It’s Official, ThumbVu Joins TimTech

I guess it’s not really a secret anymore, as we announced this via Twitter and TE Live last night but I guess a blog post from yours truly kinda cements the news…Yesterday TimTech LLC acquired ThumbVu.com from John Guanzon.

O.K., first I have to thank John for creating something so kick butt that when he approached us yesterday for the purchase, we literally jumped at the opportunity. I’m not joking either, I physically jumped up and ran to the bank…

John is a great guy and one of the best owners in traffic exchange history. He has created something with ThumbVu that cannot be found anywhere else online. He pioneered the mobile surfing aspect of ThumbVu and really embraced social surfing. He even co-wrote the book on Social Surfing with me.

I cannot thank him enough for the opportunity he presented TimTech along with his vision for this brave new area that the industry has grown into! Thanks man, we will make you proud!

On to ThumbVu and what this means to TimTech LLC. Plain and simple, it’s a perfect fit. This is kinda a dream come true for me because I think the ThumbVu brand falls perfectly with what TimTech is trying to do.

We plan on adding all the surfing badges, tiered and otherwise, to the system. We will NOT however change things up when it comes to how the program works. We did not buy a traffic exchange that needs much ‘work’, it’s working very well as is. We will however be adding the TimTech touch to spice things up and improve the program.

How about your feedback? We need it, we love it, we want to hear it. If there is anything you like, or dislike about ThumbVu, let us know. We know this program has a very unique community and identity so it’s critical to us that we hear what you, the membership, think!

ThumbVu has a bright future from it’s solid past, and that’s because of it’s members! Tell us what you think!

A Perfect Example…Of How To Take Action

This past Monday we had a great turnout for our first Social Surfing Secrets seminar and I wanted to thank each and every single attendee that came out.

We used to suggest this ‘technique’ years ago in the old SWAT Traffic training room and it always amazed me how many people got the exact same advice, but rarely acted on it. The trick was this, find a program that you enjoy and then contact the owner. Tell them that you will create a detailed guide book for their program and see if they would send their members to your report….

Now here’s the kicker…99% of program owners would LOVE to get this written for their business and would email their members in a heart beat…if it meant they got a great training product created for them for free. It’s a very natural and easy way for a newer marketer to jump start their list and well, piggy back off the program owner’s promotional efforts…

Of course when we told people about this technique years ago, maybe 1 person would act on it.

Well this week, we had ACTION taken and thanks to Mark Hodgetts for creating a brand spanking new A to Z guidebook for I Love Hits!

HUGE! I plan on not only telling Hit Exchange News about this, but I’ll also be mailing I Love Hits and putting a link for it in the members area of the traffic exchange. Now I’m not saying Mark will make a million bucks from this, but he’ll build a list, he’ll get some people to recognize his name and he’ll be building a great reputation in my circle of influence.

Action! All he took was action. I don’t think it cost him any money to put this together, all it took was some of his time and effort and presto…He’s my new favorite person online LOL

This is about as guaranteed as it gets folks…If you want to build a list, get in with a program owner and start building your reputation…That’s the ticket, right above. So I have to ask…How many of you that read this will take action?
