HYPE ! WOW ! Summary !

Do you like hype in you inbox, from sales letters or from
program managers after you have joined their program?
.
To put it mildly, - probably NOT. But "HYPE" has 2 sides.
.
* One is that it does work at least for some of the
recipients (and newbies) or the senders would not keep
doing it.  These promoters are absolutely "brutal" and
relentless in their efforts to get you to buy or buy the
upsell(s).  In fact all the well known big money earners
believe in high pressure "HYPE" communications.  Once
on their email list, - you are on there for life. And they
will tell any affiliate that they must operate the same
way if they want to make any money and their success
is proof that it works!?!?
.
* Secondly, the writers behind the HYPE are very
professional and purpose driven in their persuasive
efforts.  They are flat out "good" at their efforts or
they would get replaced with some one who may do a
better job. Success of the promoters online business
may depend a lot on the effectiveness of these sales
writings.  Therefore it is a good idea to study the sales
stuff you receive to see if you can swipe some good
thoughts, writings, etc., for use in your own sales efforts
(be sure to use your own words when you do).  This is
a very good source for promotional ideas, - DON'T LET
IT GO TO WASTE! Keep a ever growing file for it.
It is gold.
.
* Summary!  However, if you don't want to see the HYPE
at all, there is a very simple remedy.. The good ol' Filter!

Reviewing Traffic Exchanges ???

Some time ago a colleague was considering starting a serious
campaign using several traffic exchanges to promote a new
internet business in a niche he had researched thoroughly.

After checking several TEs he settled on 5 to test. He predetermined
that he would use all of them for 90 days. He "bribed" his 13 year old daughter to do most of the surfing! He also took advantage of the
offers to purchase packages of credits that were offered when starting
a new account with each of the TEs (sound familiar?).

He started all TEs on the same day........

I was very interested in how this "test" would turn out because both
he and I have been in the IM industry for a few years and had tried
TEs on very limited efforts before. The big difference here was that
after 45 days he UPGRADED in all 5 TEs! Cost: approximately $200.00.

********************

Summary: Not good! First 45 days, - a very weak response. Second
45 days, about 20% better. Dollar wise, he netted approximately
$365.00. Very disappointing! (...for a LOT of surfing)

WHY? Well it could because of several factors. He had adjusted the
text in his adds. He had timed some of the releases as to when the ads would run, - he checked his hit counters regularly, - but the month
was May (summer time was not the best season), - maybe his niche was
not as good as indicated in his research.

So promotion/advertising is still a gamble and usually no where near as
good as "advertised" by those promoting a certain advertising method.

Due Diligence is still "The Order of The Day"!
