Downline Builders Explained

Several sites have come out with a little tool that is just awesome: downline builders.

What IS A Downline Builder?

This is a simple page (sometimes several), that allow members of a site to add their own affiliate links from other programs. Then, when they promote that page, they are also promoting ALL their other links to all the other sites that are listed!

There are 3 at Traffic Pro List: one for safelists, one for traffic exchanges and one for miscellaneous marketing tools. Each one is a list of the top 20 or so sites for each type of marketing tool, each with two options: to put in a userID (if a member has already joined that program) or to join it then. Of course, they don't have to do either, but those are the options.

The point is, when I promote TPL and someone joins under me, this ensures that if they join using one of those builders, they will also join those programs under me, too. So, it's like TPL is giving me a way to market ALL my safelists and traffic exchanges on ONE page!

This is Awesome... so, if I'm going to promote a safelist, OF COURSE, I'm going to promote TPL! Heck, I'd promote TPL just BECAUSE they provide this extra service.

I mean, how cool is that?

Not only that, when I look over the page, I see other safelists and traffic exchanges I can join, too. (I'm always looking for new ones.) So, that's an additional incentive to use it, too. Plus, they're always adding new ones, so I keep checking back.

Basically, downline builders are another type of "Set it and forget it" advertising. And, at Traffic Pro List, it's FREE!--mo

The Ultimate Safelist Survival Guide

Every day lots of ebooks are written and, for the most part, they are not worth the paper they're printed on-- haha! (Not printed on paper, get it?)

But just the other day, a new ebook about safelist marketing came out, called The Ultimate Safelist Survival Guide, which is actually an ebook and 5 videos. Now, I happen to be familiar with one of the writers of this ebook, who is the site owner of the Dragon Surf Traffic Exchange, Soren Jordansen, and he asked me to read The USSG.

Let me tell you: I never push junk. And as a safelist marketer, I read through this ebook and watched all the videos -- and LEARNED SO MUCH about how to kick up my marketing within Safelists-- none of which involves getting pro accounts, I might add! There are so many little tips and tricks in this ebook, I couldn't believe it. And they come from someone who markets using safelists almost exclusively. In fact, he says he is known as the "Safelist King" which I must say is very true, having read the book.

It's not a long ebook (one of the great things about ebooks, if you ask me), only about 17 pages. But length has nothing to do with quality. In fact, because he jumps right in and wastes no extra space, I appreciate the fact that it's short. Heck, I often wonder why someone complains when an ebook is short... then, conversely, complains that there's too much to read on the internet.

The videos, too, are awesome. They show you, step-by-step, how to spend as little time as possible, yet get the most out of safelists. I've been seriously safelist marketing for over 6 months now and I must say, I learned a great deal about this field in just a few minutes.

The best part about The Ultimate Safelist Survival Guide is that the whole set (ebook and videos) is ONLY $7.00 and is an instant download, as soon as you pay.

If you thought you knew all there was to know about safelists, this book will open your eyes.--mo
