TE Success

\"\" 
   
If you avoid making the following common
mistakes you are much more likely to be successful
on traffic exchanges. If you’re capable of sticking it out.

Do not Use Generic Affiliate Pages! 

Your advertisement looks exactly like everyone else’s. If you get a sale it’s purely by luck. You probably would do better playing the lotto.

Rule 1
. Learn  how to create your own  pages and banners.

I recommend the following two programs for creating your own splash pages

and banners.

A.  
SplashPageMaker

B.  
InstantBannerCreator

C.  
AdCreator

If you understand the prospective viewer of your page it makes
it a lot easier to get your desired result.

If you are promoting something that is of use to marketers this has to be one of the most targeted markets you can find.

Take a few minutes and put yourself in the average surfer’s shoes.

What exactly would be of interest to them?

First thought that comes to mind is anything that will increase their
results or save them time and or money.

Because you only have a few seconds you need a way to grab your viewers attention.

This can be a killer headline, humor, a graphic that just rocks.
                                  \"\"
Stop trying to sell stuff nobody wants!

The key is it has to get the surfer’s attention at once.
Once you have that attention you need a few points of text that
will arouse the curiosity in the viewer. This will create the feeling that they just need to know more. The human mind hates to stop half way.


Think about it. How many bad movies have you watched just because you had to know how it ended? Now your call to action is the final key.

Be very specific about what you want the person to do. You should only
give people two choices Leave or click.

If you vacillate then they will too and won’t make any choice.

If you are not comfortable with HTML or don't have hosting
you might want to check out
SplashPageMaker or adCreator.
They both have a point and click simple splash page maker and will host your page for you.

You need to use Splash pages!
 
Let’s define the term first – Splash Page – a quick loading,
attention grabbing page with a clear call to action
  
Attention, Curiosity, Action

Track Your Ads

There is little point in advertising If you don’t track the performance of your ads. As little as changing one word can make the difference between selling your product or NOT. You need to know how people are responding to your ads. I use three programs to track the performance of my ads.
 
I use
TE Toolbox for my emails, and PPC and VitalViralPro & TE Toolbox for My TE ads.
 
If you’re not tracking your ads You’re leaving money on the table.
 
Use a Rotator
 
VitalViralPro  & TE Toolbox both have a rotator that’s integrated with the program. Now keep in mind that you don’t want to advertise all your products with one entry on a Traffic Exchange.

What you want to do is create 9 or 10 ads for the same product
and rotate them while tracking their performance you’ll quickly find out which ones are working and
which ones aren’t.
 
 Build Your List
 \"\"
 
You’ve heard this before and I’ll repeat it again because it’s so important.
 
“The Money is in the List”

When people are surfing at a fever pitch trying to generate credits for ads for their own advertising. You have probably 2 seconds to grab their attention to your ad before they move on to the next site.
However, Email gets looked at at a much higher percentage. Even Listeffects or other safe lists can generate up to a 4-5% click thru rate. But your List can generate a even higher percentage. Sign Up for a auto-responder and learn how to create a squeeze page.  If you don’t. You probably will wind up in the 93% that don’t make a dime on the internet.
 
Find something you can give away for Free that people on Traffic
Exchanges want and build your squeeze page around it.
 
Don’t get discouraged, It takes a while to build a list. Keep in mind that those people that monster lists all started with one sign-on.
 
Here’s a couple of sources to help you build your squeeze page.
 
1.  VitalViralPro – Has a squeeze Page builder built right in.
If you already have it for tracking you don’t have to spend
a dime more to use the service
2.  Instant squeeze Page Maker. - This is an excellent resource
for creating squeeze Pages.
Instant List Empire In My opinion is the best safelist available for someone starting out who doesn’t have a list.  He also has a LOT of FREE resources to assist you in building your down line and list.

Any of these auto-responders will work for you. Try
them free, then decide which one works best for you.

                                   use for my newsletter on this

The above services have extensive training on how
to use their systems. Again, Try them for FREE then pick
the one you feel most comfortable with.
Brand Yourself
Traffic Exchanges and the internet in general are difficult
places to market your goods. There are so many crooks
and scam artists out there that you need to build up a level
of trust. If users see you around for a reasonable length of
time they decide that you’re not some fly-by-night artist.
And will trust the products that you are selling.
 ALWAYS deal with people in a very ethical manner.
All it takes is one unhappy person to ruin your reputation
on the internet. The following programs allow you to brand
the products or services that you are marketing.

1.
     VitiaViralPro -  This is an amazing program that does a LOT of what you need to do in Traffic Exchanges.

2.     TE Toolbox –   Has a brander and other utilities that will make your life much easier working in Traffic Exchanges
.
If you follow the above suggestions and are persistent enough to stick through it you’re very likely to be a success.
