Lets get into it.

This method is based around using a zip file to give away you ebook, video etc.. instead of using a direct link to the free gift. When doing this I add my ebook and also a html file redirecting to a Joint Ventures squeeze page. I will explain why I do this for JV’s later.

Creating the redirect files is pretty simple. Copy the following into notepad on your PC

Click Here to get the code

As you can see that it says PRODUCT NAME in two places you put the name of the product here inside the inverted comma’s e.g. 1000 PLR Articles or Listbuilding ebook or whatever the offer is.

You will also see where you have to put in the URL that you partner gives you where it says PUT YOUR AFFILIATE URL HERE also inside the inverted comma’s.

When you have this done go to

FILE
SAVE AS
pick the folder that you want to save it to
then name your file something like
FAST ACTION BONUS.html
after that go below where it says
ENCODING
and select
UTF-8
Then hit save and that is your html file ready to go.

Ok, so once you have the file with the redirect made it’s time to get extra traffic from your partners and JV’s

Method 1 – I’m able to ad swap with people who send more clicks than I usually would. Let’s say I could only send 50 clicks in an email. Only sending to my email list limits my swaps to those that can send 50 clicks.

Adding these extra links in your download file allows you to send more clicks. Nearly everyone that subscribes to your list that day will click that BONUS link in the zip folder.

I’m using about 6 different methods to build my lists. Adding these html redirects adds an extra 100 clicks per day to my adswaps because of every list building method I utilize. What used to be a 50 click swap can now be a 150 click swap.

This next method is the real cream of getting big list owners to give you solo ads for free.

This method is called Banking Clicks.

Method 2 – Banking Clicks… I have a deal arranged to bank clicks. This means I can continually send a venture partner clicks until I hit a certain limit. Once that limit is reached, they will repay the favor and send a solo for the same amount of clicks.

Adding these zip file links causes my clicks to reach the limit
very quickly. Every week, I get at leased one 500 click solo ads because of my click banking arrangements thus far. With an optin rate of 50% thats and extra 250 subscribers per week without any extra effort on my part.

Pretty cool.

Finding people to bank clicks.

There are two main places I use to find people with big lists that is the Warrior Forum and Safe-swaps.com. I simply send them an email telling them what I’m doing and if they would be interested in participating with me. Most people are pretty open to this as you are sending them the traffic first and it is quality traffic that has opted into your list.

Ok thats it for now go TAKE ACTION you can be getting quality solo ads from massive list owner for free very soon if you contact them and get this set up.

If you don’t have a list and want to start fast you can download my free ebook “How To Get Your First 500 Leads In 30 Days For Free” by clicking here

Leave you comments below good or bad and what you think of this strategy.

Lazy Blogger

What I am doing is putting all my essentials into one easy to use place. I was going to opt for infusionsoft which is probably the best their is but their is an alternative (and not as pricy) it is called eBusiness Automation Center

Let me let you in on some of the outstanding features that come from this system.

Autoresponder and Newsletter manager

Affiliates manager

Products & Customer manager

Customer support manager

Membership websites manager

Ad tracking system

PDF ebook generator & brander

Sub-user manager

Digital download protection system

You can check all the features here eBusiness Automation Center.

I have checked email delivery rates for the system and it is the same if not better than aweber.
This was the most important aspect of my business as my business is based around email marketing.

Pricing is such a big part my eBusiness as is quality. So lets look at what each of these services will and there costs.

Aweber cost me at the minute because of the size of my list $49 per month

Hosting costs $10 per month

Membership site script will cost you around $97

Help Desk Software will cost $29 per month

Affiliate manager software $199

Ad Tracking Software $20 per month

PDf generator and brander $30

Thats an overall cost of $296 one time and $108 per month with eBusiness Automation Center prices start at $29.99 per month.
There is also a 30 day trail so that you can test the system for under $5.

Just before I finish up here I want to let you know about alot of scamming that is going on in the adswap seen at the minute and just to give you some advice and a solution on the subject.

adswap scammers

So what is the solution to this problem?

Safe-Swaps a website that tracks the swaps you do and also lets you rate your swap partners so that if someone doesn’t send for you everyone else sees that they are not sending swipes and you can steer clear of them.
You can also buy solo ads and sell solo ads on the site. I have purchased solo ads of people over there and the traffic is super targeted. This is the only place I will be getting partners from now on.

I will be updating my blog more often from now on with as much helpful tips as possible.

Leave your comments below or experiences you have had with either adswaps, other ways to save money in your business or just to say Hi

Also if you would like me to do a post about a particular marketing strategy that you are trying to implement into your business let me know and I will post here about it.

I have added a few other strategies to the fold now. It’s a little more work but no one said making a living on the internet was going to be easy right. So I am now starting to concentrate on, along with the strategies above, video, articles and traffic exchanges.

Video Marketing

I have started to put up videos on youtube but will be starting to use trafficgyser for my video marketing very soon. This will get my videos out to alot more sites in now time at all. I have also started to use a tool that I got for free but is going on sale very soon for around $500 called Tubefool. Tubefool sends out friend requests to people on youtube and it just works in the background while you get on with your other work. You can also share videos with it and get comments on your channel. Very cool and I highly recommend it. From using it alone I have had massive traffic to my youtube channel which is still very young.

Article Marketing

I am not a great content writer by any means so I decided to outsource this part of my marketing. I also needed to outsource because time is another factor in letting me get stuff done. I found a guy on the warrior forum who writes excellent articles for a very reasonable fee.

Traffic Exchanges

Alot of people will tell you that traffic exchanges don’t work but I think that has more to do with not knowing how to use them properly. I have put together a little video on how to use traffic exchange so go ahead and watch how I put between 10 and 20 subscriber on my list per day with traffic exchanges.

I hope you enjoyed the video and as always leave your comments below.

Until next time

This may seem obvious to some people running any type of offline business, and yet people who decide they want to have an online business to earn some extra money often neglect this extremely important first step!
And can you blame them? Most new would be marketers and online entrepreneurs start out with what seems a simple search of ‘make money online’. They are then presented with 430,000,000 websites!
Can you imagine the confusion that already begins to reign as they click and click on so many sites?
What’s more with so many sites all crying out for attention of the new marketer, they all try to make it sound so easy and simple, at least that’s what I’ve found, and I’m sure
you’ve seen the same if you’ve gone down that route.

It makes the old saying ring true that “It’s a mine field out there!”

I don’t know if this has happened to you yet, but usually at this stage many will fall for the hyped up over priced ‘get rich quick schemes’ designed purely to extract maximum cash for the site owner from your wallet. They buy into the promises of overnight success, the pay us your money and do nothing pitch, and then can’t understand why nothing is coming their way as promised.

If they are lucky they wont fall for it too many more times (but from experience of talking to many newbies – they usually do)…. Until eventually they realise there is no overnight do nothing short cut.

That’s when most will either leave the internet completely, or start to look for serious help.

What stage are you at now?

Where ever people end up looking for help, at some point they begin to discover that there are people on the net earning real incomes, both part time and full time incomes.

The next move is usually to ‘have a dabble’ and try to find their way on their own, without listening to the false promises, but wandering around all over the place without focus.

If they’re lucky, they’ll make a few dollars every once in a while, always swapping and changing direction to what seems the next big thing, in the hope that ‘this will be it for them’!

let me ask you a question….

If you’re driving to your local shops – do you jump in the car and just follow whichever car is in front of you? Even if it’s heading in a different direction?

I know – silly question, of course you don’t.

You know exactly where you want to go and you already have a route planned in your mind before you even jump in the car!

What’s more, I’m sure you also have alternate routes available to you should anything interfere with your normal route?

Why – because you have planned the route, you know where you need to get to, and where you’re starting from, you’ve done the journey before so the ‘plan’ is already in your mind.

Lets look at this in business context.

Do you think any of the worlds successful business men and women just decide to start a new business and then set off? spending money advertising, gearing up to sell one product then thinking they’ll change to another because it looked a better idea one night, 3 weeks later doing something completely different.

Of course you don’t, and hey you’re smart enough to know that they would research and plan everything they do!

Well a business on the internet is no different than any other business. And I can tell you right now that the one of the most important Keys that Every Successful Marketer Follows is to PLAN what they are going to do and how they are going to go about it.

When you plan a journey that is unfamiliar to you, you would be advised to consult a map, or ask directions of someone who’s been there before. That would make sense wouldn’t it?

So if you’d like some help in planning how you’re going to build your internet income wouldn’t it make sense to ask for directions or follow someone who’s been there before. Someone who is already at where you want to arrive?

To sum up.

Make A Plan.

Get a map from someone who knows the route or follow someone who can lead you where you want to be. Decide where you want to go and make your plan with any help you can get.

Do you remember the saying….

If You’re Failing to Plan – Your Planning to Fail

Don’t Fail to Plan.

To succeed in 2011 get to work. Yes, thats right get to work. You now realize that push button riches just isn’t true and that hard work is the only way to make your online business a success. You do not make money checking emails, surfing and talking on facebook or watching youtube videos. Start by planning your business and making an actionable plan then get to work on implementing that plan.

Stop buying every new product that comes out. Thats right, stop buying all the new latest and greatest products that promise lots of money for next to no work. We’ve all seen the products that tell you that you can make $5000 dollars in 7 days. Do you really believe this rubbish? I mean come on wouldn’t everyone be doing it if it where that simple. The sooner you realize these products are hyped up sales pages to get money from you the sooner you will stop buying these products and start concentrating on building your own business.

Start generating useful content for others. The internet is full of bad content created by programs and article spinners that is almost impossible to read or make sense off. Who wants to read the same old crap over and over plus in some cases the content is totally unreadable. Definitely not me. The best content that anyone can create is original content that you create yourself, a computer program doesn’t know whats on your mind. The content you produce leaves a trail back to you so you don’t want any old content out there with your name on it. Starting writing can be a bit daunting so the best way to start is to create a blog and start to write about you and what you are doing to build an online business. Let people know what works for you, what pitfalls they should avoid etc.. This will get you used to creating original content.

Start creating your own information products. The internet is the information super highway, people want new and up to date information on a daily basis. Provide information that people want and you will see success in 2011. If you don’t think that you can create your very own product or if you just don’t know where to start find a mentor. This was the big turning point in my own business. Mentors are great in the fact that you can make yourself accountable to them. They can show you the best path to success and stop you from making mistakes in the early days. Your mentor will also get you back on track when you stray. When you are looking for a mentor be sure to research them first. Go to google and put in their name, check out some reviews of their products. Another thing you should do is contact their support desk to make sure they will provide the support you need. A genuine mentor who has your interests in mind will be very approachable. How can they help you succeed if they cannot be approached. Mentors are not cheap but just look at how much you spent on information products in the past. It will probably be a very wise investment.

Always remember this, building a successful online business isn’t easy, there are no quick riches or push button solutions. The sooner you realize that the sooner you will become successful.

Squeeze Page Split Testing

The first thing that I have been doing is split testing my sqeeze page. I know I know I should have been doing this along time ago but I didn’t do it. What a big mistake as my conversions are going up now all the time.

This is such an easy strategy to implement. Just head over to Google Optimizer and have your original squeeze page plus a page that you have changed a little that are both uploaded to your server.

You will have to ad a few bits of code, that Google Optimizer will give to you, to the pages. Then just go through the steps that are lined out for you. The variation page that I am testing is actually doing better than my original.

When I have this test run I will be using the winning page as my original and create another to test against it. This is so cool and free as well so get on to this now and increase your conversions.

Tell A Friend

The next online marketing strategy that I want to tell you about is something that will explode your list. I just discovered this last night and had a “ah ha” moment.

This little strategy consists of using a ‘Tell a Friend’ page just after your optin page. Its really quite simple just offer an extra freebie for a few email addresses from your new subscriber. Its pretty simple thinking that if the person that just opted in is interested in what you are offering then they probably have friends that are interested aswell.

To get one of these scripts simply do a search on Google for ‘Free Tell A Friend Scripts’. There are loads there to choose from.

Some Excellent New Advertising Resources

I have been testing a few new resources and these really rock guys. Now to be fair I have taken the upgrade on these but only after I tested them first. I still use my Top 10 Traffic Sites along with these sites.

1. Adchiever

This is my number one traffic source at the minute. Even as a free member on this site you can mail to 1200 once per day but with the upgrade which is quite resonable at around $20 you get to mail the entire list which is around 4,500. I was getting so much traffic as a free member I just had to upgrade.

2. Build My Downlines

This is another site from Darren Orlander who owns adchiever. I took the $247 lifetime upgrade which lets you mail over 3000 people every 3 day and this is now my number 2 traffic supplier. If you join as a free member you can mail every 7 days which is good for testing the system.

3. State Of The Art Mailer

This is a great site even as a free member because the more you click for credits the more levels you can go up in the mailer. They have what they call escalation buttons. As a free member you can mail to 500 subscribers but if you click the emails that are sent you can build up to the 3000 button which you guessed it you can mail to 3000 subscribers.

I took the upgrade to 3000 subscriber minimum send every three days
and it sent me nearly 200 clicks.

To tell you that these upgrades have effected my traffic and listbuilding is an understatment. Just two of these little changes that I have outlined here have tripled my daily subscriber intake and when I get the Tell a Friend scripted installed tonight well the sky is the limit.

I hope you enjoyed this post. If you have any other little changes that made a big difference to your marketing or if you just want to say Hi

Leave your comments below

I have been doing a few things since my last post to drive my business forward. I have a new report online and have started working on my new product that I will let you know more about in another post.

Before we get into all that I have started to use an excellent piece of software designed by none other than internet guru Mike Filsaime. It is called the Power Link Generator.

I should have been using this software along time ago as it was given to me in Alex Jeffreys coaching program but with the amount of things that I was doing I didn’t have the time. Big mistake!! This one little change has increased my click thru rate in my emails massively.

Here are just some of the features of this software

- Create A New Campaign On The Fly

- Track Hits To Any Link You Make

- Unlimited Campaigns to Track

- Work With or Without MySQL

- Link Cloaking – Mask Your Links Hard in the URL Address Bar or use redirect

- Hide Your Affiliate ID So It’s Not Replaced By The Person You Are Offering The Product

Although this is an excellent tool the installation was a bit of a nightmare. I installed it on my blog domain and there seems to be a problem when you do that but the support for this software is excellent.

I contacted Cosmin which you can email or jump on the forum and he got back to me quick smart. He got my Cpanel details and within 24 hours everything was up and running smoothly.

Cosmin you are a LEGEND

Research With My List (Survey)

I should have done this a long time ago it is without a doubt a great way to find out what my subscribers want. It is finished running with over 150 surveys completed. I am going to have it in my first email to new subscribers also. There are so many people with no direction or plan to stick to so that is what I am going to give them. Not an over view but a hands on “How To” course of action.

The new report is the first in this series with probably a video series to follow but more about that later.

Can you guess what most people wanted help with on the survey. Leave your comments and have a guess what it was you may be surprised.

Until next time

I basically lined out how I got to 500 subscribers from zero in 30 days for free hence the name. It’s a little different from what we learned from Alex jeffreys with a few extra’s.

I am now working on an upsell for the ebook which will be a look over my shoulder video series. Starting from scratch and ending with subscribers in aweber all within 24 hours. And the best part is it will all be free traffic.

One Killer Online Marketing Strategy

This is an excellent strategy for those of you that are using video in your marketing arsenal. If your not using it you definitely should. I was going to put this in a report and may do in the future but for now all my readers can all start using it today.

This strategy is based around building a list of thousands of subscribers in just minutes on You Tube. No more trying to get ranked for your video but it is a good idea to use good keywords when optimizing your video which you can find in How to eliminate video marketing failure.

So what is this strategy and how is it done?

First of you want to go and get a program called Tube Toolbox. I am an affiliate of this software and will receive commission if you purchase it. There is a function in the free version of this software that allows you to gather user names of people that posted videos on you tube recently.

So within minutes you can have a list of 10,000′s of users. Now you will need to upgrade the program which is around $10 per month and this will send these users that you have gathered an invite to subscribe to your channel.

Usually you will get around a 16% subscriber rate but remember this is all done on autopilot. Simple gather the users and then let the software send out the invites while you go and watch a bit of television or cut the grass.

The great part is after that everytime you upload a video it will be sent to the people that has subscribed to your channel. Pretty awesome right.

Very easily you can have a subscriber list into the 1000′s in a few hours that you can market to time and time again.

Leave your comments below if you have used this strategy or just to say Hi

The results are still coming in and from initial results what seems to be the major thing that people want to get from me is a structure to earn money online. The most pressing question is list building and building your list super fast.

So what I have in store for you is a simple report that will be available next week to give you a way of making money online and building your list fast. The report is almost finished but I have to put the final touches to it.

To follow the report I am going to produce a step by step watch over my shoulder video course. In this course you can watch as I go from scratch to getting my list started in 24 hours. I will take you through getting your first site up and getting sign ups on your list all in real time.

This is not for everyone it will take daily dedication and massive action. A few hours a day everyday.

I am going to pick 10 people to test this video course so I am looking for people that have a hunger to succeed.

How am I going to pick these people?

If you are interested leave a comment below with your name and email address and tell me why you want to build a list and start making money online. For those that are making money leave a comment and let me know how I can help you and I will contact you personally to take your business forward.

I look forward to working with you

Safelists

Ad swaps

I have been testing these sources now for some time and have decided to give you my top 10 list that sends me the most traffic. These are mostly made up of safelists and listbuilders.

Honesty is the best policy so if you click and join any of the advertising sites that I use I will get credit for it. If you don’t want that to happen join under the site homepage.

So with that said here is the Top 10

10: Safelistblazer.com

This is an excellent little safelist with around 2800 members you can mail as a free member.

9: Europeansafelist.com

This site has a member base of 5700 and is very responsive. As a free member you can mail the entire list once per day.

8: Supremelist.com

This seems to be a list that is over looked by a lot of the safelist advertisers. It has a subscriber base of 3400 which you can mail once per day.

7: Qualitysafelist.com

A pretty new list with only 2500 subscribers but don’t let this fool you. You can mail 2500 every 2 days.

6: Listjoe.com

Most people will know this listbuilder. As a free member you can mail 4000+ people every 5 days. Even with mailing every 5 days it still sends a lot of traffic.

The TOP 5

5: Smartsafelist.com

This is a little gem. As a free member you can send to 4700 subscribers every day. This list sends me subscribers every day.

4: Gotsafelist.com

As a free member you can mail 2500 members from a 45000 database everyday. Very responsive.

3: Viraladstore.com

This is one of Mike Purvis sites. You can mail 2000 subscribers every 7 days but taking the upgrade for $1 for the first month is well worth it as you can mail 4500 very responsive subscribers every 3 days. Contact me for details on how to get the $1 promo code.

2: Elitesafelist.com

It was such a tight battle between position one and two and I had to go on traffic sent. This excellent mailer lets you email 6000 everyday.

AND THE WINNER IS

1: Adsolutionline.com

This sends me insane amounts of traffic on a daily basis and the conversions are excellent. You get to mail 10800 list members every day.

These are my top 10 of about 30 to 40 sites I use but these send me the most traffic. This whole process takes about one hour per day to get this traffic to my squeeze page. If you have an hour a day you can have lots of subscribers on your list in no time at all. Then you have the leverage to use ad swaps to build your list alot bigger, faster and make money.

If you have any great resources that you use, your own top 10 advertising sites or just to say Hi leave a comment below.
