But I my hope is to not to just pay you once. I want you to be earning commissions consistently! That’s the difference between having some extra spending cash and experiencing a complete lifestyle change.

When I say lifestyle change, it can even be a few hundred dollars a month. How much would your life change if you knew you would start making just $300 extra each month?

The odds are most online marketers are losing out on a ton of cash by not building the foundation of your business first. Making some cash online is great, but knowing it will come in each and every month is just pure bliss.

Here is how to prevent the cash from leaking out of your pockets before you ever get a chance to see it:

1. Commit – You can’t swim with just your toes in the water. Make the commitment to succeed with internet marketing and dive into the pool. This doesn’t mean to make rash decisions like quitting your day job or spending your life savings. Mentally, you must commit. If you are not committed to success, the odds are you’ll never experience it.

2. Invest In Yourself – Are you willing to skip your favorite tv show to read about money making tactics, traffic generation, list building, or learning basic HTML? Can you dedicate some of your leisure time now to create a lifetime of freedom later? Are you willing to skip out on going out to a pricey dinner or the movies once in a while, so you can pay for that website hosting or autoresponder service that has the potential to pay you back 100x more? Stop throwing away your resources, invest it and make it grow.

3. Discover – Take action and discover what it’s like to be in the trenches. You’ve been educating yourself, now it’s time to test your skills and discover what you have learned. You’re going to see small successes and lots failures. Learn from your mistakes and the experience of others, and continue onward.

Follow those steps and stop losing out on the cash you could be making.

Everyone is trying to grab your attention, tells you you need to do “this” to make money, and then they try to sell you the next great something.

I’ve struggled, bought products that are just awful, been literally ripped off, and made lots of mistakes. Sound familiar? Well I’ve been there too! What I discovered was there IS light at the end of the tunnel… but you have to be willing to take that journey.

Making some extra cash (or a lot of cash) is more realistic when you think about it. If you make just one sale a day at $20, that is about $600 a month. When you pull in just three sales a day at $20, that’s $1,800 a month. That’s a lot of extra pocket money for most people!

So here’s how to get on the fast track to real results.

When I say real results, I mean to start making money from home whether you’re at your computer or not. That means you having more time. And enjoying life a little bit more.

The trick lies in a quote by author, Agatha Christie:

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started”

That’s it! So what I dare you to do is to just start taking action. You will never see any results buying product after product without execution. So here’s some easy action steps:

1. Start doing something – anything – that you think might help you towards making money online.
2. Of course try to take intelligent actions. There’s lots of advice on this blog as well.
3. You might make some mistakes or do the wrong thing. It’s ok as long as you’re learning from it.
4. Take note of your successes, no matter how small it is. That could be a sign you’re moving in the right direction.
5. No idea where to start? What would I suggest? Earn some credits at top advertising sites, and start advertising something. I recommend building your list with squeeze pages for the best earning potential, but if you want to do affiliate links go for it… just get something started!

I would love to hear your thoughts or experiences!

Main Article – Flood Your Blog With Traffic … At Will!

Blogging has been a recent phenomenon that’s taken the internet by storm.

Some people do blogging for fun or to make some extra cash. Some people even make their entire living just from blogging!

I want to make a disclaimer that I’m not some blogging “guru”, but I am always reading and studying internet marketing. Naturally, stuff like blogging comes up fairly often, so I’ve read quite a bit of stuff on blogging and marketing online.

With that said, there are a ton of ways to get traffic to your blog. There’s SEO (search engine optimization), blogging communities (technorati, mybloglog, etc), social networking, blog commenting, blog directories, and tons of other stuff.

They all work! For me personally, I’m all about getting the MOST results for as little effort as possible.

This is how *I* drive traffic to my blog with one simple method…

BUILD YOUR LIST!

That’s it! In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and say this would be my answer for most struggling internet marketers.

First let me reveal how I do it, and then why.

1) I create a squeeze page where people can opt in to my mailing list. I’ll usually offer something of value to them, like a free ebook or membership.

2) Then I send traffic to that squeeze page using traffic exchanges, credit based safelists, and viral list builders. I also kind of (as in almost never) do other stuff like social networking or blog commenting, but only if I’m really…really…. really bored, haha. If you’re in a niche outside of Internet marketing, find hotspots where people from your niche would go like forums, popular blogs, and social networking groups.

3) I also naturally get search engine traffic without even doing fancy SEO stuff. If my blog is about internet marketing, I’ll tend to always use keywords about internet marketing anyway, so either way I still get traffic from search engines without any extra effort. But of course if you do your keyword research too, you can enjoy even more free traffic.

4) Then when I make a new blog post, I tell my mailing list subscribers about it.

And that’s how I get traffic to my blog.

So why do I do it this way?

First, it doesn’t take me any extra effort to promote my blog, because I’m always building my mailing list. And YOU should be too. Click here for my recommended autoresponder.

It’s also a good way to remind people that your blog even exists. Lets face it, we’ve all got busy lives and sometimes things will slip our minds. You don’t want people to forget about your blog, so it’s always nice to send them a little friendly reminder and let them know when you put up a new post.

Promoting your blog to your list is a GREAT way to build a relationship with your readers. Sometimes people want to know that you’re more than a marketer, they want to know what kind of person you are. Sending them to your latest blog post with actual info is a nice change of pace from just emailing them whenever you want to sell them something.

Using a list also makes your blog “Google Slap Proof”. Huh? Basically every now and then Google changes their search engine algorithm (basically a math formula). I’ve read SO many times about people who have spent months or years optimizing their websites/blogs to get on the first page of Google. Countless hours of hard work … and then *SLAP*, Google changes the formula and you’re now listed on like page 10…

Well guess what, if you have a mailing list, it doesn’t really matter where your blog ranks in the search engine! You just send out an email like you’ve always done.

And the best thing about this method is that it doesn’t actually take me any extra work. If you do have the time, then sure go out there and do that extra stuff I listed for more traffic to your blog. If time isn’t quite a luxury you have yet, then you might want to give my method a try.

I know I covered a lot of stuff today and jumped around a bit, so if you have a question, just leave a comment and I’ll try to get ya an answer.

This is actually a two part series. Next time I’ll tell you something else about blogging and how it can make you extra cash.

In the mean time, here’s my recommended action steps for more blog traffic:

1) Build a squeeze page to get people to join your mailing list. You can make them for free at Instant Squeeze Page Generator if you’re not sure how to do it.

2) Whenever you make a new blog post, let your subscribers know!

See that wasn’t hard was it?

So how are you getting traffic to YOUR blogs?

I don’t really like doing stuff like writing articles, SEO, link building, social bookmarking, adwords, and all those other “traditional” traffic methods. Don’t get me wrong, they work, but those methods aren’t quite for me.

I got my start thanks to free traffic websites and I’ve discovered secrets from some of the best in the business.

In case you don’t know what a credit based safelist is, it is basically a membership website where you exchange emails with other members. When you sign up, you get to email other members. And in exchange, they get to email you. Members have an incentive to read your emails because they earn credits for viewing your website.

Today I’m going to share with you my stupidly simple formula for successful advertising at credit based safelists.

What do I mean by successful? I mean anywhere from 5-20 signups or opt-ins every time I send out my mailings.

So here’s the basics of it…

First, you need to build your mailing list. They either need to be signing up at your websites or on a professional autoresponder like Aweber. This is the key, because once someone is on your mailing list, you can email then whenever you want. Is there a new program you want to tell them about tomorrow? 3 months from now? If they are still on your list, you can tell them about it!

It’s like having cash on demand.

Second, you need to track your advertising. You need to know where you are getting your sign ups from. It’s not enough to just mail randomly to every safelist. I know exactly where I get my sign ups from, so I don’t waste my time at programs that don’t produce results.

For example, there are a couple of safelists where I could spend over an hour clicking for credits, but it only gets me about 1 sign up per mailing. In that time, I could click for credits at several programs that get me much better results.

But wait, couldn’t you just join the programs with the most members? Membership numbers don’t always equal results. The most important thing you want to know about is activity, and tracking your advertising helps you gauge that information.

And since you’re here, I’ll give you some real insider info. There’s a few programs that outright LIE by inflating their membership numbers. I won’t call them out by name, but sadly they are out there.

If the 3 reasons above aren’t reason enough to track your advertising, I don’t know what is. =)

Finally, use squeeze page or splash pages for your credit link URLs. Here’s an example:

http://elitesafelist.com/splash5.php

What you want is a short page, that quickly explains or gets the interest of the member. Think of it like a billboard. It doesn’t have to have fancy graphics like I showed you above. I’ve seen some squeeze pages that look “unprofessional” but pull in tons of opt-ins.

If you just follow these 3 tips, you’ll find your results at credit based safelists explode. Let’s get an action plan set up for you:

Step 1) Sign up for an autoresponder so you can build your list. One of the best in the business is Aweber:
=> Click Here to Join Aweber

Step 2) Track your advertising using Hitsconnect. You should ugrade to the highest level so you can track where your sign ups are coming from:

Step 3) Create some splash or squeeze pages. There’s a few services you can use. Most of them are free to join, don’t require much or any knowledge of HTML, and have a bunch of other features I won’t mention here.

With Instant Banner Creator, you can make professional looking images for free, including splash pages:

Instant Squeeze Page Generator is just like it sounds, it helps you create squeeze pages fast just by filling in some forms. They even host products that your opt-ins can download when they sign up for your mailing list:

TE Tool Box is a service created for traffic exchanges, but you can use it for safelists too. They have a nice little editor inside so you can create splash and squeeze pages without knowing any HTML.
