PixMeUp "Candid Interview"
Well, PixMeUp may not have lived up to pretty much any of their promises, but they are still here, fighting and attempting to reposition themselves as a legitimate long-term advertising opportunity that you have to work for.
What, you may say, they were like this all along? Uh, no. PixMeUp's original sales pitch and spin was that all of us who got in early on the pixel gold rush would have our residiual income centers filled by spillover from a special matrix.
I'm yet to see this happen in pretty much mine or anyone's account. The people who've earnt big have been those who've actively recruited tons of people themselves. The Gold Matrixes, the 'passive income' ones were a joke and I suppose we could even say a lie.
That's something that bothers me about the below passages.
"CANDID WORDS BETWEEN LORNE RAY AND RUSS MEDLIN
About the Future of Pixmeup
Being the CEO of Pixmeup and knowing all of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of this business, I decided to sit Russ Medlin, my business partner, down and ask him some personal questions about this business and where we are headed. I think you will find that what he has to say is inspirational and motivational.
Personally, I was moved by the fact that Russ was so excited about Internet advertising relative to where Pixmeup is headed knowing the mindset of network marketers.
-Lorne Ray
Question (LR): With so many opportunities out there for someone with your abilities in network marketing, why Internet advertising? Why not just join a company already in business that has all the operating issues worked out, and all you would have to do is recruit! There are travel, nutrition, anti-aging, gas saving deals, and the list goes on and on. Again, why Internet advertising?
Answer (RM): The secret to network marketing working as a long term sustainable business is directly related to that "hook" or "motive' for people to stay involved. The companies that have lasted in network marketing have a powerful hook and motive. Today, there is no more powerful hook or motive than the Internet, and the fact that it is a way for people to affordably reach a targeted audience.
All of those other deals are limited. They are only as good as the next product development or change in comp plan. Then the masses leave. There is nothing to keep people tied to the deal. With Internet advertising- it is different. When you have invested your time and human capital to this deal.every eyeball out there that you create will make you money forever! People will never stop surfing the Internet. The Internet will never go away. There will only be ONE Internet.
To me, pixel pages represent just the beginning of what could become the most powerful channel of Internet advertising on the planet. Think about it for a minute.I have recruited hundreds of thousands of people into deals over the years. None, not one, of these deals do I make a single dime on today! If I had all of these people in an Internet advertising channel, not only me, but all of the people I recruited would still be making money. It is a channel that will never go away.
It doesn't matter if the product lines or public interests change.advertisers still need a cost effective way to reach a targeted audience. If that audience is accessible through a channel that you create and own.you have income for life! It is like owning your own toll bridge. Every time someone wants to cross the river, they have to pay you to use your bridge. It doesn't matter if they are hauling nutritional products, traveling or going to meet someone about a business opportunity, they have to pay you to get there. That is a good position to be in.and that is what this business is all about. Building your own Internet advertising channel.
Question (LR): We have over 13,000 people in Pixmeup to date and though many have made money, for those whose expectations have not been met yet, what do you say to them?
Answer (RM): Pixmeup is still a very young company. We still have less that 15,000 people and only about 1000 of our people have recruited more than 3 people into the business. This means that most of the work and the money made has gone to these 1000 people. What people need to understand the most about this business is that the more people you recruit the bigger your channel of commerce becomes, and that translates into huge residual income down the road. If you only recruit a couple people and then are relying upon them to build the business for you, it won't work--in this or any other business. Remember, successful people are those who are willing to do things that unsuccessful people were not willing to do. It is that simple.
Question (LR): What about all of the false starts, delays and technical issues we have had?
Answer (RM): That's easy Lorne; those are all your fault.lol.seriously.like you said in your last letter to the field, we moved quickly to get first mover position in the market. This meant we were flying blind a bit and making things up as we go.and though this sounds a bit amateurish, the reality is that we had to do it. We had to get momentum rolling while young Alex Tews was on every talk show and front page of newspapers around the world validating the value of Internet advertising.not necessarily pixel pages. And.the fact that he made a million dollars validated the fact that there is HUGE money in the Internet advertising space. The key is that we have LEADERS who believe in us and the business model and we have made a commitment to them to take the time now to get things working properly.
Question (LR): Why will Pixmeup continue to grow and will these new groups with millions of members in their databases really want to join us?
Answer (RM): Absolutely we will continue to grow. This business is inexpensive to join, easy to duplicate, and we don't compete with other existing network marketing companies. Many people will join us and still participate in other deals because Pixmeup will actually help them to grow those businesses enabling them to have multiple income streams. This is smart on their part. As more and more people realize the TREMENDOUS VALUE of owning their own Internet advertising channel, our growth will set records in the space. And.when our retail program gets into high gear the growth will be of Google proportions.
Question (LR): What do you have to say to those people who have been disappointed with the money they have made to date from Pixmeup?
Answer (RM): After being in network marketing for 12 going on 13 years, I know there are always going to be people who think they did not make as much money as they thought they would. When people listen to a call, they hear what they want to hear and then set expectations that may be a little unrealistic in the short term. It is hard for anyone to really say they made enough or not enough from Pixmeup because we have only been in business for less than 6 months. For anyone who chooses to work hard and get people on the conference calls, and truly believes in Internet advertising.get back to me in two years and tell me whether it paid off. People are going to be amazed at what they create.
Question (LR): What is the most important thing you would tell someone already in Pixmeup to keep him or her in the business, and to get more excited than ever about where we are heading?
Answer (RM): Simple. This is the future. There will never be another time when so many people can build a huge residual income than through Internet advertising. As more and more people join Pixmeup, the power we create as an advertising channel will be second to none. If you wait to join you will only be losing out on people who could have been part of your channel. Each person who joins us makes the channel that much stronger. Every person's individual channel is made up of eyeballs that represent money showing up in their mailbox every month for the rest of their life.
Don't focus on where we have been or you have been.focus on making the channel as powerful as you can. Tell everyone you know that regardless of what you do-- doctor, lawyer, teacher or truck driver.the value of your word of mouth marketing could be translated into money in your pocket through Pixmeup!
Like the slogan for the NBA says."GET IN THE GAME".
(LR): In closing.this is business is about "aggregating eyeballs".what Russ had to say about the business and both it's future and network marketing is encouraging for all of us. Together we can make this happen as a global network. After all, that is what network marketing is really all about in the first place.
All the best,
Lorne C. Ray
CEO-Pixmeup
P.S. Mr. Pixter and some amazing new tools to help YOU make money and build your Pixmeup business are right around the corner."
What bothers me about it? Well this is the amalgamation of everything that's been happening. No longer is it 'you'll get massive spillover and passive income from your gold centers.' Instead now it's all about Network Marketing and 'building your business.'
These sly acts leave me with a mild sour taste in my mouth. Crap like "TARGETTED advertising" above misses the point completely. It's not targetted - you look at random pixel-blocks on a screen and click the ones that look mildly interesting.
However, something that is promising for the future of PixMeUp is the rumbling that adds will become searchable by topic and region - this will begin to ACTUALLY add tremendous value to the advertising, not like the current BS!
So, the future looks good for PixMeUp. I'm sure they will continue to build slowly and steadily and add marked value to their advertising.
However, I'll always remember the claims upon which the company was built. 'Everyone would get paid heaps,' etc. I always knew was not on the level. However, I did believe that if the company kept chugging along we'd all get a few people drop into our Gold Matrices, fairly and evenly distributed, over time. I don't see that happening and it looks like my Gold Matrices were passed by.
PixMeUp could continue to grow, slowly but steadily, into a behemoth, and one day I could be very glad to have my early position, but I'll always remember the foundations upon which it was built. Only a fool builds a house on sand.
What, you may say, they were like this all along? Uh, no. PixMeUp's original sales pitch and spin was that all of us who got in early on the pixel gold rush would have our residiual income centers filled by spillover from a special matrix.
