“Blast Off” has Launched!

October 24th, 2009

Hey Everyone,

I’m a bit under the weather ( not the swine flu ) and it’s late, but I just had to get this out to you guys.

The much anticipated “Blastoff Network” has officially launched. It’s actually pretty darn cool.

I’m going to put together a video this weekend and talk more about it, but I’m going to make this the shortest post in “You will Not get Rich from this Blog” history. That means I’m simply going to provide you with a video that I didn’t produce and a link. Call me lazy if you want, but I’ll make up for it in the next post.


I’ll have something new for you guys on Sunday, I promise.

Splash Pages, Poop, and Walking the Walk

October 15th, 2009

My daughter Kalynn

So I'm not a hair stylist

My three year old daughter ( to the left ) Kalynn is pretty funny. She finds the simplest things enjoyable. Like helping me empty the dishwasher, putting laundry away ( although she sucks at folding cloths ), and basically following me around most of the day. Doing chores with daddy ( Me ) to her, is as much fun as making a mess. I think she just see’s it as spending time together. Throw in some reading and a bit of “Clifford” and our day goes by pretty fast. These daily interactions not only provide quality time between my daughter and I, but also helps her grow and learn. Now if she can just learn to fold cloths.

This is why I strive to be successful online! I enjoy hanging with my kids, watching them grow and being witness to such things as the first poop in the potty ( anyone want a picture? :) ). To non parents, poop and potty training is just plain gross, but all you parents out there know damn well that these events are reasons to celebrate! Fruit Snacks for Everyone!

Moving on to today’s post.

In my last post I gave a video tutorial on how to “Make and Use Simple Splash Pages“. My goal was to introduce you to splash pages and traffic exchanges. Show you some simple examples and give you another resource. Although I received quite a few awesome emails, Big E at Work at Home No Scams ( sort of my mentor ) was quick to not only praise me, but also tell me that I FAILED at the same time.

Where did I fail? Well, I didn’t take the time to test and show results. When putting the last post together, my goal, like I said, was to introduce you to Splash Page Maker and not necessarily show results. Since Eddy called me on this. I felt obligated to not only talk the talk but also walk the walk ( err do some testing on my own ).

I’ve made it very clear that I’m an advocate for traffic exchanges, especially Traffic Splash, but out of my 174 Traffic Splash referrals, only about ten have upgraded and / or are active. This kind of bugs me, and tells me that simply posting affiliate links and recommending a program does not do much for the people who I bring in. Whether it’s Traffic Splash, Splash Page Maker
, ClixSense, or whatever. It basically means that I’ve spent a lot of time ( and $$ ) for little or nothing. Seriously, what good is a referral if they are just a number I can brag about?

So for the last two weeks I’ve devoted all my Traffic Splash time and ClixSense promotions to testing splash pages for results. I used the final Splash Page I made in the last post and made a couple others as well. I also threw the normal ClixSense affiliate page in the mix. Once again, “walking the walk”. If I’m going to tell you that Splash Pages work better than normal Affiliate pages, I needed to be fair and treat all promotional pages equally. So that’s what I did. Although, the results were not over whelming, they are honest and pretty much accurate.

So in this video I’m going to show you not only my results, but also the new pages I created and used. Then for all you “non-html” wizards, the second video will show you how to take the basic page we created in the last post and beef it up even further using an HTML Editor.

In Video Two we are going to use Online-HTML-Editor.Org to enhance our splash page that we made in the last post. This is really great for those who are not familiar with basic and intermediate HTML.



So there ya go! I’m going to do some testing on the two pages in the first video and the one that get’s the better results ( hopefully sign ups ), will get it’s very own twenty page spot ( or 6000 views for another two weeks on Traffic Splash ).

Have a great day everyone and don’t forget to…
