A 'Zara's note' post

Yeah a post from me.

I was walking the dog today, and thinking about the "big all" of lead generation and the moving streams of traffic that the internet is (as you do, if you do!)

The park I go to is like a small circular one so we go round and round rather like in a washing machine - so my thoughts tend to follow a similar pattern and attraction marketing is kind of like drawing people into this washing machine of activity! You the marketer go round around virtual houses, like a betterware person might go around the houses on foot delivering their magazines.

On your route are different areas - the big estates of "new houses" is like facebook, then you know areas or niches that attract people, like the home business niche where people are actively looking or your opportunity - it's a case of drawing these different communities into your circle of influence


thinking about traffic exchanges and safelists
Now as I've said before traffic exchanges and safelists aren't really my personal cup of tea (in large doses) - BUT they appeal to some people, and I can't snub a potential source of leads - just because they are using a system I favor less than others.

Traffic exchanges have also quietly been improoving their looks and system - a bit like going to the gym, so while everyone is busy chasing leads, trying to figure out "the big puzzle" that is social networking, the old skool have been carrying on as usual, but maybe working a bit harder to bring their product up to scratch.

Long gone are the traffic exchanges littered with dodgey porn (boo hoo, some might cry!) but really in this day and age, having some male or female part thrown in your face on screen is a bout as crass as smoking in pubs or having your au pair whipping her bits out on the dining room table during family dinner, or something equally as odd :P

So no, traffic exchanges are are cleaned from nakedness, and the only pop up you might get is a flying in ad asking to join a marketing newsletter for tips and advice on selling!

This has opened them up to family friendly / safe viewing, so work at home moms can surf a few adverts with the kids running about in the background.

An element of fun has also come in, maybe they have learnt a thing or two from social networking apps in this respect - dragon surf for example is kinda cute, when it's time to view a new advert, you have to select the correct coloured dragon to continue :) - maybe it reminds me of reading book in bed with my mom as a toddler where you'd point at the pretty coloured image and match it to the correct image - hey but so what!

- think about it - if you had a choice in life as a job of clicking a few pretty pictures or working down a mine/ peddling wares on the cold rainy streets - clicking pictures is fine for me thanks.

The key I believe to working these exchanges is to have targeted, interested people using them, just like any other marketing.

My reason for using exchanges over the years has been to see what people are promoting in the network marketing industry - occasionally I will sign up to a splash page or buy a product - that is just my personal proof that the system works - I see the traffic exchange as a advertsing channel to WATCH as well as use for research, maybe like someone might watch TV to find out what brand of coffee is being promoted.

Point is - if I'm doing it, then others like me are doing it, and as a average Miss Doe (in many respects) that equals a market as if I am there - you can bet like a bunch of ants there are more of us!

Anyway that enough of me thinking out loud for the minute, speak soon! Zara x

Zara's note - Pageswirl is a key to getting sign ups for your downlines, which also surf for you - When marketers talk about any system running on "autopilot" - trafic exchanges and rotators are usually the "ground floor" part of that business - leads don't com out of thin air after all ! - you set the wheels in motion like cogs of a machine in a ship - your aim is to get from being the bloke that stokes the fire, to the bloke at the captain's table - maybe to eventually be captain.... me hearty's :P

Okay, Oay, OKAYYYY! What i'm using at the mo...

So you if you are wondering what this blog is about - it' simple , it's about me a REAL HUMAN looking at stuff that generates leads and traffic and subscribers - my personal favorite "genre" or niche of the marketing and lead field is "Attraction Marketing" - I remember Mike Dillard talking about it ages ago - but I was learning other things then and didn't grab the opportunity when it irst can out, but looking at how social network marketing and traditional 1.0 internet marketing have kind of parted company

- I truly think attraction marketing can fill that gap - the gap - is from a social networking angle - what the heck do I do with all these cyber buddies that don't want to be e-mailed ?! - you can't use traditional marketing on them as they are probably a mix of your friends, family and complete strangers that you play pokey with! - I know mine are - in a strange kind of way that's how it's ment to be - that is the challenge of the marketer!

You need a filtration process to separate people that might be interested in goods or service you offer via a group or buddies (it's still very "un cool" to mass e-mail people in your facebook group unless it's urgent - then you can only contact up to 20 people!) - but attraction marketing can sort this, so much so that I am redoing most of my profiles, group, websites etc. to reflect this in the next few weeks.

Doing Business Online: Get Leads In Real-time

Doing Business Online: Get Leads In Real-time

The advantages of doing business online—regardless of what industry you’re a part of—is the fact that you can enjoy the perks of a round-the-clock business without supervising it simultaneously. You also have the benefits of generating responses in real-time and creating an effective database from where you can store the crucial information in your business.

Real estate, like many other enterprises, relies heavily on the leads to which it can market its product. More than any other business enterprise, however, it has taken great advantage of the virtual realm of the Internet. Many arduous tasks usually performed by real estate agents have been facilitated or taken over by the Internet. This, however, has not been such a bad thing.

One of the most beneficial benefits of the Internet to the real estate industry is the fact that instead of having clients visiting open house shows or model units, they may opt to view the real estate in the comfort of their own home. This is done through virtual tours of any real estate property. Virtual tours can be advanced enough to integrate full navigation of a virtual counterpart of the unit or property you are selling.

Given that your would-be client has complete access to information you usually would provide in person, how then can you make sure that you can still get leads out of these virtual tours? Maximize the potential of the Internet and make sure that while they are clicking away in their virtual real estate tour, they provide you with further information through which you can get in touch with them or send them other information about your venture.

Another option is to tie up your content with the information you need. This means that for them to be able to view your real estate video or take a virtual tour, they will have to provide you with an email address or the like, or sign up for your newsletter. This way, you can keep track of who’s taking your virtual tours, and moreover, keep interested those who seem interested by providing supplementary materials right to their inboxes.

After the virtual tour, you may also create a page designed especially for online referrals. Don’t hesitate to ask the visitor to enter the email addresses of friends should he or she be impressed with the virtual tour. Send these referred email addresses links to your website and to the virtual tour, and you will find your leads increasing exponentially.
