How to start your business-Lesson 2

First of all I need to apologize!

First of all I need to apologize! It took me longer than a few
days to post this next lesson. David Cheyne referred me to an
AWESOME tool and I never expected the results that I recieved. I
have been swamped to say the least, anyway



You have made your website or affiliate gateway or url, and if
you don't and you want the easy way, visit STARTURFUTURE
- you will get 6 automated income streams with your own domain
already set up. You will also get many freebies you won't see
elsewhere (see below)



Now you need to generate traffic. There are many ways to develop
traffic, and I can't list them all now, however I will list many.
I will list the ones that have been most beneficial to me in a
short time.

1- traffic exchanges (manual)

This is the fastest way to develop website traffic, IF used
correctly. The only way to use them properly is with a squeeze
page. Sure, you can use a web page on traffic exchanges but you
will wonder why the exchanges aren't working for you. Also you
need to surf at least 1 hour a day. I surf at least 2 hours
daily. My wife does this for me and then as I get my work done,
usually 2:00 a.m., I will surf as well. Here lately I have been
able to have to surf as much, but this is what I recommend for
you.



2- blogs, guestbooks, and forums-

Find relevant blogs, guestbooks, and forums and post comments and
or questions. Place your link/url in them. Make sure your url is
in your signature. Do not spam! If you sign guestbooks, don't
just say hi and post your link. Look around at the sites, and
talk about something that helped you, or something you liked. I
will tell you a "secret" that everyone knows but not
everyone will apply it. "The quality you give out, is the
quality that you will receive" Think about that and apply
that to your business.

3-Auto surfs/safelists/ad link exchanges

I wont go into details about these because they are lessons all
in themselves. Just like anything else they will bring you
traffic. Just remember the "QUALITY" secret. The
'quality' secret applies to everything.

4-Video's-

Video's are a great traffic tool. If you don't have video's on
the net, you will get trampled by your competition! The web is
constantly growing! Are you growing with it? Video's are so easy
to make. Technology has made it so easy to make a video and
upload all over the web. You don't even have to have a camera.
You can make a slideshow with music or you talking. The
possibilities are endless. That tool that I was talking about
earlier, that David Cheyne referred me to-That is the tool I use
for submitting my video's to all of the sites automatically!more

5-Get links

link to other sites that are relevant and get links back to you.
There is software for this or you can manually do this but it is
very time consuming. I use IBP because this program does
everything. It optimizes your site. Then you can run an
optimization test-this scans your site and tells you everything
you need to do to optimize, also this will give you a percentage
of how close you are to full optimization. This tool will
increase your links and create a link directory on your site for
you. more info TOP GOOGLE SPOT(click on this link to get a free scan)

6- Submit your blog,sites, and rss feeds

You can do this manually, but there is software to automate this
process. I am currently looking for a few blogs to link to on one
of my new sites, if interested-go here: ADD YOUR LINK

7-Submit Articles-

Write articles and submit them either manually or with Article
submission software. you write articles and at the bottom

write an about the author section that includes your url. Writing
articles isn't as hard as people make it to be.

You can write your articles on any thing you already know about
or do some research on a certain topic and then

write about it.



I tried to make this as short as I could while still providing
useful information. If you follow this guide, you will

have traffic soon. The next lesson will be on:

list building

social networking

safelists

Huh? 31.95% DON'T know what a "Squeeze Page" is?

Recently, James Grandstaff revealed something
that I found quite interesting…

If you’ve been around the IM (internet marketing) scene for awhile, you’ve most likely heard the term “squeeze page” before, right?
At least that’s what I thought.

Well, James surveyed approx. 500 people on his list who are interested in making money online. Many stated they were interested in affiliate marketing, product creation, MLM, etc…
One of the questions was “Do you know what a

“Squeeze Page” is?”

68.05% answered yes and 31.95% answered NO.

To be honest…
I was shocked that 31.95% said no.
What about you?
In light of this shocking survey data I decided to
write this post today to go over the very basics
of what a squeeze page is and why you should
be using them in your business (if you are not
already.)

And for those of you who already use them, pay
attention. You will probably learn something too.
Here goes…
A squeeze page which is also known as a “lead
capture page” or “name squeeze page” is a simple
web page with one purpose; to get your visitor
to give you their name and email address so you
can follow-up with them. That’s it.
One of the best ways to get someone to opt-in
to your squeeze page is by offering something
of high perceived value such as a mini ecourse
or a highly targeted eBook.
For example, let’s say you are promoting a multi-
level marketing business opportunity. The products
are great and you are a raving fan.
Most people would just start promoting the website
the company supplies. I say no. This is a perfect
opportunity to implement the use of a squeeze page and offer something of value first.
That way, you collect the leads, you follow-up with
an introduction of yourself and begin building a
long lasting business relationship.
In sales, what we are really selling is “us” first,
then the product.
You always want to provide value first. Once your
prospects warm up to you, then it’s time to ask the
right questions to determine if your product or
business opportunity can help solve their needs.
If you’d like to see a high quality, high converting
squeeze page that James has put together, you
can visit the link below.
It’s important to read the “thank you” page on the
other side you can get an idea of how the whole
process works.

Until next time…

Yours in success,
