Virtual boss, real boss

Do you like your boss? One of the sweetest sides of the online job is "be your own boss".So many people use this phrase succesfully in their campaign. When we work online, we have the freedom to choose our job time, to work as crazy or to be almost passive some days...there arent rules and norms here. I am a free spirit and also workacholic. Mad combination, but it works:-)
The problem comes when in most teams in the traffic exchanges the maddness is for numbers. Get big numbers, get them NOW, get them EVERY WEEK... And we often forget that the people are much more important then the numbers. I left the next team in my favourite traffic exchange because of something very simple. "MAKE THEESE NUMBERS"-said the demanding leader there and even wanted to explain her the reasons not to complete the weekly norm. Pardon? My respect to the ambitions of the leaders of some teams, but they cross too often the slim line. We are alive people, i will never be tired to remind it...again and again... We are not machines for numbers / some call them bots:P/ We sleep, we eat, we have our daily problems...and we have the FREEDOM to choose our time online and how much of it to dedicate to our marketing and surfing.
And the leaders who are too bossy forget something: this is INTERNET. They are not our real bosses...they are just online creators of something imaginary. And every imaginary thing can be easily turned into a dust.

No more teams, thank you. Sick and tired of "BOSSES"!

Let`s start the week with smile:-)

The way we think predicts the situations. If we are pesimists, then we attract the malchance, including in our job. So let`s start our positive week trying to change something small and simple. For example: our clothes. Let`s forget about the strict business clothes -they make us to look solide and trustfull, but hide our individuality behinds the masks of the grey tones.
Well...this is online job. No need to be so official. Let`s try the magic of the colors and test how this influences our mood and success.
White clothes: suggest clean mind and emotions. Innocence. New beggining. If you start the week with white-this means desire to leave the past behind and to open the door for a new opportunity. If you wear white long time -you can feel lack of originality and fresh ideas.
Black clothes: strictness. Mask. Self-discipline and control of your emotions. You dont need this color if you work at home. Dont supress your emotion, dont hide them. Too much black clothes leads to depression and even desperation.
Red clothes: flow of energy and inovation. Use it. Be brave if this fits to your temper. Take some risks. Make experiments. Be aggressive in your promotions. Fortune smiles to the brave ones. Too much red clothes for too much time makes you exausted, so-dont abuse.
Green clothes: Healing color. Pragmatism. Very good for job. You can work and feel relaxation. More logic in your desicion then intuition. Good color if you need to analyze your business ideas and to create strategy. Too much green -too much realism - you miss some more improvisation in your actions. And you are not so brave to risk. You hold on the traditions and the old one.
Blue clothes. Good concentration and intuition. Your emotions are in harmony with your intelect. Too much blue for too long time - you can become passive and easily tired. Lack of enough energy.
Violet clothes. Not good for business. It`s spiritual color.
Pink clothes. You attract love, sympaties and protections. Cool...you need them when you want to find a lot of people. The only problem is that the pink color makes you careless, a bit little childish and shows lack of enough reliability. Sorry.
Yellow clothes. Self-confidence, strong mental power. You feel smart. Bad side of the color: selfish position and lack of enough empathy to the others.
Orange clothes. Combination between yellow and red. Good for short time. Too much orange for too small time exausts the others and the results are not the same.
Rainbow smile for you:-)

Happy Easter:-)

Just a small number people know that there are two Easters- the official one is now, the catholic one. But the Ortodoxal Christians celebrate Easter a week earlier. So before our Ortodoxal Easter, here in Bulgaria we celebrate the Day of the Flowers.
Happy name day to all of you who have floral names:-)
You can use the hollidays for relax and to forget about the money making programs and all this hard work to recruit. But the other side of the coin shows that this is the time when more people have time for surfing online. And you need to do something to stimulate them. Many sites use interesting promotions, they include the Eastern motives in them, for example: click the egg for reward...
Be creative. The Easter ideas are very popular worldwide. Change the design of your site, insert funny emoticons and pics, think about something special to celebrate the holliday.
Good luck:-)

Amigo Clicks

This is old program, but i joined right now. And i would like to share my good hopes. There are some upgrades for several bonuses. You can use only PTC option: there are arround 150 paid to click ads daily. You can use the SuperClick exchange. They pay 20 cents for surfing 100 sites, with limit of 300 sites daily. This amount can be much higher:2 dollars for 100 sites, but the super premium membership is too expensive indeed.
You will get some paid emails too. You can use the click exchange as traffic exchange and to promote your site. There are also games and tickets. Pay to promote option.
Interesting site indeed. When i reach my minimum for payout -i will inform you for sure if they pay or not.
Join Amigo Clicks and let`s earn together.

Hits and wealth

If you like Ad-ventures4u.com and OrangeMoon`s money cycler- you will surely find something familiar. This site is interesting combination between advertising and money rotator.If you upgrade yourself for 10 bucks / one-time payment/ -you can promote your site and they will deliever to you traffic from many traffic exchanges without you to surf like crazy:-) The money cycler works as matrix. When you purchase 1 position - you are in a row of 4 people. At every new 4 paid members/ reffered by you or by anybody else/ the first in the row gets 25 dollars. 15 of them go directly for you, other 10 renew your position in the line.The members rotate. You earn again...and again...the only task you must perform is to attract more people to join and upgrade. It`s simple and think, effective.
You can purchase more positions or ultimate membership.But dont risk too much money in the beggining. Give a try, make a small investition of 10 dollars and see if this is ok for you or not.
I have been in some cash generators and MLM scheme, but this is different because of the Traffic Exchanges they work with. You can use tracking link when promote your site and test how many traffic they actually deliever.
Actually i joined here because they use Paypal. Most cyclers work with the other processors.
Let test this program together. Follow the link and JOIN

The key is simplicity

I am in a period of boredom. I see so many programs and think that all of them are one and the same. It`s a paradox indeed: in the sea of the paid information i miss information. Trying to be innovative and creative-sometimes the programs we see at theese ads are so complicated that it`s hard to understand them. Yes, before to join-all need more information, but can we really make this information communicative and easy for the readers abroad? The language of the Internet marketers is specific, it`s almost a slang. And each slang targets certain group. The targeting is important, of course, but it puts a limit. Do you want MORE sign-ups? Your key is simplicity! Be clear. Use simple words and simple methods even when you promote combination of programs. Dont forget: you communicate with large group and different people from all over the world. So your task as marketer is to find the right message. And it`s simple. Most of the smart things are simple. Dont you think so?

Back again to GDI

GDI was my first program when i decided to try myself as promoter. Probably i will renew my campaigns there. This site is with very good reputation and traditions, so there are no doubts that they are scammers. Many other programs work with them. A lot of people online promote them and rank it positively.
You pay 10 bucks mounthly for using their domain for your site. Including technical support and other advances. You use also site builder for making sample site if you havent any. This is really nice opportunity for people who are not web designers and cant pay for creating their own site. To make and support business site is something expensive. You can have everything there for 10 dollars mounthly.
If you create a downline -you get 10% every mounth from each of them. And also from their downline. This matrix can be very effective indeed. If you use also the marketing advices and tools of Viral Pond - it will work.
Give a free try here. Good luck.

Spring time! Time for cleaning!

How often do you change your programs? Do you easily leave something just because of the lack of results? Many people say that the key to success is the loyalty. If you are dedicated to something, if you work hard...the results will come -early or lately.
Ok.I agree. Nothing in the online business happens so easily and quickly as the 90% of the ads promise to us. Even when we invest some money-we must never expect that the others will do the work for us. Sure you know how painfull job is to promote a program and to get just some almost inactive sign-ups. From other point of view we need intuition and some reevaluation of our programs. Do all of them work? Do we get enough money for the job done? And if we see that the program is useless- then we must not have any doubts to quit it and to start something new. It`s like the old house stuff...too many things at home and we dont want to send them to the trash just because of sentimentality, lazyness or habbits.
But we MUST do this cleaning! Come on. It`s spring time, time for fresh programs, innovations, something better.
Make a list with the programs you are in. Create a table with some important questions and answer with yes or no. And later see the results. If your negative answers are more then the positive ones- send this program to the trash. NOW!
Happy spring cleaning:-)

It was too nice to be real!

Just saw the last news about Revolutionary Traffic. They cancel their promotions, their payments, their subscriptions...almost everything. Let quote :

Sad Days for Revolutionary Traffic

April 5th, 2009

Well after hundreds of hours of effort and great difficulty keeping our servers up.

It has become apparent that I have chosen a failed business model.

The idea may have been sound but my judgement was not. Giving way to much money at the start and again having the server issues we have had, has made Revolutionary Traffic unsustainable. We have paid out thousands and yet have thousands of request with not near enough coming in to cover these request.

One would have hoped that once free members had been paid they would have upgraded their accounts, they did not. Many of our Site Partners (who have been paid) have had their subscription payments fail. And so it goes.

Now to address my valued Site Partner all I can say is that if you have made more money with Revolutionary Traffic then you have paid in Great we unfortunately will not be able to pay you any more, to those who have joined recently and have yet to be paid we apologies and hope that some of the traffic provided has paid off some how. And Your monies will be refunded ASAP. All Subscriptions have or will be cancelled, and all payment buttons have been removed. The site will remain open as a traffic exchange for those wanting to use it for such purpose.

I truly wish this site would have worked out for everyone involved.

Best of luck to all of you.

Dan

Revolutionary Traffic


Sure all of us are very disapointed to hear it. I spent some days hard working to promote this Traffic Exchange everywhere. I even spent some of my personal money to made a serious promotion hoping that i will get return of all my efforts. Dont speak about the long, long hours spending in the different traffic exchanges for advertising credits. And...bummm, here is the reality. The disasterous one! But this reminded me to keep my mind cold at the future. I cant call this guy Dan and his traffic exchange scam...actually it wasnt. But a very big part of us are dreamers and we are ready to believe in the fantastic stories we see sometimes online.
Well...the life goes on. And nothing happens without a reason. So this bitter lesson was learnt.

Revolutionary Traffic: April`s promotion

This traffic exchange is new, but really ambitious...They paid me once at their last promotion: 210 sites for 1 dollar. It was really a hit. Now let us see their promotion for April:

Free Members Surf 110 Sites
Click on Prize Link for .50 cents
Per Day.

Site Partners Surf 110 Sites
Click on Prize Link for .50 cents
Per Day


This sucks, i thought at the beggining. All surf for 50 cents 110 sites- where is my profit then? Then more: now the daily limit is 200 sites. It becomes worse... This is traffic exchange at all!!! People come for MORE traffic, not for some credits only. And the simple logic shows when you are upgraded as i am, to have NO limits. Let them pay 50 cents for 110 sites, ok, but i want unlimited credits as a result of my unlimited surfing...
I even thought to quit my upgrade and to be not so active at the future. BUT! See the delicious side of the April promotion:

Show Traffic Exchange Referral
Splash Page or Main Page
For 1/4 cent per unique View.
Plus 5 cents per New Active Referral.

That`s mean actually that they pay you 1/4 cent for EACH exposure of your refferal page. I made a test at some traffic exchanges and from it i have 4 additional bucks for 2 days. This means that if you are active surfer and promoter- you can make really impressive results and be ready for payment / 20 bucks/ very, very soon. And dont forget: this is immidiately paying site.
Dont miss this promotion. Click here , upgrade yourself and start to promote...and promote...and promote. Of course, you will get your daily bonus / 50 cents/ from your 110 surfed sites and you will get your credits too.
I am really curious what will be my mounthly cash for this promotion:-)

The responsibilities of the leader

When you are in team- even online one- you must be more psychologist then a dictator. As the Traffic Exchanges include some elements of game -i will try to consider the things from a point of view of a gamer / i am more a gamer then a pro-marketer/. I have been a leader of top teams ready to do everything to win, even to use brutality. I have been a leader of loosing teams and know some of the mechanisms quite well. If one leader is too gentle- he risks to have a lot of passive people who will use his compromises forever. If one leader is too aggresive- he will loose respect very soon/ remember from the World History: all the dictators`victories are just temporary and they loose everything at the end, including their armies and life/. So in the money-making games the leaders who dont know how to gather and keep loyalty -are not winers in long term plan.
When we stimulate our referrals to stay active -we give them free upgrade, some rewards and etc. But one leader works with more then refferals. And this needs something more then some upgrades, credits and etc.
It`s so simple: the key is COMMUNICATION. Talk. Be in touch. Dont accept your team as tools to your success. Never forget that they are people and sometimes need to hear from you, to be encouraged, to show them that you care.
The real boss is a politic. If you have no time or you are not in mood, dont leave your team allone and to guess what happens. This is Internet and actually you dont know theese people, but you must find at least 5 minutes to explain, to say hi. The lack of information produces doubts and you dont want them unsure.
Dont think that you are GOD. Be ready to appology if you are wrong. Dont be arrogant. Yes, i know, the power is a narcotic, but this is only illusion. And allways there is someone BETTER then you.
When you choose a new member -try to understand him better. Find some minutes to understand something more about him, including his surfing habbits. This will help you to know sometimes if and how he/she can support the team or to guess the reasons for his lack sometimes.
Before to decide to kick a member -analyze his potentials. The statistics mean nothing. They can be easily made up and down. But if the person is friendly, loyal, shows interest, help the others, gives initiatives...he deserves his chance to stay.
If you kick a member - find some minutes to explain it. Even shortly. Thank him/her for the good job. Leave the door half-open. Who knows, one day you will need him again...
The fatal mistake some leaders do is to replace the members of the team without any explanation. Silently. This is insult. Complete lack of understanding the social psychology. You loose a member. You win an enemy or at least a person who will accept you as somebody who doesnt deserve enough trust.
Do you trust your leaders enough? Why yes? And why dont?
Hope to hear your comments:-)

Business astrology

If you have read at least once a typical horoscope column -you know that the Taurus people are solide investitors, the Capricorns are good in making strategy and analyze and etc. Actually this is just a stereotype. The horoscope is something unique and there are some common features, but they are also modified by the individuality of each of us.
Business + astrology? Are they compatible and what is the place of this entry at one blogg- done with the idea to make some money.
Actually the topic is curious. Some elements in our chart shows our good and bad characteristics in the business and job. For example Mercury, it disposition and relations with the other planets shows our way to communicate, to spread our ideas and to get practical results of it / if we make analyze of the horoscopes of some of the best marketers online -probably they will have strong and harmonic Mercury/. Jupiter shows our possibility to make global agitation and propaganda, to gather potential investitors and to make a BIG money. Saturn`s positions shows reserves, small investitions or even no investitions, but a good organization in a long term aspect and cool mind. Venus loves the money, attracts them, but also spends them quickly and spends more then earns...
Many people before to start a business, new job - consult astrologers about the most proper moment to do it. And this is not blabla. This kind of horoscope demands a lot of work and really deep analyze before the professional to give it advice.
There is also branch of the astrology called business/ financial/ astrology. The astrologers there analyze the mundane events at the business world, make prognoses and etc. Sure they have a very solide and interesting explanations about the reasons for the economical situation today.
I can talk about it a lot. But...oh...this is money-maker blogg at all:P
