Joining and Setting Up Your First Money Stream
If you are still with me I congratulate you on your perseverance – but then, you knew you would find gold on the Internet, didn‘t you? It was only a matter of time and your undying patience.
Assuming we are still in this you-and-me marketing plan, let‘s move on. You have joined Diamond Cash Club (DCC), and invested your $220. You know already that your ROI (Return On Investment) will be gigantic, and not in years, but in months. So let‘s get this show on the road.
My best sources for advertising are not for free ads of course, but if your entry into this program has taken your life‘s savings, I will offer some of these sources to get you started with traffic. It‘s our only task here -- traffic, traffic and more traffic.
Obviously, DCC has given us good choices for banners and leads. If we use those first we can feel sure that we have not spammed. No real company tolerates SPAM. So here is some cautions to keep in mind because when it comes to advertising, ignorance is your worst enemy,
If you are not 100% sure the email list is a good one, just don’t use it.
If you have ever bought a CD-ROM filled with emails, DON’T use it.
If you plan to buy one, DON’T! These lists are spam lists, they are harvested from the Internet and are not Opt-In lists where people have chosen to receive mail.
Use only REAL safelists — the only way to know for sure is to sign up and wait to see if you receive a first email asking you to confirm that you signed up there.
Never use a Guaranteed Sign Ups paid program, you will lose money, and never get a signup.
I can‘t give you a conversion rate because I use a Splash Page. I DO know how many come to my page from my ads… and maybe or maybe not go on to the replicated DCC page that carries my member ID. I do know that I have little trouble getting new members into this program. I believe it‘s because I take the time to first explain how this program works, and do it without hype, BS or empty promises.
I don‘t try to convince anyone of anything — good fortune doesn‘t work that way; you either recognize it and jump on it or ignore it.
So let‘s talk about what to say in your ad, and then we‘ll decide where to find some free-ad space.
Brevity is the key here. I‘ll begin with a choice of headers or Subject field.
Ultimate Leveraged Income Income For Life
Leave The Time-For-Money Trap Feed Your Wallet, It’s Hungry
Under any of these Titles, you can briefly give a hint to what they will enjoy. Ads are not meant to make the sale, but to bring them to the place that WILL make the sale. Entice, generate interest or curiosity… and above all —- tell them what‘s in it for them!
1. Quit giving your time-for-money. Learn how to make your money work for you!
2. If you can‘t sing or ride a bull, you need Leveraged Income.
3. Affiliate work is too hard; I like money-making-money for good reasons.
4. My prospects come to me — do yours?
5. I meet new members after they have joined and paid me.
6. No selling, no phoning, no closing, no kidding? Does it get any better?
Of course you can tweak these lines any way you wish, and I encourage you to do that. At the bottom of your messages will be your Splash Page or your replicated Page that DCC has given you.
A few tips: Statistics say that capitalizing each word in an ad draws better responses, also, do not use all caps — that is the equivalent of screaming! Not Good. If you can bold your headline, do so. Not all free ad spaces will allow this.
Here are some free-ad places to get you started with traffic.http://www.freeadvertisingforum.com/ This is a forum with hundreds of members. You will have to register in order to place one of your ads. I have used this but hard to know if it generates a lot of quality responses or merely lookers. The difference is, quality responses are apt to join, lookers (who use free ad space themselves) are broke.
http://adlandpro.com/default.aspx?rep=106257 I have had excellent results from this program. Place a free ad and name the Country you wish to place it in. Also sign up for their free subscription to Adlandpro Digest. Later I suggest you update to paid‘ member for more benefits.
http://www.usnetads.com I placed an ad under business free for 120 days. Try it.
But even with these selections, you can find hundreds of Ezines that will let you place a free ad in exchange for your subscription. Just fill in details to accept their Ezine in your mailbox, and you can place a free ad. I would caution you to select only the ones that are oriented in sales and marketing or home based businesses. Someone who publishes an Ezine on Real Estate or Auto Parts will not help you to target your potential members.
http://www.evieb.com/new-zads.html This is my favorites for free ads. Be sure you subscribe to her Ezine first. She offers bonuses to new subscribers. Look for others in any Search Engine by typing in: Free Ezine Ads
Now lets move to Paid Ads – hopefully your free ads have at least given you a couple of new members that recovers your investment. Now we want to begin to really, really, get some heavy traffic and make some awesome money.
You certainly can use the same ads as designed above, but let‘s look for some highpotential, targeted, opt-in addresses that will push your earnings to the roof.First let‘s upgrade your AdlandPro account for $14.95/month (Gold membership can come later on). This upgrade will give you:
Automatic hourly renewal of your ad – this is important because every time you post an ad whether it is a free or fee, it drops down and down as others come there to place their ad. AdlandPro will bring your ad to the top of the page every ½ hour! PLUS, many more super features. Good deal.
Your subscribership to EvieB‘s Ezine: check out her offers on Top Sponsor ad or Middle Sponsor ad. She also runs Solo ads. When you can afford to pay for an ad, these are excellent choices because all of her 65,000 subscribers read her ads and are looking for a perfect opportunity. All ezines (btw), offer huge discounts in June, July and August.
Go to Google and plug in: Marketing Ezine Directory. When I went to http://
www.zinester.com there was a list of marketing ezines. Just randomly selecting
Go4Profit.com I found all the particulars. Since they are all marketing, check next for the subscriber base and go for the biggies – i.e.: Latest issue delivered to 25,599 subscribers - I don‘t pay for ads with less than 10,000 subscribers.
Okay, enough about online ads. Don‘t ignore offline ads. Many will not bother with local newspaper ads, or even large city advertisements and this is a mistake.
Check this out: http://citynews.com and post an ad in Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, San Diego, or your choice. You can have a bold headline and brief ad (like above) for about $9.93 for 30 days.
Be innovative, be original, find some new sources like flyers in your neighborhood, or postcards to your town, or offer a neighborhood wine&cheese party and tell them about your Leveraged Income for Life. Send them to your website.
Keep this in mind: You only need to get 2 people to begin your money stream. Train them where needed, otherwise, relax, travel, volunteer for a soup kitchen or your kids school projects. OR — start another Sapphire Target! If you used Mega as your username, set this new one up as Mega2, and find 2 new members to fill it. Get yourself as many Diamond Targets re-cycling as you want!
Make good use of your freedom from the Time-For-Money trap! You have earned it. Welcome to the top.
