I found this cool site where you can play around with different How to for Dummies pages. Try it out, it is fun!

ClixSense now with AlertPay

2010-12-15T02:05:00.000-08:00

I remeber a few years back, when the PTC-program ClixSense launched. I was one of those happy fellows that got along nearly from the start and that way made myself a pretty nice down-line. I also remember the joy I felt when I got my first check from them, I think it was somewhere around $30 in cash, and how I figured my luck was made!

I also, too well, remember when I took it to my bank.

They looked at it, glanced at me like I was something the dog had dragged in then glanced at my check, shook their heads and told me to go home and use it as writing-paper. Basically.

The word disappointment do not cover how I felt. I was devastated. I felt sick.

The worst thing about it is the fact that I was not alone up here in Scandinavia having these feelings. I had several friends telling me the same story, over and over again.

Well, what I did was plain simple. I wrote to them, asked them to hold every single cent until my saldo reach $250 - because that way the sum would cover the bank fees when I exchanged it to REAL money - and forgot the whole thing.

And I had the check -$250 minus the fees fos ClixSense, minus the fees for the bank I had in my hand 37€! - "Wow!" I tought, that's more than some people make in a year in Botswana. Wow, I also realized, that's less than I make in one hour normally.

So, simply of curiosity, I signed in to my ClixSense account, browsed around for a while, and - suddenly - I notced: They now accept AlertPay! HAH! Saved by the bell, or something like that! No more check-disasters, no more $3 per payment, no more problems whatsoever! The cash goes to my AlertPay account automatically every time it reaches $10, in my case about twice a week!

So NOW, maybe, I can feel the joy and happiness I felt two years ago.

And, oh yes there is one "and" again, I will surprise my wife with a few bottles of good wine and something nice to eat tonight! ;)

Sick Leave For Online Marketers

2010-12-08T22:06:00.000-08:00

I turned in with a cold. Not bad, but seriously sick enough to feel like staying in bed for a couple of days. Sure, I called in sick (heh!), and my bosses (me, myself and I) were very understanding. But I could not promise myself any paid days off. Paid sick days, often referred to as sick leave or paid sick leave, guarantees workers time off to stay home when they are sick without losing pay or their jobs. A deal that only partly can be applied in a case as mine; "NO, you bugger, you DON'T get paid... But I can't fire you either!"

It is a disaster for most of us marketers that concentrate a big proportion of our marketing strategies and -campaigns on traffic-exchange to get sick. Simply because way too often you won't be able to do those clicks/day demanded to have your ads running.

I am fortunate enough to not bee that sick too often, maybe once every other year at most, but it still got me thinking of how we poor self-employed online marketers can prepare for such a disaster.

One thing, of course, is to stack up a nice pile of credits in all the different places you normally use to advertise... A thing often easier said than done.

Another way is to use a bunch of free safelists, and that is what I did this time. I was lucky enough to have a self-made list of responsible ones that I made a few weeks back while - for a totally different reason - was doing some research on them. And I had a few responses too, lucky me.

So, to help those of you that plan on getting sick in the near future I place that list here:

List Joe

AdSolution

GOT-Safelist

Safelist Extreme

Mass Impact Marketing

I sure, as well as you, do know that a small list of safelist have no chance of compensating you for not being online doing the work yourself. As a marketer we NEED to be there - the personal contact is so important, but if it can prevent us from doing a bankruptcy it is good.

If you have any other ways on your mind, please feel more than free to share them!

Fast Viral Traffic with Traffic Sword

2010-12-01T20:34:00.000-08:00

Getting "Viral Traffic" is something we all want. Viral traffic is one of the easiest ways to basically set and forget campaigns for your link. A couple of weeks ago I showed you the "Free Cool Traffic" program, and today I have another one. This one seem to be, if possible, even better!

It is called "Traffic Sword", and it basically work like one of those chain letters that used to be too popular some decades back.

The good part with this one is the fact that you set it up in no-time - for me it took a little more than a minute, because I had to cloak my link... Always should have those ready, yes I know. And you get good statistics on how many clicks your link have had, banners in different sizes if you want to promote your affiliate link...

When you have set your site up, it basically runs by itself. Naturally, if you promote the site you get more traffic faster, that is how all of these Viral marketing sites work, but I had 87 hits to my link before I'd done anything else than answered the verification link!

And, of course, this one is absolutely free too!

My link is ranked #1 on TrafficSword.com! Get yours there too!

PayPal reports to IRS

2010-11-29T21:18:00.000-08:00

As most of us law-obeying citizens I know and even understand the need and the reasons for us to pay taxes.

However, every time I have to pay them I feel sick. Don't you?

So when I stumbled over a splash-page (the picture below - who made it, I unfortunately do not know) that told me that IRS will be getting information directly from PayPal I felt a cold chill going down my spine. And for the first time in a long time feel really lucky.

Why? Oh, for once I am not pissed anymore because PayPal froze my account - with all the money in it - they can keep them. And I am SO happy that I for over a year now have been one in the happy family of AlertPay!

And I have never had any reason to complain about the service!

So, why don't you do the same, sign up for AlertPay NOW!

Socializing in Traffic Exchanges

2010-11-29T05:13:00.000-08:00

A funny thing just happened. I was bored to death and getting a bit frustrated about the fact that there suddenly seem to be absolutely nothing to write about. So I decided to do what I always do when that happens: Log in to some of the surf-sites where they have a chat.

Today I logged in to Hit Lion, StartXChange and I Love Hits. "Hit Lion" was no fun, not for the mood I was in now. In "I Love Hits" they mostly said Goodnight and Hello, that time of the morning for the users in there. In "StartXchange" they had just talked about Finland, the wonderful country where I live!

Jiihhaa, saved by the bell!

The boredom was gone, and so were the thoughts of writing suicidal notes as the last thing ever to be written by me!

So, there you have it; The Traffic Exchanges will help you, not only to riches, but also to get on with your simple daily tasks! Social Marketing at its best.

Thank You, StartXchange and Tim Linden!

Oh, and thank YOU, all the guys that do the surfing and chatting!

The Power of Habits

2010-11-26T20:00:00.000-08:00

The disasterous amount of damage done to your business when you create the wrong habits is something many of us tend to overlook. Until it is too late; One day we simply wake up, and there they are.

For a couple of months now, the first thing I did every morning when I woke up was to make me some coffee, and while I waited for that I turned on my laptop, opened my main email account to see if there were any important messages, then a second tab with the morning news, put the radio on for the local news, a third tab with whatever program I work at the moment, drank my coffee while I glanced at the news, answered my mails... And then got to work. Wrote a few short comments on future articles, planned the clicks I was going to do during the day, wrote some stuff to my autoresponders and so on.

Sound familiar? Yes, and it is the way most of us do things. And it is a pretty good way of doing things.

Then I, one day a few weeks back my internet went down. I had a temporary line installed, a much slower one. That led to me having the time to drink my coffee before I even had the connection up and going in the mornings. And it was so slow, that when I finally, after three huge cups of coffee, had it up and going I could only have one tab open at time. So, when I'd read my mail, I read the news, opened another email of mine, and then a third. Having checked all of those, I already needed a break. So everything got late; No articles, all the ideas I woke up with had to be put first on paper, then written into some kind of offline editor and then moved online. Everything that was not immediately needed for my main programs had
to be cut off. All those little things, the "Extras", that I had put a few minutes on every morning were gone.

Well, my internet connection came back. But there I was, still opening one tab at a time, sipping my coffee, staring blank. I had developed a bad habit.

Now, when I'm trying to get back on track, my work feel like work. And you all know the danger of that, don't you? Work is supposed to be fun, or... You quit!

Yes, well. I am NOT going to quit, but as a simple word of advice: Look over your habits. In time!

Oh my, I am getting older!

2010-11-22T02:21:00.000-08:00

Yes. I am.

The maybe not so fun fact, oddly enough in some strange way the fact somewhat comfort me; So are you!

Yesterday one of my other blogs celebrated its 2 years birthday. If a blog can do that. Anyways, when I had a small checkup on the things I wrote two years ago I could not believe my eyes. What the heck? Did I really try to convince people that this crap was for real?!

Things change, people change and approaches to both of those change too. And I bet that, if I live long enough, I will have a blast when I read this in 10 or 20 years.

However, there is one thing that don't change. And haven't done so in the last 4000 years or so; The need of us to earn money. There's a multitude of "reports", "free e-books" and guides out there that all try to show you how to get rich in - if not in days or hours (scams) - a few weeks. Most of them are CRAP!

Well, I guess you knew that.

One thing I found, when reading through my old stuff, that I have to admit I'd completely forgotten totally was a program called "Take The Internet Back", or T.I.B. Mostly for fun I logged in to check it out and to my amazement it looks great! Huge amount of totally free e-books and applications downloadable for the benefit of your business. Many of them you can re-brand the way you want and shuffle them ahead as viral marketing products!

I know where I will spend a lot of hours the next few days; TIB!

CopyCats

2010-11-19T10:17:00.000-08:00

I was cleaning up some old files on a laptop I really haven't used in over a year. Why? Oh, the reason why I was cleaning it up is the simple fact that I was bored, the reason why I haven't used it is even more simple; While having a conversation, chat, online with one of my downliners I got so upset that the beer... uh... Coke I was drinking fell over the keyboard. Needless to say my laptop did not like that.

Uff, I see my mind wandered off again. So, anyways, there I was cleaning old files when I stumbled over a text document with no name. For you to understand how unusual that is, I have to tell you that a thing like that have only happened once before in my life; when my then 16 year old son was "borrowing" my computer.

Back to the textfile. I discovered a very well written article about affiliate marketing. The thing is, I did NOT recognize the darn thing as mine. I know that, at the time, I wrote a lot - and I mean a multitude - of articles about affiliate marketing, but this one I didn't recall. The words and phrasing looked like mine, but...

So I did the most common thing available for uncertain people around these days; I Googled a part of it.

I copy-pasted the following:

3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.

Google found 231.000 hits.

I went through the first couple of pages that Google found, all the articles where identical TO THE WORD. I had to sit down, thinking for myself: "Oh my god, what if I have written this! I should get the Noble Prize!".

Well, I still don't know where the original article came from - and I still hope that it may be mine - but here is the point of this story:

CopyCatting is one heck of an excellent way of getting quality material for your blogs, websites and newsletters. But how much quality is there left when 200.000+ people use the same stuff?
At least, copycatters, change a few words here and there!

Beggars and begging letters

2010-11-19T01:27:00.000-08:00

Every now and then there is some kind of begging letters going around. Especially out there on the traffic exchanges. Mostly there is some kind of a "cause" behind the story, someone with a brain tumor, someones loved one dying in despair, the need of a new wheelchair... well through the years we've seen the lot.

On EasyHits4U there was a new variant: "Please, I need cash to start my online business".

Basically this guy was without internet, without computer and had no money. I don't remember if he was homeless or not, but the ad - he claimed - was written from the local library.

Oh yes. There are actually people like this. I have been one of them, being without internet, no laptop and no money. And I was then thinking of throwing a similar kind of stunt. Oh boy am I happy now that I did not!

The strange thing is; These guys actually get some money to their accounts this way! So, please go ahead and donate. I am out of beer!

Enter Donation Amount (AlertPay):

I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.

Surfaholic

2010-11-16T07:39:00.000-08:00

A funny thing, I haven't done any serious surfing at all on a traffic exchange for almost a year.

Anywhere.

I stopped clicking last fall when... Yes, I was basically surfing 16 to 18 hours per day, mostly over at TrafficEra. The team-chat was addictive and our team was more often in the top three of teams than not. Finally It went to the point where I had to decide between my wife and my mouse. Wasn't really that difficult, I say now many months later, but I remember the nights when I woke soaking in sweat and thinking about all the clocks I'd been missing. Yeah, well, you have had to be there to understand.

But basically, with a little help from my friends and family, I got free. And stayed clean for many months.

Then I suddenly had a mail from Easy Hits 4 You. And for some reason I opened it.

Now I'm doing 1000+ clicks per day at Easy Hits 4 You, just to get the $0.30 that every member get for surfing 1000.

I most definitely am a surfaholic.

But I know I can quit when ever I want to. I promise, honey!

Working from home - For REAL

2010-11-14T02:01:00.000-08:00

Oh, yes. There is a thing or two to say about the "Work at home" business. After all, that is what many of us do for a living. But NO, I am NOT, as you for certainty now are thinking, going to promote any obscure scam or go nuts about how to promote your business using some social media here. Not this time.

No, I am going to tell you how I feel sick when I see all those happy people - you know the pictures, you see them everywhere - sitti

ng there smiling behind a clean desk, perhaps waving at the camera, telling you some lies about how they only work four hours per week and make a fortune doing absolutely nothing.

UGH! My blood pressure rises to never seen heights when I just think of it.

Now. I am not saying that every single one of those pictures, and/or the people on them are fake, and some of them might just be tidy, but really; You d

on't have to be a mathematician to figure out the odds of all of those millions of people becoming not working millionaires simply on a PTC-program...

To show you all how it really may look like in the facilities of a serious online marketer I hereby, completely without shame, show you my working space. At home:

Robert Louis Stevenson

2010-11-12T22:23:00.002-08:00

Today we, all lovers of Treasure Island, celebrate the Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and travel writer R. L. Stevenson and the fact he was born 160 years ago today. Birthday party! His best-known books include Treasure Island - One we all know -, Kidnapped, and another classic; the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

I tried to find some TE, traffic exchange, that in any way possible remind me of either Stevenson or Treasure Island, but the few there was looked so puny so I decided to skip that tought. Instead I choosed to do something I haven´t done in a long while; Try a new Safelist!

I found one suitable for today called AdPirate Safelist that I will try to setup. Let's see what happens...

Hmmm.... Total members 1372. + 1 now. Fill in the usual details... List e-mail, contact e-mail, name password... Affiliate payout AlertPay... Membership free Ready to go!

Oh! The validation link went to my trash bin... Validate... God! I really do hate these "This is the last time you'll see this offer..." Unusual amount of these here. WAY too many.

The left bar with option seem to contain lots of things. And I am really saying LOTS here. I count to 53 (!) buttons, but I settle for the credit mailer - 10 000 credits, free member allowed to send to 370. New tracking-link from Linktrack, the famous copy-paste, and off we go!

Smart Subscriber

2010-11-11T10:59:00.000-08:00

So how many times have you seen someone offer you a free trial of something or other, but to get started you need to provide a credit card number, or use your AlertPay account to sign up?

Yes, yes. So here is another one. Perhaps worth a shot... At least it's free for 90 days. I will try it, it is called Smart Subscriber, and here is the story:

What these scammer guys are really doing is getting your credit card number or AlertPay account locked into their auto re-billing feature and hiding behind their real motive simply by telling you that it is for your convenience.

It is a well known fact that many people who offer products or services are making more money due simply to people forgetting to cancel these auto re-bills.

Now I'm not in any way speaking for all marketers. Many do in fact provide great value and are trying to make things easier, but it is also an overly abused marketing tactic to make the product or service owner a lot of extra recurring income.

You see a lot of unethical marketers know that most of the time you will forget about the trial and a few months later you will finally notice that you have been charged XX dollars every month. Guess who makes a pile of money that way. That's not the ethical way to do things in my opinion.

On a total flip side, here's an example of a guy who has an insanely good free trial offer, but you don't have to give your credit card or AlertPay account up front. It's just a free trial, because he believe it works and is not hiding behind anything!

Smart Subscriber

It's a no obligations 90 Day Free Trial of what's called the Smart Subscriber marketing system. His name is Ian Herculson and he's been an online marketer for over a decade and claims he will make you money through affiliate commissions just to prove his service is worth paying for!

With no credit cards or AlertPay account stuff upfront, I'd say that's a pretty rock solid and safe free trial.

Risk free, so to speak.

AdKreator

2010-11-09T00:41:00.000-08:00

Sleepless, bored, and having nothing else to do besides finding new ways of doing things, I once again stumbled over a pretty good and fun site; AdKreator.

As most of us know, a splashpage or squeezepage is of great importance these days if you use those TE's for your advertising. And a good looking page is not always easy to do. Well, that used to be true, now that AdKreator is around it's all suddenly a game. And a fun game, that is.

Took me five minutes to do this one: Example , and I actually had fun doing it! Oh, and it is totally free. Imagine that!

Weekend off

2010-11-07T03:21:00.001-08:00

One of the benefits with the "work at home"-concept is the ability of taking a day off whenever you want. Or a weekend.

After all, that is one of the main reasons why we become online marketers in the first place. Now, when I have done this for five years more or less, I finally have the financial freedom to do so.

It took time and errors, and most of the errors could have been avoided. Naturally, but I have always had a "mind of my own", as they say - my wife hates it, but we are still married ;) - and tried to find new and easier solutions for the things thousands and thousands before me already tried and found to be good.

Those two pictures I've placed here I took yesterday, when out sailing with my old dad, and I think they illustrate the true meaning of "freedom". Oh man, I am so lucky!

By the way, this free weekend was paid for with the bonuses I got from AlertPay. Did you know you get paid for signing up new members there?

ZOUNDS of free visitors

2010-11-03T22:54:00.000-07:00

I accidentally, when wasting time doing absolutely nothing, stumbled over this:

"250.000.000 visitors to your site!

When you signup, you are presented 10 websites for a period of 30 seconds each.

Some might say: "is too long..."

Wrong ! We want to send you real interested traffic, traffic that converts to sales, so, what you do is what you get! Be honest to the people who owns these 10 websites and your visitors will be honest with you. That means, take your time to sneak around each site. Serioulsly read what the site is all about, buy a product...

Once you will be completed with this step, we will give you a unique URL. A real .html page that we will index in 1,000s of search engines and directories.

Send people to your page (without spam of course). They will help you build your traffic. You can login to check your stats or change your URL as necessary. The results are guaranteed! Just try now, it's free!"

Well, it did not take long to sign up, and now I'm only waiting for some results! And I have to say, that if I get even 1 % of that traffic for my 300 sec. use of time it will be worth it.

If anyone of you are interested, here is the link: Free Cool Traffic!

If you happen to get results, of ANY kind, please leave a comment!

Massive Surfing

2010-11-02T10:07:00.000-07:00

Since I'm "Back in the saddle again", so to speak, I decided to do something that I haven't done for a long, long time; Massive surfing. That is, surfing multiple trafficexchanges simultaneously.

It can be hard on your clickin'finger and a killer for your mouse, but you do get a good grip on what is being promoted out there.

So I dug up some old passwords on StartXchange, Hit2Hit, Hit Lion, TopTierTraffic, WebBizInsider and a few more. Guess what I found?

Absolutely nothing had changed in the six months I've been away!

Well, not much anyways. Sure, I saw a few - yes, only a few - new sites that I haven't seen before, but mainly it was just the same old stuff.

So, any conclusions?

Are those old referral pages simply that good, or is here an opportunity for us to bring in some new stuff?

Well, to be honest, I'm going to try both!

Hangover...

2010-10-31T09:21:00.000-07:00

Well, as many of you know, I've been away for a few months. Doing things a man have to do, as they say in those Dickens-novels from long way back in ancient past...

Whatever.

I have a headache. Too much beer and Jaegermeister yesterday. Many of you know what I'm trying to say.

The one and only reason I gather myself so much together that I can write a few sentences here is YOU people, and the fact that I won a bet because of you all.

My buddy, the one who helped me get drunk yesterday, had a laugh on my behalf; He said that there is NO such thing as easy money on the net. Well, I agreed, but drunk as I was I - after a small dispute - promised him I'll get a few hundred bux on my account in 24 hours.

Sure enough, I dug up all my contacts, sent out a lot of letters, sold a bunch of goodies (gave more of them as bribes), and - voilá, as the frenchmen say - I did it.

457,50 in 24 hours.

And no, I'm not going to tell you how. But here's a hint:

If any of you still argue about the value of building a list of people you know; forget it. There is NO way you can make money, serious money that is, online without a personal list of people to use.

One way to get a list like that is to join a social business network like APSense.

See You There!

Now back to bed...

Clicking for Cash.. A PTC with SchnaapKlicks!

2010-10-29T02:53:00.000-07:00

Well, for once in my lifetime I joined a PTC for one of the reasons NOT to join one: The name. Well, I did do some research first, of course, and I found out that this program seem legitime enough. They have a low payout to both AlertPay and PayPal, free members can ask for a withdrawal when having 4 $ in the account, and none of the clicks are below 1 cent.

Another new, at least for me, thing they offer is the fact they offer you the opportunity to buy or rent new referrals. Kind of fun, if you like me sometimes have problems getting people to sign up for new programs!

Go ahead, try it for free HERE, you can always upgrade later.

Schnaap!

Blogging For Money

2009-05-04T02:58:00.000-07:00

Blogging has become a very common word in the web parlance of the modern world. But the question is that, is blogging helpful for your online business.

The obvious answer is a big yes. Without blogging, you will be like a lame man waiting to cross a busy road in the world of e-business. Blogging is indeed helpful for your online business, as it immensely helps in the Search Engine Optimization.

Good blog content can help you to grab the attention of the viewers and this can help you turn them into your customers. Google spiders are also in search of good and original web content which can help you to boost the page rank on search engines. Therefore good blog content is very important as it can increase the popularity of the site and help you to avail significant web traffic.

If You Want To Bring Traffic To Your Website, You Need Content! Everyone should know this by now. But if you use the same, tired, duplicate content that is already being used by hundreds of websites, your efforts will be a waste of time. No matter how well written the content may be, if many sites use the same articles with few or no changes, the value of the content will be diluted for all. Obviously, you need unique content.

One place of getting that kind of articles is found HERE. Go ahead, have a look. It will be worth it!

Pirate Bay hit with legal action

2009-04-17T07:02:00.000-07:00

The four men who run one of the most popular file-sharing sites in the world have been charged with conspiracy to break copyright law in Sweden.

The Pirate Bay's servers do not store copyrighted material but offer links to the download location of films, TV programmes, albums and software.

There is a pressconference held by Pirate Bay found HERE!

Prosecutor Hakan Roswall said the website was commercially exploiting copyright-protected work because it was financed through advertising revenues.

2 hours ago the verdict in the case of The Pirate Bay Four was announced. All four defendants were accused of ‘assisting in making copyright content available’. Peter Sunde: Guilty. Fredrik Neij: Guilty. Gottfrid Svartholm: Guilty. Carl Lundström: Guilty. The four receive 1 year in jail each and fines totaling $3,620,000.

Earning Traffic and Cash Surfing

2009-04-15T00:20:00.000-07:00

Do you have a raging torrent of targeted traffic flooding your site, or are your visitors trickling in?

If you were fishing for Barracuda you wouldn’t go to the Arctic, would you? And you wouldn’t try to find many Killer Whales on the Equator either, would you?

So, if you’re marketing your site to other Marketers and Opportunity Seekers where do you think you should advertise?

Where is the place you’re likely to get best response?

Yep, you’re right! You’d go wherever other marketers are advertising and viewing websites. Wouldn’t you?

So, I’ve found this new site that delivers a torrent of targeted traffic for online marketers. It’s called Traffic-Splash and they also provide promotional tools to help you build your business.

You can join for free and this gives you the ability to generate up to 250 hits an hour to your sites or you can upgrade and generate up to 750 hits an hour.

They have a special half-price offer for now, where you can upgrade at half-price ($4.98 a month), earning 50% on all your referrals and any random referrals that the owners generate for you too.

The traffic is all well targeted, I’ve not found any cold barracuda yet, so I’m very pleased with the results so far!

I think you’ll be pleased too. Check it out.

Now, you can either upgrade straight away at half price, earning 50% on all your referrals and any random referrals that Paul generates for you, or you can join for free.

Getting followers in Twitter

2009-03-17T21:41:00.000-07:00

Twitter is supposed to be the next BIG thing out there, and I see no reason to argue with that statement. The potential of it is HUGE, and the program is only in its beginning.

What if you could press just one button & automatically start getting 1000's of legitimate new twitter followers on autopilot... Even if nobody knows who you are now?

The concept is simple, when you retweet the message in the form, you will automatically start following the 6 people in front of you in the system.

A message posted on your twitter will automatically be formated with your unique link. Meaning that when people follow through to this site, they will have to follow you in position 1 to use the system themselves.

Now when those people refer others via their link, their new followers will also follow you in position 2 and so on down 5 levels deep. By the time you reach the 5th position, you will have thousands, if not tens of thousands of new twitter followers... and it NEVER stops growing!

Go ahead, get those followers! TweeterGetter.

Blogging about Bingo

2009-03-15T05:40:00.000-07:00

I discovered something new about myself. I like Bingo.

Every time someone used to start a discussion that involved the word "Bingo", I used to get a vision of old ladies sitting in a damp room with a fanatic light shining from their eyes.

Not anymore. I tried Bingo, and now I am hooked.

For those in the Bingo novices amongst us, bingo is a number game which basically involves striking numbers from a card that are randomly drawn and called out to the players.

When all the numbers are called from the players card, the bingo game is won. The traditional 90 number bingo game has a card that has 3 rows and 9 columns. Five squares in each row contain numbers from 1 to 90 and the others are blank. Generally the game consists of 3 attempts; the single line, two lines and the full house where all the numbers are called on the card. The lines play across the board not down the board and the player wins the prize for the line that they match numbers with.

Playing Bingo online is fast becoming the preferred way in which to enjoy the great game of Bingo; and with online Bingo sites popping up all over the internet, you may be a little fearful when it comes to playing safe online. Staying safe when playing Bingo online is easy, there's nothing to be scared of if you keep the following information in mind.

Mr Bingo offers honest and unbiased bingo reviews of all the major online Bingo sites; and furthermore the site encourage their visitors and members to discuss experiences with their favorite (or least favorite!) online bingo sites in the Bingo forum. They also keep you up-to-date with Bingo news.

At Mr Bingo they keep up to date on all the latest online Bingo news, developments, news, offers and winners. There are so many great bingo games to choose from online that you easily will get lost - Mr Bingo will keep you informed of all the developments from the bingo houses, so you don't have to miss out on any special offers, prizes and important bingo news!

Come on, do yourself a huge favour, have a look at Mr Bingo!

Who wants to be an Affiliatenaire?!

2009-03-10T13:00:00.000-07:00

Or: How to make money with other peoples products.

There must be a reason why some affiliates succeed and some fail, a reason why some affiliates profit moderately and some affiliates profit substantially.

Successful affiliate marketers are bringing in six figure incomes, just be promoting other people's products. There is a reason for this. Marketers become successful because they can easily find hundreds of hot selling products and start promoting them quickly. In other words, they can scale up their Internet businesses at an amazing speed, just by selling other people's products. There is no need to develop their own products, which can be very time consuming. How long do you think it will take you to develop 100 products?

So if you desire to really become the super affiliate marketer you have to follow certain time tested principles. First among these principles is finding a unique niche. Most of the budding affiliates make the mistake of trying everything instead of focusing on the particular finer aspects of marketing. It is therefore necessary that you focus on one instead of multiple items.

The other important aspect that an affiliate marketer needs to take proper care is the search engine marketing.

If you qualify, you will be asked to take a longer online survey in exchange for some sort of compensation.

Easy Web Video

2009-02-05T05:44:00.000-08:00

Are you frustrated by the time and trouble it takes to get video on your website? Do you want to add stunning, professional-looking videos with cutting-edge effects (like hyperlinks within the videos)? If so, then I have some good news for you...

Thanks to advances in web video technology you can now put any video on any website in just a few minutes. All you need is this new V2F software (which stands for "Video To Flash").

V2F transforms huge video files (.avi, .mpg, .wmv, etc.) into small, Internet-ready "flash" videos so quickly and so easily that ANYONE can do it in just minutes.

Here are just a few ideas of what you can do with V2F:

- Email friends and family a video of your holidays, with just a few clicks.
- Email Grandma and Grandpa a video of the kids playing soccer, baseball, or their school concerts.
- Add video to your eBay auctions and see an instant increase in high paying bids.
- Make your salesletter, website or blog come ALIVE.

When I first came across the V2F package and I’m sure like many customers I was sceptical of the claims of simplicity and great functionality because lets face it, in most cases you either get simplicity (meaning it has no features) or great functionality (meaning you need to be a rocket scientist to operate it). To my huge astonishment THIS WORKED!

This product is one that I truely recommend, see more testiomonials and get the product HERE.

New AOL Webmail Connects Gmail, Yahoo Mail

2009-01-22T09:23:00.000-08:00

AOL's newly formed Products and Technologies Group made its first product announcement on Thursday, an update of AOL Mail that allows users to access Gmail and Yahoo Mail accounts.

In addition to the plugins for external mail accounts, the second largest free email service (counts 48 million users) has also been updated for faster performance, over 45 new customization themes, and calendar and address syncing with mobile devices including BlackBerry and the Apple iPhone.

Some of the plugins are interesting and useful – the Flickr plugin, for example, lets you browse Flickr tags from within your inbox, while the “Sticky Notes” plugin lets you quickly jot things down. However, many of the plugins – like MapQuest - simply provide basic information and then open up a new window with a website – basically, they’re just bookmark links. AOL Mail’s plugin gallery lets you browse the dozens of different apps you can add to your account, which are then accessible via a sidebar.

The new Products and Technologies group is part of the company's move to an ad-based profit model, and includes Mail, Mapquest, AOL Search, Truveo video search, and AOL Mobile, as well as the back-end infrastructure teams.

Making Money with Nostradamus

2008-12-29T23:31:00.000-08:00

Making money with the famous predictions by Nostradamus? Are you joking, Ben?

No. I have found that at this time of the year, from Christmas to a couple of weeks after New Year, google search explode with searches from all over the world on the terms; Nostradamus, Predictions, 2012, End of the World, ancient maya.... You name it.

So how do you make money about that?

Well, it is as easy as ine two three. One - Start a blog. Two - choose a subject. Three - Blog!

Let me show you one example:

Related search terms on Nostradamus are: nostradamus, nostradamus 2012 prediction, nostradamus predictions, nostradamus 2012 history channel, nostradamus end of the world

Then you go and write a short article, like:

NOSTRADAMUS: THE END OF THE WORLD 2012 PROPHECY

The old Mayans already new that the end of the world is coming on December 21st, 2012.

Years ago that was in the far distant future. Now its right around the corner. What is it with that date that so many ancients prophesied that the world would end then? Read about the Nostradamus predictions and others.

Its hard to understand how there can be new predictions coming from a man who has been dead almost 500 years. However, it seems that new writings have been found. They obviously aren’t ‘new’, but they have previously been hidden. The revelations that the most famous medieval prophet wrote were controversial and considered blasphemous in his time. A previously unknown book of Nostradamus’ prophesies has been found in the National Library and it contains his end of the world prophesy...

And so on. You see? Filling the context with all those searchwords soo needed is easy. Then fill in with links to places where you get commission, like ClickBank and others, and.... Done.

As I said, easy as one - two - three!

Virus Warning! The Koobface is Back!

2008-12-05T07:22:00.000-08:00

Facebook virus Koobface has gained a foothold into many accounts of the social network's users.

First spotted in August, the program sends emails to a user's friends and asks them to check out a funny video on a site, using a stupod subject line like "You look so amazing funny on our new video." or "You got filmed all naked".

The site looks like YouTube, but asks you to download an update to the Flash Player to watch the video. This download contains the virus.

Some victims report the bug has taken control of their browser, redirecting Google search links to other pages.

Facebook is resetting passwords on infected accounts, removing malicious messages and working with third parties to remove redirects to malicious content elsewhere on the web, the statement said.

If you get infected, or just in case, you might want to have a look at some of these:

Macrovirus On-call
PappaPC

Remember, there is one NEW virus developed and released EVERY SECOND!

Combining Your Efforts

2008-12-04T03:25:00.000-08:00

One of the most powerful ways to bring people to attention of your product again and again is to have them sign up for your opt-in email list. Once someone has signed up you can send them tips, articles and special offers.

Or, if you are into MLM (Multi Level Marketing), one of the keys to having success is to build a huge downline. Another place that downline building is crucial, is with traffic exchanges. Most traffic exchanges give you credit every time one of your downline surfs.

This tool combine them both. You get your personal leads WITH the signupdate, location and IP-number for your own use. AND, you get a few downlines in some pretty good TE's going at the same time.

HAVE A LOOK!

This is how the Big Hitters do it!

How I Promote Reality-Networkers

2008-11-25T02:57:00.000-08:00

How I Promote Reality-Networkers

- Usable in any promoting

No matter what you are promoting, there are a few basic things to remember, and these basic rules are even more important when you are working as an Online Marketer;

- Be consistent. Successful marketers do some kind of promoting to move themselves forward everyday. It does not take much, but it is the only difference between success and failure. A good practice is to create a "what-to-do" list for the next morning, before you go to bed. That way you have a restful night and wake up refreshed in the morning with an agenda of things to accomplish.

- Learn how to write. The skill that will make or break you in internet marketing is copywriting. The most important thing to learn is Headline writing. Headlines are the eye-catchers of everything you do, no matter if it is e-mail marketing, splash-pages or web sites.

- Diversify. Spread your effort as much as possible over different sources. This is very important. If you do traffic exchanges, do not just do te's. If you are into safelist, do not just do safelists... and so on. You get the drift?

- Set a budget. Well, everything I will tell you in here is free. But we all know the fact that money makes money, right? Be careful what you spend your money on. Think twice, but when you have made up your mind, do not hesitate. Go for it for full, and remember to track your efforts.

Well, that briefly covers the basics, now lets look into how to market and what tools to market with. In this short article I am covering Reality-Networker, and since R-N is not really a program (it is a club, check-out the home-page) it has different kind of aspect than the normal affiliate programs we see out there.

I believe I have used every single way of promoting R-N found out there. With very different results. Again; remember to use a link-tracker, so you know what works and what does not. There is one to use for free on your Reality-Networkers pages.

Here we go (finally):

Traffic-Exchanges.

The problem with most TE's is that people tend to get numb seeing all of these affiliate pages time after time. That is why you should try to make a simple splashpage, to break the monotony and catch someone's attention is the best solution. Here is a great example of this: http://www.tetoolbox.com/splash/5425/

To join TE-tools go here: http://www.tetoolbox.com/features.php?referer=loblanc

For a Traffic Exchange to be good, it should have a lot of active members, huge amounts of sites and preferably a 10-15 sec timer. My reason for liking the timer to be that high is simple; pages load completely, more people see your message. Also, if they add a good downline-builder, then I am happy.

Here is a brief list of the ones I like to use, and do so with pretty good results. Notice that they are not the same ones that constantly get voted "Best TE's"?

TrafficEra - Many people despise Tera, claiming nobody ever signs up there. Not true, the social marketing part is extremely powerful in there.

TrafficSwarm - TrafficSwarm is one of the most responsive TE's I have ever encountered. I have signed up numerous members to very different kinds of programs from there. The thing that makes TrafficSwarm so different is the combination of headlines and pages, a bit like e-mail marketing in a traffic exchange. Go there, read the headlines before you click them. You will learn a lot.

HitSafari - One of the best downline builders around, nice graphics and easy to use. Good surfing bonuses.

Traffic-Splash - Absolutely astounding surf rewards! Really nice downline builder too. Catches both leads and signups! Not very good for merchandise sales, though.

Hit2Hit - Same as above, with an even bigger downline builder.

When, and if you use TE's, be sure to ALWAYS fill in the details on the downline builder. Your signups there are your future customers and downlines in other programs! Do not forget the Banner- and Textlinks when available!

There are numerous amounts of e-books on TE-Marketing out there, free ones You can access at The Librarian

Safelists, Opt-in lists and e-mail marketing.

Well, these are all basically the same. With a small but important difference between them all. Safelist are something you sign up for, get to send mail, and recieve them instead. Opt-in is something you sign up for and recieve without giving and e-mail marketing is pretty much dangerous unless done correctly. NO SPAMMING ALLOWED.

The common thing with all of these is one of the important things I mentioned at the beginning; Headline Writing. A headline is there to catch your attention, not to inform you of the rest of the letter. Like the difference between:

"Reality-Network have a lot of sign-ups" and

"Boy, Does THIS Have A Lot Of Sign-Ups!!!"

Be careful with the exclamation marks, they usually end up in the spam-folder. But I guess You see where I am going here? This subject has been discussed SO many times already, but hereï¿½s a few more examples of what I use to get people reading:

"The Secret Revealed!"

"WHY is Ben a Happy Marketer?"

"Could You Be The One?"

"Get UP from that sofa!!"

And so on. One that I have used quite a lot is "Want To Get These Leads?". You see, words that make people curious really MAKE them curious. Look at yourself, how you behave, what you think when you see a headline, and how you react to it...

There are a lot more examples at your R-N page.

Words like "matrix", "XXX", "Safelist", "Free" close to always and end up in the spam-folder. No need to say that everything illegal should be avoided. Badly written headlines end up in spam-folder in worst case, in best case they simply get ignored.

A couple of safelists worth trying, besides the one in Reality-Networkers, are:

GOT-Safelist - This is the one and only safelist I know of where people get paid in real cash to read your letters. 29.983 members.

Safelister - 23.266 members. A bit slow in the sending of the mail, but as I write this I had a sign-up from there!

There are, of course, hundreds more of them too. Type "safelists" in a searchengine, and try them out until you find the ones that suit you. There are also paid versions of them, but strangely enough, I have not really noticed any bigger percentage of sign-ups or sales from them...

Social Network Marketing

This area has got to be the best one for me now. Approximately 60% of my sales, signups and new leads come from that area. The only thing you need to know when you begin socializing, is how to behave. No need for good language skills. No need to have a formal vocabulary, or to be an experienced salesman (as a matter of fact, people tend to think they are suspicious). You simply need to know enough about the product you currently promote, tell some new friends about it, and; badabing! - a new sale. Or whatever you desired.

That is why I placed TrafficEra so high on my list of trafficexchanges. People WANT to hear about what you are promoting. Funny, considering we all do the same thing.

Here is the best ones, in my opinion, at the moment:

Apsense - Apsense is a free business social network where people come together to exchange thoughts and experiences. Oh, you get paid for writing articles. When they are read.

Hi5 - This one is more like MySpace. With the scrap-books and photo albums and everything. The good thing with these kind of communities is that you can bring in completely new people to your business, those who have not seen it all before.

To these above mentioned methods I must add a few very important ways of getting seen; Classified Ads, Mouth to Mouth and Offline Marketing and different variations of everything mentioned above.

However, I have already exceeded the space given me by miles, so I will have to continue at another time.

Remember to diversify!

Thank You!

Proper Thank You Pages

2008-11-17T12:05:00.000-08:00

Oh my, they had me thinkin' again...

Last Saturday I attended a free seminar arranged by Affiliate Funnel. The topic was: Open house with Jon and Paul. Jon being Jon Olson, known from I Love Hits and SWAT Traffic. And Paul is of course Paul Kinder, known for his Traffic-Splash. So you understand that the main team was to be traffic exchanges. And some really good information we got ourselves too, learned a few new things that evening.

Afterwards there was an opportunity to ask questions, and one that always comes up, came up. "How do I make money from my list?". Yes, well. That question is one that I bet is asked hundreds of times every day on various places, so I let that one be. However, that question led to a followup question, and the same thing happened with the answers as they usually do, and suddenly the talk was about "Thank You" Pages.

Everyone in that seminar, I believe and hope, agreed that those thank you pages are extremely important for ANY kind of business you do online. No matter if you sell flowers, cars or simply try to build a list. BUT! That was about it! One example of what such a page can look like, and nothing more! Oh yes, those exclamation marks came to me on Sunday, as I was thinking through what I'd learned.

So half of the Sunday and the whole day today (Monday) I've surfed around the net trying to figure out WHAT they are, HOW to do those pages, and what exactly to put ON them. Believe me, it was harder than I had imagined, finding any useful information.

But here we go:

What is a Thank You Page?

A Thank You Page is a page your prospects see after they have taken some action. Bought a car, an e-book, signed up for your newsletter. Whatever your business is, when your customer press that submit button this is where he should end up.

The thank you page have a few goals. It is more than just a common way of being polite, altough that too is important. It should also provide some "Next Step", or "What To Do" information for your customer. But most important of all is; Getting your customer to verify that so important e-mail adress of his, placing him-/herself on your opt-in list.

How do I set up a good Thank You Page?

Well, basically this is easy. You have to ways of doing this;

1 - Redirect your customer to the thank you page immediately after the pressing of that submit-button, or
2 - You can send the page as an e-mail. With the verification link.

The method you use is entirely a choice of your's and I have no opinion on what methos is better. I suppose it depends on the product and your style.

So what do I put ON that page?

- You begin your message by thanking your customer, and informing them that their choice of action has been successful. Remember you can send them to a thank you page even if they don't buy!
- This is also where you can briefly remind them of their brilliant taste in choice of dishwasher or whatever you are selling.
- Hopefully you use a system that requires a double opt-in, so you'll need to remind them of this fact here.
- Another great idea is to offer them a possibility to refer a friend/family member to your site. This means more contacts for you to market to, so perhaps you could offer the referring persons a reward for their efforts.

I know this is only some vague toughts about an issue that many people get paid big bux to do for a living, but the way this page is treated seem strange to me. After all, this IS the most important page you have. If you want your customer coming back!

I hate Web Promotion.

2008-11-10T04:44:00.000-08:00

I hate Web Promotion. I hate it more than you do, and I always have.

Web promotion is all about getting links and traffic to sites. You can build one million quality sites but with no proper web promotion, you will never see money coming in.

Most web promotion tactics have one thing in common - trying to rank high in search engines results. In the old fashion days, I loved to submit my sites to hundreds of link directories. It worked like magic until the search engines changed their algorithms.

Then the next big thing was Blog and Ping. It was one of the most powerful web promotion system. I could easily get my pages indexed in a couple of hours and rank high in search engines.

But once again, the search engines saw this coming and as a result it is now very difficult to rank one's websites on search engines, based on Blog and Ping.

Article submission is one of the methods I used. However, though it is still a very effective traffic generating tactic, it is also very time consuming.

I spent thousands on SEO tools and even hired an SEO expert. I spent hours doing Search Engine Optimization on-site and off-site. I did see some traffic now and then but the figures were not something i was proud of.

I was at the mercy of the search engines and was spending more time and money than I could earn!

I was desperate for a real traffic generating solution. I needed to be able to get traffic fast! To my luck, I found the very answer to my web promotion pain.

A few PTC's

2008-10-19T23:54:00.000-07:00

Yup.

This is not usually my kind of thing, doing these PTC sites (Paid To Click). However, I understand that there's a great amount of cash moving in those, and a friend of mine asked me to put up a few links, so here we go.

SirenSongPTC and Lakota-SurfPTC

Both of these seem to me (un-experienced as I am) to be very clear and easy to inderstand. Go ahead, try them out.

If You like them, here's a few more of them:

Offline Earning

2008-10-09T21:07:00.000-07:00

Yup. I actually had a vacation.

Two weeks ago we wen't on a combined hunting/fishing trip with my father. With us we only had a few basics; Rifles, fishing gear, beer and his dog. And my laptop.
Sound like a lot of fun? Yes, it was. Until the storm.

We sat in the middle of nowwhere, with winds up to 31 m/s (that's like 69.345 025 054 mile/hour (mph). Pretty windy up here in our part of the world, actually I haven't been in a storm like that in years!
So one of the boats we had (we had three) shook itself free, hit the rocks and sank. And with it sank my laptop.

Unbelievable!

A few days later, as the weather got better, we managed to save the boat. It had a huge hole in it's side, but that is repairable. My laptop is not.

The good part, however, is; I had a lot of fun!
Oh yeah! And the thing about Offline Earning! The fact that my advertising did not suffer that much during this make me send a huge THANX to BigHitters Secrets!
Yes, I actually made a few bux, during my off-line period!

Paid To Click

2008-05-17T04:34:00.000-07:00

Paid To Click programs, or PTC's, are a way of generating some fast cash simply by reading mails or commercials. Basically the tought behind this way of advertising is very easy and not hard to understand. An advertiser pays for a commercial to be seen/read a certain amount of times, and you get a share of that payment by doing so.
Here are a few programs I found that actually pays You the money they promise:

Clix Sense - Pays by check
PaidSuperMail - Pays out after $2 to PayPal
Candace - Pays when you have $10

and a bit different, a safelist that pays you for reading the mails:

GOT-safelist - 5 bucks payout

Then there are a huge amount of TE's (trafficexchanges) that pay you actual money for reading messages and mail, here only a few:

TrafficAttitude
BestFreeTraffic
JesusTraffic4All

And many more. Remember that there is a HUGE amount of scams out there! Always beware of them!

Scam letters

2008-05-09T03:29:00.000-07:00

We have all had them, e-mail scams, and I am sure we all agree on how annoying they are. When You get 20-30 letters telling You that You have won this or inherited that per day, it easily get to the point of ignoring ALL letters from unknown senders. That is not good, not good at all, since that way You easily miss those few letters containing real opportunities.

The scamletters have improved a lot since the days of the "Nigerian letters", and now it is sometimes hard to tell if a mail is real or just another way to get You to give out Your personal details.
One way to check the autenticy of a letter is to have the provided phonenumber checked. If the number goes to a pre-paid cellphone You can be sure it is a scam. No real company uses pre-paid cellphones.
Another good way is to search on the net for the company name, sender or the header of the letter. If it is a scam, You can be sure You are not the only one getting it and there will be discussions about it on the net.

Good Luck, and hopefully You will find out that one of those letters is real and You actually WON those millions it promised. :)

Traffic Exchange Toolbox

2008-04-15T20:26:00.000-07:00

Tons of great features!

Optional Frame
Maybe you want to display our rotator frame, maybe you don't. Either way you can change your mind at any time! Our frame includes a link to open the current site in a new window, and a link to open your TEtoolbox referal url.

Domain Filtering
So you are trying to build a downline in multiple exchanges, and you throw all their referal urls into your rotator. But then you realize your StartXchange referal link can be seen on StartXchange!? Not with Domain Filtering! Domain Filtering, when enabled, will prevent pages from being shown when the refering site is the same domain. No more wasting traffic! You can enable or disable this feature at any time.

No Advertisements
TEtoolbox does not insert advertisements into rotation on you, nor does it create any popups. You can even turn off the TEtoolbox frame on the rotator.

Great Commission
While not the reason to join, commission for refering others is a great feature. What's awesome is even free members get a 10% commission, so if you don't want to upgrade you can still earn some extra cash ;-)

Google AdSense Referrals

2008-04-15T13:03:00.000-07:00

What is Google AdSense Referrals?

Referrals is a feature of AdSense that allows website publishers to increase their revenue while increasing their users' awareness of useful products and services. By adding a referral button to a site, publishers can direct users to products like AdSense, AdWords, Picasa, Google Pack and Firefox with Google Toolbar. When a referral connects a user to AdSense, AdWords Picasa, Google Pack or Firefox, Google pays the publisher. Now publishers can introduce their visitors to services that will help them monetize their websites or improve their web browsing experience, and earn more revenue.

In order to use referrals, you need to be an AdSense publisher.

Capture those Leads!

2008-04-02T19:07:00.000-07:00

One of the best ways of marketing is, and has always been, direct marketing. Before marketing went online we used to have to run around and sign up friends, family and complete strangers we met on the street.
Now when we are so called 'Online Marketers', we still have to use the same technique. Only a bit modified. If you go spamming complete strangers with e-mails, I can guarantee you that all of your efforts will result in closed accounts and maybe even lawsuits. Not good, huh?

So how do you find and approach those strangers? Simply by 'capturing leads'. You get them to sign up for this or that, could be a newsletter, a website membership or anything else you can think of. Then, when they have agreed to recieve mails from you, you are allowed to spam them... until they close you down. ;) Yep, gotta be careful there. Too much is always too much.

Here is an example of a leadcapturing splashpage:

The thing that makes that one so fantastic, at least in my opinion, is the fact that it also automatically build you a huge downline!

Trafficexchanges or TE's

2008-03-28T03:50:00.000-07:00

Like most other online marketers out there I use a lot of TE's. And many of them I do not use, simply signed up for them, surfed a few sites, and then forgot all about them. You've done that too, haven't You? ;)

So I decided I try to find out all the ones I've signed up for through the past years. Phew! Believe me when I say it was NOT an easy task I gave myself here...

Well, here they are. If anyone liked to join a new TE, please feel free to do so. All of them give You some free credits for Your efforts (sign up and surf a few).

Traffic to your pages

2008-03-20T08:00:00.000-07:00

Make money from your Website or Blog with BidVertiser

Here's a few guidelines how to generate more traffic to your sites and pages. However, remember that the most important thing is to do something every day, or as much as you can. There is no such thing when you start out as "free traffic", it always demand work.

1. Sign up for a few good traffic exchanges. These are extremely good sources of traffic AND, if You are selling something or doing affiliatemarketing, many of them are really responsive!

A few examples of good, and FREE, Traffic Exchanges:

- Traffic Era. A surfsite with chat! The most fun around at the moment. :)
- Hit2Hit. A traffic exchange with lot of competitions. Pays with good and real money.
- Traffic Attitude. A traffic exchange with both manual and autosurf.
- StartXchange. One of the most responsive TE's around. Excellent forum.

If You surf on these for an hour or a couple per day, You have hundreds of hits just like that. Worth it? Absolutely.

2. Promote your website with PTC services. Using PTC or Paid To Click is a way to get unique visitors to your website that the search engines love so much. Many of these PTC companies have thousands of members that login daily to click on paid ads. The same person can't click on your ad in a 24 hour period, so when you pay for 500, 5000, or maybe even 10,000 visitors to come to your website, you will actually get this many people.

A few examples on PTC sites:

- YourHotmails.
- ClixSense.

3. Promoting with E-mails. DO NOT SPAM RANDOM PEOPLE! That sentence is extremely important. The best way to use email promoting is to use safelists. That way you won't be accused of spamming. By joining these email companies you're agreeing to receive other peoples emails too, so make sure you have a mailbox big enough. ;) Safelistmarketing can be very useful if you're in to affiliatemarketing.

Here's a few examples on Safelist:

- GOT-Safelist. A safelist that actually pay you money to read the mails. A bit of a combinated Safelist and PTR.
- Newage Marketing.

Good Luck with Your promotions!
