This is my third post in the VitalViral thread, and I guess, there will be more.

I’m genuinely ¬†amazed at the speed and effectiveness the VitalViral creator and owner Troy Wrey is developing and introducing new features and tools. Every time I log in I see something new. There is a new guide that could be used also as a report for VitalViral promotion, and if you can devote 10-15 minutes of your time to get an insight on the workings of the program, here is the link:

I’ve been also working and produced what I consider a pretty good autoresponder series for VitalViral promotion. The first “capture” page for this campaign is called “Where Is The Money“. I’d appreciate your comments. CLICK HERE to see!

Please check out the bar at the top - this is an example of VitalViral “mixed campaign” with a tracking bar.

To receive¬† several letters, explaining different features and benefits of VitalViral and also some “fatal” mistakes to avoid, just enter your name and email there. I’m explaining Tracking bar and mixed campaigns in detail there. I will also send you an amazing “Super Tip” - for free!

The autoresponder I use is (of course) TrafficWave. It works really well - and not only delivering my messages, but also paying me - and my TrafficWave commissions grow from month to month.

Only about a week passed since my first post on VitalViral and Troy Wray already introduced so many improvements and updates, it’s mind boggling!

The main innovation, “mixed campains”, using a tracking bar to promote VitalViral itself together with up to three programs of your own, keeps getting better and better daily.

I’d advise you to join just to see what is going on. I promise, you will be impressed. I already created seven new pages, promoting some of my programs (Global Domains, TrafficWave, LeadGusher, PyraBang, etc.) along with VitalViral itself and started testing them in Traffic Exchanges, List Builders and in Social Networks. Results are even better than I anticipated.

Here is an example: http://azsystems.net/t/m/link.php?tid=114

Link on the left in the bar¬† takes you to VitalViral Bar page, the banner in the middle is for PyraBang, the link on the right is for LeadGusher. The main “real estate” is taken by Traffic Exchange Profits splash page, a new one is displayed every time the page is opened or reloaded.

As I already said - it makes sense to join just to see what is going on - and there is a lot of incredible features there!

I never posted before anything regarding VitalViral, although I consider it one of the best list building programs around. Probably it is just the best - check it out yourself.

Unfortunately, just when I was about to write a post about VitalViral, this program site went down - for no fault of its management - for more than a month. This was a very upsetting for me: not only I like the program and used it to my satisfaction, but I also wanted to include it into my own Affordable Wealth system as one of the main traffic and lead generation tools - and had to drop this idea (until now).

I’m happy again - VitalViral is back, all the features and benefits are still there, but there are also very important, exciting and unique additions.

Here is one of the VitalViral main pages (it remains pretty much unchanged):

http://vitalviralpro.com/u/alzoub/?sid=0&mid=2

VitalViral generates traffic and leads for your main business by building overlapping downlines in the best traffic exchanges, best list builders and your main programs, all at once. In that it is similar to some other downline builders on the Internet, but… I’ve joined and evaluated practically all of them and I’m definitely sticking with VitalViral!

Especially because VitalViral now has a new feature called “mixed campaign” that is absolutely unique and will give you immediate advantage compared to other builders!

It allows you to promote your own business and your VitalViral link at the same time - and promote more of your programs alongside, using a unique tracking bar.

Just look at what it can do:

• It promotes your business and builds downlines in your traffic exchanges and list builders automatically
• Unique: It tracks an action link on the page you’re promoting without you needing to create tracking links and EVEN if the link is on a page you don’t own! There is no other way to do this!!
• Can track submissions to a form on the page you’re promotin.
• Allows you to compare the performance of the same page across different traffic exchanges or lists.
• Allows you to force the main link to open in a new window even if that wasn’t how the page was designed.

Here is a new page that advertises this unique “tracking bar” that¬† promotes and tracks any site together with your VitalViral page and¬† two more links:

http://vitalviralpro.com/u/alzoub/?sid=0&mid=3

And here are some samples of the pages that promote my GDI splash page. Note a VitalViral tracking bar at the top.

http://vitalviralpro.com/m/1135
http://vitalviralpro.com/m/2005

The link to the left is set to take to the VitalViral page.
The banner in the middle could be your choice.
The link to the right is also your choice.

And, of course, the main page could be any you’d like to promote. Your choice.

So, get to action, get started today. There is much to explore, much to gain and nothing to lose - well. unless you don’t follow the links - then you’ll miss quite a lot!

Some time ago I wrote two posts on so called One Time Offer (OTO), where I questioned the benefits of this widely used method of squeezing more money out of the customer.

Here are these two posts in order they’ve been published:

A Beast Called ‚OTO (One Time Offer)
Taming The OTO Beast (One Time Offer)

I’d really appreciate if you read these posts, and even more - if you leave your comment (there or here).

Mike Filsame, an extremely successful Internet entrepreneur and guru, always used OTO’s in his sales campaigns. He is a great marketer, he makes enormous amounts of money, but I humbly admit that sometimes I thought that his methods were too pushy.

May be it’s one of the reasons that he makes so much more money than I do (I’m not complaining).

One of the methods I really didn’t like was an extensive use of one time offers.

That is why I was very pleasantly surprised when I came across a short¬† interview with Mike Filsame where he plainly states that, although one time offers can bring more money immediately after the original offer, in the long term you can lose the customers that could be annoyed by OTO’s.

He still thinks (and I agree) that the offers could (and sometimes should) be combined together, but crude headlines like “Stop! You will see this page only once” should be avoided.

In short, you can make an extra sale it One Time Offer, but you could repel many returning customers and lose the money! I have to say, that I often was the customer that was so disturbed by multiple OTO’s, that I got off many lists and became this “lost” customer for many marketers.

Filsame’s idea is, that instead of immense pressure of OTO, more subtle and non-threatening offers work much better for him. The offers, following the original one should look like a nice and useful addition. He calls it an upsell method.

Bravo, Mike Filsame! Sorry, I don’t give the link to the interview here, I still haven’t signed for his offer.

Meanwhile, here is by far the best lead generation tool I use right now:

Is recession already negatively affecting your business?

It shouldn’t, and if you are a¬†true Internet Network Marketer, your business should prosper!

It is true that people tend to spend less during hard times - compared to sometimes overspending during an economic boon. Consumer spending decreases during troubled times and people become more aware and conscious of their spending habits. They are worried about their future. They grow concerned about their job security, their 401k dwindling, stock market losses and devaluation of their homes.

At the same time their desire to make money becomes more like a necessity to add to or replace their lost income. They realize that their paid jobs don’t provide any security anymore.They can get fired at any time and there¬† are less and less available jobs. So many of them start¬† searching for¬† alternative sources of income.

So, it isn’t surprising at all that Network Marketing has always had exceptional growth during difficult¬†economic times, recessions and depressions. Network Marketing (MLM) is not about spending and retail sales, it is¬† about additional or secondary income.

Shaklee, Amway, Mary Kay, Herbalife and many other wildly successful MLM companies started in times of economic declines. It happened exactly because when recessions hit, people begin to look for alternative sources of income.

We are now in much better situation than the “opportunity seekers” had in old times. We have Internet that completely changed the way we communicate. Network Marketing is now the easiest and most affordable way to create an income on the Internet. The right Internet opportunity offers a money-making solution with a minimal investment of money and effort, it should provide training, support and growth potential right from the start. In addition, you’re able to conduct your business on your computer, staying home with your family.

We are facing a World-wide recession now an your best way to take your financial future now is to get involved with a good Network Marketing company.

And here is an additional strong argument: by working your MLM program you will be helping many other people in the same situation.

Here is my previous post on Network Marketing.

The opportunity I highly recommend, the company that is already paying my bills and some, is Global Domain International. Only $10 per month and enormous potential that is already realized for thousands upon thousands of members!

One of my previous posts was about a great free lead generation program Lead Gusher that was designed by a successful, well known Internet marketer Bram Smith. It is already bringing me up to a dozen of fresh leads a day!

Well, it wasn’t too long before Bram Smith and his partner Ryan Wade came with another brilliant idea, and it is also completely free!

It is called MySocialURL, and it’s tied into LeadGusher to help maximize your results AND commissions.

It is really worth it to join it right now - what are you to lose?

It is kind of like multi-tasking. With the same amount of effort, you are promoting your business as usual, but you are also making new contacts, and as a byproduct — many of your visitors may also choose to setup an account on MySocialURL.com with YOU as their referrer.

Once you have your social media site usernames entered (which you may have already done when creating your account), then you can use your MySocialURL home page in place of your normal URL for a business you are promoting.

So, you get a new lead for your business, AND, if they purchase our one-time offer on the back end, you earn $20 cash through PayPal. It cannot get any easier and commissions are paid within 48 hours of when you make a sale!

And it’s already working for me and several of my downliners.

I’ve been a free member of ¬†Affiliate Funnel for quite a while, but, for some strange reason, never promoted it before.

I had another look at it lately and became really sorry that I haven’t taken some time to explore it better earlier.

Now I know that Affiliate Funnel is one of the best (if not the best) Downline Builders out there.

The slogan of Affiliate Funnel is “Build your business, not someone else’s“. This is  the whole reason I feel that you should be using it.  Affiliate Funnel is designed to build your business, not just a downline, like most other downline builders.

There are many features that place AF above other similar programs. One of the benefits is that it is a real college of Internet marketing. Firstly, you get  The Ultimate Guide To Affiliate Funnel that really helps to start.

Then there is a Lessons section that is the introduction to all tools you will be using to promote your business. Don’t miss the link to forum and conference calls.

And there is an Affiliate Toolbox section - banners, emails, signature, articles, splash and capture pages - everything ready to use.

And - there is so much more, it would be easier for you just to join for free and check it all out yourself. It is actually a very enjoyable process! Just don’t pay any attention to any paid options you encounter on the way.

You will see that Affiliate Funnel uses Trafic Exchanges and Safe Lists/List Builders to promote your business and, at the same time, builds you downlines in all of them. That’s true Viral marketing.

Thre is a little “catch”. Free members have access to all the tools, but are restricted to promoting only one program of their own. You are permitted 3 programs for $5.97 a month and 6 programs for $9.97 a month.

As I said, I was a free member for some time, but now I’m a Gold member and promote 6 programs. Here is the page that lists all 6 of my programs:

http://www.affiliatefunnel.com/ymp/alzoub

Now, here is a little more of the good thing. If you use Traffic Exchanges, then you probably know that you can’t accumulate enogh credits by surfing and clicking alone. You need to build downlines in them.

There are many programs that help doownline building in Traffic exchanges. None of them, without exception, have the training, the multitude of tools and promotional resources like Affiliate Funnel. None are better in generating credits in TEs. I know, I joined several of them when I was trying to decide which one to make my main promotional vehicle.

Affiliate Funnel won by a large margin!

Two weeks ago I’ve posted an announcement about a new lead generating tool from Bram Smith - Lead Gusher (click to see the post).

This very short post is just to tell you, that after 2 weeks of using this amazing innovative tool, I can say with conviction: It Works!

And, as I already said, it doesn’t require any maintenance - you set it once and it starts working - producing leads for you.

To understand the principle, go to this page: http://www.leadgusher.com/r/alzoub/homepage.html, enter your name and email and then watch Bram Smith explaining his idea in details.

Something not to miss.

It is working - and it is FREE!

I rarely get excited about new offers, new programs and opportunities. Excitement is a good force of progress in all areas, but pretty often it can get you into the situations that you’d regret getting into later.

Well, the other day I’ve let myself to be excited.. and even envious. Bram Smith just came up with an amazing, brilliant idea - and I’m getting hard on myself for not thinking of it first.

I’m absolutely sure it will work great, although we don’t have any results in yet - the program , called Lead Gusher,¬† is only a few days old!

There is absolutely no risk involved - the program is absolutely free, it even doesn’t require any maintenance. You just sign up, get your page created, and this page starts to bring you traffic and prospects on auto-pilot!

You can use Lead Gusher to promote any program of your choice and it won’t cost you a cent!

It fits perfectly with my principle of Affordable Wealth!

Get more information: http://www.LeadGusher.com/r/alzoub/homepage.html

After entering your name and email you will be redirected to a video tour. Take your time to watch it and bookmark the page, you may need to return to it later.

From there you get to a sign-up page, Bram will guide you through this very simple process. You get your page immediately. If you made a mistake, or just would like to improve something, you will be provided with an update link.

Here (just for an example) is my “traffic attraction” page:

I’m very happy that I came across this great post by Bob Jenkins!

It has a lot of very useful advice on how to deal with tons of offers we get every day by email, how to shift through them, and how to deal with the information overload, how to be able to resist joining and buying, joining and buying - and instead to concentrate on one thing at a time.

It made me stop… and think… and start developing a plan of action. Check it out, this post benefits everybody who wants to make money on the Internet.
