Twitter is hot right now. It’s inevitable that it’s not going to last. It’s the Ecclesiastes rule of the Internet: everything will wash away.

Is it going to be 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? I have no clue. It won’t be mothballed, just as myspace.com will have content of some sort in 10 years.

But, let’s think long term: I consider twitter an important way to connect. There hasn’t been a single social media service that has survived and stayed king. Each one has learned something from the mistakes that happened before, but we saw everything from Geocities to Yahoo Chat to LiveJounral to MySpace have their day in the sun… then begin the march towards irrelevance.

Twitter may last longer, but is it gonna be “it” in 10 years?
Probably not. But we’re making friends here. We’re connecting.
We’re building tribes. But, how do we ensure our value is OURS and not Twitters? How do we make sure that we’re not dependent on twitter?

Here’s how to make your tribe yours–and not just people you met on Twitter:

• Really engage, really connect. Take the relationship off of twitter, exchange emails, and enter everyone into a CRM/SYSTEM. (But see #3: The point is to help them, not just you).

• See people in person. If you’re getting local, seeing people off of Twitter is a big way to keep ‘em in your tribe.

• Connect people. Connect people that need widgets with people that have them. Make it a habit. Do it for free, don’t put your foot in the door (big mistake I made, always wanting a cut).

• Do favors. Unbidden. Don’t ask for anything in return, be the nice guy that people always remember. Help folks. Nobody wants to be ‘drip marketed’ to, but they do remember when someone helps them. Be that guy. Don’t even think that they owe you one. Kill your entitlementality.

• Be mentally ready. I’m guessing that there will be Twitter for 20 years. I’m also guessing that at some point it will become a nostalgia site. Be ready for that day. When twitter dies, you’ll be prepared because you’ve practiced the essentials of networking. When it erodes, we will have used it to gather a good tribe, and then our tribe will go off wherever we go when twitter meets with it’s inevitable doom.

First of all… is your list YOUR list? And even if it is… a list is worthless!
Whoa, didn’t expect that from me, right? This post and video explains what I mean by
that…

There is some information you may not be aware of about theTRAFFICplan or how it works that may
help you in your thinking process about it…

First off, I’ve been marketing online full time over 8 years and have made significant income through
that time.

The #1 importance in online marketing is in building your own list… but not only
that… it’s even more important to build relationships of trust with your list by delivering valuable content and being transparent.

TheTRAFFICplan is designed to build YOUR list. You connect it with your own autoresponder using Aweber or GetResponse. I don’t need your traffic… YOU do. So, that was a primary fundamental consideration when we began to design it. Although complete newbie marketers who don’t have an autoresponder yet can just use the built in autoresponders for convenience, but we teach them right away that it’s a COMPLETE WASTE of time to not get their own $20/mth autoresponder if they are anywhere serious about being an internet marketer… it’s simply not a conversation I want to have, period.

People don’t know HOW to attract targeted prospects and they don’t know HOW to build a list.

Chances are that if you don’t have a list now, it’s THE primary reason you haven’t made money online.

Many people THINK they know how to build a list and they create landing pages and offers that
do not convert opt ins…

That’s the problem.

The other misconception however, is that people get so paranoid or over-protective about their list…
but fail to realize that “THEIR” prospects are also opting into every other website on the planet and
there is nothing you can do about it.

This is why building a relationship with your list by delivering quality content is so critical.

People want to “protect” “THEIR” list… when in fact the mere having of a list means absolutely
nothing.

It’s the relationship with your list that holds them to you. People receive thousands of email messages
every day asking them to opt in here and opt in there…

And now in addition to that, they go and follow everybody on twitter and facebook… youtube and
a whole host of social networking sites…

There is NOTHING that can be done to protect or shield “your” list… they are not “our” list… we
do not own them… not anymore…

So that’s why TheTRAFFICplan’s actual training and the relationship building tools and resources are
even more important than a mere collection of capture pages…

Having a massive list is completely worthless these days unless you’re building a relationship with
them.

Without the support and leverage of a SYSTEM to help you do this… you have to do it all by yourself.

Without experience… and competing with people like me and others that have an established
presence and the systems built already to leverage… you don’t stand a chance… unless you can reinvent the wheel well and fast.

That’s why we created TheTRAFFICplan… it not only allows to learn how to generate traffic and be attractive to a target audience…

It not only allows you to build YOUR OWN LIST on YOUR AUTORESPONDER…

But it goes further to what others are not even teaching…

It shows you HOW TO build relationships of trust with the people on your list, and it gives you the tools needed to get that job done (as you review the whole tour you’ll see the free resources and
tools)…

This allows you the advantage to start building relationships and promoting your own programs or
affiliate offers BEFORE your competition figures this part out… and then HOPEFULLY your leads actually like and trust you…

Because if they don’t like you… know you… or trust you…

It doesn’t matter what system you use or how to try to protect “your” list… they are not owned by
you and they will not pay attention to your messages… They will find others and opt in everywhere
else…

So, that’s why TheTRAFFICplan was built.

To help people do a couple things they are OBVIOUSLY not doing now (obvious because so few are
actually making money)…

1. Teach you direct response marketing and how to do it online.

2. Build YOUR list.

3. Show you how to start building relationships with your list

4. Show you how to monetize your list building.

It’s a free community.

There are products inside that we pay commissions on even to free members… there are affiliate
links inside that are coded to you so you can generate passive income while I promote certain tools
etc… and there is a place to showcase your primary program and affiliate products… if you wish.

NOTHING is mandatory. You don’t “NEED” theTRAFFICplan.

You can do all this on your own like I did.

Just measure your results. And test. If you don’t make money it’s PURELY because your own
marketing doesn’t work… it’s not about companies, programs or systems… it’s about the marketing
competence of the individual.

I promote a variety of programs and products successfully with my ONE system… in an organized
way… and it’s pretty simple.

Hope this helps…

Jim Yaghi is a protégé of Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring fame and in this course he details how he used Google pay-per-click to explode his business online.

Jim Yaghi is the # 1 affiliate for the “Magnetic Sponsoring” ebook by Mike Dillard. That has got to tell you that this guy knows his stuff.

What Do You Get

Included in the course you get a series of 14 online video, 3 pdf format resources, and 2 recorded Q&A calls. The videos are very detailed and take you step-by-step through the process of developing a successful and profitable Google ad campaign. And you don’t have to be a techie to understand what Jim goes through. He assumes that you are a newbie so everything is covered and no knowledge is assumed. The format of the videos is the tutorial followed by a hands on workshop where you do the steps that Jim has just taught you. By the time you finish the course, your specifically targeted Google ad campaign is ready for launch.

Conclusion

Jim Yaghi’s PPC Domination is a comprehensive video course that covers pay per click advertising for the network marketer whether they are a newbie or an experienced internet advertiser. The step-by-step guidance in the tutorials and the homework assignment helps the student to come out with an effective targeted Google ad campaign upon completion of the course. What makes this really relevant to the network marketer is this course is specifically for the network marketer and provides keyword ideas that are not covered in any other course. I would highly recommend this for any network marketer who wants to kickstart their internet network marketing business. I would also recommend it to those network marketers who are building their internet network marketing business with social media and attraction marketing as those techniques take some time to generate traffic while a properly tweaked Google AdWords program can generate traffic almost immediately. The final version of the Pay Per Click Domination course is launching shortly (January 19, 2009) so make sure you keep an eye out for it.

I started my blog about 3 months ago using a WordPress Dream Theme developed by the “Internet Genius” Ben Cope!!!  Yes, there are many many different themes available, but I must encourage you not to go with anything else other than a WordPress blog.

The major factor is a WordPress Blog can be put on your own server which gets you better SEO!  The free Word Press blogs are good, but the next step up is to at least purchase WordPress Theme and host it on your own server.  If you contact my good friend Ben Cope, he’ll take care of everything for you.

Now, the main reason for my post is to tell you about a specific PLUGIN.  A plugin is a software module you can incorporate onto your WordPress self hosted blog.  Plugins can be free, but then you can also purchase plugins too.

TweetMyBlog plugin literally transforms your TWITTER account and your WordPress Blog into a Viral Traffic Monster…and it’s totally FREE!!!

Every time you post at your blog, the TweetMyBlog plugin will automatically post a tweet, complete with the full link back to your blog.

This alone will create an avalanche traffic to your blog, but it gets really powerful….

Watch my Video review, then download your FREE TweetMyBlog Plugin at http://tweetmyblog.RickyandSandirecommends.com

What if you could help schools, churches, clubs, organizations, etc. raise hundreds and thousands of dollars doing an activity they’re already doing and it won’t cost them a dime?

What if you could benefit financially at the same time and it didn’t cost you a dime?

Does that interest you?

Great, let me introduce to you Fundit Benefit Bar!!!

I KNOW we have all heard of Yahoo. Right? Well, this company Fundit Benefit Bar, a 2 year old company that has already helped thousands of organizations has partnered with Yahoo.

They will create a custom Search Bar branded to your organization or group. Every time someone in the group uses this custom search bar, then clicks on one of the sponsored advertisers, the organization receives a full 10 cents. That’s a dime for every search for every person that has downloaded from their own customized search bar. That is why the Fundit Beneft Bar’s quote is “a dime every time.” Oh, and by the way you can earn a penny on each click that is done.

Let’s do the math. Get 10 groups with a total of 5000 Benefit Bars installed, and they only do 1 search per day – that would be $500 a day to those groups or $15,000 per month and that means you earn a whopping $1500 for the month! Help more organizations in your community and get 20,000 Benefit Bars installed and you are looking at a RECURRING, RESIDUAL INCOME of $6000.00 per month.

These figures are very conservative considering on how many searches are done on the internet today.

Wow!! Yes, this is for REAL. Think about it, you are able to HELP those who need it the most and your success will be rewarded by HELPING OTHERS. Fundit Benefit’s mission is “TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE LIVE IN.”

And our “Fundit For Life Team” is the #1 team out there, so if you decide to join with us, you will have all the support and help you can possibly need. That is our pledge to you.

http://www.funditbenefitbar.com Explains how non-profits, not-for-profits, or any organization can earn just by searching on their OWN Customized Search Bar.
