InfoJeff · Tue Sep 05, 2006 5:15 am Getting results in the traffic exchanges

You need a page that is short enough to read in a few seconds. This may require creating a separate splash page just for putting in the traffic exchanges.

In most cases, the page should be stand alone in appearance with no navigation on it pointing back to your home page or other pages.
It is best if it has only one path (action step) for the visitor to take.
Make it short in content (possibly visible on one page without scrolling).

Doing all that will make it easy for a visitor to understand quickly what action you want them to take. And that URL will load the fastest (which is important in traffic exchanges).

Many of us are promoting a free ebook, so that may be the best thing to offer on that page in the traffic exchanges, but check with your BYB sponsor to find out what they are using as their BYB entry point.

Good information Jeff

Those who don't think TE's work are not throwing enough mud on the wall to get any of it to stick. If I find a worthy target, I throw 500-1,000 credits a day for a week or so at it before I decide.

My largest opt-in list at FREEnetleads was built almost entirely with traffic exchanges (that's all I had back then) and it is now over 10,000 strong.

Hi Warren,

Welcome back and sorry to hear about you loss.

I've been wondering about managing the list. I am getting reponses from various sources and am unsure how to organize these people in a usable form.

Any tips?

Dave

Thanks Dave,

Hey I saw your Splash Page on one of the exchanges to day, nice job Buddy.

What I use for my list organization is http://www.treepad.com/

I have TreePad Lite and set up a tab for each Buddy and paste in the info from their back office record. Than I add notes as things progress.

It works for me.

Thanks Warren,

Jeff has been a world of help. He's been doing a good job as a coach. I have been having a ball working on my site, pestering Ron Clark for pieces of his brain, and browsing the forums, and now surfing on the net for credits.

Good to have you back.

I will go look at http://www.treepad.com/ now.

I just wanted to pass on a testamonial to the effectiveness of doing what Jeff described in the opening post of this thread. I signed up for TrueViewTraffic just a little over a week ago and I have been on it for about 15 minutes each day. Usually I do my 20 views and 2 or 3 more and leave. I have not paid any money for more credits. As a free member, that means I only get .5 credit each view.
However........

Sunday, I looked in my BYB stats and discovered someone had signed up as a 7 day trial member. I called him last night and this is the process he went through. It was a classic example of someone doing exactly what we wanted him to do.

He clicked on the download of the Free Stuff book. It lead him to my site where he clicked on my BYB link. After he signed up for the 7 day trial, he Googled my name and found me in several places posting on forums. He read some of the posts (I know he did because he told me what I wrote) and liked what he read. When I called him last night he got so excited because on top of everything he had read, he was hearing from a real live person.

Jeff and I talked with him at length last night, found out where he had a picture stored on the internet and tonight while I talked with him, he looked at a page I put on my site this evening where I put his picture along with his name and telephone number on a template of what his website would look like.

Tonight I walked him through the process of creating his website and tomorrow he will have his splash page and ebook branded and since he already promotes on traffic exchanges, he'll be ready to recruit.

The point is this. If just a little traffic exchange activity works like this, what will 10 times as much do? As Warren suggested, I think it's time to throw some mud on the wall.

warrencon · Thu Sep 14, 2006 4:48 am One more thing . . .

I should add that on the call Tuesday I asked about trial members getting signups and was told they don't get credit unless they are paid members.

The object of the trial membership is so they can get in and look over the tools and try a few things out. If they want to recruit, they need to click the Safepay link in their back office and pay the $10 to be a full fledged member.

We need to make sure trial members know that.

Thanks for the information Warren,

Actually, I am convinced that it is not a problem with this guy. He will be a paid member before his 7 days are up. I will inform him though that he needs to be a paid member to get credit for recruiting.

Thanks,

Dave

InfoJeff · Fri Sep 15, 2006 11:40 pm about the 7 day trial period

Warren mentioned in this thread about 7 day trial members and is correct.

I contacted support to clarify this and I posted a new thread "Can someone sign up members while in the 7 day trial period?".

dfullmer · Sat Sep 16, 2006 1:13 am

I think we should all keep that in mind, but really, I can't fathom someone who would recruit a buddy and not decide to pay and become a full member. As Warren would say, it's a no-brainer.

At any rate with my guy Norvelle, he's in, paid up and my commissions have already been credited. This is the first one of many for me.

I love the system. I have spent less time, had more fun, and have felt more like I am really helping people than when I tried it the old way. It's no fun writing emails to people who don't read them like I used to do.
