Your Attitude + Your Choices = Your Life

It’s funny how things happen in the day that lead you in a different direction and this is one of them as I know I needed to do a blog post here.  I commented on another blog and decided to expand more as this sure does sum things up YOUR ATTITUDE + YOUR CHOICES = YOUR LIFE

Now you should go back and reread that and really think about it as I remember one of the first things that I was told when I got divorced and thought my world fell apart.  A friend told me this

That has stuck with me over the years and when things don’t go the way that I think they should I remember this quote.  This not only goes for your personal life but also for your business.

Things are never going to be perfect, things are never going to go the way that YOU think they should go but you stay focused, stay positive and try ONE more time – you just might find what you have been looking for.

How to Stay Organized With Your Traffic Exchanges

Posted on by

computercatHere is another one of those questions that I get asked over and over – most that know me also know that I belong to many traffic exchanges (TEs) and I’m going to let the secret out on how to stay organized with your traffic exchanges.

If you have joined many TEs like I have, you have tried spreadsheets, bookmarks and Speed Dial just to name a few I tried to stay organized.  Well did you know there is a site (tool I call it) out there that will show you how many unassigned credits you have at your sites, how many assigned credits you have without logging into all the sites you are a member of.

Now before I let the secret out of the bag let me tell you what else this ONE site/tool does for me.  It also tells me how many banner impressions I have assigned and unassigned.  Yea, it will tell you how many text impressions assigned and unassigned.  Pretty cool, huh?  No more chasing around to the sites to find out – now couldn’t you benefit from a site/tool like this.

fatcatmoneyWell I haven’t told you the best part yet – do you know how much you have earned in commissions on all the TEs you are a member of without chasing around again to see – well  for years I sure didn’t but now I know and I know it by signing into this ONE site/tool.  This site/tool also tells me the payout amounts for each site I have added and yea you can even login from this site/tool (once you have it set up) and do what you need to do. (assign credits, banner impressions, text impressions and even put in a payout request if that is required)

Wouldn’t a site/tool like this be a dream come true and save you soooooooo much time – you can see where you need to surf, where you need assign credits, where you need to request your commissions or know where you NEED to surf all from ONE site/tool.  Ok this site/tool is call TE Command Post.

Shocked you huh?  I know, it did me years ago when I first joined and I know like you – I never took the time to really look the site over as I was too busy chasing around trying to keep up with all the TEs that I was a member of.  One of my BIGGEST MISTAKES!

Now I know most of you surfers know about Commando Surf and the benefits of TECP for that reason but NOW you know the rest of the story.  Believe me it is worth taking the time to sign in and add the TEs referral id and your login info.  Just simply login and click on Traffic Exchanges – you can either start on page one OR just type in the TE that you want to add.  Do you have to join them all – the answer is know – just add the one that you are already a member of – that is the best starting point.

tecp banner

One more tip as there are lot of TEs listed and to narrow the ones down on the pages – on the first page look for this Only show traffic exchanges where I don’t have my referral ID entered.  There is a checkbox by it – you should check that and then the sites that you have entered will not keep showing – AGAIN another awesome benefit of this site/tool.

Ok now you know How to Stay Organized With Your Traffic Exchanges – look forward to seeing you in my downline and if you have any questions just message me.

Are You A Doer?

doer3So many people ask me all the time how can I do so much in a day, week, etc. and it’s because of a class that I took years ago and the ONE thing that I learned from that class is this quote  “Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”
Benjamin Franklin

With that in mind, are you a doer?
You might thing you are as for years, I thought I was too and then I realized that I kept putting off things, started making a list of things to do, and as I have gotten older even started thinking I’ll do it tomorrow and then CRS the next day because my brain forgot where it stored all that info – thus why the to do list lol.

When I first started working online, I had to train myself to “just do it” and not put things off otherwise they are not going to get done.  It’s so easy to stop what you are doing and maybe yak on a chat platform or while you are surfing – join a new site and get sidetracked.

Now are you a doer?  When you get a chat notice, do you stop what you are doing and answer it or do you stay focused on what you were doing.
Do you join a new site, click the verification email and never set it up or even forget that you join this new site.  This is just a few examples of things I hear and have dealt with.

horseblinders2Well, this is just my opinion sometimes I feel that I have to put on blinders (you know the kind that they put on horses so that they stay focused – well some days you just have to put YOUR blinders on and stay focused.  This is how I get done what I get done – when I have something that I want or needs to get done then I grab my blinders and just get yer done.

So think about that the next time that your chat notification light goes off – stay focused and be a doer – finish doing what you were doing and then mark it off your list of things to do before answering your message.

The next time that you sign up for a new site – finish the job – read the terms, get your downline builder filled in (ohhhhhh don’t whine – just do it – the day that you get 10 – 15 referrals in a row – you will thank me and yes  that does happen) then get your ads set up, your banners set up, your text set up, your profile set up, click the buttons on the site – you will be amazed at what you can learn if your just be a doer and READ about the site that you just join offers.

When you go to a new store or gift shop – you look around, check out all the things that they offer before making a decision to buy something, use that store or gift shop, or tell anyone else about what you found – these sites that you join should be no different.

Another thing that I have also learned that has help me be a doer is a daily schedule – no I’m not saying at 9AM  – I do this and at 10AM I do that – I’m saying a daily list of things that YOU need to do run your business and this will vary with each person.

Yea I know what you are thinking but I’m not a site owner so this don’t apply to me – you are wrong – if you are thinking this way then you need to go backtrack and think about “your why”

why2Well looks like I need to stop this post as I gave you enough to ponder here – I do think that after you think about it you will know the answer to this blog post …are you a doer

5 Things That Motivate Me

Posted on by

So often I get asked How do I put in all the hours that I do and don’t I ever get tired – well thought I would try and do a post about the 5 things that motivate me.  Actually, as I was preparing for this post I had a hard time narrowing it down to 5 as I so love working online that much.

change2As most of you know, I love helping others and that is probably the most enjoyable thing and believe me my number one that motivates me.  You see there is nothing more rewarding than having someone in your downline come to you and tell you how they are succeeding for the first time – their first referral, their first sale, etc. That will sure gets my adrenalin going and I want to help more and more and more.

With that in mind, I would have to say the 2nd would be being asked for help.  Why would that motivate me – it tells me that people have been watching, listening and trust me to even ask and that by far goes a long way in today’s world.  Do I know all the answers – NO but I do know enough people online that when I don’t know – I can ask around and will find an answer for you.

happycatSpeaking of trust, the same thing happens when I see people supporting my sites, promoting the sites.  You all have no idea what I look at behind the scenes at the sites and it’s not what the site brought in for money wise today – it’s who joined, where did they join from and why did they join.  All that info is important to me and motivates me to keep going, keep doing what I’m doing as it’s working – now that is motivation for me.

Now I know most of you reading this are wondering how I can know the why when someone joins that site – well this is just me but I have taken the time to set up a series of emails to new members and they get sent out about ever three days.  This is a teaching series that I have done up explaining the site, suggesting tools they will be needing etc. and from the response to those emails tells me what the person is looking for and how I can help them even more.

AND last but not least, most of you know by now that I love quotes, I love finding the positive out of everything – so yes I find motivation in reading quotes and wanted to share some of my favorites and believe me this was hard to narrow down to a few lol

”Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!” –Audrey Hepburn

“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.” – Eric Thomas

“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.”
– Og Mandino

“You don’t have to be great at something to start, but you have to start to be great at something”
– Zig Ziglar

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
– Lao Tzu

Text Ads Work

Posted on by

Over the years of doing internet marketing, I’ve noticed something surprising: most people don’t use even half of the advertising resources available to them. And there’s one tool that is so overlooked it’s almost shocking.

Text Ads.
They are the most underused resource out there — and I’m here to tell you, Text Ads WORK.

What Exactly Is a Text Ad?

An online advertisement that contains only written copy

  • A short line of copy
  • A link to your site
  • A quick description of your offer

That’s it. No fancy graphics. No big production.
Just clean, direct, clickable text — and it converts.

Examples of text ads that have worked for me are at the bottom.

What I See as a Site Owner

I’ve owned all kinds of sites — traffic exchanges, mailers, paid-to-click sites, and yes, even text ad exchanges.

And here’s the pattern I see over and over:

Members complain that “this site doesn’t work” or “that site doesn’t work.”
But when I go look at their account to see what they’re actually doing…
Most of the time, they’re barely using any of their advertising tools.

In TEs, many members only add the one site required to surf.
No banners.
No text ads.
No square banners.
Just empty ad slots sitting there doing nothing.

And in mailers, PTCs, and text ad exchanges?
Same story.

Meanwhile, the members I don’t hear from — the ones quietly getting results — are the ones using every resource available to them.

So What Are You Waiting For?

This is YOUR opportunity to finally see how powerful text ads can be.
I’ve used them for years, and they consistently bring in clicks, leads, and sales.

– Don’t Overthink It — This Works
– Simple. Clean. Clickable.
– The Ad Style Everyone Overlooks… Except the Winners
– Tiny Text. Big Impact.
– This Is Where the Magic Starts
– If You Saw This, They Will Too
– Old?School Trick. New?School Results.
– The Little Text Ad That Could

Always be thankful – lesson to learn

Posted on by

Well as I was doing the email tonight for Zaney Clicks I went searching for some Thanksgiving quotes and it’s amazing how things work out and you find things that YOU need – another one of those miracles that most don’t talk about.

As most of you know and have been putting up with my pile of screw ups on the sites lately and yes there is a reason – you see I lost focus on what I should be thankful for and got wrapped up in what life was dishing out for me instead of trusting God.

Running across this poem sure put things in perspective for me and thought I would share with all of you…

thankful3Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

~Author Unknown

So everyone no matter what life dishes out to you if you look hard enough you will find those things to be thankful for and I’m one of the lucky ones as I have many of them and they are YOU all the wonderful people that I have met since my journey online and you all don’t even realize how much you have helped me – so just wanted to write this and say THANK YOU

Bribe and Gifting

Posted on by
12

In the Affiliate Funnel webinar a couple weeks ago, Marci Jones talked about how people love bribes and well got me thinking and thought I’d write a post about what is running thru my mind.

offers2Remember when you first started and how you didn’t know where to start, how to start – well wouldn’t it have been nice if your upline had helped you out by gifting you some credits to get started.

Think about it if you have a site that is your favorite, you are getting results, you are earning mooooolah – wouldn’t it be in your interest to get your referrals doing the same thing.

Most of you that have your favorite sites have sooooooo many credits and they are just sitting there and you just keep surfing the site – why not use those credits and bribe more people to join under you – then reward them even more by gifting the more credits when they upgrade.

helping you learn and earnIsn’t that a win-win for YOU and your referral.  Most of the time you are already an upgraded member and some of you are lifetimers at some of your favorites sites.  This is great for YOU as you will earn commissions and you will more than likely get a referral that will join under you at another site also.

Oh I see those wheels spinning – do you know how happy your new referral would be if because of YOU gifting them credits got them their first referral or earned them their first money online.  I know you remember how exciting it was for you when that happened to you – come on and help make that happen for someone else.

If you don’t see that offered at your favorite site, then contact the owner as I’m sure they will help you make this happen.  Now go and make someones day.

But I can’t………………

Well today I thought I would finally break down and write this blog post as you would not believe how many times I hear people say but I can’t……….  Many of you know me as a quote junky and this one comes to mine

cantorcan

 

 

 

 

So with that in mind, lets touch on a few basics here that I will think help you especially if you don’t have a particular program to promote but you are still looking for some way to earn commissions until you can have the time to test what is working for you.

Well one of the resources that I use and just love as it makes my life so much easier and almost as handy as any rotators is this affiliate downline builder page.  So you are new to TEland, mailers, limited budge, the marketing world and so many are telling you this and telling you that – back up and think about this for a minute.

17944098484828895_plIaqANF_bActually, I wish years ago when I started someone would have made this suggestion for me as it would have made my life so much easier.  How about if I could show you an easy way to promote 9 different programs all at the same time with the ONE url.

The reason that I bring up the ONE url – if you have been following my blog post you would remember that I suggest that you find ONE program and stay focused on that ONE program till you have a good downline and earning money.  If you missed that blog post you can read it here One is a Lonely Number

Well if you have joined some sites and really can’t make a decision yet about what is working for you and you still want to focus on that ONE url which will save you time in the long run – here is your answer.

As an upgraded member of Affiliate Funnel, I have the choice of this awesome splash page – ONE url and the programs that I am promoting or recommending.  Now remember when I said this is as good as a rotator – well it is as if you find that one program in your list here is not performing for you like it should you can come to the Affiliate Funnel site and edit this page.

Nancy Radlinger recommends………

Seriously now – look at this page closely – this is one of the best branding pages out there if you ask me – it has my name, my picture and even says I recommend – what more could you ask for when someone ask you what you do online and what programs are working for you or that you recommend – You can give them this ONE url, ONE page to look at as you go thru each program and tell them the reasons why – don’t that sound like it could make your life easier.

Think about how much time this will save you  – you can put in ONE url and assign your credits – you can write ONE email to add to mailers with what you recommend – short and sweet huh?  So the next time that you say to yourself but I can’t – change that to I can and I will.

Don’t know if you noticed that the bonus on this page is that you can show people this page and if they want a page like this – they can click on this page and join Affiliate Funnel – believe me this works as I get referrals from this page all the time.  AND if you remember at the beginning, I has said I was an upgraded member – well this page helps me earn monthly from this site – it can you too – click now and make your life easier for yourself.

“We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse.”

When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit.
When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.”

Points For You To Ponder

Posted on by
33

Well most of you know well enough by now that I listen and read what others have to say and then I have to share my two cents so I have some points for you to ponder.

Judging others

judgingcat3Way too often I see or hear about other site owners judging others for something they might be trying especially if it’s out of the norm.  And here lately, it’s because this one might be opening too many sites or another might be asking people to pay them directly to their Paypal account to keep from paying commissions and the list goes on and on.

Well I am still old fashioned enough that I still believe in ye without sin cast the first stone – and I just don’t understand how some can put themselves up on this high pedestal – don’t know about you but my mom always told me that being on that pedestal – there is always someone that wants to knock you off.

Just because you have been around the TE World for awhile, or might have more experience programming your own site, or think that you have learned it all – it still does not give you the right to judge others – period.  In my opinion, you should be focusing that time in figuring out how you can make me happy and get the results that I’m looking for.

Set of Rules to Abide By

peteThis one really gets me as I listen to this “set of rules” that some have come up with and that should be followed when running your own site or in your promoting another site.  Last I heard, we are still in a country where I still have the freedom to run my site the way I see so it will benefit my site and the members. Also, I can promote what program I want – or did we lose our freedom?

Now before you go thinking we are protecting others from being screwed over – and again who made you judge and jury?  Grant you there are some programs out there that are questionable but I don’t feel I’m qualified to decide which they are – just my opinion is I should be focused on my site and know in my heart what I am doing is legal and morally right period.

Stop straddling the fence. Again it’s these same people that talk about others yet do the same behind the scenes and I see that all the time.  How can a person preach one thing and then do the same thing they are saying others should not be doing.  How can a person put down another person for trying it their way and then publically be put down them for it BUT yet keep taking that persons money for an upgrade at their site?

Cheaters?

Who wrote the cheaters handbook?  What or who is a cheater?  When should a person be suspended?  AND if you suspend the cheaters, do they still count the that total member total that you brag about? What happened to being innocent until proven guilty?  Did that go by the wayside also?

judgingcatGrant you there are many cheaters out there and yes they should be stopped but the ones that point fingers really should look at the 3 pointing back at them.  Do you really do everything by the book?  Do you not find shortcuts that shouldn’t be used?  Do you not make deals with others behind the scene?  So who is cheating really?  Think about that the next time you make a deal with someone – who are you cheating out of their commissions?

Lifetime Upgrades

Well this one could be a post in itself as I have really caught hell (excuse my English) that I didn’t put out one of those cheap lifetimes on the mailer that I just launched.  Well Just my opinion, lifetimes are just fast money for an owner.  If the owner was serious about their sites, plan on being around for the long haul then there are expenses that go with it.

Lot of owners get in trouble offering these cheap lifetimes and then wonder why they can’t pay the commissions.  When a lifetime is offered and a person is getting 50 % commissions – you just took in 1/2 the money your should and you cut that recurring income out by offering that lifetime.

AND don’t go and make some low upgrade that is just a few credits above what free members get and put the word lifetime on it.  Come on we are not that stupid that we are going to buy that crap – just so we can say we have a lifetime at your site.  AND yes that does happen – people have been brain washed with that word lifetime.  It’s a trigger word just like free, discount, sale, etc.  Make sure that you read the fine print before you buy and that site owner laughs all the way to the bank.

60728294946944041_qNywDCq7_bWell I see that I got long winded again but feel better that got some things off my chest.  If you are looking for an honest, hard working owner, they are out there.  Don’t get caught up in the crap you read or hear about others.  The bottom line is TRACK YOUR RESULTS – this will show you the true facts about sites and where you should be with your advertising.  What works for someone else not always works for you – you have to take the time and find out what works for YOU.
