			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you know, branding an e-book has always been a task that takes time and effort, not to mention the necessity of owning your own website to deliver it. That just got so much easier for members of Pro Click Exchange.</p>
<p>You can now brand your copy of Pro Click Exchange Introduction without downloading a zip file or uploading the graphics and branded copy of your book to your own website. Now it&#8217;s possible to deliver your branded copy of the e-book with one single link, much like an affiliate link for other programs.</p>
<p>This has been made possible through a joint venture with <a href="http://www.powersurfcentral.com" target="_blank">Power Surf Central</a>. a joint venture between <a href="http://www.soaring4traffic.com/luvs/hitsafari.html" target="_blank">Paula Zuehlke</a> and myself, <a href="http://www.soaring4traffic.com" target="_blank">Ray White</a>.</p>
<p>The purpose for the joint venture was to provide members of both sites extra rewards for doing what they do everyday. Surf both exchanges regularly, remain active, and keep their sites in rotation as all should, 24/7. By providing these extra rewards in advertising credits, we have created a system to give members what they deserve. We discussed and searched for months on how best to achieve this goal.</p>
<p>Our motto is, You deserve it, now we have the system to provide it!</p>
<p>BUT, that was to be only our first step. We have other projects in the works, and tons more working to continually add more benefits for members who want and deserve them, which leads me to this announcement.</p>
<p>Power Surf Central is adding a resource center with an easy way to grab free re-brandable e-books. Not only a resource for the books, but an easy system to re-brand and deliver <strong>your</strong> branded copy.</p>
<p>Best way to describe this is by demonstrating the delivery page for the Pro Click Exchange Introduction E-Book. <a href="http://www.powersurfcentral.com/reports/?id=1&amp;b=5" target="_blank">Check it out HERE!</a>  Notice how you are provided with the download link, no email required. That is my branded copy of the book, delivered with an affiliate url.</p>
<p>That is the exact same page you could use to deliver your branded copy. Got it?  No website uploads needed.</p>
<p>Of course if you wanted to use the book as a free gift to gain new subscribers, you could have them subscribe to your list first, then give them your branded link, which would be the above page. <img src='http://www.proclickexchange.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Also note that instructions for rebranding the book are given. In this case to rebrand this book, instructions are given in the book itself and requires membership in Pro Click Exchange to get the details.</p>
<p>Those details are yours now after logging into your account at Pro Click Exchange and clicking on the &#8220;Marketing Resources&#8221; link. Members should check it out now, see how easy and smooth this operation really is.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any issues with the links, download, test, and rebrand your copy. Use the contact link or post your results here in comments. Since you are getting the first notification of this process, would like to know your opinions.</p>
<p>And of course, once you have done your branding process and given your link, start advertising it to build your PCE referrals. Read the book to know all the benefits of doing so.</p>
<p>By the way, after the one time process of setting up your branding links, you will find more reports to brand. This is an ongoing project, more will be added later for your benefit. So be sure to keep the login link to get your branded links.</p>
<p>Comments and questions welcome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Traffic Era first  began, all the TE owners promoted it claiming it was going to be the biggest thing to ever hit the internet.</p>
<p>Pure hype.  However, I jumped on the bandwagon and joined and then joined a team&#8230;007 Soaring4traffic.</p>
<p>Chatting with team members was and is a great feature of the exchange.  One thing I noticed when I first began&#8230;some people spend all of their waking time surfing Traffic Era.  C&#8217;mon get a life.  I enjoy surfing too but I like doing other things as well.</p>
<p>Many people joined teams because it was a novelty.  The team I am on was a good one at first but then too many members stopped participating.  The novelty wore off.   The team leader was having to spend too much of his time on Traffic Era and asked someone to take over.  That person was me.</p>
<p>Over a span of several months the team has always been in the top 20 teams despite numerous personnel changes and the team is currently stronger than it has ever been.</p>
<p>Here is what I like/don&#8217;t like about Traffic Era:</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Like &#8211; Too many inactive members.  I have 61 referrals and the majority have never surfed.  There are numerous teams where none of the members surf.  This is not good.</p>
<p>Like &#8211; The generosity of credits earned by surfing and the ability to sell those credits to upgrade your membership or help a team member upgrade.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Like &#8211; Members who write nasty blogs about other members and criticize members in chat rooms.  This is childish and has no place anywhere.  There are unteamed members with fantastic pvs who will not join a team because of backbiting, insults, and gossiping.</p>
<p>Like &#8211; If you are smart, you can pay for a platinum membership and sell enough credits for logibucks to upgrade in TS25, Hit Pulse, and Traffic Pods.</p>
<p>Like &#8211; My teammates.  They are a great group of people.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Like &#8211; The same teams being in the top 5 week after week.  All these teams have one thing in common&#8230;they have 1 or 2 members who are super sponsors&#8230;they attract the best surfers and no one can realistically compete with them.  This discourages other teams and they give up.</p>
<p>Like &#8211; The ability to earn tokens to trade for credits.</p>
<p>Like &#8211; Loyalty points.  Upgraded members earn points every month which results in your site being shown when you don&#8217;t have credits assigned to them.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Like &#8211; Recruiting.  The unteamed member list is basically a list of members with good pvs who don&#8217;t want to be a on a team.</p>
<p>Bottom line &#8211; Traffic Era is a good TE that needs a major overhaul.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Traffic is the single most important ingredient if you hope to be recognized to do anything on the Internet. It doesn’t matter how good you are at at your desired business without traffic (visitors to your site) nothing will happen. It’s been said that there are 3 types of marketers in the world.</p>
<p>There are those who make things happen there are those who watch things happen and all to many, particularly in the world of Internet Marketing, Wonder What Happened.</p>
<p>As for the third group it is generally the case because the face of the internet changes so quickly it becomes very difficult to keep up with and even more so If you are new. Not only does one need to learn the Hows Whats when where who and whys of the net they also must learn to get ahead of the changes and stay their.</p>
<p>This is hard enough even for the experienced marketer let alone for the Newbie. So what can be done?  How can one get ahead and establish themselves as a successful Internet Marketer?</p>
<p>The very first thing required to become recognized is summed up in one word and that is…Branding.</p>
<p>Branding or labeling Primarily yourself. By a constant stream of advertising your face and name everywhere and as often as you can. Why? So your potential <a href="http://www.traffictaxis.com/raycasey.php">customers see you realize your authority</a> and learn to trust you.</p>
<p>A good example can be seen in door to door sales, which more often has a very poor success rate. However, contact a good friend who has learned to trust you, as over a period of time you have gotten to know each other and they realise you are an authority on the product your selling.</p>
<p>Generally the sale is made for that reason. That Is Branding. You are branded by your friend as a Trusted authority because they know you over time. That is a must do If we are to be successful on the Internet. <a href="http://traffic-dispatch.com/01/firerider/taxis_01.php">We Must Brand Ourselves</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While there are many valid opinions on how best to build an internet business, list building has been my most recommended.</p>
<p>If you concentrate on building your list, it really doesn&#8217;t matter what unique niche your online business is concentrated in. This especially includes affiliate programs.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been online for any length of time and or using traffic exchanges, you know that advertising standard affiliate pages can and will show slow to zero results. Why? They are not unique, plus thousands of others are promoting the exact same page.</p>
<p>However, lets think a minute. What if you created a unique splash page, lead capture page and offered to divulge the inside secrets or detailed instructions of how to make money with your particular program? All anyone has to do is provide their name and email address to get all the facts from you.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say down the road you decide to broaden your niche into more products, or add more affiliate products. What if the program you were promoting all of a sudden disappeared? Hey, it happens all the time, but thats another story entirely.</p>
<p>Point is, if you have been building your list of subscribers, you didn&#8217;t lose your list/customers. They are still in your autoresponder and if you&#8217;ve built a good relationship with them it would be rather easy to point them in a different direction.</p>
<p>Confessing that for a couple of years, I didn&#8217;t embrace this method or truly understand the power it possessed. That changed of course when working for hours each day for maybe 2 years with little to show.</p>
<p>Hopefully this will allow each of you to at least consider the options and value the power of list building. To assist in a little more detail of how its done, tools needed, and ideas thrown in, I&#8217;ve created an email series for your review.</p>
<p>This series is aimed at providing the necessary steps to begin your list building system with zero to very little  cash investment. We call it <a href="http://www.soaring4traffic.com/lbs.php" target="_blank">List Building Simplified</a>.  There are no real secrets revealed, just simple steps needed, ideas for increasing your subscribers and the programs and tools that keep it low cost and effective.</p>
<p>One of the most effective uses for traffic exchange advertising is building your list. By providing this simple email series, my reward would be that your traffic exchange advertising become more effective, your income grows, and therefore you become a more excited and loyal traffic exchange member of my sites. <img src='http://www.proclickexchange.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The email series is provided at no charge. The lesson plans themselves are good training if you watch how each is presented.  We also offer you the opportunity to copy this email series to your own autoresponder once completed.</p>
<p>There is no obligation, you can unsubscribe anytime. This is the link for subscribing if you have the desire to embrace the concept of list building to improve your online business.  <a href="http://www.soaring4traffic.com/lbs.php" target="_blank">List Building Simplified </a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for today. Thanks for being a loyal and active member of Pro Click Exchange. You truly are PROS!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently received a letter from my friend Ray Casey&#8230;.</p>
<p>Haven&#8217;t heard of him?  You will.</p>
<p>A long read&#8230; but worth it.  Here&#8217;s what he says&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Like Lambs To the Slaughter/// Wiz Bang For Sale///<br />
Fizz Gig: Lifetimes Answer To Residual Income</strong></p>
<p>“OK!! Open Your Wallets. Sit Down And Read This!”  That’s about<br />
the only thing so called Internet Opportunities don&#8217;t say.</p>
<p>However that’s pretty much what they mean. You will only<br />
make a fortune if you purchase this Wiz Bang and find others<br />
to buy Wiz Bang and receive 25 times your money back<br />
47 levels deep!</p>
<p>Problem with that is I don&#8217;t know how to use a Wiz Bang but<br />
you guys know what you are doing so I will make the Purchase.<br />
Now all I need do with this new beaut Wiz Bang (who knows<br />
what it does) but it will make me rich.</p>
<p>All I have to do is flog it off to 5 people who will refer 5<br />
people who will refer 5 people who will&#8230;Phew!!  Think<br />
of the money once I get 23,407 downline members my<br />
Wiz Bang will have made me almost $69,000 and it<br />
works because the Guy in the ad says it does and he and 400<br />
others have made a killing from it. Plus It&#8217;s “Never Been Seen Before&#8230; “</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the amazing thing though you are on the ground floor as<br />
it is to be released in one Month. And you can&#8217;t advertise it yet<br />
just get to know your new beaut Wiz Bang (I still Can&#8217;t make it work)</p>
<p>How Did It Make 400 others rich if it has not been released???<br />
(Sorry for thinking)</p>
<p>Oh! now you have the Wiz Bang to make Real Money you are<br />
missing out If you don&#8217;t get the Fizz Gig only twice as much but<br />
one third the price if you get it now and don&#8217;t forget the monthly payments<br />
that you get life for&#8230; er&#8230;um&#8230;  ?? Oops residual for life. (Or until we close<br />
or change the rules) Did I write that out loud??? Hope not!!</p>
<p>I know I am being stupid, but any offer you are presented with do not<br />
rush into like I did. My interest was never to get rich but just to make<br />
a living off the Net.</p>
<p>I am not the type to swap and change regularly I worked hard to<br />
make my Wiz Bang, Fizz Gig business work. I only tried a few things<br />
and like a lamb to the slaughter I just followed the crowd up the<br />
gangway into the room and when I was carried out I was fleeced<br />
and my wallet had its throat cut and bled dry.</p>
<p>At last some pressure is off because you found a suc&#8230;ummm&#8230; referral<br />
to join under you but they only want the free Wiz Bang and not the<br />
Fizz Gig. So you live with it and welcome them encouraging them to<br />
refer offering assistance and they take you up on your offer. Fantastic<br />
you think.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m getting somewhere and If they don&#8217;t upgrade there Wiz<br />
Bang or Purchase the monthly Fizz Gig their new referral will. So<br />
together you find a second level who also loves the free Wiz Bang<br />
and wants help to refer so now your training your free first level to<br />
train your free second level and encouraging everyone to upgrade..<br />
Come on guys I&#8217;m bleedin here upgrade already!!! Finally you get<br />
someone to upgrade Yippee!!!</p>
<p>I have 22 free various level downline most of them you found to assist<br />
your first levels and to give depth to your width AND No I am not<br />
selling weight loss!! I am selling the Wiz Bang Concept. For the<br />
upgrade you receive a few dollars because they didn&#8217;t take the<br />
monthly Fizz Gig so I still do not get lifetime residual.</p>
<p>My downline numbers 153 that’s the truth mostly in traffic exchanges<br />
in Wiz Bang I now have 31 members 22 first line members I talk to<br />
them regularly assisting when and where I can But Now my time is<br />
getting taken up with my Members leaving me less time to do the<br />
other necessary things so now my family starts to suffer. So Time<br />
And Perseverance is becoming expensive along with the dehydrated<br />
wallet and smoking credit card I see disaster ahead.</p>
<p>At last your lucky or well earned break comes&#8230; You refer someone<br />
who upgrades not only that they don&#8217;t need your assistance as they<br />
refer two others who refer one each and everyone is a paying member&#8230;.<br />
For the first month&#8230;. Your new member decides this is not for them<br />
so move on taking the rest of your only prosperous downline with<br />
them; they then have the cheek to send the offer to you.</p>
<p>The rest of my hair fell out (finally fleeced) and my wallet died.<br />
(Bled to death) Like a lamb to the slaughter I followed the crowd and<br />
that was the result.</p>
<p>While all this happened to me and I am not saying it happens to<br />
everyone, but please stay with me while we look at what happens<br />
with some types of Internet Marketing.</p>
<p><strong>MLM </strong><br />
Generally product based which is great because you are not selling a concept<br />
only; you have a physically tangible product. So others are getting a product<br />
for their money. But your commission is usually peanuts compared to the price<br />
you pay for it upfront.</p>
<p>Some have no commission but rather a payment for bulk quantities. This can<br />
also be good as some rewards are high. Usually you have to have product<br />
on autoship, that means to sustain your level of entry you must have a<br />
standing order of sometimes several hundred dollars a month. For this you<br />
need to rely on your upline to tell you what is popular.</p>
<p>This can create a problem as what is popular in USA may not have the same<br />
following in France, Germany or Australia. You may find your garage<br />
filling up with unsalable product.</p>
<p>Can you see the wool starting to thin??? How’s the Wallet???</p>
<p>The concept works well in the perfect world and for some it works well in this<br />
world too. You not only sell products but also get others to sell the product as<br />
well and also the concept. Some companies have a monthly fee to provide<br />
residual income others use the product to provide the residual much needed<br />
for continued success.</p>
<p>So, you spend half your life on the phone finding others to purchase your<br />
products and concept and 25% marketing on the Internet with the final<br />
25% pushing it to your friends and relatives who eventually get fed up with<br />
you and start hiding when they see you coming.</p>
<p>The downfall I see and have experienced is the Autoship arrangement along<br />
with if you cancel it you loose or can loose your position with in the system.<br />
Sometimes you loose your downline as well. Generally within the contract some<br />
companies say you cannot be involved in another similar type of company as this<br />
is grounds for dismissal (Conflict Of Interest) Friend and family problems.</p>
<p>Continual weekly meetings also meeting times depending where you live,<br />
Referral of members who can&#8217;t or won&#8217;t refer and still others who could not<br />
sell hot coffee at the north pole to semi naked people for fear of rejection. I<br />
was trying to be funny!!</p>
<p>But the fear of rejection is overwhelming for a vast<br />
majority of people and I can attest to that myself. While I can go door to door<br />
to talk to people and don&#8217;t have a problem public speaking either, well a few<br />
nerves to start with but I have spoken to audiences of thousands&#8230; I cannot<br />
cold call people on the phone.</p>
<p>I know that’s crazy but it&#8217;s the truth as several of you who have spoken<br />
to me at one time or another know. I don&#8217;t know why and I don&#8217;t understand<br />
it either, but that’s me.</p>
<p>So with fear of rejection sitting inside most people and lazy Internet<br />
marketers who&#8217;ll work with you if you do it for them, will stunt<br />
business growth in MLM.</p>
<p>Oh, and there&#8217;s more!  I&#8217;ll let ya see that next week =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi!  Sunny here again&#8230;  I know you&#8217;re all thrilled.  (that was sarcasm, btw)</p>
<p>Today I was thinking about all the things that are important about Internet Marketing, and for me, I think the MOST important is FOCUS.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m entirely too ADD to focus on anything for any period of time, which makes Internet Marketing pretty tough for me.  I look back at past campaigns, you know, the ones that &#8220;didn&#8217;t work&#8221;..  and think to myself&#8230;  &#8220;Hm.  I only had 500 hits on that page, in 7 days.  You think THAT had something to do with it?&#8221;</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t until I read an ebook called: 30 Days to Internet Marketing Success by Joe Kumar.  Basically, it&#8217;s interviews with successful internet marketers, who answered the question, &#8220;What would you do if you had NO money, NO reputation, and had to start a business in 30 days?&#8221;  The focus was phenomenal.</p>
<p>I took basics from that, to start to build my website, Gobs of ebooks.</p>
<p>When I surf every day, make updates to the site, email my list, my business definitely grows.  When I start thinking, &#8220;Hey..  maybe I could do this&#8230;&#8221;  and stray from my main focus, everything comes to a screeching halt.</p>
<p>I do, however, have several projects in the works.  It&#8217;s tough finding the balance, and I read in that ebook to promote your current project 75%, and work on the NEW project 25% of your time.  If I focus on THAT, I can have success on down the line.</p>
<p>Hope you all have something to focus on!</p>
<p>Thanks for listening!</p>

I don&#8217;t know if ya&#8217;ll know me yet&#8230; But I&#8217;m Sunny.  I&#8217;m from wonderful wonderful Texas&#8230;  and extremely proud of it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello!!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if ya&#8217;ll know me yet&#8230; But I&#8217;m Sunny.  I&#8217;m from wonderful wonderful Texas&#8230;  and extremely proud of it.  I&#8217;ve been trying my hand at Internet Marketing for about 6 months now&#8230;  and I&#8217;ve not made very much money.  But&#8230;  I will.  Not sure WHEN&#8230; but.. I will =)</p>
<p>I&#8217;m doing aLOT of networking&#8230;  getting to know people online.. gaining their trust, etc.  It&#8217;s not easy&#8230; cuz I usually put my foot in my mouth&#8230; and have on MANY occasions&#8230;  but, I have stuck around and learned a few things.  One of the things that posting in forums has done for me, is that when I google my name (oh, I know you&#8217;ve done it too) I show up on a post in a forum.  A few months ago, I showed up in the number one spot, when I commented on the Soaring4Traffic Blog.  Cool, huh?  Hopefully I didn&#8217;t say anything stupid.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m starting to write a few articles and ebooks now&#8230;  which is why I decided to post here.  I just found an article&#8230; that talks ABOUT article writing&#8230; (wow&#8230; that&#8217;s confusing), and it was talkin about outlines, and introductions, and conclusions, and blahblahblah.  I guess that&#8217;s okay.  Well, I&#8217;m sure it is.  But in a blog, or a forum, where people just need to get to know people, and learn stuff, do I need all that&#8230;.  structure?  I know I&#8217;da stopped dead in my tracks if that&#8217;s how I started this one.</p>
<p>Now.. I do believe that I need to brainstorm a bit.  You know&#8230;  write down all that junk in my head, and get it not so full.  Then kinda organize the thoughts from there.  But, otherwise, I just try to write like I talk.  That&#8217;s why you&#8217;ll see &#8220;ya&#8217;ll&#8221; and &#8220;cuz&#8221; in my writing.  As I mentioned before, I&#8217;m from Texas.  Yes, I CAN spell&#8230; sometimes I just prefer not to.</p>
<p>Some of the cooler (in my opinion) articles on article writing are these:<br />
<a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Article-Writing-Mistakes---7-To-Avoid&amp;id=7709">Article Writing Mistakes &#8211; 7 To Avoid </a></p>
<p>by Christopher Knight (wasn&#8217;t that one of the actors on the Brady Bunch?)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.goarticles.com/articles/6.html">Write Some Articles!</a><br />
by David McKenzie</p>
<p>Okay&#8230;  so what do ya&#8217;ll think?</p>
<p>Pleeeease don&#8217;t leave me hangin, as the only one who posts here!  I&#8217;d love to get to know you!  (even if you&#8217;re not from Texas&#8230;)</p>
