Downline Building

Monday, September 29th, 2008

This question is often asked. How do I refer others? How do I build my downlines for Soaring4Traffic? I work hard to refer others but am having no success? This applies to any program where building a downline is truly beneficial.

There really isn’t one single answer to this question. What works for one may or may not work for others. The only thing I can relate to anyone is what I’ve seen and how the most new referrals come to Soaring4Traffic.

The most successful members with large downlines have a list of subscribers. In other words subscribers with whom they’ve built a relationship and follow their recommendations. My personal favorite list building technique is the IMSF system.

Of course many of our new members found us from advertising in other exchanges. Not only from advertising our provided splash pages but from members creating their own personal splash pages. Some of the most notable examples would be Mark Wieneke, Janine Ambrose, Dan Beaupre and many others.

Many new members also come from the downline builders in other traffic exchanges. They do work so be sure to enter your referral ID’s in any traffic exchange that has downline builders included.

Three of the most effective to date has been Hit2Hit, 4×4Hits and Hit Safari. And lest you forget Soaring4Traffic has over 60 good exchanges in the downline builder which also creates your surf console.

In fact not only traffic exchanges that have downline builders, but other popular programs as well. For instance we receive new members daily from PageSwirl, Traffic Tornando, Traffic Hoopla, Leisure Audio Books and Affiliate Funnel. In other words, check all programs you promote. If they have a downline builder, be sure to enter your info.

There are many other ways to create a steady flow of new members. Blogging, writing articles, reviews and recommendations. Gina Weiss does the TE Corner Blog. My friend John Dilbeck is an accomplished blogger and Squidoo Lens user. Another Squidoo master would be Tim Thomas.

Other advertising methods would be credit based Safelists, and a couple of fairly new and unique programs that I have been using lately, like Downline Builder Direct and Fast Action Ads.

There are literally hundreds of ways and thousands of programs you can use to build your referrals in Soaring4Traffic and other affiliate programs. Hopefully some of the ideas and programs mentioned will provide you with ideas that would work for you.

This post is getting a tad long and has many links to review. Some examples of other members techniques and several programs, many of which have my personal referral links. Get the idea? When writing a review, blog post or article, leave your links when ever possible. :)

This is by no means a list of all possibilities but hopefully will answer some of your questions on where to start. Building downlines in traffic exchanges can be very beneficial, not only for tons of residual traffic but commissions as well.

Downlines will tend to become lazy at times and inactive. If you have the option to communicate as you do in Soaring4Traffic, email your downline. Don’t go spamming them, just send an email, offer your assistance, let them know what has worked for you. You could offer an incentive of extra credits for their continued surfing activity.

Be sure to give them your name and email address so they can communicate with you.

How about an extra 100 bonus credits? Share ideas that have been successful for you in the comments below. If you have created a special splash page, blog, squidoo lens, or perhaps a downline building system that has worked for you, tell us about it.

Leave your comments, url link in the proper text box in the comment, and of course your Soaring4Traffic username so I can add your 100 credits. :)

Maybe sharing your ideas will trigger something for other members. By the way, get ready, we are planning a referral contest very soon. Over 9,500 members now and we want to reach 10,000 asap. :)

Traffic Exchange Rankings?

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Soaring4Traffic’s popularity, activity and rankings are on the rise thanks mainly to our very supportive and responsive members. So how do they do it? How do they refer others? How do they build their ever increasing downlines, residual traffic and commissions?

Many use the traffic exchange downline builder in S4T, which also creates the surf console to generate thousands of credits and referrals in other exchanges for them to advertise Soaring4Traffic. Over 60 of the top exchanges listed now with the ease of controlling and generating traffic to the max.

I have the luxury of seeing where each new member comes from. With the variety of links used and such a broad spectrum of coverage our growth is steady and consistent which is one of the main reasons our ranking, activity and awesome membership is one of the best!

Now, honestly I have no idea how some of these ranking sites work, what data they use to do their ranking, etc. All I know is that it is good for all our members as it tends to bring in a flood of new members each time our rankings increase. Some examples: Traffic Hoopla raised our ranking to #19 this past Tuesday. Our first time in the top 20. :)

Affiliate Funnel now has us ranked as #20. We have been there before, but usually are ranked around #21. This one I do know how the ranking works, depends solely on YOU the members to vote. :)

Tim Linden’s Startxchange “Top Traffic Exchanges” has Soaring4Traffic ranked at #12, which has been steady and consistent for several weeks now. As I understand it, this is based entirely on member activity, logins per day on average. Also on Traffic Exchange List, Soaring4Traffic is currently ranked #14, not sure how this ranking works.

There are many more ranking sites, too many to mention, some we are not ranked at all nor get mentioned, but that is not our greatest concern. Our main concern is results for our members, let the ranking chips fall where they may.

Rankings are great and beneficial for our entire membership but they mean absolutely nothing unless members are seeing results. And I’m very proud to say that from the emails and correspondence we are receiving long before these rankings, members are giving S4T a high mark. That is the best ranking possible.

My original reason for this posting was to highlight some of our members and how they effectively promote. Since this post is already getting too long, we will save that for our next post. Wouldn’t you like to know how they do it? Not only within the traffic exchange world but also outside. Stay tuned.

Would also be nice to leave your comments, let us know how you advertise and promote Soaring4Traffic. Since new members benefit all involved, sharing your ideas could be very beneficial to our entire membership growth. (9,400 + as of this writing) :)

Thank you for your support!

Internet Marketing Success-No Excuses

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Just finished reading Soren Jordansen’s new 41 page Internet Marketing Success Formula ebook. Now why do I say no excuses. The reasoning is quite simple. If you read this informative ebook and actually put the suggestions into practice to build your list, there will be no excuses why you shouldn’t start making money or more money than you ever have before online.

Written in easy to understand language, step by step with tools needed, plus the opportunity to pass it on freely to your downline members and current subscribers.

Now to the meat and potatoes. Soren didn’t write this book for his health and spend the amount of money he did just for the sake of spending money. He is an Internet Marketer after all. But the fact is, you can download the book and read it for free.

Or you can take him up on his OTO, make more money from the book as an affiliate and get some very valuable downloads probably worth 10 times or more the price he’s asking right now.

Soren wrote this ebook based on a major survey of his lists and a lot of feedback from his members and blog readers.

The end result is a formula that makes it almost impossible for you to fail. Even if you are completely new to internet marketing, I can almost guarantee you that you will start making money online - WHEN and IF you apply the steps you will discover in this book.

And even if you already have a thriving Internet marketing business, I’m sure you are missing some of the key steps Soren has laid out. So my point is, its not just for “newbies” for lack of a better word.

I’m going to step out on a limb here and say you really should take the OTO when and if you get the chance to see it. You will raise your affiliate commissions, be able to rebrand the book with your id’s and have a marketing tool to build your list that has real value. Here is the link: Internet Marketing Success Formula, let me know what you think. By the way, I did make the purchase. :)

Let’s see now, what else do you need to help in building your list? Lead capture pages of course! Of course professional graphics can get expensive, but if you are on my list and been following anything I’ve had to say lately you know that problem is solved also. Just download the graphics package being offered by Justin Ledvina of Shark Graphics before he changes his mind.

Told ya there are no more excuses, just download the products, put your plan into action, and start building your list to really start earning online like you wanted too from the beginning.

Step 1, download and read the book. Step 2, download the graphics and setup your lead capture pages. Step 3, get those new lead capture pages rotating in traffic exchanges, safelists, and any other advertising venues you have online. Stop procrastinating, get it done!

And by all means don’t forget to continue Soaring with Eagles! :)

As always, comments are welcome, discussion is a good thing.
