Learn How to Master Traffic Exchanges with Robert Puddy

 Robert Puddys Hidden Traffic Formula Video Course Review

I am often asked where is a good place to learn exactly how to use traffic exchanges efficiently and how to track results. Robert Puddy has created a phenomenal no non-sense traffic training course by Internet Marketer Robert Puddy, the course is titled “Hidden Traffic Formula” and is presented in a 7  videos and 5 downloadable manuals. The home study course has been completely sold out, but you can still access 100% of the content in digital format and instant download.

I am sharing this site as a valuable resource for anyone who would like to learn how to use one of the best free or low cost methods of advertising online. Robert has a very straight forward approach to teaching and he is considered by may successful marketer to be “the mentors, mentor.” In this video series you will learn the mindset, hidden resources, and exact tactics used by Robert, other top marketers, and me – to create unstoppable traffic.

Here is an overview of the Videos Series:

Video # 1. Anatomy of a Splash Page

Video #2. Knowing Your Audience

Video #3. The Journey Begins

Video #4. Monetisation

Video #5. Keeping On Track

Video #6. On The Trail

Video #7. Dominating Traffic Exchanges

Here is an overview of the Manuals (Workbooks):

Manual # 1. The Lost World – What difference would it make to your online business efforts, if you could live in a world of steady and voluminous traffic, made up of targeted and curious customers? I am betting life would be outstanding.

Introduction, The history, Evolution, Heroes and Villains, Myths, 16 Week Action Plan, Commitment, Quiz

Manual # 2. The Training Begins – Learning from your mistakes is one way to go but… it’s a whole lot quicker and a lot less painful to learn from the experience of others instead.

Preparation, Backward Thinking, Audience, No Selling, Make a Splash, The Big Squeeze, Best of the Best, The Journey, Quiz

Manual # 3. On the Trail – Some, that successfully travel to The Lost World, express surprise that so many others have tried and failed to complete the journey. The path, once discovered is clear enough to follow and the expedition is generally shorter than expected.

Straight and Narrow, Best Traffic Exchange Is, Traffic Exchange Spotting, Making Money, On The Right Path, Traffic Exchange Training, Quiz

Manual # 4. Hidden DepthsBy planning and creating a well-designed campaign, you are already light-years ahead of most of your competition. Coupled with a basic understanding of the Hidden Traffic systems themselves, you have a solid foundation for driving traffic and generating traffic.

Moving On, Traffic Exchange Lingo, Surfing For Life, Life-Time Value, Pound Foolish, Conceits, Order of Magnitude, Work Less – Earn More, The Rest, Quiz

Manual # 5. Black Hat – The final book in this course is going to teach you how to use your Hidden Traffic strategies to cheat, steal and break the law. Not so that you can amass ill-gotten wealth, but rather to allow you to protect yourself against those that delight in taking advantage of the naive and inexperienced.

Don’t Even Think About It, Evil Surfers, Down-line Deceit, The Execrable Exchange, Adsense Nonsense, Petty Theft, Pay Pal Sucks (not really), Amateur Hour, Quiz

Testimonial:

“I didn’t meet Robert until October 2006. I have a feeling if I had met him earlier, I’d had been working a lot less a long time ago. There are very few people in IM that have really taught me and changed my business, and Robert is one of those few.” - Liz Tomey

Effective use of traffic systems is the cornerstone for your success online. Quit frankly, this course is a bit of a best kept secret and I was thrilled that Robert shared it with me, so I could share it with you. Be sure to watch the videos carefully and complete each quiz to ensure that you have grasped these strategies.

I am here to help you succeed and I believe this series will help you brand yourself, grow your list, and convert consistent sales all using targeted, free, and very low cost traffic.

Have a blessed day!

10 Action Steps to Help You Achieve Success with Traffic Exchanges

Academy Graduate Traffic Exchange Mastery 10 Action Steps to Success

I had the pleasure yesterday to conduct a guest training at Janet and Don Legere’s Saturday web-conference. I always welcome any opportunity to work with Janet Legere because she is a true professional with a passion to help her followers build sustainable businesses. If I can contribute to her mission in some small way… count me in!

To make it even better the topic of our training was “how to master traffic exchanges” and we had a group of 55 dedicated home-based business owners and Internet marketers who decided to invest their time and join us. It was a tremendous hour long session and I appreciate all of the great feedback that I have read in the blogs and I am glad that Janet, Don and I were able to provide value to the attendees.

Recorded Saturday September 17, 2011

I highly recommend Janet Legere’s Weekly Training

Be sure to take notes as you watch the video and take action on what you learn. The key to making web-conferences and other trainings work is to take massive action and apply what you have learned. Never be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone or  fear failure. Action wins over perfection every time!

Here are the 10 Traffic Exchange Mastery Tips I shared in the conference:

  1. Master 5 traffic exchanges at a time by setting up your profile, downline builder, ads – websites, banners, text, manage your credits
  2. Always use Tracking Links
  3. Always use Rotators
  4. Budget 1500 to 3000 credits per month per exchange, you want you sites in rotation 24/7 and 365
  5. Promote your exchanges to build downlines in the exchange and earn more credits
  6. Fund your upgrades and credits from commissions earned
  7. Test and adapt your campaigns and ads based on conversions
  8. Leverage the social sites to build relationships and extend your brand
  9. Use time management tools they save you time and money
  10. Consistently add new exchanges as you master those you have joined

As I said in previous post, I owe much of my successes to key relationships I have formed in conference rooms and I hope this recording courtesy of Janet and Don will help you achieve similar results. Please take a few moments to scroll down to the bottom of this post and share your comments.

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

Learn How to Hold Your Vision

Hold Your Vision and Manifest Your Dreams

Vail Colorado 300x225 Learn How to Hold Your Vision

The Covered Bridge Across Gore Creek in Vail

Back in June I enjoyed a short working vacation in Vail, Colorado a place I have visited regularly since 1981. My trip resulted in an amazing period of reflection, personal growth and many lessons which I have shared here in two earlier post. The first  dealt with manifesting your perfect life and that was followed by thoughts on embracing your personal stories to break through events of the past that may have created self-limiting beliefs in your life.

Today, I want to share my understanding of another concept which may in fact be the key to obtaining the life of our dreams. The topic is holding onto the vision of what we really want in our lives. It is one thing to sit down with your journal and write out a set of goals or better yet a life plan, it is quite another matter to hold onto your vision against obstacles and setbacks.

I remember sitting next to the raging Gore Creek with it’s banks overflowing from the Spring runoff as the water moved swiftly toward the Colorado River to fulfill it’s purpose as a tributary to the great Colorado. When I looked downstream I could see many obstacles in the path of the flowing creek; boulders, fallen trees, foliage and I thought of these as an analogy of the obstacles we face in pursuit of our vision or purpose. I watched as the water found its way over, under and around every obstacle and challenge with a clear purpose to flow eventually into the Colorado River. We must maintain the same focus and determination to achieve our greater vision life vision and purpose.

10 actions you can take to achieve vision and purpose in your business and life.

01. Set your vision based on “your why“  as your why will anchor you during choppy waters and give your vision real  purpose.

02. Allow yourself to DREAM BIG regardless of where you are today, build your vision based on where you want to be.

03. Believe in the power of attraction and draw unto yourself the people, opportunities, and resources needed to manifest your vision.

04. Adopt a mindset that by default says yes to the opportunities, possibilities, and people who can help you achieve your vision.

05. Adopt this success formula: Preparation + Opportunity = Success

06. Don’t expect something for nothing… life rarely works that way.

07. Don’t sell yourself short… invest the time and money in the training and resources needed to achieve your goals.

08. Take massive action and as you develop action oriented habits they will become perpetual and second nature in your life.

09. Become comfortable when holding your vision… breakthrough all fears that arises along your journey toward achievement.

10. Recognize that you will be stepping outside of your comfort zone… you may be entering new territory, so maintain your focus.

Manifesting your vision is a process that requires a conscious effort on your part and an underlying belief in your ability make your dreams a reality. If you are inspired to share your thoughts on creating a vision feel free to scroll to the bottom of this article and post your comments below.

If my blog has provided value for you today, feel free to use the Facebook or Twitter buttons to share what you have discovered with your friends.

I have so much more to share and will do so in future post. I am here to help you succeed and create the businesses of your dreams. By being here you have placed action behind your intentions for which I am grateful.

Have a blessed day!

Things Get a Little Messy When the Stones Come Back at You

Glass+Houses1 Cyber Bullying Exist in the Traffic Exchange World

The pot has been boiling for months, you know the story, school yard bully throwing stones and tossing insults to other kids on the playground that is the worldwide web. Let me be clear, all of the players in this little dust-up are people I consider friends so with that said… what boiled to the surface has been in the soup for a while and many on the sidelines know it even if they would never say it.

If you run a Google search of recent comments I’ve posted on many traffic exchange related blogs you will discover that I am an advocate of letting people run their own businesses and furthermore recognizing that there are many ways to do so successfully. Social surfing vs old school non-social surfing, social sites vs non-social sites, owner provided customer support vs staff provided customer support, script A vs script B… nanner, nanner, nanner… how about try to make a few pennies a day vs why not a few hundred, building a chat presence vs building a list, and it goes on and on and on and on!  The truth is that there are many examples of successful sites and online business owners representative of each of these models and many more.

The truth is there has been a fair amount of “bullying” going on in conference rooms and on blogs over the past few months and the people being kicked around have many successes to their credit, they are proven leaders have thousands of customers and loyal followers. This post is not written to plead their case, feel sorry for them, or start picking sides… it’s not my style. I am merely an observer like most of you with an opinion that I am not afraid to express.

Sooner or later every bully get’s exposed on the play ground it’s an unwritten law of the universe. When it happens you recognize it immediately, like that famous scene from the movie “A Christmas Story” when Ralphie finally decides he has had enough. There is allot of sensitivity to school yard bullying these days so I hope you can appreciate my humor in sharing this video clip before I share my points.

Go ahead and press play… you know you can’t resist

0 Cyber Bullying Exist in the Traffic Exchange World

Click through to YouTube to watch the video

I hope you are laughing or I will never again attempt humor!

Now that you have had a little laugh you can appreciate what I have to say in all seriousness because it is a serious subject.

People who live in glass houses should never throw stones… that is not new and deep down inside we know this is great advice. The lesson becomes all too real and may even hurt when we realize that everyone of us lives in a glass house… yep all of us.

The next time you or I declare that we have the authority to decide what is the right way or the wrong way to run a business or assume the authority to elevate saints and cast out demons, we must recognize that we are serving no one and ultimately dis-serving ourselves. Remember the bully always get’s exposed in the end!

I recently spent a great evening at my high school reunion (never mind which year) and the bullies were no where to be found… seriously, they were no where! Bullies spend four years ruling their universe and making others lives miserable and then simply fade away. It is the nerds, the geeks, the respectful ones, the goody two shoes that grow up to be Bill Gates or Meg Whitman, Ghandi or Mother Teresa, the mentor or the teacher. They live rich lives… get all of the pretty girls and handsome guys… and rule their universe for a lifetime. Something to think about!

So I encourage you when given the choice to respect the freewill of others, to honor diversity that is the essence of community, to celebrate individuality, or to criticize others, make broad and damning statements, or cast other stones… chose the high road, the one that provides value for others and is grounded in truth.

Please share your thoughts by scrolling down to the bottom of this post and leaving your comments. I am here to help you succeed, to design that perfect vision of your Internet lifestyle and offer whatever assistance I can to make it your reality.

Have a blessed day!

Richard Branson Another Remarkable Chapter

Necker Island Fire 1 Richard Bransons Necker Island Home Burns

If you are a regular reader of my blog you may have seen prior post and videos I have shared featuring Sir Richard Branson. I am a great admirer of his entrepreneurial spirit and his accomplishments as the original Maverick Entrepreneur.

Richard Branson started from nothing and since his late teens has taken the risk and made necessary sacrifices to emerge as one of the most innovative and wealthy self starters of all time. He has become a billionaire as a result of hard work coupled with creativity and a flare that has made him very popular and love around the world. Along the way he has given away millions and helped thousands of people better their lives. Richard Branson’s causes are as big as his vision and imagination including ending poverty, saving the environment, furthering space exploration, and much more.

His home will be rebuilt and according to Mr. Branson… even better than before. The true loss was the journals, photographs, and other irreplaceable documents which chronicled the career that has spanned many decades, cultures, and industries. By God’s grace no one was injured and for that all of us as human beings can collectively extend our gratitude to everyone involved. I wanted to pause for a moment and share a few thoughts to consider.

If you are not familiar with Sir Richard, here is an insightful interview recorded March 2007 during a TED Conference and the interview holds several key business and life lessons. The interview is 29:55 in length and worth every minute. If you seek to learn how a billionaire thinks, how to extend a brand, and understand the rewards of taking risk – this interview is for you.

Who is Richard Branson?

Born in 1950 and educated at Stowe School were he founded his first venture Student magazine at the age of sixteen.

In 1970 Branson founded Virgin as a mail order record retailer, and shortly after opened a record shop on Oxford Street in the UK. In 1972 he built a recording studio in Oxfordshire where the first Virgin artist, Mike Oldfield, recorded ‘Tubular Bells’.

In 1977 Virgin signed the Sex Pistols and we went on to sign many household names from Culture Club to the Rolling Stones, helping to make Virgin Music one of the top six record companies in the world.

With around 200 companies in over 30 countries, the Virgin Group has now expanded into leisure, travel, tourism, mobile, broadband, TV, radio, music festivals, finance and health and through Virgin Green Fund Mr. Branson is investing in renewable energy and resource efficiency.

In closing

I owe much of my successes in life to developing a discipline to study successful people and a strong desire to understand how they think. I encourage you to do the same. Please take a few moments to scroll down to the bottom of this post and share your comments. I would love to read your thoughts and I would also be curious to know who has inspired you.

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

bethenny frankel forbes cover success 223x300 Learn to Embrace and Bust Your Personal Stories

I wanted to share another lesson with you from my recent trip to Vail, Colorado and what I have learned by looking inward and developing a clearer focus on my personal life vision. A few weeks ago I wrote a post on “manifesting your perfect life” and mentioned my intention to share other thoughts from what was a very reflective time for me. Today, we are going to talk about busting stories.

Bethenny Frankel has manifested the life of her greatest vision and truly has it all; a husband that loves her, a beautiful healthy child, good friends, a thriving career, mega-million dollar wealth, the respect of her peers and the admiration of her fans. All of this is true but Bethenny’s journey has not been easy and along the way she had to break a number of deep rooted stories formed over a lifetime of emotional abuse, parental cruelty and neglect.

I have followed Bethenny’s story as millions of others have by watching it all play out from her runner up status on Martha Stewart’s Apprentice, to the Real Housewives of New York, to Bethenny Gets Married, and continuing with Bethenny Ever-after. Sure, watching her story play-out has made for good television, yet the lessons are much bigger and provide the true value to be gleaned from the example she represents. Bethenny’s story serves as the perfect guide to what becomes possible when we decide to bust our stories.

The picture above is a thumbnail from the June 6, 2011 cover of Forbes Magazine which hit the news stands during my Vail visit and made for enlightened reading,  just a layer below the obvious.  After reading about the sale of her Skinnygirl Cocktails line to Jim Beam for a reported $120 million, I thought what a perfect reward and affirmation of Bethenny’s willingness to bust her stories and take control of her life vision.

Regardless of what you want to accomplish in your life; money, fame, respect, a happy family, a loving relationship, health, a fulfilling spiritual life, purpose, etc. You can accomplish it with the freedom of a clean slate and the best part is that you control it for yourself. No one gets to define you once you take back your power by embracing your past and then breaking the stories that no longer serve you or perhaps never did.

The 6 Steps to Busting Your Stories

  • Acknowledge your past and recognize that everything that has occurred in your life both good and not so good has resulted in your arrival in this moment. Whenever I begin beating myself up about choices I have made, I remind myself that another choice may have landed me in the wrong place at the wrong time or limited the opportunities I have today. Embracing your past provides you with the ability to gain power from the experiences you are proud of, happy about, and all that has molded you.
  •  Know Who You Are and refuse to let others define you. It is a flaw in human nature that we tend to judge people by their past and come to expect nothing more than what we have previously experienced. This can work against you by allowing others to control how you feel about yourself and what you will be able to accomplish in life. Make a clear decision to treat your past as prologue to your perfect future and be unapologetic when others become uncomfortable with your unwillingness to relive the old stories.
  • Set a Perfect New Vision of what you want your life to be in reality. Once you become clear on what you want, you will know the right questions to ask in order to bring it into physical reality. Witness as the people, resources and situations emerge in your life to make your vision real. Everything you need to achieve your clearly formed vision will appear and the old stories and stumbling blocks of the past will simply not matter or fail to show up at all.
  • Comfortably Hold Onto Your Vision as it begins to manifest in your life. The creation process will deliver results in your life more quickly based on your ability to comfortably hold your new vision and belief in the outcome you want. Despite of the challenges you face along your journey or sudden doubts that may appear, focus on your vision and maintain both an intellectual awareness and an emotional awareness of what you desire to achieve.
  • Act on Your Vision by showing up and engage in the creation process of life when you recognize an opportunity to take another step toward your perfect vision. Bust the stories that do not apply, overcome doubt, break through self-limiting beliefs and recognize that you do not need to have all of the answers at once. The path to your perfect life will unfold before you when you focus on the bigger vision.
  • Live in Gratitude for all you have experienced in your life, be thankful for what you have today and for the manifestations along your journey toward the life you have envisioned.

“Take the first step in faith. You do not have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Bethenny Frankel is just one of many people who have broken through and achieve fulfillment in many aspects of life. Regardless of how humble or grand your aspirations, you alone hold the keys. Tap into your God given power and set a vision worthy of your gifts and true desires.
