Lead SourcesOur lead sources are companies who specialize in finding network marketing leads- people like you who are actively seeking a home based business opportunity and open to hearing from you about yours. Some offer other services like training, autodialers, and autoresponders as well.
Autoresponders are indispensable for internet marketing. They are automated e-mail programs that allow you to enter a series of e-mails into the system one time and then upload your contact lists and have your e-mails sent to your whole list over time. Most will also allow people to subscribe themselves to your list simply by sending a blank e-mail to the list.
Ezines, Newsletters, Safelists, FFA's
These are various forms of publications that will allow you to advertise, some paid, some free, some by trading links or building organizations. We'll give you our take...
Start Page ProgramsStart Page Programs are programs that allow you to promote your site to their members in exchange for viewing other member's sites. Most all are free to join, some with paid upgrades. Many offer anywhere from 100-1000 free hits just for joining.
Banner Exchanges & Exit PagesIn order to use Banner Exchanges and Exit Pages, you must have your own website which you have control over and may insert HTML code into. (Write us to learn about a couple of possible work-arounds if you have a replicate or affiliate site.) This allows your banner to be shown on other websites in exchange for hosting one on yours. Exit pages are pop-under windows that show AFTER someone leaves your site, therefore not obstructing the view of your site or annoying your visitors.
Downline BuildersDownline building clubs help you build your downline in exchange for sharing their opportunities with you. This is an easy way to break into networking as most are some sort of forced matrix which forces upline sponsors to help build their downlines. Some allow you to promote your opportunity to other members or your downline. Some require you to join all their programs in order to maintain membership.
Miscellaneous Traffic Building ServicesAnything that doesn't fit easily into one of the above categories. Some are extremely powerful systems that utilize a combination of all of the above. Please don't overlook these programs!
