Opportunity Knocking

Acme People Search

Acme People Search is a interesting residual income internet marketing opportunity.

I use it myself and it generates approximately $2,000 per month for me in pure residual income, which means it is a HANDS-OFF BUSINESS.

Upfront, I invested approximately $100 and 40 hours of time. Some of the 40 hours was not specifically for Acme People Search because I was learning Internet Marketing (through videos) which I use on other businesses as well.

I did not have to learn anything about creating websites or any aspect of internet marketing, except how to use video as a marketing tool (something I learned from the course described below).

On an ongoing basis, I invest $40/month and ZERO TIME.

This opportunity is predicated on the basic fact that about 30% of all searches on Google are people related. People are searching for people they have lost touch with such as past classmates, girlfriends, relatives, etc. People also want to know more about the people they come into contact with.

Here are some of the things people need information on:

  • Locate a missing relative who is no long in touch
  • Get in touch again with a long lost classmate
  • Hook up again with a long ago girlfriend
  • Check on a new prospective boyfriend's criminal record
  • Figure out who keeps calling and not leaving their name
  • Locate a husband who is not paying alimony or child support
  • Figure out if the creepy new neighbor is a registered sex offender.
Acme People Search has created a free to use search engine with a very extensive database that can locate a person's address, phone number, and photo. In addition, Acme has made referral marketing arrangements with a large number of information provides that provide additional information on people such as background checks, reverse phone number lookups, social security lookups, etc. These additional information providers consolidate information from a variety of governmental data sources and charge a small amount for people to subscribe. If you sign up with Acme People Search, you will get your own copy of this search engine, branded under your name and hosted on your domain. In addition, as users use this search engine, if they sign up with one of the additional information services you will get a commission.

Basically, if you publicize this search engine, you will make commissions.

This is not a get rich quick scheme, and it does not promise you will make millions. This is a legitimate business opportunity which fills a real need that many people have, to get information about other people.


Initial Investment: $107

  • CamStudio Video Creation Software (Free)

(You can choose to continue to market using a variety of tools to increase your income, driving traffic to your people search engine and to Acme's income opportunity. However, this is certainly not required and you will get a reasonable part time income without doing that).

  • The business opportunity is legitimate and does not overhype anything.
  • You don't need to know anything about internet marketing or creating a website
  • You will only need to learn about video marketing, which is all explained in the Video Marketing Explosion course

Con:
---
  • This will not replace a full time income.
  • You will never get filthy rich on this opportunity.
