My affiliates are a huge part of my success and I LOVE to pay them commissions. But of course, some of my affiliates earn more than others…

I noticed that one of my affiliates, Janet Legere, was almost always my #1 affiliate each month. While I was happy Janet was doing so well promoting me, I wanted to know how she did so well selling my products so that I could help my other affiliates do the same.
So, I chatted with her about what she was doing.  It was so simple it was brilliant!

First off, she wasn’t just earning money from MY products, she had set up a simple system that gave her MULTIPLE streams of income. And Janet set up her system so that others can join and use it so they don’t have to set up their own.
Her system is called Earth Friendly Biz and you can check it out for free here.
P.S.  She also has a coupon in her system for 10,000 Free Traffic Bar credits

Here is a strange confession for a traffic exchange owner. I don’t want traffic. I don’t even pay attention to which places send me the most traffic.

Why not? Because I want to EARN MONEY. This is how I earn my living, so instead of traffic I want subscriber signups and sales.

If one traffic source, such as a traffic exchange sends me 1,000 visitors with 3 signups, this is not as good as another one that only sends me 300 visitors with 10 signups.

So when I track my advertising, I don’t track clickthroughs, visitors and traffic, I track where the actual signups and sales come from.

Because those are what actually pay the bills each month!

Free Traffic Bar is coming up in the world!

When I did a search for the key word phrase free traffic today, Free Traffic Bar showed up as #3!

A year ago, we were WAY down the search results for the phrase free traffic.  Thanks to all our members who have promoted us to bring us to this level.

EVERY successful Internet marketer has their own lists.  Lead capture pages help you build your own list, just like the “gurus.”

Today, I’m going to compare two products that let you easily createlead capture pages, Marketing
Makeover Generator and the silver edition of our own Internet One System.

I used the silver edition of Internet One instead of the Gold version as Marketing Makeover Generator doesn’t offer sales pages and resale rights so it wouldn’t be a faircomparision to show it against Internet One Gold.

Here is a table giving you a quick overview of the Internet One and Marketing Makeover Generator review.
Underneath you will find an explanation of each feature.

Pricing:

At $17 per month, Internet One System is less than 1/2 the monthly cost of Marketing Makeover Generator and has more features.

Lead Capture Page Templates:

Both systems offer lead capture page templates that let you quickly create your own lead capture page.  But only Internet One System offers new headers each month so that you can keep your look fresh.

Auto Responder:

Both systems have unlimited auto responders built in and also work with popular third party auto responders like Aweber and Get Response.

Video/Audio Capability:

Both systems let you easily add audio and video to your lead capture pages.

Affiliate Commissions:

Marketing Makeover Generator offers a 30%  monthly commission on referrals.  Internet One System offers 25% if you are a silver member and 50% if you are a gold member.

Product Library:

Internet One System has a library of free ebooks and free software you can give away on your lead capture pages.  Marketing Makover Generator doesn’t offer a product library for the lead capture pages
you create.

Prewritten Ad Copy:

For products in the Internet One library, many have prewritten ad copy that automatically adds to your lead capture page.  Marketing Makover Generator doesn’t offer prewritten ad copy.

Source Tracking:

One of the most critical tools of Internet marketing is the ability to tell what traffic sources actually result in signups and which are wasted.  Internet One System will tell you the conversion rates on each traffic source. Marketing Makeover Generator lacks this feature.

Viral List Builder:

Internet One System has a viral list builder built in.  As your leads sign up through your lead capture pages, they also become members of Internet One via your affiliate link.  As they create their own lead capture pages, their signups also become part of the downline you can email to.  Marketing Makeover Generator
lacks this feature.

ROI Calculator:

Internet One System lets you plug in the cost of your advertising and the value of your lead and will then automatically calculate your Return On Investment. Marketing Makeover Generator lacks this feature.

I hope you have found this Internet One System and Marketing Makeover Generator review useful.  You can learn more about Internet One System at http://InternetOneSystem.com.

 Superbowl Commercials vs. Internet Advertising: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Super Bowl commercials can cost as high as $2.6 million. But do they work?

Ad agencies love to compete for artistic awards within their industry and talk about nebulous concepts like “branding”. But most entrepreneurs just want to know one thing.

…Did my advertising make me money?

The problem is that Super Bowl commercials and other television advertising don’t give you an easy way to tell your advertising made money or not.

…But the Internet makes it incredibly simple to know the actual results of each campaign.

Unlike Super Bowl commercials and other television advertising, Internet advertising can connect each advertising source directly with a sale or other action such as a newsletter signup, even if it happens months later. This lets businesses calculate their return on investment for all the advertising they do.

I test and track my own advertising online and, in my experience, approximately 90% of the advertising sources I test fail to produce a profit!

While this makes it sound like businesses can’t make money with advertising, when you test and track over time, you can expand your advertising with profitable advertising sources and quickly dump the money draining ones. After 6 to 8 months of a program like this, you can have 80 to 90% of your marketing producing excellent results.

I believe that Super Bowl commercials are a HUGE waste of time. As younger, Internet-savvy CEOs take the helm of more Fortune 500 companies (or build their own Fortune 500 company which happens often), they will move away from this type of wasteful advertising in favor of Internet advertising where they know the impact of each ad on the bottom line.

Surveys show that more young people people are switching their entertainment time from television to the Internet. How long will it be before multi-million dollar Super Bowl commercials go the way of the dinosaurs?
