It’s All The Little Things

Today, Saturday, March 7, It’s All The Little Things

Sound Check! Sound Check! Did you hear it? The opening to “All the Small Things” by Blink 182. I thought I’d use something appropriate for my mic test today. 🙂

Because it is all the small things (little things) that let people know that you are real and you mean business – yours! They don’t want to blindly buy from an email over and over. They can do that in safelists and mailers. You need to make yourself known to your autoresponder subscribers. And you need to show them that you care about them.

In the Internet Marketing business, when you get signups and promote traffic and tools to your list, you need to be there for them. They may need help using the traffic resources or tools that you are promoting. They may need to understand why the need them. And they may just need someone to help it all make sense to them.

And there are ways to reach them to offer that help. Come listen in and get some great ideas to help you help them …

Working Hard or Hardly Working?

Today, Saturday, February 21, Working Hard or Hardly Working?

You gotta ask yourself “Did he fire 6 shots or only 5?”. Oops, nope, wrong question for today’s topic. Today’s question is “Did I hit what I was aiming at or was I firing blanks?” Well, actually it’s “Am I working hard or hardly working?”

Hardly working is like shooting blanks at your target though. Isn’t it?

Today Marci took us through several scenarios of how to tell if you’re on target with your business goals. Whether they’re daily, weekly, monthly, etc. you have to know when you’re on target. Working hard is when you’re hitting the marks and moving forward. Hardly working is when you’re just keeping busy and missing the mark.

Come have a listen and don’t leave it to luck! (Eh, Punk? LOL)

Today, Saturday, February 14, Get In Control!

Two hours? Two and a half hours? How long does or did it take you to check and load up all the credits and impressions at all the traffic exchanges you belong to?

Open Session Q&A

Today, Saturday, February 7, Open Session Q&A

Marci wasn’t going to get caught with nothing to say and nobody asking questions so she came prepared today. She went over some topics relating to traffic exchanges and mailers to spur some questions from the crowd. And she got a few.

She asked a couple questions along the way too just to keep things lively. And things did get a little lively and crazy at times.

Come on in and get more of the details and craziness here:

Is That Yours?

Today, Saturday, January 31, Is That Yours?

It’s amazing what you see on the pages in the traffic exchanges and safelists/mailers sometimes. Sometimes the amazement isn’t a good thing. Seeing what’s obviously not owned by the person promoting the page. I’m sure you’ve wondered too.

Maybe you even saw YOUR image(s) or content or something that you paid for the rights to use! Well that happened to Marci recently. We heard all about her dramatic episode. 🙂

So do you know the legal rights about images and content that you use? Or wondered about some you’ve seen or read? What about music? Or email content? Logos, trademarks, or copyrights?

All About The Conversions!

Today, Saturday, January 24, It’s All About The Conversions!

Marci called it a formula for converting traffic into signups and/or sales. Maybe it’s a process? Either way, it involves communicating with your prospective referrals/buyers. What better way to do that than getting them onto a list where you can keep in communication with them? Building a relationship with them and connecting with them?

Sure, you can offer ethical bribes and incentives with credits and ads in a mailer or splash page. However, how much easier would it be to get your signups and buyers from people that already know you and trust you to do right by them? You can still offer them a bribe (ethical bribe, that is). It’s just easier to reach them than it is a stranger on the internet reading your emails or staring at your splash page.

Turn Up The Traffic!

Today, Saturday, January 17, Turn Up The Traffic!

Marci started by defining the two basic types of traffic: On Demand and Time release. On Demand traffic, as the name implies, is traffic that gives you immediate results. Time Release traffic spreads the results out depending on when the ad(s) is seen.

Traffic exchanges, safelists, and mailers can provide both types. When you add the site or mail for it, there are viewers who can immediately react to it. Or future viewers can react to the TE page or the email later as they return to that venue.

Time Release traffic is typically Ezine articles and blog posts. However, as I said, TE and mailer traffic can also be this type.

Social media can also fall into both types. Make sure that your use of social media is conducive to your business though. You want to bring attention to your posts in Twitter, Facebook, etc. but don’t shoot yourself in the foot getting too controversial with your more personal posts if you do non-commercial posts too.

Okay, I don’t wanna give away everything so here’s the link:
