Web Traffic Techniques You Can Use Right Now for 2006

Friday, January 25th, 2008

As you probably know, getting web traffic to your site is one of the three most crucial components to making any money online. In Mark Joyner’s Internet Intelligence Manuscript (Volume II) he clearly explains how any web traffic (not just “targeted traffic”) can be made profitable, by mentally framing, or conditioning your visitors to become receptible to your offer.

One of the easiest ways to mentally re-frame your visitors upon entry to your site, is to walk them through a three-step process that:

A) Grabs their immediate attention with a promise of benefit
B) Pre-Qualifies them before they get to your sales letter
C) Follows up with them over time with new content and reminders of your offer

Keep in mind, web traffic is just one component of the three required to sustain sales.

The other two are:

1. Testing new advertising campaigns and ad copy
2. Tracking and keeping records of your results from each campaign

Here’s an example case study of the three-step process…

On December 16th 2005, my book “The Instant Traffic Formula 2006″ was released to teach internet entreprenuers how to create, attract and monetize responsive web traffic to any web site or affiliate program. As of today, my web site, which uses the exact techniques taught in the book is averaging a 64.86% visitor-to-lead conversion, and an average sales conversion ranging from 4.69% up to 11.36% all-around from the redirect, which is currently netting me just over $1.48 per unique visitor to my site.

Again, these statistics do not take follow-ups into account. These are “straight-out-of-the-gate” type sales that occur within minutes of my visitors signing up to read my sales letter.

And you can do this too.

I follow a simple formula to create web traffic, qualified leads, responsive subscribers, loyal customers and even active affiliates who promote anything and everything I sell online.

You can sum up the entire formula into the three major components I mentioned above, and create a fail-proof success system for your products, services and affiliate programs. After you’ve activated the formula, the best way to keep the momentum of traffic, leads and sales coming in on a consistent and even predictable basis, is in three words…

What those three words are, and how to use them by combining eight other powerful elements is carefully documented inside my book. But here’s the process I used personally on my site:

1. My visitor is directed through a tracking link (or affiliate link) to a lead capture page called a “Name Squeeze” where prospects give their contact information in order to get details of my report.

2. Upon submitting their contact information, they are immediately directed to my sales page for the details, and offer for the Instant Traffic Formula Scientific Marketing Report.

3. My follow-up autoresponder system immediately sends them an email reminding them of my offer, giving a few testimonials of the report and sends them a link to check it out at another time. A few days later, they receive reminders of my offer, more quality feedback of my report, new articles and content about getting web traffic, and again - links back to my sales letter.

The lead capture page serves to “pre-qualify” visitors who actually want to read my sales letter to find out more about my offer. I’ve heard a lot of people claim many visitors (and sales) can be lost by forcing your prospects to “do something” before they get to your offer — but my direct experimentation and results show the majority (64.86%) of visitors who hit my site, sign up.

Once my visitors sign up, they become leads and are set into my autoresponder system to receive consistent follow-ups until they buy, or unsubscribe.

Thankfully, the autoresponder service I use allows me to easily direct my new subscribers to a custom “Thank You” page. Most web marketers still use the “default” thank you page and their subscribers are returned to a “thanks for subscribing - now close the window” type message. Useless.

My thank you page re-directs to a tested sales letter that continues the mental conditioning process by giving in-direct answers to questions that were created in the mind of my prospects upon reading, and signing up from my Name Squeeze.

Now that my three elements are together, I combine them with “CII” or the three most powerful words in all of marketing, and achieve phenomenal and consistent results over time.

Using just this part of the formula alone, can cause a massive shift in your bottom line. However, when the complete formula is both discovered and activated, you’ll have a direct funnel to bring money “out of thin air” to you whenever you like, and for whatever you want.

Do this. Think of something you’d like to have.

Anything. It can be anything. Don’t limit yourself.

A new car, a new house, a nice expensive necklace for a loved one — anything.

Now put a price on it.

That’s your goal. Your intention.

Write it down.

Next, get out a calculator and punch in the price of what you want.

Divide that number by the price for whatever item you want to sell.

Round up to the nearest whole number, and you’ve got a definite number.

This number equals the amount of sales you’ll need to get your wish.

Now use the formula described in this article, and funnel the correct amount of sales into your business, by getting the traffic, pre-qualifying them, and going for the sale using CII to guide you along every step of the way — until you reach your desired number of sales.

Once the sales you’ve accumulated equal your desired amount, you get your wish.

Try it for yourself and see the power in this technique to create anything you want.

Above all, stay focused… keep the momentum… and enjoy your prosperity in the new year!

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Step 2 - Find out about all the different hair extensions methods.

Hair extensions have been around since ancient times. In one way or another, people have been adding to or extending their hair for hundreds of years. Many of the methods used to attach the hair have been transformed and improved over the years. Many of today’s methods are much faster and can cause less damage to the natural hair.

For any hair extension method, you will need either human or synthetic hair extensions. These come in various forms and the quality can vary greatly. For additional info on the hair used, refer to our online detailed coverage of Step 2 to getting hair extensions at http://www.hairresources.net

The basic ways to attach hair extensions are: bonding, fusion, weaving, braiding + sewn in, locs, links, tubes, braiding and tape.

Bonding: This is the quickest method. A bonding glue is applied onto the weft of the extension hair and then applied at the root of your hair. This is a temporary method.

Fusion: This is a process done strand by strand in small sections. Various types of adhesive based material is used to add the extension hair directly to your own hair. Many celebrities have this type of hair extension since it looks like the extension hair grew out of your own head.

Weaving: Corn rows or tracks are created around the head and close to the scalp. Extension hair, or wefts of hair are sewn on the tracks. Your own hair lays over the tracks for a natural look.

Braiding: Similar to weaving above, tiny braids are created close to the scalp and the extension hair is sewn directly into the braids.

Locs, Links: Tiny locs or links are used to hold the extension hair to strands of your natural hair

Tubes: Uses tiny little plastic tubes that ’shrink-wrapped’ the extension hair into your own natural hair.

Tape: Various kinds of special tape can be used to attach hair extensions

This concludes Step 2 to getting hair extensions. Understand the methods used to attach hair extensions and the different types of hair that is used.

You Don’t Have to Live With Stiff Neck Pain

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Getting quality sleep has, for many, become an elusive goal in the modern day. We work longer hours, take less time off, and try to overcompensate by micromanaging what little free time is available to in order to enjoy all facets of our lives. More and more of us are becoming aware that we are fatigued, and this is further exaggerated by the countless advertisements and commercials that discuss the number of Americans who are not getting good sleep. Many of us wake up daily with sore muscles and stiff necks. Nothing is more tiresome than the combination of exhaustion and neck pain.

Complications caused from lack of sleep can detrimentally affect existing medical conditions such as high blood pressure. Furthermore, improper sleep can be attributed to lowering the immunity system and can cause depression and anxiety disorders in many people. Over a period of time, lack of quality sleep can turn into a serious sleep disorder, so resolving the problem is a necessity.

So are you destined to face the above complications without any form of relief? Thankfully, the answer is no. There are quite a few remedies that can help people to develop the ability to gain restful sleep. Obviously, treatment for any existing medical condition, including stiff neck treatment is necessary. An objective evaluation of one’s environment and behavior is necessary to resolve this dilemma. A healthy sleep pattern is contingent on a few basic rules that can be personalized for any individual. These are a healthy diet, exercise, and most of all, a comfortable sleeping environment.

A healthy diet and exercise program have been proven to not only reduce risks for certain medical conditions, but they are also known to reduce stress and to assist in sleep comfort. Stress is a leading contributor to many chronic health conditions as well as causing an imbalance in sleep patterns. Exercise does not have to be strenuous, a simple walk a few times a week is more than sufficient. A healthy diet also includes the reduction of caffeine and alcoholic intake, as well as reducing food consumption in the evening hours, which has been shown to prohibit some from sleeping better.

A thorough look at one’s sleeping environment is extremely important. Not only should one make sure the room they sleep in is dark and quiet, but also taking a close look at the bed and pillow is extremely important. The mattress should be of good quality and the sheets and blankets clean and comfortable. Pillows are quite important as they support the head and neck during rest. Stiff neck pain is one of the leading causes of disrupted sleep patterns, and finding the proper pillow is essential. Over the years, sleep pillows have become widely recognized as improving sleep comfort due to their design, which invites comfort and proper body, neck, and head alignment. Visco elastic or “memory foam” pillow have been recommended by doctors and chiropractors across the world. Many attribute their new-found and consistent sleep and dream patterns completely to a new sleep pillow.

While poor sleep habits and stiff neck pain are most definitely serious complications to one’s health, by taking the appropriate measures outlined above, you’ll be sleeping like you were meant to and you’ll feel fully rested in no time.

Ocean Heal Me

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Ocean Heal Me

Ocean heal my wounds
Let your waves curl and foam on my body
Wash away blood, heal scars

Ocean renew me with your power
As unceasingly you roll
Giving strength that’s been drained

Ocean keep me warm
Wrap me in your brine
Caress me with your tides

Ocean disperse my tears
As they flow in you
I cleanse my soul

Ocean let me grow in your depths
Color me vibrant blue, coral, green
Clear = revitalized

Ocean your spray anoints me
Cool and refreshed
My spiritual renewal

Ocean be my friend
Hold me flowing in your currents
Ever moving, ever changing

Ocean, heal me.
