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!
Something I have learned in my years of working in the traffic exchanges is that the simplest ideas and campaigns always pull the best results. When things get complicated, either by design or by execution, we have the tendency to throw our arms in the air and give up. It’s normal, it’s human nature…
We launched Click Track Profit over a month ago for one reason…To make things simple. Easy to follow, easy to see results and easy to get set up. It didn’t mean there wasn’t work involved (heck, anyone trying to get ‘Expert Status’ knows that it’s a process) but it’s simple.
I love simple things and this past week we saw the launch of another simple to use system, but it’s not really a system, or a downline builder…Well it is. But…Urggggh this is difficult to explain. It’s basically a downline builder without using a downline builder.
It’s from the VERY creative mind of Carl Bailey and it uses e-mail to ‘build your downlines’. Now some folks are up in arms about the design and the name ‘autopilot’ but what I’m a huge fan of is how this works. It’s as simple as this….Fill out your email address.
That’s it.
No OTO’s, no selling, it’s completely free and it’s working like crazy. Why? Well Carl would say it’s because he’s a genius, and yeah the guy is one smart cookie…..
But I also think it’s because you CANNOT mess this up. It’s one e-mail address, press ‘Register’ and that’s it.
We are moving towards a time in online business where things just ‘work’. Simple systems like Autopilot Downlines and CTP show how the functionality of a program is just as important as what it promised. And it’s done with ease and without all the bells and whistles.
How simple is your business? And what plans are you making to keep it simple? I’d love to hear your feedback, please drop me a line or comment below!
The past 7 days has been quite interesting in my professional life and I’ve got to say, as the weekend rolls in I’m pretty happy with a lot of what I saw during the past few days and some things that made me cringe.
Good things first? The launch of Click Track Profit was a roaring success and for all the right reasons. We launched this program without a single JV account and the action takers that saw what this WILL BE and is right now, are reaping the benefits. A special thanks to everyone who ‘gets’ our ‘drip feed’ method of marketing and knows that I would never release anything sub-standard. Get ready…CTP Certification is on it’s way next!
Also, *lol* I have to laugh because when I saw this video pop up on my Facebook page, it made me laugh for a good 20 minutes. The guys at Traffic Fusion did something I’ve been BEGGING this industry to do for years…And they did it using comedy and created one of the best promotional videos I have ever seen. Kudos to them!
Now for the bad…
You know what…Change of plans. The bad wasn’t that bad at all. It was the typical hate spewed by a few grumpy guys. They use any chance they can to put down what others are trying to build. Thanks for the free publicity though. I do appreciate the love.
Way too many positives this week to dwell on the small things. Heck, we had a fantastic ‘owner’s meeting’ for the ‘T.E. Summit’ initiative on Thursday morning. That really got me excited with the thoughts of once again trying to build a solid group of like minded traffic exchange owners.
You know what? This has been a pretty darn good week! Three cheers for all the positive people in this industry that continue to innovate and push forward…
