Speedpass, free stuff and a soapbox..

If you are new, welcome to TrafficPunk!

TrafficPunk SpeedPass:
All members can get an extra +.25 for every page surfed!
I’ll keep that open for the entire weekend!

I’m currently working on revamping some of the splashpages
in the members area which should be available soon..

On another note:
I’ve been asked the same questions many times from would-be Internet Marketers
who are just just getting started.
Some are frustrated in their lack of results online, some are promoting 50 different things at once and others have spent several hundred dollars on get rich quick programs just to find themselves with less money than they started with.

The best advice I can give the new internet marketer is this:
Keep things simple.
You can do this by having a plan, asking questions and taking action!
Sure, we all want to be millionaires, but what are some realistic goals you would like to accomplish in the short term? How about the long term?
The truth that nobody wants to hear or tell you for that matter is that making
money online does require some effort. Yes, the dreaded “W” word.. Work!
Without a plan, you will quickly find yourself spinning your wheels and the answers to your questions might come much later than sooner.

Get involved with the marketing community and ask questions. Join forums,
read blogs etc.
Once you have your key questions answered, you can begin to plan out what it is you
intend to accomplish online. Is this a part time hobby? Will this be treated like a business?
Be honest with yourself.
Start out small, keep yourself focused and know your product well.

The most important step finally is to take action.
You don’t have to be perfect at everything but nothing happens unless you try.
For example, if all the traffic exchange owners are advising members to use splash pages or lead capture pages instead of generic affiliate pages believe me, there is a pretty good reason.
Try it. Take action!
