Affiliate program Review
As I mentioned over and
over again, I will be honest in writing any reviews of
programs I personally participate. If I don't like what I'm
experiencing with any one of them I will let you know. Also
I will tell you of a business opportunity is worth the
effort or not.
This month I will talk
about 2 affiliate/MLM programs I joined a while ago and they
are just not performing. Let me be more specific. They are
not performing despite the time and money I invested into
the promotion of these programs. I'm not talking about a few
bucks, I'm talking about hundreds of dollars invested and
very little in return. These are the kind of business
opportunities that will discourage newcomers.
The first program I quit
was GDI. GDI or
website.ws offers .ws domain name registration and web
hosting services. The domain name registration is Ok, the
web hosting service sucks and the email service I never even
tried. Don't get fooled by the advertising pitch that .ws
stands for website. It actually is the country registration
for West Samoa. A little tiny island in the Pacific Ocean. I
found this information after I researched more about GDI and
the .ws domain.
To be honest with you, I
was very impressed with GDI's marketing. Probably some of
the best I've seen so far. However, I wasted hundreds of
dollars with GDI supplied leads, 13,000 to be exact. Out of
these leads I got 4(!) sign ups. Meanwhile 2 of them quit.
So, I'm getting $2 a month in commission compared to $10 I
spend for the membership. I wouldn't mind if the monthly
commissions would cover the cost. Then at least I would have
a chance to recover the initial investment over time. Either
way this doesn't sound like a good business investment.
Bottom line, I have to stop
the financial drainage and quit the program.
The second program is
ISPVIP. They offer dialup
internet connectivity in several countries all over the
world. The cost is reasonable and the their tools seem to
work fine. I signed up because of the income opportunity.
After a half a year with no signups I decided to quit the
program. I don't need an additional dialup ISP and the
ISPVIP website did not convert at all. There's nothing wrong
with the service, but this is not a good business
opportunity.
Again, I have to stop the
financial drainage and quit the program.
As you can see I don't mind
to tell you when I'm wrong and I certainly don't want you to
get burned like me. If you made similar experiences with
affiliate programs, please let me know and I will write
about it in this newsletter.

Traffic Generator Review
InstantBuzz
Yes, InstantBuzz is back,
stronger than ever. Despite the recent setbacks InstantBuzz
is gaining support all over the place. The last time I wrote
about InstantBuzz I mentioned the drop in visitors to my
website. Yes in deed I certainly missed the flow of traffic
from InstantBuzz while the site was down.
For those who don't know
what InstantBuzz is, here's a little overview. InstantBuzz
is absolutely free to use. Once you signed up you have 3
ways to advertise your products.
-
A toolbar on Internet
Explorer displays InstantBuzz member ads every time a
new webpage is displayed. In exchange of these ads
displayed on your IE your ad will be displayed on
another member's browser. There's a formula to calculate
how many times your ad will be displayed. They are
working on a FireFox version as well.
-
Every time you send out an
email InstantBuzz automatically inserts a member ad on
top of the email. Your ad will be included on somebody
else's email correspondence. Very powerful to bypass
these ugly SPAM filters.
-
An unblockable popup can
be inserted onto all of your web pages. This will
display a small popup on the right upper corner. Again
your ad will be displayed on somebody else's web page.
I don't want to go into too
much detail. However the key to a constant traffic flow is in building your downline.
The more people contributing to your viewing statistic the
more often your ads will be displayed. Remember this is not
your typical random traffic. People are clicking on your ad
because they are curious what you have to offer. This is
pure targeted traffic marketing.
The only thing I regret is
that I didn't sign up for the gold membership when I joined.
This will give you a head start in the exchange system and
your ads are displayed a lot more often than as a free
member. The catch is, that you can't switch your membership
after you joined. So, if you're serious in internet
marketing and looking for a prime advertising opportunity,
sign up for the gold membership at the time of joining. If
you don't it will be too late and you will never get another
chance to do so.
Click now to experience first hand what this powerful
advertising tool can do for you. Make sure to opt for the
gold membership. You cannot change it later on.

The Rats Are Winning the Rat Race
(c) by Peter DoblerThere was this great
entrepreneur who came up with a genius idea. He went and bought eggs; lot’s
of eggs and paid 5 cents per egg. Then he painted the eggs and sold them for
3 cents. While doing this he became a millionaire. How in the world did he
do this?
Did he miraculously find a way to reproduce each egg? The numbers don’t add
up, but still he became a millionaire. He also has proof that he’s
officially a millionaire. Still puzzled about this? Well, here’s the answer;
he started out as a billionaire. Huh, bad joke! No quite. That’s about how
you must feel with all the business opportunities advertised day in and day
out.
Everybody claims to make a fortune out of thin air and everybody claims to
have proof that it works. If you’re long enough in this business you will
realize that most of these claims and corresponding proof are copies from
somebody else’s “success story”. Ever so often there’s a new email floating
around that claims the same exact results than a similar email that you
received a few weeks ago. Same content different product.
But still, there are thousands and millions who want to believe that the
only thing they have to do is to go online and start making money. That’s of
course the message that all these clever internet marketers send out to a
well responding crowd. These people are caught in the moment and act like
deer in the headlights.
So what’s the outcome of this? Those gurus are making more money and the
opportunity seekers are getting milked until they can’t afford it anymore.
Now wonder there are so many angry and frustrated opportunity seekers out
there.
My next question would be; are all these self proclaimed gurus just smoking
mirrors and con artists? By all means NO! Everything they claim to be the
next big money maker is possible for the most part of it. So why doesn’t it
work for me?
The answer is simple. They have all the web traffic they need and thousands
of quality contact email addresses at their disposal. If you don’t know it
by now, it is one big numbers game! If you don’t have the numbers, you don’t
make any money, period!
How do we win the rat race? So far the rats are winning and there’s little
or nothing we can do. Well not quite. The one thing you have to do is
changing your mindset. It’s no longer about winning; you need to get
comfortable with the fact to be the runner-up.
Kiss the dream of a six-figure income goodbye and embrace the more realistic
3 and 4 figure margin; or even better, be happy to make at least some money.
Most of your peers aren’t making nay money at all and just depleting the
hard earned funds to a pile of rubble.
Based on this outlook shouldn’t you just close up shop and quit wasting your
time? I hate to say this, but it depends. If you are able to learn from your
mistakes and constantly tweaking your efforts and streamlining your products
and services, you will have a good chance to survive. If you are a pure
copycat and never ever invest a minute of your time to analyze your
situation, sorry you have no future in this business.
I know I will stir up some heavy duty emotions with statements like these.
However in my opinion it is the brutal truth. You have a choice. You can go
out there and experience it first hand and most likely get burned or you can
take a break now and analyze your situation. If you still believe you got
what it takes, go for it. Everybody else, quit before somebody gets hurt.

Must Have Ebook
Private Posts (by Allen Says)
If you put me on the spot to tell
you what are the 10 must have books to start your online
business, Allen Says' Private Posts would be one of them. I'm
going a step further and make the statement that this book is
the only book you've ever need to make money with your online
business.
Allen explains in plain and simple
words how the whole business works and what strategy works and which one doesn't. Before I read Allen's book I was somewhat
successful in selling products online. But Allen showed me where
I was making huge mistakes and how to correct them.
Ever since I read his book and used
it as a guideline my online business is taking off to a level
I've never dreamed to reach. Some of his strategies are so
simple that I told myself "Why didn't I come up with this
idea?".
The one thing I noticed is the
list of people who actually use Allen's book as a guide. This list
reads like the who-is-who of internet marketing. Apparently
Allen knows what he's talking about and the big shoots of the
business respect him as well as the thousands of people who
build their business with Allen's advices.
