THINGS THAT WORK A LITTLE BIT

In the world of free advertising there are things that work a little bit. I would not say that really anything works well. The truth is that if you want to pick up about one new recruit every one to three days, that you can do it if you use the techniques I am about to show you. But it will require about two hours or more of your time on a daily basis. And you will have to be consistent to profit from it. Further, you will have to do things MY way. Otherwise you will fail.

There are really only two methods of free online advertising that work at all - safelists and click exchanges. But having said this, you must realize that 99% of both are no good. You have to choose the right ones. Further, you have to use them the way I tell you. By themselves they will not work.

SAFELISTS
You can spend about ten minutes daily posting to safelists. You should pick up one recruit every other day if you use the top twenty list at Traffic Hoopla. And you may pick up as many as one recruit per day if you use all of the lists given at SafeList Boyz combined, although this is a nightmare to set up. I don’t want to sell these to you by offering you my affiliate number for these programs. I want you to understand that they are simply the vehicles of choice when it comes to determining which safelists to use. Look them up on Google. Traffic Hoopla will lead you to the most effective lists. SafeList Boyz will lead you to the most popular ones and give you an automated method for posting to about a thousand different lists every day. The response rate is much lower than with the lists on Traffic Hoopla. But you post much more quickly using the SafeList Boyz manager, which is sold through PayPal for about $5/month. Do NOT use the SafeLists listed on SafeList Boyz by themselves. Allow two to three weeks for set up.

Now all of these lists are free but offer upgrade options. If you get results will it be worth it to upgrade? That depends on how much you value recruits. In every case you are targeting recruits. You use them to find opportunity seekers. That is because opportunity seekers are the people who use these lists. Or more accurately, people with opportunities and an appreciation for MLM. Between the SafeList Boyz subscription and upgrading your membership on ten safelists or more you can easily spend $100/month. The figures I gave you in the paragraph above assume you are remaining as a free member. Suffice it to say you could multiply your results if you upgrade. To me, time is money. So if you see you are getting results, you should consider upgrades.

CLICK EXCHANGES
Traffic Hoopla rates both safelists and click exchanges. A click exchange is a network of people who agree to view each other’s web sites. This is arranged through a “program.” The program is a server you log into. To move from one members’ web site to another you click - hence the name “click exchange.” Many exchanges will cheat you so that you do a lot of clicking but you don’t have other people looking at your site. Traffic Hoopla serves as a watch dog group among click exchange users by rating the reliability of the exchanges, as well as response rates.

SIMULTANEOUS USAGE
The problem with click exchanges and safelists is that everybody is interested in having their own advertisements seen. Nobody is really interested in seeing anybody else’s advertisements. For one thing, there wouldn’t be time to do so if they tried. As a result, response rates tend to be very low. On the other hand, a good safelist or exchange will offer safeguards, to be sure people really do look. Hence the ratings. But “good” is still really not very good. And if you don’t use an exchange the way I am about to tell you, then it won’t be good enough, even if you are using the very best ones.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A CLICK EXCHANGE?
A click exchange, hit exchange, surf4hits program - whatever you want to name it - usually has an offer that looks like this:

* You agree to visit web sites of other members who have joined the exchange
* You agree to look at their web sites for a specific period of time before moving on to the next member's web site in the exchange, usually 10-30 seconds.
* Other members of the exchange make the same agreement and agree to visit your web site in exchange for you visiting their web site.
* Most exchanges give you a two to one offer. In other words you will get one visit to your web site for every two visits you make to web sites of other members in the exchange.
* If you do the math you will see that this leaves them with a lot of spare visits. The administrators of the exchanges usually sell these extra visits to you and the other members. That is how they make their money.
* Some exchanges offer credits to you if you refer other members to the exchange. Most of these will give you one visit to your web site for every ten web sites your referrals visit
* Some exchanges offer indirect referral credits too, in a multi-level marketing fashion, except they're not splitting up commissions among several marketers, they are splitting up visit credits among several marketers.
* Often this is referred to as "viral" marketing. But don't let this word scare you. You will not get a disease. You are not spreading a virus. The word "viral" is a description of the way your free advertising can multiply. It multiplies as fast as a virus does, from person to person.

Or, at least, that is what the administrators of these exchanges would like you to think. The reality is a little bit different. The truth is that very few people continue to use click exchanges for very long because they soon encounter some harsh realities.
1. Nobody is using just one exchange at a time staring at any screen for 10-30 seconds except for the most naive kind of person
2. Everybody is deliberately clicking past every site they see on the exchange.
3. Nobody has any money to spend. They are out there trying to earn money.
4. They have fierce competition. Their own products or services are rarely unique and compelling to this ad-weary group of non-buyers.
5. The "I-give-up" factor kicks in for their downline and for them. They conclude that click exchanges don't work.

But they are wrong. Click exchanges work quite well. They just need to be controlled through a tool like the Launcher.

THE SCIENCE OF MULTITASKING
Let's start with item #1. Nobody is using just one exchange at a time staring at any screen for 10-30 seconds. In most cases the users of these exchanges join numerous exchanges and surf on several of them at once. Some have been known to click on as many as twenty five separate click exchange programs at the same time.

You see, the adminisrators of the exchanges are able to detect whether you are minimizing your screen, and they can program in features that will prevent you from setting up a macro that will make your mouse automatically click and fool their system into thinking you are using their exchange when you are not. They call these "anti-cheat" measures. But they have never been able to prevent people from surfing on more than one exchange simultaneously. Nor would they want to. That is because they know that if they prevented their members from opening up more surf exchange program windows from the competing exchanges that their members would just choose one of the other of hundreds of other click exchange programs to use instead. Without customers they would go out of business.

The fact that every click exchange user uses multiple exchanges simultaneously is just a dirty little secret in the industry. The Launcher takes an unabashed approach to all this. Why not systematize what is already taking place? The Launcher is designed to help you launch as many surf exchange windows as you want. We pick the best exchanges. You surf them. So just do the math. If you can surf ten exchanges at once and each exchange requires 30 seconds viewing time, and you click at a rate of one exchange every 3 seconds, then you will be gaining twenty credits per minute. If the average exchange offers you one visit to your web site for every two you visit, then you will be racking up ten visits per minute.

Like we said, "one highly targeted visitor to your web site for every six seconds of use." Please, note that this comes from your personal surfing habits. No downline is required. No recruiting. Just follow the instructions. You will get results. Make sense?

PAYING ATTENTION
There is only one problem. Although the people who use exchanges may be the right target group for your business and for the Launcher, they are not paying attention! This is a very real problem.

As a result, the actual conversion ratio we've been measuring for some of the sites we've been running with it is only 1:600. But lets just think a minute. Lets apply just a little bit more math.

The truth is that even with a conversion ratio of just 1:600 who visit your web site actually signing up, that if you are racking up ten visits per minute, that comes to 600 visits per hour. Therefore, you should be able to get one sign up per hour of use.

Please note that this is not just any sign up. It is a sign up of a very highly targeted, already partially trained, individual. And it is not just a visitor. It is a sign up.

Now suppose you were in a network marketing company and you were able to get eight sign ups per day. Would you consider that to be a success? Well, that is about what you could expect if you used the Launcher eight hours per day. No downline required. This result is strictly from personal use.

THE I-GIVE-UP FACTOR
Click exchange users tend to start out enthusiastic. They get all excited when they think about the huge downines that they are going to build in their click exchange programs. But then their downlines fail to duplicate and multiply their efforts. Doing their own surfing they get few results. They can't imagine their downline persevering either. They give up.

It is because every last one of them comes to this conclusion that the industry as a whole is a failure. But in the situation where a person can get one highly targeted visitor to their web site for every six seconds of use the "I-give-up" factor is largely eliminated. Don't be surprised when you see people who are in your Launcher downline suddenly start to produce both hits and recruits to each of the exchanges it lists. Ironically, the very fact that the Launcher requires no downline for success, makes it a more appealing tool for users, and that includes your Launcher downline. Therefore your Launcher downline grows.

FLOW THRU
The Launcher also provides a way for you to get free program sign ups through flow thru. A "program" sign up happens when someone in your Launcher downline joins one of the programs your Launcher lists. When you join a program on the Launcher and then add the link to your Launcher editor from your Main Member Page, this signals the Launcher system to provide your personal sponsor ID tag to the Join link of every Launcher page in your downline for that program. And if you sign up for every program on the Launcher, and provide all of your program IDs to your Launcher editor, then you will wind up with a "flow thru" of all of your links onto your Launcher downline's Launcher sites.

SYNERGY
The launcher that I use was designed by CRN. To join CRN is to join the Launcher. To join the Launcher is to join CRN. Yet, CRN and the Launcher are two totally separate entities and operations. CRN is a real estate investment club. The Launcher is a marketing tool. My recommendation is that even if you do not wish to be actively involved with CRN join it to make use of the launcher for promoting your other businesses online.

If you wish to synergies your effort please visit the link below and sign up for the launcher. You will also need to sign up for the CRN on the same page to update your links to the launcher.
