Do you set your own prices?

I personally am not very  enthusiastic about these schemes

ive think I just read a post which said i have my money back so does that mean by the time you have paid ongoing  costs you actually did the jobs just to pay for your membership fees etc

The answers i want to see on a regular basis as evidence that it works is

For every pound I spend I get five or six back and if I do not make that return they do not charge me

Regarding Censorship

The only time I have known it if someone really Cyber bullies

Possibly if you say something Bad about Supplier and you have not gone through formal complaints procedure and you do not supply full evidence

I forgot continually Spamming a supplier or a forum

simple truth is dont invest in online directories or schemes where you don't own the website

invest in your own site to drive traffic to that. A website you own and maintain yourself is the cheapest and probably the best advert you can have

learn how sites work, how they attract your client through Google searches, these types of schemes rely on you not being bothered to learn yourself - thats fine but you are never going to actually drive traffic to YOUR OWN site unless you learn the basics

you can buy a hosting package for a fiver a month and have loads of sites on it that will out perform CCN

if you can't work out how to do it, get your site reworked properly and optimised - its cheaper and better in the long run

look at Spick & Spam that Cleanitup started - got lots of people join up at first with lots of promises but when was the last time you saw it come up in a search?! And if Cleanitup can't make it work with all the people they have on this database - then who will?

Something very interesting happened a couple of days ago in the USA (and if it happens there it's bound to happen here).

The browser Firefox (version 34) changed it's default search engine from Google to Bing / Yahoo.

Apparently, Google's search share in the US dropped from 82% to 63% while Bing/Yahoo usage jumped from 9% to 29% (in less than a day since the change occurred). That's going to make life interesting.

How i see this is you get clients and if you do a good job there yours to keep because it will be you they call next time.

If you pay £500 and get 10 custys and make that £500 back then you don't lose but get 10 new custys who recommend you to family and friends so your building your client base which generates more money for you in the long run.

If it doesn't work out and your losing money because no 1 calls then end it Simples.

Oh and before anyone asks i'm not part of it but what i'm reading sounds like it's a good chance to get new custys and that's what it's about and these custys aren't like groupon who only want a deal they have searched and found the site now you sell yourself.

Ahh but many new pc's and laptops are set by default to IE and Bing Yahoo search engines, and they have been for some time.
Despite that, you will find that most of your traffic comes from Google and only a small percentage from others. I suspect that many such as myself will reset their home page search to Google.

Does that mean a £ 500.00 set up charge for each area?

[kleanitall ltd]

No set up charge is charged only once i believe but i could stand corrected

Looks completely dodgy to me. It beggars belief why CIU are promoting this; the first company testimonial, it seems the company no longer exists.

Also the customer testimonials on the web site dedicated to different areas are copied over therefore are not genuine.

How come CIU are promoting something that has no credibility?

    Everybody to their own but I could not operate a bussiness where client aquisition equals money earnt from the job . To me somebody must have brainwashed you. I do not like companies that delibretly set out to make money out of tradesmen . no doubt the phone lines to Cleanitup HQ will be ringing
