Warning! You may never look at Traffic Exchanges the same again...
"Making Your Traffic Exchange Marketing Profitable"
I. Fundamental Concepts I'm first going to share with you some extremely important concepts you must grasp. If you neglect these fundamentals, you are doomed to fail in your traffic exchange marketing. "Indirect Selling" Most Traffic Exchange users make the error of trying to sell products directly in an exchange. That is a huge mistake. They simply don't stop and think about their audience. Surfers clicking furiously along for credits in an exchange are NOT looking for something to buy. They are trying to sell something... and they are trying to sell it to YOU! That's just one reason affiliate sales pages do not convert well in traffic exchanges. Even if you are promoting something they need, what would make them stop surfing long enough to buy it from you? Aside from competition flooding the market and the split second you have to get a surfer's attention, the majority of TE advertising is not well targeted. You are selling the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong way! Listen closely... The first step toward success with Traffic Exchange marketing is to understand the wants and needs of the market. What can you offer that will help them reach their goals? Helping others by providing something they want is the easiest way to create wealth and indirectly creates valuable prospects for your business! "We can
have anything we want in life if we're willing to
Here's another way to look at it. Instead of trying to sell something because you think it's cool or because it could make you money, choose a product the market is starving for... and sell that. Rule #1: Stop trying to sell your "opportunity" in Traffic Exchanges
"Conversions" Failure to understand conversions is by far the most common mistake in TE marketing. If you want to go from just randomly making a little bit of money to profiting wildly from traffic exchanges... you must have a firm grasp of conversions and conversion ratios. A detailed explanation of conversions is beyond the scope of this report, but in simplest terms it is "converting" traffic into income. Traffic + Conversion = Income Conversion is that elusive trigger that gets someone to reach into their wallet and purchase something from you. You can easily generate thousands of daily visitors with traffic exchanges, but that traffic does you NO GOOD if it does not convert to sales. For some strange reason, the typical surfer believes that simply adding more traffic will solve any lack of sales. If one thousand traffic credits to your website does not result in a sale, why would ten thousand or one hundred thousand make any difference? Why work three or four hours to generate 5,000 credits if it does not result in income? Why spend $50 to purchase 5,000 credits if you do not recover your advertising investment? Imagine how much better it would be to spend $10 on credits and have a return of $20 to $40! You can very quickly create huge profits from your traffic credits when you clearly understand the ratio at which your traffic converts. Stick with me on this point for one moment. When you grasp this concept you will be able to profit at will without having to surf for your traffic. How long would it take you to generate 100,000 traffic credits in your favorite manual traffic exchanges? How about 10,000? If you do not have a clue... you're normal. Most people do not consider how many credits they are generating while surfing through exchanges! Let me ask you another question... If you received 10,000 traffic credits that you did not surf or pay out of pocket to get, what's your return on investment? tick... tock... tick... tock........... time's up! That was a trick question. You cannot calculate a rate of return on something that cost you nothing. Converting free traffic to income is like pulling money out of thin air... and I'll show you how to do it! With zero cost marketing it's ALL PROFIT! One more quick thought about conversions to blow your mind... If I gave you 10,000 traffic credits right now, how much money would you end up with in your bank account? I'll bet you can't answer that one either (unless you already know it's zero). To answer my own questions... Surfing to get 10,000 free traffic credits would take me about 5 hours of surfing, or I could buy them in under ten minutes for $80 to $100. The income generated would put more than $200 into my bank account. That's $40+ per hour of surfing, or alternatively a 200% return on purchased traffic credits! The above numbers are conservative and they fluctuate based on a number of factors. But I have a clear idea of what my credits cost, and what they are worth. They are definitely worth more than they cost.
"Credit Cost" This is self-explanatory. Your Credit Cost is the price you pay for traffic credits to get visitors to your website. Most people think of Traffic Exchanges as "free" traffic. In reality that is not the case. If you are surfing furiously to earn traffic credits, the price you are paying for those credits is your own time. Time is money. How do you value your time? That is a question only you can answer. You decide what your time is worth. If your time is worth $20 per hour (it should be at least that) and you only earn 500 credits while surfing for one hour, then your credits are costing you about four cents each. That is a very high price to pay for traffic from a traffic exchange! The typical rate to purchase page views in a traffic exchange is 100 credits for a dollar. That is one cent per credit. But we can do better. With the proven plan I am going to share with you, the cost of your traffic credits will decrease. You will begin earning truly "free" traffic credits, without surfing and without paying out of pocket to get them. Traffic credits that you don't surf or pay out of pocket to get are "residual" credits. You can receive thousands of residual traffic credits every day if you follow the plan I'm giving you. Your Credit Cost will become zero!
"Credit Value" What your credits are worth is called Credit Value and you must know how to calculate it. Remember above I stated that 10,000 credits would put more than $200 in my bank account? That is because my credit value is greater than two cents. With your TE Profits membership I go into detail on how to calculate your credit value. I also reveal how to dramatically increase your credit value with absolutely no additional effort involved. Your Credit Cost will go down while your Credit Value goes up. When your credits are worth more than they cost, you can purchase credits (without the need to surf) and turn them into profit! Rule #2: Understand the true cost of your traffic and how your traffic converts to income.
Traffic is NOT the #1 problem. Converting your traffic to income is far more important than adding more traffic to promote something that does not sell in traffic exchanges anyway. Well then... what does sell in traffic exchanges?
"Target Marketing" Internet and network marketers often decide to sell something, like pink shoelaces, and then they look for people who want to buy pink shoelaces. Determining who would be most inclined to purchase pink shoelaces is target marketing. But the approach I use is almost the exact opposite. Instead of finding a product and then defining the market, we are finding a market and then defining the product. Here we already have an extensive marketplace, Traffic Exchanges. We are simply picking our product based on what they want and need. The top two products in demand with TE users are:
The first one is obvious. I can't imagine why anyone would be surfing in a traffic exchange unless they want traffic... and more is always better. The second product category is something most experienced marketers want, and every marketer needs. You have heard a thousand times that... "The MONEY is in the LIST"
In reality, that statement is only partially true. The money is not in the list... it's in the pockets of real people on the list! Building a list does not guarantee success. It is simply a starting point because it allows you to develop relationships and trust necessary for conversions. When you generate your own "list" of leads, you have a group of prospects who are getting to know you and are interested in what you have to offer. They have asked you for information. Simply provide recommendations you honestly feel are in their best interest. If they believe a suggestion is suited to them... bingo! You have a deal... or conversion. It's a win-win situation. It's not about you and your wants. It's about them and what they want. If you have no sales skills and are looking for something that "sells itself," then you absolutely must consider what the market wants. Offer a product or service they desperately want and need. That brings us to... Rule #3: Put your customers' needs first
II. Proven Success Formula: I'm about to put the pieces together so it makes sense for you. Get this formula planted firmly in your mind. You will be amazed at how simple it is. It works! This is the big picture. It's like looking at the cover of a jigsaw puzzle box. Once you get the picture everything falls into place. Any "system" can be defined as a set of Inputs, Processes and Outputs. Take a look at this graphic...
Previously, I mentioned that a simple income formula is: Traffic + Conversion = Income
Most people focus far too much on the traffic issue, but that is not the #1 problem. Traffic is easy. The real issue is the conversion of your traffic. Conversion is a process of turning your traffic into income. It takes time and often several exposures to a product before you get a commitment to buy. That is why "the fortune is in the follow-up." You see... the money is not in the list... the conversion is in the list. Building your own list of leads is the single most important conversion activity in online marketing. Do you have the proper system in place to automatically follow-up with your leads and convert them to paying customers? Everything you do should revolve around generating leads by building your own opt-in list. Whether your list consists of 10,000 people or just a few, no other list will be as responsive as your own personal email list. Let me be very blunt on this point... If you do not have an autoresponder working for you, there is no list, no leads, no follow-up, no conversion, and no income. You can use any autoresponder with this formula, but the one I use and recommend is TrafficWave. You can get a fully functioning account FREE for 30 days here... It's an essential tool that pays for itself many times over!
Generating Leads The first step in the conversion process is to get your traffic to subscribe, or opt-in, to your autoresponder. For that you need an awesome, targeted squeeze page. Having a highly targeted, eye-catching squeeze page is the difference between getting 4 subscribers or 20 subscribers per day to your newsletter or report. Five times more subscribers equals five times the income! Take a look at this screen shot...
This extremely effective lead capture page is available with your TE Profits marketing and lead generation system. You will be getting some of the most highly targeted lead capture pages ever conceived for the traffic exchange market with opt in rates as high as 40%! These capture pages are automatically linked to your autoresponder so that you are building your own exclusive list rather than helping some "guru" build their list. Building Your List With Free Traffic I stated above that getting traffic to your website is easy. The fact that you are reading this report indicates you are probably already familiar with two of the most popular methods: Hit Exchanges and Safelists. Which hit exchanges and safelists provide the best results? The premier source for hit exchanges and safelists, TrafficHoopla provides 100% independent statistical testing and links to current top-ranked advertising resources. If you are looking for the best sources of free traffic, start with TrafficHoopla!
Would you like to get 10 times more traffic for the same amount of work? It is easier than you can imagine! Most traffic exchanges pay you with free bonus credits when you refer a new member. When you refer someone to TrafficHoopla, you are automatically referring them to the top-rated TEs and Safelists. You earn FREE BONUS traffic from all the exchanges they join. In some instances I have earned thousands of bonus credits referring just a single TrafficHoopla member! When you spend 100 credits to refer one new member to TrafficHoopla and then get paid in return with 1,000 traffic credits, your overall traffic has multiplied by a factor of ten! Using the TE Profits system you will spend none of your traffic credits to refer people to TrafficHoopla. The system will refer them for you. It doesn't stop there... In addition to referral bonuses, you also receive residual traffic credits as your referrals do their own surfing. With some exchanges, these referral credits are paid several levels deep. This can become thousands of credits per day in residual traffic. With TrafficHoopla you are earning free traffic two ways:
Using the TE Profits System, your residual traffic becomes residual income! Get your FREE TrafficHoopla membership and prepare for more traffic than you know what to do with.
Better Than Free Traffic Let's take another look at the cost of referral bonus credits and residual traffic credits you earn with TrafficHoopla. Residual traffic credits are considered zero cost. You are getting paid over and over again for something you did one time. Bonus credits are another story... If you spend any amount of time or money generating referrals to traffic exchanges, then there is a cost associated with your referral bonus credits. Your cost of earning those bonus credits is not zero. In fact, trying to use traffic credits in Exchange A to earn referral bonus credits in Exchange B can cost much more than the bonus credits earned! It is a losing proposition. As a traffic exchange marketer I cannot think of one reason you should directly promote one traffic exchange in another. Let the traffic exchange owners do their own promotions. I would need a very strong incentive to use any of my valuable credits to promote a traffic exchange. When you use your traffic credits exclusively to build your own subscriber list, you are not spending any credits promoting other traffic exchanges. Let me say that again... Use all of your traffic credits to build your own subscriber list! Build your list. Let your autoresponder refer your subscribers to TrafficHoopla and many traffic exchanges for you with with no additional effort. Again, with no additional effort or expense, the cost of earning bonus credits is zero.
Did you know your credits could cost less than zero? Well, they can! Many traffic exchanges pay cash commissions when your referrals upgrade their accounts or purchase credits. In addition to getting paid in bonus referral credits and residual traffic, you are getting paid in cash! When you follow the TE Profits Proven Success Formula, you will be able to upgrade your traffic exchange memberships and generate a profit. As your referrals also upgrade in the exchanges, you will be getting paid by the traffic exchange owners in traffic and cash. Your traffic will be better than free!
The Output We have looked at traffic as well as how to capture the attention of our visitors and turn them into prospects or leads. But what is the output? How do we convert our traffic and leads into sales? Fortunately for you... the hard part has already been taken care of. I spent six months developing the marketing strategy, system and email campaign to convert subscribers to loyal, paying customers. You can benefit from my work immediately. You simply plug my professional TE Profits email series into your auto responder, customize the links and surf to capture leads. The system takes over from there on autopilot. My email series is designed to work seamlessly with the TE Profits System. You receive this series at no additional cost when you use the system. The TE Profits email series explains in detail the "Funded Proposal" concept and generates up front income from sales of a very low cost, related product. Conversions are one of the highest in the industry. What does that mean? I made a statement on the squeeze page where you signed up regarding making money with traffic exchanges. Here it is again...
When you have a system that works, $20 per hour of surfing is achievable for anyone who works the system. Use the TE Profits System to earn $5, $10, $20 per hour and more simply surfing exchanges to build credits and generate leads for your business. As your business grows, so will your earnings! Here's how... Using highly targeted splash pages and an awesome lead capture page, you will quickly generate 20 opt-in subscribers. With the current conversion rate my system is getting, that yields 3 to 4 sales! Four sales of your "Funded Proposal" item equals $20 Why do you need a funded proposal? Without a funded proposal to create up-front revenue, you must fund your marketing tools out-of-pocket, surf longer hours for credits, and wait patiently for "back-end" sales to come through. Or... You can do as I did and fund your marketing with a fantastic product that sells for just five dollars! With a funded proposal you are creating up front income that pays for your marketing. Use a small portion of the income to cover the cost of your autoresponder, pay for upgraded memberships in traffic exchanges (earning more credits faster), or even purchase traffic credits as I do. For just five bucks you get a fabulous product to sell over, and over again keeping 100% of the revenue. You will surf for traffic, build your list, and grow your business while automatically generating up front income. In effect... you will get paid for surfing! It's no additional work, conversions are excellent, and you will be in profit mode from day one. How does $600 the first month working only 1 hour per day sound? Your results will vary and could even be much, much higher depending on your "back end" sales. But the TE Profits system will make sales of the funded proposal for you and, most importantly, you will be in profit mode from the beginning! With this system anyone can make money with traffic exchanges... fast! Do you see it yet? Use the FREE tools to get your TE Profits System running and create up-front cash flow. When you are ready to make more money, use that revenue to fund any other upgrades you choose. Here is where it gets exciting... In addition to up-front income from the funded proposal, you will start generating "back-end" sales of your traffic and list building tools. TrafficWave pays a $17.95 fast track bonus for each paid referral, plus an excellent residual income plan. You will receive one dollar per month for every paid member in your downline... regardless of who referred them! If you add just one person per month to your TrafficWave downline and each of them do the same... you'll be earning $4,000 per month in residual income in 12 short months from that one stream of income. Your autoresponder is an essential tool that pays for itself. The extra commission is just icing on the cake. But that sure is a lot of icing!
Traffic-Splash pays 10% commissions to free members and 50% to upgraded members. Traffic-Splash commissions generated $200 in my first month!
TrafficWitch is one of the newest and fastest growing traffic exchanges. The owner pays 5% commissions to free members and 75% commissions to their top membership level. The owners of TrafficWitch are reporting a 10% conversion rate on the upgrade. My referrals upgraded at a rate of better than 30%, earning $278 in commissions in three days! The list goes on...
Getting the point? As you automatically generate personal sales of the funded proposal plus traffic and list building tools, you are also creating residual income that keeps growing month after money-making month. With no additional work involved, your earnings just keep on increasing! Let's review what we have covered so far...
Traffic + Conversion = Income
The input is traffic from Traffic Exchanges and Safelists. Capture the attention of your traffic with highly targeted "splash" and "squeeze" pages. Provide free information to help them get what all marketers want... more traffic, a list, and to be rewarded for their effort. An autoresponder follows up with your subscribers to teach the advantages of viral marketing and list building, while showing them how to monetize their traffic and list with their own sales of the "funded proposal." The resulting output and BENEFITS are:
You do not have to wait months or years to be in profit. The TE Profits System will have you generating income even before any of your leads join your primary business!After a while you will have so much free residual traffic that you can even STOP SURFING and your system will keep on pumping out leads and up front income with no additional work!
Are you ready to Get Paid to build your business?
My "secret" to getting paid to surf while generating traffic and leads for my business is now in your hands. This system was built on trial and error, not some textbook theory. I'm simply sharing with you what actually works. To get paid as you build your business you need only one more item... The Funded Proposal You may have heard this term before, but if not, here is my short description.
The funded proposal strategy is proven and effective. Several popular funded proposal systems encourage paid advertising to bring in traffic. However, using paid advertising takes considerable skill and tracking to ensure you don't lose money. Paid advertising is a risk. But... What if I could show you how to do this with NO marketing expense and a product of tremendous value that sells for a one-time payment of just $5? With ZERO marketing costs there is NO risk and 100% profit! Interested? Of course, you are! Well here it is...
Several months ago I was introduced to Dave Gray by someone from the Online Business Alliance. This person, who is now a good friend of mine, told me about the book Stacked Income. I had seen the book advertised in traffic exchanges repeatedly, but had not purchased it. On the advice of this new acquaintance I finally bought the book. What I found out was something remarkable... a new business model, system, method (whatever you want to call it) for creating online income that is so powerful it changed my life! No longer did I have to wonder how I was going to build my business. All I had to do was follow the plan and help others to do the same. Stacked Income provides a business plan that makes it easy to receive thousands of dollars in income from just a few sales of a $5 book! You do NOT need a lot of money to start a business.

All you need is a proven step-by-step plan based on sound business practices... and of course you need to follow the plan to see any results. The plan is all laid out for you. I will help you implement it. Many customers purchase Stacked Income every day to discover this powerful new business model. But it gets even better... Your purchase entitles you to the "Product Plus Business" option at no additional cost. With it you receive the rights to resell the product and keep 100% of the sale.

In my personal opinion Stop Being a Victim is the most important and informative ebook on the net for Internet Marketers. It answers questions and tells the honest truth about tricks used on the internet to relieve you of your hard-earned cash. I receive a lot of email from subscribers asking me to look at some new launch or incredible opportunity. They ask my opinion about joining programs that sound great on the surface, but most of them are just scams. My advice? Read the book!

III. The TE Profits System: Following the success formula in this report, I became a full-time professional traffic exchange marketer in a matter of a few short months. I am now upgraded in more than 20 traffic exchanges and the commissions I am paid from the traffic exchanges far exceed the cost of my upgrades. I only surf when I want to see what is going on in the market yet receive thousands of residual traffic credits each month. I even purchase additional traffic credits and turn them into a profit. How fast will you make money? That all depends on how well you follow the plan. But as I stated before, you should expect to earn $5, $10, $20 and more per hour of surfing. As your business grows, the amount you earn keeps growing right along with it. My first month I actually only surfed an average of 5 hours per week, yet generated more than $1,200 in income with this system. If you do the math that is more than $60 per hour of surfing. You have to start somewhere. Start by building your business through sales of the $5 book, and I will show you how to grow that into thousands per month with the TE Profits System and your $5 Franchise. I will create your copy of this Traffic Report and Lead Capture system and host them for you with your own links. Plus you will get a professional email series to follow up with your leads and make sales for you on autopilot.
