Autoresponder Subscription Form for Blogs

TrafficWave owner Brian Rooney has recently started his own blog on Blogger. I am very excited about this. I often post about the autoresponder service I use at TrafficWave and how essential it is to enter direct e-mail marketing if you want to earn online for the long-term.

It is very important to build a list of subscribers via autoresponder. I know many bloggers are focused on obtaining an RSS readership to achieve high page ranks, but the fact of the matter is that many people really are not reading what you have to say. I sign to many bloggers' RSS feeds but I don't read any of them. Hate to say it but it is true, and I am certain I am not the only one.

What happens if you own 5-6 different blogs? Wouldn't it be nice to just send out one newsletter to all readers of your blogs at once vs all these various readerships? Autoresponders are very convenient and is a crucial marketing tool. In my opinion, you need to have it to succeed online.

Brian Rooney has made a post to his blog on how to place an autoresponder subscription form on your blog.

I invite you to visit his blog to learn more about the TrafficWave service and how it can help you online.

How Many Subscribers Are Actually Reading Your Mails?

If you are using an autoresponder to increase your online sales and prospects, have you ever wondered how many of your subscribers are actually reading their mails? I use the TrafficWave service for free and they have put in a great new add-on feature which will actually show you the percentage of people that are opening your mails.

Now I use to think that once somebody confirmed their e-mail address and entered my autoresponder that they would automatically read what I sent them, but I have learned this is not the case. The new add-on feature at TrafficWave has really shed some light on my direct e-mail marketing efforts, as I now know I have to create better subject lines in order to get my reader's attention.

Since I have implemented the TrafficWave service into my online business, things are starting to turn around for me. I have been list building, have a subscriber's list, am getting sales and now can also start focusing in on getting better sales conversions. Nothing like walking around in the dark.

TrafficWave offers much more than just multiple autoresponders. They have ad tracking, banner advertising, and you can have your own FFA page. You can even use their hosted lead capture page templates to start list building; so you do not need a website or blog to start building a list. AND believe it or not, they offer all this for $17.95 a month (not like some other services that charge you an arm and a leg). Better yet, you can even use the service for free if you want to participate in their affiliate program.

If you want to try out the TrafficWave service and embed an autoresponder in your blog or website, I invite you to try it out for 30 days free. They offer free trials. You have nothing to lose. You might even like it and want to continue on with it. Better yet, you may fall in love with it like I have and add it as another stream of online income for yourself.

Responsive Safelist for Internet Marketers

I am happy to post that I have finally located a halfway decent safelist internet marketers can utilize as a free member. Thanks to the ad tracking service I use at TrafficWave, I am now able to see which advertising platforms are working for me and which are not. Of the safelists I have trialed, Dusty's SafeList has proven to be a pretty good deal as a free member.

At Dusty's SafeList, I have taken advantage of the text link ads, the banner advertising, and credit mailers available to free members and have received a nice response -- it was not overwhelmingly great but there was a minimal response. Every marketing article I have ever read says that solo ads are the most effective way of getting your ad out to people; this is also available at Dusty's. However, I like to use things for free online and have no intention of upgrading my account. I would much rather use these funds else; like pay-per-click advertising on Bidvertiser, which I believe is more effective.



Whichever way you chose to market online, it is important to utilize as many advertising platforms available to you. There is no doubt that Dusty's SafeList is a keeper for me. Hope you get a chance to try it out.

Losing Lots of Money on the Internet

When I was doing a couple EntreCard drops this morning, I ran across a blog posting that made me laugh hysterically because it is so true. It is entitled "Make Money Online by Lying Your Ass Off" and you will find it at BloggerNoob.com. The author of this blog (and others) is really good. I do read blog postings and do jump around to other pages (make sure you do that deep linking) because it does help bloggers in the search engines. This blogger offers great information that will definitely hold your attention.

In terms of myself, have I made money online? I have been online for 1 year, and I can tell you I have stumbled and fallen all over the place. I did make some money here and some money there, but my bottom line is not so pretty. In fact, if I told you how much I have lost you would probably run away from trying to make money online. Maybe one day I will write an eBook about it in an attempt to save people from making the same mistakes. Funny thing is is that most people DO NOT want to hear it.

For example, the other day I was using LinkReferral and a member had left me a blog review. In turn, I game him feedback on his site, which was nothing more than an affiliate URL link. I could not give him high marks for content because the content is not his. He got his panties up in a bunch about this, and I explained to him that he should embed the affiliate link in a blog or a website or something . . just don't copy and paste the program URLs he represents because he is not doing himself any favors. Was he satisfied with that explanation, of course not -- he doesn't want to listen. He is too busy trying to make that quick buck and in the long run is going to end up losing.

How do I know this -- it has happened to me plenty of times. For example, I worked really hard promoting a program I was making a few bucks from. I had invested monies as well to promote it and had achieved almost 200 referrals. I was excited. I couldn't believe it, but then one day the program owner decided to close shop and my 200 referrals went along with him. Now this program owner went on to create 1 or 2 other programs, and guess who has my referral contact information -- it isn't me.

This is why I am devote to promoting the TrafficWave program to internet marketing beginners. If I could have those 200 referrals with me now, things could have turned out differently for me, but I have had to start all over but am a little older and a little wiser. Unfortunately, until you get burned badly, you may not see the light. And even those that do get burned badly will still not get it.

Unfortunately, one way of effective advertising online is to brag about how much you made because it gets people interested. It makes you an "expert" in your field. The article at Bloggernoob states one poster listed -0- earnings for the month. Now even though that may give you a chuckle, at least it is honest. Making money online is not an easy task. It takes time, patience, and dedication. I just wish I could turn the hands of time back because I would have a pretty nice list of prospects right now, but I too didn't listen. Live and learn.

Beginner List Builders

Beginner list builders can get excited about the TrafficWave program. It is an automated e-mail marketing program targeted to beginners. In general, to utilize an autoresponder you need to have a blog, a website, or a squeeze page. But what TrafficWave provides to the beginner are HOSTED LEAD CAPTURE PAGES. It is also easy to use and offers a free ad tracking service, banner advertising, FFA (free for all) advertising page, tutorials and support forum.

One thing that makes me cringe is when I see internet marketers displaying affiliate links or bloggers that are promoting their blogs to increase their readers but doing nothing to list build. The best way to build a subscriber's list is to offer them a free eBook or newsletter. For example, if I wanted to build a blogging subscriber's list, I would locate an eBook focused on blogging. Here is a great example of a blogger building a subscriber's list -- CLICK HERE.

The TrafficWave program offers free trials for people who would like to try out their tools - PLUS - they offer a very nice compensation program for those that would like to promote it. In fact, many promoters can end up making a monthly 4 figure income with the program in a year's time or sooner. Please CLICK HERE to obtain your free trial. If you would like it FREE for 60 days, I will upgrade your account at the end of the trial period. The cost of the TrafficWave program is $17.95 a month but many users end up utilizing it for free if they share it with a friend or two.

Beginner list builders, this is a great opportunity to start making your own "money in the list" at no cost to you.

Forum Marketing

Forum marketing; if you haven't ventured into it you really should; especially if you are trying to make money online. I have noted many bloggers hang out in blogging communities but not too many venture over into the make money forums. This is a way to get added exposure to your blog.

When you register to be a member of any forum, you will be given a control panel and in this control panel you can upload pictures and many other things, BUT the most important thing you can do is fill out the signature line section. This is where you are going to place your blog URL and people do look at them. Why? Because they want to check you out; they want to see what you are about especially if you are new to that particular forum community.

Some people when they first go into forums are afraid to post to them. I don't blame them. I was scared to death myself when I first started. Make sure you read the posting rules for each forum if you are new to forum marketing because you may unknowingly break a rule. I have had a hand slap before for posting in the wrong section or for doing something else I had no idea I was doing wrong. Jump around the threads of each forum and find something of interest you can post to and keep doing it. In time you will begin networking and meeting other like-minded people.

I do many types of internet marketing but by far forum marketing is my favorite because it can become very social. I have developed a circle of internet marketing friends through the forums. It is nice to have. You don't always feel so isolated when working online.

The main forum I work out of is the Money Maker Group forum or MMG forum. I am currently working with a group in the "Teambuilder Section" of the forum for the TrafficWave program. TrafficWave program supplies THE most important tool any internet marketer can have and that is an autoresponder. Any successful marketer online will have one. Come visit me at MMG and see what I do; just look for Annie.

Get your toes wet in forum marketing; it will gain your blog new exposure and you could end up making some new online friends at the same time. Yes, I know the picture of the dog has nothing to do with forum marketing, but I thought it was cute and just stuck it in there.

Bloggers Not List Building

The majority of bloggers are concerned about their RSS feed, their Technorati ranking, and their backlinks to obtain a great pagerank and receive potential traffic from the search engines. However, the one thing that I keep noticing is that bloggers are not list building. I come across many website owners as well who are not doing this. This is just as important as the above-mentioned factors if you plan to earn money online for the long-term.

As you know, not every reader of your blog or website is coming to take you up on your offer. It is important to offer that reader something other than asking them to sign for your RSS feed, give you a Digg, etc. in order to stay in contact with them. If you have an autoresponder embedded into your site, you can offer your readers a free eBook, a free sample, free EntreCards, etc. in order to have them submit their information to you. This is list building, and by doing so you are able to send out a newsletter or a HOT PRODUCT announcement to your subscribers. This is a great way to do business with people that would have exited your site and never looked back.

The free report I offer on this blog is actually a 13-page report that is delivered to each subscriber one page at a time over the course of 20 days. I can tell the autoresponder when to deliver and who to deliver to. I can use my WYSIWYG editor to create some great-looking sales letters. I am able to transfer subscribers from one autoresponder to another. If you are not into the appearance of an autoresponder setup on your site, you can also have people subscribe via e-mail. This is what mine would look like if I used it here anabella.DEFAULT@info.trafficwave.net

I am also able to use my autoresponder for FREE. I pay nothing for it due to the compensation program at TrafficWave. Most autoresponder programs only offer a commission program to their members, but TrafficWave offers much more so that you can actually make a long-term residual income. Many just use the TW tools and pay $17.95 a month for them and others promote them to partake in the earning opportunity.

If you are a blogger that would like to trial an autoresponder, I can offer you a free trial with the TrafficWave program. TW not only offers multiple autoresponders and WYSIWYG editor for sales letters. It also offers free ad tracking, free hosted lead capture pages, free banner advertising, and a free FFA (free for all) advertising page for you to use. It is very easy to use. To get the autoresponder embedded into this blog, all I did was copy and paste a code that TrafficWave provided me and I made sure my sales letters were all set up should anybody want my free report.

As I said above, I can offer you a free trial with the TrafficWave program for 30 days. If you do not like it and feel it is not for you, you simple unsubscribe and you are done with it. Bloggers need to list build in order to earn more in less time. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to play around with these tools and see for yourself what they can do for your online success.

If you CLICK HERE you will see a listing of the TrafficWave autoresponder features. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can click on the 30-day free trial button and get yourself set up. This doesn't cost you anything and you will have free access to the TW tools.

Money is in the List

Money is in the list. How many times have you heard that? Too many I am sure. And have you done anything about it? Have you started building your own list yet? If not, why? I am sure you have the same excuses I have -- it costs too much, it looks too complicated or I don't have the time. I have plenty of more excuses on why I have failed to start building my own list, but now that I have found the right program to do it with, all of my previous excuses look pretty lame.

Why is list building so important? How many times have you seen claims by others online that they made instantaneous money in 7 days or something close to that? I am confident you have seen it a bit. When you see this type of headline, it grabs your attention because you want to listen to an expert. You want to make that kind of money too. Now what the expert wants you to do is buy into whatever he or she is selling, but what they are not telling you is that it had nothing to do with the program they are promoting but the big HUGE list they have been building that created this wealth for them. YES -- the money is in the list and you do not need a website to start building one.

TrafficWave is the program I have come to join after much research. I joined it for the following reasons:
1. The program comes compact with autoresponders, lead capture pages, FFA pages, banners, training articles and videos, support forum and hosting service.
2. The program offers a 30-day free trial, which allows you the opportunity to use it hands on without committing to it. This is definitely where this program is a step-up above the rest because this free trial features highlights its matrix buster program.
3. You can make money with TrafficWave 2 ways -- through its commission program (called a FastTrack bonus) and create short-term and residual long-term income through its 3X10 matrix compensation program. By promoting the TrafficWave program you can not only utilize this service at no cost but can also create a nice income.

For further information on the free trial offer and to see how you can start building your own profitable list and also earn from the TrafficWave program,
