I believe there is a lot of confusion online as to how to make money. Seriously, if it was so cut and dried wouldn't everyone be making money?
Are you making money? If you aren't making money yet, then you need to pay close attention to this post and follow it to a tee ... then, like my life coach, Devlyn Steele says "Lather, Rinse, Repeat". Do it again and again and again ... the secret to making money online is following a proven system.
So it got me thinking about my post for today. I'm going to share a plan with you that works ... it works for anyone and everyone who follows it.
Here's the plan ...
Step 1. Pick a prospecting system that is effective. There are many out there and many that are very top notch. Likely, your primary business offers a "lead capture" system and this is all you need to follow this plan. Our prospecting system of choice is Earth Friendly Biz where we teach a simple plan of action to drive traffic to your website and develop prospects for your business.
Earth Friendly Biz is a generic system that works for any business, any product, any service ... it is simple to follow and easy to understand and it's free. There is an upgrade available that offers a full auto-responder service complete with preset automated messages.
Signup for your account here: http://www.earthfriendlybiz.com
Average time to complete: 30 to 45 minutes
Step 2. Advertise your lead capture link. Picking a prospecting system is going to be a lot simpler than advertising your new link. Not that advertising is hard, there is just a lot of ways to advertise, more than we can comfortably discuss in one session.
For this weekend exercise, I am going to share a few of my very top picks for advertising resources. There are resources that I know will bring a lot of traffic to your system. If you use my Earth Friendly Biz site, your results are guaranteed. I say that in all confidence because my EFB members are duplicating my steps and duplicating my results.
WARNING: before proceeding with the following resources, please setup a special email address for these programs. Most of the resources that I will be recommending are "credit based" and you will be receiving several emails from each system every day. Free members of these resources earn credits for reading the emails. When they earn enough credits they can send an email to the list. These resources are highly effective in generating traffic to your website but only when you use them consistently. I recommend setting up a gmail account strictly for these resources. http://www.gmail.com
In my experience, the following are must have resources. If you are not using these resources, please join just one at a time, get it setup to send your ad and then move on to join another program.
Below, I am going to give you information about a few resources as well as how to get them setup and working properly. The key to all this is focusing just on using the resources. One must be cautious that one does not spend all ones time clicking links inside new programs. It's easy to do and likely everyone reading this is guilty of clicking links to other programs.
It's how people get lost and confused online.
My goal is to give you a process that you can follow that will get you setup and seeing results as quickly as possible. It is well worth your time to learn all this, what you learn today will be with you forever and become part of everything you do online.
Here is what we will cover in this exercise
- Signing up for and setting up MyViralSurfer
- Signing up for and setting up advertising resources
- Advertising your EarthFriendlyBiz Website
- Following up with new prospects and new members
If you want to grab a fresh cup of coffee or your favourite beverage, now would be a good time. Then come back and settle in to complete the following tasks beginning with Step 2, setting up MyViralSurfer.
Step 2a. MyViralSurfer - link tracker, list builder, viral marketer .... a very unique, must-have resource. Even as as free member, this system works great, however, this is one resource whose power increases as an upgraded member. Grab the one time offer ... you will be forever grateful that you did. For complete instructions on how to setup and use MyViralSurfer, visit my Blog Post here.
It is worth your time to take the time to setup and become familiar with MyViralSurfer. This resource will be used extensively throughout your daily marketing.
Average time to complete: 30 to 60 minutes
Ok, now we are going to move on to Step 3. where we will setup and use a few select advertising resources that I highly recommend every online marketer use.
We are going to setup and use the following Credit Based lists which work well for free and upgraded members alike. As with all the programs I use and recommend, I encourage you to take the upgrades whenever possible. As an upgraded member, your ads have a higher likelihood of being seen by other list members.
Before we begin with the setup, here is an ad that you can use with the resources we'll be joining. This ad is directed to EarthFriendlyBiz.

NOTES: You will replace http://nothingcomparesto.com/sykaro/EFB1 with your EFB affiliate link or your MyViralSurfer tracking link which you learned to do in Step 2 above.
Ok, now let's get started on the fun part ... advertising resources. The three programs below are all credit based programs and have all proven to be highly effective at getting visitors to your website.
ListJoe - this is, by far, one of the most dependable resources available online. Jonah's focus is making sure ListJoe stays that way. As an upgraded member, you can email 3000 random members every 3 days. This is a credit based mailer so free members earn credits for reading your emails and clicking your links and then spend those credits to send their emails .
Join List Joe here then follow the simple steps outlined on the main page when you login. Depending on your membership level, you will send the ad above to a random list of ListJoe members as often as your membership level permits. A Gold or Lifetime member can send email to 3000 random members of ListJoe every 3 days - that's a lot of traffic to your site.
Once setup with ListJoe, send the ad listed above.
Average Setup time: 30 to 45 minutes
List Auction - another very reliable and highly effective list, List Auction is also a credit based list. When I send to this list, I always get a surge of signups. They are quite an active group of readers, much like ListJoe.
Join List Auction here then login to your account and edit your profile. You can choose how many emails you receive each day. Just like ListJoe, you can send an email to the list based on the amount of credits you have earned and based on your membership level.
Once setup with List Auction, send the ad listed above.
Average time to complete: 30 to 45 minutes
AdTactics - this credit based safelist has been around quite some time and is a nice clean active list. It is much smaller than ListJoe and ListAuction but no less effective.
Join AdTactics here then login to your account and setup your email to send. This list is a bit different than the others and a great place to advertise.
Once setup with AdTactics, send the ad listed above.
Average time to complete: 30 to 45 minutes
NOTE: Once you have these three accounts setup, the time to send an ad will be cut down to about 5 minutes for each resource.
Total Setup time from 1.5 to 4.0 hours
Average time to click emails and earn credits: 30 minutes to 2 hours
Remember, you are going to use the ad above to send to each of these lists. If you upgrade in any of the resources, you will be able to send to the list immediately.
These are just three of many really great resources and a good place to start. Once you master using these three you will be ready to move on an add more resources.
The key here is to be consistent in your advertising. If you are allowed to email every 3 days, then make sure you are sending our your ads every three days. Remember, the members you are advertising to are random each time you send an email which means that someone new is seeing your ad each time you send it.
Step 5. Following up
If you are an upgraded member in Earth Friendly Biz with a Home Office Pro account, then your new prospects and new members are receiving our automated messages. If you are a free member, then you need to follow-up personally and make contact with your new prospects. We cover this in depth in our step by step training offered to all of our Earth Friendly Biz members.
My Challenge to You!
My challenge to you is to advertise your EarthFriendlyBiz link to as many resources as you can. If you are an active user of Traffic Exchanges, then make sure your EarthFriendlyBiz link is setup as the link that receives traffic.
The more visitors you get to your website the more prospects you will create. The more prospects you create the more members will join. The more members who join, the more money you will make ... it is really that simple.
Come back after you post your ads and let us know what kind of results you received.
Happy Marketing!
