New JV Giveaway Events – December 9, 2010

As we are getting well into December get ready for a whole bunch of new holiday giveaway events.

The biggest event to take notice of is Guido Nussbaum's "New Year Giveaway". This is always one of the most popular events of the year is definitely one you don't want to miss.

The Apsense Countdown giveaway event is continuing to kick a lot of butt and it hasn't even launched yet.

This month I also decided to recommend Christmas Greetings Giveaway. This event is being run on a custom scri

The Best Safelists for December 2010

Welcome to December!

Lots of stuff happened last month so let's jump right into it.

Darren Olander launched Adchiever at the beginning of November. This was probably one of the biggest launches i've seen so far for a new safelist/viral list builder. The site opened with a pre-launch with the mailer scheduled to open a week later. Unfortunately some technical problems kept the mailer from opening on time but it did eventually open.

Adchiever has a bunch of cool features to keep it'

Safelist Genie Review

About a week ago I started seeing some ads for a new program that was just released called "Safelist Genie" which is supposed to help you manage all of your safelist accounts.

Having written a book on safelist marketing ("Safelist Marketing Tactics") I thought Safelist Genie would be a good product to buy and review here on my blog. Luckily, I didn't need to buy anything because the program comes with a 14-day free trial which is more than enough time to see exactly what it can do.

Just a quick note to let you know about a brand new list builder that is being launched today. This time it's from my long-time friend and marketing comrade Stefan Berg.

Here's the link:

I know. These new list builders keep getting released but so far they have all been producing incredible results so I see no reason not to keep using them.

Stefan has really gone the extra distance though to make this list builder

The Doubler Scams Are Back

Happy Monday!

So a few weeks ago I went on a little rant with my blog post about all the latest wave of ponzi schemes that had been popping up in Sweeva. In case you missed it, here's the link:

http://www.getrichwithjerry.com/ponzi-scheme-frustrations

Since then I have made it a point to call out the scam sites whenever I see them. It's been a lot of fun and I think it has put a spotlight on a lot of the people promoting this junk. I suspect most of the people promoting these thin

My Favorite Internet Marketing Forums

Welcome back.

The other day I posted an article on my blog that was all about using Internet marketing forums. In case you missed it, you can read it here:

http://www.getrichwithjerry.com/using-internet-marketing-forums/

I had intended to promote some of my favorite forums in the article but it was getting kinda long so I decided to save that information for a new post.

So what are the best Internet marketing forums?

Probably the largest and most popular Internet marketing forum

Using Internet Marketing Forums

One aspect of Internet marketing that I suspect most newbie marketers tend to neglect is the importance of participating in online Internet marketing forums.

Why are Internet marketing forums so important?

There is no better way to learn how to make money online than by interacting with the people who are actually doing it. Internet marketing forums are filled with people who are more than happy to answer your questions or help you out with a problem you are having. In most cases all y

Adchiever Begins Pre-Launch Today

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

I just wanted to write a quick post to let you know about a brand new viral list builder that is being launched by my good friend Darren Olander called Adchiever.

Here's the link:
http://adchiever.com/?a=69

Yes, I know there's been a lot of new viral list builders launching lately but Adchiever is different. Darren has put together a mailer that actually rewards you for being an active member. This is like nothing else I have seen before and if Adchiever wo

The Best Safelists for November 2010

Happy Monday and Happy November!

It's the first of the month and that means it's time for another update on the best safelist and viral list builders that I am currently using.

So last month someone asked me what I dislike most about safelists. I didn't have to think about it too long before telling them how much I hate the 24-hour submission rule. You see, most safelists and viral list builders limit your mailing to once ever 24 hours, or 48 hours, or 72 hours. Basically it means su

How Can Traffic Exchanges and Squeeze Pages Help Me?

Last week I sent out a mailing to my list on behalf of Brett Phillips and John Guanzon about the relaunch of their program TEReports.

In addition to adding two new products and twice as may new squeeze pages for upgraded members TERports now offers a squeeze page for free members. This is a great way for free members to start building their list using free traffic exchange programs.

One of my subscribers replied to my email with a questions about using traffic exchanges and squeeze pages

Do People Buy From You?

Hello.

I just thought i'd do a quick post today to let you know about a new ebook that is being released today from my friend Beth Allen called "Power of Promoting You".

You can download a free copy from here:
http://powerofpromotingyou.com/index.php?r=housedawg

Personal branding is something that I am a very big fan of.

I think when most people start out in Internet marketing they prefer to do it under the guise of anonymity. For years I used to market under the name "housedawg".

Interviewing the Traffic Exchange Leaders

Ah traffic exchanges.

Say what you want about these free traffic programs but you won't find another niche of Internet marketing where there are so many successful people willing to help other struggling marketers for free.

I have met some amazing people in the traffic exchange community. Probably the best thing I ever did for my business was to start attending the online conferences at Affiliate Funnel, SWAT Traffic and Traffic Exchange Live. These conferences have given me the opport

Ponzi Scheme Frustrations

Hello again!

Sorry I haven't been updating my blog as often as I would like. I'm still around, I just haven't had much time to write.

But today I am ready to rant!

Yep, welcome back!

So, lately I have been spending way too much time on Sweeva. Frankly, i'm addicted. Whatever. In case you live under a rock Sweeva is a social marketing site / traffic exchange. So by using it you are not only getting your site seen by other marketers but you are also getting to know a lot of o

The Best Safelists for October 2010

Hello and welcome to October!

I'm sure glad last month is over. I've been doing a lot offline work at a new concert venue here in town and haven't had much time to work on my online stuff. When I am online I've been spending much of my time branding myself and building my list at Sweeva. The results have been fantastic but the social aspect can be very time consuming.

Even with all that going on I still manage to find time to do my safelist and viral list builder submissions every da

Where Are The JV Giveaway Updates?

Hey Guys.

You may have noticed that it's been about three weeks since I have posted a new JV giveaway update on my blog or via email. I was hoping nobody would notice but a few people have called me out on it.

Here's the deal... it's a pain to update that list every week!

Ok, so maybe i'm a wuss. It just got to the point where I would be out with my friends on Sunday night and in the back of my mind I am thinking I need to get home and update the giveaway list. Then I get home a

The Best Safelists for September 2010

What? September already?

Somehow we managed to survive the blistering summer heat here in the midwest. If you believe in the summer slow down then now is the time to start promoting again because the busy season is about to begin.

So what's new in safelists? Not a whole lot.

I did join Quality Safelist which is the new safelist from Michael Coursey that launched about 2 months ago. The results have been decent but i'm not blown away. There's only about 2,200 members right now

My First 3 Years of List Building

I started building my list on June 30, 2007.

I know this because I just checked my Aweber account and searched for the date that my first lead was added.

I felt compelled to look this information up because I received an unexpected email from one of my subscribers tonight. She was replying to one of the emails I had set to send from my autoresponder 3 years ago!

No, I am not crazy enough to try and write 3 years worth of emails. I don't even remember why I did it but for some reason

The Return of Send Button Profits

Nobody is perfect.

About a year ago I wrote a review of a new site from Jeff Dedrick called "Send Button Profits". It's funny because at the time I had planned on doing a video walkthrough of the site but decided making videos was too hard. lol.

You can read my original review of Send Button Profits here:

At the end of the review I mentioned that the site would be closing soon but would probably open up again

Safelist Solo Ad Stats

Hey guys.

Last month I relaunched my Safelist Marketing Tactics site. As part of this promotion I decided to purchase a few safelist solo ads to help spread the word. Since I always track my ads I thought you might be interested in checking out some of my stats.

I should point out that these stats probably aren't as reliable as my monthly safelist reports. Usually my stats are based on a full month of daily mailings. These solo ad stats are 1-time mailings all sent within a few day

My Video Review of Instant Blog Subscribers

Are you ready for another video?

I stayed up late last night recording this video review of Instant Blog Subscribers which is the new free blogging site that was recently launched by Walt Bayliss.



Unfortunately it was about 4:00 am by the time I finished recording the video and I forgot to mention a few things.

One of the things I forgot to mention is the ability for people to subscribe to your blog with one-click.

That button will appear at the top of your blog. When someone c

List Zillion - Safelist Review

I know, finally!

I've been promising this review of List Zillion for about a month now and I finally have some time to get it written.

I considered doing another video review but to be honest there isn't a whole lot to see inside the List Zillion site. List Zillion appears to be run on the same viral list building script that i've seen running on a few other sites that have recently launched. The members area consists of a message displaying the site's stats (currently 5415 members) an

Video Review of My TE Command Post

It's Friday night and it's time to try something new!

I've been thinking lately that it might be fun to start doing some video reviews/walkthroughs of some of my favorite sites. I figure it's a good way to let people see what some of the sites I use are all about without forcing them to join first.

The first site I have chosen to do my video review for is TE Command Post. It's not a new site but it's one I think any traffic exchange user would want to join once they see how it works.

The Best Safelists for August 2010

Hello and welcome to August!

Everything appears to be bright and sunny in the world of Safelist Marketing.

I posted a couple of individual reviews last month for Reactive Adz and State of the Art Mailing System. If you missed them, check them out.

Unfortunately due to a nasty malware infection on my computer (don't worry, I squashed it) I wasn't able to write my review of List Zillion last week. I'll try and have that done sometime this week.

Also, I mentioned last month that I

Reactive Adz - Safelist Review

It's getting near the end of the month and I just realized I have only written one review of the new safelists I tested last month.

So, i'm going to do a nice quick and easy review today of Reactive Adz.

Reactive Adz really isn't a new safelist. I actually joined when it launched about 2 years ago (I think) because I won a free 1-month upgraded membership. I tested the site then but it was still very new and didn't have a very large membership so the results weren't great.

TE Profits Gets a Relaunch

The secret to making money on the Internet can be summed up in one simple formula:

Traffic + Conversion = Income

Easy, right?

And yet most people still struggle to make any real money online.

So what's the problem?

You probably already know how to get the traffic. If you're using traffic exchanges you can easily generate a few thousand hits to your sites every day with very little effort.

The problem is the conversion.

Most people can't figure out how to turn their traffic

The Great Sweeva Widget Hunt

I just had a crazy idea.

What if somebody made a list of web pages that display the Sweeva widget?

We would then have a list of sites that we could visit every day looking for "prize" widgets and the owners of those sites would benefit from the extra traffic as well as winning half of the prizes.

Here's the list of sites I have found so far:

A State of the Art Mailer System - Review

As I mentioned a few days ago I want to start doing more reviews of individual safelists, viral list builders, and whatever other programs I have been using lately.

The first site I want to review is "A State of the Art Mailing System". State of the Art Mailer is a relatively new safelist created by Jay Pause and Brad Webb which launched a few months ago.

A State of the Art Mailer System appears to be using a unique mailer script. I would say it's more of a safelist than a viral list b

Safelist Marketing Tactics is 1-Year Old!

Hello! I'm back. Sorry I have been kinda quiet lately but I have been busy putting together some new projects while I will be announcing very soon.

For example... You might have noticed that over the last year I have been working very hard to brand myself as "the safelist guy" and it all started with a little ebook and website that I created called "Safelist Marketing Tactics".

Well, it's been 1-year since I released SMT so I thought now would be the perfect time for a relaunch of Safe

The Best Safelists for July 2010

Hello July!

Yes, I should have posted this yesterday but things got a little bit crazy with my relaunch of Safelist Marketing Tactics. It calmed down a bit last night but at that point I decided it would be a better idea to shut down the computer and watch Star Wars instead (it had been a really long time since I last watched Star Wars or shut down my computer).

Last month I mentioned that I would be testing out a bunch of new safelists. I've got the results from those but I decided th

New Sweeva Prize Widgets

I was hanging out in Traffic Exchange Live today where Jon Olson gave us an overview of the new prize widgets that went live at Sweeva today.

The Sweeva widget is a little javascript app that you can put on your website that either shows your personal Sweeva stats or a live thumbnail of the current page being shown on Sweeva. You earn points every time your Sweeva widget is viewed and of course you get a referral if someone joins Sweeva through your widget.
