Race to the front, mail them all

Walt Bayliss just opened up
List Speedster for pre-launch..
just this second!

With List Speedster you get an
instant mailing list, plus…

As soon as you sign up, you will see
a racing game… and by playing well,
you can get an even bigger list to
mail to before you even start.

Pretty cool!

What I LOVE about this site is that you
hold a position on the race board – and
your mailing list gets bigger and bigger
as more people join the list!

>>> http://www.darrenolander.com/recommends/speed

Plus you get to ‘Accelerate’ and pass the
people in front of you as well.

If you’re a member of my List Jumper site it
follows the same concept, which has shown to
create a VERY responsive list… so you get
more results from your mailings!

=========================================
But this is time sensitive…
=========================================

The sooner you join the easier it will be for
you to secure the top spot in the list and
reach the whole list. So even if you’re
going to check it out later, you should
definitely create your free account now:

I’ll race you to the top…

Darren Olander

P.S. – The OTOs are killer cheap and will
enable you to get your offer in front of far
more people, so definitely take a look.

6.5% optin rate on a Traffic Exchange?

Hey there friends!

Today I am going to reveal one of my most recent campaigns that only ran the last few days on Sweeva, a new social browsing traffic exchange.. and diagnose why it has worked so well.

Here is my proof:

I created “My Web Form 3″ and didn’t give it a name cause I was lazy, but its basically the optin form I used exclusively for my page I advertised on Sweeva. The page for these results can be seen here.

Ok so let’s get down to the details.

Displays is how many times the page was shown to someone. In other words the page loaded 1,272 times.

Of those times, the optin form was filled out 83 times, resulting in a 6.5% conversion rate from viewing to optin.

Considering that this is for a traffic exchange where viewers are browsing to view many sites and only land on your page for less than 20 seconds, it’s stellar results.

Even more so, it was shown to a total of only 793 surfers, which means the final optin rate was a massive 10.5%, that’s over 1 optin for each 10 people! (a lot of people struggle to get that well on PAID traffic)

But the reason why I’m sharing this is to show you what you can learn from my approach.

Whenever I enter a new market (traffic source) I generally do the following things:

1. Identify the need or problem of the potential prospect

In this case I knew I had to provide something of value to Sweeva users. Well, I had learned some things about Sweeva that would be useful to others, and would help them better understand how to use it and get more benefit out of it.. so that was a perfect offer.

2. Either find a solution or create a solution for that problem or need.

(I created the video)

and

3. Deliver that through a compelling offer that will build my list, brand and value. (my capture page)

The result: Now over 83 added people to my list (after just a few days, and from just this ONE source) from providing REAL value and good karma.

Look, when you advertise somewhere you can take that approach and sniper in on the market and get real results (success is NOT an accident).

OR, you can take the shotgun approach like most people do and throw up a page and hope some people act on it. Honestly, I didn’t have to put a whole lot of effort into creating a video, so the value of my time was well worth it.

Also, the more value you provide to others the more value you will receive in return.. and the more profits :-)

All the best,

Darren Olander

Social Browsing?

I LOVE new ideas, so I’m really
pumped to share with you a new traffic
exchange site by veterans Tim Linden
and Jon Olson with a new twist I
GUARANTEE you haven’t seen before.

They just launched it today, if your
curiosity is killing you go here now:

>>> http://www.darrenolander.com/recommends/sweeva

It’s called Sweeva.

The new idea is what they call ‘Social
Browsing’. You surf with hundreds of other
members, you get to rate sites as they
appear and you can network with like minded
individuals.

But honestly, I can’t do it justice with that
explanation, it’s far more cooler when you
see it in action:

>>> http://www.darrenolander.com/recommends/sweeva

It’s free, and you could have YOUR site being
viewed by hundreds of people at the same time,
while they comment on your site and you even chat
with them while they are on your site!

Enjoy,

Darren Olander

P.S. – Traffic is going to be flowing very fast
especially right now as thousands join this new launch…
so really, there is no better time to take advantage
of it and put your site in front of them…

The Greatest Obstacle And Opportunity In Your Life Is Yourself

I as a marketing mentor sponsor affiliates everyday who are pro-active go-getters but they startle and deter when difficult obstacles arise. There is a time in everybody’s life when they feel bogged down by the weight of the world. Everything seems out of place, energy feels scattered and the only mode of survival seems to “give-in”.

The greatest virtue in your life is yourself and I believe, that too, is the greatest obstacle.

How you perceive yourself is the most vital element in your success, only you have the power to reach your destination. No event, person or organization can help you reach there unless you are first ready to be focused enough for your objectives, goals and targets.

Of course there are ways and modes to kick-start a prosperous journey. Everyone needs pointers, directions, mentors and set modules that can facilitate their journey. But before you get anywhere; you must understand that it will be just you and only you, who will have to implement the strategies laid out for you with a burning desire to never give up.

Nobody changes, no one compromises; there is only adjustment if anything has to occur. And that too through a constructive learning curve. It is all dependent on your inner call, but this wake-up call should be dealt with before a shocking event leads you towards that change. As President Obama once said, “A good compromise is like a good piece of music, it makes sense, everyone can understand it”. Though we don’t expect you to compromise on anything, what we mean is to stay reasonable to yourself.

Set your goals, and stick to your plan, like a postage stamp until you reach your destination. We can only provide you a guideline, a modus operandi, a line of action, but to control your run over the line is your task and for your own good, because you-yourself will be in the direct line of fire.

I can help you begin with a streamlined step-by-step system, as we know “A thing well begun is half done”, we train all those who are opting for consistent, continuous and permanent fortune as it “only favors the bold”. If you are really serious about making a difference online, then click here.

How one change more than doubled my conversions overnight…

Hey friends!

This is a screen shot of a quickie split test I just completed:

As you can see, it is simply two different days.. because I knew I could find out rather quickly what was the best converting page.

Here is what I did…

EVERYTHING was left the same (text ad copy, keywords) except for the landing page. On day one I used landing page one, On day two I used landing page two.

I am targeting existing network marketers typing keyword search phrases (into the search engine) related to other network marketing companies. In this test it was keywords related to GDI.

Ok, so these are my two landing pages (click them to view in new window):

Landing Page 1 (tested on April 5th as shown above)
Landing Page 2 (tested on April 6th as shown above)

Landing Page 1 has and continues to perform very well on List Builders and Traffic Exchanges, I kind of have a bias towards that page because I love it :-)

But – I also know that being really direct and in the mindset of your visitor is really powerful, and that advertising via PPC on search engines is quite different than list builders or traffic exchanges. Landing Page 2 was created because of this.

So I tested the two of them… and within only testing each page for one day, you can see that Landing Page 2 has WAY outperformed landing page 1.

Let me walk you through the stats shown in the picture:

Clicks & Impressions – I actually got less traffic and impressions, but as you’ll see that didn’t matter. Plus this has nothing to do with anything, there were just more internet traffic the day before for the keywords I was advertising on.
CTR – This is click-through-ratio, the higher the better because that would mean your ad requires less impressions to get the click. In here you can see my CTR is actually very low – and the reason is because over half of my advertising is on the content network where CTR is going to be low. For direct search traffic the CTR is much higher, but this is an overall average for the whole campaign. Anyway, this statistic does not mean anything because the text ads were NOT changed.. meaning this is just a variance from day to day.
Total Cost – I spent slightly less…

But here’s where it gets really interesting:

Conversion Rate – This is how many people actually signed up to my site after landing on the landing page. As you can see… the increase is 188.4%! Wow!
Cost per Conversion & Total Conversions – Obviously because more of the people landing on the page filled out the form to join, It drastically lowered my cost per signup and also more than doubled the amount of signups, all for LESS money than I spent the day before.

What can you learn from this?

You need to get into the mindset of your market and your exact visitor. This doesn’t just apply to PPC advertising, it applies everywhere.

If you are advertising on List Jumper or List Surfing, talk to THEM (make a specific page – example: “Hey List Surfing surfer!”).

Personally, I love the look of the page and video better on my first landing page, but it did HORRIBLE on adwords traffic.. and the second one did much better simply because it screams
GDI and there is CONSISTENCY. The consistency travels all the way through the process.. they search or are on a website related to GDI, they click on an Ad that mentions GDI, they land on the landing page that mentions GDI, and they are highly more likely to join my system because of it.

Plus, this is another reason to ALWAYS test your ads. You can be often wrong in your guess of which page is going to perform better, so rely only on the REAL measurable statistics.

Comment and let me know what you think, or if you have any input or questions on something I may have left out!

Until next time,

Darren Olander
