Today's Progress

I manually submitted my advertisement to about 50 safe lists today. So far I have one new downline member. It was very time consuming and tedious. I have seen some software out there that can automate the process for me but until today I didn't realize the need for it. I am going to hold off on using it for awhile, at least until I see if I get some positive results. So far I spent about 5 hours for one referral. That is not good enough. If I get enough members who buy from this site then I will invest in the software that automates the submission process.

My Viral Website has a promotional tool specifically designed for safe list advertising. The upgrade product, The-Best-Deal-Ever, as it is called has an ebook that goes over using safe lists for advertising. It also goes over a few other business promotion ideas. I am learning and implementing new ideas. I am reporting my results here. Keep coming back to see how I do and see if it is worth it for you to try.

One method of free advertising that I haven't tried with this product yet is writing and submitting an article about it. I guess I am going to have to get creative if I want to do this effectively. I have written articles for other products before but I don't know of too many article submission sites that will allow you to put affiliate links in your article. I guess they don't want blatant advertisements, they are looking for content of value. So, for right now, I am going to stick with safe lists, and maybe even some free classified ads. That will be part of tomorrow's work.

My First Impression

My Viral Website seems to be a good idea. This site allows you to promote many different clickbank products to your visitors. If someone signs up to this site because of your referral you get credited for it. Not only do you get credit if they buy a clickbank product but you also get their name and email adress which allows you to send them other promotions, tips, or whatever you choose to send to them.

I haven't referred anyone to it at the time of this writing but I am working on it. One of the techniques I am using is mass emails through Safe lists. This is an idea I got from an affiliate product offered through the up sells from My Viral Website. I am using a safe list called Herculist and some others that I will cover on another site for Safe list pros and cons. Another one of the features of the site is something called a URL cloaker. I understand the concept of a link cloaker but I am not yet sure how to use it.

That is the downside of this website. It isn't the easiest thing in the world to use and there are not specific instructions. I am still looking through it and the other affiliate programs it suggests you sign up for. The good part about it is that you can sign up for it for free.

As far as what I would do with the list I would be creating from this site I am not yet sure. I will look further into the features of the program and report on them in my next posting.
