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!
I woke up to something I wouldn’t have believed a year ago…
Today TimTech paid out $1495 in affiliate commissions this week to our members which brought our totals to over $50,000 so far this year. Now I sit back and look at this and think to myself, it’s a pretty good example of how this whole Evergreen affiliate plan is working. Now we’ve added the whole concept of +1 and well…It’s going to be one heck of a finish for 2011!
You see, this business is NOT a sprint. It’s a marathon. And something we at TimTech have been screaming for is long term growth for businesses online. We are focusing on this…Call it the magic formula?
Evergreen +1
The main idea of this blog post is to show you that you do not need what the internet marketing world has been throwing down your throat for years…You don’t need a list of 10,000 people. You don’t need an ‘inner circle’…You don’t need a JV team…You need relationships with your members / downline / community…And you need a long term game plan.
Sure we like bumps. Everyone likes to ‘hit the jackpot’ once and while but folks, I cannot STRESS this enough…The real wealth in this business is long term residual income…Compounded using +1 over YEARS not weeks.
We are only in about month 9 or 10 of TimTech’s existence and we are doing the +1 model each and every day. We want those affiliate commissions to be over 100k in the spring time and we will make it happen.
You guys are the ones that have believed in this company’s vision and we cannot thank you enough. So here’s the the NEW formula for internet marketing success….Evergreen you business and Plus one everyday!
If you have ever heard me yap on a Monday night T3 seminar or during the week at Traffic Exchange Live, you will know how much I love this saying. It comes from the ‘Turtle and the Rabbit’ story where they are both at a race and even though the hare was so much faster than the turtle, the turtle ended up winning because while the rabbit ran quicker, he did not have the endurance to win…Meanwhile, our friend the turtle, kept it slow and steady…
You see, we can take that children’s story and related it directly to our online business. If you look at the image above, you will see what I call ‘The Turtle Method’ of building a business. There are no peaks and valleys. No roller coaster rides. It’s a slow, steady and constantly growing business model. It takes time, but wow, what a pay off!
This is how so many people make it in online business and how so many people fail. We are ‘in love’ with program launches, hyped releases and the lure of quick riches. We tend to forget that when you grow your business SLOWLY and take your time, you will be seeing big results in the long run, not just quick gains (that always end up crashing).
But it’s hard. It’s not sexy and my goodness the last thing people want to hear is that it will take them years to build an online business. But I can guarantee you this, you follow the slow and steady approach, The Turtle Method, you will have a solid residual income, month after month and be able to build a real sustainable online business.
Be the Turtle! Don’t fall for quick money schemes and promises of instant riches. Take your time, slowly grow your business and you will beat every rabbit out there!
