In our Affiliate Intell Bulletins No: 3 & 4 we provided methods of Free advertising as well as some free products to advertise. If you have not had the opportunity to sign-up for these services, please do so now. The links to these advertisers and products are contained below.
________________________________________
Internet marketing can get a bit out of hand if you do not prioritize what you advertise. You can easily waste advertising credits if you fail to prioritize your advertising effort. This is where things become a little fuzzy, but it should all make perfect sense to you as you read on.
MyFreeAdboard and FreeTrafficBar are basically advertising tools, correct? However, they are also Products that produce income and/or credits which are both valuable to you if you promote them. (We will provide more ideas on how to prioritize and identify your major Programs/Products in future bulletins.)
By Comparison, Me2Everyone and The Bar clearly fall into the Program/Products fold, and would be most accurately be called Products. However, when Me2Everyone goes live, they will evolve into a Program most likely containing a number of different Products.
We also introduced you to the single best Traffic Exchange on the internet. It is the only one that provides you a referral's name and e-mail address. This Traffic Exchange is TrafficG.
TrafficG should be a major part of your business! Sign up for your account. Once you have an active account...
1. Start surfing to activate it, and build your credits.
2. Advertise your referral ID on your MyFreeAdboard and on FreeTrafficBar. (We will provide two more Traffic Exchange websites below to further assist you.)
3. Find your Referrals, save them to your List, and send a welcome/thank you e-mail.
This is how we got started and we know these methods are highly successful. You will be rewarded for this effort. If you cannot find your referrals or need assistance, go back to Affiliate Intell Bulletin #4. Please save these bulletins for reference. Or, you can always find them on this Blob.

We mentioned last week that we would provide you with Things to Avoid. These are the "Killer" Mistakes that cause 75 percent of Internet Marketers to not only fail, but also build large credit card debt trying to force success:
You will not be a millionaire by next Thursday.
(If someone tells you otherwise, they're lying.)
You can't double your money every week.
(If Warren Buffett and Bill Gates can't, neither can you!)
Nobody's going to flood your PayPal account with money while you sleep.
(You know that, right?)
The "gurus" don't care about you... they just want your money.
(Sorry, but it's true.)
"Get three who get three who get three" doesn't happen. Avoid the Matrix Promise!
(They just tell you that because it sounds so easy.)
People will lie (or misslead) to you to get you to send them money.
(Not just some people... MOST people!)
When honest people deal with dishonest people, the dishonest people ALWAYS WIN! But, why should they?
(That's why you've been losing all this time!)
All the "Caution" remarks listed above all focus on Programs. These Programs provide very attractive, professional, and tantalizing advertisements brought to you through high-priced Splash Pages. They are designed for the express purpose of getting you to sign up with the hope of making a quick buck.
If you want to truly be successful in Internet Marketing, you have to understand and avoid these temptations. You have to be focused and you have to have discipline.
In our first bulletin, we told you that we were not going to recommend any Programs/Products to you. Yes, we have provided you some Products, but they are totally free; and they were timely placed to provide you something to advertise. We have not recommended a single Program.
We advised you to stay focused on Traffic Exchanges, with your main objective being on building your credits and developing your list. If you are following this logic, you will be successful.
And, there really is good news at the "end of this tunnel:"
You CAN make money on the Internet... LOTS of money!
(IF you understand how.)
You don't have to lie or cheat other people to make money!
(It's a fact! Honesty works too!)
You can get all the help you want... when you want it... from REAL PEOPLE!
(And help won't cost you a dime!)
Stay focused! Concentrate on the Traffic Exchanges that we have shared with you. Last week, we advised you to join EasyHits4U and Traffic Splash. There are good reasons behind these recommendations which we will share with you next week. But, the short answer to that question is that they both allow you to build credit and earn commission. And, we will tell you much more on why they are both excellent products to promote.
The most difficult job you face is to ignore the constant temptation to buy something, or invest in a program that sounds "too good to be true." In other words, avoid the temptation of immediate gratification. It just doesn't exist. Avoid these temptations and you will be successful.
We have adapted a "never click" policy on our team when we surf. If there is an ad or a Splash page that appeals to us, we will write down the name of the site and research it later. We never click on a Splash page while surfing. It only slows us down.
By doing this we are practicing sound principles of "time management." There is a time to surf for credit and there is a time to do research. We separate the two functions. We know it's difficult, but if you want to be successful, you will do the same.
There are some very sound business opportunities available, and we will make a major recommendation next week.
However, you need to have advertising credits accumulated in order to advertise a program if you are to realize some immediate success. Keep up the surfing and continue to build your credits.
And, stay tuned for our next Affiliate Intell Bulletin.
In coming bulletins: Myths and Truths About List Builders, Downline Downline Builders, Relationship Marketing and List Building.

Starting Your Internet Business
Programs/Products: Programs are really different than products. Usually, you will find that a program includes several products. A program is an income producing system. (If you find a good one, it may be all that you need. This could be your complete store so to speak, or your complete home business). You will see these “systems” advertised as “the best money making system on the internet,” “our system is guaranteed to make you money,” etc.. These programs combine a number of different products from which the person ahead of you (Your Upline) gets credit and commission. The products are where the money is made.
You can market a product separately from a program. Some programs force (squeeze) a buyer into buying a product to fully utilize the system. A lot of programs charge a fee to join and/or a monthly membership fee… which is ridiculous; while others are completely free. There are programs that will start off by showing an overstated value for what they provide; for example “worth over $2,400”, then give you a much lower price at the end; for example “only $297, but you must act now.” Anytime, repeat anytime, you see an offer that includes books, tapes, a mentor, or video stay away from it. It is intended to draw you into a situation YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE IN. If you see some e-Book that you like, ask us first. Chances are we either have it or know where to get it free.
Now, we are going to let you in on a huge secret to success in this market that will not only jumpstart your business, it will save you a lot of money, time, and aggravation. We want you to build your business without a product. That’s right, without a product. What good is a product if you don’t have a clientele to sell it to? You can take this product, and spend tons of time, money and effort trying to sell it, but you are simply banging your head against a wall. You may eventually sell something, but your return on investment (ROI) will be extremely low.
The very first thing you need in this business is a LIST of contacts. Remember this if you want to be successful in this business: “The Money is in the List.” If you stick with this basic principle, you will be very, very successful. These are your Clients/Buyers! We can not tell you how many people we have spoken with that tell us they do not have a LIST. They now know why they have not had success in this business, and most have spent a ton of money on programs and paid advertising.
We will show you how to develop this list of client/buyers. Your internet business is not about programs and products, it’s about YOU and your contacts. This is your business. You need to market you. Start portraying YOUR best picture of yourself. As we move through this program, we will show you opportunities to place your picture in your marketing materials. This provides “a human touch” and places you a step above your competition. Try to keep this picture under 30 kb… that’s the lowest we’ve seen a site will take. If you don’t like your most recent pictures, use one from your past that you do like. Perhaps you have a family picture. These are very attractive in marketing, as well. Click here to see an example of one of our ads.
You need to develop a reputation of helping people accomplish their goals. You need to create trust between you and your client/buyers. You have our undivided support in this effort. Everything we tell you; everything we write; everything we recommend is yours to keep and do with whatever you want. You have complete resell rites to our material. Use it to meet your needs and grow your business. We will show you how to nurture your client/buyers, and we will give you the tools to do it.
We will introduce you to some Program/Product opportunities in our next Affiliate Intell Bulletin, but we would like you to concentrate on developing your list and setting up some free advertising methods over the next week.
So, how do you built this list? First of all, what do you need to make a contact for your list. You need a first name, and an e-mail address. That’s it!
Who do you personally know that might be interested in a work from home internet business? A lot of people would prefer not to market to family, friends, co-workers, etc. until they themselves are realizing some success. That is completely up to you. So, be on the constant lookout for Names and E-mail Addresses, and save these separately from your other contacts.
We are about to give you access to your own Adboard, so that you will have immediate access to 50-70 names and e-mail address of like minded individuals who are also trying to make money online. As a free member, you will be able to download this list. Save this e-mail list separately from others. You might want to label it “Adboard” list. You should review this list from week to week because new members join and some leave. Just add to your ongoing list. There is no need to delete any addresses. But, WAIT, go to Step 1 first!
Step 2: My Free Adboard
Step 1: Free Traffic Bar
Have we confused you adequately enough? There is a method in our madness, which will be evident a little latter. The Free Traffic Bar is a fantastic little tool. You install it on your toolbar and it displays a short text message. When you click it, you will view someone’s splash page/webpage telling you about what they selling. You may want to see what some look like, but do no sign up for any programs/products!
Every time your browser reloads, you receive a credit. We just want you to build up your advertising credits now. And, you will build up a lot of credits. If you have more that one computer, load it on any you have. The owner of the site, Garland Coulson, is going to try to sell you something. Every time you sign in, there’s an offer to buy something. Just ignore the ads. You can just scroll to the bottom of the page and say NO. Try to go into the site at least once a day. With every daily sign-in, you get 150 credits. That’s 150 more chances that someone will view your ad and buy your program or product. Plus, we are going to ensure that you start off with a ton of credits. Once you have completed this step, go back and get your Free Adboard.
More on your Free Adboard… As a free member, you receive a 50 percent commission on anyone you refer who upgrades to a paying (Pro) membership. Once you have your account established, simply follow the Instructions to get it online. You will learn about Clickbank, Google Adsense, Bidvertiser, and OTO Goldmine. Sign-up for all these free money makers! Make sure you write down all your account numbers, affiliate IDs, and passwords for future reference. If you have MS Excel or any spreadsheet software, you can build a single file with all this information and save it on your desktop.
Also, you get to submit ads on this network every three days. But, you don’t have any program or product!
Here are two fantastic products that you can join and advertise:
Me2Everyone – This is program that is still in Beta. They have not gone live yet. You get 1,000 company shares just for joining before they go live. And, you get 200 shares for everyone you refer. When we first joined, we received 3,000 shares for referral. Now it’s down to 200. And, honestly, this isn’t going to last much longer. They are predicting that 1,000 shares will be worth a good deal of money in 3 years.
The Bar - We almost hate to do this to you because we know that we are crowding up your toolbar; however, this is an immediate money maker. You are not going to make much, but The Bar’s true value is in its Viral Effect over time. You recommend it to your list, they recommend it to theirs, and on and on. In time, and with continuous promotion, this can create a very sizeable income stream for you.
This will keep you busy for a while! Experiment with different ads to see what works best for you. You have a lot of work to do to get started, but it’s well worth it. Next week, you’ll receive more information on free advertising and list building. You will learn about Banner Ads and much more… so stay tuned!
