Get In Touch at Yuwie

I'm aware that people are reading the blog, because I am gaining 'signups' and referrals to the programs I've promoted on this blog. I use trackers, too, so these tell me where referrals are coming from.

I just noticed that a couple of the programs I've promoted here do not allow for contact from inside certain members' areas. This means that certain people might not be able to contact me if they need help. I'm so sorry that I overlooked this detail about contact, especially to those of you who are having troubles implementing the tools and ideas from within certain programs.

Please use my Yuwie details to contact me if you need some help with these programs.

I am almost ready to officially launch my website. Once I get that up and running smoothly, you'll have a permanent location where you can reach me. Until then, the best alternative that I can think of is for you to contact me through Yuwie.



Just log in and (if you're already a member and didn't get there by following my link) then look for ' teeray ' and send me a message. I will reply as soon as possible.

Are You Missing The Point?

Are you signed in to half the 'paid for post' sites out there, posting like crazy and still freaking out because you're only making mere CENTS?

Well that doesn't make any SENSE!

Are you, perhaps, missing the point of Social Site networking?

Ever heard of the old adage 'give a man fish and you'll feed him for a day - teach a man to fish and he'll be able to eat every day thereafter' ?

Your main earnings won't come from the fact that you POST. Your main earnings come from the fact that you post QUALITY text and earn a good reputation within all of the social sites that you're involved with.

Referrals are part of the 'fish' part of the equation, too. They'll be around for a day, but may not sustain you through to large paycheques and payouts. Teach your 'fish' to fish - and then you will all be able to eat every day thereafter, and so will your downline! Basically, this means - STAY IN CONTACT with your referrals on sites that permit this. Teach them to fish.

This doesn't mean SPAM YOUR REFERRALS. This means - ASK your downline about real life stuff. Visit THEIR pages and interests, and see what they're involved in. If you can help them, then DO SO!

Some social sites don't have this built into the software well so that you can have decent contact with individual referrals and downline. In this case - USE YOUR BLOG provided with membership to update your referrals about what you're working on - and encourage them to contact you if they need assistance with anything.

BE HONEST - if you DO NOT KNOW something when someone from your downline asks, then SAY SO...but if you DO KNOW where to find information - lead your downline there.

For instance - I don't have my website completely functional yet, but my list is growing nonetheless, and my programs are gaining referrals, so if someone asks me about 'website tech' stuff, I have to honestly tell them that I DO NOT KNOW the answers they are seeking. I can, however, lead them to the place where I am training and finding the step-by-step answers that I need for the tech difficulties I ran into with my website. I simply say, "I honestly do not have that information for you, but I am learning from THIS site ---------- "

I can assist with questions about marketing, ad copy, lists, autoresponders, click-sites, autosurfs, domain name selection, hosting site recommendations, social sites, list-building sites, follow-up letters, splash pages, traffic exchanges, and many other things. I just don't want to answer questions about certain 'control panel' details and website tech stuff because I run into my own control panel battles from time to time, myself.

I WOULD NOT GIVE GOOD INFORMATION about web tech stuff and it would be a great mistake to try to 'bluff' about this information, so I don't try to bluff. You shouldn't either.

The point about social marketing and social sites and list building is that you DO IT and GET OVER YOURSELF!!! Get over your need to make coin on CLICKS. The money won't all come from there.

THE MONEY COMES FROM DOING and from REPUTATION that you build and from having people be able to COUNT ON YOU for help.

If your referrals can REPLICATE what you are doing - then they will MAKE MONEY and stick with you. They will know that if they hit a 'glitch' that you can help them or that, at least, you will direct them and be as helpful as you can possibly be.

Referral members who are your downline at 'pay per post' sites, 'pay per click' sites and social marketing sites WILL NOT STAY WITH YOU if they think they are just a number and coin value to you. Typically, referrals who aren't making money (with your help) just QUIT after a short time.

Bye-bye to your growing referral base, your list, your prospects. Bye-bye also - to earnings, right?

BE REASONABLE in your expectations about earning sites and opportunities.

How do you want to earn?

By chance?

Or with certainty - and in a way that is REPLICABLE - that you can repeat, day in and day out?

ENSURE that your earning potential can be made CONSTANT by looking at your ACTIONS and reputation - not just your downline numbers.

No Fluff

Maybe I'm up way to early this morning, but I assure you I did sleep well and I am definitely in my right mind.

I haven't even put on my 'Internet Marketer' Hat yet this morning.

I think I'll just leave it OFF today - ALL DAY and send out a 'No Fluff' message.

The message:

These THREE new Social Sites ROCK. (I've already posted about two of them, so don't overlook the bottom link). Heck - if you don't think these sites are great, I will eat my Internet Marketing HAT once I get home tonight!

These THREE new sites put MySpace and Facebook to shame! I have had to change my interaction tactics completely on MySpace and Facebook over the summer months and I primarily spend time guarding myself against SPAM and DISTRACTIONS while I'm in those two monster sites. Now don't get me totally wrong here. These are still reasonable sites - I just don't get the kind of WORK done when I am logged in to them anymore - not like I used to. I still use them - but these are definitely 'break time' sites for me now - 'true social factor' going on, rather than a whole lot of learning and internet business.

Few people - or else the wrong kind of people (spammers and scammers) - have figured out the value of Social Sites for mass-contact list building, information-sharing, and money earning. THAT is what has made MySpace and Facebook lose their value as of late, in my opinion, as Social Marketing TOP Sites. Inexperienced users create 'fluff' groups like "Join my group so I can win an iPod" - or SPAMMERS just indiscriminately send reflinks around that they don't know anything about, trying to gain referrals. Man, that gets hard to steer around after a while, doesn't it? Especially when you're looking for quality information and people with 'Know How!'

Those problems are SOLVED now - with the appearance of the three latest Social Sites.

YUWIE
APSense
Friends Win - NEW

Created by people who got tired of the MySpace-Facebook scenario, the admins and crews at the three latest social sites are ready and armed against the spammers who will soon flock there. Plus - they set the sites up with UNBELIEVABLE and VALUABLE tools - whether you're just looking to gather information about hobbies or business. These sites even have MAILER programs! I mean - GOOD ONES. And the APSense site is very notably GEARED FOR BUSINESS interests, let me tell you!

Get into these member areas BEFORE the flock of spammers comes along. Check out the existing groups right away. These are filled with knowledgeable people who ARENT using 'Facebook' and 'MySpace' MASS-Friend-Show-Off tactics. Most of the people I've encountered at all three of these sites are CAREFULLY building contacts inside their members areas. They are actually keeping COMMUNICATION channels open, instead of just scoping out friends with same interests to add to their friend list.

Do you want to be on 92 Friend Lists with people who never get a chance to chat with you about anything? Do you want to be on 92 Friend Lists with people who constantly send you a barrage of Ref-Links to programs they don't even understand?

Or - do you want to interact with PEOPLE who care about who is on their Friends List, and once you get on THEIR LIST, they want to find out about YOU?

Okay - so I'm up too early in the morning - this is true. I couldn't sleep any longer because I needed to get this information down on the blog before I start my 'real-life' day. It's a BIG DAY for me today. I start the first day of my semester classes at University. No anxiety about classes. That's not what helped me wake up so early - it was really EXCITEMENT about these sites!

How could I run off to classes (In search of Abraham??) while my blog was deviod of links? How could I? Well - that just wasn't going to happen.

Enjoy your new members areas while I'm off at classes!
(I want to hear all about your experiences when I get back!)

Heck, I'm not even going to go fetch 'banners' this morning. You've seen the banners for two of these sites already - so here are the links, one more time, plain and simple:

If you want to build a big list...

Let Someone Throw You a Pitch!

If you want to learn Listbuilding...

Let someone throw you a 'pitch'! A Marketing Pitch

That is - let someone 'pitch' their products to you, their information bytes and bits to you. Join a couple of other peoples' lists, then take a really, REALLY good look at how they present their eZine or Newsletter.

Though it is both unethical and ILLEGAL to copy another person's work, it is neither unethical nor illegal to pick up on good, solid information and style from other successful list-builders. If you refrain from exact copies of text, but take note of 'tactics' used in newsletters and eZines that keep YOU interested and reading along, you'll have a good idea about how to structure your own newsletter.

You won't be sued for, say, utilizing an interesting tactic of adding a joke at the bottom of your email newsletter - right before your website address signature, like 'So-and-so' Newsletter Editor/Writer did in the last newsletter you read.

You won't be sued for noticing that a certain writer has a method of grabbing reader attention by asking a question often, and you can start asking questions in your own Newsletter - every 250 or so words, if this has had an interesting effect on YOU as a reader. This may appeal to readers of YOUR Newsletter or eZine, as well. Use this 'tactic' if it SUITS YOU. Don't use it if something about this isn't 'you.'

You can use GOOD, GENERAL IDEAS from people without stealing their words.

Plagiarism is no joking matter.

Don't do it.

There is no need to STEAL OTHER PEOPLES' WORDS - especially when the best thing that you can do is promote YOU. Your very best bet is to develop your own, unique style of writing so that people on your list will begin to recognize each piece of text that you write personally - as YOURS. Within a short time, you want people to be saying 'Like so-and-so's style.'

You don't want people saying, "I read something that was like 'those marketing guys' whose Newsletters I signed up for."

Why be like everyone else?

Let someone 'PITCH' to you - read and absorb - then BE YOU by the end of it all.

Read Newsletters and eZines and see what stands out for you:

* What makes sense?
* What can you reasonably put into your own words?
* Can you explain an idea better than the idea you just read in the last Newsletter or eZine you read?
* Do you IDENTIFY with the 'style' and 'vocabulary' that someone else used in their writing?
* Did you find a bunch of plain and simple GARBAGE in the last eZine you read? If so, can you write down the correct information and educate readers of your own eZine?
* Did you learn anything from the last Newsletter you read - something that is a definite 'light bulb' or 'ah-hah' piece of information?
* Did you like the 'layout' of the Newsletter better than any other Newsletter you've seen before?
* What's the writer's 'pitch'? Can you find it? Can you find the EXACT SPOT where you started feeling like you MIGHT WANT TO BUY SOMETHING or follow a link or BELIEVE IN every word in the Newsletter?

These are all questions that you can likely satisfy by letting someone throw you a pitch!

These are all things that can also be REPLICATED successfully without plagiarizing.
