Alternative Marketing from the Underground

Trafficera is “the subject” among traffic exchange owners and users. Jon Olson, the Traffic Exchange Guy, mentioned in the latest issue of Hit Exchange News there are seven threads about trafficera. Jon even alludes to some marketing genius behind Logiscape’s decision to roll out features over a two week period.

Mike Paetzold, the bald old guy, thinks differently. Mike post about trafficera says:

“It started when I signed up and couldn’t spend a dime. What??? All this anticipation for two months and an announced launch date and you couldn’t use it? Sorry, Logiscape you lost me there.”

trafficera upgrades have been delayed to 3:00PM PST on January 23, 2008 at the earliest.

I was really looking forward to upgrading as I feel trafficera will bring hordes of new subscribers to my How to Get Outstanding Results from Traffic Exchange e-course.

Well I have to just have to wait some more.

In the meanwhile, you can still join trafficera and if you are one of the next 19 readers I will build and host a trafficera splash page so you can start building your trafficera downline provided you join from my trafficera link.

Your trafficera splash page will look like this one except it will have your name and referral link.

Trafficera launched on Sunday to much fanfare, hoopla and some disappointment.

I was hanging around the SWAT Captain’s Room with Jon Olson, Soren Jordansen, Paul Kinder, Robert Puddy, Tina Sparby and several other traffic exchange owners and users. We waited and waited and waited some more as the trafficera index page told us to stand by.

Finally, trafficera launched. But you couldn’t upgrade, buy credits or surf. You can refer other people, join groups, take part in discussions and start blogging.

Now you can join teams and upgrade your membership.

But trafficera has only one banner and no splash pages to build your downline.

Downline building is critical to your success with trafficera.

Well, I will personally build splash pages for the first twenty readers to join trafficera under my link. I will host them until trafficera provides members with splash pages.or one month whatever comes first.

Here is what your trafficera splash page will look like.

I will personally add your name and referral link. you can advertise these splash pages on other traffic exchanges

Here is the link you need to use to join.

I am pretty sure you are getting sick and tired of hearing the money is in the list, right?

People keep on telling you this because it is true. However, most people don’t tell you exactly how to go about about building list.

Well, that[’s changed.

I just published my first lens on Squidoo where I share the resources, tools and places I use to build my lists.

Check out my Beginner’s List Building lens.

Charles Trippy’s viral videos are better than nearly every single other video on Utube. But that really isn’t saying very much.To be perfectly frank with you, Trippys video’s are only a couple steps above the crap you see on America’s Funniest Home Videos.

Charles, ever hear of a dolly? How about a pan? Do you know what a jib is? Hint: These are film making terms regarding camera movement.

Note: Hey listen up all you wanna be viral video makers. Get off your ass and move the freaking camera. Just doing so will make you a better video maker than almost everybody else out there making viral videos.

Having said all that I really don’t wanna pick on Charles because nobody else seems to using film making techniques that were only invented, oh, eighty years ago either.

If you want to learn how cameras are used in real movies then I urge to read Setting up Your Shots and Digital Filmmaking 101.

By now, you’ve probably seen at least one, if not hundreds, of ads for Russell Brunson’s recently released report, The IM-Myth. No wonder, Russell is paying everybody who downloads the report, before October 9th ,2007, one dollar for everybody else they refer and 50 cents on the second level.

I am sure the possibility of big commissions has many people hoping to introduce the report to somebody with a big list of internet marketers. If a list owner, you referred, signed up three hundred people you would get $150.00 in second tier commissions just from that one list.

You know, it is all well and good to talk about the money. Unfortunately, no one is talking about what’s inside the report. In a way, it’s a crying shame, as the report is one of the better free reports you will ever get your hands on. So, let’s talk about what’s inside the report right now.

We’ll start with Internet Marketing Myth.

You might think the report is another “death of” type report. Be rest assured, it is not. No, the report deals with taking your business to higher level by incorporating offline marketing with your online endeavours.

Russell writes; “The myth is that internet marketing is a business. The internet is not a business. The internet is a type of media (just like radio and TV) that can be used to generate leads VERY quickly for your business.”

Inside the report, you will find a seven step system that does just that.

First of all, you quickly separate the freebie seekers from hot motivated prospects using a modified two step advertising system .

Once you know who your real prospects are, you get them to pay your marketing expenses by using the methods outlined in the second step. One of these expenses is automating your offline follow up series. You learn how to how to use direct mail, very much like using a sequential autoresponder, in the third step.

I am not going to get into the other four other steps right now. You can read those ourself.

The last section of the report is Russell’s Secret Resource and Vendors List, where you can get everything you need to use the system for yourself.

Read The IM-Myth for yourself.

The sad thing is almost everybody doing this was given bad advice.

I mean submitting affiliate pages with sound and video to traffic exchanges. It pisses the other members off and it is a complete waste of time and money.

It’s really not their fault because many programs enshrine bad advice in their sales pitch. Many MLM programs tell their members all they have to do is a drive traffic to their replicated website where the movie will do all the selling for them.

Here is something they figured out way back in the nineties, advertising your affiliate URL is the absolute worse way to advertise any affiliate program including MLM.

At least newcomers are told you can find thousands of opportunity seekers on traffic exchanges.

Traffic Exchanges are communities of opportunity seekers where members visit other websites in the network for ten to thirty seconds. Some exchanges, like Job Olson’s ILovehits.com have over 80,000 members. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out advertising home business opportunities to these communities is great way to get your program in front of people likely to join.

Unfortunately, its seems you have to a rocket scientist to figure out advertising a website with a 15 minute movie promoting the next big opportunity of the week ain’t going to cut it on traffic exchanges. No one is going to wait for your movie to download. No. They are going to click away as soon as they get a chance. Read William Brant’s, 13 Deadly Traffic Exchange Tragedies to learn how insiders use traffic exchanges to build downlines and promote other products as well.

Most people surf with four to seven tabs open so several sites playing video and audio annoys people to no end. If their system freezes, then they are royally pissed off.

Opportunity seekers are now surfing exchanges like Tim Linden’s StartXchange where users can choose whether they want to visit sites with audio or video. The only people surfing sites with video or audio are people who insist on using on video and audio even though it only leads to failure.

I have been selling advertising space for 15 years for papers like Alberta Native News and here are three tips for advertising in ethnic and small community newspapers many newspaper publishers won’t like me telling you.

1) Write the ad yourself. Most people selling advertising space know little, if anything, about advertising. I do design ads for many of my clients. However, to save time and money I look for ads people have already placed and use them whenever possible.

2) Ask for far forward right hand placement. The ideal placement is on the third page above the fold.

3) Ask for a free article about you and your company. Many small newspaper will be happy to have a writer interview you over the phone when you buy larger ads. The size of the ad depends on the readership of the paper and how bad the newspaper needs the advertising revenue.

Summer is slow for most newspapers as decision makers are often away or are too busy filling in for staff on vacation. You can usually get free articles especially when your market area is saturated with small publications. December, on the other hand, is very profitable month so you probably won’t get a free article.

I hope this helps some of you
