For most people failure is a form of self sabotage.
Having a boss and working 9-5 is their comfort zone. They think they want a different life but as soon as that network marketing check does not come every 2 weeks like clockwork, they give up.

They don’t understand the difference between exchanging time for money and exchanging time for results.
Not everyone will succeed and not everyone will fail. It’s just they way things are in life – everything is in balance. It’s a matter of which category you choose to fall into.

Do Traffic Exchanges Work?

Traffic exchanges are one of the most inexpensive effective ways to promote online.
If you put work into them, you could even use the free versions.

There are plenty of them out there to choose from, some more effective than others.

  • Hit2Hit
  • Fast Freeway
  • TrafficG
  • WebMaster Quest
  • Easy Hits 4U
  • TS25
  • Traffic Meet
  • Advertising Knowhow
  • Traffic Swarm
  • I Love Hits
  • Traffic exchanges work best if you have a product that is informational, or an ebook, or something that would help people create more exposure for their business.
    They don’t really work for wellness products and for most affiliate programs.
    It’s always good to remember that everyone using traffic exchanges is already in a business so most likely they will not join another unless the business you advertise it’s a service that will help them gain more exposure online.

    However, traffic exchanges are very time consuming, so if you choose to use them you must be very persistent and accumulate a lot of credits in order to see results.
    One traffic exchange that worked for me was Traffic Swarm.
    Remember that if you join TrafficSwarm, you’ll have to accumulate at least 5000 credits before your site will be shown often enough.

    And then, you have to be persistent and get credits every single day.
    If you have more than one website to promote, promote them one at a time, otherwise your credits will be stretched short between the links you promote.
    If the traffic exchange you choose has a profile option, upload a picture of yourself . People have a photographic memory and if you promote on that specific site for an extended period of time they will remember you.

    As you know, online  businesses come and go all the time. Some of the traffic exchange members might be looking to join something else six months down the road.
    That is where you come in. If you’ve been active for the past few months, you are already a familiar face, someone they might consider joining.
    You’ve been there long enough, advertising the same opportunity. That is proving that what you do is working.

    Bill Gates Is Sharing His Fortune!

    Sorry, folks. Microsoft and AOL have not merged, they’re not conducting an email beta test, nor has Bill Gates decided to share his hard-earned fortune with people who forward silly chain letters.

    Hucksters are at it again; instead of potentially life-threatening Nigerian 419 scams disguised as money-laundering schemes, this one promises generous payments from Bill Gates, Microsoft, and AOL. All you have to do to is forward an email, sit back and collect a couple hundred bucks per email address – NOT!

    I’m sure some of you received an email that claims that Bill Gates of Microsoft is “sharing his fortune” with those who forward the email to others (a chain letter that’s been circulating since at least 1999)

    According to the bogus email, these corporate giants are conducting an “e-mail beta test” to ensure that “Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program.” Supposedly you will be paid up to $245 per email address to which you forward, with pyramid payouts that continue to provide additional income each time the forwarded email is forwarded. There’s even a personal note at the bottom promising “You are bound to get at least US$10,000.00.”

    The Money From Microsoft giveaway hoax is one of the most prevalent email hoaxes on the Internet. There are a number of versions of this hoax, all claiming that Microsoft CEO, Bill Gates, will give away money or other benefits in exchange for forwarding emails. In spite of thorough public debunking over several years, people continue to forward these silly emails in the vain hope that Bill will share his fortune.

    This aging hoax is still circulating and apparently still convincing email recipients all around the planet that Bill Gates and AOL will send them a stack of money simply for passing on an email. The only way to “track” such an email would be to embed some sort of hidden code in the email. Even if Bill did decide that “sharing his fortune” was something that he wanted to do, I’m pretty confident he wouldn’t go about it in this way. In any case, tracking an email in the way described would raise all sorts of privacy issues. There have been several hoax emails that refer to this email tracking concept, all of them equally nonsensical.

    Official statement from Microsoft:

    REDMOND, Wash., May 12, 1999 – Recently an email has been circulating on the Internet about a new “email tracking system” from Microsoft.

    As you may have suspected, this is a hoax and did not originate from Microsoft.

    Microsoft does try to investigate the source of these hoaxes and take appropriate action. However, many times the hoaxers take elaborate steps to shield their true identities and we cannot identify them. Privacy and security are very important to us here at Microsoft, and we work every day to build great software for the Internet that keeps information safe, secure and private.

    We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you.


    Official statement from Bill Gates:

    Even more annoying than spam, in some respects, are hoaxes. I’m acutely aware of this because my name was recently attached to a hoax email message that was widely distributed.

    People embellished the fraudulent email over time, as it was forwarded from electronic mailbox to electronic mailbox, but an early version read this way:

    “My name is Bill Gates. I have just written up an e-mail tracing program that traces everyone to whom this message is forwarded to. I am experimenting with this and I need your help. Forward this to everyone you know and if it reaches 1000 people everyone on the list will receive $1000 at my expense. Enjoy. Your friend, Bill Gates.”

    The bogus message was widely forwarded, which surely led to some disappointment from people who hoped to receive $1,000 for passing along what was essentially a chain letter.

    – From “On Spam: Wasting Time on the Internet,” published in 1998

    I remember a story by Anthony Robbins.
    He said that is the beginning of his career he met a homeless man that asked him for 25c .
    He asked the homeless man if 25c is all he needs. The man answered :
    ”Yes, 25c is ALL I need” so he got 25c.
    Mr. Robbins lesson was about ”You get exactly what you ask for”

    Set your expectations high and be specific.
    For example, if you want money, don’t just say ”I want money in the future”
    Set a desired amount by a specific date, write it down and act like you already have it in your possession.

    Without being specific and really knowing your ”why” you will not receive anything.
    And make sure to be thankful for what you already have.
    How can you ask for more if you don’t appreciate what you already have?

    Marketing a product or service is challenging to say the least.
    You present your business to hundreds of people and most of the time you get no results.

    We definitely have to have ”thick skin” these days when marketing online and offline.

    There could be many reasons to why we don’t get results.
    Here is the one main reason why people choose not to take a look to what we have to offer:
    We present it the wrong way.

    Here is a great tip I got that made a huge difference for me :
    Always keep in mind that nobody that ever bought a hammer actually wanted a hammer. They wanted a hole.
    We have to understand what people really want when they join a business. They don’t want a business, what they want is time freedom, financial freedom, more time with their family, to be healthier etc…
    So those are the things we have to present to them, not how great the company is, how many products have been sold in the past 10 years or how great the CEO is.

    When you come across promoting the company or the product people are not interested. You cause the salesman alarm to go off in the first 30 seconds Tom Big Al Schreiter would say. Anything you say after the alarm goes off  does not matter.

    What you want to do is find out what that person’s goal is, what they are looking to accomplish, what their need is.
    Once you know their ”why” then you present your business or service as a tool to achieve that ”why”.
    Present it as a vehicle that will take them where they want to be.

    Or maybe you try to sell a product that will change their health for the better.
    Start with the benefit not with the ingredients of the product and not by telling them how much research was done on it.

    I’ve learned from Mike Dillard to say ‘’so what?”  after I’ve made a statement. If the answer to that does not make sense to you, then don’t use that statement.

    People don’t care about the name of the doctor involved in the research study, or about how many years were spent in developing your ”the next Microsoft” service. All people care about is ”what’s in it for me”

    So don’t ever try selling a hammer, try selling the hole instead.
