Making Up on the Internet

I'm going to talk to you about a product that's a horse of a different color for me. It's about relationships. That's a scary word for a single guy. Even though I'm an affiliate for this product I feel like I'm doing it as a favor for a friend. "The Magic of Making Up" was written by Travis Sago for people trying to save their relationships. It took him six months to write it and he thinks it's the best product out there to help these people. Now I haven't been in a relationship for a long time, but I sure could have used Travis' book when I was on a streak of breaking up with every girlfirend I ever had. Travis has given me so much help and advice lately that I feel like I owe him one and I have no problem plugging something that is doing such a good job of helping people.

This book has been out now for almost two years and every day Travis gets at least three testimonials about how it helped someone. I mean, it actually works and saves relationships! Wow! That's something I have no problem hyping and marketing because I know it works and it helps people. I've included a video where Travis reads some unsolicited testimonials to show how he's really helped some people put their relationships back together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqEa0IBovLU&feature=player_embedded.

You may not be having any problems with your relationship or you might not even be in a relationship right now like me. But almost everyone of us knows someone who is going through a divorce or a breakup and doesn't want to lose the one they love. For anyone in that situation please take the time to check out the website and the videos to see if this is something that might help you.

Multitasking on the Internet

Believe it or not I'm multitasking right  now. In fact, I searched to see if multitasking had a hyphen  in it while making a phone call and surfing for credits on a safelist. Everyday on the Internet I find myself doing a mulitude of things, some simultaneously. With the power of the Internet it's possible. I've mentioned surfing for Safelist credits before how you can get 1000 credits a day easily if you just start early and periodically visit that site during the day. Sometimes I'll be writing something and come across some term I need to research or just look up the spelling. I just open another window, take care of that task and go back to writing. I look at the Internet sometimes as my own private library. I can read a book or a newspaper there, write something and even have a quiet conversation with someone, all without leaving my bedroom. Did I mention I eat breakfast while reading my emails?

Don't Pay Full Price For That Internet Business!

WAIT! Don't pay full price for that Internet business! I know sometimes while surfing you see an offer that's too good to be true. A lot of them are. Even so, you can't wait to whip out your credit card and start giving them that sixteen digit figure. Before you do that be sure to do a little research and check to see if it's a scam. Then if you think it's legitamite.... play hard to get. One time I saw a good offer but just didn't want to spend that much money. I decided to press the back button and that's when an interesting thing happened. A popup appeared that said something like "Wait a minute! Don't leave! We'll give you a discount!" It was a nice discount, but I still didn't want to buy so I clicked the back button again. To my surprise another popup appeared with another discount! I've seen some products discounted as much as 66% just because of this technique. So never pay the full price before trying to leave the website. You might get a significant discount off the original offer. Some only offer the discount once, others up to three times before they give up on you. Not every site offers a discount, but it's certainly worth checking out to see if you can get one and sometimes they even throw in a bonus or two to sweeten the deal. Take it from an Internet business bargain hunter. Don't pay full price unless you have to!

Twitter Tips for Making Money on the Internet

I'm going to give you some Twitter tips for making money on the Internet and how to make your Twitter experience more rewarding financially. But first, you need to give your profile an overhaul and make it professional and focused on one or more specific niches. You need to make up your mind on what kind of audience you want to communicate with and what they might need or desire that you can help them with. Once you do those things you can start researching and recruiting your loyal followers. Here are some good links to check out:

Tweet daily and keep it focused on your niche. Quotes are good for the AM to give people inspiration for the day and something entertaining for the evening like a video. If you limit your Tweets to 120 characters, then people can retweet (RT) your message to others. Try to end conversations with a question or at least keep them open ended inviting a response. Be sure to delete those who aren't following you so you don't have a lot of dead weight on your followers list. Make a list of messages you want to Tweet so you can go to it and easily plug one in each day. Don't blatantly sell or spam. People who are interested in you will check out your profile and will see a link to your website or blog. If some product or service is genuinely working for you and you're enthusiastic about it, then share that. If you build relationships first you'll be building sales for the future.

Safelist Surfing on the Internet

Surfing Safelists is a little different than surfing on Traffic Exchanges. It's a little more work but it's more rewarding too. With Safelist surfing you look at a series of ads and then after clicking a link to get credit you are shown the actual website. Sometimes it's not easy to spot where the link is in a busy ad and the links vary in size and style. After clicking the link it also takes time for the website to load and then you have to click on the box at the top of your screen to see it. After that you have another time period 10-20 seconds depending on the site, to wait until you get your credits. A message pops up to tell you that you got your credits and then you delete that ad and go to the next one.
Sound like a lot of work? Well, some safelists don't give you a lot of credits for your work either. The best I've found is Elite. They give you 45 credits for viewing a website for 15 seconds.  That means when you exchange your credits you can send your ad to 45 people. Like Traffic Exchanges, you don't have to sit there hour after hour tediously clicking to get your credits. You can just set up one Safelist and go to it periodically throughout a session on the Internet as a change of pace and before you know it you've got several hundred more credits to use. I've only been surfing a handful of Safelists and I've seen lots of ads for other ones. They may run a special to get you started, but make sure that you're rewarded for your time and are not too limited when exchanging your credits. You can upgrade later if you want for a small monthly fee.

Internet Hobo

As one travels along the Internet Highway one is bound to encounter a bum or two on the way. Yesturday I found one named Travis Sago. Actually he's a pretty nice guy considering that he created a marketing system with me in mind. It's called the "Bum Marketing System" and best of all, it's free. As I once heard a millionaire exclaim, "If it's free, it's me!" He is so confident in his system that he thinks he could take any bum off the street, set him in front of a computer at a library, and teach him to make money in no time at all. Well I'm not living on the streets, but when my unemployment runs out who knows? I'm going to give Travis's system a whirl to market a hot new product that just came out on Clickbank. He seems genuinely interested in helping people succeed by helping newbies like myself understand keyword research, SEO (Search Engine Opitimization) and Google rankings. It's only a three page report, but it packs a punch. All you have to do is enter your email and he'll send you the report immediately. Check it out at:

Social Media Marketing on the Internet

I've read a lot recently and attended some webinars on social media and how to use it for marketing. Sometimes technology moves so fast it leaves people behind. I was just getting use to email when Twitter and Facebook came around. Now I'm hearing about how people aren't emailing anymore and texting and tweeting are the hot way to communicate. If you can develop and large following on either Twitter or facebook, then you have a audience that trusts you that you can market to. The key is to continually provide quality content to keep your audience entertained and loyal.  I'll get into more specifics in later blogs, but the buzz is jump onboard now while the wave is building for the ride of your life.

Traffic Exchange Surfing Tips

I've been surfing on five different Traffic Exchanges lately and it doesn't take long to find out a few things. Some TEs will give you one credit for each site you visit while others only give you a fraction of that, like 1/3. Some will give you bonus credits to begin with while others don't. It doesn't matter which one you choose, it's a long, boring, time consuming drag to sit there and surf for hours to get a few credits. You wait maybe 15-20 seconds and then you are presented with a test like matching a number or choosing the highest number. Then when you simply click on the right one you get a credit and you're presented with a new site to view. One thing I have discovered is that you can surf for several TEs at the same time. All you have to do is log on to the web several times and select a TE to surf on each connection. At the bottom of your screen you can just click another connection, click on the right number or symbol, and then click on the bottom of the screeen for a different TE. Or you can do what I did while typing this blog, that is periodically go to the TE and click for a credit while you're doing something else on the web. I added four or five credits while I typed this blog. Eventually you trade your credits to have your website shown on the TE.

Information Overload

It's funny. I've been doing a ton of surfing lately and I don't mean the kind where you have to wear sunblock. I've seen so many offers in the past few days while surfing Traffic Exchanges and viewing Safelist ads that the program I am currently promoting seems to pale in comparison. Some of the ads I view play music in the background while you're reading their ad. Jazz is my favorite along with steel drum music. I signed up with something called "Internet Website Traffic" which is designed to make your website marketing campaign go viral so you'll see a banner for that here soon. Even if my $6 program fails to generate any cash by the end of the month I will have gained a solid marketing foundation in Traffic Exchanges and Safelists to promote a good program that will succeed.

All this is a means to an end. My main goal in Internet marketing is to be involed in Arbitage, specifically joining The Arbitage Conspiracy. That is where you set up campaigns for programs that develop leads (emails, zips, etc.) and then use PPC to keep them high in the Google rankings. People are making insane money doing this, but the training costs about $2,000. I could make payments, but that starts at $800 and that's almost one month's rent. If I could just start several arbitage campaigns they alone could prove me with monthly income enough to pay all my bills and then some. And then it's on to Real Estate.

A Cheap Way To A Million $?

I just started a new program entitled $6 X 6 Million. It only cost $7.99 to start and pays me $6 for everyone who joins. I don't know where they got the idea that a million or six million people would want to join this program. Of course if a million people joined I would get $6 million. I've seen a few programs like this before where after you pay you are sent to a homepage that is all inclusive. By that I mean that everything that you're going to get is on this page. There is no support phone number or email. There isn't even a mailing address. They did include a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list with answers, but customers can get no help if they have other questions or problems. They did include quite a few links for free advertising, but I'm using other sources that they don't list so I won't be competing with the other members. On the Safelists I've joined I haven't seen a single ad yet for this program (except my own) so I guess that's good. One other thing about this program is they only pay once a month instead of once a week. I have until the end of the month for the cutoff to be paid in mid-November so I'll check my stats on October 31st to see how I did. It might not have been the nest choice right now, but it was cheap and who doesn't have $8? This will be the first time I have used Safelists and Traffic Exchanges to market so it's also a cheap way to test them and see how they work. Here is the link:

A Moment of Silence For Clickbank Pirate

I just canceled my account with Clickbank Pirate and requested a refund. After almost two months I not only had zero sales but no email address captures either. It seemed that anything I did to market was in competiton with all the other "Pirates". Now I have several options available to me so I will do some exploring on the Internet and report back.
