Rants, Raves, and off the wall opinions and more

We all could be a little more sociable, right or wrong? Well, it depends on not only WHO you are, but more specifically what are you doing that you need to interact more with people? Let's look at a few real world examples: An underwater welder really is not interested in your opinion and social activity for him/her is not all that important....on the opposite is the sales clerk as the local store...this person needs to know the customers and be able to fulfill their needs, but BOTH examples need to know their environment and the products they are handling. It all goes the same with Internet Marketing, a little common sense goes a lonnnnnnng way...(especially if you have read any of my OTHER rants on this blog! LOL! hahaha!) If you see a FREE Live/taped/or otherwise/ Webinar about Marketing...then I would highly recommend that you attend, take notes, record it, absorb it, etc...and go on... The key here is LEARNING....learning to adapt to an EVER CHANGING MARKET that will chan...

Ok, I realize that Free advice is not always good advice, but then again sometimes paid advice is so hard to follow that you regret ever buying it...but hey why pay for it when you can get it for free, right? I am NOT an expert on money making by any means, but I have made a few dollars over time, actually I made enough to buy myself and my kids a few extra things for Christmas, I won't say exactly how much, but they were happy. Oddly enough most of it came from surveys and etc...let's just say it was OVER $100.00 USD. My point is that you should never give up and try reading some of my older posts and use the search engines to determine what is REALLY a scam and what is not. type in the name of the program or as close as you remember it and follow it with the word SCAM. You can tell what is a scam and what isn't. Usually if it is free it too good to be true, although there are some rare gems, but like all rare gems they must be found and they are not going to be drop...

Okay, Let's start off with the Traffic Exchanges! What is a Traffic Exchange? My definition is this: a place, site, or program designed to send Traffic to a specific website designed or promoted by you. Wikipedia Definition of Traffic Exchange There are a lot more details and you can do the research yourself because there are volumes of information about the various aspects of TE's, but there are a few simple things to remember: 1. Buying credits at a TE depends on the particular TE. Find out how many members they have and if possible how many are online at any given time and MORE important is WHAT time of day are the most people online. 2. Bigger Exchanges have more users, but more pages in rotation, so making your page stand out from the crowd is VERY important on these sites. 3: Check the RATIO. How many sites do you have to view to get 1 credit. It varies from site to site. Although a shorter timer is more preferred remember that people are only seeing your sit...

I've tried to open my mind to the greater possibilities that the internet offers and far as money making and profiting goes, but it all boils down to a few things: 1. Having an online presence. The big stores have the brick and mortar to back them up. Online only is a whole different ball of wax. 2. Getting to # 1 above is as myriad a rode as trying to figure out how to walk and you have no legs, but it can be done. 3. There are plenty of ways to make money online, i.e. affiliate marketing, advertising, selling digital products, selling real products, the list goes on. 4. Starting your own PTC program or TE, or whatever. It all goes back to reputation and people knowing and trusting you. Because as we all know, NOTHING goes away forever in the digital world. So, these are just a few tips that might help or not. The key is not to give up and when you get that NICHE you should laser focus on it and stay on it and try to earn more than a SINGLE dollar, but if you can make $1, ...

Now I'm going to make this quick because you CAN make money with PTC programs, HOWEVER, most of the time it is only a few cents or a dollar or two. The key and the ONLY WAY, let me rinse and repeat that last part again....the ONLY WAY to make REAL money with a PTC is to have referrals. Rented or Direct, you've got to have them. The difference is obvious, the rented ones go away after a set time, but a direct referral STAYS with you as long as they are active in the program. If you need further information simply search for direct referral strategies or free direct referrals. If you want to know more about PTC's read some of my older posts. Until next time....live long and well hopefully prosper! LOL!
