"Traffic Exchanges Are a Waste of Time"

"Traffic Exchanges Are a Waste of Time"

Have you ever heard someone say this in a forum or in an email that came across your inbox? I know I have and every time it makes me say to myself... these people don't know what they're talking about.. or do they?

Sure if they're not using them correctly then it is a waste of time for them. They're wasting their time using the TE's to advertise because they don't know how to use them effectively.

On the other hand... they're not a waste of time to many people because they do know how to use them effectively.

Today, I want go into the top 5 ways to use TE's effectively.

1. Start with the end in mind. If you want to provide a product they want or desire to a surfer of a TE then you need to ask yourself what they want?

What do most TE surfers want and desire? Well one things for sure you know they want more traffic. You know they're using the TEs to get more traffic... and you know they're goal is get more people to their sites. I think I said the same thing 3 times. :o)

That's an easy one... so is there a product that you own, promote or can create that would be what they want or desire?

Let's say you come up with a product that will help them surf in half the time they're doing now (that's not cheat software :o). Or a new software tool that will help them manage all their TE accounts for them.

Would that be something they would want or desire? You Bet!

So, that's something you have to keep in mind. Too many people are promoting things in TEs that no one cares to buy or use. That's another reason why promoting TEs in TEs works so well. That's what the surfer is looking for #1... Traffic generating tools or services.

Okay so let's say you have the coolest and newest tool that every surfer has got to have... and they can afford to buy it. Now that's half the battle and you've won that one before you even step onto the battle field.

2. Create a Splash Page that lists the top benefits they want and a catchy graphic that stops them dead in their tracks. Too many people promote long sales pages in the TE's that people just don't have the time to read while they're surfing. Remember there goal while they surf is to generate traffic to their sites.

You have to catch their eye first by putting something in front of them that will stop them dead in their tracks and then get them to click over to your site from the Splash Page. That way you have their undivided attention. Your headline needs to contain a sense of urgency. It must tap into anticipation, desire, curiosity, and other emotional hot buttons. It must have a call to action.

Keep in mind, once they click over to your site... it better be something that interests them or they're gone for good and chances are even if they see your page 1,000 more times they won't ever click it again. :o(

3. Lead capture pages... these still work very well. If you give them enough information to get their curiosity flowing, but not enough for the whole enchilada, then you can get them to fill out your lead capture page for more info, or to download a free product. The secret here is to give them something they would gladly pay for, but they don't have to since you're giving it to them for free (plus that let's you know what they're interested in... and means you can sell similar products to them later).

Now if you've captured their name and email to follow up with them for a sale, then It's best from this point to send them some follow up messages that will drip your sales messages over days and weeks with the ability to buy the product at anytime through out the emails you send them.

How many emails should you set up to go out? That's up to you... if you test the emails and know that on day 3 of the emails 90% of the subscribers buy, then you might not need to keep adding email after email. Set up about 5 and add on if necessary. Keep testing and find out what works or doesn't.

4. Squeeze Pages. This is a combination of both a Splash Page and a Lead Capture Page in one. It gets the viewer to fill out the form and once they do they get redirected to your sales page with a more open mind because they just gave you their name and email for more info.

Then you can send them the follow up emails like the lead capture page does. Just make sure if they buy your product from the sales page that you stop sending them emails especially if after a certain amount of messages you start offering lower prices. You don't want upset customers knowing they could have paid less for the product.

5. The Free Report... this is where you give them access right to your Free Report. This can be great for the skeptics out there. These are the people that have gotten burned from opting into too many email lists and they aren't going to just give up their name and email anymore. They get way too many emails as it is and don't trust anyone.

So, adding a link to your Free Report right from a Splash Page can help these people click over and get more comfortable with you and what you're offering before they have to give out their info. Then after they read the report, give them a way to opt-in for more info.

My suggestion to you is to first get something they want, then second add all three methods to present the info through out the TE's. Then third... test each one and see which generates the highest return on investment.

Okay, now here's the most important tip in getting results from promoting in the TE's.

After setting up a product you believe they will want, and implementing all three advertising methods and sending about 10,000 unique visitors to those pages... if you don't see people opt-in or get a sale... Then Stop! That's it... quit wasting your time. You're right... Traffic Exchanges Are a Waste of Time.

I bet that won't happen! Actually, I've had so much success using the TE's I know that won't happen. And if it does...please let me know and I will take the time to explain why it didn't happen and show you what you did wrong or why it didn't work for you.

The Best Way To Generate Free Targeted Website Traffic

The Best Way To Generate Free Targeted Website Traffic

If you have a website or you promote someone else's' website as an affiliate, you need to drive traffic to it.

Without traffic, you won't get visitors. And without visitors, you won't make money, sales, get subscribers, etc. What good is a website without any traffic? And if the site is getting traffic, what good is it if it's not targeted traffic?

There are many ways to drive traffic to your site, both free and paid. But we are not going to talk about paid traffic right now. That is a totally different topic and could take hours to cover.

So, back to free traffic. Some ways of getting free traffic to your site is by Search Engine Optimization, surfing for traffic, or getting it passively.

SEO takes time and a lot of work. When you join sites that are surf for traffic sites, you have to look at other members' sites in order to earn advertising credits for your site to be displayed when another member is surfing.

The only problem with this is that although the traffic is free, it is not targeted. Everyone who is a member only surfs for the credit and very rarely even looks at the site, they just minimize their window on their PC and multi-task. So, the traffic is crap and worthless.

Now, let's talk about the best way to get free targeted traffic. It's called Instant Buzz. Instant Buzz is a service that gives you advertising credits as you surf the web like you normally would. What you do is download the toolbar for free, it only takes a minute. Then, you set up your ads in the members area. And bam, you ads are being displayed on other members' tool bars as they surf.

You can also put Instant Buzz ads in emails that you send to your friends. These are called mail space ads. And your ad will get displayed in other members' emails. The last thing you can do is put a hyperspace ad on your website which will help you refer other members.

When you refer other members, you will also get a percentage of the credits they earn which will go towards your ad credits.

If someone likes your ad and is interested in what it says, then they click on it and end up on whatever site it was that you were promoting. Now that's targeted traffic! And it was free.

So make sure you visit the link in the resource box to start driving targeted and quality traffic to your website today. It will only take you a couple of minutes to start bringing visitors to your site.

Why Use Google Adsense ?

Why Use Google Adsense ?

Undoubtedly, you've heard about Google's AdSense and you are thinking about giving it a go. But is it really worth placing an AdSense banner on your site?

The answer is a definite yes. You could always have some other banner on your site, or even use some search of affiliate ad program and that would probably make you some money, given of course that your site enjoys a healthy amount of visitors. However with affiliate marketing, it is expected that the visitor from your website completes a sale before you are remunerated.

But that's nowhere near what you get for using AdSense. There are people who earn in excess of 100.000 dollars per year by using AdSense. And it doesn't just stop with making more money. Firstly, the ads are text only. That means they're by far less obtrusive on your visitors then your average, flashy banner that's designed to catch the eye of the visitor.

Sure, you'll have to ensure they get better placement, so as to be noticed but despite that they don't bother viewer’s as much as traditional ads. Think about the many sites you've seen using pop-ups, floating banners and many other schemes that will have visitors screaming in anger every time they visit the said website. You can actually do better then that, annoying people less and still making an amount of money.

Secondly, the ads are generated based on the contents of your site automatically. When you use an affiliate ad program, you have to specify certain categories that your sites belong to.

However, if any page on your site falls outside of these categories, the banners aren't targeted anymore. And what that means is that you're potentially showing ads to people who don't have any interest in them and that can lead to inefficiencies.

With Google AdSense that just about never happens: the ads present on your site will always be in sync with whatever your visitors are interested in and that adds to your site's value and to the revenue it produces.

What's more, the look of these banners and their size is customizable, which means they will feel more integrated with the rest of your site's content, which brings an increase in your site's overall visual quality as opposed to a traditional approach.

For many people, there's also a great problem with finding people to advertise on their site as well. AdSense is clearly the easiest solution available to this problem today.

It's free to join the AdSense program and it almost takes no time at all. The potential database of websites from AdWords is larger then anything you might encounter from any competitor, numbering over 150.000 users. This means as more people compete the CPC or cost per click for search terms will inevitably rise.

Also, setting up AdSense on your site is a breeze, and you can complete the whole process in less then an hour. It takes a lot less to do then any form of affiliate advertising which is yet another reason to choose the easy AdSense approach.

All you need to do is add an AdSense banner on your website (other then registering with the program of course) is to copy & paste a few lines and you're all done, you get to choose where the banners go, how large they are and how they integrate with the rest of your site.

For any webmaster out there, that's a killer scheme because it lets you draw the line between your site's usability level and the amount of advertising you wish to have. Some people need the money badly while others just keep AdSense running to pay for the hosting of their website.

AdSense is a great advertising program because a lot of thought has went into making it "just work for everyone". It works great for the people who use AdWords, for the webmasters using AdSense, and most importantly for the visitors of the websites.

Problem #2 Most people try to sell something to people who can’t sell.

Problem #4 Someone in your downline with Problem #1

This is the vicious cycle of Network Marketing!

Solution #1 A Program that requires no selling.

Solution #2 A guarantee that we all make money.

Solution #3 The people that do sell help the people who can’t sell.Where does that leave you?Solution #4 Someone in your downline with Solution #1

The Home Based MLM Business

Home based MLM business has been around for decades. In fact, it's probably safe to say that virtually all MLM business is, or at least certainly can be, home based.

That's often the beauty of the MLM industry and the primary intrigue for those who join an MLM as a distributor.

The first home based MLM business was Nutralite, which is now a subsidiary of Amway. Nutralite, founded in 1949 by Jay VanAndel and Rich DeVos, was the start of network marketing and the start of the food supplement and vitamin sales industry. In 1959, after long standing internal wrangling between the manufacturing subsidiary and the marketing folks, VanAndel and DeVos decided to create a whole new company as a resolution. This was how Amway, the first national home based MLM business, was formed.

Amway bought the Nutralite product and firm in 1969 and has long retained its title and largest MLM business in the world, home based or otherwise.

Viewing the Amway success, other home based MLM business ventures soon cropped up, including those not so reputable. A scam called the Ponzi scheme, actually developed back in the 1920's, was redesigned to look like an MLM but designed to deliver profit to only the designers and the con artists running the scam. This home based MLM business look alike came to be known as a pyramid scheme.

The basic difference between a legitimate home based MLM business - one that can and does actually reward every hardworking distributor with commissions on the products they sell - and a pyramid scheme is that there is a product that does pay profit to the seller. A pyramid scheme is solely about rewarding those at the top of the pyramid heap.

In a pyramid scheme, which, by the way, is illegal, the scammers lure others to join what they present as a legitimate home based MLM business by telling them of hefty profits quickly and ask that the victim and would-be distributor, send payment for the products to sell. In a true home based MLM business there is also typically an upfront cost for a sample box of products to start selling but those products are legitimate for sale products. In a pyramid scheme, what the would be entrepreneur gets for her or his payment, is the information on how to present other would be distributors with the lure of quick dollars, take their money and send them the very same instructions on luring others. There is no product in a pyramid scheme.

A Great MLM Opportunity

My Prospecting Secrets Revealed!

Let me start off by explaining the biggest benefit of providing your downline members with a viral prospecting system.
It boils down to this...
When you have a viral prospecting system in place for your team members, your downline has the potential to take on a life of its own and continue to grow effortlessly while you're focusing on more important things such as family and friends.
A gentleman I recently discovered managed to accomplish the difficult task of duplication while maintaining his full time job and family life.
He mentioned that ever since the beginning of his online ventures he was searching for a system that brought interested prospects in automatically.
He didn't have time to do the traditional recruiting methods because they required a lot of time and commitment.
What he wanted instead, was a huge downline that duplicated on auto-pilot from his part time efforts.
"But did such a solution exist?"
If it did, he said he couldn't find it...
So after many years of struggling to build a solid residual income through network marketing he decided it was time to take the bull by the horns (so to speak) and he created a 3 step marketing system that literally exploded his downline within a few months.
The part that amazed me the most was the fact that he didn't spend a dime on advertising. And his downline is now over 11,460 strong and growing monthly on auto-pilot.
Ultimately I learned that being a successful sponsor involves providing some type of system that helps people build their business, not sitting around wondering why your downline isn't doing anything.
I guess the quote from Zig Ziglar holds true:
"You can have everything in life you want, if you just help enough other people get what they want."
