How To Make Money With TrafficWave

Here’s the big secret: Use These Tools To Build Prospect Lists For Your Business!

No matter what sort of business you operate, the key to growth is to get new customers and keep existing customers coming back. You have the perfect tools with your TrafficWave account to make that happen.

If you are a network marketer, you can use these powerful tools to build your prospect lists to get new customers and new distributors on your ream.

If you are an entertainer, you can use these powerful tools to build and communicate with your fan base and booking contacts.

If you are an author, a speaker, or business coach, you can use these powerful tools to stay in touch with readers, clients, and business contacts.

And … you can grow your TrafficWave.net income by building your lists and showing other businesses how to do the same.

No matter what type of business you have, this powerful system makes it possible for you to build prospect lists, communicate with your prospects, convert your prospects in to paying customers, and grow your business … all for about 60 cents a day!

The simplest way I can describe the overall process is this:

1. Set Up Your AutoResponder Letters. Tips:
   Guide To Creating Powerful AutoResponder Letters
2. Set Up Your Hosted Capture Page or Add Capture Form To Your Web Site. Tips:

3. Begin Driving Traffic To your Capture Page or Web Site. Tips:
   Driving Traffic To Your Capture Page

Once you have your campaign up and running, drive traffic to your capture page or web site to begin creating a steady flow of new leads. You may need to change your content or your offer to improve results, but once you’ve got leads coming in, this system is like have an automated sales staff working for your business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

This is why so many successful businesses focus on list building! At 60 cents a day, your Return On Investment (ROI) can be massive! It is incredibly easy to make money with TrafficWave. The key is to learn and effectively use these amazing tools to build your business.

Here are some numbers from dma.org to show you the overall returns business are experiencing from a wide variety of digital marketing channels:

Notice how much larger the ROI is for email? These aren’t our numbers. The Direct Marketing Association (dma.org) gathered these statistics.

Yes .. you can use these same techniques to build your TrafficWave Affiliate income by referring other businesses and teaching them how to do the same thing in their own business. This creates an additional income stream for you along the way.

I have seen Affiliates who focus solely on recruiting other TrafficWave members and spend little to no time on training their referrals on how to build their lists to grow their business. Predictably, those new referrals drop out fairly quickly due to the lack of results.

When I see someone cancel their account, saying, “I cannot afford it” or “I’m not making any money”, I look at their account and I usually see someone who hasn’t actually set up any campaigns. They aren’t using the tools so they aren’t seeing results. All they see is an “expense”.

I have also seen Affiliates who, after referring a new business to TrafficWave, they makes sure their new referrals know how to get around in the system and start building their lists. These users tend to stick around a lot longer. They are using the tools to generate hundreds or thousands of dollars in new business and they realize that 60 cents a day is an amazing deal for their business!

I highly recommend our blog and videos for a quick overview. Be sure to take in this information for yourself and share it with all of your referrals. When your referrals are seeing results in their business, they are not worried about spending 60 cents a day to build their profits with a 24/7 marketing system!

The post Buy Leads from TrafficWave.net appeared first on Email Marketing.

This article is going to spend a little bit of time showing our Affiliates how to recruit more and retain better customers and distributors. When you get that done, your business grows.

As one of the owners here at TrafficWave.net, I get a “birds-eye view” of what is going on. I get to see when groups are growing, when groups stop growing, when someone is really taking off, and when someone is backing off. Over the years, I have seen a very clearly defined trend amongst our Affiliates that really puts them in to two distinct groups. Of course, there is a 3rd group of people who are customers only. They have no desire or  intention to refer others. They are simply using these tools to build their lists for their own businesses and we think that’s AWESOME!

This article is designed to help our Affiliates get a better understanding of how to build a solid stable income through our Affiliate plan.

Both groups of Affiliates want to build more income. Both groups are working to refer other TrafficWave.net users. But the big difference I have seen is that one group focuses solely on “recruiting” to get people in to the Affiliate plan while the other group is actually doing two things better than the other group:

1. Using the tools.

2. Showing others how to use the tools.

That’s the big secret and the big difference. Consider your own TrafficWave business for a moment. Which makes more sense to you from a business perspective:

1. Trying to just recruit more people and hope they stick? OR …

2. Actually USING these powerful tools to build your own lists, selling to those lists, and showing your referrals how to do the same?

Really think about that for a moment. If someone joins your team for the sole reason that they are hoping for spillover or some sort of “magic bean” they might get lucky. But any old wind will blow them off course and they will quickly jump ship looking for the next pot of gold or “power team build” ( and those things pop up left and right ). This is why you see so many people “sign up”, never take any real action, and quit so soon.

I’m not knocking “team builds” at all. I think we all do better when we are able to work together with a team that is committed to our mutual success. A good team will be focused on helping existing team members get good business results AND will show them how to recruit more new team members. But “team” shouldn’t mean, “Join us and we will make you rich”. It should mean “partner with us and we will work together for everyone’s success!”

If someone joins your team because they know they can build a powerful business asset (their list) for less than 60 cents a day … and they begin building that list … and they begin generating sales through that list … doesn’t it just make sense that they would stay with you longer and even refer others based on their own success? This is how retention is accomplished. Help your referrals get RESULTS by USING the tools.

I’m one of the company founders and I want you to understand that this is my own process. I USE these tools, myself. I have other business projects I am involved with and I build lists to generate sales in those projects. (I personally USE these tools). I also build a list specifically focused on showing others how to use these tools to build their lists. Some of my referrals have been with me for 15 years! This is because they have LISTS and they get RESULTS with those lists! And, now matter how many referrals I recruit, “recruit more” is always on my list of things to do.

Remember the 30 Minute List Building Challenge? 

I created this simple system that shows people exactly how they can get started building a list with our system within minutes! When people actually build a list, they are more motivated to stay with us because they want to keep that business asset and generate sales. As they generate sales they can quickly and easily show other businesses how to do the same. As a result, their TrafficWave.net income grows.

One of the reasons Chase Swift is consistently showing up in our Top Affiliates reports is because he is USING his autoresponder campaigns to build lists and sell products. He is showing other online marketers how they can use the TrafficWave system to build their own lists with TrafficWave. This is why he is able to recruit more new team members each week.

Imagine:

Money comes in every week through Fast Track Bonuses.

Money comes in every month through Residual Commissions.

Money comes in daily, weekly, etc… because you have a list you can sell your offers to!

Build Your Credibility With Your Lists

Building your own lists gives you a lot more credibility in the market. Would you take fitness advice from someone who was dramatically out of shape, never worked out, and ate nothing but junk food? No! You would look for someone who is in good (or great) shape and follow their example. You might even buy a gym membership and pay a trainer! Why? They have the results you are looking for!

It should be the same with your TrafficWave business. Build your lists. Sell to your lists. Teach your lists how to build and sell to their lists. You will find that you get a much more solid customer base as your referrals USE and benefit from the tools. You will also find that your fellow Affiliates are more productive at referring because they have results and can teach how to get results.

Imagine how quickly you team can grow and how strong that team will be when you have a bunch of your team members getting solid results and growing their referrals as part of that process.

Once you have an account with us, be sure to take advantage of our 30 Minute List Building Challenge as you begin promoting your TrafficWave.net affiliate site. Build your lists. Get results. Your belief will skyrocket and that will absolutely make you recruit more and be a more effective business builder for you and your team!

Communicate With Your Team

Communicating with your team is a big factor in your overall success. In the Affiliate Manager section of your back office, you will see a link labeled, “Email Referrals”.

This link gives you a quick way to communicate with your direct referrals so you can share your results and tips as you build your lists and show them how to do the same. This is a quick and easy way for you to make sure your team stays updated and is aware of how available you are to help them succeed in building their TrafficWave.net income.

So the core principles of success as a TrafficWave Affiliate come down to:

1. Using the tools to build your lists.

2. Teaching your referrals to do the same.

Success will come as a result of following these two principles faithfully.

The post How to Recruit More and Retain Better Customers and Distributors appeared first on Email Marketing.

Why do I believe in list building and email marketing? Let me count the ways!

We have all seen or heard the phrase “The Fortune Is In The List”. But how many of us really understand that phrase? I think a better way to say it is “The Fortune Is In The Followup”.

We live in a fast paced world where people are managing multiple schedules and lists between dealing with their business and their home life.

How many times have you intended to review an article, check out a training presentation, or even place an order online only to have your schedule get interrupted by a co-worker, spouse, family member, friend, crisis on the homefront, or any number of possibilities.

Your potential customers are the same way. They may not have time to review your full sales copy or video at the moment they see it so an email reminder would be perfect for them.

I have often had customers tell me that they saw my information months or even years earlier but just didn’t have the time to dig in at the moment. My follow up emails kept my company and offer in front of them so that when they found the time to review my  information, not only did they find the information easily but they also had learned that I was serious about helping them learn and make a decision about my offer.

So the big reasons I like to focus on list building and email marketing are:

1. I keep my name and offer in front of my prospects

2. I can follow up with those prospects any time.

3. My AutoResponder campaigns run 24/7 so they are working for me no matter what I am doing.

4. The planet is our market place and it runs 24 hours a day. Even when I am sleeping, traveling, eating, or any other number of activities, my email marketing campaigns are working around the world and around the clock to help build rapport, create trust, and help my potential customers trust me even more.

Why do YOU focus on list building in your business?

Like many small business owners, you may be asking “What is email marketing?” The term “email marketing” can quite often create confusion among marketers and business owners.

No doubt you have heard of email marketing repeatedly on the internet.  Conferences and marketing strategy meetings often include information about email marketing.

Email marketing enriches business communications, targets specific key markets, is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. But what is email marketing exactly and how does it work?

How is an email more effective than a radio spot or television advertisement and why should a business spend the time to build and maintain an email list?

Email marketing occurs when a company sends a commercial message to any group of people by use of electronic email. Any email communication should be considered email marketing if it helps to create attention, build customer loyalty, improve trust in a product or build company and brand recognition. Email marketing is an efficient way to stay connected with your clients while also adding new clients to your business.

Email marketing helps you easily and quickly reach target markets without the need for large quantities of print space, television or radio time or high production costs. Thanks to effective email marketing software, you can build and maintain an email marketing list that has been segmented based on several factors including the length of time addresses have been on the list, customers’ likes and dislikes, spending habits and other important criteria. Emails are then created and sent out to specifically target members of your email list, providing them with a personalized email detailing information that they are interested in or have requested.

Some examples of email marketing would include:

• a welcome email that thanks that new contact for opting in to your subscription. Welcome letters can not only give valuable information about your company, they can also request key information about your new client, helping you put the person in the correct categories for future marketing efforts.
• sending out announcements about products or services
• a newsletter regarding your company and/or products
• coupons for future purchasing and much more.

You can quickly and easily monitor how effective any marketing campaign is, and see that your return on investment is substantially higher than with other, more traditional, marketing campaigns. Let the power and flexibility of the internet help guide your customers to you again and again with an effective email marketing campaign.

So, What Is Email Marketing? Let me summarize like this:

Email marketing is the use of email technology by a business, group, or organization to communicate, inform, and update customers, prospects, or members. This use can include sales, support, updates, etc… and is always (when used in its best possible context) expected and/or appreciated by the recipients.

Examples of how businesses can responsibly and profitably use email marketing strategies include:

• The restaurant that sends out coupons and special event announcements.
• The network marketer that sends followup information and special offers.
• The retail outlet that sends out coupons.
• The hotel that sends out seasonal offers and invitations.
• The band that announces upcoming concerts, events, and cd releases.
• The health club that sends out weekly or monthly email newsletters.
• The church that sends out email announcements for special events, devotionals, etc.

Many different types of businesses can benefit by responsibly adopting email marketing strategies.

To start building your own email marketing lists, we recommend adding a subscription form to your web site or blog. This allows visitors to proactively request your information so that you know your information is welcomed and received with a smile rather than quickly deleted or flagged as spam.

If you are new to email marketing or just looking for a cost effective solution to generate and manage unlimited email marketing lists, stop by TrafficWave.net for a free 30 day trial.

Email Marketing – Guide To Creating AutoResponder Letters

AutoResponders are powerful tools. Successful online marketers use them to automate repetitive sales tasks, build and manage multiple prospect lists, and send out regular articles, updates, and announcements.

More than providing an automated response to an inquiry, AutoResponders can be your own automated sales force working online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Used properly, AutoResponders can automate the process of building your lists, following up with your prospects, and helping you close more sales.

Let’s look at how someone might use AutoResponder Letters to help build a list of targeted email marketing prospects.

The first step is to create 5 to 7 autoresponder letters about your offer and add them to your AutoResponder Campaign.

These messages can be set to go out every 2 days.. With 7 messages, your prospects would receive your sales messages over a 2 week period. Over that 2 week period, your AutoResponder is helping you build rapport so that your prospects trust you and hopefully WANT to do business with you.

Here is a simple guideline you can use to create your own autoresponder letters:

Message 1: Sent Out Immediately.

In this message you would thank them for requesting your information. Give them a brief history about yourself and your background to build some credibility. Don’t get too carried away. Just let your readers know about your experience. Your subscribers need to know you are qualified to share the information with them. Then give them an overview of the information you are offering.

In the message body, be sure to include a link to your web site so they can get further details, place an order, or contact you for more information.

It’s also a good idea to include your name and email address. Include a phone number if you want your prospects to call you.

Message 2: Sent Out 2 Days Later.

In this next message, you may want to give them a brief reminder of what you covered in your first message and focus on the benefits of your offer. The most important question your prospects want answered is: “What’s in it for me??. How is your product, service, or opportunity different from others? Use this message to let them know how you stand out from the competition.

And be sure to invite them to your web site, include the link to your site, and include your name and email address so they can contact you.

Message 3: Sent Out 2 Days Later.

This might be a good place to include some testimonials from your company or a little more of your own personal story. If you are new and haven’t quite created your own story yet, share success stories and testimonials from others that have used your products or services. Give your readers an overview of how people are using your product or service. If you are promoting an affiliate plan, explain how others are building their income with your plan.

And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.

Message 4: Sent Out 2 Days Later.

In this message, pick one key feature  to focus on. Maybe it’s about how your offer can help them save money, be more productive, lose weight, make more money, start their own business, etc…

Remind them that you are available to answer questions and provide support.

And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.

Message 5: Sent Out 2 Days Later.

Use this message to be a little more personal. Let your prospects know that you are available to help them in any way you can. This message could be used to simply thank them again for requesting your information and assuring them that you are a real human being and interested in helping them succeed.

And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.

Message 6: Sent Out 2 Days Later.

Use this message to stress another set of features from your offer. Share a few more testimonials from others or from your own experiences with your product, service, or opportunity.

Briefly review some of the details you have shared from previous autoresponder letters as a reminder.

And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.

Message 7: Sent Out 2 Days Later.

This message can be used to ask for some feedback from your prospects. Tell them you have enjoyed sending the information and you hope it was helpful to them. Ask them if they have any concerns or what might be preventing them from making the decision to purchase from you or join with you.

Sometimes, you will get some good feedback from folks. They may share some concerns they have or tell you why they feel your offer may not be for them at this time.

Thank them for agreeing to receive your information and let them know you are still available to answer any questions they may have.

And, as always, be sure to invite them to your web site. Include the URL and include your name and email address so prospects can contact you.

Now That Your AutoResponder Letters Are Created And Ready To Go: 

Once the letters are loaded in to your AutoResponder Campaign, your next step is to begin getting prospects for your AutoResponder to follow up with.

The idea here is to begin advertising to attract prospects to your offer. Give people a compelling reason to request your information. This is where you want to start thinking like your prospects. You are asking them for at least a name and email address. What are you giving them in return?

Maybe your information shows them how to start and profit from their own home based business. Maybe you are offering tips on how to better protect their identity. Maybe you are offering weight loss tips or nutritional information. Maybe you are offering information on how to promote a web site.

Since I sell AutoResponders, I offer prospects free information to show them how AutoResponders and email marketing can help boost their online sales.

I have added a subscription form to my web sites like the form that appears at the bottom of this page.

I use lead capture pages.

I include my email subscription address in my ads.

I include my email subscription address and/or my URL in discussion forum posts.

Then I focus all of my advertising on driving traffic to my lead capture pages so that people will request more information from me. I don’t try to sell them up front. I want to capture their information first. THEN I will focus on following up and building rapport to close the sale.

As people request your information by filling out your subscription forms or emailing your AutoResponder, their information is captured in your database.

Now your AutoResponder goes to work sending out your sales message.

Using the above schedule and formula, your prospects will be receiving your email marketing sales letters over the next two weeks. You don’t have to remember to send them out. You don’t have to remember which prospect has received which letter. Your AutoResponder is taking care of all that for you behind the scenes.

Now your focus should be on two things:

1. Continuing to advertise to get more prospects in to your AutoResponder
2. Using the feedback you get from prospects to adjust your autoresponder letters.

You may need to make a few changes. Maybe you see a recurring question from prospects. That recurring question is letting you know that you may need to cover that information a little better or more in depth.

This is just a simple guideline you can use to create your own follow-up messages for your AutoResponder. You may use more letters or less. The average for successful marketers seems to be in the 5 to 9 range.

Notice that each of the autoresponder letters ended with a “call to action” where you invite the prospect to your web site or to contact you for more information.

This “call to action” is a critical element to the success of email marketing autoresponder letters. You must use your call to action to let prospects know what to do next and how to do it.

Interested in AutoResponder Success? No doubt, your first question is:

How Do I Put AutoResponders To Good Use In My Business?

There are many ways you can use AutoResponders to automate repetitive sales tasks.

Most sales people find themselves answering the same questions over and over via email. Why not create a series of commonly asked questions and answers and make this information available via an AutoResponder?

AutoResponders can be used to send price lists to perspective customers. Adding a simple form to your web site allows visitors to request pricing information by entering their name and email address.

An added benefit for you is that when a visitor enters this information, they are entered in to your AutoResponder database and you now have a targeted lead.

AutoResponders can be a great way for publishers to allow prospects to sample a new book or series of articles. The AutoResponder can send out the first few chapters and include a link that directs readers to a site where they can purchase the rest of the information online.

Sales Managers can use AutoResponders to train their sales staff, send outseasonal and promotional information, etc…

Restaurants can use AutoResponders to follow up with customers that drop their business card into the fishbowl as they cash out.

Entertainers can use AutoResponders to stay in touch with their fan base and let fans know of events, concerts, shows, promotions, etc…

Service related businesses such as auto mechanics, pest control operators, air-conditioning companies, pool companies can send timely reminders and service notifications to create repeat business.

Retailers can put AutoResponder technology to good use by letting customers know about close-outs, promotions, and coupon offers.

Keys To AutoResponder Success

Some of the keys to success when using your AutoResponder include:

• Personalize your messages. Good AutoResponders can personalize your subject line and email text with the recipient’s name and other contact information. Recipients are much more inclined to open a message addressed to them personally.
• Keep the content relevant. AutoResponder messages that are off-topic or irrelevant can actually do more harm than good. When the prospect gave you their contact information, there was an implied trust that you would send them information relevant to what you were offering at the time. Protect your credibility at all times by keeping your content concise and relevant.
• Always use double opt-in subscription techniques. Double opt-in means that before someone is added to your AutoResponder, they go through a process of confirming their interest. The first opt-in happens when your information is requested. The 2nd (double) opt-in happens when your AutoResponder sends the prospect a message to confirm their interest in receiving your information.
• Offer free relevant content. You might set your AutoResponder up to send a case study, free tips, or other information to entice your readers to purchase from you.

AutoResponders are a great way to put the power of Email Marketing in your hands.

The time and cost savings are well worth the effort to learn how to use AutoResponders effectively.

Here at TrafficWave.net, we are excited to have you join us in spreading the word via Affiliate Marketing. We love helping businesses grow with the power of email marketing. As an Affiliate, you can show businesses around the world how to use email marketing to build their prospect lists, communicate with those prospects, and convert prospects in to customers.

When you introduce businesses to our service, and they begin using TrafficWave.net, you can earn commissions as indicated in our affiliate plan description. And if those referrals decide they want to refer others, you can earn on those sales, too.

So let’s talk about how to be a good affiliate with TrafficWave.net so you can see how to build your business strong with us.

One of the first things I always recommend is that you actually use these tools to build, manage, and profit from your lists in whatever your primary business may be. Nothing motivates success more than actual success. When you are using these tools in your own business, it is much easier to show others how to do the same.

Now, if you do not have a business separate from being an Affiliate of TrafficWave.net, that’s perfectly fine. It simply means your business is “email marketing” and you refer other businesses to TrafficWave.net as an Affiliate. That’s really what “affiliate marketing” is all about. Show businesses how to win with TrafficWave.net. You will win in the process.

I highly recommend doing a few things consistently:

1. COMMUNICATE with your referrals! Among the complaints I hear from new referrals, the most common is, “I never hear from my sponsor”. In your back office, in the Affiliate Manager section, we have a link titled “Email Referrals”. This is a simple way for you to welcome your referrals, encourage them, share your experiences, invite them to our webinars, etc…You can share tips and celebrate the success of your team members. Success is a great motivator. As your team sees other members succeeding, they will be more motivated to begin following the example you are setting.
2. DEMONSTRATE your list building. One of the things that confuses me is how some folks join us to become affiliates to offer email marketing to businesses but they are not using email marketing themselves. One one side, I try to imagine how someone plans to sell something they are not using. And on the other side, it really just makes sense to use your account to build and manage your own lists. Your campaigns can be dedicated to showing businesses how to use TrafficWave.net to build their business. While USING these tools, you will also be building your own success story to share with your prospects. And remember: STORIES SELL!
3. REPEAT Steps 1 and 2. It really is that simple. If you are effectively using these tools, you are building your own lists. As you demonstrate your proficiency and share your success with your prospects, those business owners are going to want to do what you are doing. It really just makes sense.

Credibility is a huge factor in business success. We build our credibility by DOING. So, be sure you are doing the things we talk about in our training emails and our regular webinars. Support your team while showing them how to do what you are doing. Then SHARE your results with your prospects and show them how to do the same.

I see a lot of Affiliates get caught up solely in trying to refer others. They spend no time teaching their referrals and then they wonder why their referrals don’t stick around. Imagine how much more dedicated your referrals will be when you are showing them how to get real results with their email marketing.

Frankly, if they never referred anyone but got good results using our tools, you would have a strong customer base.

Think about this:

A customer that signs up with TrafficWave.net and uses our system will spend just $17.95 per month. So when we are talking to businesses, “budget” isn’t really a part of the conversation. Show them how to use this powerful tool to generate hundreds or even thousands of dollars in new and repeat business with this tool. They will be your customers for life!

And some of those customers will want to become an Affiliate with you and refer other businesses. That is when your business really begins to grow. You can literally build a global business from your computer by following these simple steps.

So if you are brand new to all of this, it just makes sense to spend some time in your back office, reviewing our training videos, and reviewing our training articles. The better you become at using this system, the easier it will be to bring on new customers. As your team grows, you can show them how to do the same.

The end result: Your TrafficWave.net Income Grows!
