Weekly Advertising Tip: Traffic Exchanges

For every person that says Traffic Exchanges don't work, another will tell you how they work wonderfully. I can tell you that they do work, to an extent, but what and how you promote makes ALL the difference.

I was on the fence as to what to write about this week. There are so many options, but I read a post this morning that gave me some new ideas, and I decided to go with some offline marketing tactics. The article I was reading this morning was on 37 Ways to Re purpose a Single Blog Post. This was a good post, and it prompted me to think about how those older posts could be used offline.

I had to make a comment that, if you are trying to market online and you're not on Facebook, you should just quit. Facebook is that important.

Big MLM Tip: Emotions in Marketing
Published on 2012-03-27 15:14:00
EmotionsSurely you have heard the expression "sex sellls". This is a true statement, but does not tell the whole story. The rest of that story is, " Emotions sell, and sexual attraction is one of the strongest emotions, therefore sells best". Of course, that's a bit long winded in comparison.

Well, the holiday season is upon us again. It's the time of year when people smile more, laugh more, and are generally more pleasant.

They derive their happiness from within, and project it onto the world around them. All major religions or philosophical teachings will tell you the same thing. True pe [..]

Today I want to talk about another craze that is becoming quite popular in the MLM industry. Almost daily I am approached with another MLM company selling electric power. Most focus entirely on this as a company, and fall into the category of a One Trick Pony (link to my post from yesterday), which has its own set of issues.

Big MLM Tip - One Trick Pony
Published on 2011-10-24 12:58:00
The MLM world is full of companies that fall into the "One Trick Pony" category. As a matter of fact, I would say that this accounts for a large percentage of MLM Companies. What is a One Trick Pony? It is a company that offers only one product or service. You could widen this definition to include companies with a single product line. A single product might be okay to start, but more should be added soon. So, what's wrong with a single product company? We all have our niche, but a single produ [..]

There are a lot of lead generating systems out there. I will not name names, but you have seen them. While these systems are better than buying leads, they still have a habit of creating mindless drones. The biggest issue facing most of these lead generating systems is a lack of community. Sure, you can use some paid ads and pull massive amounts of untargeted leads, but if you are not building relationships, it is a house of cards. Even if a large percentage of these people did join you, which i [..]
