Wow, I’ve never set up a campaign this fast before!
Filed under: Autoresponders, Downline Builders, Ebooks, Email Series, Squeeze pages
I’ve been playing with the 30 Minute Marketing System, and it is pretty fast and good, and versatile too. You can set up a campaign about anything you like in 30 minutes, there’s even a video which shows you how, you can find the link in the back of the ebook (click here to download it now).
Then I found Get Referrals Fast and heard that I could set up an entire campaign, squeeze page, emails and all in 7 minutes! I like clever systems so I decided to check it out and sure enough, it works as stated!
This is how it works:
- Log in to GetReferralsFast and add your links to the downline builder.
- Go to affiliate toolbox, choose the link you want to promote, and get the autoresponder details for that link. This includes 3 signature URLs and download codes for your email series.
- Log in to TrafficWave, create a new campaign, and enter the 3 sig URLs.
- Go to Letters and Retrieve the campaign which has already been set up, using the access codes from GetReferralsFast, then proofread your letters.
- Go back to GetReferralsFast and enter your campaign name in the downline builder area.
- Grab your squeeze page URL, and promote!
You can see a video of the process here:

I’ve only just started so I can’t tell you how well my squeeze pages convert, but here are two you can look at if you are interested:
http://getreferralsfast.com/GRF/index.php?rid=464 (this is the free one)
http://getreferralsfast.com/10TELAWS/index.php?rid=464 (upgrade to get this one, and about 6 or 7 others. Looks like a new one has just been added, so I assume Mike Paetzold and friends will continue to create new content here.)
Which would I recommend? It depends on what you want to achieve. If you want no-fuss push-button list building I recommend Get Referrals Fast. If you like to do your own thing and use your own ideas then the 30 Minute Marketing System is ideal.
Both systems will help you to use and promote your TrafficWave autoresponder.
I Learned a Good Marketing Trick Today
I attended Joe Sansoucie and Rex Harris’ online webinar today, and learned a good tip which I’ll tell you about farther down.
I love these guys’ seminars, this is the second one I’ve been to and each time I’ve come away feeling encouraged and inspired, and with some practical advice which I can take away and use right now.
The webinars are on daily Monday through Friday at 10a.m. PST and are free to attend.
To get in to the seminars, you need to join Joe’s site Superb Text Advertising. You will find the link to the webinar in the main members area. If you have the funds to take up the OTO, I highly recommend it. I’ve got a whopping 3 million credits in my account, between the OTO and the promo code which Joe gave me. If you take up the OTO, contact me and I’ll send you the promo code as well!
So here’s the tip:
Put a “tag ad” at the top and bottom of your safelist emails. Something as simple as
***********************************************************
Instant Splash – fast, easy, and 50% commissions!

***********************************************************
In the seminar, Rex even showed how to sell that ad space in your emails, which is great if you do a lot of safelist advertising. It took him about 10 minutes to create a splash page to sell the ad space, a PayPal button, a thank you page and an autoresponder email. It was done live online so all the steps could be seen.
This is practical and useful training, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is building their list or doing any kind of online marketing.

Keeping a clear head in the chaos
So, you’ve just bought a new ebook or system and you are just getting started using it, and promoting it, when you get an email telling you about the next hot product … and in that email the promoter tells you how great it is, and how well you can build your list or make sales or whatever if you own this great product.
So you buy it. You even take the expensive upgrade. And then you find that it doesn’t actually give you anything very different from what you had before. And you are not even all that sure how to use it… and you feel let down and confused and not very smart.
Has this happened to you?
What can you do to keep your focus and build your confidence in this dynamic, constantly changing traffic exchange marketing world?
Here are some suggestions:
1. Trust yourself. Making people feel that they are not good enough, don’t have enough, is part of the advertising game. Advertisers get you doubting yourself, and then they offer you a solution – their marvelous product. You get it in exchange for giving away a part of your trust in yourself. Don’t fall for it.
2. Buy on your own terms. Do you have a use for it? Can you afford it? Does it work for your personal style? Do you think it would be easy to sell to your target market? If so then buy it, but if not then go back to point #1.
3. Relax. Over time you will realize that your favorite promoters will be equally excited over some other product next week, and yet another one the week after. They get exposed to a lot of great products but only you can decide which ones are a good fit for you.
4. Notice how you feel. If a product looks good on the surface but you get a bad feeling in your stomach when you look at it, then pass. On the other hand if you feel excited about the possibilities then check it out, you may discover something that works great for you.
If you can stay centred you will have a lot of fun on the traffic exchanges. If not you will end up lost and confused. It is up to you (and it’s not easy).
Even Free Members Get to Rebrand This Excellent Program!
Filed under: Downline Builders, Ebooks, Monetize Your List, Squeeze pages, Viral Marketing
I’ve just joined John Guanzon’s new program, TE Reports (as a free member) and guess what?
I was able to rebrand the downline builder with my links!
How cool is that?
So now I’ve got a way to promote a dozen of the best ebooks around with one simple link, and a free squeeze page if I want to build my list with this system.
And if I had chosen to upgrade, I would have had a very professional looking set of squeeze pages and matching email series to promote any of the books individually.
But I can always buy them one by one in the members area when I am ready, they will just cost a bit more.
How does this help you?
Ebooks can make you money, even if you haven’t been able to rebrand very many of them yet.
Anything which helps you to promote them virally is a good thing.
And if you can join for free, why not?
So check it out if you like, here’s the link:
Now you don’t have to get complicated with this, even if all you do is sign up, fill in the downline builder and add a note to your email series, that should bring you a benefit over time.

TrafficWave is hot at the moment and I’m sure a lot of people have jumped on the income stream without thinking too much about what they will do with their autoresponder.

Enter your details to learn how it works, no obligation and no cost, and you can join even if you have an existing TW account.
3. TE Profits – this system will show you how to use your TrafficWave autoresponder to build your list and make money even before anyone joins your main business.

Keeping up your spirits on the hamster wheel
A couple of years ago I was surfing the traffic exchanges 12 or more hours a day, the money was really tight, and it looked like I was getting nowhere.
(That was before I’d learned about splash pages, branding and list building, so I was struggling along, promoting standard affiliate pages, getting thousands of views and no signups.)
My life had taken a severe downturn after some bad events, and with one thing and another I ended up feeling like God/The Universe/All That… was definitely not interested in my well-being.
So there I was, surfing like mad, feeling like a hamster on an exercise wheel but not knowing how to change anything. And yet I had this immense drive to keep on going.
Then I came across this little website with a free ebook and it really helped me to see money and survival in a different way. Somehow reading this little book broke the downward cycle, gave me new hope and confidence in my ability to make money and have what I want in my life, and also in my right to have it. I’ve managed to improve my life a lot since then.
The name of the website is Science of Getting Rich. You can get copies of the ebook in many places, but I really recommend this site because they will give you lots of caring support as well as the book, with a members forum, email newsletters, beautiful motivational and inspiring screen saver and more.
So if you are feeling desperate, working too hard, not getting where you want to be, I really recommend this site to you. Once you are feeling better your results will improve too.
p.s. yes it’s an affiliate link… but in two years I’ve never made a sale here, that’s not what it’s about for me with this site.
An Easier Splash Page Maker, and it’s Free!
I’m in love with TE Toolbox, but yes, it can be a bit complicated… so I’ve been wondering what I can offer to my members who need an easier solution for creating splash and squeeze pages.
I think I have found exactly the right thing with Carl Bailey’s Instant Splash.
It’s simple and easy to use, and the features available to free members are excellent.
You can make splash and squeeze pages in seconds.
Can’t handle dealing with an autoresponder? No problem. Use Carl’s mini responder until you are ready for more serious business.
Want to know how many clicks you got? Just check your stats.
It’s easy as pie, and quite versatile.
Upgraded members can add “real” autoresponder form code if they want, and they can use the system to automatically get referrals at TrafficWave and Buckets of Banners (this feature to be added very soon).
There are no OTOs (One Time Offers) so you can sign up for free, check it out, and upgrade at your leisure.
7 Things You Can You Do when Your Ads are Not Working
It’s the typical marketing dilemma, you think you’ve got a great product, you’ve put your ads in rotation, and nobody is signing up…
Here are seven things you can do to improve your results:
- Use and understand your product. This will put you streets ahead of the copy and paste promoters becaused you will know what really is great about your product, and you can use that knowledge in your advertising. (And yes, this can be quite a challenge when you are new to the scene.)
- Create your own advertising. Most affiliates will be using the standard splash pages. Make your own splash page. Use a promotional image from the site, but create your own headline to go with it. Bring attention to something about the product which the standard splash page does not mention, but which people will relate to. You might appeal to a smaller cross section, but they will be people who would not have considered the product until you brought up your point about it – and they are the ones who will click on your link.
- Don’t advertise more products than you have credits for. To be effective, you need to have your ad rotating 24/7 on your favorite traffic exchanges. This won’t happen if you have 10 or 15 ads, and you surf an hour a day…
- Give your ads a fair chance. Big promoters with money for credits will give their ads 10,000 views before they decide one way or the other. If you can’t afford that, give your ad at least 1000 views at your best exchange. And track your results in some way.
- Try banners and text ads. These can be effective. If your banner is eye-catching then it will get the clicks. You can even make your own.
- Is there an ebook which promotes your product? Rebrand it with your links, and give it away – on a splash page, a squeeze page, in a giveaway event, with banners and text ads. You’ll be promoting all the links in your book with one hit.
- Last but not least, be willing to give up on a dud. No matter how much you like the idea, if people are not buying then you are better off promoting something else.
So what does Tony Tezak say in his new ebook?
Tony Tezak’s newly launched ebook Traffic Exchange Solutions is all over the traffic exchanges. Have you read it yet? Have you been wondering what he says?
Here is my favourite quote:
“Using traffic exchanges, I successfully built one list to over 2400 in one year. Not a bad effort considering I was not a program owner. My income during that time nearly tripled.“ (This was Tony’s first list in 2007, when he was already a successful downline builder in various programs.)
Why do I like this quote? Because Tony is a real guy who built his business on traffic exchanges. If he did it, then so can I and so can you!
The information in the book is basic, anyone can use it. You don’t need to be a guru or a techno geek (Tony certainly isn’t one himself). It’s just experience, focus and common sense.
Tony will tell you how he picks the traffic exchanges he advertises on, how he gets people to sign up to his opportunities, what he does to stand out from the crowd, and more…
