How I Promote Reality-Networkers

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/

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 here�s 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!
