My acquisition of Swat Traffic Exchange

I appreciate all of the readers of my blog, listeners to my podcast and subscribers to my mailing list. Many of you have made a personal connection with me over the past three years and have either become business associates and in many cases friends. I want you to be among the first to know about a major business objective that I achieved and how this benchmark can benefit you.

Over the past 9 months I have been in pursuit of a traffic exchange membership site for a number of reasons. First,  I owe the industry a dept of gratitude as traffic exchanges and safe-list played a major role in my business when I first came online. It was through traffic exchanges that I found my initial mentors like Russell Brunson, Ewen Chia, Mike Filsaime among others.

In addition to finding a few mentors and many valuable training resources, I learned how to build a list and begin to network with other experienced marketers and grow my sphere of influence. This took both time and effort, but I believe I am at a tipping point where many of my major goals are going to come to fruition.

Gratitude is a great motivator and I have long been an evangelist of the traffic exchange industry so my desire to become an exchange owner seems like a natural progression. But many goals are easier to imagine than to achieve and this has been a nine month journey.

Over the past nine months I have been in pursuit to launch or purchase a traffic exchange and I had no idea how challenging an idea this was for several reasons. First, it is very difficult to launch a unique exchange as a new owner in a very crowded industry with scare development resources as it relates to web coders and scripts. My best option was to purchase a quality exchange from an existing owner, but that also provided to be a challenge as the good rarely change hands.

I became acquainted with Jon Olson the author of “The Pizza Plan” and owner of “I Love Hits” and “Swat Traffic” several months ago when I hosted Jon as a guest on my podcast. We had sense become friends and every now and then he would mention that Swat Traffic could be bought! For a dozen reasons I wont go into here, I never really thought there would be an opportunity to purchase an exchange like Swat Traffic but that is exactly what has occurred.

So, I guess you can say there is a “new sheriff in town” and I am proud to pick up Jon’s legacy, an exchange that he created from an idea and has grown to nearly 30,000 members over the past couple of years. I have some new ideas and a commitment to build a large thriving community of Internet marketers who have a desire to achieve true freedom and live the Internet lifestyle.

If you already are a member of Swat , you will be hearing from both Jon and me in the coming days – we have a very special offer to make to you. If you are not yet a member of Swat, I invite you to visit my site and sign up for your free membership and consider the special sign-up offer.

I will be posting here frequently on the progress of my new venture and sharing a tremendous amount to value to you, which will represent a sample of what will be inside the members area. Please leave me a little feedback and share your thoughts and let me know what BIG audacious goals you have set for your business – I would love to read them and help you in any way I can.

Have a blessed day!

I am here to help you succeed in your business and life!

I hosted the second accountability call for the “How to Make $1,000 in 30 Days Online” mastermind we are conducting through 30 day mastermind groups. I believe the everyone that engages in this process will make their financial goals – many for the first time since coming online.  As I continue to emphasize on these calls, this is just the first benchmark – focus on making your first thousand and grow from there!

Once you have learned this simple formula, I know you will simply expand and repeat the formula to create a stable six-figure business long-term, but let’s start out by achieving this modest goal.

Here is the recording of the September 18th call:

There was a very important observation made during this session and it resulted in a sight change in the way I view this project. The idea here is to help anyone will to invest the time and effort to engage in our mastermind by showing them how to make real money online in 30 days. Not based on dates on a calendar, but 30 days from the date they start the process. The good news is that we have a few members that have gotten off to a slow start getting things set up – so they are getting a “do over” this Saturday.

I am hosting two opportunities to get direct help from me to get you started correctly. It doesn’t matter if you have already signed up or hearing about this for the first time, you can still get involved by joining us on Saturday.

Here is what you will need to do to attend one or both:

I invite you to join me for a very special interview with Mr. Rob Hannley, CEO of Primo Vacations. We will discuss Primo Vacations Club’s unique business model, sales system and personal business assistant support network. Have you ever wished you could travel the world and help other travel while you make a full-time living? That is the exact opportunity Rob is making available to people everyday.

In addition to exploring Primo Vacations, we will also have a broader discussion of the Internet, the economy and the opportunity that exist to create an entirely new level of life abundance through online marketing. This is a big subject and we will cover it in detail.

What is Primo Vacations Club?

Primo Vacations was launched in December of 2009 and is a premiere resorts and travel program that delivers exceptional value for both business owners and their customers. The program  meets and exceeds the standards set by big ticket programs in the travel niche. The advantage that Primo Vacations offers for you as a business owner is the cost to enter and maintain the business as compared to it’s pier competitors in the marketplace.

Primo Vacations is fast becoming a leader in the online travel niche and the modest cost to get started makes this program accessible for anyone who has the desire to succeed in an online business that delivers exceptional value and creates a significant income for you as a business owner from day one.

Over the past couple of years, I have taught about the importance of building your list and leveraging traffic exchanges, safelist, and viral down-line builders to establish your brand and create automated income streams. One of the biggest problems many new and intermediate marketers face is that they have no list, no traffic, no sales and therefore no revenue.

List Recon is a brand E-Course and Membership Site developed by Solomon Huey that offers sound advice on how to overcome and finally solve both of these problems. Solomon Huey, is a highly respected and popular Internet Marketer who has learned to leverage simple yet effective strategies to create a thriving full-time online business and he loves to show others how he did it.

I just finished reading through the course and reviewing the membership website the you will gain access to as a free member. It is worth signing up for a free account and carefully reading the e-course. It is easy to understand, well thought-out, 100% consistent with the strategies I teach, and it will produce results if you follow through step by step. You can use what you learn to marketing anything you are currently market online.

Follow this link and grab your free account:

Free List Recon E-Course Membership

Here’s some of the stuff you get for joining as a free member:

* Information packed 29-page list building and traffic generation report
* The secret to getting over 200 visitors an hour for free
* Easy to understand video tutorials that show you everything step-by-step
* High converting squeeze pages to build your list
* Professionally written auto-responder series
* Top quality and high paying affiliate program
* Some ridiculous bonuses valued at more than $485

There are two ways you can look at this course, the first is strictly for your own education with actionable tools to help you make money from what you learn. Secondly, you can use this as a “done for you” sales funnel by marketing this program as an affiliate, which I am doing and recommend that you do the same as everything you need is provided. Once you sign up all of the details concerning re-branding the report with your affiliate links and additional marketing resources will be provided to you.

So let me give you a little feedback for review about why I feel so strongly about this e-course and sales funnel.

The format of the e-course and membership site couldn’t be more user friendly, the e-book is easy to read and the information is given in a very clear and concise manner, you do not have to be an Internet marketing guru to understand what Solomon is teaching you. The membership site itself has bite sized videos to guide you step by step in order to put what you learn into immediate action.

As a marketing funnel the program is real and it will convert based on Solomon’s reputation as a successful marketer and the topics covered in the course. It is also very inexpensive to upgrade which is one of the many ways in which you will make money by giving the membership away. There will always be a percentage of people who sign up for free, that will see the value in the modest cost to upgrade (about the same as buying a large pizza) for all of the additional benefits and increased commissions. So you will make money sharing this site.

List Recon actually over delivers on all  of Solomon’s promises and I fully endorse this amazing course. This could easily be a paid product and thousands would gladly purchase it, but there are many who would miss out and continue to struggle online. The mission behind this course is to provide the value to you free and if you chose to make money sharing it, providing a low cost opportunity to create an unlimited income stream through the upgrade.

I highly recommend it and consider it a must join program using this link:

On Saturday I hosted the first accountability call for the “How to Make $1,000 in 30 Days Online” mastermind we conducting in September. This is going to be fun and profitable for everyone who fully engages in the process. As I mentioned on the call, this is just the first benchmark – focus on making your first thousand!

Once you have learned this simple formula, I know you will simply expand and repeat the formula to create a stable six-figure business long-term, but let’s start out by achieving this modest goal.

Here is the recording of the September 4th call:

Members of the mastermind are invited to participate on the live call and I host an unrecorded Q&A session at the end of each call to protect the privacy of our participants. I would encourage you to listen to each of the calls in order to have a full understanding out how to make this program work.

Resources for implementing the program are delivered via email and include:

1. Two new ClickBank products each week to market to the list provided

2. Two new email campaigns I have published for you (one for each product)

3. Two new marketing and traffic sites to mail to with coupon codes for advertising credits

In order to participate in this program you must complete the first three steps here:

http://askjamesholmes.com/how-to-make-1000-online-in-30-days

Once you have completed this, you will receive your instructions and resources via email.

I am looking forward to reading the great testimonials we are sure to receive as members of this mastermind start experiencing results, many for the very first time after years of trying. Whatever you do don’t trick yourself into thinking this is too simple to actually work, the key to creating income online is to follow a formula combining the correct actions with consistency over time.

Be sure to leave a comment and I hope you decide to join us on this journey.

I am here to help you succeed in your business and life!

P.S. If the goal of making $1,000 per month is too small, just raise it, there are marketers making 10 to 20 times this amount every month using ClickBank!

I am easily inspired… that’s right, easily inspired by great ideas and strategies that will help me grow my business by helping others become successful. Yesterday, I interview one of my dearest online friends and business associates Tatyana Gann aka “Russian Diva” on the topic of Social Media 2.0 – listen to the reply here: Public Relations 2.0 Featuring Tatyana Gann

The interview was filled with great information and several resources to help you utilize public relations regardless of the size of your business or level of experience. I encourage you to listen to the show and take lots of notes, it was a content packed interview.

I would like to share a few thoughts of my own on the topic of how to leverage public relations and social media to drive traffic and build your list.

First, what is public relations?

Public Relations (or PR) is a field concerned with maintaining public image for high-profile people, commercial businesses and organizations, non-profit associations or programs. - wikipedia.org

Public Relations (PR) a promotion intended to create goodwill for a person or institution. – wordnetweb.princeton.edu

Second, what is social media?

Social Media are media for social interaction, using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media use web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social media dialogues. - wikipedia.org

Social Media are primarily Internet- and mobile-based tools for sharing and discussing information among human beings. [1] The term most often refers to activities that integrate technology, telecommunications and social interaction, and the construction of words, pictures, videos and audio. - creativemediafarm.com

Methods to Leverage Social Media

1. Use “Third Party Endorsements” and “Social Proof” to Influence Your Audience

2. Use Traditional Media to Build Preeminence in Your Market

3. Use Public Relations to Drive Content to Your Social Media Networks

4. Use Social Media to Target Your Audience for News Releases

5. Use Social Media to Manage and Support Your Public Relations Campaigns and Manage Your Brand

Ways Which Public Relations Supports Your Brand

1. Provides a Proactive Method to Control Messages About You and Your Business

2. Provides You with a Platform to Establish One Way Communication with Your Online Audience

3. Provides a Funnel for You to Direct New Readers and Established Followers ANYWHERE on the Internet that You Desire

4. Provides a Platform to Manage What Others are Saying About You

5. Provides Your Brand Notoriety and Familiarity in Your Marketplace

In the coming days I will be posting a video presentation that will explain these strategies in much greater detail along with a list of resources that will allow you to effectively execute your own leveraged public relations and social media strategy.

Here are a few resources you may want to review as I will share some tips on these time saving results producing resources in the tools:

1. Hostgator – Website Hosting Discount Coupon Code: askjamesholmes

2. Scribe – SEO Plug in to optimize your content

3. SpyFu – To conduct keyword research in your niche

4. Tatyan Gann’s PR Traffic Secrets 2.0 Video Course

Please be sure to post a comment and let me know how you are using public relations or social media in your business. Be sure to view my free video training on this important topic in the next few days.

I am here to help you succeed in your business and life!
