I'm so happy to see the varied products and offerings I see rotating on Soaring4Traffic, it's become a shopping meca. Everything from jewelry, Avon, Mary Kay, and outdoor teak wood furniture that by the way looks really awesome.

Of course we still have various online marketing products, opportunities, ebooks, training, and frankly many of them are the top of the line products and services. Guess what I'm trying to say, if you are an online shopper like me, then you should really take the time to review the pages that flash across your screen while surfing.

New members may not be aware of our weekly contest to earn up to 200 extra credits. As a reminder for everyone, we do this every week. Winners bonus credits are rewarded each Monday (tomorrow) for the top 5 most accurate clickers.

Simple rules, surf a minimum of 300 sites per week beginning each Monday evening and be one of the top 5 with the fewest mistakes clicking the correct Eagle image. 100 bonus credits rewarded to the top 5. But there's more. Surf 500 sites, be in the top 5, reward jumps to 200 bonus credits.

Hopefully by now, everyone has properly set their sites to the correct status of whether it has pop-ups, auto playing sound or video. Remember, you should also have set your preferences based on which sites you want to see. Personally, I don't want to miss anything, so mine is set to view everything. Click your "My Preferences" link in your main member area to set your preferences. Click the appropriate boxes and save.

If you have sites that include any of the above preferences, you are required to also view those type sites, so please set this up accordingly. For complete details of these new options, review the original blog post here.

Since activity has been so high this past week, you certainly want to check your sites and assign more credits. We came very near running out of sites and text links a couple of times this week. Many of you have plenty of credits that should be assigned to keep your sites in rotation. Credits have no value setting in your account unused, only when your sites are being seen do you have the exposure you want and deserve.

Start running low, surf long enough to get max bonus credits, complete a word for even more bonuses, plus the opportunity of winning the click accuracy contest for even more. :)

Testimonials: Never have enough. Let us know what you like, dislike and results achieved. Be sure to include your ID# and user name. Submit your testimonials by sending an email to: testimonials@soaring4traffic.com

5 Opt In List Management Secrets That Really Work
By Jeff Schuman

If you are not handling your opt in leads correctly you are missing out on potential income. Can you afford to do that? Here are 5 things you should be doing when your new subscriber opts in.

1. Email marketing

2. Lists

3. Opt in

If you do Internet marketing you should be doing email marketing. If you do email marketing you should be building one or more lists. If you are building a list or two they should be opt in. This just means that the person agrees to receive email from you.

If they are not optin in you may be accused of spam when you email. This is a good way to lose you list. I should know, it happened to me.

In 2003 I had my list parked with an autoresponder company that had businesses with over 1 million subscribers they were mailng to. My list was made up of over 125,000 subscribers I bought 10,000 at a time. They all had the time, date and ISP stamp so they were legal. I was protected, I thought.

Anyway I went away on vacation to Mexico and when I came back I had lost my list and my domain name. The autoresponder company had been shut down due to spam complaints from all of the members in total. OUCH!

So I went about building an opt in email list for marketing by getting my subscribers one at a time and making sure they confirmed they wanted email from me. I use AWeber for this and have not had one problem now in 4 years.

Here is what is great about doing it that way. I get a chance to sell 3 times.

1. On my subscription form

2. On my confirmation request email telling them to activate their subscription

3. On my thank you for confirming your subscription email

I like to offer a small bonus in the email requesting they confirm. There is so much junk mail that sometimes people just need a nudge to follow through and confirm.

And I even like to offer one more bonus on the thank you page and in the thank you for confirming email. Doing this will build your credibility and lower you cancellation rate.

One other thing is to point them to your privacy page where you emphatically state that you hate spam just as much as they do. You will never reveal their information. I put this on my sign up form and again remind them of it in the request to confirm email. This will increase your confirmation rate for sure!

Another thing I like to do is spruce on the thank you page they get from AWeber. These are usually pretty cut and dried and people can get used to seeing it and clicking away before reading it. Liven it up a little with another bonus or a graphic or to. If you have a logo or a picture of yourself add it here. This just helps brand yourself, your company, and your product.

Finally when doing opt in email lists marketing make those first few emails you send really good. I mean so good that a person would be crazy for unsubscribing. If you have a blog post in it and get your list visiting it. If you email in html add some pictures, your logo again, affiliate banners, or anything to seem like your business is alive and fun to be around!

This should make marketing to your list more productive. Remember this! Building a quality email list can pay off for you for years to come.

ProTrackerPlus - All you want in a Tracker... Plus the Training You Deserve


This question has been asked several times, how I manage over 100 traffic exchanges? First, it's necessary for me as my obligation, duty is to bring in more new members daily, providing random referrals for upgraded Soaring Eagles!

This recently has become easier with the addition of ProTrackerPlus to my arsenal of tools. Let me explain. Was already using PageSwirl to easily control my url's to rotate, then with the addition of Soaring4Traffic's surfing console made it more managable.

See, I use the surfing console to not only track the last time I surfed a particular TE, but also as my base to know all the exchanges I've joined. With over one hundred, there is no way I could remember them all. :)

Using the surf console as a base for easy login to assign credits, check sites, add banners, text links, everything necessary to manage all accounts properly. Keeping Soaring4Traffic in front of as many people as possible as much as possible.

My goal for traffic exchanges alone has been set to a minimum of 3,000 page views per day to Soaring4Traffic splash pages. Every day, seven days a week. More is better, but that's the minimum I expect. With at least 40% unique visitors, that equates to 1200 people per day viewing Soaring4Traffic pages in traffic exchanges only.

Spreading advertising over this many exchanges is necessary to reach that goal. Some traffic exchanges are smaller, cannot deliver but a few hits per day. Larger ones can deliver up to 300 or more per day depending on the surfing activity.

So, back to the original question, how do I manage and control that many exchanges? Maybe it would be easier if I explained my typical day.

First thing of course, I grab a nice hot cup of coffee, boot up my computer and the day begins. :) First thing I do is check the admin side of S4T for site reports, member questions, etc. After those are handled, my next site to open is ProTrackerPlus.

I've set up one group in my tracker account for traffic exchanges only. Reviewing the stats for that group, immediately lets me know how many hits, how unique they are, how many have produced results up to that time of day. It also shows me which traffic exchanges have produced no hits.

Opening another tab to the S4T surf console allows me quick access to those traffic exchanges that haven't delivered today. Login to those with zero balances, check to see why. Maybe I've run out of credits, the site is on hold, or in some cases the TE is just not delivering today. Whatever the situation, get it handled and move to the next one. Easy to do with both ProTrackerPlus and the surf console opened at the same time.

Of course in checking, I also know if I've run completely out of credits, need to surf or in some cases purchase credits, depending on the TE and my mood at the time...lol

Currently I have 6 different pages set up in a PageSwirl rotator advertising just Soaring4Traffic. Each with it's own tracking link. This does two things, first lets me know which of those pages get the best results, and second allows me to quickly change the pages within that rotator if one is out performing the other. This way I don't have to run to every traffic exchange to change the url's being promoted. Just change the rotator and voila, all traffic exchanges are changed at once. :)

FYI, the best performing S4T splash page the last couple of weeks has been the one created using your Splash Generator link. Writing a decent testimonial and uploading your photo seems to be very effective. Not only that but you're advertising yourself at the same time, and that my friends is very important in your marketing efforts. Second best performing page has been splash #3, then splash #1, with #2 showing close results. We have plans for more later.

And that's how my day starts and how I can control over 100 exchanges daily. Normally this checking, assigning, looking at stats takes me less than 30 minutes. Of course then I usually need to surf some, place other advertising, check 6 email accounts, grab another cup of java, answer emails, delete spam, etc...lol Take a break, maybe some strectching, walking, jogging, then repeat all of the above several times a day. :)

Am I suggesting you join tons of traffic exchanges? Of course not, my reasons are much different than the average marketer. What I am suggesting is that whether you use 5 or 50 exchanges, it is manageable following my techniques. With the combination of Soaring4Traffic's surf console, ProTrackerPlus, and PageSwirl, my TE management has become a breeze, and I will be joining even more in the near future to test. More exposure, new eyes watching the Eagles soar! :)

By the way, in the near future, there will be more traffic exchanges added to S4T's traffic exchange list. Some have shown good test results, that way if you are already a member, just need to add your referral info to automatically add it to your surf console. Any additions will be announced on the blog.
