GOFER's Rant - Pro Traffic Exchanges & Your Business
Why not you? Or stated in another manner - why should you put
out the bucks to upgrade in a traffic exchange? The majority of
members just do not see the need to upgrade in any traffic exchange.

Why is this trend so prevalent? There is probably thousands of
reasons and millions of excuses. Are you afraid of success? Think
you will be wasting your money? WIIFM - What's In It For Me?

Some people in the world truly cannot afford to upgrade as they are
very poor; so they must use every free means at their disposal to
generate traffic to their website or earn money by viewing other
people's sites. 

But for others...

FEAR - we believe that is the biggest reason. Probably fear of
commitment or I'm never going to make any money with that traffic
exchange - the fear of success. What a nasty 4-letter word!

Don't let fear hold you back. Take the upgrade process one step at
a time until you have made redeemable commissions you can use to
upgrade in other pro traffic exchanges. Yes, you have to promote
the reasons why people should upgrade.  You are promoting your
own web pages, aren't you?  Tell people WIIFM!

Let go of your fear - we can show you exactly how, where and why to
promote the pro traffic exchanges. Then you can earn AND receive
commissions quickly...repeat this process with the cash you've
earned and very soon you are making substantial profit.

So step out of your cozy little corner of the world (your comfort
zone) and try upgrading in one pro traffic exchange. We will guide
you every step of the way and you will soon see results - cash in
your pocket!

FEAR is the root of failure - are you going to be yet another
failure statistic? Get help now and learn to earn cash the proven
way!  Click Here To Go To Our Product Recommendation in our
Signature line below.

SUCCESS is the result of overcoming FEAR - get rid of it now!

System and Data File Backups?
Has your computer ever got to where you couldn't do anything?
Its a scary situation and the mind does great tricks on you; then
the horror and terror starts to sink in! Never fear, you do have a
backup - don't you?

We've all been there at one time or another. We just experienced a
problem such as that this past Thursday. My computer was running so
slow it wouldn't even come up correctly! So after several
unsuccessful attempts to get the computer to completely initialize,
we took a drastic step. We took a deep breath; said a few prayers;
and did a startup using Safe Mode hoping it would be successful.
Thankfully the system came up OK. Next we did something I'd never
done before except in a test mode: a registry restore from a good
backup.

How did we do that?
With all the hackers and scammers out there today preying on people,
we learned a couple of years ago to have a backup copy of our
computer's registry. We currently use a commercial package and are
not going to mention the name here - just do a Google search for
"registry backup software". There are freeware versions as well.

Remember your registry backup is only good for your current computer
configuration or a previous configuration if you just installed some
new software or hardware to your computer.

REMEMBER:

If you are going to install or delete software or add/remove hardware,
first you should create another registry backup as well.

TIP:
Invest in an external hard drive - they are getting more inexpensive
every week. BUT...do NOT leave it connected to your computer all
the time. Why - a hacker can reach that hard drive just as easy as
they can reach your main hard drive! Keep it disconnected until you
are ready to run backups.

Then set your firewall software to allow no Internet/outside
activity - period - not even programs you have authorized to
communicate with the outside world! Now connect that external hard
drive to your computer - normally through a USB cable and run your
backups - registry and your data files.

When the backups are completed...we run ours during the early
morning hours while we're sleeping...then disconnect your external
hard drive and unlock your firewall to allow communication with the
outside world.

Presto! You have good backups of your registry and your data files
hackers cannot reach. Now that is what we call safety!

If you desire to know the registry backup tool we are using, please

We will discuss the use of a modified version of Fred Langa's data
backup script. We will even make it possible for you to obtain a copy!

This Week's Lesson:
Review the backup procedures you employ to make sure you are
protecting your valuable business data and your computer.

That might be just a simple statement but the failure to do so can
be catastrophic to your business! So don't put it off another
minute - make sure you computer and data is backed up in a safe
location.

Make it part of your overall business plan - the neck it could save
just might be your own!

More About Swipe Files

Did You Create Your Swipe File?
More about that in a moment...

emails have attachments as well. If you don't know who it is
from, delete it right now - do not open it - period! More info
can be obtained from a Snopes posting at:

GOFER's Rant
While surfing this week, we have seen more than our share of
advertisements for 1Up and 2Up programs. These are the ones
where your upline sponsor receives your first 1 or 2 commission
payments before you receive anything.

Unfortunately the majority of budding internet marketers only
receive anywhere from 1-3 signups/downline members in any
program. So why give away your hard earned commissions to your
upline sponsor? You did all the work to recruit new members, so
the commissions should rightfully be yours!

Our advice:
Stay clear of such programs, it will save you lots of wasted
effort and heartache. Go with the programs that pay YOU for your
work - be your own boss and keep your money! Remember...if its
sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

----------------------------------------------------------------

More In-Depth Swipe File Info
Last week, our requested lesson/assignment was to create a swipe
file about the Moneylegs program and share it with your team.
Did you get at least started putting info into your swipe file?

Remember...your swipe file is a list of important facts and URL's
related to a program - in this case Moneylegs unless you were not
a Moneylegs member. Then you were asked to create a swipe file
of your favorite program.

If you need to review last week's info titled "Where Do I Start",
its located right here (link to last week's blog entry)

How and What Goes In Your Swipe File?
If you see an interesting page while you are surfing (using
FireFox), you can easily save that particular frame in a new
window for later viewing. You right click anywhere inside the
framed area of your screen; then hover over "This Frame" until
its options appear and click on "Open Frame in New Window".

The other option is to bookmark that interesting page in a
special folder (example: interesting sites) so you can come back
to that bookmark folder later and view the sites. Make sure you
change the name of each bookmark you save as most will have the
name of the traffic exchange you are currently surfing as the
bookmark name.

Guess instead of calling the repository of info about a program a
swipe file, maybe it would more appropraitely be called a swipe
folder? As an example for Moneylegs-related info, just name the
folder Moneylegs!.

Then you can create a text file of useful URLs related to
Moneylegs along with the URLS of your sites/campaigns for traffic
exchanges. Another file might be key points about the terms of
service, points about membership levels and the list can go one
and on. Make sure you name each file so you know what info is
within the file.

The main thing is to have the necessary info handy when talking
to a new team member or prospective team member. Sure beats
having to load each webpage to find the answers to a person's
questions and give that person the "appearance" that you lack
knowledge about that program just because it takes a few seconds
for a webpage to load.

The possibilities are endless as far as what info you save. Its
all a matter of personal preference but having pertinent data
handy can make the difference whether a person joins your team or
not - show off your improved confidence and program knowledge.
It just increase the amount of cash you put into your pocket!

Where Do I Start?

 I Just Joined Moneylegs - What Do I Do First?

Does this describe your feelings when you join any new program? What should I do first? Does the new program offer instructions as to the steps a new person needs to follow to achieve maximum benefit? What are the benefits? Has your sponsor contacted you? How did your sponsor contact you, if at all? Blah...blah...blah

The list of questions could go on and on...until you decide to do nothing at all as you are totally confused as to the what is the first steps!

As a good sponsor, make sure you do not do this to your new team members! At least try to contact them via email AND the telephone. Did you add them to your Yahoo or MSN Instant Messengers? How often do you contact your teammates? Do your fair share and more...the results will come back to you tenfold or better!

As a new teammate, contact your upline sponsor. Don't be bashful or ashamed. Show your willingness to learn. Let them know how to contact you. If you are too ashamed to share your contact information or communicate with your sponsor or teammates, then we suggest you find some other way to make money.

"No man is an island" - you cannot survive alone nor achieve success. Share your correct contact information! All these things as a sponsor you should know and be able to tell your new teammate. If you don't know what to tell them, how do you expect them to be productive?

How Do You Learn?
1. Study the program referral page yourself and make notes as to key points you will share with your teammates.

2. Bookmark that referral page in your browser with an easy to remember name so you can find it quickly.

3. Go to each and every page in your members' area or back office as its' commonly called in some programs. Study those pages; make notes as to key points - everything that would help your new team member to learn what they need to know AND the steps in what order they need to complete the learning process.

4. Notice earlier we said make some notes; store them in a folder by program name such as Moneylegs. We commonly call that a "swipe file" or "tips & tricks" related to that program.

5. Keep updating that swipe file with every new thing YOU learn about the program.

6. Attend live conferences. You can learn so much more about the program by listening and interacting with other members - update your swipe file with what you learn. The live conference list is located here

Now you can help that new person by telling them exactly what steps to take - reorganize your notes/swipe file so you have that information handy. Learn it yourself then share with others. Remember the knowledge you gain and share with your teammates will produce bountiful results and build trust with your "newbie" teammate.

Stay In Contact With Your Team.
If you have a BlogEstates account, start a Team Blog. If you don't have a BlogEstates account, join from any GJW programs' "Follow Me Directory" or Downline Builder. If you are not a member of any GJW programs, join here  and start building your team knowledge and success.

Remember...your team is only as strong as the person with the least knowledge...share the knowledge and build a successful team.

This Week's Lesson:
Create a swipe file of info about the Moneylegs program and share it with your team.
