    Michael Harris got a reaction from weblord in What are your results when using Herculist   
    Have any of you gotten favoritable results while using Herculist. I decided to upgrade there about 6 months ago and have not gotten one sign-up or sale while using the site. I understand how membership sites like this are suppose to be used. I have offered a varied selection of free products, have offered to give away the farm, and have offered good low cost products when promoting sales material. And I have not received one optin. Now this would not seem strange to me if I hadn't used the same material other places online and got major results.
    If any of you are achieving better results please share.
    I even went as far as contacting their customer service but received no answer that would explain these null results. I did change my postings to fit their recommendations but still no results.

    Michael Harris got a reaction from jctenio in What 5 Products Would You Recommend To The Digital Marketer For 2019?   
    These are the programs I am recommending for my new members because i believe they will need programs like these to get started and have success.
    We know every marketer eventually will need an auto-responder account. I recommend Buildabizonline because of the cost , the ease of use, and simplicity of using it.
    For instant success a new list builder just came out and it is teaching 2 very important online processes. 1. It cost to have a business but is shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. 2. Instant money is made proving that you can make money online. This is paramount for new people. For this I recommend MakeMoneyEven. cost $10 but as soon as they join they are rewarded 410 instantly into their account. Now they have a powerful lead generator plus commissions.
    The next program that is without a doubt the most important, a payment processor. For this I recommend ORU. Paypal has really slowed many of us down. ORU is the answer and you can also promote inside our growing marketplace inside the membership. This is a must and any new person coming into marketing needs this from their entry. Another great business tool for lead generation is My Easy List Builder. It is a simple combination of free tools that helps ad to your list and get easy commissions. The last of my 5 recommendations is SEO Optomiser Pro which is an easy to learn and use SEO builder.
    These are my recommendations because with so many good programs out there it is easy to get lost. And as with all programs, they begin with free options but I challenge my new people to start out on top. And I show them that they don't have to ad the baby to make the payments. I hope thei help[s.

    Michael Harris got a reaction from QueenMaa in How important do you feel that grammar is in sending our ads and sharing our business platform   
    Wow, I see I am not the only one who experiences this and thanks for your feedback. My mother was an English teacher and my pop was a principal so I guess that is what causes me to wonder about grammar in our businesses. I try not to be over critical and understand why some of the grammar is wrong but if you are going to sell me something please double check the grammar, lol. Again thanks for all your feedback it is appreciated. 
    Oh, there is a wonderful free program called Grammarly that runs in your browser and does the same thing spell check does in a word document but Grammarly does it through the browser. So when I am putting an ad in, say a solo ad in a membership site, Grammarly catches the mispelled words and highlights them and provides a correct spelling or suggestion. Right now as I am writing this, Grammarly is at work finding the typos so I can fix them.

    Michael Harris got a reaction from Clare Bowen in Do You Prefer The Old Safelists or New Viral Mailers? - Why?   
    Hey I want to add a bit to this conversation. A year or 2 ago a friend and decided to run a little test to see which were the most responsive, the new smaller mailers or the large well-established mailers. we were somewhat surprised by our results. 
    We posted in sites that were over 1000 members versus sites that were either new and less than 200 members more or less. What we found was that the smaller sites outdid the larger sites and we believe it was because in the smaller sites the members actually took the time to read the mail. Our tracking testified to this as well. In the larger sites, people were only concerned with clicking for credits to mail their own mail. So you would get a lot of clicks but no sales and certainly no sign-ups. Remember they were only concerned with the credits. The smaller sites converted better and the sign-up rate was better. Now I still use the larger sites in my marketing but use a different strategy in the larger list. 
    i guess the saying "Less Is More'" is right in the instance.

    Michael Harris got a reaction from williems in How Can I Promote a VERY popular site?   
    I have had success highlighting a product that is a part of the main heavily promoted product, but a secondary product, because many people go after the main product. I know that sounds conflicting but not really if the product has several different products as part of the whole. As an example, there is a coffee company and people are absolutely crazy about the main product, the coffee. But after I researched the company and their product, I found that they also offered another product specifically for a certain health issue. In this case. they have a less known product that actually helped the body in battling sickle cell anemia. The product had been tested extensively and I have a friend whose child has the disease. I told her about the product and she tried it. Guess what, it worked. So she now promotes the less known product and makes a lot more than those who are fighting or competing for the main coffee product. 
    And I have found almost to my own unbelief, that there are so many products out there that are the same way. There is another company that sells health products and people are wild about the main products. But my wife for that the same company offers cleaning products that are out of this world and are made with health based ingredients. She does real good selling the lesser products.

    Michael Harris got a reaction from affilliate3percent in FURIOUS AT WEEBLY!   
    Well I agree with everything that has been said especially about if you are planning on trying to make money online don't use free hosting sites. But free hosting sites work well for informational sites. I use weebly for one of my church sites. I had a bad run with my first wordpress site. I mistakenly used a word that they didn't agree on. not a sentence but one word and my site was shut down and lost forever. so after years of searching for the right type of hosting I wanted and my conclusion was to do it myself, and i did. I own my dedicated servers and host all my sites myself. At the present i am hosting 28 sites. And when I need a new domain, I purchase from myself. I also use cPanels to build my sites. I believe this is the best way. 
    And my domains are lower cost than go daddy's especially after you get that 1st domain. the next will double or tripple your cost.
    With a cPanel you are totally in control and if you are not comfortable using it, you can always find someone who can help. 
    If you want to find out more go to http://mss-mac.com and check out what we do. Once there check out out traditional hosting plus our cpanel hosting.

    Michael Harris got a reaction from bobbyk1 in What About Traffic Monsoon?   
    Very interesting topic here and I have used these sites myself. But my strategy is always about traffic. Lots of people who understand how these rev sites work flock to them. Then on the other side of the coin are people who have no idea what they are doing or are trying to break the cash code to monetary riches. Either way, it all means more and more people inside the programs. So, because of the influx of the members i join these sites strictly for advertising purposes and never expecting to make money. What money I do make i reinvest into more traffic. Most of the time it is the owner of these programs that make money and that doesn't make me mad either. I use these rev sites to try new products, split test emails and so on. But for me it is the traffic. Right now I am doing AdsPayPro and it follows the same format as most of these sites do. I have even joined sites I knew were scams but the traffic I generated was worth it.With the cost some of the solo ad sellers are selling for clicks, sometimes the traffic I get in rev sites is superior to the solo ad clicks I have bought. I know this veers off the subject just a bit, but the last solos I have purchased from supposed top sellers in Udemi and Safe Sways have not produced the results i have been getting from these sites. Traffic , traffic, traffic is the name of the game for me. But depending on how you work it, you can break even, get some sales and referrals, and make a little money in rev sites, just be wise and careful.

    Michael Harris got a reaction from Steve Jones in Autoresponder Series   
    Steve, there is a site called Lead Capture Page Boss and I have used them for years. I like them because they will provide for you templates and autoresponder messages already loaded 
    for each template. I started here because I was not sure of just where to start with my messages. But after working here and using their tools I got a great understanding of how auto-responses 
    work and how they could be set up. You can use the templates or add your own spin to the messages. Point is, that by seeing what is already set-up, you will quickly learn the process.
    It is totally free or you can up-grade after you get familiar with the system. I really think they are great and I always send my downline members there first, to learn how it is done.
    Here's the link,  go check it out and i believe this might just be what you are looking for.  http://www.leadcapturepageboss.com/admin/order.php?user=drmehsr
    Enjoy

    Michael Harris got a reaction from oldbuddy in RT Rebrandable Traffic - Does Anyone know How This Service Really Works?   
    Hello, I have bought several packages from Rebrandable Traffic and they have delivered as they promised. I got the visitors to my sites as paid for but traffic is traffic. I got not 1 optin and certainly not a sale. 
    I was giving away a fantastic free e-book and usually if the traffic is legit most of the time somebody will grab at least 1 free ebook. So, I have gotten to the point that I drive my own traffic because that way I
    know where it is coming from and how fresh it is. What I am doing now is really targeting the traffic I get and that takes time but is the best kind of traffic to get in my opinion. And I must say also, traffic isn't
    the main problem for me, but fine tuning my offers and the ad copy I use. I try to think about what made me click or buy, and then try to model that. I also find a problem in my niche, provide a solution,
    and quickly give a benefit of using my offer. And I try to do this with as few words as I can. Finally as for Rebrandable, when I looked at the list of places that they get the traffic from, I was excited at first
    because I have used some of their sources in the past and did well, That is why I was disappointed with my results. I do it for myself now, saves me time and noney.
    Hope that helps.
