Fast Downline Builder, SWFHT

A truly EASY, Step-By-Step referral builder that works:

SWFHT - Referral Building System - No Cost

If you haven't been able to catch on to the product creation, membership site, web 2.0, reseller, niche marketing plans to earn money online and you're still (or haven't tried) dealing in 'read-for-pay' programs and such, don't fret!

Contrary to what big internet gurus will tell you

* that you need to OWN your own huge membership site to make money online
* that you have to create your own products - or else forget about money online

etc,

There really is money in 'action-based' programs like click-ads, traffic exchanges, read-emails-for pay, and things like this.

The problem that the majority of people have with earning from these kinds of programs is that they do not understand how to fit the programs they join together.

In short - they don't know how to put things together in order to make the DOWNLINE that is so important with these programs.

Most people spend several hours per week promoting a few of their favorite programs - or making a webpage with tacky looking banners and links - which they HOPE will gain them referrals...

DO YOU sign up for programs on link-ridden, spammy looking pages like that?
(probably NOT, eh)
Do YOU keep building those same kinds of pages and keep drawing paltry numbers of referrals - or have gotten absolutely NO REFERRALS YET for all your efforts?

That's what happens with most people who get into the PTR/Click/TE/Surf programs.

Here's the SOLUTION:

SWFHT - Referral Building System - No Cost

SWFHT will make your efforts more organized and successful.

Worried About Using AdSense? In Google's Defense

Many people keep on shying away from using AdSense. They've either heard by others that Google keeps locking accounts for the tiniest little infraction - or - they've had a quick peek into AdSense info and it all seems too complicated, so people just don't bother getting involved.

For those who get involved - YES - it is very important that you don't get your AdSense account locked, blocked, banned or cancelled.

Here's How To Avoid Getting Your Adsense Account Terminated

Right now, Google is the undisputed leader in search engines. Therefore, Google has to place high priority on 'quality' and 'relevancy' regarding what goes into search engines. Now that the company is public property, Google needs to keep shareholders and users of its search engines happy and satisfired. This is why 'quality' and 'relevance' are so important to Google - and why these should be high priority for you, too.

Doing the wrong things with or within Adsense and other forms of advertisements, anything related to Google - whether intentionally or unintentionally - will eventually result in severe penalties. This may include getting you or your site or blog banned from the search engines or worse - your google account terminated. In short, the more that Google can weed out garbage content, deliberately duplicated content, spammish activities, and blatant steps over the line, the better it can run and offer its services to the public, to users, and to advertisers.

Here are things to DEFINITELY AVOID if you're going to be involved with Google in business:

* Hidden text.

Filling your advertisement page with texts so small they can't be read
Making text the same color as the background
Using css for the sole purpose of loading pages with rich keywords, content, copy.

(the above will earn you a penalty 'award' that is given to those who are hiding links - most likely when you are 'caught,' google will just ELIMINATE your account)

* Page cloaking.

This is actually a pretty common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see.
Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a plain and definite no-no.
This is tricking them to click on something to direct viewers to where you want them to go to but to a page that they probably do not want to go to.

* Multiple submissions.

This is the practice of submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages and you should stay away from doing this!
For example, if you try to submit a URL of an Adsense blog/page as two separate URL’s - this is just inviting trouble and possible termination of your accounts.
This is another good reason to avoid auto submitters and certain auto-submit software. Better check first to see if your domain is submitted already to certain search engines before you try to (inadvertently) submit it again. If you notice your URL already there - MOVE ON...it's not worth having your accounts penalized!

* Link farms.

Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense blogs and pages to. Search engines know that you cannot always control your links coming in to your sites or blogs. People will tell other people to visit your pages if they want to - but you can certainly do your best to control what YOU link to. Your pages/blogs are your pages - be careful!
Link farming has always been frowned upon greatly in the eyes of any reputable search engines, and Google is no exception.
Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make links higher than that.

* Page rank for sale.

If you have been online for awhile, you'll notice that some sites will sell their PR links or trade them with other sites. If you are doing this, expect a ban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct display and advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on the wrong end and bad side of a search engine.

* Doorways.

Doorways are very similar to cloaking pages.
Another common practice, using doorway pages means making a page and loading it up with choice keyword ads that are aimed at redirecting visitors to another “user-friendly” page. This is a big issue among search engines. Many SEO firms offer this kind of service, but now that you know what doorways actually are, try to avoid them at all costs. Certainly, don't go out to buy something like this!

* Multiple domains of exactly the same content.

In case you're not aware already - search engines look at domains IP’s, registry dates and many other details. If you have multiple domains with the exact same content, you can't hide this from the search engines. Changing a title on a page or a few subheadings may, in part, fool your viewers just a little bit, but it sure won't fool any decent search engine for more than a moment.
The same goes for content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.

Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines, not just Google. Grab the mindset really quickly that, if you're going to have Google accounts or any advertising and promotion accounts, you'll learn to use them properly and NOT CUT CORNERS.

Build up your Adsense pages for human users FIRST and not for bots, and you'll be gaining better, safer results from your efforts.

Cheaters always get caught at some point

Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense and site account terminated altogether.

Need To Get In Touch With Me?

If you need to get in touch with me, please do so through the Yuwie Social Site.

My website is just about ready. Once it is up and running smoothly, you'll be able to contact me there and I'll 'stay put' permanently so that I'm easy to get in touch with. (www.teeray.com)

Until then, I realize that referrals are coming from people viewing my Kamikaze blog, but some of my program member areas do not allow easy contact from within. If people need help or need to ask me a question about the programs, some of the members areas aren't allowing people to contact me. I'm sorry that I have overlooked this little detail.

If you've been in need of some assistance, just head over to Yuwie and drop me a message. I'll get back to you as soon as possible! Just log in, look for 'teeray' then send me a message.

Do You Think We Are The Web 2.0 Machine?

Web 2.0

What do you think or know about the concept of Web 2.o?

Here's an interesting video - all visual, with music. No vocals, but somehow, this YouTube video still makes a very powerful statement!

Watch closely - in fact, you might want to watch this more than once because there are a lot of messages presented in various ways.




I was led to this video through Mike Paetzold, one of the creators (along with Jon Olson) of Affiliate Funnel, which is my favorite program - and the program that finally helped me to make sense of all this Internet Marketing information.

Going A.W.O.L From The Net Today

Okay, so I've been up since about 3am. I start University classes this morning and couldn't sleep any longer.

No - it wasn't 'anxiety' about classtime that cut my sleep short. It wasn't the all the details about new class schedules, a new semester, IMPENDING exams that everyone knows will eventually follow...

I am just DARNED EXCITED about the three newest Social Sites I have been invited into:

YUWIE
APSense
Friends Win - NEW

I'm going A.W.O.L. from the Internet today because I have RESPONSIBILITIES now that my semester is upon me. By day, I'll be 'searching for Abraham' for the next 4 months (can you guess what I'll be studying? - hint 'Abraham').

By night, I will be active on these three sites:

YUWIE
APSense
Friends Win - NEW

Just a few hours of interaction already within the members areas of these sites has already shown me that these sites will be a FAST-TRACK to building QUALITY contact list PEOPLE! A short-cut to GOOD, SOLID Information. Friends Win is TOTALLY NEW, so I've only had a few hours' time in the members area. Yuwie and APSense have seen me for many, many hours already. Friends Win is still in Pre-Launch, so grab your spot QUICK. You can attend a teleseminar about Friends Win on Thursday - yep - tomorrow - so you'll be able to hear all about the site right from the creators. *hint* There's something special and quite UNIQUE about Friends Win that is NOT on the other Social Sites yet...try to guess what it is! (don't worry - I'll TELL by the end of the post - but try to guess first!)

The sites are all quite new and the existing GROUPS are mostly 'no-fluff' and 'no-nonsense,' and filled with GOOD INFORMATION. They show a decidedly obvious LACK OF SPAM - Woo Hoo! What a RELIEF!

Anyhow - I have to finish preparing to go A.W.O.L. from the Net just for the day. I have to go find my 'Student' cap, my books, and all that good stuff.

I'll be back this evening to check out who signed up, who started Fast-Tracking their Contact List, who started grabbing good information from the social sites.

Oh - by the way - Friends Win will have a special little added TWIST on the whole 'Social' idea...

VIDEO DATING!!! (told you I would TELL by the end of the post)

How UNIQUE and great is that??

YUWIE
APSense
Friends Win - NEW

Let me know, once I'm back this evening - how you like your members areas!!

Are You Earning What You're Worth?

How much time are you spending trying to earn online?

Are your online activities bringing in the MINIMUM that you have expected them to?

If you think you're spending too much time trying to earn online without seeing results or you've seen some results but these aren't what you expected - and your expectations were really reasonable...

Maybe it's time to review your Primary program.

Here's a major mistake that most beginners make online when they are first attempting to build up an online income. I'll use a true example that just happened recently with a friend of mine.

A peer of mine asked me out for coffee recently and wanted to know what I was doing successfully online to earn money. My peer noticed, from some forum posts that I was earning a little money - FINALLY - and wondered if I was 'telling tales.'

I told her the truth - that I am earning modest amounts - but it has only been happening in the past 6mo or so - since I evaluated and selected a better PRIMARY PROGRAM than I started out with almost 3 years ago. I mentioned that I have also DROPPED some 'tiny' programs that were TIME-WASTERS!

"What do you mean by Primary program?" I was asked, so I told her 'My basic money earning program.'

"Oh I have a bunch of those," my friend said, "I am earning little pennies from a bunch of primary programs and am finding that all this work is just NOT WORTH IT!"

Whoops!

My friend wasn't REALLY aware of what 'Primary Program' means. Her idea of 'primary' program was PLURAL and was just like some of the programs that I recently dropped like hot potatoes! She thought that 'Primary' had something to do with 'paying' programs - almost anything that isn't a 'scam.'

Anyhow - I am still in the process of explaining to her that a Primary program is a non-scam, legitimate money earning program that is of HIGH QUALITY and that can be promoted through other means.

GDI (Though I am not involved with this one) is a Primary program that TONS of people are successfully earning money with. It is a Primary program that people 'focus' on building up. The other 'programs' that people use to combine with GDI and make their GDI business successful are the 'tiny' programs like traffic exchanges, newsletters, autoresponder follow-ups, various emailing (non-spam!) avenues and click programs.

Watkins (not involved in this company either, but I wish I was) is a Primary program that many people are successfully earning money with - in much the same way as GDI members are earning money.

Shaklee, Amway, Pay It Forward For Profits, Success University, and many others are legitimate Primary Programs.

With Shaklee, vitamins and health products are the products of focus. With Amway, a great variety of foods, health items, vitamins, cleaning products and household items are the cold, hard products that are worth promoting. With Pay It Forward, the Marketing program and training items are the products of focus, same with Success University.

The other 'tiny' programs aren't the main focus that brings in the money, when you are involved in Internet Marketing. Getting all your customers to your Primary program or to use the goods available at your primary program - this is what business is all about. You can gain some earnings from the 'tiny' programs you use, too, but what you are really concerned with is allowing your clients to gain access to Shaklee vitamins, Amway dish soap, PIF4P's 'Internet Marketing' lessons, Success University's 'Internet Business' training.

You see - what my friend believed about earning money online is that being involved in a hundred 'tiny' programs would earn her a lot of money if she just kept clicking regularly - and that people would 'catch on' and start signing up as her referrals and start making her life and work easier somewhere down the line.

This doesn't work - rather - this CAN WORK, but it would involve a person designing their OWN Primary program (which many Primary programs are about) which acts as a super downline builder.

It is much easier to utilize a 'cold, hard product' program that is already in existence and bring your potential referrals, clients to that, as your Primary program.

Although the 'design your own Primary program' is not a bad idea, unless you're a very experienced marketer already, this will be somewhat complicated and time-consuming for you to accomplish.

The second idea is much more reliable for someone who has less experience, someone like my friend. Part of the reason is that certain programs already have an excellent REPUTATION, and 'product' that people can use right away. Whether products are in the form of 'software,' 'lessons,' 'eBooks,' 'electronic gadgets,' 'cell phone accessories,' 'downloadable music,' or whatever, they are already good quality and SET UP for access!

I'll just leave you to think about these things. Figure out whether you're spending too much time making program owners (PTR, PTC, TE owners, perhaps) too much money and mistaking their program for a PRIMARY program - when really - you should be utilizing the 'tiny' programs to lead people to other hardcopy items, solid goods, or reputable services.

Are Your Forgetting Something?

Do you use Hotmail? If so, have you clicked around INSIDE Hotmail but outside your email area?

Do you use Yahoo? If so, have you clicked around INSIDE Yahoo but outside your email area?

Do you use Opera? If so...

Did you know that these sites have SPACE for you to use?

See if you can figure out what I might be trying to tell you.....

*Hint* What are you doing with your free Space?

Due To Comments

Between posts, while I have allowed 'comments' to be posted on this blog, I have received notification that my blog is bordering on 'SPAM.'

Apparently, this isn't due to my content - it's due to the comments which are 'Spam.'

I have allowed these in the past because I know how hard it is to get a link out there for people to see. Even though I was displeased with some of the 'comments' people were leaving, I allowed them anyhow, hoping that the person who posted would come back and comment again, leaving REAL INFORMATION and not just a referral link.

If you leave a 'comment,' please leave a contact address, as well.

I have some other blogs, as well, and other viewers/readers who leave PROPER comments elsewhere have received more exposure from me when their comments were proper and valuable. I often bring the comment right to an official blog post and make sure that readers are going to see the commenter's links and words.

Basically, I will re-post the comment into a blog entry and credit the person who commented so that they receive traffic. In this way, I hope to help give some exposure to anyone who leaves decent information and decent program links in my 'comments' section.

Please don't just cruise on by, see that my blog is getting traffic, and then blab your links into my comments area.

Leave a contact address or YOUR blog address through 'Blogger' so that I have a reasonable way to contact you.

I will disable the 'comment' feature if things don't get better. Although this won't be a great situation for me - it will be an even more limiting situation for YOU as readers, if you lose the privilege of both posting comments on my blog AND having me highlight your interests by pushing your comments up to the top of the blog in a regular blog post.

A 'Proper' comment is one that involves information about your opinion on things you have seen on this blog - not simply a fly-by posting of your referral link

Sacrifice One Evening - Check This Out Instead

Are you willing to give up just 1 Evening of party-going, 1 Date night, or 1 Evening out for supper - in order to get started with an important Internet Marketing tool that is totally NECESSARY for earning money online?

Actually, if you 'Party' like most people, you'd spend way, WAY more than $20 in an evening, I'm sure. I would!

That's what this marketing tool costs. $20 and that's it. One payment - no worry about monthly membership fees or maintaining a monthly 'upgrade,' in order to use this:

Unlimited Autoresponders - One Time Payment - $20

Oh yeah - on top of Unlimited Autoresponders, you'll find an entire traffic generating and online money earning system. This is all available once you acquire your autoresponders.

If you need listbuilding tools...

Blog Value Went UP!

Awesome - I'm excited. I checked and my blog value went up - from $6774.48 to $7339 and two cents change! I updated on the right side-bar.

If you want to check your blog value, try this:

How Much Is Your Blog Worth?
(opens in new window)

Although the value that How Much Is Your Blog Worth assigns to your blog doesn't necessarily mean that you are being PAID from any one source the said amount of money, the code that How Much Is Your Blog Worth can provide you with can add a nice graphic to your blog.

It's easy to use the code - just copy and paste into your blog template.

Enjoy

Possibililties for EVERYTHING online

Don't buy in to all of the ads that say you can make money ONLY by clicking here, reading this or that and then you'll collect money. The ones that imply that 'All You Have To Do Is...'

Also - Don't buy all the crap that says you can NEVER earn REAL MONEY with clicks and read-for-pay programs.

Please beware of statements that are far off to one side of the Always-Never continuum. There are always possibilities in the middle!

Though there are even very LEGITIMATE read for pay sites out there, they usually don't provide each individual with enough reading material to make a really decent payout possible on a regular basis.

The Solution(s):

1. Basic email marketing tactics to gain referrals and build a mailing list
2. Forum promotion tactics (posting in forums and displaying the URL of your choice program in your forum signature) - combined with list-building, email follow-up
3. Traffic Exchanges, both manual and auto - combined with 'email capture' methods
4. Word of mouth, combined with email follow-up
5. Banner exchanges - combined with leading to a squeeze page for 'email capture'
(* Hint - all LIST-BUILDING TECHNIQUES, and all about EMAIL!!)

There are a lot of other methods for promotion, too, but I didn't intend this post to be about every method of promotion. I intended to make a post to alleviate some of the 'ABSOLUTE' statements that go around online all the time. Also, I thought it best to show how important EMAILING is for making money online.

Basically, you CAN TOO earn money online with ONLY "Paid To Perform" programs, however, you must still learn some of the same 'marketing tactics' that other kinds of businesses use online.

You will rarely see a windfall with just clicking, reading emails and signing up for trial programs. This is the 'scammy' part of program advertising (being told that small actions and minimal effort are all there is to making money online), however, if there wasn't a way to really earn online, all the PTC (Paid to Click), PTSU (Paid To Sign Up), PTR (Paid To Read) and PTP (Paid To Promote/Participate) programs online would just fall away completely.

The TRUTH:

These programs DO PROVIDE people with ways to earn good money.

The part of TRUTH that is missing from most promotions:

These programs require EXPERIENCE in the field of (email) marketing for individuals to actually make good money.
(*Another hint - think 'autoresponder').

Most programs only give out the 'possible' outcome of participating in the program but will not show you how to accomplish making money with the program.

In this - most PTC, PTSU, PTR, and PTP programs make a KILLING on user upgrades from NEWBIES who still don't know how to promote effectively, build a referral base and market themselves and their programs online. The sites will take the money and run. They're not breaking any rules - they're just putting out the 'opportunity.' It is up to clients, users, members to learn how the programs work.

Because of this, I am still involved in a few PTC, PTR and similar programs but I don't promote to full extent. I have other interests and am much more interested in Product Creation, Proof reading and Editing, Writing, Resales and Hard-Copy products.

The PTCs, etc., that I'm still involved with provide me with some affordable advertising opportunities, exposure for my other interests, and are beneficial to me in other ways - even if I don't upgrade and market an entirely PTC-based affiliate business.

I'm providing this information because I have had some emails recently from members I chat with in PTC/PTR forums who like my blogs and KNOW that I am present in PTC/PTR circles but they always wonder why I don't put PTC/PTR information on my blogs when I'm obviously having some success with the programs.

The truth is - because PTC/PTR isn't my main earning interest. I use these programs as part of my 'toolbox' for earning online, not as my main source of earning online.

I have made a choice not to participate fully in marketing these programs, simply because my interests and skills lie elsewhere. Frankly, I'm not very good at keeping organized with the number of PTC and PTR programs that I feel I would need to be involved with in order to earn a good living. That's my downfall - I don't organize my sets of programs well, so it would be a disaster for me to make these programs my main source of online income. I engage more with 'already organized' programs, downline builders, and affiliate centre programs instead. These programs keep everything organized FOR ME.

People who do well with PTR and PTC-ing seem to be very VERY good organizers! A few of my acquaintances are still baffled as to why I don't 'get on their boat' but the truth is - They are more organized and more creative with organizational methods than I am. They have organized their autoresponders, PTC/PTR Lessons for referral training, and are organized with providing help to the participant of the programs they promote.

I caved and looked for easier programs, plain and simple. I post on blogs and 'wing-it' with whoever comes by to read my material. My PTC/PTR Peers stay in better contact with their 'list' of readers and participants.

Which brings me around to the first points on this blog post. My acquaintances who are earning good money with programs that most people label as 'distasteful' and 'total scam programs,' are doing so in legal, organized ways. They are using the same kinds of tools and methods that many other fields of marketing and money earning use:

Autoresponders, email marketing, list-building.

I'll let readers think about this for a bit while I go check my email - I made sure to send out a few emails to 'friends' to let them know that I finally posted on my blog about the validity of PTC/PTR-ing. Hopefully when they visit the blog, they will feel supported now!

KISS Conspiracy Over At Traffic G!

Alright, I'm CONVINCED that there is some kind of KISS Conspiracy going on over at Traffic G!

Yes, you're thinking RIGHT - I do mean KISS - The Rock Band. I think that ACE FREHLEY is up to something...

What has ACE FREHLEY done now? Has he paid Traffic G Traffic Exchange to ONLY put his picture up there? Has he conspired with Traffic G to keep the other KISS Band 'mugs' off the Traffic Exchange, or what?

Where the heck are Gene, Paul and Peter? Oh, so Tommy Thayer's version of Spaceman isn't a good enough portrayal of this character - for Traffic G? Is that supposed to be Ace or Tommy? Looks like ACE to me! And Maybe we could see Anton Fig's Unmasked face once in a while, eh? Maybe Eric Carr?? And what about Vinnie Vincent (Ankh Warrior) if Traffic G INSISTS on the make-up, huh?

Mark St. John (recently passed away, April 2007), Bruce Kulick, Eric Singer (the other Eric - Eric Carr passed away in 1991, age 41, after a 'gig' with Cancer) - what about those guys?

No - Instead, Traffic G just shows us The Spaceman.

What kind of fairness is that.

PEOPLE!!!

Ace left the band at least TWICE - just walked away from The Boys! Bye Bye Spaceman.

So why does ACE's mug get to be plastered around at Traffic G when I am surfing?

Did ACE PAY Traffic G for this privilege? Does he OWN part of Traffic G? Shoot, what a raw deal going on over there!

Frankly, I'm still a little ticked at Ace from way back when, aren't you?

Check it out - you won't see The Demon, The Starchild or Catman.

List Bandit Promo Tools

Okay I'm back and I'm a little more focused - which is how all the GURUS of Internet Marketing and Internet BIZ say one must be in order to succeed... (wondering if I just plagiarized that from one of the THOUSANDS of marketing ebooks and reports I have sitting in my computer...nope I think the statment is public domain haha).

So the promo tools that even FREE members at List Bandit receive are:

* 5 suggested signature lines (these are worded by the experts and they WORK!)
* 4 pre-written newsletter ads
* 2 Top Sponsor ads
* 3 email ads
* 15 subject lines for emailing
* Downline Builder - 4 other income opportunities (but I'm sure they'll add more)

AND BEST OF ALL - Now, List Bandit has 9 (you read that right - NINE) attractive banners to help you promote and build your list.

(The biggest one doesn't even fit this blog template but I'm posting it anyway so you'll have an idea of how large it is - would be a great page header!)




































One of the banners is glitchy and the graphics aren't showing.....I'm going to leave it on the post because the folks at List Bandit might be in the process of fixing it. There are a lot of new things going on with this program - ALL GOOD!

They are working on giving members SPLASH PAGES and DOWNLINE BUILDER Pages, too, so I'll update on this blog as soon as those are ready!

Did I mention that List Builder is from Gary Ambrose? (No - of course I did'nt, but I am now!)...now if anyone knows about list-building it is Gary Ambrose! You can't go wrong by getting into this program right away. As mentioned already, there are MORE BENEFITS coming yet!

Gary has this system set up so that you'll be getting the most out of VERIFIED opt-in leads! The people who are going to see your promo material are going to see it because they verified to be on your list. How great is this?

You can leave me comments about what you think...

List Bandit - Improved Graphics!

As you can see on my last post, the graphics are no longer working for the List Bandit banners!

Now - half the time when you see those banners there with the li'l 'x' only at the corner, it's usually because some site went offline and took their 'stuff' with 'em.......ka-put!

But this isn't the case with List Bandit - wow - they IMPROVED their promotional tools.

I logged in to my account to send a mailer out and was nearly blown over - the new graphics really ROCK...

DUH@me - I never bothered checking this blog past the first few lines of my last post - ("Okay, well I'm feeling kind of NUTTY today..." not just THAT DAY lol) and beyond checkin' to see if my Code Amber Alert tickers were still functioning properly!

So I just showed up out of NOWHERE *looks both ways* I mean - NOWHERE - lol - to make a post to my blog about AGLOCO - 'cos the VIEWBAR is ready, up and running, and I'm excited about that 'cos I've logged my hours already this month...woo hoo FREE MONEY just for runnin' a viewbar - how great is THAT?

Anyhow - I digress a lot, eh?

So I showed up to post about the AGLOCO VIEWBAR and

BAM

I hit the dead graphics on my blog...I've already taken up enough time chitty-chattin' - I'm still in a WHACKY MOOD (Yay FREE TIME - no classes for several weeks yet - I can barely stand it!)...so I'm going to get the heck out of this blog for a few minutes, go gather the graphics - the NEW graphics from List Bandit - and I'll be back within the hour to show you all the new, cool-looking, attractive stuff that the List Bandit team just put together for members...

BTW - if you're a newbie to internet marketing and blogging as a way to earn money - this post you're reading right now is exactly how you do NOT want to present yourself to the world haha.

I don't really care today - as I said - I'm FREEEEEEEEE (for a few more weeks) and I am going to have FUN for a little while. Sheeeeesh Internet Marketing gets SO SERIOUS anyway, don't you think?

3 Things Wrong About This Post That Newbies Should Avoid:

3. Tons of SLANG
2. Mention of several 'products/opportunities' without fully explaining BENEFITS.
1. Post - NOT WELL THOUGHT-OUT, not presented clearly...


SO THE POST STANDS, FOLKS - if nothing else, I just showed a buncha newbie peeps (more slang, infraction of #3) what a nasty post looks like so that they can avoid doing the same...I'm going to continue to 'blurb' about Code Amber Alert tickers whenever I feel like it, even if I am talking about Agloco, List Bandit, Forums, Code Amber Alert tickers or whatever, in this post OR other posts (see #2 mistake above) and will also be leaving, before I hit the 'publish now' button, an Agloco banner ('cos I just found these - YAY - so I ditched my 'learn how to make banners and connect them to your referral ID' lesson. I will be leaving the Agloco banner on the blog post at the bottom (without explanation of benefits - see #2 above again) just before I get outta here to try and avoid the #1 mistake (see above) by the next time I post - haha!

I'll be back within the hour - to show you the new and awesome List Bandit banners.

Agloco Banner by AglocoBanners.com

Agloco Banner by AglocoBanners.com

Agloco Banner by AglocoBanners.com

Let me tellya - there are MORE BANNERS than you would THINK over at Agloco! These are just a certain size - there are thin skyscrapers, thick ones, little half-banners, 3 sizes of rectangular banners, squares, holy cow - there are a lot! You won't have ANY TROUBLES at all finding the right size or shape of banner for your sites or blogs...





(notice how I just stuffed this one in here - kinda sneaky eh? lol)

I'm leaving now - before I start explaining BENEFITS of Agloco (that belongs to a more well-thought out post that I have to make in the near future haha).

Take care!

Goin Crazy List Building

Okay, well I'm feelin' kind of NUTTY today and am workin' on my own list-building programs, strategies. I thought I would just make a post and show all the fantastic list-building programs that there are out on the WWW. I'm not sure why more people aren't concerned about LIST BUILDING because with these programs, every one of 'em, you can not only build your LIST for your own particular progams of interest - but you can also earn money from each of these programs as an affiliate! You can get paid to build your list of people who are going to be directed to your MAIN INTEREST programs...

Nice, eh?

I'll come back and clean up this post - I've got about 9 windows open, grabbing cool banners and such, so I want to get 'em all posted...

Here are the handy banners that LIST BANDIT gives you in your members' area:

(first, a rather plain banner with text - but it gets the point across, eh?)




(then two kinds of banners)




and

Okay now this next program is going to take up a LOT of space. I'm just going to post the banners and show you how many there are - for FREE - for you to use in promoting this program (which, in turn, builds your list - for your other interests - how cool is this, anyway?):

The program is "The List Machine" and it's BIG!
Here are the banners:

(first the itty bitty ones)








(be very careful if you use some of these with the 'click here' showing or flashing! If you're working with 'ads53n53' - this kind of blatant directing of readers to 'click here' is currently prohibited by ads****/goodle...oops 'G00913' but I'm leavin' the typo in 'cos I kinda like it lol - you know what I'm talkin' about)







(and on to the bigger better banners - say that 10 times really fast 'bigger better banners')












and lastly............BAM - the bigger better banner that looks pretty cool in html emails (that you are sending out to your growing LIST - RIGHT???)





The List Machine also has convenient signature lines ready to copy and past for your forum and email signatures, handy newsletter ads, 'top sponsor' ads, solo email mailing text, and a cool splash page. Right click and 'go to' in a new window if you'd like to check out the effective splash page from The List Machine

(he he - I just checked to make sure the link works - HOW COOL IS IT that The List Machine banners perfectly match the orange 'yo! this is a link here' feature on my blog - you know the 'mouse over effect.')

And with that, I've changed my mind about posting more of my list-building programs. I also just checked the space I have used up - WHOA - banners take up a LOT OF ROOM, huh? I will be back later on to make a different post. I'm still checkin' out all the cool banners elsewhere that I get to use for promotion!

Wow - some of you will need sunglasses to view this post - that orange colour on the banners is SOME BRIGHT, eh?

Back soon - gotta dash and close up some of these other windows before my computer complains!!
