SoManyHits.com Reviewed

Right out of the gate this company boasts a sign-up rate of 83% for people viewing the presentation video to completion. While I can not attest to that it could be legit as the program is completely free to join.

So what is the catch?

While the program is free to join, they do have upgrade options. Before I get to the upgrade option I have to mention that the free account is more than generous. You also don’t get hit with OTO’s (one time offers) when signing in to your account.

Before getting into all the benefits you get as a free member, let’s first delve into what SoManyHits.com is…

Like the sales video explains, SoManyHits.com is first and foremost a URL tracking and shortening service, meaning you can shorten all your affiliate links and track how many clicks they receive. Unlike mostly all other tracking services (even the paid ones), there is no limit on the amount of campaigns you can create or clicks you may receive during a given month before shelling out more money to keep on tracking. This is true even for free members.

They also made it easy to track multiple advertising sources from the same campaign tracking URL by simply adding a keyword identifiable to you to the end of the tracking URL. When a shortened tracking URL is followed, the hit is recorded and displayed in your back-office, complete with a break-down of where the hits came from (keywords appended).

The service also promises to create a flood of traffic to any and all campaigns that will keep on doubling. While this may sound outrageous, it actually does happen because of their unique referral system.  Well…, when I say unique, for those of you familiar with their sister site EasyCash4Ads.com, it actually makes use of the exact same 2-up referral system where your first two referrals are passed up to your sponsor into what they call traffic lines. Every person who ends up in one of your traffic lines will first have to sponsor two people who will go to their sponsor, which means that particular traffic line keeps doubling.

If you are put off by the notion that you first have to refer two people that goes to your sponsor before the system can begin working for you, the good news is that sign-ups should not be hard to come by seeing that the program is free to join and their affiliate tools also helps a lot to achieving this requirement (more on that later).   My ‘SoManyHits.com’ account is generating 2-4 new sign-ups EVERY DAY!!

Getting back to the traffic aspect, every time one of your tracking links are followed, visitors will first pass through an ad gateway, similar to services such as ad fly where they will first see an interstitial ad for a couple of seconds before being directed to the site being tracked.  That ad will be a random campaign belonging to your sponsor, so when you take into account the way traffic lines keep doubling, it gives credence to the claim that your traffic will also keep doubling. It should be noted, when you create a new campaign, you can choose to promote the campaign through your traffic lines via an interstitial ad or (for pro members) a pop-under ad. Members may also choose not to promote certain campaigns.

While there is something to be said about the annoyance of pop-under and interstitial ads, bear in mind that their target market is Internet Marketers. These are the same people signing up for programs through traffic exchanges, so I can very well see this traffic converting very well indeed.

Apart from the traffic, URL tracking and URL shortening, you also have the ability to export the contact details of everybody in your traffic lines into a CVS file to easily import to your auto-responder of choice. The great thing about this for the new member joining is that they will only end up in their sponsor’s mailing list because of the way their referral system works. This is great as the last thing I want when signing up for a new opportunity is to end up in as many mailing lists as are dependent on the size of the member’s down-line or up-line. For those who don’t yet have an auto-responder account (what are you waiting for?), you still get to message your traffic lines through an internal messaging system complete with a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor every 10 days. (Pro members can message their traffic lines every 60 hours)

The owners of SoManyHits.com realize the strength of an affiliate network and this is reflected in the tools they make available to members to promote their affiliate links. When they launched their sister site EasyCash4Ads, the IM world was abuzz with talk about their beautiful splash and capture pages. With SoManyHits they did it again with a total of 120 splash, capture and brain-teaser pages (which double as splash pages) and improved on the design by displaying an animation while the image is loading. These pages can also easily be shared as stunning image cards to your Twitter and Facebook followers with a click of a button.

Members have an abundance of emails and banners as well as some other nifty tools to promote their links, not to mention affiliate links also get promoted through their shortened tracking links which means they can actually lay claim to their product slogan of working smarter, not harder.

Getting to the upgraded features, analyzing your tracking stats really come into their own with much more detailed reports and real time charts. Platinum members also get to message their traffic lines every 60 hours as opposed to every 10 days, they have more options available to them when creating campaigns but where the pro membership really shines is in the income plan.

Platinum membership plans start at $27 for 60 days or $13.50 per month. (a quick Google search revealed most of the competition start at an average of $29/month with limited clicks). From there the options go up to $69 for 6 months ($11.50 per month), $121 for one year ($10, 08 per month) and $177 for 2 years ($7, 38 per month) As an upgraded member you will receive, $10, $20, $30 and $50 respectively every time the platinum membership is renewed. Free members will receive 40% of the commission amount while the other 60% will go to the first upgraded member in their up-line. This effectively means upgraded members will make an extra 60% commission from members who have already qualified out of their traffic lines.

Taking this up yet another notch, they also pay out performance bonuses where you could earn an additional 40% commission. Commissions are paid out twice a month and should you earn $350 during a pay period, they will add another $50 to your commission. Earn $700 and you will get an extra $100 on top of the $50 bonus you received. Earn $1000 and receive yet another $250 on top of what you already earned. From $1000 up, you will get a bonus of $400 for every $1000 you earn. Taking into consideration that upgraded members also receive 60% second tier commissions from free members who qualified out of their traffic lines, it effectively means you will earn 40% extra commission through your own efforts as well as from free members in your down-line.

From what I understand, the developers are already working on more features to be implemented that will be available to pro members. While the free plan will impress even the most critical user, members will be hard-pressed not to upgrade, especially taking the affordable upgrade options into account.

In summary, SoManyHits.com is a well-thought-out service offering a lot of value for the cash strapped marketer with a generous compensation plan and a promise to grow a traffic monster that will serve you well in time to come.

Pros:

– Unlimited campaigns with no restrictions
– Great way to grow your mailing list
– Very affordable to upgrade
– Unique referral system
– Generous compensation plan
– A freebie hunter’s dream

Cons

– Interstitial and pop-under ads

Bottom line to my review of SoManyHits.com is that this is extremely good value for money (considering it is FREE to join!!).  It is action-packed full of fantastic tools, all beneficial to Internet and Affiliate Marketers, so my recommendation is:

Sign up for the FREE account, spend some time getting used to the program and all of it’s various tools, then decide whether you want to jump into the upgraded version.

Tracking Links, Are They Essential For Your Online Business?

I am fairly certain that the vast majority of those trying to eke out a living or create a second income online, either aren’t aware of tracking links, don’t even know what they even do, or maybe have heard about them but have never bothered to set them up.

So what exactly are tracking links? (Source: http://www.brickmarketing.com)

A tracking URL is a special URL (or Uniform Resource Locator) that is used to track certain elements when a link is clicked on. Tracking URLs are most frequently used in paid advertising, to learn where clicks on links are coming from, conversion rates from visitors to customers, and other aspects of pay per click advertising that can be adjusted to draw and cultivate the desired results of a paid inclusion campaign. A tracking URL is generally a unique or specially designed to track the elements of a paid campaign, and can trace a number of different elements which can include:
1. The search engine where the visitor clicked on the tracked link
2. What keywords were used in the search query that ended with the visitor clicking on the link
3. What match type was triggered by the search query

In the simplest terms, a tracking link is a normal URL with tags (or parameters) appended to the end.

A tracking link is used to measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns, channels and activities.  You should always use a tracking link when you are directing traffic to your website from an outside source ie from social media, banners ads, emails, pay-per-click campaigns, or even blog posts such as this one.

So, for example, you might place an ad via several social media sites like say Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest,  promoting a particular website or product.  If you just use the same URL on each social media site, and you start receiving traffic to your products or website, then you will have no idea as to where that particular traffic came from ie it could be from any of (or all) 4 different social media sites!!

Effectively, you could be wasting your efforts on one or more of the sites you are advertising on, because you have no data showing which is performing the best (or maybe even not at all!!).

So this is where link tracking comes in, and it is so simple it isn’t even funny.  There are several fantastic link tracking sites available to use online, like Google Analytics, ClickMagic, Rebrandly, etc., but you will have to pay for these services.  Don’t get me wrong though, I do think that it is a service well worth paying for, as I am know it will pay dividends in the long run, even if it only means you save precious time advertising in non-converting traffic areas!!

Recently though, a new site was launched offering tracking links FOR FREE!!  Yes I know, hard to believe, but 100% true!!

I saw lots of promos about this particular new site flying around various email and marketing campaigns, so I decided to take a look, and I am so pleased I did.   I now have multiple (and I mean probably over a hundred) tracking links that I use for advertising all my different products and services, for ALL avenues that I place my ads, and the results are so beneficial that I just love this site.

The site is called ‘So Many Hits’, developed FOR internet marketers BY internet marketers, and includes such features as Detailed Analysis, Automated List Building, Integrated Messaging and a Cross Platform.

With unlimited URL shortening & link tracking (including detailed reports showing what works and where you are wasting time), the speediest automated list builder bar none (no set up required and unstoppable once started!), the ability to send promotional messages to down-line every 10 days with rich media, images and video, and being hosted in the cloud and compatible with all devices across all browsers, this site really is a game-changer.

The back office for Desktop Users is both simplistic yet full of info, including….

• Full side-bar site menu
• Side-by-side info blocks
• Full sized charts & images
• Birds-eye view of all campaigns
• Full training
• Affiliate links, Banner Ads, Splash Pages, Capture Pages, Blog Posts, Email Templates

 

Setting up a tracking link takes only a few seconds, and you can then add your own keywords which gives you detailed analysis of exactly where your hits are coming from.   To see how easy it is to set up tracking links within ‘So Many Hits’, click on the video link below, it really doesn’t get any easier than this…

So if you are serious about developing your online business, want to save both time and money on your advertising campaigns, and be one step ahead of your competitors, tracking links is certainly a step in the right direction, and ‘So Many Hits’ has all you need to get started.

Life After PayPal…

If you are an online or affiliate marketer, you will no doubt have been using PayPal as your payment platform at some time during your career, maybe even it is your ONLY payment platform.

And if so, you could possibly be among the tens of thousands of PayPal users who have had their account shut down and their funds frozen.  Certainly not ideal!!

Up until now, PayPal has been the ‘go-to’ site for online payments.  It worked perfectly, had many tools to make receiving and sending payments so easy, and for most was the perfect payment set-up for their online business.   Of course there are others out there doing exactly the same thing, but PayPal has been at the forefront of online payments for a very long time, which makes it all the more puzzling as to why they all of a sudden decided to close accounts and freeze funds!   One of the hardest hit industries seems to be those involved in Internet or Affiliate Marketing, leaving most users without a way forward to receive payments for their products or services.   Not ideal again!!

But luckily there is a solution, and a very good one.  The ORU Marketplace has many features, and while it is not an online payment processor as such, users can transfer money amongst themselves, for FREE!

But that isn’t the only feature of ORU Marketplace.   It also has a social platform, very similar to other social platforms available online, but it is a great place to separate your business away from your personal social network.

ORU Marketplace also has a (funnily enough) a marketplace, where you can list your services and products, so offers users a great platform to promote from.

But I guess the real big kicker with ORU Marketplace is the Premium Membership Elite Graphite VISA Debit Card.  Features include:

1. No credit checks, guaranteed approval
2. No minimum balance
3. Fee free, global member to member transfers
4. Instant fund transfers
5. In the US, set up direct deposit with your employer
6. Pay your bills online
7. Withdraw cash from thousands of ATMs
8. Good wherever Visa is accepted

This is such a handy yet powerful tool to now have available at your disposal.  Your money is available to you 24/7, and no-one is ever going to close your account or freeze your funds.  WOW, what a relief!!

The last great feature is that you can also earn affiliate commissions for every new affiliate who signs up under your link and then upgrades to Premium.  Upgrading is extremely affordable, with a one time set-up fee of US$24-95 (which gets your your ORU Visa debit Card), and then a very low monthly fee of US$5-95.

I only set up my account (in Australia) less than 2 weeks ago, and my VISA Debit Card arrived in the mail yesterday, such a prompt and efficient service.   Now I am able to dispense with PayPal on my various websites and introduce my customers to the ORU Marketplace.  Then once they sign up we are free to send or receive funds as we please.  So Simple!!

I have created a page all about ORU Marketplace on my website, click HERE to find out more, and put your PayPal woes behind you once and for all.

Getting Traffic To Your Websites – FOR FREE!

As an Internet and Affiliate Marketer for several years now, I have certainly been through all the trials and errors of trying to attract traffic to my various websites. Through this journey I have experienced success, failure, disappointment, and been on the receiving end of countless scams and groundless programs offering mega riches, but actually delivering NOTHING!!

I am sure you have all been through something similar. It can become quite disheartening to put in so much effort creating a portfolio online and building websites to advertise your products or services, only to find you aren’t getting quality traffic (or any traffic at all!!) visiting your site.

Because of this I wanted to create a site where newbies (and even experienced marketers) could go to FOR FREE and learn all about generating traffic online. Many new online marketers simply don’t know where to even start, and often get sucked into the hype that online scams offer, only to be left empty handed and severely out of pocket.

So I created ‘GLOBAL TRAFFIC INTEGRATION‘, a free website full of information about getting traffic to your site/s (both FREE and PAID), how and where to advertise, how to use Autoresponders, and I have also included a couple of income-earning sites as well.

It is hardly surprising that over 90% of online businesses fail, and the main reason isn’t that they couldn’t get traffic to their sites, but because they simply didn’t have a system (funnel) to generate the necessary sales $$ to survive in an online world where there is simply so much competition.

But if you do have good traffic, and you combine that with an expert funnel system, then you are certainly way ahead of the majority of online entrepreneurs!

And that is where ‘Global Traffic Integration‘ comes in…

Our system can provide you with the traffic, set up the perfect follow-up (funnel) system, give you the online tools needed to survive, and even provide you with other income-generating sites to add to your own.

And the system itself IS ALL FOR FREE!!!

If you want to be successful online, then maybe you owe it to yourself to check out ‘Global Traffic Integration‘, I look forward to helping get your site noticed on the web.

Until next time,

Traffic Traffic Traffic

I have been involved with internet and affiliate marketing for a number of years now, and am well aware of the sayings like “the money is in the list” and “without web traffic you don’t have an online business”, both of which are very true.

So I am always on the lookout for new and varied ways of advertising my various sites and products to the world, both via FREE and PAID methods.   I have always used Traffic Exchanges, Banner and Text Ads, Facebook and Paid advertising, plus of course blogging via WordPress.   All of these methods work, in varying degrees of success, but nonetheless they do work and they do provide a reasonable amount of traffic.

Then, a couple of days ago, I stumbled upon a traffic building site purely by chance (actually I honestly can’t say where I even joined it from, it was that random!!), that has completely blown me away.   In terms of pricing (it is free to join, obviously with upgrades though, which I will share later in this post), in terms of its functionality, and in terms of how quickly it builds a traffic list that you can access, is like nothing else available today on the internet.

This one new site has completely changed how I will be conducting my online advertising from now on, it has given me totally new direction, and such an increased enthusiasm in what I do online, that I can hardly keep away from my computer.

With most conventional list building methods, it takes a very long time to build a list of any significance, unless you spend an extraordinary amount of money on advertising of course!!

Well this site changes that irrevocably!!   I am still getting my head around how it all works, but I have certainly grasped all the basics, and am avidly learning more and more as I go.   My thirst to 100% understand this new system is insatiable, I want to implement every part of it without haste, as I am already seeing the results of its power within a couple of days of joining.

The program is called ‘Global Moneyline‘, and (quite simply) the way that it works is that every single person who joins after you do, is added to your ‘Moneyline’.   You are then able to contact EVERY SINGLE MEMBER in your ‘Moneyline’, regardless of whether they are your direct referral or have been referred by anyone else!!

WOW, amazing!!   By the end of my first 24 hours after joining, there were over 130 new members in my ‘Moneyline’, after 48 hours it had grown to over 300, after 72 hours to just over 600, and now (part way through my 4th day since joining) it has reached a whopping 982 members!!   I can’t believe this, there is nothing else on the internet today that does this, not that I have found anyway.

And as the list grows, I message them all.   I am able to invite them to join my other sites that I am promoting, and am able to open dialogue with them should they choose to reply to my message.

So what is the difference between the Free Membership and the various Upgrades?    Mainly, it is the ability to contact the members in your ‘Moneyline’ more easily.  If you remain at the Free level you are only able to contact members one by one, the Bronze Level ($20 one time cost to upgrade) you can contact members 20 at a time, the Gold Level ($50 annually) you can contact members 50 at a time, etc etc as you move up through the various upgrades.

And as members upgrade, YOU RECEIVE 100% of the upgrade fee.  Awesome hah!!

So that part of the system is aimed at those that have various amounts of time available to them ie if you have plenty of spare time on your hands to individually contact each member in your ‘Moneyline’, then the Free option is perfectly fine.   But if you are a bit strapped for time, like me as I also have a full-time job, then the upgrades are very helpful in regard to time-saving.   And the upgrades are easily affordable to anyone.

I upgraded to the Silver Membership on the second day after joining, as I could immediately see the potential in this amazing new list building program, and as funds become available from my promotion of ‘Global Moneyline‘ and my other sites I have just started promoting through it, I will upgrade further.   Obviously the higher the upgrade, the higher the benefits become, like all programs, with increased visibility online and the ability to contact an infinite number of potential customers as the membership grows.

And believe me it is growing!!  Not just a few a day, it is growing hourly!!   From what I have seen in the past few days it seems to be growing by over 300 new members EVERY DAY, that is phenomenal!!

And I am able to contact EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!  I love this program….

So if you are serious about building your business online, this is the program to help you.

And I mean, seriously help you!!

So why don’t you join me.  It is FREE TO JOIN (although I must emphasise the upgrades are worthwhile and totally affordable), so what have you got to lose?

Click HERE to get started, you won’t regret it, I promise.

I hope to see you on my team soon.  OK, I am off to play with this program some more, I can’t get enough of it lol!!

Website Traffic, How Do I Get An Endless Supply Of It?

There is no doubt that if you have any type of online presence, whether it be a blog, a Facebook Page, or an e-commerce store, the YOU NEED TRAFFIC.

You have probably heard the sayings like ‘without website traffic you don’t have an online business’ or ‘the money is in the list’.   These are both so very true, why have a beautifully laid out website or Facebook Page if no-one is looking at it.   Or having an impeccably designed e-commerce store but there is no traffic to it, and therefore NO SALES!!

Just the same as any bricks-and-mortar street store, you aren’t going to stay in business very long if you don’t have a steady stream of paying customers.   So how do you attract these potential customers to your ‘door’?    If you had a normal street store you would have advertising hoardings at the front of store, posters in the windows, and maybe ‘specials’ signs throughout the store.  Customers see your outside advertising, hopefully become attracted to something they see or need, and then are excited once they step inside your store and see many more bargains.   To keep them returning to your store you may offer discounts or loyalty cards, or special coupons for repeat customers, all designed for them to come back to your store time and time again.

Online selling is no different.   Except that to attract customers in the first place we advertise via bright and colourful ‘splash pages’, offering something free or extremely cheap, in return for obtaining the potential customers name and email address (via a web form).

Then once we have that, we follow up with ‘something they want or need’, we know they are interested in what you have because they took the time to give you their contact details in the first place.   Obviously they were searching for your product, or something similar, so you know they are ‘ready to spend’.   And because you now have their email address, you can offer them further products or services, making them repeat customers.

But marketers online have so much competition, everyone is advertising fervently for those elusive customers, and only those with a constant supply of traffic to their sites will survive.   And only if they have a good product, at the right price!!

So what methods are available to online marketers to attract customers to their ‘doors’ (sites)?  There are many, some are free and some come at a cost.  I like the FREE ones!!

The main free methods are Traffic Exchanges, and there are literally thousands of them to choose from.  Some are extremely efficient, and provide a great platform for banner advertising or posting solo ads, others are quite pathetic and are really only there wanting to take your money once you upgrade, but offer very little in return.

I have used many different TE’s over the past few years, I have discarded many that fall into the ‘pathetic’ category, but I have continued to use several others that, even at the free level, are a fantastic advertising medium with thousands of active members.   ‘Active’ is the key word here, it is pointless advertising on sites that have massive (free) memberships, but only a handful of those members are constantly viewing the banner or solo ads, actually looking for something to buy.

That is why I wrote the e-book ‘Traffic to Infinity’.   I wanted newbies to the internet and affiliate marketing game to be introduced to tried-and-proven TE’s, so they don’t have to waste their time, and money, surfing thousands and thousands of other affiliates ad’s, for absolutely no return.

I wanted to take all the leg-work out of their new online adventure, to save them all those wasted hours surfing ad after ad, without realising that probably very few people were even seeing their one or two ads they placed when joining.   All the TE’s in my e-book ‘Traffic to Infinity’ are ones that I use on a very regular basis, and I can see from my statistics that people are in fact reading my small number of ads, because they are clicking through to my sites.

Of course only a handful of those that click through actually ever buy anything, that’s just the way it is with online marketing, but at least they do.   And by using the rinse-and-repeat method, by constantly using these popular TE’s, and by rotating my banner and solo ads, I get results.   I may not be getting mega rich, but I am being rewarded for my efforts.   I have written several e-books on various topics, mainly about internet marketing methods, and the regular sales of these items is the inspiration to keep doing it.

My latest e-book, ‘Traffic to Infinity’, not only gives purchasers access to many good TE’s, it also includes access to 2 income-generating sites, how to set up advertising, how to set up an Autoresponder (2 different programs), email templates to add to those Autoresponders, and even several training videos.

All for less than the price of a cup of coffee!!

Maybe you would like to take a look at what I am offering.   These sites all work for me, if you follow all the step-by-step guidance contained within the e-book, then there is no reason it shouldn’t work for you also.

10 Reasons Why Being an SFI Team Leader Rocks

(Kindly reprinted from SFI)

Success sure is sweet!  Just ask anyone who’s ever built a successful business. In SFI, your potential for success really amps up once you reach the rank of Team Leader. Not only do you expand your access to several income streams, you achieve a MAJOR step toward building a long-term, successful business!

Of course, ALL Affiliates get access to SFI’s free training, marketing tools, compensation opportunities, and other goodies, but here are 10 MORE reasons why being an SFI Team Leader really rocks:

 1. More Free TCredits every month!

Every Team Leader gets up to 24 FREE TripleClicks TCredits every month to use for member listings, to bid on Pricebenders Auctions, to participate in contests, play games, download songs from TripleClicks Music, and more.

2. More shares in the TC Executive Pool!

In addition to one TripleClicks Executive Pool share for every VP earned that every Affiliate gets each month, Team Leaders get matching VP shares for VP earned by all EA2s in their downline…up to 12 levels, including their CSAs! DTLs also get double matching VP on affiliates on their 12th level!

3. Even MORE TripleClicks Executive Pool shares!

 As a Team Leader, for every 10 personal VP you earn, you get bonus shares in the TripleClicks Executive Pool. Advance up the ranks of Team Leader, get more Milestone Shares–up to 18 shares every month!

4. New, free Co-Sponsored Affiliates every month!

Team Leaders get up to 6 monthly share allotments of Second Home CSAs–CSAs who were previously assigned a Co-Sponsor but were forfeited due to the Co-Sponsor not maintaining required EA status.

5. Expanded leverage to transform your PSAs into Team Leaders!

The ability to reassign PSAs up to 12 generations to motivated, up-and-coming leaders in your downline can help you encourage, develop, and motivate your Team Leaders. And, remember: every time you develop a new committed TL, you’ve created another residual income stream that can keep bringing in money for you with minimum attention on your part!

6. Even MORE power to grow your SFI organization!

Team Leaders can also reassign their CSAs to their downline affiliates–up to 12 generations. This can be a powerful tool for providing incentives to your affiliates to upgrade and maintain EA and above every month!

7. Extra DD invites to help you expand your core group of select PSAs.

With up to 20 Designated Diamond Invitations, you can use this valuable resource to create a strong, core group of officially designated, select PSAs that you’ll work closely with to build a successful team. Find out more: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=215366

8. Exclusive TL support and resources!

We LOVE our leaders…that’s why we pride ourselves in giving our TLs the quick support response they need to keep their businesses strong. The SFI Forum also features a Team Leader category exclusively for TLs to brainstorm, ask questions, and get direct feedback from other SFI Leaders, as well as SFI President Gery Carson and others at SFI Corporate!

9. Creative freedom over new SFI ads and promotions!

STLs and above can let their creative juices flow by writing up their own ads and promotions to suit their local area demands, marketing focus, or special strategy. NOTE: All ads and promotions must first be submitted to SFI for fast approval (usually 1 to 2 business days).

10. Bragging rights and sense of accomplishment!

 This might not seem all that significant at first, but never underestimate the far-reaching benefits of setting goals and reaching them! Your growing confidence and experience naturally shines through and positively affects your relationship with others in your downline. Happiness is contagious, and your team members will naturally want to emulate (i.e., duplicate) your efforts! 

This is great content with 10 fantastic reasons to join SFI and advance up through the ranks.  It may be a little more difficult to advance through the ranks now, due to recent changes within SFI, but to me that is all the more reason to try harder, to become a better Team leader, to coach and mentor my team even harder. 

If you would like to join my team and receive this training, skip over to my brand new site http://www.diamondsfi.com, let me get you onto the track to success, with a massive amount of training and resources.

The ‘Newbie Guru’

I had a very interesting comment made to me a few weeks ago by one of my affiliates, in his Nigerian broken-English words he told me “you are the Newbie Guru, so much helpful when I first start”.   At first I thought not much of it, I took the praise because I had obviously helped someone, and thanked him for his kind words, it is not every day that someone extols nice words for my work.

Then by pure chance yesterday I was watching a video by E.Brian Rose (Internet Pioneer/Public Speaker/Author), about ‘calling yourself what others call you’, which I guess is another spin on branding yourself.   Now before watching the video I would never in my wildest dreams thought that I would ever find myself with, or even deserve, a title of any sort within the affiliate marketing arena.  But then I thought back to all the affiliates I have coached and mentored over the past 5 years, and especially within the last 30 months as a Team Leader within SFI, I thought to myself “hell, why not, I guess if the cap fits, wear it!!”

E.Brian Rose is an authority on all-things-internet-marketing, and his daily video’s are certainly an inspiration, if not mind-boggling!!  I have only just started receiving his video’s, but reading back on many of his blog posts also, it is very easy to get the feeling that this guy knows what he is talking about, and so I have decided to take his praiseworthy advice and now decided to take the label as the ‘Newbie Guru’.

I have absolutely no idea where this ‘title’ is going to lead me, or what returns I will get over the coming months (I don’t think it will last years, despite the fact I would love to be known as that for many years to come!), but I am all for living in the moment.   The fact that one affiliate in my downline recognised what I have been striving to achieve over the years (help affiliate newbies get started), apart from also eke out a meagre return for my efforts, is not only humbling, but also a nice recognition that I think I will cling onto for a while yet, if I may!!

And besides, what have I got to lose?  I am certainly not embarrassing myself, after all it was someone else who gave me this ‘title’.  And isn’t this just another form of ‘branding oneself’ on the internet, like all the forums tell us to do?   I guess having some sort of title is taking it to the extreme, but then again someone (and hopefully others) have recognised what I am trying to achieve, that is, get newbie affiliates started in their new online business without falling prey to all the scams.   My major aim (apart from making a living from affiliate marketing), is to guide others and teach them from my mistakes.

If that means I attract the title of ‘Newbie Guru’, then so be it.   I can live with that for as long as it lasts!!   If I can get you started also, then I would love to have you in my team and provide you the same coaching and mentoring as those previously.

Would love to receive peoples thoughts and feedback on this one, as it is a little out of my normal league.

Take care, until my next post….

Just When I Thought It Couldn’t Get Better!!

If you have been following my posts you will know I am an Internet and Affiliate Marketer, having dabbled in this for the past few years, but only seriously in the last 2 years.

I am no different to tens of thousands of other marketers out there who have been scammed over the years, but luckily I also found a couple of genuine programs that pay me monthly commissions, and to be honest I was quite happy just plodding along and receiving my monthly income.   It wasn’t much, but certainly enough to keep me interested, and each month I reinvest my earnings back into my online business to slowly build it up.

A week or so back another program came to my attention (and I see hundreds of them every month!!), I signed up for the free version because it had something that appealed to me, but then literally parked it without any further involvement.  Until today!!

I took another look at it, and from what I read I liked it, but I had heard it all before, so was a little sceptical.   And then I thought, why not, and upgraded to the Gold Membership.  This upgrade is for a monthly membership, which I always steer clear of, but for some reason I was attracted to this program and what it was saying it would deliver, so took the plunge.

Well I am glad I did.  Once I was in, I had the usual quick flick around the web site to see what it was all about, and then grabbed a coffee and settled in to start watching all the instructional videos. WOW!!  What a program, action-packed full of so many tools I desperately need as an Internet and Affiliate Marketer, and all in one place.

I now have the tools to create landing and sales pages, and so easily by simply copying any one of many templates and then just changing anything I want.   I can create an indefinite number of sub domains (I did have to buy the main domain, but that is OK), and then mix and match these sub domains with a raft of autoresponder templates and sales pages.

This is freakin’ awesome!!  I have seen similar programs that have offered features of this type, but most of them are far too complicated and I just gave up.   This one is so simple it isn’t even funny, and there are so many training videos (in the Gold Membership area only), that even if you did get a little stuck somewhere along the way, you just find the appropriate training video and get yourself back on track.

Another great feature, apart from all the tools that I now have at my disposal, is that I can also earn $6 for every new affiliate I sign up, and I just know that won’t be difficult either, because it will be such an easy program to on-sell.

Luckily I have a few days off, because I am so looking forward to getting totally involved with this program.  I have already set up a few sub domains and created a couple of my own splash pages, now I am ready to start promoting them via all the social and paid networks I already use.   This is so exciting, I just know I am going to take my online presence to a new level.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better!!
