I do not do 'lifetime' with start-ups. Too risky. Many do not grow and others go under. I have done several 'lifetime' with well known admins who have a long history and that has worked out quite well.

I have never done a study, but my hypnosis training tells me that images are very important to people. So, yes I always send in color + a picture or HTML on sites that allow those functions.

You can make money on the internet, but it's not easy and you have to be very careful. Be sure to do your due diligence. If you do not understand this term, it is important enough for you do look it up in a dictionary! As most people know by now, there are huge numbers of scams out there, trying to separate you from your money. I hope you are not fooled by the obvious ones that promise you millions in a very short period of time. If you are so naive to fall for that B.S., you have no business using the internet for fast profit. You will end up with fast losses! Be realistic. Most people do not have the know-how, time, or money to start a new program. If you are sophisticated enough, or know people who you can partner with, you have a chance to succeed on your own. But, for most of us, we are looking for ways to promote either our own little web sites or the web sites of affiliate programs that we like. So, for these people; you need to know how and where to advertise and how to build a list, if you are so inclined. Most people are involved in some of the following activities to build their affiliate programs. 1. Safe Lists & Opt-In Lists. 2. Surfing sites & Classifieds. 3. Viral & rotator ads. 4. TEs (Traffic Exchanges) 5. Leads - you have to purchase these. 6. Blogs - very time consuming, but they work to some degree. 7. Bulk Email - where you pay someone and your ad goes on their server. And then there is bulk email stealth software that goes on your computer, but I think it is illegal in quite a few states and spam is never a good idea. 8. HYIPs - for those who want fast returns without doing anything - you know - so called passive income. HYIP stands for high-yield investment programs and the people who get involved with these are high-risk gamblers. Most of these fall apart in time and the majority of the investors lose everything. A few people get out with their profit before the thing collapses. How did they know when to get out? hmmm. I have been networking for over 20 years and have seen my share of scams. I have lost money. I have made money. Over $250,000 in one MLM. I am telling you that the people who make the most money are the ones who take the time and put in the effort and the money to run their own programs. I applaud them. It is hard work and requires dedication and patience. I run a small private list Called the "ACTIVE PLAYERS" List. No one sees this list but me. I test many affiliate programs. I look for programs that are new, exciting, exclusive, lucrative and have little or no competition. I join the ones I believe will be successful. When I find one that fits most of my criteria, I send out a blurb to the people on the "LIST". I usually send an email approximately once per month or every other month. If you want to be on this list of go-getters, just email me. You will not be contacted by other members of the list and I will never sell or expose your email to anyone. Prosperous regards, Martin Levine

I like a mixture of all of the above. Viral mailers seem to work quite well. Recently I have done very well with Maryanne Myers Profit Ring. http://www.1profitring.com/nestegg2.gif

Two important things to remember. 1. Don't sweat the small stuff. 2. Everything is small stuff.

A few things to keep in mind: Not all sites that do not respond are scams. The site admin may have had an emergency and given a chance, may respond in a few days. The site may be down for an update. Should the admin have warned you about the update? That would have been nice. Not being paid? The problem might be with paypal or payza, etc. Also, the site may have crashed through no fault of the owner and he or she may be working like mad behind the scenes to get it running a again. Don't rush to judgement. One last thought. This is an interesting topic and I would like to add that one of the reasons I advertise multiple sites instead of sticking with only one for six months is because of the reasons stated above.

Well, up until now I have not had any use for Zubees. Seemed like a waste of time. But since Darren is offering it I'll give it a try

It also depends to whom you are marketing. Many seniors do not like smart phones. On the other hand, There are a whole bunch of people who do not have a landline any more. I think it's important to keep in mind the age group, the product and ease of use when you are doing your marketing. But, in general, more and more people worldwide are using their smart phones to conduct business, so the answer is YES; using your smart phone is an important option in todays marketplace.

If you cannot afford to set up your own website to sell prods to the public , i.e. something they really need, want or desire, then you're stuck with the slow way of earning $ by advertising someone elses website. Or you could get a job!

I coined the following phrase, years ago, when I was matriculating through a psyche course. It was applicable to that profession and is also important in marketing. Your sales will increase if you are able to reach people at an emotional level. Here is my quote: "EMOTIONS ARE STRONGER THAN INTELLECT" [Jerry Levine]

I tried empowr. It was addicting in the beginning and therefore way to time-consuming. Also when I tried to reach the admin it was a real hassle. It took some time, but I did get my $ back.

I like my two desktop computers. Big keyboard and big screen. I use my cell to keep in touch with the out-of-town grandkids and to get instant answers to various questions from Google.

Has anyone joined Zabang yet? Is it working?

I only mail my list once per month. As you can see from the few people who responded here, we are all getting bombarded with too many emails already.

Sometimes I do well with paid and sometimes with free. I might be worthwhile upgrading so your ads go out to more people and more often.

I agree with oldbuddy. I joined also. Figured if I couldn't find two, I should not be in MLM, network marketing, or affiliate programs. http://instanttrafficgeneration.com/links/16000

One technique for getting red of spam, that most of us overlook, is simply creating a new gmail account.

AMWAY - long before the internet. Great Direct selling company. Much easier now-a-days - people can order online. Talk about residual income - I still earn money every month from the work I did 20 years ago.
