Hi {!name},

Well, as most of you know I've been learning
about "Attraction Marketing" for a while now
among my other marketing tasks... thought I
would update you with my progress... it's
going fairly well statistics wise but still very
challenging financially (can't quit my day job
just yet)...

Also, if you've been keeping tabs on me, you
know I've discovered Twitter... it's simply
amazing what you can accomplish using the
right tools like Twitter and traffic exchanges.
However, I've been neglecting a much more
valuable tool, my blog/newsletter... here is a
link to a VERY good article about the topic of
Twittering and blogging...

There have also been several changes to the

Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler have my mind

reeling

 

They have recently collaborated to explain,

in simple to understand terms, a relatively

new method of internet marketing they have

dubbed "Attraction Marketing"...

 

After listening to the audio version of "The

Attraction Marketing Manifesto" (twice) that

        

        

I've been promoting and participating in a number of traffic exchanges over the last 7 = months or so...

 

I'm discovering that there are certain aspects of using them which the average user either doesn't understand or is unwilling to submit to...

 

The term "Traffic Exchange" is pretty self explanatory, you surf other websites (usually for "credits") and in exchange the system will direct its other members to your site(s)... maybe... up until about 3 weeks ago I opted to "purchase" the credits necessary to keep the exchanges going instead of surfing for the credits (I'm a very busy man, not a lot of time to spare for surfing), This option is OK for a while, but depending on the price for your credits, can get too expensive to justify, which is where I am at now, I've had to cut advertising expenses WAY back. The point I'm trying to make is that most of the services I've used are great at what they promise, more traffic, but you have the option to surf for your credits or purchase them.

 

Let me take just a minute and point out something else that the average user doesn't usually understand as well... the actual traffic that is generated to your site is usually in much too much of a hurry to actually stop and have a look at your pitch. It is mainly composed of other marketers that are surfing only to get more credits hoping that you will stop at their site and look at their own pitch, you've only got about 10 seconds to capture their attention and convince them to have a closer look at what your pitch is about...

 

All in all, I'm very pleased with the result of my efforts in these exchanges:

Hi {!name},

I think if you consider the chart below carefully,
I can tell you in all honesty tha the sudden increase
in traffic over the last few months is a direct result of
using Jason Lamure's service named MyEasyPromoter.com

Now, thanks to you fine folks and the excellent feedback
I've gotten, I am well on my way to be able to quit this job
I have by year's end. And if you have been following my
progress I've mentioned in several places on my social site
that something new was coming in May. I've become an
Ambit Energy Consultant, click the image below, if you have html
turned on in your email client, if you only have text you need
to get your head together and figure out how to turn it on man !!
Just email me if you need help. If you live in Texas, New York, Illinois,
or Ohio: I sure would like you to take a look-see at what energy
deregulation is all about. It's only going to happen once and it's
going to be mucho bigger than when Ma Bell got de-regulated
AND, energy deregulation is just in the beginning stages. If you do
go to the website and fill out the form, it will immediately send you
to a webpage that explains the whole thing in a series of 4 short videos.

Please Please hold your questions until you've actually watched the videos,
then I'll be glad to help ya with anything you need answered.

        

As you all observed from the last two
postings I made with this new system I discovered
about using email to post to
my blog, this particular setup has major flaws...

So until it gets fixed by the creators of
the blog software I'm using, I'll have to
intercept each post before it publishes
And make manual adjustments as necessary.

That said, I still like the concept and if
necessary I will switch blog software to something
that works better.

Best Regards,

Bob Perry

Dern thing posts to the blog ok, except haven't
figured out how to make it translate links
correctly, and it's not filtering through to my
AWeber yet either, if yall don't mind a few
emails, I should have the problems corrected
relatively quickly.

        

Hi {!name},

Bet you thought the newsletter was pretty much
ca-putt? ... Not hardly, we've finally got a way
for me to handle the newsletter AND the recent
increase in traffic at
http://www.rjventure.com/smf/

I have discovered how to incorporate my blog,
AWeber auto responder, AND email client into a
system where I can just do an email post to my
blog and it automatically broadcasts it to my
newsletter subscribers. This posting is the first
installment of what I hope to be MANY more thought
provoking entries to my blog. Call this a test if
you will, but none the less if everything is set
up properly, it's going to lighten my own workload
considerably.

If the results are favorable... just email me to
show you how to do this if you'd like. And I don't
mind telling you approximately how much I pay to
keep this setup going...

Comcast high speed internet connection (which
includes limited cable TV ) = $70.38/mo
ExtraHosting website hosting account (my blog
hosted free) = $25.95/mo
AWeber auto responder account
= $19.95/mo

------------------

$116.28/mo

And there's a ton of other perks not everyone
realizes... all for about $120.00 a month. It's
been a struggle over the past two years but I've
managed to keep everything up and running PLUS pay
a mortgage and the other normal bills so I don't
want to hear yall complain about shoestring
budgets.

Well, time marches right along without regard to personal preferences, yes? So I am going to have to make time for this because I have discovered, well, "finally realized" is a better term... just how much search engines love blogs !! So you will see more frequent entries here from this point forward.

A lot has happened with eMarketing Exchange Forums over the last month or so... as you can see from the following snippet, traffic overall (because these charts I've been showing off cover the whole eMarketing Exchange domain, this link takes you to the root page) has set a new record!!

        

As you can see below, December was horrible but we're back on a upward trend again



Also wanted to announce there is a contest ongoing in my forums win a free webcam!!

        

        

        

        

Hi all,

It's been well over a year since I began this eMarketing Exchange venture and I just want to thank those of you who have visited my website/blog/forums. As a lot of you know, it's a real challenge to make money online. As of this writing, I make just enough to stay afloat. Discouraging as that may sound, I want to encourage each of you who read this that as for myself, I have just as much enthusiasm now as when I started out in marketing, never give up hope!

I plan to keep plugging away at this until it takes me to where I want to be financially, no matter if it takes me another year or three. I plan to start putting more effort into it as I've slowed down over the last six months or so. I subscribe to a number of different ezines and newsletters and have been studying much of the content of several of them. Everybody has an answer to your financial woes don't they? Weeding through all the hype and blatant advertising to get good solid advice is a daunting and time consuming task, but absolutely necessary if you want to avoid wasting your money. Don't fall into the trap that seems to get most newbies started down the wrong path, and that is "program jumping". Don't jump on the band wagon of the hype masters so easily, do your homework on these so called gurus. Trust me, many of these folks will stop at nothing to get your hard earned money, stretching the truth so far out whack that it borders on an outright lie.

If you do get into one that is good, please consider sharing that story in my forum, others will be encouraged by it believe me, and you'll boost your credibility in the process! On the flip side, reporting a program that doesn't work so good could save someone else from wasting time with it.

        

This is not just a tip for those in the military, it applies to just about every walk in life these days...

One stumbling block, that I'm very glad I tackled many years ago, is keeping on top of your financial picture. There are some very good financial software packages out there, such as Microsoft Money, Quicken, Peachtree, and others. I use Quicken myself, since way back in the DOS days in fact. If you are seriously considering making a living online, you're wasting your time if you think you can get by without one of these packages or letting someone else take care of the financial side of the venture (unless you trust the other party with your life of course!). These packages may seem a bit intimidating at first, don't let that stand in your way to seeing a clear picture of where you and your venture stand financially. My own experiences with Quicken tell me that these companies hire very good programmers, they try to make basic accounting a breeze by being as intuitive in the look and feel of their product as possible. Trust me, once you understand how to use the package, it's a piece of cake to check things out daily. And especially if your bank supports online banking, you can pay your bills totally online in most cases. I don't have to worry about paper checks, envelopes, addresses, or stamps. I can schedule a payment to made in just a few clicks and the bank takes care of everything. As long as there is money in my account there are no problems.

        

I've come across an opportunity that I am sure you may be interested in... digital audio books. With the time restraints most of us are under, this is sure to be a market to profit from for many years to come. Check this blog and see if you don't agree: http://www.build-an-empire.com/blog/

Also wanted to take this time to say thanks to all of you for keeping my spirits up that I'm getting through to at least a few who see marketing the same way I do, with a lot of enthusiasm and awe.

Best regards,
Bob

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog, it's my first one so bear with me if I mess around and tweak it as we go. And as you get to know me, you'll soon discover that I am a lot like many of yall, we "know" there is money to be made on the Internet, but getting a piece of the pie is not as easy as a lot of marketers make it sound. But in my case I have an edge on a lot of folks, I've spent the last 20 years or there abouts, working in the traditional high tech corporate world. I am very comfortable with modern technology
