New back office in 3StepSecret

If you haven't done so already, go the the 3StepSecret member login page and take a look at the new back office! It was designed to be more friendly for the type of people entering 3StepSecret (i.e. business opportunity seekers).

If you're wondering what an executive affiliate is, it's explained in the new back office.

Sidebar Update: Removed 4 List Builders

I removed 4 list builders (FreeAdDepot, TargetAdsDepot, YourLuckyList, and TheListMachine) since they are recommended as part of ListJoe . ListJoe builds multiple list builders for you and is also a list builder itself. The basic idea of a list builder is that you agree to receive emails from other members, and you get the ability to email your downline (the specifics of what your downline is depends on the list builder). There may be other tricks like being able to email a certain number of people not necessarily in your downline. For example, in ListJoe, if you upgrade to Gold, then you get the added bonus of emailing 5000 random members every 3 days.

Most of my PIF4P members come from...

I want to help you be successful in PayItForward4Profits and rock the leaderboards! To help you do that, I'll share what has brought me the most PIF4P members so far. By far, most of my PIF4P members have come from Google Adwords. I've done some other things from the Success Guide, like Traffic Swarm (upgraded), Direct Matches (upgraded), and a bit of other things. These include ezine/list builder advertising, forum posting, blogging, and article writing. However, I would say that at least 80% of my members came from Google Adwords.

Does Google Adwords work?

You may be thinking, "Does Google Adwords work?" Just take a look at it in action: go to Google and type in something like "work at home" or "business opportunity". Take a look at the number of ads you see along the top and right-hand side of the page. These ads are the result of advertisers placing ads for these specific keywords like "work at home" and "business opportunity".

Also, there is a high chance that you signed up for PIF4P (or 3StepSecret) through Google Adwords. If it worked for you, don't you think it would work for others?

Learning and Resources for Google Adwords

I started with Google Adwords by getting Perry Marshall's Google Adwords guide. He is known for being an expert at Google Adwords. If you're going to learn, learn from the best!

A keyword tool I like to use is the Overture Keyword Selector. Just type in a keyword or key phrase and it will give suggested similar search terms with their number of searches for a particular month in Overture (Yahoo's search engine).

Make sure you read over Day 6 of the Success Guide in step 3. Day 6 covers Google Adwords and shows you how to get started. When you get to the bottom of the page, there is a Google Adwords Video Training with Joel Broughton. It's an excellent introduction and will show you how to setup your campaigns and ad groups so that you can maximize your results.

My Google Adwords experience

I have different campaigns targeting people for both my PayItForward4Profits and 3StepSecret sites. My average cost per click for my campaigns ranges from $0.16 to $0.45. Keep in mind those are averages, so the actual cost per click can be lower or higher. I like to keep my cost per click below $0.80.

I have received about 200 members so far from my Google Adwords advertising campaigns. The average cost per member for me is about $5. According to Paul Birdsall and Joel Broughton, a PIF4P member is worth anywhere from $4 - $15 over the long term. So $5 seems pretty good to me. And that's the price you pay for PIF4P member if you participate in the PIF4P advertising co-op. Keep in mind that the average you pay for a member using Google Adwords could be higher or lower.

For my Google Adwords campaigns, I actually promote http://incomewave.ws/profits.htm and http://incomewave.ws/3stepsecret.htm . These are copies of http://derickyung.payitforward4profits.com and http://derickyung.3stepsecret.com . The reason I use my incomewave.ws domain is that Google Adwords only wants one affiliate of a website showing for each keyword. If I used my http://derickyung.payitforward4profits.com site directly, I would have a harder time getting my ad to show up.

Google Adwords Alone Can Bring You Massive Profits

That's right - Google Adwords by itself can make you massive profits. If you simply want to make money online, you can use Google Adwords. If you want to start duplicating the methods I use, you must take a look at the success guide and specifically Day 6, which covers Google Adwords. Remember, Google Adwords is a proven advertising method where you only pay for clicks! Plus you can control your daily budget, so you never spend more than you want to each day or week or month! You won't have a successful Google Adwords campaign instantly, but you can improve each and every day. That way, over time, you'll build up more and more targeted traffic. The key is to get started and TAKE ACTION NOW. Login to your back office of PayItForward4Profits and go through Day 6 of the success guide under step 3.

Profit With PayItForward4Profits

I remember listening to Janet Legere talk about how long it would take to get in profit with PayItForward4Profits. If I recall correctly, the average is something like this:
You can be in profit within 3 months if you work the system for 2 hours a day.

Remember, this is NOT a guarantee. It's just an estimate of how long it will take to get in profit. It could be faster or slower for you, depending on how much you do. If you've already had some previous Internet marketing experience, it will probably be faster for you. If you spend more time and/or money, it will probably be faster for you.

Don't expect the profits to come overnight. If it was as easy as simply signing up for some programs and waiting, don't you think everyone would have massive profits?

TrafficOasis Autoresponder Setup

After you've received your first set of leads from TrafficOasis, you need to make sure you've setup your TrafficOasis autoresponder. To find out how to set it up, login to your PayItForward4Profits back office and go to Training -> Internet Tools Training. Near the bottom of the page you'll see:

Traffic Oasis Autoresponder Video Tutorial

Setting Up Your Traffic Oasis Autoresponder

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

After you setup your autoresponder, go over each letter and change the personal details and affiliate links to yours. If you see links that look like mimtraining.com, replace them with your 3StepSecret site.

Once you feel confident with your autoresponder, now you can import your leads. If you want to test the emails, you can add yourself to your TrafficOasis autoresponder.

I reached PIF4P Executive!

Today I reached PIF4P Executive level! That's over 250+ members. The next level, Senior Executive, comes at 500+ members. All I have to do to get there is do the same thing I did to get 250.

It all starts with getting that first member in PIF4P. If you can get 1 member, then you know how to get 1 member. So you just do the same thing to get another member. If you can get 10 members, you know how to get another 10. If you can get 100 members, you know how to get another 100. If you can get 1000 members, you know how to get another 1000. This numbers game can keep going on, but you get the point, right?

New Sidebar Links: FreeTraffic4Profits + List Builders

The links sidebar to the right has been updated to include the new FreeTraffic4Profits and more of its recommended programs. Among these are TrafficHoopla and ListJoe. TrafficHoopla has their own testing system for ranking the effectiveness of different manual traffic exchanges. ListJoe is a list builder which lets you email 5000 members every 3 days if you upgrade. It also promotes multiple list building programs for you.
