Sorry, if this offends some of you, the only way I would find any of them useful would be  if there main focus was in teaching you how to build your email marketing list. Having a email marketing list is the difference between making some money online and Making A Living Online. I just prefer to help and teach  people how to make a living online.

I just cant see wasting your traffic on supporting a rotator or some other division of traffic………to me this would be like a welfare system for helping those who refuse to do little to any work. Now I dont find nothing wrong with working as a team, as in sharing Ideas and marketing methods, or helping people to learn how to successfully market online. It is just like the saying  “You can give a person a fish and they will eat for a day, or you can teach a person to fish and they will eat for a lifetime” I prefer to teach people how to stand on there own two feet, that way when challenges arrive they will be able to move forward instead of quitting. Also when your main focus is on teaching somebody how to use a tool (Like Trafficwave)  versus just getting them referrals the retention rate is much, much  higher……this leads to more success. See most of the people that join these team builders tend to become complacent, because they are relying on others to do some of the work, so what do you think happens to most of these team builders after a while……they fizzle out, everyone thinks everyone else is going to do the work?

Think about it this way once,  I teach you how to build your email marketing list using trafficwave, now in the next few weeks you get 10 new subscribers to your list (your list not mine)  or you are part of one of these traffficwave team builders and in the first several weeks you get ten new referrals, in what way would you be better off????

In the first scenario:

You now own your list

You now know how trafficwave works and you know how to build your list on your own

You can now teach others to build their list

You can market any program you want to your list

Your traffic is used to build an income for you and your family, it is hard enough to build a successful business online yet split your traffic with 500 other people???

Now you will definitely stay a trafficwave member and pay for the services

You can now market trafficwave to your list and teach them how to use it and profit because You Know How

When your new referrals to travewave are taught how to build an email marketing list, they will also gladly pay for there marketing tool

Now you are making more money with trafficwave autoresponders and their affiliate program, and so are the people on your list

In scenario number two:

The focus wasnt teaching you how to build your email list first, so you dont have one (the focus was on getting referrals)

You are splitting your traffic with other people ( how many of them are like you and are surfing consistently? )

Your referrals dont know how to use the tools so they dont have a list either

No body is making any money…….so nobody is paying for their trafficwave account

So people start quitting or doing nothing

You havnt seen any action in a while so you now let it go by the way side too

I think team builders encourage program hopping, and

one of the biggest mistakes I see being made by people in internet marketing is “program hopping”. This is when someone joins a new program works it for a while and when it is not working for them they jump to another one and so on and so on.

When you hop from one program to the next you are not going to ever have success online.

Until you learn how to build your business the right way first, and there are two types of businesses online you need to build……the first one is your traffic business and the second is your money business. If you try to build them the other way around you WONT have a money business.

This is why the people who focus on spending there time building their email list first and generating traffic to there opt in pages are so successful, they have built their traffic business first. Now when a new program comes out that they want to be a part of they can send out an email to their list and get 50 referrals in one day!!

This is why this website is dedicated to helping and teaching people how to build their email marketing list, I want people to be successful…..I want people to feel what it is like to no longer have money as one of the problems in their life. It is my goal to save people as much time and money as I can by teaching the right way to build an internet business. I was not successful my first two years online, I spent my time program hopping and refused to build my email list and was always looking for an easier way………..you can learn the hard way if you want, I did. You will only learn as I did That there is not an easier or simpler way to be successful online, you must build an email marketing list.

One of my mentors Scott Douglas who I have learned a great deal from who Owns the TEP Marketing system that we all follow here is the #2 TrafficWave earner for March 2010! This is the last update to the list that I am aware of. Here is what Scott had to say about it

“TE Profits is the most powerful downline builder for Traffic Wave… a bold claim, but true.
Our attraction and retention is one of the highest because we teach people how to use
their autoresponder. You can’t market on line without one. As a result, many people have
come to believe TE Profits is a ‘Traffic Wave Downline Builder’ as though that were its
primary purpose.

If Traffic Wave is your ‘business’ and your goal is to build a large residual income on the
‘back end’ from it, you can do so with TE Profits. For me, Traffic Wave is a critical part of
my marketing. All income from Traffic Wave (even residual) is generated up front in the
marketing machine while I build my real business.
I would continue to pay the small monthly fee for my autoresponder
for as long as I am marketing online even if I never earned ONE PENNY
from TrafficWave as an affiliate!

When you accept the autoresponder as a necessary tool and use it
effectively to build your business, your partners will automatically
begin to do the same.

To YOUR wave of growth,
Scott”

Why Building Your Email Marketing List Is A Necessity And Not An Option………

I can tell you from personal experience that not building an email marketing list is downright foolish! Not only will you struggle to build any kind of real long lasting income, you will have to work ten times as hard as those who build their list first. The response I get from people who are on my list is incredible in comparison to the amount of time I use to spend just finding one sale. My first two years online I created a lousy $200 in sales. Once I started building an email marketing list……….I made more money in a month than I did in my first two years online!

Why?

1. Email marketing is the best way of delivering your message, hands down, its delivered right to your prospects. Think about this, what happens everytime there is a new product launch or affiliate program? Yes, you start getting email after email letting you know about it. Ever wonder why you get so much spam in your inbox? Because they know that email marketing works very well, they do not care if there breaking the law. Now spamming people with unwanted email is wrong, but all I am saying is there is a reason so many people still are out there doing it.

2. It takes an average of 7 times, now make sure your hearing this……it takes on average 7 times of being exposed to an offer for someone to buy or join your affiliate program. How do you give people more information if you don’t have a list? ***Raw traffic converts very poorly, that is why you post links to sales pages and affiliate programs all over the place and no body hardly ever responds! The people who sign up to be on your list want to know more about you and what you are offering them.

3.  Affiliate programs and business offers come and go like the wind online………what happens when you finally have built up a matrix in one of these affiliate programs and you worked 4 hours a day 5 days a week for an entire year just to get 50 people involved, and all of a sudden they close the doors. Some of you may remember the spider web marketing system, its gone or is it? Well its only gone for you and the other members but not the owner, you all helped him build a massive list! I guarantee you he is still sending email to all the members……..he can there all subscribed to his list…..he owns it. Now I am not bashing the owner of the spiderweb marketing system…no he was very smart and built his business the right way. Do you still want to invest your time and energy in something thats not yours? See if you build your email marketing list first and foremost you do not have to worry when the owner shuts down the affiliate program, you can join another and email your friends about it.

You made your business priority number one by building your email marketing list, so no worry, you have built a relationship with those on your list, they know and trust you and will want to know what else they can do to make money online or will want to find out about the newest marketing tools you are using to increase your profits.

4. Believe it or not people actually want to be on someones email marketing list, its easier, they dont have to go searching all over the internet to find what they are looking for. I am on many email list, I love getting new email from sources I trust and subjects I want more information on. I love learning new stuff and being the first to find out about new marketing tools. Besides most people want help in building their online business dont they? What ever niche you are in people like to be better educated, I do not always remember to see if a website has been updated or added some new information, it is a lot easier to subscribe to their list and get an email when they have something new for me.

5. You will never get wealthy online with one product or affiliate program, products get outdated, affiliate programs die off or better scripts come out, businesses fade in the wind. Have you ever heard the saying “Dont Keep All Your Eggs In One Basket, They Might All Break”,  so what is the one way you can create additional income streams online without creating a ton more work or expense? Email Marketing is the only way, you have all ready built up a list of subscribers, all you need to do now is send out an email, simple is it not?

See here is the question you should really be asking yourself:

How do I make the most amount of money,  in the least amount of time, with the least amount of effort, with the least amount of investment?

Now I am not saying building your list will happen over night or there wont be expenses to building it, but I truly know this is the best answer and the path with the least amount of wasted time and money. Because if you dont build your email marketing list you will be spinning your wheels over and over again getting very little results if any! I know, I did it my first two years online…………those two years were not good!

So I really hope I have accomplished one thing by writing this post, that either I have convinced you that you need to start building your email marketing list or for those of you who have all ready started,  I hope that I have reinforced why building your email list should always be your first priority. I truly know and can relate to those of you who are struggling to make a living online, I was once like you and nothing ever changed until I started building my list. Email marketing is your business, no body can take it away from you and it really is the only push button profit system there is.

How you go about building your email list is your choice, the easiest thing I ever did was plugged into a complete system that guided me and taught me through the entire process….step by step. Now you can find your own method, or I can help you…..I have a system in place on the right hand side of this blog, the same one I use to profit with everyday…….all you have to do is follow the steps and keep in contact with me. I will help you……..

If you dont join us I still hope you have benefited from this information in my blog

It is really quite weird to still find people that think that Safelist and Traffic Exchanges Don’t Work. So yesterday morning I had to prove to myself once again, like I do everyday that not only do they work, they work very well!

So I took my TEP Squeeze page that is provided to me by TE Profits, the owner Scott Douglas, I cant say enough good things about this man, this is the squeeze page I used.

http://teprofits.com/thumbsup.php?r=weberg69

Now for those of you that are following the steps here on this site, you have this same squeeze page in your back office of TEP. Now this is the ad and title I used below.

Title 1: Stop Emailing People Who Wont Buy From You!

Are you having trouble getting results from Listjoe? Tired of getting clicks, but not any sales?

Maybe it’s time you learn how to use Listjoe effectively. A few simple things can be the difference between results and no results.

http://teprofits.com/thumbsup.php?r=weberg69

I will share with you the best traffic exchanges and safelist and actually show you how to get results advertising in them

Every trick, technique and marketing tool that I personally use, you will have access to Free!

Your first step, click the link below fill in your information and I will send you vital information that you will need in order to get started right now

This free report will help you get the results you want from Listjoe, and other safelists/traffic exchanges!

Lets Turn Your Traffic Into Cash

http://teprofits.com/thumbsup.php?r=weberg69

Sincerely,

Richard Weberg

Important**

Now if I was sending email through a different safelist I would replace Listjoe with the name of the one I was using. One other thing you will notice is I put the link in my ad twice because it increases the number of clicks you will get. There is also another place you put your link in when sending in a safelist, that is so members can get credit for clicking on your link, but I like to ad mine twice in my ads as well.

Yesterday morning I sent my ad through Listjoe and checked my stats today for my click thru and subscribers received, I am a member of about 30 safelist I didn’t send to them all yesterday because I wanted to show you the simplicity and effectiveness by only giving the results from one.

Here are the results,  I sent my ad to 803 people in Listjoe, I had 32 clicks and 3 new subscribers to my list. Now you may be thinking well that’s not very good, I beg to differ, while three subscribers might not seem like alot,  that was from only one mailing, as a free member you can send out your ad every 7 days (365 days a year divided by 7 days =52) Now if you get 3 subscribers every time, that is 156 new subscribers to your list every year from just that one safelist, that’s doing nothing else. Through the system we use here on this site every subscriber is = to about $3 a month in income to you over time, so now you just gave yourself a $468 raise this year by just taking advantage of  just one safelist as a free member, think if you were an upgraded member of Listjoe?

Now that’s the real power of  list building. You take all these advertising streams we use here and feed your list. That list grows and so does your income.  Another reason I only showed the example of one safelist, because for some that is all they can handle, yes I can email to 30 safelist a month, plus surf 60 traffic exchanges,  but I have been doing this a while and have learned how to organize everything I do. Otherwise it can get overwhelming  when your first starting out. It is okay to start with one and learn what you are doing and move on from there.

“You have to learn to walk before you can run”

Here is another link to a  post I did on safelist and there is a link to a cool free tool that comes in very handy for any ads you are using in safelist or anywhere else.

Safelist Resources

And for those of you that are ready to run here is a link to the most responsive safelist on the internet

Until next time, your friend and partner

“Can I copy and paste your material from your blog to my blog and other social networking sites”

This is a question I thought I would post here because I have been asked this by numerous OBA And TE Profits partners.

“First off I am not successful because of this blog, its because of the steps I follow on the right hand side of this blog” Starting a blog or website guarantees nothing! Its the marketing that will make you wealthy not the business! The saying if you build it they will come, NOT TRUE!

This was my email response to the most recent request:

Hello, and glad to hear from you, Hope all is well. My blog is meant as a teaching tool and guide for people who are on my email list to learn how to successfully market their TE profits and OBA business. It is laid out in a step by step process to simplify the marketing process so anyone can learn how to build an email marketing list, the most cost effective way I know how. I have had seven years online marketing experience prior to starting my website.

If you read my blog and read the OBA forum you will see where we are getting most of the leads from for building our email list. We are using traffic exchanges and marketing in safelist. I surf over 40 traffic exchanges a day to build my email list using the TE Profits splash and squeeze pages. I do use social marketing and other means of advertising. But I spend the most time marketing in traffic exchanges and safelist. (this is where you want to spend your time) My blog is a tool to help people, and I have spent hundreds of hours in all creating my blogs and their content. My blog is meant to help you learn and give you my knowledge that I have learned in my seven years marketing online as well as direct you to the tools I have used to build my own business.

Here is a blog post and my comments showing you exactly what I have been up to

You can NOT copy my blog word for word (copy and paste, no, no!), it would destroy your credibility with other prospects. Your writings should be unique, written by you…..this way your prospects will relate to you. The only way to successfully market online is to brand Yourself. Plus some of my content is distributed to article sites and I am the registered author of this material. Search engines will penalize your content if it is just copied and will not even show it in the search results. Plus you will never be able to submit copied work to any of the article distribution sites. You must develop your own content to be successful online, if it worked to just copy word for word some body else’s work, the internet would be nothing more than the same exact website, you would do a search and the results would be all the exact same thing.

You can copy any of the facts or quotes I use, or examples of how to do something specific like setting up email filters or something like that. Even parts of text I have written, just change it with your own style of writing.  But under no circumstances should you copy and paste my blog word for word nor should you want to. Number one you would have to write about me and my experience, my blog is filled with the way I have experienced online marketing.  How can you start your own blog with all my material? You should really read my blog and follow the steps and guidance. I want you to be successful and will help you anyway I can. I was successful long before I ever created a blog, a blog will only help when its about your experience and knowledge and you have something of value to offer people. Traffic exchanges and safelist are the lifeblood to the system we are using here, and yes they take time. But anything really worth doing takes time and effort. You wont make money faster by copying me word for word, infact,  that will just slow you down because you learn nothing this way. I suggest you go to your back office of the OBA and TE profits and read the marketing material and really try to understand why this business works the way it does, and once you understand the marketing plan you will truly realize what an awesome business you have your hands on. Dont recreate the wheel, follow the steps.

Dave Gray and Scott Douglas have created undoubtedly the greatest marketing vehicle for your online success, and I am truly grateful for being able to be part of such a reliable, honest, real business. I am proud to be their partners and be able to share through my own personal experiences here on my website.

To Your Success And Happiness
Sincerely,

I have been using safelist for quite along time and have always had good results from them. I had learned early what you can and can not advertise in them to get results and sales. In order for safelist marketing to work you can not just advertise any old thing you want. I am going to list below some of the main marketing techniques you must use in order to get better results.

I know a lot of you have used safelist in the past only to get dismal results, actually getting sales from safelist you have to use a marketing approach you may or may not understand yet. Most peoples response is to advertise main product pages for there websites or affiliate programs, this I can tell you will not work! So here are some of the things that will help you increase your sales and finally get results from them.

**You need two good email addresses, one for your contact email and one for your subscribe email. I recommend using gmail for your subscribe email and then setting up email filters for all your email. Anybody who is serious about making more money online should be setting up email filters……it will save you oodles of time.

Here is a link to a post I did on email filters and how to set them up.    Setting up email filters

1. You must use safelist to build your email marketing list, email marketing is the only way to create long term wealth online. So you need an autoresponder. This is one tool that EVERY successful marketer uses. Trafficwave is the best in the business, and has the best affiliate pay. If you are not building a email list priority number one , You are a fool! You might as well forget it and quit now.

2. You either need to create a splash or squeeze page where people can sign up for more information. One that will grab their attention. Remember most people who are viewing your safelist ad are other marketers, and what are they looking for? We use the TE profits Splash and squeeze pages

3. You should track your ads to see which ones are performing better, this way you can monitor your results and tweak your ads. Vitalviral is one of the simplest to use, and has some other fantastic features!

4. You need to manage them well, so as not to miss any opportunities to send out your ads. Each safelist has a different set amount of days that you have to wait before you can send out your ad again. Viralmailprofits is a great tool for managing your safelist and keeping you organized.

5. Dont use the same headline in every ad, that you send out in one day. Some email providers will group exact messages together as one email.  However, the key to safelist advertising is having an attention grabbing, curiosity generating headline. This may have been given out before on the OBA Forum (for those of you that are all ready a member) but here is a very cool free tool that I use to check out the potential effectiveness of a safelist headline.

http://www.aminstitute.com/headline/index.htm

Here is a good example on how a slight tweak of a simple headline can
have a huge impact on your success.

Here is an example of a headline and their associated scores… after just a little change

“Three reasons you will never succeed online.” (57.14 – pretty decent)

“Three reasons you will never succeed.” (66.67 – big improvement)

“Top three reasons you will never succeed.” (71.43 – sweet!!)

The moral of the story is that a killer headline can generate a lot more traffic than a poorly written one. Using safelist for marketing can be very effective when you know what you are doing. Some of you reading this blog may have your own websites or products and may be just  looking for help full hints to improve your results. Others of you are probably more like I was, I didnt want to have to create products ,learn copy writing or mess with any technical stuff.  I just wanted to find a successful system that I could plug my self into that would teach me step by step on how to create long term wealth online. This is what this blog is dedicated to, teaching people step by step and then helping them master the skills they need to be successful online.

To Your Success And Happiness

Do not compare Real Traffic Exchange Profits System with anything else you may have seen on the internet, 95% of all online businesses are pure crap! The internet is full of money schemes and websites promising overnight riches. They show you websites with pictures of diamonds and big fancy boats and cars. This is actually a big part of the problem, every time someone sees one of these websites claiming they can make you rich with no effort, it gets inside their head that this is how people get rich online, fast easy and don’t have to work much……and this is so far from the truth. So people go on with this belief and end up jumping from business to business, quitting long before they ever get really started.  A lot of these websites lead you to believe it is their business that is going to make you money. This is not how you make real money online, its the marketing that will make you wealthy not the business.

Another part of the problem with most web businesses is they take your money, but they will not teach you how to make it. They give you tools, but will not show you how to use them. They say you can profit overnight, but will forget you have no experience. So they provide you a bunch of links and say here go promote this everywhere you can and then when you get your few, they will get their few and so on and you will make a massive amount of money by our formula we have set out for you. I know , when i first started marketing online I fell for these scams and paid $64.00 a month to be part of this one web business, at the time I couldnt afford any more money so their I sat with this business but had no system or money left to market it. But I stayed a member for a while because I truly believed they were going to make me rich?*%??

Now a lot of people by this point will just give up on internet marketing, brushing it aside saying it is all just a bunch of hype and lies. The ones that make it big, have the desire to make it past their first obstacles  and eventually learn how you really make money online. See the so called “internet Gurus” lead you to believe that for $197.00 they are going to give you the secret to making money online. Whats really funny is they seem to keep coming up with more and more secrets every month to sell you? Now the gurus are probably going to be mad at me for telling you this, I am going to give you the secret free…….are you ready, here it is…..there is no secret. Now you can quit spending big money on all these useless Guru products. Some gurus out there use a lot of hype to sell you a lot of products that you really don’t need, but they have to hype it up otherwise you wont buy it. This is like the “cure” for cancer …..you have to have it now, otherwise you will perish!

Well I have good news for you, internet marketing is actually very simple and there is a very fundamentally sound way to go about building your business. You have known the answer all along, it has been starring you in the face every time you open an email from one of these so called gurus, yes “email marketing”.  This is where 90% of your money and time  should be invested is in the marketing process for building your email list.  This is the only way to create long term wealth online. They say “The Truth Will Set You Free” and it will because knowledge is power. Now what you do with that knowledge is up to you, only you can determine what happens from here? There is another post I made here that explains more about the tools you need as an internet marketer  to be succesful. Feel free to explore the links on the right hand side of this blog, the information is free and will explain the exact process I use everyday for making money online.

To Your Success And Happiness

What Is The Purpose Of Advertising With Safelist Like List Joe or anywhere else for that matter, forums, traffic exchanges, safelist, social networks, free ad sites?

Is it to send them a link with your main affiliate url or website link?
Is it to send them a product link and hope that they buy?
Is it to send them a new business launch?

The answer is none of the above, if you do business this way you will be like I was. I worked 9 hours a day marketing for two years and made $200 bucks??
Really, then one day while surfing one of my favorite traffic exchanges I came across a ad that I had to subscribe to get more information. I opted into a email form that sent me an email series that taught
me how to effectively advertise online. I made more money in the next 30 days then I
did the two years prior with a quarter the effort. It didnt take me long to figure out there was a more effective way to advertise!

If You are advertising the way I was you are a big lunk head, now slap yourself and listen………If You want to make serious money and not waste your time clicking away your life.

You NEED an Autoresponder and not just any autoresponder, you also NEED email optin forms and splash pages. You ONLY and I mean ONLY advertise anywhere using a page that has a email optin form or leads to one so people can subscribe to your list, so you can follow up with them. This benefits both you and your prospect, the prospect can get more information with out having to search for it, you get to send them more information and offers on a regular basis.

“Remember this” Research says that prospects need to be exposed to your offer an average of 7 times before they will make a decision to purchase or join a business offer from you.
How Do You Accomplish this, with an autoresponder, and trafficwave is the only one that will pay you as well ten levels deep. An autoresponder is an email marketing system that lets you send a series of pre written email messages 52 weeks a year to your list “Get IT”

Now you have done the work once and they will see your message 7 times or more, and you can advertise to this list other offers. This is how you get income on autopilot, their is no other way. You do the work once and get paid over and over again from your effort. Would you rather spend hours a pawn hours searching for business partners and customers every time you would like to sell something?

Heres something you also will want to understand, you use safelist and list builders to build your list because its not really your list until they subscribe from you. Your own list that you own is 10 times more responsive to your offers. (You have no relationship with them until they are on your list)

No List, No Follow Up, No Conversion=No Sales

Now that you know how to advertise more effectively, get started….This blog has laid out simple step by step instructions that teach you about autoresponders how to set them up, we even give you prewritten email letters. The best places to advertise and a whole bunch of other information for making you more money and if you have never made your first dollar online yet, you will with this system “It walks you by the hand step by step”

If you havnt joined list joe yet, heres the link

Bottom Line…It Works. I have a constant steady stream of opt in leads using List Joe. The best part? My List Joe opt ins are one of my highest sales conversions % of all my many avenues of driving leads using my autoresponder!

If Your Not Using an autoresponder with List Joe and Your other advertising you are making A Huge Financial Mistake! The Only to way to make real long term profits online is with email marketing.

To Your Success
Sincerely,
Richard Weberg
