Today the Toolman has an offer that is going to be just the deal to help some of you get your foot in the door of Online Profits! I could spill out an impressive sales pitch, or even an entire web page (a long one at that) to convince you that you just gotta have this deal. After all, if I’m not pushing for every penny, I’m leaving ‘money on the table‘ (a popular marketing line and theology). Honestly, I don’t mind leaving money on the table. I only want your money if you are enriched by your purchase. This can be in convenience, value, or happiness, etc…

The Deal – The Tools

To be successful online you need certain ‘tools’. These will do various things, automate messages, track ads, cloak links, lead capture, manage your contact list and business contacts, etc. I have been using a service for the last several years that has all these and more all in one convenient place. The service has a great track record! Now they have launched their new and improved suite of services.

Using These 77 Powerful Tactics, You’ll Generate An Unlimited Amount of Traffic To Your Websites!

If you’re an online business owner, you’re going to love what I’m going to share with you…

In fact, if you’re looking to generate more leads and sales then this is exactly for you.

If you’re a beginner struggling to get traffic to your website then read on, too.

Social media is what’s taken over traditional forms of communication online. The Internet is now run by Web 2.0 technology where website visitors and members run the content of the site.

A good example of a powerful social media website is Twitter. It is purely driven by its members. Members simply “tweet” their updates and those who are following will see their updates.

What do you think limits your online profit more than anything?

Actually it’s two things…

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and LEARNING CURVE.

I know what it’s like – You see services, products and software that you KNOW will benefit your business but it’s impossible for you to use them unless you know what you’re doing with them.

But on the other hand, learning all these things takes times, and if you’re a pro marketer time is money – cliche but true.

If you’re not yet fulltime you’re probably struggling to find time to work on your business anyway, with your job, family, the shopping, paying the bills, washing the car, and all the other things that make up our day to day lives, let alone learn essential new techniques.

But some things are pretty important for your business.

And if you’re not yet using Twitter as a marketing tool then – let’s speak plainly – you’re falling behind the competition.

Well I can help, by showing you ONLY the things you need to know about Twitter as an internet marketer.

The rest you simply don’t need.

Introducing……

The Twitter Blueprint

(continue reading…)

While surfing the other day I spotted a banner for a product that got my attention. Good job! Banner ads may normally have a small click through rate, but some are more productive than others. This one did things right.

1. The banner got my attention
2. It informed me or tweaked my interest enough that I wanted to know more, so I clicked.

That is where the banner ad campaign failed completely though.

When I clicked on the banner, I was sent to a page that said, “BannerKeyring Error: no banner on this keyring was viewed before clickthrough.” Which isn’t correct because I did see the banner…

This isn’t the only example I have….
I have seen sites in traffic exchanges that didn’t show because someone misspelled a word in the URL. I have seen people promote their login page. Typos in classified ads, text ads, etc. These take credits or money to have your ad or site seen, it cost just as much to send people to an error page as it does to your site, so why not be sure you send them to your site.

The main point being, check your ads! It is that simple, check behind yourself. Whether you are just starting online marketing or have been doing it 10 years or more, we all are human and make typos and mistakes. Wasted ad credits and money can be saved simply by taking the time to check an ad after posting it.

I keep a text file that I use constantly while promoting. It has all my current promotions, checked and verified to be correct. I copy and paste my promotions. This helps cut down on typos, but I STILL CHECK behind myself.

Happy Marketing!

Hi, I’m Average Joe Marketer. Are You Me?

NO! Go Away....

I have a product or service I would like to sell. I have decided to use the internet as one medium to spread word of my wares around. I want to spread it around good, so I use classified ads, safe lists, traffic exchanges, text and banner exchanges, maybe even the bathroom wall.

When promotions work and you make a profit, I may even upgrade at the place that works. A win/win/win for me, as an advertiser, the owner of the service I use, and my customer. We continue this relationship on a continuous basis, week after week, month after month. Because the internet constantly grows, there is a constantly growing customer and consumer base. My customer finds what they want, I make sales, the advertising outlet makes sales. A finely-oiled and tuned machine purring along…… and…..

BANG… BAM… BOOM!

Out of nowhere this ‘successful‘ marketing campaign runs into a wall and stops dead in it’s tracks.
All of a sudden an owner is upset at the owner of another product/service and that isn’t allowed to be promoted here. I understand the rights of the owner, (I own stuff) but isn’t that like biting the nose to spite the face kinda stuff??  Doesn’t matter if you are a free member or pay premium dollars to be upgraded, you are stuck in the middle of other peoples UNRELATED QUIBBLES.

I would love to know (not really) how much time I have wasted in just the last 2-3 years, adding campaigns, then deleting them, then re-adding, and re-deleting because someones ‘feelings/pride’ was hurt….. I about need a spreadsheet to keep up with what I can promote where.

NBC Announces No More Ford Ads

*( This is a sarcastic paragraph – NBC didn’t ban Ford, wonder why?)

Also if you own a Ford you are not allowed to watch NBC TV….
Yea? They might would have that right, BUT wonder why really successful companies don’t let the waves of their battles slosh their customers around ? I’m just asking…..

Paying Customers Are Gold

Paying customers are what we as business owners seek… Am I on the right track with this thinking?
So why would we make them contort, change, invest time changing ads over a personal thingie that doesn’t concern them? Are we the only supplier of this service and they will always be there? And therefore will make the changes they need to do? To infinity and beyond?

New Marketing Model

Is there a new marketing model I haven’t learned yet? Run business like a soap opera or pro wrestling event and have no concern about sloshing around the paying customer? Do we no longer value the customers money and support? Are we OK with replacing those that don’t want to take the time to bounce around and fall by the way-side? Not caring about loyally spending their money with us month after month?

Come on people! Just ’cause it’s the internet and on our computers, it’s not a game….
