Program Review: Viral Networks Offers Web 2.0 for Internet Marketers

There have been a lot of new programs hit the Internet in the last month or two and it can be quite difficult to decide what's good and what isn't.

One of my online business partners, Colin Klinkert recently released a new Social Network for Internet Marketers called Viral Networks.

Viral Networks is a well thought out system that takes advantage of Web 2.0 Technology to offer Internet Marketers a place to 'network', a place to advertise and a place to make money.

And the best part of Viral Networks, at least for me, is the list building aspect. As an upgraded member, you can email 3000 random members every 3 days. Consider who you are emailing here .... other network marketers!

Here is a highlight of some of the main features of Viral Networks:

As a member of Viral Networks, you can:
  • network with other contacts in the same industry as you (this is VITAL for success).
  • build a Hyper Viral message board list through the addition of their awesome list builder.
  • build a downline down 5 levels and contact them via messageboard.
  • be rewarded with 10% of the credits earned from everyone in your downline!
  • earn in the revenue sharing pool based on credits earned
Bottom line, just from being an active user, ViralNetworks will share their revenue with you!

Steps to get started at Viral Networks:

1. Join Viral Networks: http://viralnetworks.com/a/36
If at all possible, upgrade in Viral Networks.

2. Setup your Profile: Login to Viral Networks. Click on the Dashboard link then access My Profile.

It's important the you setup your profile completely and be certain to upload a photo. You cannot expect to network with other Networkers if you don't have a picture of yourself in your profile. Success in networking online is all about becoming a real person online.

3. Create a Group: Create a group regarding a topic of interest to you. If you are focused on marketind Earth Friendly Biz, then you could create a group about Prospecting with Systems, or Following a proven system. Creating a group will attract people to find you and earn you credits in the system.

4. Connect with other members: Now that your profile is setup, you are ready to connect with other Viral Networkers. Click on the Community tab, visit the profiles of other members and begin connecting. Add people of interest to your list in Viral Networks.

5. Visit the Forum and start posting: The best wsay to connect with others is to become involved. Visit the Forum and find posts of interest to you and participate.

6. Tell others about Viral Networks: Use the Viral Networks Promotion system. They truly make it easy for you to share Viral Networks with others by offering your simple tools and resources to advertise your website. From your Dashboard, select the Promotion Tools section. You will find different sections that offer several different ways to advertise your site. You will also find helpful training videos showing you how to use the services.

Spend some time going through the system, it will be worth your time to undestand how Viral Networks works so that you can take best advantage of the system.

You are going to be invited by other members to join their list and to network with them. This is a very active community and the more active you are the more credits you will earn and the more people you will connect with.

It's in connecting with those people that you will find business leaders for your business.

Remember, networking is all about relationships. Spend some time getting to know some people.

Enjoy Viral Networks ... it gets our "Seal of Approval" for recommended list building resources.

Product Review: Message Magic Makes Relationship Marketing Simple

Wow, we are well into 2009 already and as I expected, the year is starting out with huge momentum.

I noticed a lot of new advertising and traffic programs coming out and after careful consideration, I decided to begin writing reviews on my top pics.

Here is a short list of programs that I will begin reviewing (not necessarily in this order) over the coming weeks:

Message Magic
ViralNetworks
MyViralSurfer
ViralNugget
TopTierTraffic
OrangeLeads
ScreenSwarm
WebBizInsider
ViralUrl
FreeTrafficBar
ListJoe
TheListAuction
AdlandPro
ListJumper
TrafficSwarm
Rent-a-List
AdvertisingKnowHow
MyEasySubmitting
EliteMarketing
GlobalDomainsInternational
TrafficOasis

My first review is on Message Magic, an add-on program for Skype users.

This unique program allows you to plug in and connect with all Skype users.

WARNING: It is important that you follow the guidelines with Message Magic. The last thing you need is to receive complaints from Skype users. When used the right way, Message Magic can be an extraordinary tool to connect you with the right people for your business.

When I first came across Message Magic, I will admit that I did not see the potential with this program. It was simply a matter of giving it the time it needed to understand how it works. Like any program, you must understand how it works in order to use it effectively.

What is Message Magic?

Message Magic is a program that you download to your computer. When you run this program, you are able to look for skype users based an many different criteria. There is a fantastic manual in the members area that shows you exactly how to use Message Magic.

You can join Message Magic and try it for free for 7 days.

It's really very simple. You can select Skype users based on key words and then send a message to the users that the system locates. You can choose to only send a message to those Skype users who are online or to all that are found.

The Message Magic training is very thorough and they take the simple permission based approach that is commonly used online. The same approach I have been teaching for over 9 years.

When you do your search and the system lists the Skype users for you to contact, it is recommended that you send an "invitation" type email.

Example:

Hello (name),

My name is Janet Legere and I am see
that you are user of Skype and interested
in Networking.

I am looking to connect with other Networkers
who are interested in going green and taking
advantage of this trend to make money.

I invite you to add me to your Skype contact
list and look forward to connecting soon.

Have a great day,

I found the advanced training guide in the members area to be very helpful and to be honest ... you don't need to be an advanced user to understand it and use it.

My Skype contact list has grown to over 1500 members in a very short time. I am connected to many industry leaders as well as many very ordinary people just like you and me.

If you are looking to network with more people so that you can find the right people, then message magic is a program you want to use.

It is going to be a must have tool for 2009 ... and it will be a must have in my marketing portfolio!

You want to master the use of Message Magic today!
