The very short and simple answer is that a list means you’ve got traffic and customers. At a minimum, you have potential traffic and potential customers.

Consider this. If I have a list of 5,000 people interested in pet products then I have list of 5,000 who might buy something from me if I send them an email.

Once someone is on your list you can send them messages. You can build a relationship. You can build trust. You can establish a rapport with hundreds or thousands of people.

All businesses need these relationships to ensure long term success. But, online businesses need even more love and attention. They need more tools for building trust. There is great skepticism online and having a list can save you.

Let me give you another perspective. This is very real; very tangible.

Just 2 days ago I bought the rights to a great video series on getting top ranking in Google for less than 1 hour of work; One Hour Google. (Highly recommended, by the way.)

I spent no more than two hours getting the videos set up. I made some quick changes to the graphics and content. I also set up a payment link and some other things. This was very easy for me to do. (If you’re curious about all that magic don’t miss PLR Exploitation. I explain all of this in great detail.)

In any event, I set up everything quickly but then I had to take the next action:

DRIVING TRAFFIC

Now, most people would use pay-per-click (PPC), article marketing, blogging, and other techniques. That makes a lot of sense. These techniques are not “fly by night” — they are legitimate. They work.

But, I decided to be a little bit lazy. What I did was craft a quick note. I added that note to my autoresponder. Thousands of people are now learning about One Hour Google. I provided a little background about it and pointed my list in the right direction.

Now you know the power of list building. It’s something that you must do if you want to succeed in the long term. Get going right now. You’ll be glad you did.

First, I want you to know that you can succeed. Many people laugh when I tell them that can generate $1,000,000 in less than 5 years. In fact, you can do it in less than 4 years if you’re aggressive:

• One Million Dollars

I wish that every online marketer would read that posting. You do not have to follow the plan I’ve outlined. But, you do need inspiration and faith. You need to understand it can be done with effort and just a little time. (5 years is just over 1,800 days. That’s easy.)

Second, you need to realize that business opportunities are all around you. Don’t be blind to business opportunities like so many other people.

If you’re reading this blog posting you’re probably already generating at least a few bucks online. If you are, what have you done about it? I strongly suggest that you make a couple of minor changes. You can succeed in 2009 simply by applying some focus.

I recommend you look into the 10x Method immediately if you are making any money online.

Quickly frankly, if you are pulling down cash right now, you’ve got a potential cash cow ready for milking. The 10x Method explains everything and it’s free. As “they” say it’s risk free.

Third, you need to form a solid plan that is going to work for you. I strongly urge you follow a business model. What I mean is that you need to avoid trying to exploit little tricks. You need to stop chasing fads and silly trends.

There are real BUSINESS models out there for you to follow. That’s how to grow and make real money online. You might need some inspiration. So, here are a few places you can start:

• FreeBusinessModel.com — Autopilot memberships are explained
• Really Simple Method — An easy way to make money online
• Join an Internet Marketing Affiliate Program — Doesn’t take much work

Those are just some ideas. You can set up a membership. You can exploit private label rights. You can do article marketing. You can become an affiliate. There is so much you can do.

But don’t get distracted because lack of focus will kill your chances at success. Focus is key. Having a plan with a solid business model is essential.

It has over 500 pages of content. (Maybe more?) It’s awesome content. Nearly 100% original and added over the years, naturally and with great care. Much of the content is linkbait. I have thousands and thousands of incoming links.

The domain is over (gasp!) 10 years old. Yes, it’s been around since 1998. It’s a 7 letter domain, which is a bit long considering the age, but it’s good. Is it SEO’ed or otherwise optimized? Not really.

There’s more too…

This is one of the very first blogs on the internet. Seriously, this was absolutely on of the first 10K blogs out there. I would even place a small wager that it’s one of the first 1,000 blogs.

When it started the site was 100% static. Then, I started to manually update it with news. It
became a manual blog (FTP uploads of HTML). That was it; 100% old school.

Now, at first, it was a labor of love. I just had a web site because I could. It seemed like a smart thing to do.

Then, over time, people started to call me. They emailed me. And, I landed some huge contracts as a consultant in this (extremely competitive) niche. That was back in 1999 through 2001. That was a monetization model that simply fell into my lap. No effort!

I even had a list of 8,000 hungry subscribers. I sent out more than 80 newsletters over a 3-4 year period and I drove substantial traffic. (Thelist size is about 500 now.)

All of this sounds FANTASTIC, doesn’t it?

Well, it becomes a sad story with a great ending. You see, for many years (on and off) I would update the site. But, not enough to keep it growing. Although it still pulls substantial traffic, it hasn’t grown.

Furthermore, the site wasn’t properly monetized. I did very little with Adsense and nothing with any products or services. Well, next to nothing. I did some things but it was feeble. Not much cash flowed in, which just encouraged me to stay away and focus on other things.

Now, however, I am ready to strike. I realize that I was blind to business opportunities with the site. I know more about how to market and sell products to my site visitors. More importantly, I know how to add more value and deliver more value to my readers and customers.

The best news is that I realized that I have a super high quality asset. It’s time to leverage that asset and generate some money. It’s also time to help more people through that site. It’s time to strike.

In this article, I’ll show you exactly how to make it easy to get people to help you. First, I’ll talk about setting up affiliate support web pages. Second, I’ll talk about getting traffic to your niche web site or blog. Third, I’ll explain the importance of back scratching and helping other people ahead of time.

One of the best ways to make money online and drive traffic is to enlist the help of affiliate marketers. Internet marketing affiliate programs can lead to incredible traffic if you offer 100% commissions on big ticket products and services, which is exactly what we do with the 10x Method affiliate program. What affiliate marketer doesn’t want to promote a $47 product with 100% commissions?

But wait, you’re only going to get affiliates to promote your service if you make it easy. So, you need to take the time to provide easy affiliate link building tools, instant marketing set up tools, targeted keyword lists, free promotional images, email message templates, and so on.

Here’s the Rhodes Brothers affiliate product link creation page. As you can see, we make it easy to create links but also quickly access the sales pages. This is the kind of at-a-glance reference affiliates want.

As another reference, you should look at the Traffic Drill reseller sign up page. On that page, we explain reselling, we explain the benefits of being a Traffic Drill reseller, we explain the set process using simple language, and most important we make it easy to make money as a reseller. We maintain everything from the sales page to the sign up page to the member maintenance. Literally, we give you the power to own a membership without any hassle.

Here’s another example. I like how Kevin Riley does affiliate marketing because he spends money on tools and processes that make my life easier. We don’t promote for many people, but Kevin makes it easy. For example, when he sends out emails to his affiliates he includes their specific affiliate URLs. I do a simple cut-n-paste and I’m done. There’s no effort and very little thinking, except for the marketing. I can focus and make money because it’s easy to work with Kevin.

Here’s a bit of business advice. If you’re serious about getting affiliates to help you, then spend the time and money to make it simple and make it easy for others to help you. The less “friction” you generate the better.

Bonus! If you’ve read this far I want to give you a gift. Please download Cracking The Code: Earn $20 Per Day With Free Blogs — Did you notice how easy I made that for you? It’s a simple click and you benefit without any more effort. The more you can do like that, the more loyalty and goodwill you’ll generate. This is the power of making life easy for others.

Let’s change gears now and talk about generating traffic to your niche web sites and blogs. What I’m going to cover is simple but effective. Don’t be fooled by how easy these things are to do.

If you look above, you will see that I talk about Kevin Riley for an entire paragraph (lucky guy). I’m doing that because now Kevin might link to me or help me. I would never demand traffic or links from Kevin, but I will ask very nicely. I’ll send him a note or I’ll send him a direct message on Twitter. (Hey, are you Following me on Twitter?) If I’m lucky, I’ll get some link love which translates to short and long term traffic.

Another thing you can do to easily drive traffic is build relationships with others via JVs and giveaways. Here’s an example. I did 90% of the work on the Simple Giveaway. I bought the domain, set up the page, and emailed everyone about everything. I coordinated the launch and I made it easy for my partners to do business with me. I was rewarded with tons of traffic and hundreds of sign ups to Free Business Model.

How else can you help others help you? Well, if you have a blog, do you have web 2.0 social bookmarking widgets installed? (Hint: I like Sociable.) At the bottom of this blog posting there are several buttons you can click to Digg, Stumble and otherwise bookmark this posting. (Please take action. Click-n-save!)

The last thing I’ll talk about is back scratching, both formal and informal. I’ll also talk about helping people ahead of time.

So, what’s formal back scratching? The idea is simple. You work within a membership or system with a group of other like-minded people. For example, maybe you work with the Rhodes Brothers via our coaching program. You can also find that kind of support inside Traffic Drill, which is dedicated to driving traffic to your web site. Plainly speaking, the idea is that you pay a small fee to help other people and have them help you. It’s simple but deadly effective.

Now, how about informal back scratching? The concept is straightforward. You would go out of your way to help other people via social web sites like Twitter. For example, just today I asked about 7-8 trusted Twitter colleagues to take a look at a new blog entry I wrote in a special niche. If they like the page and it’s valuable, they will likely Stumble or Digg that page. If it’s not good, they’ll give me feedback so I can improve it. Importantly, I make it easy to Stumble and Digg, but also provide me with feedback via Twitter. That’s key.

What works better, formal back scratching or informal back scratching? Honestly, they both work well. However, if you’re looking for guaranteed help or traffic, then services like Traffic Drill are your best bet.

What I want you to understand is that you will build up goodwill and karma over time if you know how to make it easy for other people to make money. Think about it. If someone is making it easy for you to make money, you’ll be loyal. You’ll drive traffic for them. You’ll praise them and help them. This karma and goodwill leads to joint ventures and revenue multipliers.

Do good unto others and it will return to you many times. It’s not only the “right thing” it’s the way of profits and a satisfying life.

Hi, I’ve got David McKee here. He is a member of TrafficDrill.com, and my name is John S. Rhodes. I am one of the Rhodes brothers. I’m asking David a few questions here. I think some folks are gonna be pretty interested in what David has to say. Primarily because he joined Traffic Drill and in a very short period of time he was able to utilize the system, utilize the forum, work with members and achieve some really great results. And I wanted to give him an opportunity to share that success with you. So, David, tell us a little bit about yourself, and feel free to drop a few URLs here and there, if you’d like, so people can get a feel for what you do, who you are, and that sort of thing.

David McKee
Well, John, I’ve been a software engineer for the last twenty years and written in just about every language there is, practically. Mainly, in Java nowadays, but of course Java Script, PHP & all that kind of stuff. But, my day job is I develop network software and business software, mainly for banks and things like that. But, I’ve been trying to build sites online, and kind of go off on my own. As far as doing things with Traffic Drill, that was a real boost for me, because I’ve had some sites, I was doing some copywriting, doing some software development online, that kind of thing, and needed to figure out ways to drive traffic. So, that’s kind of how I fell into Traffic Drill.

John S. Rhodes
Awesome, so this is a part-time thing for you then?

David McKee
Yeah, it is kind of. What I do is I work all day on my software stuff for my company, and then spend all my extra time working on my sites and stuff, when I’m not with the family and what not, of course.

John S. Rhodes
Right, right. So the way I think about that for you then, and a lot of Traffic Drillers actually fall into these exact same circumstances, you know, you’re working all day, you don’t have a whole lot of time on the nights and the weekends, so you have to find tools and techniques and services to help you get the job done. If you do it yourself, if you were working all day, if this was your full-time thing, then maybe you wouldn’t need Traffic Drill quite as much. So, in your case, it really sounds like it’s going to be a time-saver, or, it is a time-saver. Is that pretty accurate?

David McKee
Yeah, well, I kind of think of it more like a major leverage. For me, it allows me to find ways to build traffic and talk to people who’ve done it, like yourself and the other members, who know a lot of tricks. And I basically just look through the tricks, listen to the videos, and I just did the stuff, and I got results. And, you know, nothing succeeds like success, I guess.

John S. Rhodes
Right. Yeah, so it sounds like maybe anyone, a full-timer or a part-timer, would benefit then. That’s great. Where did you first hear about Traffic Drill?

David McKee
Well, I basically sign up to just about every kind of internet business thing that has like free kinds of e-newsletters, things like that. I got, like Michael Senoff, I don’t know if you’ve heard of him. Or, Michael Thornton.

John S. Rhodes
Oh, yeah, Michael Thornton.

David McKee
Dan Locke, just, all these different internet marketers, I get all of their emails, and I read through them and when I see something in there that says, hey you should check this out, I’ll check it out. If it’s somebody that I trust, I’ll check it out and somehow, I can’t exactly remember where, but one of those newsletters pointed me to Traffic Drill, and I’ve heard of, you know, you guys, the Rhodes brothers, a couple of times.

John S. Rhodes
Yeah, yeah.

David McKee
You guys pop up a lot. So, you know, I checked it out, and, actually I believe I saw you guys on Warrior forum.

John S. Rhodes
OK, that’s entirely possible there. Trust is a big thing, you’re really hitting on a key point there. If you can’t trust the source, then really, what’s the point? You don’t know what you’re gonna get. You’d like to have a known quantity when you’re making these purchases online and getting assistance.

David McKee
Yeah, I make very few purchases online. I know a lot of people out there in internet business buy everything. But I basically think that because a lot of these people who are gurus now started out on a shoestring and they didn’t buy all this stuff, that I should be able to do the same thing. So when I buy something, such as Traffic Drill, I’ve checked it out pretty thoroughly, and I know that I’m going to get what I expect to get out of it.

John S. Rhodes
Right. Yeah, cool. That’s good, a lot of people do do that, they actually probably have the money, but they don’t spend it deliberately, so that they do sort of learn in the trenches and it sounds like that’s the path you’ve taken. That’s not to say you wouldn’t go with a JV, you know, joint venture, if it was dangled in front of you and it was the right folks, but I do know a lot of folks in your circumstances, in your shoes, they do try to do that. So that’s really cool. That really helps filter out the good stuff and bad stuff. What did you think about Traffic Drill at first, you know, when you first saw the sales page, when you first decided to join, then got inside, and what were your initial thoughts?

John S. Rhodes
Well, I mean the sales page is really good. Like I said I’ve kind of been studying copywriting for the last couple years, too. That’s another set of the people that I have e-newsletters from are a lot of copywriters out there. I read everything that they write, I read their ads, I’ve got lots of books on it. It’s well written copy. It was on, I believe again, this was on Warrior forum that I saw it. But then I went into the forum and actually checked the people who were on it, who were talking about it on the forum. In order to make sure that it wasn’t just copy with nothing behind it. My first impression was this sounds like something really good, and the price was right, so, you know for twenty bucks you can’t go wrong, check it out for 30 days, so I figured what the heck. And I was very surprised, I’ve already made that back twice, in sales that I got.

John S. Rhodes
Yeah, so let’s talk about that.

David McKee
Just in a little newsletter that I have.

John S. Rhodes
That’s really awesome. So, what kind of results? One of the things that I thought was really amazing is you actually talked about getting some page rank in just, what was it, four or five days, right?

David McKee
Yeah, I have a site called AchieveMaster which, right now, all I’m selling on there is a business collection. 263 copywriting business books. That’s www.achievemaster.com, but that site’s mainly for a piece of software I’m developing, which is basically for tracking your goals and achievements, and it allows you to do brainstorming with mindmaps and things like that and brings it all together into a single collaborative whole, and allows you to collaborate with other people or with other list systems. I’ve been working on that for almost 8 months and hope to have it done in another couple and be selling that on that site. But I basically wanted to start getting traffic to the site and that’s why I set up the $7 collection of business books, get people to it, and then I could start building a list, and then use that to sell the product in the future.

John S. Rhodes
Awesome. So that was achievemaster.com?

David McKee
That’s correct.

John S. Rhodes
Great. I did take a look at the site and there is a lot of really good stuff there for an amazing price. So anyone who’s looking for some really good information in this niche definitely head over to achievemaster.com.

David McKee
Well, I tried to write a lot of good articles and I post, of course, on ezine. Course I read all you guys’ Traffic Hammer and listen to all those things too. So, you know, that stuff’s been around the web for awhile, and people talked about how you build your back links but when I started seeing some of the awesome ideas for building real social network backlinks and bookmarking links and stuff, I just said I’m gonna start doing some of this stuff. So my page rank went from just nothing, actually one of the things I have to admit is I never even really checked it out. But I would just see the little white bar up there in my Firefox, which meant that basically you have no page rank. And within five days I started seeing green on that, and now I’ve got a visible chunk of page rank up there. It’s still not as high as I’d like it to be, I think it’s like one, but that’s better than zero.

John S. Rhodes
Yeah.

David McKee
I got that in a very short time, I was pretty happy with that.

John S. Rhodes
That’s fantastic. Within five days to get any page rank is really quite something. So let me, if you don’t mind just for a moment, give folks a little bit of background on Traffic Drill and you can comment. So, for folks who don’t know, who haven’t been to trafficdrill.com, or have not joined yet, there’s a number of ways that people can actually generate traffic from inside Traffic Drill. There’s a link exchange, so you can provide sites where people can post their links or you can post links for them. You can exchange links if you are in the same niche, and it makes sense. There’s also a traffic exchange, where you can ask people to help you out. And that can be as simple as people utilizing Stumble Upon, and what that might mean, is you ask people to look at the page or the site that you want some traffic to, and if they like it, they can give you a thumbs up and maybe give you a review. In another case, you might ask people to, perhaps, write a twit on Twitter, so put a little posting or an update on Twitter. In other cases, you might ask them to include something small on a blog entry that they have written on some topic, and so on, and so forth. But basically it’s a social area, it’s a forum where people are really helping each other. And now in addition to that, and, David, you had mentioned this, in addition to that we have, oh man, I don’t know, probably 8 or 10 different rock solid resources inside the Traffic Drill membership, where people can download, there’s several videos in there, I think 3 or 4 videos we have in there now, and the number of manuals, anything from how to utilize and exploit RSS to literally how to go get your site indexed more quickly, things of that nature. So, David, do you have any comments on these materials or the link exchange or the traffic exchange?

David McKee
Well, one of the things is I’ve found some great sites that are kind of related to mine, and we’ve actually exchanged blogroll links, so we were crossed like that way with other sites. So that way visitors from one link can move to another. Some times that can be bad, but you know, if you’re in a related site you’re helping each other out, so those are usually pretty strong links, pretty juicy. Certainly the videos and the manuals, I mean, those are products you guys have sold in the past and now they’re on here for anyone that belongs to the sites. That’s real good stuff.

John S. Rhodes
Yeah, yeah. Definitely, definitely. We try to put a lot of value into this so, even if folks stay in for a couple months, they definitely get that value right up front, and we are always adding new material. David, for example, I’m not sure if you’ve seen the latest upload that I added. It’s four different methods actually for finding really great keywords, because if you’re gonna be generating content, writing blog entries, or if you’re gonna do some article marketing, you need those great keywords. And in turn, of course, that leads downstream to driving traffic to those blog entries or those articles and so on. So one of the things that we do know and that we’re gonna continue doing is adding value to the membership, providing more of these downloads, more videos, more hands-on materials that David and I are referencing. So let’s start wrapping it up here. Let me ask you sort of a direct question. What do you think the number one thing is about Traffic Drill? What would you say personally is number one for you?

David McKee
For me, it allows me to network with like-minded people, which a lot of times, you see that their stuff out there is sales pages and stuff but you don’t know who they really are but, I mean, I’ve actually done an interview with another guy whose building some podcasts and, I mean, this is really cool it’s like going to a conference except that you do it from your computer and it’s really nice. Actually this, using Skype, is something I’d never really done before, I knew about it but I never really use it, I just use my cellphone. Well, now, I’m using this a lot more, I’ve learned a ton of stuff so I would say anybody whose getting into the internet marketing, really needs to blog in something like this, because you learn 10 times faster than you would just reading stuff.

John S. Rhodes
Yeah, so it sounds like not only are you getting some educational material, and some insight, as well as, the big part of this is you’re actually getting traffic, you’re getting page rank, and you’re gonna be showing up in the search engines. So those are two huge methods, but also a side benefit because Traffic Drill is primarily a forum, a very tight knit forum, where people are helping each other drive traffic, you’re actually forming some great relationships. You know, and that leads to some significant joint ventures. We’ve made thousands upon thousands of dollars through our relationships with other people. You build up a trust with people and, of course, Traffic Drill facilitates that with the karma system. You build up a trust, you can see what people are doing, what they’re saying. But that networking and then in turn the JVs, can lead to, honestly, a substantial income and it sounds like you’ve already taken advantage of that. And it wasn’t even something that we really promoted in the sales letter, it’s not something that we’ve promoted at all, but it’s definitely a side effect, which is really awesome. That’s great to hear.

David McKee
Yeah, I mean, you talking about command the search engines, you type the words, the master achiever, I’m number two in the Google search. So I’m pretty happy with that.

John S. Rhodes
That’s pretty awesome. Hey, did we miss anything, David? Anything I didn’t ask you about? Anything else that, something cool you think folks might want to hear about and know about?

David McKee
No, I mean, I just think, one of the things you could really leverage is that if you’re doing internet marketing, or even if you’re not, and you’re just looking for a community of like-minded people that can help you get there faster. Well, Traffic Drill’s really an awesome tool.

John S. Rhodes
Yeah, thanks, thanks a lot, David, that really means a lot. Let’s wrap it up here. So, again, this is John S. Rhodes, of the Rhodes brothers, and I’m one of the guys behind, one of the founders of Traffic Drill, and that’s trafficdrill.com. We’ve been talking with David McKee, and he’s the guy behind achievemaster.com. Definitely check out that site. It’s a real nice site, lots of good material there, and he’s offering up a ton of stuff for free. And then there’s also some other awesome material there for really next to nothing, definitely worth grabbing. OK, well, thanks a lot, take care.

David McKee
Alright, you, too, John.

(Sounds good, don’t you think?)

Just imagine: This traffic creation site would allow you to generate cash again and again. The reason is very simple. If you can get traffic, you can make money. There are many ways to make money online if you get get people to your site…

• Advertising Revenue
• Affiliate Marketing
• Selling Memberships
• Selling Your Own Products

And, you could capture that traffic through a squeeze page. You could build up your list. Nothing could be better than building that list up from the flowing traffic. From there, you could provide more value, sell more products, and build your empire. I smell success…

MAGIC BULLETS?

If you’re here, reading this article, I assume that you want to make money online and you need a traffic generation web site, just like I describe. You need that “magic bullet” which allows you to pull down traffic easily.

Well, let’s talk more about this. There are three basic ways to get web site traffic. You can buy it, you can beg for it, or you can borrow it.

You can use pay per click (PPC) tools, like Adwords, to easily pull in visitors. You can do this day after day, week after week. This is one way to buy traffic; there are many.

All it takes to get web site traffic is some money. I admit that this isn’t a secret. However, I must make an important point. I’ll start with this. PPC can be very expensive. And, there’s a learning curve. It’s not something that’s easy to jump into, and it can drain your bank account. But there is a nugget of wisdom here. If you spend money, you can make money. Better still, there are legitimate ways to spend a little money but make a lot in return. I’ll come back to this idea later.

You can also “beg” for traffic. You can do some article marketing for example and get listed in the search engines, or get traffic from your author bio box directly. The point is that you can get traffic for free. However, it takes a lot of time and effort to make the magic happen. You have to write and submit a lot of content. You’re behind even if you outsource the writing because that is more money out of your pocket. But, there’s a key idea here. You can use the search engines to leverage your results. I’ll come back to this idea later, too.

You can also “borrow” traffic. There are two easy-to-understand examples of this. First, you can do a joint venture with someone. You would send out a note for an internet marketer in your niche, and they would do the same for you.

Also, you could participate in a giveaway. With a giveaway (e.g., Simple Giveaway), everyone drives traffic to one site and you benefit from everyone else participating. The are problems with giveaway events. They are not consistent, they take time to set up, and time to manage. Joining a giveaway is better than running one, in most cases.

So, let’s recap. You can buy traffic (e.g., PPC), you can beg for it (e.g., organic Google results), or you can borrow it (e.g., JVs and giveaways). Of course there are other models but these categories cover most of the playing field.

DEMAND WEB SITE TRAFFIC

So, here’s the scoop. I want you to take a look at Traffic Drill. If you haven’t heard of it, the concept is stunning. You can literally ask other people to drive traffic to your web site. It’s a traffic generation web site that the Rhodes Brothers developed, and it includes several special advantages.

You can ask people to do things like bookmark you site (e.g., using Del.icio.us), Digg a blog entry, and give an article a Thumbs Up on StumbleUpon. You just need to ask other Traffic Drillers for help. Yes, you simply ask for traffic and you get it.

Traffic Drill utilizes the power of web 2.0, social media and social web sites. Everyone works together to drive traffic. It’s something that anyone can do. Traffic Drill is the kind of simple web service that works in any niche. It’s awesome.

Oh, and there are videos and special whitepapers that explain one-of-a-kind traffic generation secrets. For example, we explain how to utilize RSS and tools like Twitter. Again, if you’re curious about how to easily drive traffic like “they do” Traffic Drill has downloads that give you very specific, step-by-step instructions. Anyone can do this.

Here’s another thing. One of our members was able to go from zero PageRank to a PageRank of 1 in about 5 days. In other words, he wasn’t getting any Google love but with Traffic Drill he was able to get noticed and get a Google ranking. (He also generated cash that he can directly trace to the traffic he’s getting from Traffic Drill.) There are other Traffic Drillers who have increased their traffic by 10x.

TRAFFIC DRILL IS OPTIMIZED

I think you can see why I am so excited about Traffic Drill. It works.

Inside the Traffic Drill membership web site, you’ll find a forum. You can ask questions, post comments, share tips, and of course, request links and free traffic. You also get direct access to the Rhodes Brothers. You get hands on assistance inside. And, I’m happy to say that anyone can afford Traffic Drill.

So, it works and the price is right. It’s as close to a traffic generation web site as you can get. Yes, there are 1-2 similar services “out there” but they are $127 or more. And, they are more complicated or too sophisticated. We keep our products and services simple. Anyone can join and anyone can participate.

Traffic Drill allows you to “buy” traffic, because there is price to join the membership. But, the ROI is high. So when you think about it and when you see it in action, you’ll realize that you’re getting the equivalent of traffic for pennies-per-click.

Traffic also allows you to “beg” for traffic. Hundreds of other Traffic Drillers will assist you to build up Karma and to get help with their web sites. It’s back scratching but on steroids. There’s nothing quite like this in the internet marketing world.

And lastly, Traffic Drill allows you to “borrow” traffic from other people. They can promote you to their lists. They can blog about you. They can link to your site directly. For example, you could write a short blog entry for another trusted Traffic Driller with 1-2 links back to your web site. They get free content and you get a link or two, and some traffic.

So, as you can see, Traffic Drill is optimzed to give you cheap traffic, with some begging and borrowing thrown in for good measure. I can’t tell you the entire Traffic Drill story here — so I recommend that you keep reading on the main Traffic Drill information page:

Out of necessity, I will make some assumptions. You can very easily put this entire plan into a spreadsheet and work the numbers. That is, you can create a speadsheet that has plenty of simple variables in it and adjust as you want.

Here’s what you need to do first: Generate $1 of profit. It doesn’t matter how you generate that first $1 but you need to do it. Try article marketing, affiliate marketing, or freelancing. Write a report and WSO it. It simply doesn’t matter. Just generate that first $1.

Next, focus like crazy (see: 10x Method) until you reach $100. If you can make $1 you can make $100. Do the same thing that worked again and again. Get to $100 cash in your account.

Third, invest the $100. This $100 is not for fun and games. It’s seed cash for your $1,000,000 empire. You can only spend this money to make more money. If you spend it on that caramel macchiato, then don’t ever plan on doing a JV with me. Don’t ever plan on hitting the $1,000,000 because you’re wasting your opportunity. You are just a consumer not a producer — you need to produce and invest like a wild animal on wild animal crack cocaine. Insane focus to win…

So, what do you invest in? I don’t care as long as it throws off cash every single month. You need to buy assets. For our little $1,000,000 journey let’s stick with something I love dearly: CONTENT. You really can’t own too much content. Used correctly, content is money. It’s always possible to generate cash from lot’s of content. You can sell content. You can re-sell it (think: PLR, MRR). You can use it for pulling in eyeballs; customers with a burning want or need and they have cash.

What kind of content should you buy? For this journey, let’s talk about straight up articles. The kind you’d use for a high quality blog entry or a submission to EzineArticles.

Hint: You can set up review sites in various niches quite easily. You can follow any number of methods and use any style of marketing. There’s no magic here.

Fourth, we’re going to do some math. We’re going to assume that you can buy a smashing good article (high quality and 500+ words) for $10. (This is something you can adjust up or down. I can buy content for $4-5, but that’s a topic for another day.)

So, take your $100 and buy 10 articles. That’s about 1/3 to 1/2 of a pretty decent web site. Note: You can easily set up a blog or a nice static web site using a free blogging tool and free HTML/CSS templates. This is baby food stuff you can figure out. Got it?

Hint: You’re going to set everything up as fast as possible. You might need to burn $10-20 of your first $100 on hosting and a domain. Don’t fight this. Just do it. Or, again, forget about hitting $1,000,000.

Fifth, you’re going to get your site indexed by Google. You’re going to submit your RSS feed. You going to use free services to get higher rankings. You’re going to submit some good comments on niche-related blogs. You’re going to consider generating a little more cash and joining traffic generation memberships and services, e.g., Traffic Drill. Again, this is all Internet Marketing 101.

Sixth, you’re going to repeat all of the early steps again. You’re going to generate another $100-300 and you’re going to buy more content for your site. The key is reinvesting and focusing to grow, grow, grow.

Note: These 6 steps should only take you 3-4 weeks at most. The truth is that you can do it in 3-4 days. Simply do some work for some other internet marketers. Some freelance work will get you all the seed cash you need. You can generate the seed cash offline too if you really want…

====== TAKE A DEEP BREATH

At this point you’ve done what seems like a lot of work and you’re not rich. Well, get used to it. Getting to $1,000,000 takes time. Some folks can do it extremely fast, but they are in the top 1% and mostly lucky. You’re in for a battle. It’s one you can win, but you have to be ready for a serious uphill fight. If you’re *sincere* about wanting $1,000,000 then keep reading. If not, then pack up and go home.

Listen up. There is plenty of opportunity to make $100 to $5,000 per month for part-timers. You can generate $10-100K per year without being too deadly serious. But, if you want that $1,000,000 there’s some punishment ahead. I’m just warning you.

Note: Some internet marketers will disagree with what I just said. Great! I’ll leave it at that. I welcome disagreement and logical discourse.

====== EXHALE AND GET READY

Seventh, now your niche site is fully operational. Time to really focus on the monetization and working the numbers. Sure, you could have already pulled some cash from your site, but if you haven’t this is how it works. (Note: Replace “niche site” with “blog”. It doesn’t matter.)

I’m going to assume that you know something about Google Adsense. (Experienced folks: Don’t groan. I don’t want to hear it. Just replace “Google Adsense” with Clickbank, pay per lead, eBay affiliate program, or whatever money-making special juice you use. I’m going to use Google Adsense because it’s so monkey simple.)

Assuming you put a couple of ads on each of your pages or on your blog entries, you can do something AMAZING.

What’s this amazing thing? Well, you can easily track and monitor your investment and success. (See why Google Adsense makes sense Mr. Advanced Marketing Pro? Sales metrics right at your finger tips.) You can see exactly how well you’re doing or not.

* How much does each page, on average generate?
* How much money am I making per day?
* What days are better than other days?
* How am I doing from month to month?

Eighth, you’re going to figure out what each page is worth re: Adsense. For example, let’s say that one page, on average, is worth $5 per month in Adsense revenue. This is achievable. But, again, you can manipulate this in your spreadsheet.

Your 30 page niche site generates $150 per month. ($5 per page x 30 pages, got it?) Now, I want you to think about that…

In just 2 months you’ll earn back your initial seed investment of $300. Remember that you struggled to hit the $300 mark, but now eyeballs are paying you back in just 2 months.

From the very start of your $1,000,000 quest, in just about 3 months you’ll be 100% EVEN in terms of your investment. Plus, you now have an asset that throws off, on average, $150 every single month.

Doesn’t that feel pretty good? I mean, really, that’s getting pretty close to a car payment. Do 3 months of work and you can get a FREE CAR.

Yes yes yes yes yes, I hear you. That’s not exactly how things work. It’s not “reality” but listen to me, it’s damn close. This is how internet marketing really works folks…

FREE CAR (with just 3 months of work)

You’ve got to love this game.

====== SIDEBAR START

Here’s something you must learn from this posting. Throw out all of my advice. All of it. But remember this…

I bet you would be willing to buy something from me right now. You are officially sold, my Marketing Friend. Go on, you can admit it.

The lesson? Provide the right value the right way to the right people and they will kill to buy from you.

I’m not selling anything here. Put your wallet away. But never forget the lesson I just taught you. This posting had a hidden lesson that I exposed for nothing. I just put it out there for you to devour…

====== SIDEBAR END

Where were we?

Oh yes, back to your $1,000,000. Here’s what’s next.

Ninth, you’re going to keep working and investing as if your very life depends on it. You’ll sacrifice and work like a beaten dog. You’ll smile and wake up every day ready to pound through any obstacle.

The End.

Just kidding. You’re going to take the $150 you generate each month and you’re going to re-invest in more content. And, you’re going to still work to continue to add more to the “pool” of money for buying even more content on top.

Let’s do the math…

Month 4 (remember, we’ve put in about 3 months of work at this point.)
30 pages of content –> $150 in Adsense per month –> buy 15 more pages = 45 total pages

Month 5
45 pages of content –> $225 –> 22 more pages = 67 total pages

Month 6
67 pages of content –> $335 –> 33 more pages = 100 pages (wow)

Month 7
100 pages of content –> $500 –> 50 more pages = 150 pages

Month 8
150 pages of content –> $750 –> 75 more pages = 225 pages

Month 9
225 pages of content –> $1,125 –> 112 more pages = 337 pages

Month 10
337 pages of content –> $1,685 –> 112 more pages = 449 pages

Month 11
449 pages of content –> $2,245 –> 224 more pages = 673 pages

Month 12
673 pages of content –> $3,365 –> 336 more pages = 1,009 pages (wow)

Month 13
1,009 pages of content –> $5,045 –> 505 more pages = 1,514 pages

Month 14
1,514 pages of content –> $7,570 –> 757 more pages = 2,271 pages

Month 15
2,271 pages of content –> $11,355 –> 1,135 more pages = 3,406 pages

Month 16
3,406 pages of content –> $17,030 –> 1,703 more pages = 5,109 pages

Next month you generate $25,545 from those pages. That’s right…

After 1.5 years of intense work you now generate a staggering $25K per month. Just from content, advertising, and reinvesting your profits. The power of compounding is obvious.

========= PAUSE

Now, before any Experienced Marketers bite my head off please understand that I know the limitations here. This is an idealistic model. Issues include:

1. Finding that many writers and coordinating them.
2. Editing, updating, and posting the content.
3. Potential fall off in advertising
4. Technical issues and downtime.
5. Competition or death-by-Google-exclusion or sandboxin’

There are plenty of reasons why this is complete hogwash. But, you can adjust this in any way that you want. The basic principles apply. This is a model that makes sense and folks can follow it.

========= PLAY

To make everyone happy, let’s do this. Let’s assume that you simply cannot grow beyond 5,000 pages. Fair enough, right? You just can’t. It makes this more fun…

Now you’re generating $25,000 per month. It takes work, but you’re doing it. Bravo!

Now it’s time to end the story…

Take $25K and simply divide it by $1,000,000. (I’m ignoring the fact that you’ve made money along the way, for a moment.)

$1,000,000 / $25,000 is 40. What’s the “40″ really mean? That’s 40 months. $25K per month x 40 months is $1,000,000.

To cut to the end, that’s less than 4 years — START TO FINISH — to hit $1,000,000 in profit.

…

Now, you can talk about taxes, cost of living, and anything else. I will simply respond with a “So what?” and tell you to squeeze out more profits or outsource better or do something else clever.

The point is that, roughly speaking, you can hit $1,000,000 in about 4-5 years if you’re deadly serious.

My advice? Print this out and tear it apart. Figure out why I am right and why I’m wrong. Take notes on what YOU can do. Make a plan to hit $1,000,000 starting today — knowing with full confidence that you can do it. The numbers simply don’t lie.

Hint: Keep in mind that there are many “wealth accelerators” such as JVs, spending money on high quality traffic generation services, smart outsourcing, under-exploited niches and keywords, and more.

I’m assuming plug-n-chug “take the hill” actions that aren’t very risky or interesting. It’s your job to improve on my model and get rich a lot faster, ethically and responsibly.

The best way to pay me back for this posting is to write something even better. Improve my model and tell every single marketer how you would do it. Pass this knowledge around to those people that deserve and desire success.

(My friend, this is not a dream.)

I sincerely wish that you hit one million dollars in 3-4 years, or less.

I’m not really sure why but most HTML description tags are weak. Below are some guesses why people don’t care.

First, some people just don’t understand the meta tag description tag. If you don’t understand something you don’t use it. Second, people assume that the tag is handled automagically by the blogging tool or content management system that they are using every day. Third, people don’t understand the benefits of a well-built description tag.

In this blog entry I’m going to explain some reasons why you want to spend some time crafting excellent meta tag descriptions. A big hint is that a good description tag can drastically increase your changes of search engine success.

Before I explain exactly how to use the description tag for SEO and internet marketing, I encourage you to read about it on the pages below. If you click away, remember to come back here to get some of my best tag secrets. (You do want to know my “spy” technique, right?)

• How to Use HTML Meta Tags (Search Engine Watch)
• Meta Tag Optimization Tips (ClickZ)
• Meta Tags and Usability (Search Engine Land)

There are many other meta tag description articles available. However, most of them ignore the two big tips I’m going to reveal right now.

The first meta tag secret is that you can do easy competitive research just by searching and reading through the search engine result pages (SERPs). You can see the sites, URLs, and descriptions for free. This is the magic I want to make sure you understand.

The descriptions you see on the SERPs are what the highest ranked sites are using to get Google love. It’s incredibly easy to use the words and phrases you see on the search results page. Those descriptions come directly from the HTML description tag. With this information you can easily craft incredible HTML description tags too.

But there’s more to this. The descriptions you see also give you a good idea about what keywords might be valuable and worth your research. To be very specific, you can find related words to your “core” keywords. These related words can also funnel into your latent semantic indexing plan. This is a $1,000 SEO tip that I have only shared a few times.

There’s another subtle reason why you want to have a well-crafted meta tag description. When people search for something using a keyword and they find your site on the SERPs, they will use that description to understand your site. It’s a branding thing.

Furthermore, many people first get “caught” by your title but then they read your description to make the final choice to click. Of course not all people are like this — but our research indicates that many people do behave this way. So, you want good usability of your HTML description tag.

The bottom line is that you can significantly increase your organic web traffic with smart HTML description tags. They aren’t a “magic cure” or “silver bullet” for SEO but they can give you a special edge.

• How to Survive a Financial Crisis
• The Best Internet Marketing Affiliate Program
• Stick With What Works
• What is Internet Marketing?

Being a part of a reseller program is a lot like being part of an an internet marketing affiliate program, but there are some very important differences.

As an affiliate you don’t have the level of control you have as a reseller. You also don’t have as good a rapport with the people behind the scenes. But the biggest difference is that affiliates only get a cut of the profits whereas resellers can make 100% of the money.

(Note: 10x Method affiliates make 100% but that is very unusual.)

Affiliates don’t usually pay anything. An affiliate just hands out their link to people and they hope for a sale. In contrast, the best reseller programs hand over more of the profit to their partners. They make their money by asking for a flat fee for the right to sell.

Let’s take an example of an affiliate program and a reseller program. Pretend the product cost to end customers is $20. An affiliate might be able to make 50% of the sale, or $10. If there is a sale, they make that money and that’s all there is to it.

In contrast, a reseller might pay $100 per month for the right to resell that same product. That doesn’t sound too good at first, right? But consider that the reseller can make 100% of the sale, on every sale. They become a reseller with that in mind: They earn $20 for every sale. It’s all profit.

Which is better, affiliate marketing or being a product reseller? Just do the math using the scenario above. If you make 5 sales as an affiliate you will make $50. But as a reseller, you’d lose $50. That doesn’t sound too good at all.

But wait, let’s imagine 10 sales. The affiliate marketer would generate $100 but the reseller would earn $100 too. That’s not too bad. It gets better with more sales.

How much better?

Let’s really show where reselling opportunities make sense. If there are 20 sales, an affiliate would generate $200. However, the reseller would generate $350.

Affiliates always get a cut so they do well with low sales. But, resellers do much better as sales increase. They’re pulling down 100% of the profit and it doesn’t too long to break even and do substantially better than affiliate marketers.

Don’t get me wrong. Affiliate marketing is fantastic but many internet marketers are making a bundle by being resellers. I hope you see why becoming a reseller can be very rewarding.

But, there is one huge challenge. In fact, if you’re reading this blog posting there’s good chance that you didn’t know much about reseller programs. Or, if you did know about them, you’ve run into the big problem…

There aren’t many internet marketing reseller opportunities. We recognized this challenge so we decided to put something special together for our customers and coaching students. And, it’s something that you might be able to join.

But first, let me mention one more thing. We decided that we would create something outside of internet marketing. It’s in the $30 billion weight loss niche. Did you know that over 50 million people are trying to lose weight every year? (Who’s not on a diet?)

The answer is ProHealthMind, which is a wonderful community of people who care about losing weight naturally with the help of people who care about the environment, organic foods, and loving support. There’s nothing quite like it.

The reseller opportunity is pretty simple. Access to ProHealthMind is currently $10 per month. We do all of the work. You don’t have to do anything but drive traffic to the community. It’s a reseller’s dream come true. (The sales letter is killer too; high conversion rates like all of our products.)

In any event, you can sell access to ProHealthMind. Our reseller program gives you the right to sell access, just like we do. The beauty of this program — like all top reseller programs — is that you keep 100% of the profits.

The reseller plan is very simple. Every month you pay a small fee to have the right to sell access and claim all the profits from the members as your own. After just a few members join through your reseller link you break even, then it’s pure profit after that.

Right now it takes just 5 members to get you to break even, so it’s incredibly easy to make a lot of money. The beauty is that you don’t have to do any work with the membership — you simply drive traffic to the sales page using your reseller link. Yes, it’s that easy. We handle everything.

I do have to warn you. The ProHealthMind Reseller Program is limited to just 150 people. More and more people are grabbing this opportunity, because the numbers tell the story. It’s not hard to make hundreds or even thousands every month.

Keep in mind that ProHealthMind is a membership. People pay every single month to be members. So, once they are “in” you make money every month, for as long as they stay with the membership. As the membership grows, the value grows. This is an amazing, one-of-a-kind reseller opportunity.

I’m going to apologize in advance that the opportunity might be sold out by the time you read this blog entry. There are only 150 spots available and we will sell out. If it is sold out, please contact us and we’ll put you on our waiting list.

In summary, you can now see how reseller opportunities can provide you with a lot of cash, especially when memberships are involved. Affiliate marketing is great, but reseller programs often offer superior returns for internet marketers.

This morning I went to the dentist to have my teeth cleaned. Of course I only saw the dentist for a few minutes. The rest of my time was spent with Gerry, the hygienist. She’s a great woman and loves to talk.

Before I knew it, we were talking to about the financial crisis and she was asking me how to get through it. I started talking about index funds, balancing your portfolio, regression to the mean, no load mutual funds, FDIC, and more. Then there was a deer-in-headlights look and I felt bad. At that moment I realized that she was very afraid.

Then something amazing happened. She asked if I would look at all her investment portfolio; Gerry was heading to “her guy” later in the day so the documentation was out in her car. She literally ran to her car and grabbed her IRA and investment information for me to look at. (It’s true!)

It’s astounding what people will do during a financial crisis. Fear is a powerful driver. Losing a huge chunk of your retirement in 2-3 days is painful. Fear and pain also drives unusual decisions, like people sharing intimate financial details with each other.

I told you this crisis story because it sets the stage for how I feel about it all. Like many people, I have a balanced portfolio, personal savings accounts, bonds, and more. And, like you, I care about my financial situation and the shocks in the stock market.

But –

I’m not as worried as most people. I’m going to share a secret with you. It’s something that will reward you forever if you really take it to heart and take action.

I’m very calm these days because I know that I can sell. Yes, I’m a salesman. This is very powerful and drives peace and harmony with my personal finances.

If you can sell, you can always survive. If you can sell, you can lose all of your money and still pull down cash and feed your family and pay the mortgage.

“But I don’t like to sell!”

I hear you and I understand. If you don’t like selling, then first I have to say that you probably don’t understand selling. It’s not as dirty as you might think. Selling, when done right, is simply giving people what they want for a fair price. It’s as easy as a conversation. (It’s true.)

But there’s another piece of this secret. The second part of my advice is that you need to start your own business. If you run your own business then you can survive any financial turmoil as long as all your money isn’t tied up in the stock market. It shouldn’t be!

When you own your own business you are completely in control. You can’t control the market or your customers, but you can survive dark times. In fact, when things are grim you are best positioned to strike out on your own. That point is worthy of it’s own blog posting but it’s true. You can take that to the bank.

So, in short, if you want to make it through tough financial times then you need to sell. You need to embrace the power of marketing. If you don’t know how, start learning today. Secondly, start your own business and focus on sales. Be sure that those sales translate to profits, not just pure revenue. Make money and grow.

You want to earn money as fast as possible. However, finding the right online business opportunity can take serious effort. This is 100% true even if you’re ready to drive traffic.

Unfortunately, there is not one “best internet marketing affiliate program” for a simple reason. Every person is different. We all have different skills and interests. Furthermore, some people will see opportunity where others see problems and issues.

So, allow me to narrow your focus a little bit. I’m going to assume that you’re interested in promoting products and services related specifically to internet marketing. So, I’ll assume you’re ready to promote products about article marketing, driving traffic, creating backlinks, dominating Google, using private label rights, and so forth.

If I’m correct then please keep reading. I’m going to point you to 15 different internet marketing products to help you make money online. I strongly encourage you to visit the IMsimple.com (Rhodes Brothers) affiliate marketing site:

Keep in mind that you can focus on one affiliate product at a time. You don’t have to try to sell all of them at once. In fact, we strongly recommend that you do focus.

Hint: See the 10x Method

Although there isn’t a perfect affiliate program, there are some that we really like. I’m going to point you to two examples that are really fantastic. But first, I want to explain why they are great.

I love pointing people to free videos. As an internet marketer, there’s nothing better than giving out free stuff; free ebooks, free reports, and free videos.

If YOU want to hand out a link to a free video with an incredible backend, then you have to take a look at the 10x Method affiliate program. Not only do you get great affiliate help materials (keywords, banners, email message), you just need to create your affiliate link and give it away. When people visit your link, they see a video and they are “tagged” with your affiliate ID. It’s beautiful.

By the way, with the 10x Method affiliate program you get an astounding 100% commission on a $47 product. There’s nothing like this on the internet. (We’ve been told we’re “insane” to offer this.)

Hint: See the 10x Method Reviews blog posting right now!

I have another online business opportunity for you, if you’re ready. I promised to deliver, and that’s what I plan to do!

I love residual income affiliate programs. What does that mean exactly?

In plain English, it means that you sell access to membership sites for other people. When those members sign up, you make money instantly but also every single month they stay with the membership program. This is true residual cash as an affiliate.

The Rhodes Brothers run the Simple Cash Blog which is the best (private!) internet marketing membership available. Nothing is better.

The good news is that you can sell access to the Simple Cash Blog as an affiliate. All you do is create an affiliate sales link and you can make money with this affiliate program. Just hand out that link and you’re all set.

Important: Affiliates make money on autopilot after members subscribe. Sell just once but generate income every single month. I really love residual income affiliate programs!

So there you have it. 15 products you can promote right now. Plus, now you know how to give away videos to make money as an affiliate. You just learned about generating income by selling access to a membership too.

We spend a good chunk of time explaining the importance of focus in our (free) 20-minute 10x Method video. The reason for spending so much time on focus is that most people struggle to stick to one thing.

Most folks are looking for fast and easy money.

But the truth is that making money usually takes a lot of time. So, when you find something that actually works, you need to stick to it.

Remember, most people aren’t making any money online. And, they don’t stick to one method of generating income — even when that method clearly works. Once again, this is because most folks think they should be pulling down more cash. (Read between the lines: Greed!)

The irony is that when you stick to one way of making money — once you know it works — you can pull down even more money. This is because of these three reasons:

1. It’s easier to retain customers (low cost)
2. You get more efficient with your tasks
3. You can leverage your products and skills

In a nutshell, it’s cheap to sell to existing customers compared to winning new customers. Furthermore, you get good at what you do. You might even become a guru, worth your weight in gold on some topic. And lastly, you can bundle products together if you stay focused in your domain. You can also sell updated versions of your product. They are easier to create than ones that are fresh and 100% new.

So, once you are done trying a million things, please be sure to settle down and focus. Again, I’ll recommend the 10x Method video because it not only explains the true value of focus but I also give you some concrete ideas on how to get started immediately. (Zero cost, zero risk.)
