pays its affiliates via Paypal. Choosing a company that pays using a suitable method. 5) Payment method and commission methods.

For the above ACME People Search passed all the criteria.

#2 How much can you earn from ACME People Search?

There is a total transparency board you can see the amount of commissions paid to date.

But let's look at the others and analyze in detail Now when you look at the board you will see Tissa Godavitarne and his wife Carolyn at the top of course since it's his program.

#4 How hard (or easy) is it to earn from ACME People Search?

First you will need to reach a minimum of $200 to receive the first payment and there after a minimum of $50 Let me give you a picture of how easy or hard it is.

Therefore you will only need $75.Now to collect that $75, now technically upon signing up completing up to step 3 you will receive $125 credited to your account as a bonus but you will need a minimum of $200.

) 2/9 = 22.2% (This exceeds the 15% minimum threshold therefore qualifying for performance bonus. First you will need 9 referrals to signup for step 1 and at least 2 to sign up for step 3, let's look at the minimum amount of referrals required.

9 x $1 = $9 9 x $4 = $36

2 x $3 = $6 2 x $12 = $24

Total $15 $60 = $75 Total

Also Recurring commissions every month of $4.50 from referrals who pays that $29.95monthly fees For a seasoned pro it wouldn't be a problem. Well that's for you to decide. Hard? 2 people to sign up to step 3? Getting 9 referrals in 45 days? So in the beginning your goal is to at least get that $75 at least to get a taste of your first $200.

#5 Referral quality system and pending payments New updates

One thing that a lot of newcomers are confused is regarding the referral quality system and the pending payment because a lot of articles did not mention this part of ACME People Search.

(from step 1 to step 3) you commissions will only be credited to you after the above amount of days have passed from the day of completing any of the steps: every time your referrals register for ACME People Search and complete the above steps,

Step 1 = 30 days

Step 2 = 45 days

Step 3 = 45 days

At the APS back office in the referral section you will see at the top for pending payments highlighted in red. Only after the above days have passed will you be credited to your account.

Example:

I have 8 referrals who has completed step 1 and hence my potential payment is $40

This $40 is inclusive of basic commission (8 x$1=8) and the performance bonus

(8 x $4 = $32) total $40

#6 Conditions to cashout- New updates

You must reach a minimum of $200 for the first cash out and $50 thereafter 1.

You must be subscribed for a minimum of 45 days under step 3 2.

You must use an email address of the domain name you host under step 2 for your Paypal account. 3.

Once all the above conditions have been met you will be able to cash out.

- New updates #7 Is it really true you earn from 8 income streams and how?

Also for you to get commissions from Hostgator you will need to be first subscribed under Wealthy Affiliate before Hostgator is available to you. However "Mylife" is no longer accepting new referrals for the time being so that leads to 7 streams of income for new ACME People Search members, well yes.

You earn commissions from the following

Clickbank -- Cost to join = Free

Adsense -- Cost to join = Free

Mylife -- Cost to join = Free

HdPublishing --Cost to join = Free

Above four when someone makes a search on your search engine and purchases any of the products offered you will earn commissions

Hostgator -- Signing up as an affiliate is Free however you will need to subscribe to Wealthy affiliate first to get commissions from Hostgator via ACME People Search

Thereafter $10/month gDI -- Global Domains International -- Free trial 7 days,

GVO --Global Virtual Opportunities -- $1 Free trial and there after $44.95/month

Thereafter $29.95/month aCME -- Acme people search -- Free 30 days trial,

Above four are the commissions you get when you promote your APS referral link

#8 Transparency of ACME People Search and the owner?

This is your opportunity to talk to Tissa Godavitarne himself. You are free to bring up questions regarding his program Webinars twice a week under the "Talk to Tissa" in the forum. The ACME People Search forum being brought online on July 2009 reveals a lot and there is even a sub forum for revealing whether or not it's a scam. Tissa Godavitarne has made a lot of effort of trying to be as transparent as he can't, ever since the existence of this forum.

That is one of the standing points in the forum which brings us to the next area.

#9 The ACME People Search forum and what is the Super Sponsor title?

Tissa Godavitarne has done something no other forum has done and that is offering Super Sponsor status to members of the forum for simply being helpful and paying it forward subject to certain conditions, the ACME People Search forum has evolved and is still evolving.

The $100 is a new incentive which is to be implemented on Tissa Godavitarne will reimburse your affiliate fees up to $133 and in addition $100 as an incentive to continue supporting the forum and helping others to succeed. So what happens when one becomes a Super sponsor?

This is a good incentive for beginners who are low in funds and would like to venture into this business simply by participating in the forum and paying it forward.

#10 Questioning the validity of the forum's feedback on the ACME People Search program.

My suggestion is to evaluate it with your own judgement from what you read, in my opinion this exists in whatever business offline and online where members support the business that they are in. Some will argue that the members in the forum will protect and defend the APS program at all cost because they themselves are in to this business so there exists a bias in opinion. Members in the forum continuously provide support to the forum by providing answers and support to new members.

The difference is the strategy and the level of time invested. Some have earned a lot some may not even earn a single dime. Are you willing to lose what you have invested? Ask yourself how much time and effort will you take to do this business, also when going to join?

However I have seen beginners who have earned with APS. My personal opinion is that this business is best suited for people who have experience in internet marketing.

Hope this helps clear some doubts.
