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.
Have you been looking for an easy way to meet to new people? In previous posts we have talked about the importance of networking. Take a few moments and look around your favorite Traffic Exchange. You will find that these you have options readily available to you.
Do you use downline builders? Why not? The resource is there. If you enjoy a particular exchange, take the few minutes and sign up for a program, it will help build integrity within the community. Those features are there for a reason. They are there for you!
Does your favorite exchange have a downline mailer? Now this is a resource that you should certainly not be overlooking. Think about it. They promote and they are active. Can you think of someone else you want to be emailing. Take the time to get know your downline. Like I have said before…that next future jv may just be a click away! Network,Network,Network!
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.
Are you using your time wisely? Are you getting to know the people you work next to?
Whether your just a surfer or just using the TE industry to buy credits. One thing is king. NETWORK.
Take the time to send your downline an email. Take a minute to introduce yourself to your favorite TE owner. Building these relationships is a very important task if you want to newtork. I try to put myself in positions with all different types of people. Mainly because I enjoy getting to meet new people, but I also love to network and build relationships. I owe a lot of my success to my ability to get myself out in front of people and put myself into positions to where I can get the advice I need. It has greatly helped me and it can absolutely do the same for you.
So next time someone takes a moment to stop and say hi or sends you some credits for signing up underneath them, send a reply back…..you never know who is on the other end and what they may be able to do to help you succeed.

Well in addition to the post about splash pages. You will find that building an opt in/squeeze page can be highly effective when you are using custom graphics. Combine that with good ad copy and you will quickly start to see an increase in sign ups and sales.
Make sure that you are using an auto-responder such as Aweber. It’s powerful functions allow for you to get the most out of your campaigns. Promote your opt in page/squeeze page in places where you can get lots of veiwers. Remember, someone needs to see your ad as many times as possible. It’s proven that it take the average viewer to see your ad almost 7 times before they will even think about clicking on it. So utilize large member exchanges and very active traffic exchanges like Traffic Taxis, for maximum results!
I want to really start to focus on expressing the importance of splash pages. We all know that we need to do it. Take a good look around and you will see that the people that are successful are the one’s practicing the art of custom ads and branding.
Let’s put into perspective. You see someone promoting a common affiliate page. It’s the same one you see time and time again. You see it so much that you don’t even give it a chance. You just wait for the green light and then click..it’s gone. How are you suppose to stick out from the crowd? Ask yourself that question and really give yourself an honest answer.
Now think about the kind of pages that grab your attention. Think about the programs you sign up for.
Did that page grab your attention because it was different? You need to start asking yourself these questions. All you are doing when you promote the “common” affiliate page is helping out someone else. You are wasting your efforts to brand someone else. Promote you FIRST!

It seems that no matter which way one turns, we are always being reminded of the saying, “the money is in the list”. I know how hard it is to get a solid grasp on that concept. I had so many unanswered questions myself. I searched high and low. I googled every single keyword I could think of to help find the answers.
Throughout my search, and believe me it was a long one. I bought my fair share of the “Make Millions” ebooks. I tried everything. It’s a common misconception by some that you can make a million dollars overnight. There is no such thing as a “just set it and forget it” system. Internet Marketing is an extremely demanding job. It requires a lot of patience and a lot of work. Yes I said it, work! But, with the proper discipline and technique, making a comfortable living online, is very achievable. Let’s start with a few of the basics.
I’m sure that what I just mentioned above will shy some people away. Like I said before. Internet Marketing is work.
