ViralURL is my recommendation for tracking
2 purposes
1. Tracking. "If it is not being measured, it cannot be improved" – W. Edwards Deming
2. Cloaking. Stops unscrupulous marketers from "stealing" your affiliate sales by masking your affiliate ID
Bit.ly is a LIBERIAN domain extension and is blocked by many sites and ISPs
Q. Trying to figure out how to exchange credits for points, then exchange points for ads or cash. I’m confused here.
A. On Leads2Cash for example, to trade credits for a banner ad:
Go into Setup/Buy Ads
Click Buy Banners
Pay using your credits

New video explains setup and where to get image and target url
The target URL is your affiliate ID, a cloaked URL, or landing page so when the banner is clicked, it is whatever you have setup
Ideally the flow should be: Landing Page ->Autoresponder Opt-in confirmation-> Redirect to affiliate ID
The way I would approach this for now is to cloak your affiliate ID using Viralurl or SoManyHits
Use the shortened link as the targeturl everywhere.
Consider giving shortened links a descriptive name ie /lkl2c for (your initials) (site abbreviation)
Once you can create a landing page using your lead capture program, then make the affiliate ID the landing page redirect in your autoresponder, then make the shortened link you have already created point to the landing page This is an advantage of using the link shortener because you can use the shortened link on every safelist or traffic exchange as your target URL, and you can change out the actual URL without having to go back to update each place you used that targeturl.

There are literally thousands of safelists. I recommend in my book that you join 1 new safelist every day.
Back to strategy…
Priority: send emails to promote your primary streams of income (WorldProfit, TDL, 1Goldmine)
Secondary: Post banners, buttons, and text ads on those safelist sites for your primary streams of income, and
Tertiary: Post emails, banners, buttons for safelist sites that can earn the most commission for you. For instance,

Email Management 101
Create and manage gmail filters
http://grabcashtoday.com/gmailfilter
I create gmail filters for each of the new sites I join. At first, I create a label (folder), and redirect them to that label (skip inbox, send to label xxx, do not send to spam, do not mark important). This makes it handy to find them, and allows you to click only the emails you need to click for points rather than opening/clicking everything offering points.
If it looks like it is a site I will be clicking emails to get points, I leave them in a label, otherwise I change to delete
I create several administrative labels:
!!!ActionRequired
!!!Review Later
!!!Receipts
!!!Saved Emails
I create major project labels:
!!WorldProfit
!!YourViral Sites
Trick to keep your important folders at the top of the list…
put one or more exclamation points at the beginning of the label name. The more ! the more important.
For those things not redirected to labels…
Email Triage:
As I am reviewing emails, I move messages (the folder icon) to the appropriate folder
Email Action Times: 3-4 times per day
Morning, Noon, Late Day I review the Admin Folders and work the emails that require action
Those things I cannot resolve, they go on my Gmail Task list for short term, Gmail calendar for scheduling, reminders of deadlines and benchmarks
CONTROL YOUR EMAIL – DON’T LET YOUR EMAIL CONTROL YOU!

I am now retired but my consulting firm has been helping small businesses get started, grow, and succeed since 1997. My success with OFFLINE businesses did not carry forward to my own results when I transitioned to ONLINE businesses (translation: total failure as a network marketer).
I was manipulated, lied to, scammed (for over $25k), broke, and totally frustrated. I bounced from program to program, not making a dime, but I was also gun-shy and wary of being burnt again so I never got positioned to effectively build a list, and avoided making ANY investment into my own business so I could start earning any appreciable income.
I took a chance trusting someone who brought me in to WorldProfit. I learned how to build a list (or more accurately, lists) by promoting only landing (lead capture) pages. I learned about autoresponders and the importance of FOLLOWUP. No matter what you promote, it’s important to build your list and the best way to do that is using an autoresponder. People rarely make buying decisions on first exposure. In fact, it takes 7-11 exposures to move someone from LEAD (curious) to PROSPECT (interest) to CUSTOMER (buyer). So by getting them on a list, you can then follow up to educate and inform so they can make a purchase decision. An autoresponder can send emails that can automatically do that followup, and allow you to broadcast to your list.
The secret then is to promote only landing pages that capture your leads. The training at WorldProfit got me on the right track. Here is an excerpt from today’s WorldProfit dealer newsletter:
Top Sellers understand when promoting you never promote a sales page or a buy now order page.
They know that you only promote landing pages, or squeeze pages that offer something for free.
Why? So you can generate LEADS and build your email marketing list.
We include the landing pages for the free offers in your member area.
Some of you have been promoting the ONE YEAR Membership offer to Safelists. This is a mistake!
What you should be promoting to the Safelists are the landing pages that offer free traffic!
You are FAR MORE LIKELY to generate sales by enticing someone to inquire about our free traffic offers then you are to ask them to buy something right off the bat. Think about it. You, yourself, aren’t you more likely to respond to an ad when you are offered something for free, then when someone says BUY NOW? Making sales has a lot to do with building trust and growing relationships with people, it starts with an Associate and can convert to a sale/upgrade if you follow Worldprofit’s training. Once people sign up for our free Associate Membership they can learn all about Worldprofit and the various products and services we offer, then we can start to nurture what we hope is a long term business relationship.
I was still involved in way too many affiliate programs so I focused on only a few, and found my niche owning and running safelists. I started out renting safelists to get an instant list that I could grow, but more importantly, a place I could promote, and get free Supernetwork Solos as an owner.
I DID start to invest in TRAFFIC, specifically solo ads, SuperSolos, and EFFECTIVE traffic sources. It is a NUMBERS GAME, so the more exposures, the more likely you will see results.
Autoresponder Suggestions
TeamEliteHomeBusinesses has a great unlimited autoresponder for 1/4th the cost of Aweber (~$5/month), and has many Done-For-You landing pages and campaigns that allow you to get a running start.
Another suggestion might be a "Team Build" that helps you build your downline with paid members. I have experience with team builds – some good, some bad. I have been working with Kevin Waldron for several years, and trust HIS team, build called Team Easy Profits Academy. $5 one-time to join. AIOP is the "product" – an autoresponder that costs $11.45 per month but pays $10 for each paid downline (pass up every other one). All the campaigns, and landing pages are Done-For-You. With the Team Build you promote the TEAM links, and when people move into the "hot seat" paid members are moved under them. It takes 3-6 months to get into profit but it then becomes easy to grow that revenue stream.
What to Promote
Promoting WorldProfit as a free associate is somewhat limiting: only several products (although good ones) and you earn only 5%. Good start but my recommendation is to upgrade to Silver.
I m a believer in multiple streams of income. You have that with WorldProfit. But it is OK to promote other affiliate programs too.
WorldProfit is my primary revenue source. My safelists second, but I still suggest promoting a mix of affiliate programs too. Start with free-to-join or low-cost affiliate programs that allow you to grow.
Strategy
Build a "portfolio" of offerings that can start to generate revenue. In addition to WorldProfit, promote several "streams of income" that allow you to join free then as you start to earn, upgrade to earn higher commissions.
The Light Bulb Shines At Last
One other thing that I had forgotten when I bridged from OFFLINE to ONLINE marketing: It didn’t change, I just didn’t know how to do it: MARKETING IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS. I was VERY good at it offline but until I started to get PERSONAL CONTACT with my "ONLINE" leads, I was not making conversions. If I can TALK with someone, or communicate one-on-one (personal emails like this, screen sharing, webinars) with someone who is SERIOUS, I can close a sale. But my goal is NOT to close sales, but to build a RELATIONSHIP. I am a great teacher. The sales will come.
Just some back-of-the-napkin notes to let you know this IS DOABLE to get started on a small budget, then keep focus to grow and expand. Ultimately, I would like to see you get into WorldProfit as a Silver member so you get the training, tools and resources to make this profitable.
Question:
How can I use my 6000 credits to advertise ads?
Answer:
The system mailer does not require extra points until membership reaches 5000. You can send system/credit mail every couple days (depending on membership level).
If you promote using affiliate tools, and generate referrals, you can email your referrals.
You can trade points for ads. For instance, you can trade:
To earn more points, login to the site.
It takes very little time to generate a boatload of credits using ONSITE methods.
Upgraded members get huge ad and credit packs, and receive MONTHLY ads and credits. The GOLD 2nd Chance OTO is the best deal: $17 one-time. Earns 50% of Sales.
Speaking of referrals,
Think about how long it takes to generate 100 clicks on a solo ad or credit mail. ONE Global Viral Super Solo consistently delivers over 100 clicks for EACH Solo Ad. It costs $3.99, or 5 for $14.99.
Most safelist solo ads deliver less than 2% CTR (1-10 clicks). SuperNetwok Solos are still safelist solos but you are generating 2% for EACH SITE, and there are DOZENS of sites and tens of thousands of members connected to these SuperNetworks.
My other sites have a variety of SuperNetworks installed. My favorites are Speedy, TopApex, EQSolos, and GlobalViral. All have ads that deliver 100+ clicks and cost under $7 each. Bulk pricing is available.
Lifetime Banner and Lifetime Text Ads never expire. These are truly a value. And they are given priority in the display queue (shown first and more often)
Every site is different, and you should post some test ads.

People ask how I send 250,000-500,000 emails per day.
Planning, Organization, Routine, Follow-up
I would follow Joe’s lead. He promotes the WorldProfit TEHB page and other Supernet pages. All leads go to the Supernet message group.
Be sure you update your TEHB profile with the affiliate IDs
I used the Background Capture Page tool to create my own landing page for 1GoldMine. Supernet Group, Redirect to 1Goldmine affiliate ID
>>>>> http://grabcashtoday.com/1goldmine
I vary Joe’s method somewhat: every day I promote 3 primary programs, and a spattering of safelists. I promote to:
Routine tasks
Every few days I look at TEHB leads. Any leads more than a couple weeks old get moved to the SuperNet group. Older Leads with score=0 I shift to another message group just to keep the email flow going but eventually they get moved back to SuperNet. When transferring, do not click the box to send an instant message.
Likewise with GetResponse and Aweber – they get shifted to my Clickbank list

Q. Where do you get ideas for Autoresponder Messages?
A. Many Sources.I have SO many campaigns in Aweber, GetResponse, TEHB, GVO and WorldProfit. Aweber and Getresponse are "program-topic" message streams, ie targeted for specific programs I have joined. For instance, many JVZoo programs are tied directly to the JVZoo version of Getresponse through an API and they provide Done-For-You campaigns.
Honestly, I am sending most leads to the TEHB SuperNet series. I copied the series from the bottom section of TEHB Autoresponse Messages to the top so I could add to it. The Supernet series is spaced way too far apart for me so I am adding my own messages in between the stock published stream (It’s designed so you can do that). I send many "informational" messages in addition to promos.
Sources of "informational" messages:
Sources of promos
I like TEHB ( TeamEliteHomeBusinesses)because I can move people to the main Supernet stream, no matter what campaign they signed up under. I look at my lead groups, and give them 10 days or so if their score is > 0. I then transfer everybody in the "other groups" at the end of that group stream or score=0 to the Supernet group (hint don’t send instant message when you transfer)

I had an extensive discussion with a fellow WorldProfit dealer. We talked about many things, but this helps me recall so I don’t go "duh" the next time we talk… I also thought of other things after we hung up.
