    This is professional marketing and branding, from a small team of experienced professionals. Websites and businesses who make good money, spend 10-100 times more money for similar services.
    These campaigns are not specifically targeted at search engines, so there aren't specific guarantees about SERPS. This is full fledged marketing, branding and sales package that will boost the long term profitability, overall traffic, conversions, links, public awareness and much more.

    This is a serious sales thread for a professional service. We do not work on a contingency basis, if you have a serious business it is important to invest in your branding if you plan for long term success.

    Exactly. I'd pay you $1,000 if you did that.

    If you're "guaranteeing" this service, would you be prepared to have paperwork put together?

    If the site does not make $5000, what would you plan to offer by way of compensation?

    Thank you everyone for your interest.
    Paperwork is not a problem for serious customers. Let me know if you need an NDA too as that is common practice in this field.

    Obviously folks, this offer is not meant to ensure you have made $5,000 in your first month. This is a long term marketing and branding plan. Branding is what companies like CocaCola do, by putting their logos, slogans, etc, all over the place so that they will create a residual branding effect and everyone will know their name for years to come. Kind of like the early days of viral marketing.

    If after 6 months, you have not seen a total of $5,000 (you will have to provide all documents and proof) I will happily provide the next 6 months of service absolutely free of charge, or if you chose only to pay for one month of service, after 6 months if you have not earned $500, I will provide another month for free.

    Keep in mind people, this offer includes graphics design, content writing and branding work. This form of marketing will be long term, viral and residual. That means even if you don't take our advice, and chose not to use our services to their full extent, you will be left with useful content and killer brandable graphics that will help you indefinitely, and links and traffic that will continue to trickle in after you pass your website down to your kids.

    So what kind of timescale are we looking at to reach $5k per month from this service?

    Also, on top of your costs, what additional costs are involved to hit those numbers?

    To answer your question:
    There have been many scam artists present most recently, some with up to 18 I-traders (with no negative), via my experiences.
    Being that you have 7 I-traders with one negative; to answer your question which I will better phrase:
    Will you pay $250.00 up front, to a questionable source, to gain $5000.00?
    To me the answer is definitely NO.
    Sorry!

    Tribulus: I challenge you to be more productive with your criticism.


    HDfan: The timeframe on how long it takes to bring your site/business up to $5,000 per month is mostly up to you. I can make people find your site, I can make people know your brand, know your name, recognize your images... etc... But You aren't hiring me as your sales manager, I can't guarantee that YOU will close sales, or that you will listen to me if I suggest that you use one advertiser network over another. The proof will be in the stats, and in the records all over the Internet.

    There is not a guarantee that you will make $5000 per month because you order our services. The guarantee is that you will get a comprehensive marketing campaign that will cover all of your bases, along with consultation to assist you in any other aspect of your site via email, to ensure that you are successful, along with many resources available to help with whatever niche your site targets.

    To answer the concerns so inappropriately mentioned by tribulus for everyone else. As mentioned this is not some DP account of some unknown person you are dealing with.
    This is a registered, LEGAL, corporation. Been in business as a verified Paypal Business account since 2001. All paypal transactions come with buyer protection which means if you have a dispute or are not satisfied with your service, you open a paypal dispute and the money is immediately yanked out of our business account and put back into yours. We are prepared to provide paperwork, NDA's and involve lawyers for our more serious higher paying clients.

    So would I trust all these so-called scam artists you claim everyone here to be, to pay me after I've spent MY money, my time, my employees time, space on my websites and networks, etc... and hope that I will get paid? Where's the equality there? I have proof of reliability, what good are your 325 posts and 31 iTrader?
    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your concern, we've been dealing with Internet scammers since the Internet itself was still in diapers, let alone anyone else!

    Good elaborations, thanks. OK perhaps you can tell, from your experience, which business types or business models can benefit more that others from your plan and efforts?

    Not a problem, thank you for the kind words, always nice to hear.

    Lodro: That's kind of the point of the service we are offering here, and why some people are skeptical because I don't have some cut and dry list of tasks and specific things we will do for you. Each company and website is different, and anyone who's actually worked in the corporate world of advertising and marketing, would think it strange to have a meeting with a marketing consultant, who is telling them how many posts, how many links, how many articles, that some guy we're outsourcing to will submit your site to 500,000 directories... To them, this all sounds a little... 1st grade. They want to hear how you're going to make their slogan flow with the custom logo you're designing to perfectly match their products and target audience. They want to hear that you've figured out WHO their BEST target market is for them, through research and analysis of market trends... This makes things more challenging in the DP market, as there is no way that I could do this effectively if everything was in an assembly line system where we did the exact same thing for your site as we do for Sally's.

    Whatever your site, your niche, your market, we tailor the marketing campaign to make a perfect formed fit.
    In other words, we will take the time to research your site, your competition, your industry trends, your keywords and subject areas but not just in relation to SEO/SEM, but to your branding efforts etc.
    I hope this answers your question to a degree.

    Sounds pretty good. However I feel many people here aren't going to have $500, let alone a business that would benefit from true marketing, of course that's not to say there aren't a lot here who do, just many people here are really starting out with their "businesses".

    I know if I had both I'd be looking for something like this.

    Starting out can be the best time to invest in something like this, and one of the mistakes that many startups make, is not budgeting for marketing, and working on branding. Many people who are starting out business online either have access to money to invest in their project, or do some work to save up some money.

    I've seen people on DP and other business forums like this, where they most certainly do have $500 to spend, and some that even have as much as up to $50,000 or more, to spend on marketing.

    This is why we thought it a good idea to bring down the price of a true professional marketing team, and give something to offer DP that would stay within reach for the people here who work hard and are serious about making money online.

    Were all of Donald Trump's Businesses good examples of businesses that should be marketed heavily? No. But he made a hell of a lot of money doing it.

    I'm a bit of an old school businessman, and I don't think that cash is the only solution to every situation. The barter system had a lot of advantages, and helped create a more productive society in the past.
    Scoty, feel free to contact me in private if you would like to discuss a custom arrangement for your site/business.

    The truth is the most successful companies on the web, including places like HostGator.com, Myspace.com, Google.com all got this way with branding and marketing. It takes money to make money. I have been working for and with Mike of Xind.ca for 5 years and he has helped me make a lot of money with the skills which I possess. Don't trust me? Contact one of the 30+ clients I have who have left me iTrader.

    This is not about nickle and dime websites trying to make $5,000 for a month and pitter off of the map, this is for those who are looking to turn their company into a six figure a year profit. Places like Myspace.com put a lot of money into their marketing and are now worth millions.

    Think about it.
