Simple enough but here’s what I’m doing all day. I’ll be surfing Sweeva and in rotation there maybe a splash page or two promoting I Love Hits. When you see this page, simply add your username for I Love Hits and I will gift you some bonus credits just for taking the time to surf Sweeva and comment on the splash page…
Easy huh? Let’s get busy =)
I’ve posted a few articles about how to use creative advertising and campaigns in anything you are doing in the traffic exchanges but more so Sweeva these past few weeks. I really applaud the people who have been doing very big things with their advertising. Seeing people like Arvell Lewis, Carl Bailey, Eric Goettman and Janet Legere really go to town and using unique adverts is a welcomed change for this seasoned traffic exchange veteran…
But…And here’s the big BUT!
I’d say only about 5% of the people using Sweeva are using the system to it’s full potential…Heck, I’d say even less than that because one surf session and you see the standard crap that has plagued this industry and kept us from reaching the next level. Yes, I’m pretty much fed up with the generic bland affiliate pages and the claims of ‘never before seen income opportunity’ pages that are not only in Sweeva but around the traffic exchanges.
Wake up!
This is becoming just plain silly because YOU can get results like never before if you just use a little creativity and a kick butt splash page generator like Instant Splash, Ad Kreator or TE Toolbox. Each one of those services are free, so you cannot use the ‘I have no money’ argument.
As for ‘creativity’…Here’s how you do it. Surf Sweeva and find out which pages capture your attention the most. Ask yourself why they captured your attention. And then get some ideas from it and create your own version. Simple. Yes, it may take an hour or two to get everything set up *gasp* yes, that means a bit of work but enough is enough…
Let’s go folks, you have a MASSIVE opportunity to get the best traffic this industry has ever seen, live feedback, live comments, people FOCUSED on your web site and what you are promoting…Let’s not waste it!
My mind has been spinning since we launched Sweeva with ideas on how to use social browsing and benefit everyone involved. You know one of the most intriguing parts of this system is the fact that you KNOW everyone will be looking at your site at once, this is the perfect opportunity to ‘grab their attention’ like never before.
We have seen the pages that are getting all the trophies and they have been clean, crisp and attention getting but let’s take it one step further. Remember, this is a SOCIAL site so let’s be social. How about this idea..
Step One: Start a live stream, something like uStream or similar.
Step Two: Start your video / stream and then bid to get your site seen.
Step Three: Once your bid has been accepted, start talking in the stream and grab the viewers attention.
Tell them to stop surfing, tell them ‘remember’ your page. Ask them to ‘Tweet’ your page. Engage them. Grab their attention like no other page before yours could.
We do this all the time with Traffic Exchange Live and it really gets people talking. Remember, the more people engage your site at Sweeva, the more expose and results you will get. Get your viewers to use the social tools to spread your message and ask them questions in the chat box.
So get creative and try this ’streaming’ idea…I guarantee you that your competition won’t do this…
O.K, so it’s not a secret anymore…
Tim Linden, Austin Hallock and myself have been busy little beavers these past few months and this week we released Sweeva. The launch has been amazing and the members that have joined so far are raving about the massive results and VERY addictive browsing environment that Sweeva has created.
One thing I have noticed though, is some people are getting SLAMMED in the surf chat for having web sites in rotation that aren’t really up to snuff in a traffic exchange environment. Now we understand that not everyone in Sweeva comes from the traffic exchange world, is yes, that is by design but this may be a great opportunity for you to talk directly to these people…
Here’s an example of what I mean. Create a splash page using services at something like TE Toolbox, Ad Kreator or Instant Splash. Make it look great, you can do this without much effort using those services, they are wonderful resources to make top quality splash pages.
Now in the headline say something like ‘Hey Sweeva Surfer…Want to get better thumbs up and comments?’ or ‘Stop Getting Slammed In Chat Now’ or something like that…The idea being you TALK to the people having trouble getting good reviews and comments.
Then promote something like those services above that you made the splash page with and presto, you have some of the best traffic available. People that NEED the service you are offering…You are hitting a HUGE market and catering to their needs.
Take it a step further, offer a lead capture page and capture the viewer and put them into your own auto responder. Talk to them about proper splash page design, etc.
Good idea? It’s only an idea if someone doesn’t act on it. I’m willing to bet, the people that do this will see some massive results in a short amount of time…
Let me know how it works out =)
I’m shocked!
I mean this isn’t like some closely guarded secret that only a few hold close to their chest. This is a broken record that dozens upon dozens of traffic exchange owners and enthusiasts have been sharing for years…
You need to promote YOU first. Heck, I’ve even created a program like Affiliate Funnel that is based around the power of personal branding but alas…As you can see in the video blow, 90% of the traffic exchange surfers STILL promote generic affiliate sites…
Want to make a splash in the traffic exchanges? Promote you first!
P.S. Special thanks to Michael Kelly from Royal Surf, for being the only traffic exchange owner so far to send me a mug =)
