Relevent To Advertising

Filed under: Traffic Taxis Blog — Tags: email header, hit exchange, Internet Marketing, subject lines — David Foley @ 2:29 am

Over the last few months I have come to see the ups and downs of activity here at Traffic Taxis. It has been a certain conclusion that activity is relevent to how much advertising I’m doing. What may work for some may not work for others, but in my case if I’m not advertising, I’m not staying on your mind. If I’m not writing creatively, I see the effects.

I think that people should really start to see that if your gonna take your marketing seriously and want to make forward progress, you have got to keep yourself out there. If you have a mailing list, keep yourself in front of them. If you provide valuable information or a great service, people will be more likely to open up your email instead of the next one in line. Want a hint? Use clever subject lines. I make it my goal to never ever repeat my subject line.

A subject line should just be enough to trigger curiousity and make that person feel compelled to open that email. You will find almost all too often that people give away all their eggs in the subject line. If you tell me exactly what it is that is in the email in the subject line. I click delete. No point in reading your email. I already know what’s in it. You just told me! Think about that next time you see a Taxis email.

So make sure you keep your ads always rotating. You have gotta stay constant, and utilize your resources to stay out in front of people. Be creative, be yourself and stay out there.

Are you tracking your ad?

Filed under: David's Posts — Tags: affiliates, build your list, free website traffic, tracking — David Foley @ 4:08 am

Have you ever asked yourself the question? Where do all the successful people on the internet get their information?

If you have, then good on you? If you haven’t, then you’d better start. People who have any sign of success are the people that use the resources that are available to them.

There are so many of them out there and over the next several weeks I’m going to be saying it over and over again. Get yourself out there! Use these tools.

Do you track your ads? I sure hope so. How do you know where your results or sign ups are coming from? Sure you may be able to guess slightly, if you only advertise is one place and one place only.

Let’s say for example you advertise at 3 different TE’s. Your getting a few sign ups and your happy about it. Which one of those TE’s is actually getting you those sign ups? It’s not much of a mystery to know
that different TE’s will get better results than others depending on the TE and depending on the product or program your pushing.

That’s why we use more than one and that’s why we use certain ones depending on the products we are selling. What sells at one TE may not sell at another. You get the idea though. Track your ads. We say it over and over because it is so critical. Playing a guessing game will not make you money. It will
cost you money and could very easily cost you your success.

I am in the process of writing a short ebook on the steps I took and the places I went to obtain the information that I needed to build my business. But let me share with you a few links that will certainly help guide you to success.

If you still haven’t signed up here…shame on you. Affiliate Funnel WILL help you.
And it’s FREE!

I use HitsConnect to track all my advertising. You can even track
your text link and banner clicks. Gotta use this. If you use my link
you will receive a 30% discount and penny for penny, one of the best
sales on the internet. If you do not use this link you will pay full price.

Branding Whats So Difficult?

Filed under: FireRider — Tags: advertise, Brand Yourself, branding, Internet Marketing, marketing — firerider @ 3:12 am

Day after day while surfing the exchanges, I’m always amazed and sigh with disbelief. I wonder, what is it going to take, when will people learn?

Over the 12 months of my working on the Internet I have seen some huge changes and very few moving with those changes. I have read countless articles, have posted articles everywhere on the values and importance of branding yourself. It is now, more than ever, vital for your growth in Internet Marketing, to brand yourself first.

Branding yourself helps others get to know you and realize what a great person you are. It helps others to see you are here to assist them, not rip them off. It also shows you are some one who knows what they are doing and if you don’t know something you are prepared to do the research to find out.

My Problem Is

Now here’s my dilemma, branding yourself has been shouted everywhere and possibly even from the roof tops….. and yet what do I see…… I see loads and loads of advertising posted by who Knows,,,,I see the odd branded page well no there are several out there but not too many by comparison to the number of marketers, out in Internet Land.

However, most of the people that that use branding pages use the ones provided by the company they are promoting..

WHY??
How does that make you different, you are just showing your name recommending that company. That is not making you unique, which in my opinion, what branding is all about. Branding is about making a statement. What sort of statement are you making when you use the same branding page as 50 others. To me it says my name is,,,,,,,,,RAY,,,,,,,,,, and I am the same as 50 other people trying to flog this off to you.
No! A real branding page is unique because you are unique, a real branding page makes a statement about you, Yes! I am…….RAY…….. and I am going places.

So for some fun, if I was to ask you, what you would have on you branding page or how would you set you own page up. How are you different…

Would you leave a response for me…. Because at the moment I am very discouraged with what I am seeing in the way of advertising and feel that some how things need to be revolutionized. That is a major change in our thinking is needed but also a follow up with action.

So lets see some action leave me a response tell me what would you do and how would you have your personal branding page put together.
At least we have started something, we have started thinking on the right track.

Branding yourself will bring big results and hopefully some will move from the thinking to taking action. Yes Branding yourself is a winner.

Keep on Keepin’ on

Filed under: Traffic Taxis Blog — Tags: internet marketers, networking, traffice xchange — David Foley @ 9:19 pm

If you get knocked down. Get up, dust yourself off and keep on keepin’ on!

We have all had our trials and errors through life and Internet Marketing isn’t any different. Trying to find success on the internet isn’t as pretty as it may seem. That’s why networking and helping people out is so important. You never know who the next “star” may be. It very well could be that man or that woman you just sent a nice email to, or that program owner that you lended your hand to. Or even better, YOU!

Help your fellow marketer. It can only help you in the long run. You never know when you may need help with a current project or when you need someone to turn to for advice. Don’t let people get you down. There is only one person that will ultimately help you succeed, and that person is you.

So next time someone tells you that you can’t do something. Do yourself a favor and work that much harder to prove them wrong. In the end you will be the one that reaps the benefits.

The Power Of Network Branding

Filed under: FireRider — Tags: Brand Yourself, branding, forums, learn to network, networking, places to network, traffic exchange — firerider @ 7:35 am

In any Industry, Marketplace or even amongst friends, it’s great to find out that others are talking about you, particularly if it’s all good, but what makes others talk about us?

Make a mistake in front of one of your so called friends then wait and see……Words like a thousand fine silken strands virally reach out in the wind and echoes in the ears of all who are close. This web or net has caught all in its reach and you are the center of attention. You made the mistake, now everyone knows. It didn’t take long. Sadly, due to your error you became the center of a type of networking, people informing people, about you.

Imagine harnessing this power, to have some kind of control or rather influence with what floated out in the winds of the Internet touching the ears of others, this time to promote yourself as the right type of person to be around. One who cares and looks towards the advantages of others, first. Well you can! This is called branding, Branding yourself by sending out fine threads tying people together directing them back to you. This by its very nature is creating a net or group of people, by introducing yourself, listening, answering and assisting your contacts allowing them to get to know you on a personal level helps to establish you as an authority in your chosen field.

This is Network Branding, but I really do not know enough to be any sort of an authority, how can I ever help others??

Understanding How You Can Assist Others

The first thing I suggest is join one or two forums, if you already haven’t. Go straight to the introduction page say high to everyone. It’s fairly much like sending an Email you’re directed to an Email type page with a header and a body box. Write your… Hey this is who I am and where I’m from, I am looking forward to getting to know you…. Keep it warm and friendly, then press enter or go to a button on the page that says post, click it and their you have it. You have taken your first step to branding yourself with a group of like minded people.

Answer those who welcome you so they see you’re a friendly person. Set up your profile; be honest in telling others a little about yourself. Have a look around the site, look for others who write and post questions, if you know the answer provide a no strings attached answer, if you don’t then research the answer in Google, then go back and provide the answer leave your name and user name. Others will read your answers and start thinking you know what your talking about and you do, because if you don’t have an answer to assist you go out and research it. That’s power you possess to say yes I do have some idea on that because I researched and found the answer for myself.

There are many places to network and the principals apply to anyone you ever meet, your referred members to your business and even at places such as a Traffic Exchange. Be open, not pushy, allow people come to you…and they will. Slowly others become to see your worth start trusting you and asking you personally for assistance. You are becoming a Powerful Network marketer because you are doing what it takes to reach out assisting others and letting them get to know you on a personal level.
You have Powered Yourself with Network Branding.

Branded To Drive

Filed under: FireRider — Tags: Brand Yourself, branding, finding customers, learn marketing, promote yourself, traffic — firerider @ 5:27 pm

Traffic is the single most important ingredient, if you hope to be recognized to
do anything on the Internet. It doesn’t matter how good you are at your
desired business, without traffic (visitors to your site) nothing will happen.
It’s been said that there are 3 types of marketers in the world. There are those
who make things happen, there are those who watch things happen and all to
many, particularly in the world of Internet Marketing, Wonder What Happened.

As for the third group, this is generally the case because the face of the Internet
changes so quickly it becomes very difficult to keep up with and even more so If
you are new. Not only does one need to learn the Hows, Whats, when, where, who
and whys of the Net, they also must learn to get ahead of the changes and stay
their.

This is hard enough even for the experienced marketer, let alone for the Newbie.
So what can be done? How can one get ahead and establish themselves as a
successful Internet Marketer?
The very first thing required to become recognized, is summed up in one word and
that is…Branding.

Branding or labeling primarily yourself, by a constant stream of advertising your
face and name everywhere as often as you can. Why? So your potential
customers see you, realize your authority and learn to trust you.

A good example can be seen in door to door sales, which more often has a very
poor success rate. However, contact a good friend who has learned to trust you,
as over a period of time you have gotten to know each other and they realize you
are an authority on the product your selling. Generally the sale is made for that
reason. That Is Branding. You are branded by your friend as a Trusted authority
because they know you over time. That is a must do If we are to be successful
on the Internet. We Must Brand Ourselves!

How Networking can Increase Your sales

Filed under: Mike's Corner — Tags: Add new tag, free, networking, traffic, traffic exchange, traffic taxis — mdallen @ 3:04 pm

Does it ever seem like you are trying to do it all by yourself? You get great traffic from Traffic Taxis but you know there must be even more out there? Your not alone. Many have felt this way. When I want to promote the Top traffic exchanges, or even new ones like traffic taxis I use Squeeze Pages. There is another post on this site about those.

I learned alot about squeeze pages and how to build squeeze pages and different tactics on building my traffic exchange downlines by networking. Simply put I found a place where people would talk about what was and was not working when trying to promote traffic exchanges like traffic taxis and othere great exchanges. I wanted free traffic and networking with traffic owners and surfers helped me to get the results I was looking for.

What was really neat is that the networking helped me to find out what tools I needed, where to get them and all the advice (from 6 figure earners by the way) was free. They answered my questions and helped me out for free. The place to get all this free advice on how to network, and get free traffic from traffic exchanges like traffic taxis and others you may be promoting is Affiliate Funnel.

Do Text Links Really Work?

Filed under: Traffic Taxis Blog — Tags: branding, text links, traffic exchange — David Foley @ 10:43 pm

If you think text links are a waste of time…think again. How many times have you clicked on a text link? Being a TE owner, I get to see what people use for text links and I also get to see how many clicks they get. Believe me, if you think for a second that people don’t click them…your dead wrong.

Do yourself a favor and take advantage of the exposure. Those of you that use them will be increasing your advertising immensely! Be creative. Try different things. Why not brand yourself with them? You will soon learn to really appreciate the effectiveness of these sometimes overlooked advertising tools.
