Last night I was I was in attendance for a special presentation by Robert Puddy at the GVO Academy, which is a weekly training platform for GVO members. There where 415 attendees and the topic was how to use lead capture pages in traffic exchange to recruit sign-ups in GVO as well as build a subscriber list.

Robert was very generous in giving 48 hour access to his training series titles “Hidden Traffic Formula” videos. After the live training, I immediately logged in and watched the videos. In video #2 Robert recommended S.W.A.T. Traffic Exchange and the weekly S.W.A.T. Room Web-Conferences. I was pleased as the owner of S.W.A.T. Traffic and have decided to create a very special free and paid bonus offer for all GVO Members worldwide.

As I matured as a marketer, I came to appreciate the leverage I gained using viral marketing systems, and the secrets I have learned to drive targeted traffic. Think of it this way, while I am working on the more dollar product activities in my business these viral resources marketing for me. These systems work by sharing my content across the Internet driving traffic and back-links to my websites. This viral traffic and link generation network is perpetual and virtually runs on auto-pilot.

The fact that these vial traffic systems are free or available at nominal cost, should make your decision to set up a viral funnel of your own a complete no brain’r, in other words a very easy decision. If you opt into my blog subscriber list you will receive a step by step coaching from me delivered over the next few weeks sent directly to your email inbox. I am going to share the exact sites and methods I use to make my funnel work.

Today, I want to introduce you to a new viral advertising site that will allow you to generate traffic doing what you probably already do everyday, use Firefox, Explorer or Safari to access websites. Viral Traffic Frenzy was just launched today by my friend Solomon Huey and combines a neat little piece of computer code with Solomon’s ability to create high value membership sites resulting in a free solution that works on auto-pilot.

Viral Traffic Frenzy incorporates a custom toolbar installed on your web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Safari), in the same way those you may already be using. The code developers of this toolbar have built this product free of viruses or malware, so you do not have to worry about installing Viral Traffic Frenzy to your browser.

The installation is very fast and easy with a simple download and installs in a few clicks. It will only take a couple of minutes for set-up and you will instantly begin earning traffic and advertising credits for the network.

Installation Set-Up One:

Installation Set-Up Two:

During the set-up process you will create text and banner ads promoting your websites. Once your ads are set and saved into the system they will go into rotation, they will be displayed within the toolbars of other Viral Traffic Frenzy members. While you are browsing text ads appear on the Viral Traffic Frenzy toolbar every time you visit a new webpage. For every ad that displays on the toolbar, you earn advertising credits – pretty simple.

There is nothing new that needs to be done, when you visit Google, check your email, visit Facebook, read the news, etc, you will earn credits. Better than this, every time a new page loads, you’re earning additional advertising credits and you can use those credits to advertise your sites on the network.

Another aspect of this program that I love is that it is free to join, better yet, if you want to maximize your results and start with a tremendous amount of credits and other bonuses, you can pay for a modest upgrade and really drive the traffic and sales. I am an upgraded member and the value is extremely good.

The final point I want to share is that there is a very lucrative affiliate program that you will become an instant member of when you join Viral Traffic Frenzy. As a result, you can promote your sites, earn credits, and earn commissions by sharing this site online.

You Can Claim Your Free Viral Traffic Frenzy Membership Here:

Viral Traffic Frenzy

Here is a quick overview of the program based on my set-up and use of the website.

Pros:

* Getting great advertising was never so easy and fast. The Viral Traffic Frenzy Toolbar really delivers and has the power to increase your traffic and most importantly make you more money

* You can literally visit any website online and earn traffic with no effort at all, which means more traffic and sales coming your way – this is unique

* Your advertising leverage will increase quickly, thanks to the viral aspect of Viral Traffic Frenzy. Basically, your downlines earn you traffic down to 10 levels.

* A very generous affiliate program that pays excellent commissions. With an extremely easy to use program and a proven owner. Expect to have many of your referrals upgrade.

* Completely free to join, though an upgraded membership will multiply your results and increase your potential sales

Cons:

* Need to install the Viral Traffic Frenzy Toolbar – though this only takes a couple of minutes and you’ll only need to do it once

I have found that Viral Traffic Frenzy does everything Solomon promises and my results have been great. Although you need to install their toolbar, it is easily done and only has to be done once, you can then enjoy free traffic for life.

Since the “Gold Membership” is being offered free during the launch of the site, I highly recommend joining and giving it an honest try, I think you will be surprised by your results. Please be sure to return here and post a comment and let me know what you think of this site and he traffic you are able to generate virally.

Perry Belcher effectively retired from Internet marketing in 2009, yet that which he and Ryan Diess created during their collaboration has continued to impact marketers around the world. I have spent much of the past few weeks evaluating what worked in my business in 2010 and what needs more of my attention. In addition to completing the standard analysis, where did my traffic come, what is the profile of the customers I attracted, which marketing efforts provided the best results, etc., I also looked at a few intangibles.

I looked back to see what training programs I was able to gain the most value from and which provided me with actionable content that resulted in moving my business forward. I was actually a little surprised by how much I gained from re-listening to “Automatic Daily Income” and “Getting Money From Google,” I purchased both of these courses a longtime ago and found them worth coming back to again and again.

I also gained alot from my personal interactions with Perry Belcher – I interviewed him for my Internet Business Blueprint podcast on the eve of his final product launch with Ryan Diess in 2009. During the lead up to that program, I had a couple of great telephone conversations with Perry from which I gleaned several golden nuggets on marketing and social media. The lessons from those conversations contained principles that I still teach today.

Here is a Recording of the “Perry Belcher Unplugged” Interview

Perry’s exit from the scene was pretty swift and I am not sure if I took the time back then to let him know how much he helped me. His impact is still evident in my business and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you, to put that sentiment out into the universe and vow to pay it forward.

Perry Belcher, retire in peace (R.I.P.) and may you have success in the next chapter of your journey. One of the things I like most about Perry is that he was always open and honest about his mistakes, shortcomings, and limitations. As confident and powerful as he is, he is also aware that like all of us, he is a flawed human being. I know that I am and so the same may be said for you. It really doesn’t matter as long as you strive to become better, add value for other people, and leave your mark on the world in a meaningful way.

In retrospect, I not only learned allot from Perry about business, I also learned about life and how to confront it head on. So by sharing this interview I hope that you will gain by one or two golden nuggets that will help you to breakthrough to a higer level of achievement.

Please be sure to post your comments after listening to this interview and let me know what lessons you take away. Then take action upon what you learn and let me know if I can help you in anyway. The interview is classic Perry Belcher and well worth another listen or two!

I am here to help you succeed!

As you may know, I recently purchased S.W.A.T. Traffic Exchange from Jon Olson and I have been busy putting a number of changes in place, which our members will have access to beginning January 1, 2011 – just a few days away.

In a few of days, I will be removing the life-time membership option because the new and improved S.W.A.T. Traffic will deliver so much value that providing a life-time membership is like giving away the farm – it is just too valuable. Those who are lucky enough to have secured their life-time membership will be blown away by what they receive month to month and they will never have to pay another dime to get all of the benefits!

So, the bottom-line is that $67 for life was just too little to charge and I am taking it off the market and will provide an annual membership option instead. The good news is that you still have time to grab a life-time membership for a one payment for life!

Here is what you will get:

* EXCLUSIVE Private S.W.A.T. Training
* Add up to 30 Sites, Banners and Text Ads
* E-Mail Your S.W.A.T. Downline
* 1:1 Surfing Ratio
* 750 Credits Per Month
* 1000 Banners Per Month
* 1500 Text Impressions Per Month
* Bonus Offers and Specials
* One-Time Payment for Life!

Here are the Bonuses:

* Promo Codes for Dozens of Top Viral Marketing Sites
* Exclusive Russell Brunson Insiders Webinar Video
* 27 Ways to Raise Fast Cash E-Book
* 27 Essential Rules of Internet Marketing E-Book
* Maximum Impact Social Media E-Book
* Traffic Exchange Masters MP-3 Audio Files
* Bonus of 10,000 Credits at S.W.A.T. Traffic
* Total Package Value $997

One question you may have is “when will this offer end?”

I am going to leave this offer open until Mid-night December 31st or when 100 life-time memberships have been sold and then it will close forever!

As I write this email, there are only 88 of these memberships still available. If the offer is still open you will be redirected to Pay Pal Checkout when you click the link below. If you are taken to Pay Pal you are in luck and I congratulate you in advance. If the offer is sold-out, you will be redirected to S.W.A.T. Traffic to sign up as a monthly member.

Here is the link for the entire offer:

http://trckrs.com/26870/AskJamesHolmesVIP

This is a fantastic offer and a great way to kick off the New Year with a life-time of traffic and promo codes worth hundreds of dollars in Solo Ads, Traffic Exchange Credits, and Text Ad Credits. This is a massive traffic package that will pay you back month after month for life.

Once your payment has been received, you will be redirected to S.W.A.T. Traffic to sign-up for your account and I will personally handle your upgrade and delivery of all of your bonuses.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have and I hope you are one of the lucky 100 and I will see you in the training room.

Have a safe and blessed New Year!

Worldprofit has become a central part of my business funnel both as a primary income stream and as a platform for automated traffic and SEO tools that have literally exploded my business over the past six months. Beyond receiving exceptional vaule for my monthly Worldprofit Platinum Package subscription, I have developed a significant personal mentoring relationship with Dr. Jeffrey Lant, CEO and co-founder.

During this private dealers meeting I had an opportunity to share the methods I use to re-purpose Dr. Lant’s articles into blog post, hub content, audio recordings, link wheel content, and other viral traffic funnels. I have spent the past several months perfecting my tactics and was honored to be invited by Dr. Lant to share these strategies with the members. George Kosch another company founder recorded the session and has made it available to the public – I wanted to share the video with you.
