As I have mentioned in my previous post, one of the most common mistakes when working with traffic exchanges is to put complete sites that take many seconds to load on your traffic exchange account, instead of fast loading squeeze page or splash pages. Every one knows that many traffic exchanges have a counter of between 8 and 30 seconds. When you have to wait many seconds until the page is loaded the viewer has no time to review the page(s).

Therefore the instant banner creator is very helpful software to help creating a splash page with a unique touch of your own. But when checking all the banners and stuff on the site I found out that the free version has only few banners or pictures to start your own unique promotion.

Most of the pictures and pre-designed banners are only for the paid version. So if you think to start with the free-version there is little or none information for you to start your own design. You have to sign-up for the paid version and than you can start with a great variety to design your own splash page within no time.

If you have never done this before than it is advisable to play a bit around until you have some exciting unique splash-page for your business or product promotion. But in my opinion there is not too much you have to know for the design because everything is explained in an easy way to follow.

So, before you go to load up a whole affiliate page on your traffic exchange account – think; and make your own splash-page that loads with high speed and with a form to capture the email address and the name, than with that information you can send later on more information to your visitor and offer the product you are promoting.

Just remember a traffic exchange is like a shop-window…you only want to show what you have to offer. If the customer needs more information you will give it to him in following messages as soon as he or she puts the information in the form of your splash page.

This way you will have your visitor’s information in your data base and you can contact him or her and talking about you and what you are doing or offering.

The software itself is very helpful for people that want to make their own splash page but in my opinion the paid version is more useful than the free version. It looks that the free version is only to attract the visitors but is not very useful when they want to make their own banners or splash pages. In my opinion for the prize you pay it is a very useful tool for your business.

When surfing at traffic exchange sites I the common mistakes again and again.
People don’t like a fast loading splash page, instead they just load on a traffic
exchange their whole affiliate site, that sometimes takes more time to load as the timer counts on the traffic exchange.

And yet it is so easy to make a splash page and download it to your host server. The advantage is that you will have your own order form in your splash page and capture the email address of your interested visitor. It looks like many people don’t imagine the power of having the email address of every prospect. Even the prospect is not interested right now about your offer or service or product…but he can be interested in the future of your service or product.

In my opinion it would be the same to have your own shop and instead of products you just show the address of the products you are selling where your customer can buy it. You never will get in real touch with this customer. The only person or company to get in touch with your customer is when he or her decides to buy the merchandise from the address you point in your shop to.

There are so many ways to make a splash page even without knowing anything of all that fancy html stuff. In my opinion the great obstacle that they are not doing it on their own is insecurity. Yes, you heard that right…they are afraid of the negative comments they might hear, or their fear what their friends might tell them.

You know a friend of mine always told me, “Anton, he said, you have to overcome your fear and start doing it…you will get feedback and this will inspire you to do more and as everything in life, when you practice more you will get better and better.

But if you are not sure that you can do it there are great tools and even membership sites where you can build your own banner ads, splash pages, buttons without knowing all that high-tech-stuff.

There is a membership site where you can sign up for free and get instant access to all that stuff and what they tell you can make your own splash page or banner within a few minutes…can you believe it? Okay, I will try it out and leave you a comment later on just that you know how true it is.

But I hope that they won’t charge in the meantime, because many membership sites they charge you quite a sum of money to do all that stuff on your own. Or buying a software to do all that grazy stuff of your own ads…it will cost you quite a few bucks.

So, why don’t you check for yourself and see what is all about. Maybe you don’t trust what I’m saying…than there is no better way as to check it out on your own. Some people trust more in what they see with their own eyes.

Talk to you soon.

I hope that it won’t take too long until my next report about how did it go with this amazing banner or splash page creation.

Dear internet marketer and friend,

You know the best way to get fast sign-ups is through give-away-events.

I’ve just signed up for the Social Marketing JV 2010.

It’s one of the largest Giveaway Events of the year and if you want
to add new subscribers to your list, then this is the place to go to.

For those of you who don’t know what a Giveaway Event is, let me try
to explain it in a few words.

A giveaway event is basically a place where several internet marketers
create a Team to add new subscribers to their lists.

Every marketer enters a Free Gift into the giveaway event that people
can access once the giveaway event opens.

Also, every marketer promotes the giveaway event, that’s how people
find their way to the event.

The Social Marketing giveaway event is currently in Pre-Launch, that’s
the phase when all the internet marketers signup and add their gifts.

If you read this, you are invited to join us in this Pre-Launch phase.

Be aware that this is not a free-ride… you’ll either have to promote
the event or you can upgrade your account to add gifts (and other stuff
like banners, special offers and your profile with links to your blog,

Are you ready to join the Team?

For the past few weeks, I have been searching for videos with resell rights that
I can resell in the ‘business opportunity’ niche.

Right now in that economy crisis no niche is hotter than the eBay niche;
because as the recession deepens, more and more people are looking
to make money online and eBay is one of the best sites to do that fast.

One product that I came across is Francis Ochoco’s video series titled,
“Live eBay Training Videos”.

Maybe he is not familiar to everyone on the net but he was awarded the first
ever ‘eBay Entrepreneur Of The Year’ award a few years ago. So, he is definitely
not a new be in that online business.

This “Live eBay Training Videos” is a set of 28 videos that show Francis
selling on eBay in real time. And you can watch over his shoulder how he is doing it.

I am awesome surprised to hear he is giving away these videos for free because in
my opinion this is the best eBay course I have seen in a long time. And if you watch
all the videos you will agree with me.

But now comes the shocker not only he is giving away these videos for free,
but he is also giving away Resell Rights for free. This means that you can
resell these videos yourself and keep 100% of the profits.

These videos are very detailed in everything so it won’t surprise me if your
10 year old child starts selling on eBay immediately after watching these videos.

If you have ever purchased resell rights to eBay video tutorials in the past,
I’m sure you’ll find there was nothing spectacular about them.
(This is because they were created by average Joe’s who haven’t had
any real success on eBay) But this guy as the Entrepreneur Of The Year on eBay
knows what he is talking about.

So I should point out that if you are looking for a hot product that you can resell
in a hot niche, make sure that it was created by someone that is
successful in that niche.

So, I highly recommend Francis Ochoco’s “Live eBay Training Videos”.

Best of all, it is free. You don’t lose anything at all.

To see the titles for each of the 28 videos in “Live eBay Training Videos”,
go to this site

Look at this video

If you are an online business owner than there are several things that you can do to increase your business presence, however, the most powerful ways to advertise your business is through the Internet. For many years the best way to advertise your business was through normal mailing, text ads and other types of advertising (newspaper).

There are many businesses that have found success through these means of advertising, but with the ever evolving technology that surrounds the Internet, businesses have soon found out new means to promote their company. This way of advertising is through web videos, and it is quickly becoming on of the best ways to create brand loyalty and help build a solid customer base.

It really doesn’t matter whether you own a huge business, or you are just starting, you can benefit from the use of web videos as your main source of advertising. One of the main reasons why more and more businesses are using web videos to promote themselves is because it is cost effective. The small business owner has only to pay for the cost of making the video which is in some cases close to zero. Another advantage is that if you are confident with making your own video you can very easily do it. You can find all the tools necessary on the net.

Many businesses that use web videos host them on popular video sites, such a You Tube or Google Video to name the biggest ones. However, if you want to make a video about your business there are a few steps that you should take to ensure a positive feedback for your videos.

If you run a specialty store, or something that has a niche audience, than you want to design your web video around your customers needs. A great way to gain customers and create a good brand loyalty is by making a web video that not only informs customers about your product or service, but also gives them something in return. An example of this would be if you owned a computer repair store, you would want to publicize your company, as well as help your potential customers.

A great way of doing this is by showing your customers how to fix a common problem with their computer (a how-to-fix-video). After you have shown them something that is useful, you can start to mention your company, and soon many individuals will begin to call or visit your website because you helped them without asking for money.

This way you build trust to your customer, and when customers trust a business or service, they usually will stay with them for many years to come. If you are already a business owner, you most certainly know that repeat customers make up most of business revenue. Through trust you will build much faster a relationship with your customer. Using web videos are a great way to not only promote your business, but also to help people.

In a world where everyone advertise only for making money, it is important to build a business concept on a trust-basis and most importantly that your customer feels and understands that you are there to help him. A successful web video campaign is when you achieve trust with your web video promotion.

Traffic Exchange is like looking at the Mall’s shopping windows. You only take a look for a few seconds and you go on. Traffic exchange is the best free link exchange. But you have to know how traffic exchange work best. Not every site is suitable for traffic exchange sites. The site has to load fast, not too much text, optin-form and a call to action.

There was no day that the News Media wasn’t talking about the oil spill…but what has been done so far? It seems to be easy to make profits with the Earth’s resources; but when it comes to stand up for an accident everyone is hiding the truth. Nobody likes to take the responsibility to stand up and pay for the damage or to do something about it.

It is easy to say I feel responsible for the damage but what has the government done to help the people who lost their income source as fishermen and everyone who lives from the Golf of Mexico?

It seems to me that every country and government acts the same way when coming to a disaster…a lot of words…but no real action! In my opinion this disaster will affect the whole Golf of Mexico for many years to come. The question remains, will Florida Tourism be affected? We do not have any idea where the oil spill will be driven to when Hurricane season starts.

Everyone sees it lightly without too much concern – but who will be to blame when the disaster is unstoppable? The whole hemisphere of the Golf of Mexico can be contaminated; the animal life can be destroyed or threatened, tourism will slow down, Miami a ghost town? Nobody can tell and I don’t like to imagine the devastation. All the fauna of this area can be contaminated and who wants to eat fish from the Golf – I don’t and neither will you.

And this is one accident, who assures that there will be not another accident? Every country around the Golf of Mexico is drilling for the “Black Gold” the fuel for our modern society, but who has a solution or plan when any accident happens? Pemex or any other company can have the same problem? What are the security measures that have been taken to avoid another disaster like this? Do they have a plan to avoid any disaster or to control any disaster? I really doubt it.

Why don’t we make the step and develop more alternative energy? Is it because government and big fat profit-making companies living together in wealthy harmony.
Oh my gosh when do we start to learn from our errors. Oh, I forgot that the human being is the only animal that makes the same mistakes again and again and again…!

I think nobody should drill in that area until he has a solution to how avoid an accident or how to solve a disaster. Oceans are not property of the big profit-hunting companies with license to destroy…they are property of the whole humanity. Speak out loud before we are forced to live on a contaminated Earth. We still can turn around the rudder don’t let control our planet from profit-seeking companies who give a damn about us.

Some people talk about revealing trade secrets, or myths that need to be cleared before one indulges into building an opt-in list. These are marketing misconceptions which are only an obstacle towards your profiting well from your business.

What are the reasons a lot of people don’t use email

Everybody in the online business knows that the most effective marketing methods in this cyber era are the use of email. Virtually almost all people use email for communication. This is also the fastest and best way to market you products or service effectively. You see it in your everyday surfing on the net those email fields or blanks required to be filled out on various forms before you can process any transaction. A person without an email address is a person without an online home. It is just not imaginable to deal with an owner of an online business without having an email address.

Email marketing campaigns can offend a lot of people

There is a way to avoid this dilemma through permission-based advertising. There is no harm in trying to advertise after asking permission. That’s why a good autoresponder service offers double opt-ins. It might be a bit slower in getting people signed up for your opt-in list – but it is the safest way for you and your customer. You won’t have any spam complaints. But even with double opt-ins don’t send to often your advertisements because you will lose credibility.

It’s not stupid to send email to all the people

The key is to have a very selective way of who to email and who to not email. Better look for some patterns on how to know which group of people would give you high return on investment.

Why Building Opt-in Lists – what is the real deal?

After getting off the clouds regarding so called email marketing myths, here some tips how one can benefit from employing the power of email marketing campaigns – building an opt-in list.

But this doesn’t mean that building an opt-in list is a piece of cake – and especially if you are initiating your online experience or business. Here are some tips on how to succeed in this kind of marketing challenge.

1. Strategic of collecting Data

Without knowing specific data or information from your visitors or audiences it is difficult to offer the right product or service. And it is more difficult that you will find a buyer. You cannot sell a product for losing weight to someone who is looking for products of how to keep his garden clean. You have to have a tactic to make people provide you with the information necessary to know what they are looking for. Only this way you will create a higher conversion.

But do not overload the required data. Ask only for opt-in, with their full name and email address. Later on you can ask them for some more specific information. Make sure that the profiles you gather are updated in relevance, timeliness and satisfaction from each deal you make.

2. Good Implementation

There is an old saying – ‘action speaks louder than words’. With this you will easily understand the difficulty one has to undergo during the execution of her or his email marketing efforts. It’s a good thing to think of various methods when building your opt-in database. This way you can cut down your costs and it will facilitate the building up of one’s opt-in list.

Another way of knowing your results is tracking your email campaigns. There are lot of technology and software on the net to make the tracking for better results an easy one. A good tracking device will save you money and time in analyzing the results of your marketing efforts. This way you can easily select the high traffic groups of opt-ins with the greatest result.

The following are some methods used to leverage channels without hurting your budget:

1. Make use of your own websites

This is an excellent tool for getting people to your list through your website form. And show your visitors what you have to offer. Use forms that only solicit your visitor’s email address and name.

2. Make use of print ads, brochures, TV, radio and direct mail.

3. Make use of traffic exchange sites.
There are very low-cost traffic exchange sites that give you instant visitors and show your visitors what you have to offer.

These are popular ways of marketing aiming to lead traffic to one’s site. You want to ask for sign-ups but you also want to show what you have to offer. Sometimes love comes through their eyes or what they say, ‘you have to see to believe’. Make your business or website more visible through these media. Offering free electronic newsletter and or rewards program can do well in making it easy to win the attention of your audiences, too.

4. Maximize your sales force.

Customer service associates can help a lot in making you benefit more from your email correspondence. Sales people with the right education on how to aid you in this endeavor can also contribute to higher ROI. Techniques like offering account updates and special programs through email can easily give you those lists of valuable visitors and future customers.

5. Don’t make your point of sale pointless.

Forms for signup located at cash registers and other high-traffic and highly visible spots can sometimes contribute to more business and collecting email addresses. Notification of upcoming sales through their email addresses and names can coax them to supply you with the information you need.

6. Conferences or trade shows can work quite well, too. The important thing is you have to take action and try the different methods for your low-cost or free marketing.

7. Giveaways offer another great way to collect email addresses. But you have to have a free product that you can give away otherwise it will be difficult to get subscribers or opt-ins.

All these tactics should be applied with adequate caution and should focus on earning the trust of your opt-in list instead of simply collating data for your sole own benefit. Always make sure that the forms that you will use and other methods that you will employ will not take to much time from your customer or visitor. Everything should be easy to do and fast.

With that bunch of information, who can ever go wrong with the feat of building an opt-in list?
