Traffic Exchanges are one the the oldest advertising methods online today, and they still work great, if you work them properly. What a traffic exchange is, is you view others web site and you earn credits by doing this. In exchange your credits are used up, by others viewing your web site. The first Traffic Exchange I want to discuss, is Traffic Swarm, the biggest, and in my opinion, the best on the net!
Traffic Swarm provides a built-in traffic and advertising source for your new website. When you sign up and activate your account, you get 100 free advertising credits. You can immediately login to your Traffic Swarm account, set up an ad for free and promote your site to millions of online visitors at no cost whatsoever. This is an amazing free advertising program that will put you on the fast track to getting traffic and making profits with your website. Click here to sign up FREE now!
Now the question is, do I upgrade my Traffic Swarm account . . . .or not? I have been using Traffic Swarm for 2 years, and I generate signups for my programs almost every day. There is a secret to Traffic Swarm, that most free members do not know. If you are a Pro Member, you get 2500 credits per month just to start out. And most important. You earn 2 – 3 time the credits for surfing that freemembers get. Also, you can make money. You get a $5 commission for every personally sponsored member. It doesn’t stop there $4 for the next level. $3, next, $2, and then $1 per month for the 5th level. I took me only 15 days to get my monthly Traffic Swarm paid for, by referring my members to this great Traffic Exchange. You also get credits for all the surfing habits of your downline members. Now, upgraded members sites get shown more. Of course, it cost money for Traffic Swarm to operate. They must reward there Pro Members. One of the key secrets I use, is I never let my Traffic Swarm credits get below 3000. The Traffic Swarm programmers use complicated algorithms to decide which ads to show and how often. They have to look at how many credits members have, and show the ads of the members with the most credits more often to use up those credits.The other secret I use is multiple ads, pointing to the same web sites. I currently use 25 ads to promote my business. Each ad gives the viewer a different reason to click on my ad. Make your ads enticing and interesting. Try to have a opt-in form on your page to collect visitors email addresses
The most important thing to remember when advertsiing in Traffic Exchanges, is you Ad, and your Web Site, must offer someting different, something exciting. Traffic Exchange users usually already have a business, but really, most have been unsuccessful in their ventures, and are open to good offers
My traffic Swarm Pro memberships is one of my most cost effective advertising methods I use to promote my websites.

Traffic Exchanges are an excellent way to promote your site online. Traffic Swarm is talked about above, but there are also many other good Traffic Exchanges out there.

The information you will want to right down, or maybe copy and paste into a Note Pad or Word Pad document for each site as you sign up is you’re User Name and Password, your SURF URL and your REFERRAL URL. You may have to log into the site after you sign up to get this information. Make sure after you sign up and log into the site that you website you are promoting is as explained above.
————————————————-
Once you have all this information and especially your SURF URL’s for each of the Traffic Exchanges you will have to install Crazy Browser. I prefer Crazy Browser to Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox, as it is not very resourceful on your computer, and I find I can open more site with it. You can use what you want, but it must be a tabbed browser.
This lesson is a bit longer but is an ABSOLUTE MUST for you to succeed with Traffic Exchanges.
I will break this down in 5 simple steps for you. Just do 1 step at a time and then come back to this page.Step 1: Download and install ‘Crazy Browser’ by clicking here: http://www.crazybrowser.com
I use Crazy Browser, as it is a small program and will not interfere with your current preferred Web Browser. You only need to use it when you want to Surf your Traffic ExchangesWhat the heck is a Crazy Browser?Crazy Browser is a powerful web browser. It has the ability to open multiple sites and windows inside a single browser task. This has full support for Windows XP theme and P3P privacy policy (requires IE6) and JavaScript error suppression. It can handle multiple monitors and has tab status indicators. Annoying ad windows can be removed automatically and multiple pages can be saved and reopened together.
Step 2: Crazy Browser has a feature that allows you to save any combination of URLs as individual groups.
Open Crazy Browser and in the address line type in or copy and paste the first SURF URL from your list of Traffic Exchanges. Once the page has loaded, copy and paste the 2nd SURF URL from your list. You will notice a second tab opens in Crazy Browser. Now continue to do this for all your SURF URL’S. When you are done, you will have a total of 14 Tabs open in Crazy Browser if you signed up for all the Traffic Exchanges.
Step 3: Now, click on the main menu at the top of Crazy Browser where it reads “Groups” and then click on “Save all pages as group.” A windows file window will open, give your group a name; i.e. Traffic Exchanges.
Step 4: After having done this, every time you start Crazy Browser you can simply open the saved group in the menu bar from the drop-down menu under “Groups.” When the pages finish loading, you can just press F3 to go to the next hit exchange program to bring up new pages in the manner required by each different program. When you initially open your browser you’ll be earning 1 credit in all the programs at once. That’s 14 plus credits just for opening your browser.
If you have a slow connection and/or not very powerful computer, opening 16 pages or more at the same time may be too much. In such a case try less pages until your computer is running fast enough that you are happy with it.
Step 5: Crazy Browser allows you to disable pop-ups by clicking on “Options” in the top menu bar, then on “Advanced Settings” and then on “Popup Filter” in the drop-down menu to the left.
Using this method with a cable connection I can generate 800-1500 hit credits ina little over 1 hour. You can set your own target according to your connection speed and time limits. If your Internet Connection or computer are not powerful enough for this, create 2 groups of 8 and alternate the days you sure on them.
Even without any referrals, working 14 or more traffic programs at once using this method allows you to generate a large amount of traffic. Add the traffic you can generate by sharing this method with your referrals and you are talking major streams of free traffic.
There are many different programs on the web geared to using hit exchanges to generate traffic, but they all have one thing in common – their foundation is hit page traffic generation. In that regard, what I am teaching you is a method 14 times more powerful than any of the others. It provides a way for you and all of your referrals who join the traffic programs under you in replicating it to generate 14 times the traffic.
Please Note: When you open your Crazy Browser and load your saved group name, not all the Surf 4 Hits programs will auto load to your start URL. You may have to log-in to a few of them the first time to get things going. This is an awesome tool – Happy Surfing!

Well, the title says it all folks. Again, “THE MONEY IS IN YOUR LIST”. Do not forget this. To build any successful Internet Marketing Business, you must have an autoresponder, and you must capture your prospects email address as they visit your site. Your customers may not buy the first time. You need to be constantly in contact with them, encouraging them to return to your site and buy.
This is no different than an offline business. These business usually keep in contact with you by mail. Have you ever shopped at Sears? Well, you are probably receiving Sears
Catalogues by mail, their way of encouraging you to return to their business to buy more.
If you already have an autoresponder, you can skip ahead here. If you need one, here is one that have have used for two years, and I highly recommend. Response Magic, by Platinum Synergy. A great autoresponder, affordable and a high email success rate.
CLICK HERE to sign up to Response Magic. Select the Home Edition with is less than $20 per month.
After you are registered and logged into your account, the first thing you need to do is edit your personal settings.
Now complete the following fields with your information and click on Update.
Now that you got that set up, Its time to set up your List and your Welcome Message. To set up your list, after logging to Response Magic, click on Settings, List Settings, then Add a
List. You will be promoted to enter a Title for your List. This will become the List’s Name. Enter your new List’s name and click Add List. Your List has now been created. Pretty Simple hey? With Response Magic you can have as many lists as you want.
Now that you have your List created, we need to add a Welcome Message. From your Home Page in Response Magic, Select your List From the Drop Down Box near the bottom of the page.
Now click on Email Management. This Welcome Message we are about to create will be the automated message your Visitors will receive after opting into your site – I will show you later how to create that opt-in form to place on your web site. Click on ADD HTML, see where I am pointing to in the picture below.
Now in this screen, is where you write your Welcome Message. Note the use of ~~firstname~~ which personalizes your letter with your Visitors First Name. Try not to make this a Sales Letter, but more of a Personal Welcome and some information on your Product or Service. Be sure to have your contact information at the bottom, including a link to your web site, the Preview and Save your message
After you Save, click on Close and you are brought back to the messages screen. Here you can add a bunch of sales letters that can be sent out to your visitors every few days, totally automating your email marketing. Remember though, do not sent them too many emails, a couple a week encouraging them to come back to your web site is enough. When you want to create a new message, click on ADD HTML MESSAGE. You will see the field “Days from last message to send this message”. So if you want to send them a message every 3 days, you would put 3 in this field.
What I like to do, in the beginning, right after they have opted in to your list, is to send them a message 1 day after the Automated Message, then about 3 messages every 2 days, then start spreading them ut a bit. Like maybe 4 days, then 6 days. Just enough to keep them interested.
Your messages can be informational or sales orientated, do a mix of both.
As you list begins to grow, make sure to make use of the Broadcast Feature. This is great if your company is having a Sale. All you have to do is click on Broadcast, at the top of the page, then Send Broadcast. Select the list you want to broadcast to, write your message, and click on Send. This message will immediately go out to everyone on the list(s) you selected.
Now you are asking, I have my list set up, I have my messages set up. how do I get people on my list. Great question. Look to the left of this page, you will see “Join My News Letter” and under it a place to put your Name and Email. This is an opt-in form created in Response Magic and added to my page. This is one way to build a list. Another way to to build a capture page. This is a page, with only a small amount of information about your company, but an opt-in form the visitor must fill out to continue further. You will have to decide which way is best for your web site.
To create the opt-in form so it works with Response Magic, log into your Response Magic, click on Tools, Generate Signup. Now, select the List that you want to use for this form. This will be the list that the Visitors information will go in to. The Form Title, is what you will see at the top of the Opt-in Box. The From Address will be your email address. Now, check off which fields you want on the form, in addition to their email address. My personal experience here, is the less information you ask for the better. Only if you are selling an high end product, and you intend to personally call each Visitor, should you be requesting their Phone Number.
The most important part of the Form is the URL. If you are using this form on a Capture Page, the URL should be the web address that you want the Visitor to be directed to after filling out the form. This will be your main web site. If you are putting the form on your Main Web Site, then you can do two thing here. Use your Main Web Site address, and the Visitor will be brought right back to your Main Web Site, or create a Thank You Page, that your Visitor will arrive on after completing the form, and this page will thank them for joining your list.
There are two other options to fill out, then click on Create Form. See the picture below to clarify.
After you click on Create Form, Response Magic will create the HTML code for you to place on your web site. Once you place this code on your Web Site, you can edit the size and colors of the form with your favorite HTML editor.
If you are marketing an Affiliate Program, and do not have access to change your Web Site, you can still build a list by creating your own Capture Page with your opt-in form on it. You will need your own domain name, and web hosting to do this. This is not expensive, or really that difficult. I suggest going to GibSales and registering a domain name and choosing one of their inexpensive Web Hosting and Web Site Building Packages. You can visit them HERE (If you are already a GibLink Member, make sure you purchase Domains and Web Hosting from your own GibSales Site. If you are not a GibLink Member, you need to check it out HERE)
There it is, the first of the Twelve Steps to Internet Success, and the beginning of your Internet Marketing Journey. Its time to move on to Step 2 – Traffic Exchanges

I started this Blog for one reason and one reason only. To share my success with others. Everything I write about on this Blog will be a proven method of generating leads for your business or generating income. There are so many different ways to generate leads for your business, and there are so many ways to make money online. If you are like me, your inbox has become saturated with offers and business opportunities. I look at many lead generation strategies, and many business opportunities. The only one that will make it to this Blog, are the ones that really work.
Let’s talk about Lead Generation. If you currently have a Primary Internet Marketing Business, you need leads. You can buy them if you want, you will need to pay at least $4 a piece for good leads, and usually these are shared with 2 – 5 other people. Then you have to cold call these leads, who have never been to your site. I despise this method, and only a few people out there are good at it, so I do not do this, and do not find this duplicateable. Now online lead generation is a whole different story. These are hot leads, that have been to your site, opted into your list, and are expecting to here from you. Out of the 100’s, if not 1000’s of methods you see every day in your email inbox guaranteeing your leads and traffic to your site, I know of twelve, yes, just twelve, that actually work. Over the next few weeks, I will be going through these twelve lead generation methods on the Blog, one by one
Offline lead generation is also a great way to expose people to your Primary Internet Marketing Business. I will be going through several great ways to do this. Now, let’s talk other income opportunities. As I am building my Primary Internet Marketing Business (ok, click here if you want to see what I do for my Primary Business) I always look at other streams of income. There are a few really good one out there that can help fund the advertising costs of your Internet Marketing Business and put some quick cash in your pocket. I will be exposing these opportunities (only the one that actually make me money) to you also.
OK, let begin. Bookmark this Blog and check back often. Rod Larrivee

Great question, well here is the answer. I was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1964 to my proud (well I hope so) Parents. I am the baby in the family with 2 siblings. I had a great time growing up with a loving family, and hard working parents providing me with all my needs and many of my wants. I was taught at a very young age, that nothing in life is free and you have to work hard for what you want. So I worked hard in school, worked at a job since I was 15, graduated high school then attended collage and graduated as a Certified Engineering Technologist in 1985.
Well, I had made it . . .so I thought. I went to work for an engineering company, got my own place, bought a new car, and began really hating my life. Why . . .I was a slave to another man and a company, working my but off to make some else rich. This lasted 3 years, and I had had enough. I was then 25 years old, and realized I wanted to be my own boss and control my own future. So I started in the traditional business world as a Sales Representative for a few years, and then joined a wholesale/retail company as a partner. For the next 15 years, our company grew moving us from Regina, to Vancouver, BC, expanding from a small office, to offices, warehousing and factories in China, several warehouses and offices in Canada and the USA, and dozens of retail locations throughout Canada and the USA. You would think I would be happy now . . . well guess again. Business was tough, competition was cut-throat, I was working 80 – 90 hours a week, providing a crappy product and crappy service to our customers. This was not the legacy I wanted to leave behind. Partner problems also did not help. So in March 2006, I said enough, and let me partners know I was out, and gave them 2 months notice. Now I was concerned. I had about 6 months to figure something out, and replace what was a very nice income and the life style I was used to. I have always been kind of a computer geek J, and had seen so many emails of how people made money and a living online. I had dabbled on eBay somewhat, but that was the extent of my knowledge on internet marketing. I sat at my computer for hours on end, searching and searching business opportunities, but I really wanted to talk to someone, to see if this making a living online was really real.
I came across a nice looking professions site, marketingtips.com and saw their office was located in Vancouver, so I picked up the phone, dialed the number and asked for some guy named Derek Gehl. (Little did I know that I was about to talk to one of the most successful internet marketers in the world) Well Derek came on the phone and we talked, for almost 30 minutes, about me, and what I was looking for. He did not try to sell me his product, but told me the basics of what I had to do to be successful online. He pointed out that I need to develop a list, get an autoresponder, and check out every opportunity I look at thoroughly. It was an exciting call, and that day was the start on my internet marketing venture. A few days later I joined an organization, PayItForward4Profits , which today has over 200,000 members, and provides training and support for all network marketers. Currently I have one of the largest PIF4P businesses and help out on the admin side and provide live training calls, and Success Guide Updates. A few months later I found my Primary Internet Marketing Company , a company I can be proud of, providing excellent products and excellent service. I will tell you more about this company in future posts. Well, I have had success online, and the last 2 years have been a fun ride. No, I did not have to back to working for someone else. I make a great living from home, being my own boss, and the feeling of helping others achieve this, is wonderful. Making a living online is not been easy, but it became very possible with the right system, training and support. I spend my days now helping others make money online, teaching, and training. This is a great business, when you are rewarded for helping others succeed.
