How To Get Massive Results With ThumbVu

I’ve been itching to get this blog post out. Since TimTech acquired ThumbVu last week, I’ve been spending quite a bit of time surfing and checking out the inner workings of this popular traffic exchange. Today I want to share a few tips and tricks that I think can really make your results soar!

The first is obvious I think, because ThumbVu is a social traffic exchange, the more active in chat you are, the better. People respond to people who look to be on the fore front of any program, and no one has yet to stake claim as being the ‘ThumbVu’ expert. Get out there, and be visible. There is no reason why you cannot connect with THOUSANDS of like minded people, right now on ThumbVu!

The second tip I think that could really make your results soar is the biggest…Make your designs pop! The way this program is set up, people aren’t guaranteed to visit your site unless they choose it from the selection of 3 thumbnails before they load a page…Talk about a HUGE opportunity!

I suggest kreating a splash or squeeze page that doesn’t look like everything else. So much so that I have avoided standard affiliate pages when they come up in the thumbnails. Yup, that’s right, I’ve actually seen standard pages that I have avoided like the plague. DUSAP!!!!

Remember, your site gets loaded into a thumbnail BEFORE people see the site in it’s entirety, so this presents you with a big opportunity to stick out from the crowd. If you thought having a ‘Purple Cow’ kind of splash page was important in other traffic exchanges, it’s so much more important in the environment!

Take these two tips and I can almost guarantee huge results from your advertising in ThumbVu. You are only limited by the restrictions of your imagination when it comes to designing killer campaigns…What will you kreate today? And how will you embrace the huge social opportunity that ThumbVu presents?

Oh No, Not Social Surfing…Again!

I saw something awesome a few days ago, and even though I chatted about it at TE Live and T3 this week, I thought a blog post should be in order. I took a picture of something that happened live in ILoveHits chat on Sunday and think it speaks to the power of social surfing like nothing I could ever try to explain…


ILH Social Surfing

Proof? That this stuff actually works! I think it’s an awesome display of not only social surfing at work but how Brenda Broyles has carved out a fantastic little niche within the traffic exchanges…How did she do it? She just cared more!

Brenda and dozens upon dozens of other savvy surfers, know that when you stick out in the surfing chats, offer support, give a helping hand and are visible…Good things happen.

How much did this cost Brenda and other social surfers?

Absolutely nothing but time and effort!

So what’s stopping you from getting loads of referrals, just by hanging out with other surfers?

This is just one technique that doesn’t cost a penny, yet so few are using it to their maximum potential. Remember, this business is about people first, numbers second. And when you put people first, in a live environment, not only will you get people ASKING you for referral links, you will also be branding your name as someone who cares.

Now ask yourself this…How powerful is that reputation when someone starts seeing your site in rotation as well?

Talk about a win-win!
