Aside – The call was great and if you did not attend you should go pay for the replay and transcript which will be available next week. Sign up here and you can get it at $20 savings before the 9th.

They were discussing 14 different ways to get targeted traffic to your sites. The thing is some of the ways they both used and some of the ways only one used extensively.

The key was to get good at a specific way and understand how to use it in a time efficient manner. Then track the results so you know what your return is on your effort.

Too often we try to do all 14 things at once. We end up doing none of them well and have absolutely no idea what worked and what didn’t. (Notice the use of we I have definitely been guilty of this.) All too often nothing works because none of the many things were done properly.

Here is an example. If you want to use Twitter to drive traffic you need to understand a few things.

1. How to get targeted followers
2. What tools to use (most are free)
3. How to track your results
4. How to manage your time effectively.

See Twitter can be addictive and become a huge time drain. Manage your time and know your results and you can realistically decide if it is worth your effort once you are using it properly. Just go out and do an occasional tweet and then be sucked in to the socializing and it can be a business killer. (To better use Twitter check out Advanced Twitter Marketing – gets two thumbs up from me.)

Willie talked about article marketing and how a single article could make thousands of dollars but most don’t and you need to be doing more than just a few to get that kind of response.

Like blogging it is the sum total of what you are doing that will make it powerful and work the best for you. Just doing one article and deciding if it is worthwhile will rarely work for you.

The point is that YOU need to get good at one thing at a time. Focus in on it and tweak it then and only then add a new item. Test and track all of them and as you keep adding more ways for traffic put your time and effort where you get the best return. Each person’s business will be different.

All of the 14 ways covered in last night’s call work and can help your business but only if you take the time to get good at them one at a time. The same applies to all aspects of your business.

Go sign up and grab the discount on the call and transcript while you can then start applying them one at a time to grow your business.

Taking the time to accomplish at least one step to improve your business is the key. It is a brand new month and the year is half gone. Are you satisfied?

I am not but then I wasn’t taking action for a couple months. May and June have been fantastic but March and April sucked. I spent as much time on my business in those months but I was in a funk and not completing things. Too much perfectionism and not enough “Git R Done”.

The difference is amazing in my bank account and that is the ultimate measuring stick.

Today is an example. Had a lot to get accomplished and I want to go chase the white ball among the trees this afternoon. After all through the rest of this holiday week end it will be too crowded at the golf course.

Will be leaving for there as soon as I finish this post. Here is the morning schedule.

• Got up and made coffee always my first priority
• Fed the turtles and sat down to check email and support
• Shared the overnight items from my Google reader that were worthwhile
• Sent out the daily ezine
• Ate breakfast
• Ran to the supermarket
• Added the new month of content to Super Traffic MRR to drip out later this month
• Created the new freebies for Freebie Friday
• Created the offer for Saturday Seven
• Attended Marlon Sanders A Team call
• Did my blog post

Now I am off to chase the little white ball under every tree on the course. What did you get done?

P.S. Don’t forget the Traffic Tips Call with Doug Champigny and Willie Crawford tonight at 9pm. You need to sign up to attend. There will be a replay but it will be a paid product so you really don’t want to miss this call.

PLR or private label rights products are often looked down upon by a number of people but using them properly they can be a great tool to build your business.

Here are 5 different ways you can use PLR to increase your business.

1. Create your own product for sale
2. Create an ethical bribe for your list building
3. Create your email follow up series
4. Create blog content
5. Create video content

Before we get into each item you do need to understand that this will take a bit of that dang old 4 letter word – WORK. But it takes a lot less than it would to start from scratch. Someone has done the bulk of the research for you.

For an example we will discuss how you could take a few PLR products and make a complete sales and traffic system from it. This will usually take a complete PLR package or a few PLR products on the same topic. This is a model I use regularly.

Create Your Own Product

This is where most people usually start out using PLR products. You find a quality product on a topic you have researched and found to have profit potential.

Edit the book, audio or video that you got. Add in your own referral links for related products. Change up the graphics and either create or edit the sales letter. You now have a new product.

For more information on using PLR check out The PLR Tutorial Videos.

Create An Ethical Bribe

To get someone to sign up to your list you need to have something of value. I call this your ethical bribe because that is what you are doing. Bribing them to give you permission to contact them in return for what ever you are giving away. It needs to have a value that overcomes their reluctance to get more email.

Depending on what type of product you created this can be an audio interview, a free video or a report/e-book of some type.

The process is similar to creating your own product with PLR except this time you will be adding a squeeze page instead of a sales page.

For more information on list building check out Accelerated List Building.

Create An Email Follow Up Series

This will allow you to easily populate the follow up series for the people that have signed up through your squeeze page. You can use an article pack or split apart a report to create an ongoing series of emails each of which will send people to your sales letter or another related affiliate product.

Now you have a way to keep in touch with prospective customers and continue the conversation and build the relationship with your potential customers.

For more information on creating and using email marketing check out Email Promos Exposed.

Create Blog Content

Blogs especially properly set up WordPress blogs are loved by the search engines. This can allow you to get free traffic from the search engines. Using PLR articles that you have re-written or splitting apart a PLR ebook can allow you to target the keywords for your product.

Link from each blog post to your squeeze page system and you now have a good traffic source to start building your list. Let the email follow ups send them to your product.

Create Video Content

Video through You Tube and other sites can be a great way to generate traffic. PLR video can be easily edited to create these videos or you can use article content to create a power point video by adding the article content and doing a voice over of it.

You will find that video PLR is readily available and can make great products also.

For more information on using PLR video check out Using PLR Videos.

Conclusion

These are 5 ways that you can use PLR to build your business. Just make sure that you double check the rights document that comes with all PLR. Not all items called PLR have the same rights and you want to make sure that you do not violate the rights for any package.

Combine all 5 and you have a complete marketing system for your new product.

Mike Paetzold uses PLR extensively in various niche markets. To discover how to find and prove out niche markets check out his Niche Affiliate System.

Other Ponderings – Rambling from the Old Bald Guy

One of the things that causes people to fail in building an online business is information overload. It comes about because you never take the time to complete anything.

Learn to shut off your email, messengers and all the distractions for set periods of work. Look at the items on your to do list and what you can complete this week and just finish them.

Don’t be distracted by the next shiny objection If you can’t use something right now ignore it. If it is any good it will be there when you do need it or something else will be that is better.

This rambling sounds funny coming in a post where there are more than one shiny objects but there are a wide range of readers here. Not everything I talk abut is for every person.

Each person is at a different point and I try to let each of you know exactly who different things fit. If it fits check them out but if it is something that is going to cause you a new learning curve ignore it for now.

Get out of learning mode and just do it. Your business will grow much faster and the fog will lift.

Have a great weekend.

Now Pat has worked for Tellman Knudsen for the last few years and together they have put together a new program where Pat and Tellman share the secrets to “Spider Language”.

Now list building is one thing I preach all the time. Whether you are a niche marketer, a blogger or marketing in any area list building is not only necessary but a necessity.

I am actually a bit surprised to be writing this review to be truthful as I have created list building products in the past. I still sell a product called Beginners List Formula on a consistent basis. I rarely look for other people’s products for list building.

After receiving emails from 3 or 4 people I trust recommending Accelerated List Building I figured I needed to check it out. Increasing my knowledge is something I am always willing to do. At a price of $10 I figured this would be so -so. I bought it anyhow. See the receipt below.

Yes I probably could have gotten a copy if I asked but as my average subscriber is worth at least a $1 I figured that just one idea that added 10 subscribers would make it a worth while investment.

After reviewing it the bulk of it was common knowledge for me but was exactly what I teach people all the time. The basics in the beginning were a good review. There was one tip in there on page 6 that I use in a different way but is a killer idea I will be adding that with a twist to my list building.

When I got to his traffic strategies that is where the meat was for me. The strategy layed out on page 16 is a new twist I should have picked up on. Guess it takes a young whippersnapper to see things a bit differently.

Good overall content and a definite worth while investment for anyone willing to put the techniques into effect.

If you are looking for a magic bullet this is not it. If you understand that applying this will take effort and you are willing to do just that go grab your copy of Accelerated List Building and start applying it. As a disclosure all the links in this post are my affiliate links. I am a marketer after all .
