The pulse of the traffic exchange industry and the random ramblings of Jon Olson (that's me!)
I've been writing Hit Exchange News since 2003 and have been involved in the traffic exchanges for over a decade. Enjoy the 'news', and thank you so much for making this THE must-read traffic exchange blog on the internet!
It’s the mission statement for TimTech (and myself personally as well) in 2012 to not stay the same this year. We are at a point in our careers where we believe average just does not cut it anymore. It’s something we talked about before 2011 was up and a concept we cannot stress enough as we begin the new year.
This isn’t some fancy dancy new year’s resolution. This is a commitment to improve ourselves across the board, every day for the rest of the year. We don’t want anyone in our community to fall victim to the ‘status quo’ either. Please understand, average SUCKS! Average means failing. Average means being background noise in a world where the mover’s and shakers in this business, stand up for something.
How can you stick out from the crowd in 2012?
Don’t be average!
While most people complain about not making money, why not find out HOW people are making money online and follow what they do? Learn from people that are actually DOING it, rather than the false prophets that seem to be everywhere in online business.
When people say surfing traffic exchanges is boring and not effective, find out how to be MEMORABLE in the surfing experience. Develop videos, create awesome designs and splash pages, don’t use standard affiliate pages!!
When people try to push the ‘brand new latest and greatest’ promotion down your throat, why not ask yourself how you can develop your own brand and own products that people will want to promote?
Don’t be average! Invest in your business, invest in YOURSELF and stick out from the crowd.
We are only two weeks into the new year and lots of cool things are in store for the TimTech world, we don’t know what the future will hold but we can guarantee this…We won’t be ‘taking it easy’ and doing the same old, same old…Average just isn’t in the game plan for 2012!
It’s the age old problem in online business. A new marketer comes online. Busts their tail for a few months. Does the little things to help build their business. But after some time, doesn’t see the yachts and the enormous bank account. No referrals are coming in. No sales. So they give up…
It’s sad, but here’s a staggering fact, this is almost the case with 99% of the people who come online looking to make money. It’s happened for years and it continues to be the biggest problem facing us as business people…Giving up!
Here’s something to think about….What happens if you spend all that time, and effort to grow your downline to about 50 people in something like ClickTrackProfit. It’s taken you a few months and you are doing the little things like contacting your downline, offering support but you don’t get any people taking action. Frustrating beyond belief. So you say…Enough of this, I’m done…You give up and start jumping from program to program.
But something remarkable happens. You refer someone else, number 51….And that person turns out to be someone like Patrick Griffin. Or a TimTech Nerd. Or a big traffic exchange owner. Or someone who is at the start of a lucrative career. Or a dedicated surfer.
I use Patrick because this story can be found at home, right here in TimTech. Brenda Broyles actually referred Patrick to ClickTrackProfit and from what she recalls…Her downline before that was…Lukewarm at best. Now what would have happened if Brenda gave up? Not only would she have missed an opportunity to work with TimTech but she would have missed the BIGGEST opportunity…And that’s to refer and work with someone who is becoming a very strong brand in this business.
Be a Brenda! Don’t give up! When you do, you will never know how close you were to success. If you want a tip on how to keep driving and pushing forward….Do the fundamentals every day, +1 every day, focus on relationships first….And you will see, the results will be there. It’s a guarantee!
