Is there one? No, sorry to break the news. The fact is there are dozens and dozens of advertising sources you can take advantage of right now to get your products in front of people. Whether it’s PPC, website ads, banner exchanges, email advertising, traffic exchanges, etc., there is no single “best” source to use.

You need to evaluate the advertising source for your purpose. Are you looking to tap into search engine traffic? Maybe PPC (such as adwords) is a good idea. Is your need to generate website views without having a budget? Free traffic exchanges may be your best bet.

The fact of that matter is, no ONE source is the “best”. Your situation may be different than someone else’s such as budget, time and need…or combination. So how do you know what will work for you? Testing sources for advertising will help tell you what works the best for YOU. Some people swear by traffic exchanges but since most manual traffic exchanges require lots of time to invest, that might not work for you.

Do your tests, record the results, make changes and try another sources.

Best of luck!

During the last couple months I’ve been paying attention to something that has bothered me. It seemed that if I purchased a tutorial/training course or similar product that something better would come along not too long after. Now, of course that isn’t hard to believe since thousands of people are involved in affiliate marketing. Plus, hundreds (if not more) of people release products each month…

What is really amazing to see is who promotes these products. I’ve seen some big name marketers promote a product and then the next month they promote a very similar product, touting IT as the best…what about that first product you were recommending? That to me seems an unethical tactic and a poor way to advertise affiliate products.

To you, how much selling is over-kill? And, how often? When I see the same people advertising products practically every few days, it really becomes annoying. No?

One of the easiest ways of getting traffic to any website is by using a very popular means of advertising called a Traffic Exchange. To put it briefly, a Traffic Exchange works like this: you view a member website and in return you will get a visitor to your website. Typically there is a surf (when you are viewing member websites one at a time) ratio such as 3:1 which means you would view three member websites and in return have your website seen once. If you understand this then you’d agree that the best type surf ratio would be one that didn’t exist. 

We put together a Traffic Exchange that solves the surf ratio problem. Instead of a 3:1 ratio or even 1:1 ratio, why not give unlimited website views to you? This makes it one of the best traffic exchanges around.

List Surfing is a new way of using the power behind a Traffic Exchange without the hassle of surfing CONSTANTLY and having to view far more websites than you’ll receive back. Instead, all you need to do is surf 50 websites a month and open 10 member emails every 30 days – you’ll receive unlimited traffic to your website(s) this way. You are not depending on accumulating credits nor are you going to spend a long time trying to grow your credits.

On top of the normal surfing we added an email advertising feature. You are able to email hundreds of other members to advertise your website, and they WANT to open it because they’ll earn more credits and keep their account active.

We’ve received great feedback from members and have made MANY improvements to the features. Signup for Free to ListSurfing and start driving traffic to your websites!

Additional features include text ads, downline builder, banner ads, start pages and more…

Previously I wrote about the importance in building an email list so this post is about the ‘how’ part of the equation. I’d like to first mention that there are dozens of ways to effectively build an email list of your own that I simply will not cover in this post since there are so many possibilities.

There are thousands of people on the Internet every day who are searching for an answer. Generally that answer will solve some kind of problem they are facing or resolve an issue. sorry, but you need to read between the lines a little bit in order to understand what I mean. The answers people search for aren’t necessarily based on factual questions but rather on ‘how to’ or some kind of help to make their lives better. It can be in the form of a book, a product to help in the kitchen, cooking instructions, medical “cures” for a sickness…the list goes on.

What does this have to do with “how” to build a list? Something that you may or may not know already is that you can build a list in virtually any market/niche that you desire. Marketers already have wide variety of email lists from bowling to cooking to musical instrument instructions to the most obvious, how to make money on the Internet. One of the strategies to list building is targeting a niche of some kind. You want to focus your attention to a specific market in order to appeal to a audience you know would be interested in your product/service. In most cases the people in markets outside the “how to make money online” niche are going to be easier to sell as they have not been hammered or saturated with product offerings around their interests. By targeting these less saturated niches you open plenty of opportunity to grow your business and get plenty of untouched leads.

In order to build a list the easiest way is providing content for free. This content needs to be valuable, interesting, and unique/different than the average content you would find on almost any related website. By providing valuable, free content, people will want to come back for more. If you offer a bunch of stuff for free (and it’s valuable with good info) the visitor/prospect will be more willing to buy from you – that’s simply how it is.

You can offer free content such as videos and eBooks via an auto-responder. The visitor goes to your website, they read some copy for the freebie (and the copy shouldn’t be long by the way because you’re giving something away), the visitor fills out a short form which automatically subscribes them to your auto-responder system, and then they get the freebie emailed to them automatically. Now you have that visitors information and they have the freebie you promised. it’s really that simple, honestly.
