I was on the Saturday Affiliate Funnel conference. The Guest speaker Steve Ayling was Talking about the changes he done inside his TE’s. He is moving away from the bribe system in Traffic Exchanges – Crazy Surfing Contests and concentrates more on the Marketers. This has stirred up some feelings and created a debate.
This is a answer I was going to a post on a Blogpost on this topic…
Customers always comes first – period… (Basic common sense, even if this is far from the truth in reality). Many Owners do not even answer support tickets, pay out commission in time.
It’s about Focusing On The Surfers or The Marketers. How to get better results in Traffic Exchanges?
Surfers who wants to surf will surf 10 000 pages, 35 hours straight as long as they have that option somewhere.
Surfers who want to make 1cent/Hour surfing will continue do so.
Surfers who want to win contest, collect clocks, balloons, badges, team surf, surf for therapy will also continue do so.
Some Surfers Love to Interact and Chat (I remember when I was arguing with Mr. Olson and a few others about this in SWAT conference when StartXChange added their chat) They where against I was For. Why? Because I got gr8 results with it and Always Built my business this way using Skype, MSN and later Chats in TE’s. I’m a Social Guy…
Did you Notice Guys… Surfers, Surfers, Surfers…
The talk I was listening to, the conference with Steve Ayling was Focusing on The Marketers aspect not from the surfers eyes. Yeah I know many say they are both surfers and marketers… up to each person to label them self.
What do you as a marketer, advertiser want? (My viewpoint is for people who treat this as a business, extra income – Not a Hobby)
Results…Results…Results… Period
That was the Whole Point With the Talk… But as always people put them self first me me me… and have hard time seeing or listen with an open mind. So with this in hand… Back to the conferences… here is what been said… hint there is a recording…
1. The Ones who Chat when surfing gain from it!
2. Advertisers who are using Te’s this way. I watch your site you watch mine and mostly buy credits and not use the chat, get less results now compared to let say before the Chat boom, Surf for cents, Outrageous contests! (because the chat, contest and so on steal a part of what they paid for… 100% pageviews)
3. How do you create a better marketplace for the Advertisers, marketers who want to use a TE to get more sign ups, sales what ever, get better results from The Actually Page they added.
Answer: No Surf Contest’s where you win because you surf 35 hours straight, no chat, no Surf for cents, longer timer and a max daily surf limit. That was a few points.
4. That way Steve Will Focus more on getting other marketers interested in TE’s, target a much larger group outside TE Land.
5. Most Owners want to make more money and keep the Members active, have them upgrading, surf a lot, interact, use their programs, add ons and stuff of Course…
But – Do this increase the results for the Advertiser? (My tracking shows No – Big time No for my pages) I know Branding, people must see your pages 7 times and so on. But I want Both 
Direct Conversion and the more indirect, long term one.
—–
I see this a lot – people have problems to see, grasp the main topic. Steve asked us to widen out, open up our mind and see it from the Advertisers eyes not the surfers…
If you don’t do that, you don’t grasp what he was saying.
The main topic: Results…Results…Results…
Yeah getting results from The Main Thing a TE offer: I watch your page, you watch mine. I want my page seen, If have low credits I have to surf or buy credits to make that happen mindset. Not I surf for the tons of other reasons.
Of Course there are Rooms for Both sides… if You want the Hybrid/Combo TE – Chat – Social Interaction – Contests, You can have that. More and more now days.
I want to see more Of this…
Focus on delivery results for The Marketers who want results using the Actually Main Source: Advertise your Pages. This was what I heard in Steve Aylings Talk – nothing else.
I’m welcoming Steve’s Change of Focus. More Focus on the Results then mindless clicking. Why & How to use a Traffic Exchange? Hopefully this is the way to Better Results for the advertisers. You need Credits to be able to Show your page… Ah I need Credits … I either have to surf or buy credits to be able to use the Traffic Exchange…
See You start with what you want to advertise… That is the main reason you are Surfing. Not the other way around is Steve Aylings More Defined way of seeing this…
I prefer Pears over Apples – Does it mean I don’t Like Apples?
Last Thought…
There are tons of ways to interact… I use Skype, Skype groups, Msn, Google Talk, Yahoo, Facebook, Fan pages, My Blog, Conference rooms + many more… Even Te Chats lol…

- When start growing your list its time to set up your Your Autoresponder.
If you don’t use an autoresponder to manage your list, you are missing out on an easy way to communicate to your list. Services like AWeber, Listbuilder Direct and are just a few in this arena.
My choice for several years has been AWeber, they have a high delivery rate.
Costs can vary, depending on the size of your list. But the monthly cost can easily be negated by the profits you can make, marketing to your list. Inside your autoresponder you will have to set up your list, your landing page to capture leads, and how to insert the code onto your own website to gather sign-ups to your list. If you need help with this you can go to http://stefanbergs.com/how-2-videos/.
But most important is of course your Emails
Create Email Follow-ups
Once you get your sign-up, it is crucial to follow up. If you want to make money in list-building, this is an important step in the process. First you should write an introductory email – give your subscriber a new chance – a reminder to download your gift. In this case let’s say – your free special report.
Then, every 2-3 days, drip another email on the prospect. Let one of your emails be about you – let your subscribers get to know you a little bit better. That is a great way of connecting with your Readers. In the first 2 emails, offer some other free tools or reports that would be useful – it is important to establish a relationship of trust and caring.
People want to feel appreciated and don’t want to be sold right off the bat. You come off like a used car salesman if you do. Once you have provided freebies to your list in the first few emails, then you can start promoting products.
List Building Made Easier is for you – just download it and your on the go to build your own list bigger and better
Life rewards those who take action not those who take notes.

List building made Easier – part 1
- How many times have you heard “- The money is in the List?”
Probably endless of times…
No doubt, you receive emails from many email marketers about a variety of things – Why? Because you are on their list.
So, how do you effectively build a list? Where do you go to start building your own list? What do you need to do to begin list building? For many, the task is daunting and quite overwhelming. Yet the good news is, it is not as hard as many people think.
For a start – Identify Your Niche
Before you even think about starting on list building, you will need to identify your “niche.”
What is a niche, you ask? An area of specialty, that is specific and targeted.
To figure out your niche, decide on a topic that really interests you.
Are you a pet lover? – You could build a list around pets.
Do you enjoy motivational topics? – You could build a list around motivational speaking and books. Or perhaps you are a writer? – You could build a list around people interested in learning to become a writer.
Or maybe your already have your niche. Your website is up and running but you want to build your List bigger and better
The possibilities are literally endless. Today Im going to share one great effective way to grow your list even bigger.
Create a Short Report
With a special report – something that is useful to people – building your list is much easier. Your report should be focused on your niche, sharing thoughts, tips, and pointers that provide value to the reader.
The report will establish your credibility as an “expert” in this area, helping your readers decide to continue to follow you and your journey in Internet Marketing. The report need not be long – 20 to 30 pages should be more than enough. Add in illustrations, charts, tables and such, to help make for an easier read.
This will of course take some time and effort – but is well worth it. You don’t need to write the report from scratch. There are many ways – tips and tricks – you can use to create your report. If you don’t want to write your own report – use an PLR ebook or something similiar to offer.
This is one of many ways to start growing your own list – if you want to know more right now – head over here: http://listbuildingmadeeasier.com/

Listbuilding Can Be Really Easy If…
.. You have The Right Tools and Know How to Use them…
.. Listbuilding For Free With JV Events is a Very Powerful Tool and Works Great.
Listbuilding is one important strategy for internet marketers. It is the process of adding new subscribers to an email list. The term “adding” is not quite correct as you can not simply add new names and email address into your Autoresponder. People have to signup for your list on their own, that means they enter their name and email address into an autoresponder form that is located on your website.
People don’t give their name and email address away for nothing, you need to offer them an incentive. Most people give away ebooks, software or templates in return for people’s name and email address.
Once you have such a system in place you only need to drive traffic to your Squeeze Page, opt in page (the website where people signup to your list).
A very easy way to get people to your website and on your list is to contribute your free gift to a Giveaway Event. These are events where hundreds of internet marketers team up… they all give away free gifts to get new people on their email list. All these gifts are listed up on one website and all marketers promote this website. This way everybody gets more signups than they would get if they promote on their own.
You can also use this listbuilding strategy, the New Year Giveaway has just started. It’s Time to Team Up with the List Building Gurus… Signup and follow the instructions… it’s very simple.
Have fun!
From the Desk of Stefan Berg…
Today I would like to Introduce myself, tell my Story.
How I came to work with Internet marketing
Im A Swedish guy who moved from the Bitter cold of Sweden
to the Tropical Island Borneo – Malaysia with my Wife Catarina in the Spring 2009.
I’ve always been a Curious, adventurus guy and I love to Travel. I spent 3
month in Asia already back in 1991 and I have returned many times on vacation
since then until we finally moved here.
When I started out on the Internet in 2006 I was a Real Newbie!
I had no computer skills -There was no computer lessons in school, yeah I
know I was born back in the stone age…
I have worked as a Electrician for almost 22 Years. Lacking Health forced me
to Stop working. From a Well paid occupation and good Financial Standard
I suddenly had zero!
Of course that made me Extremly Frustrated and I turned to Internet to find
something I could do to earn my living. I Googled “Earning Money online”
– One of the first things that came up was Traffic Exchanges.
I had no Idea what it was but it said I could Earn Money. I started
Surfing for credits – joined a lot of Programs and of course I maid zero bucks…
My Journey to Become an Internet Marketer has been a lot of “Trial – and Error”
To make a short story of it I want to give you a Couple of Advice
what you should Avoid to do:
* ONLY Surfing for Credits in Traffic Exchanges – It´s Time Consuming and has Little To do with Marketing. Surf some but if you are going to use Traffic Exchanges – buy credits
That way you can spend your time on more important things then just traffic. Last thing, only use them for 2 things, brand yourself and build YOUR list. nothing else.
* Join ALL New Hot Programs – Try them out a few weeks then say it´s not working
Join a new program, doing the same over and over again. (Program Jumpers)
* Spend All your day in chatrooms and Different Forums
I have tried All of the Above with little or no success… You should
concentrate on things that can take you towards your goal – being a Marketer.
What concerned me over the Years is that it can be hard to Grasp the
Real meaning of being a Marketer. To Succeed You need to Understand
what It takes to be a Marketer – choose the Right Tools – and Use them Right.
I want to give you a Over All Picture. My goal is to make Things
User friendly. Even If you are totally new in Internet Business
you should be able to follow these simple steps.
To many people try to do to many things them self and get stuck in the tech Jungle
Instead of concentrate on what to sell, how to sell it. Try to outsource things
trade things or rent cheap professionals. I know it fun to learn many things,
like design and some programming. Ok no harm to learn some basisc, but don’t
let the tech stuff Stop you. You’ll grow much faster when you do the more
important things and let other ppl do what they are good at.
I Teach basic stuff, how to set up your Blog, your Autoresponder –
and so on… When that is set You’ll grow much faster.
Throughout the years I learnt some Really Important
Lessons I want to Share with you
Here Is 7 Valuable Tips how to Take your Business to the Next level
- Brand You – Always Use your Name and Picture! Let people see who You are!
Build up a Reputation of being a Serious Internet marketer by providing things
people Need. Give them A Solution to their problems. Write Articles – Do Videos
– Create your own Blog.
- Build Your OWN list I can´t stress this enough. Either you own a program
– you are an affiliate – your blogging or something else – you need your own list.
- Use Social Media Use Facebook – Twitter – Networking Forums and comment
on others blogs. One word of warning though – don´t Spam people!
Don´t send people your affiliate link or such and just ask them to join your
program. That will only put people off! Social Media is A Powerful Tool – when
you use it Right
- Give – when you do – people will give back to you. Share your
Experience – Your Tips and Tricks.
- Set Up Your System – 3 Must Have Tools in Business – Autoresponder – Hosting
and Tracking. Without them you will get No where. After that – Get a Squeeze page.
- Stand By your Word – This combines with Brand You – Your Reputation
Is depending on If you are a person to be trusted.
- Mindset – Last but not less Important! Train yourself Daily to get the Mindset
of a Entrepreneur
Why am I sharing All this with you?
I learnt the Hard Way – By Trial and Error – I want YOU to get a Better
Start then I did
I Love helping people and find it very Inspiring to meet new people!
I think it´s important with Business relationships and to get to know the
person behind the computer screen
I´m very Thankful to Those Serious Passionated Marketers I have met
who Shared their Experience and knowledge – they gave of their time
and answered All my questions
I have learnt a lot! Now it´s time for Payback.
I’m Not saying It’s going to be an Easy Ride. But it´s Possible – it can
be a Reality for you too!
For my part one of my challenges has been to learn English! When I started
out on Internet I was a struggling. Since moving to Borneo I improved a lot.
Lesson: Don´t give Up – Be Determined – Use a Daily schedule
to reach your goal! If you – just like in any occupation whether its Online or
Offline – Invest your Time – Money – and hard work – you are on your way
to Success - Start doing it Right from the Beginning!
Best Regards

Do You use Viral Listbuilders – Safelists?
There are different opinions about List Builder, should you use them or not in your Marketing? Some people will tell you, that you won´t get any results because no one is reading your emails. Other says it´s a great tool and uses them a lot.
I would say it depends on How you are using the List Builder.
I see them as a part of my overall marketing strategy. I get good results from them.
I’m going to tell you why
Safelists had a great impact and you could grow your list very fast and sell tons of stuff with them when they where new (5 years ago). The effectiveness did gradually went down and a few years ago they was almost dead. Too many software’s, techniques and way too many bad safelist out there on the market. No one where reading the email you sent because they were sent to email boxes no one used. There was no reason to read them. Something needed to be done, some changes was necessary.
Why should people read, open and watch the pages you´re promoting?
The Answer is Credits. Transform the unresponsive Safelists to a responsive, money making machine – listbuilders. That´s just what happened. Now when a Safe List or List builder open they are credit based.
The focus is more on the actually Opt in page then the email it self. To be able to send emails you have to open email to get credits – or you can buy or Upgrade. It’s a simple solution, but it works like a charm.
Your challenge is still to stand out from the crowd, be unique. A lot of the emails sent is really Bad and goes directly into the drain. Your job is to make – or have someone doing it for you – “A kick butt Opt in page”. If you come up with Headlines that catch peoples attention you can get them to take action and sign up to your list. I give more tips and tricks how to write great emails in my Email marketing series – http://stefanbergs.com/how-2-write-emails
You have to consider the time you spend clicking on email to get credits. I usually try out a couple ones (yeah there are bunch to choose from) and upgrade in those a get best results from to save time.
As you can see, things have changed. It’s not impossible to get good results from a List builder. List builders might not be your only tool or even your main advertising tool, but they are a very good listbuilding source.
In my opinion you should not exclude it from your advertising.
My Spotlight of the week is THE LEAD MAGNET
