			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>I&#8217;ve just finished looking at my tracking results for the</strong></p>
<p><strong>last month for several safelists I use and you may find</strong></p>
<p><strong>the results valuable in your promotion of 12SC.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s good about safelists, and what&#8217;s not so good?</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Good:</strong></p>
<p>1) Safelists are one of the common places some of  the people</p>
<p>we are looking for hang out &#8211; new and intermediate level people</p>
<p>wanting to make money online.</p>
<p>2) They are inexpensive to advertise on. Free if you&#8217;re</p>
<p>prepared prepared to spend time clicking on other people&#8217;s</p>
<p>emails to build up free advertising credits you can use to</p>
<p>show your offers to other members.</p>
<p>3) They do produce results. Hardly a day goes by that I don&#8217;t</p>
<p>gain more members and affiliates from them.</p>
<p>4) They are a good place to learn how to write headlines and</p>
<p>quick ad copy that compels a positive response</p>
<p><strong>The not so good:</strong></p>
<p>1) Some of then are almost useless, a waste of time and money</p>
<p>- returning less than 0.1% clickthrough rates (that&#8217;s as</p>
<p>low as 1 click in 1000 emails sent!   Notice that&#8217;s not new</p>
<p>members, that&#8217;s just clicks, new members will be lower again.)</p>
<p>2) While not difficult, there are some very definite skills</p>
<p>you need to learn about how to get set up properly, and how</p>
<p>to get the very best out of them. And that&#8217;s what we want</p>
<p>isn&#8217;t it &#8211; results, great results!</p>
<p>Even if you&#8217;re clicking for free credits, instead of buying</p>
<p>them, we don&#8217;t want to be spending half a day surfing and</p>
<p>getting lousy results..</p>
<p><strong>So how do you get superb results &#8211; lots of signups?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a few tips that have worked well for me:</strong></p>
<p>1) Learn to write headlines that attract interest.</p>
<p>2) Write very short ads &#8211; 1 to five lines only.</p>
<p>3) Use some color in the ad to attract attention.</p>
<p>4) Practice makes perfect, but &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>5) <strong>Most importantly</strong> &#8211; you have to know what&#8217;s working, and</p>
<p>how well it&#8217;s working to be able to change what isn&#8217;t, or</p>
<p>to improve what is. So you have to track everything &#8211; the</p>
<p>headline, the ad copy, the use of colour etc.</p>
<p><strong>Now you can track the number of clicks you&#8217;re getting by</strong></p>
<p><strong>using the ad tracker in 12SC, and you should, but there&#8217;s</strong></p>
<p><strong>an even better way.</strong> Much better because it tracks</p>
<p>EVERYTHING, headline effectiveness, how good your ad body is,</p>
<p>saves you a huge amount of valuable time as well, and allows</p>
<p>you to constantly improve your headlines and ad copy until</p>
<p>you get excellent results.</p>
<p>I test all my pages initially in Safelists as a quick and</p>
<p>easy way to know for sure how good they are using a</p>
<p>superb utility I couldn&#8217;t do without now.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.12path.com/go/ViralMailProfits/" target="_blank">Grab it &#8211; it makes it sooo easy to post to safelists</a>, and</strong></p>
<p><strong>tracks the results from each of them individually,</strong></p>
<p><strong>saving/making you a a lot of money in the long run.</strong></p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t do without it, and it provides great stats to</p>
<p>pass on to your members.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>For example my top SafeList, has a clickthrough of 6.08%</p>
<p>and my worst (which, based on it&#8217;s reputation, I took a</p>
<p>$97 annual subscription out for before I had this utility.</p>
<p>&lt;frown&gt;) is only 0.01%!!!   Also I found out my favorite,</p>
<p>but untracked, page only did only half as well as</p>
<p>next one I tested and tracked. Very valuable information,</p>
<p>saving me hundreds of dollars over time.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.12path.com/go/ViralMailProfits/" target="_blank">Use it to track your advertising on safelists </a>for a while</strong></p>
<p><strong>and you&#8217;ll soon see how well it does the job, and how it</strong></p>
<p><strong>will enable you to become a safelist superstar!</strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Many people are discovering the power of affiliate marketing, and<br />
using that power to supplement or even replace their nine to five<br />
income.  Many more people would like to jump into this exciting<br />
world but are unsure exactly what an affiliate campaign consists of.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When talking about affiliate programs, it helps to compare them to<br />
what happens in the traditional world of brick and mortar<br />
companies.</strong>  In that familiar world, many large manufacturing<br />
companies and large product sellers use a network of salespeople<br />
and distributors to bring their products to all corners of the<br />
world.</p>
<p>For instance, a beverage manufacturer, instead of selling directly<br />
to their customers, sells their products through a series of<br />
distributors and salespeople.  In turn, the members of this<br />
distribution and sales network enjoy a very good living by<br />
promoting the products made by others.</p>
<p><strong>In essence, the affiliate programs found on the internet are<br />
distribution and sales efforts taken to the online world.</strong>  The<br />
individual web sites take the place of the distributor and sales<br />
network, and these individuals are paid by the seller of the<br />
product when a sale is made.</p>
<p><strong>It is easy to see why this arrangement is so popular, from the<br />
point of view of both the merchant and the owner of the web site.<br /></strong>The merchant benefits from increased sales.  At the same time, he<br />
or she does not have to pay for additional advertising, and the<br />
affiliate is only paid when a sale is made.</p>
<p>The web site owner benefits as well, since every sale he or she<br />
refers to the merchant means money in his or her pocket.  The web<br />
site is up and running anyway, the visitors are already there.  The<br />
only thing that has been added is the affiliate link, and that<br />
costs nothing to set up and is very easy to do.</p>
<p><strong>One word about the affiliate link.</strong>  The affiliate link is what<br />
makes this magic happen.  It is how the merchant knows where their<br />
customers are coming from.  When a customer visits the web site<br />
owner&#8217;s site, he or she will see an affiliate link to the<br />
merchant&#8217;s site. When the visitor clicks this link, the click<br />
through is logged by the merchant, and when a sale is made that is<br />
logged as well.</p>
<p>The owner of the referring web site is then<br />
entitled to a percentage of the sale.  In most cases, this<br />
percentage will be at least 20%, but in some cases it can be as<br />
much as 75% or even more of each sale.  With these kinds of<br />
percentages, it is easy to see why this type of marketing is such a<br />
great way to make money online.</p>
<p><strong>Affiliate programs are very popular, and one reason is that unlike<br />
other types of internet businesses there is no need to stock<br />
products, buy products or even have products.  That is because<br />
instead of selling your own product, you are acting as a<br />
salesperson or a distributor for the products of others.</strong></p>
<p>This can make a huge difference to your profit margins and your<br />
bottom line. So if you&#8217;re not already familiar with the concept of<br />
affiliate marketing, why not check it out?</p>
<p><strong>One of the finest affiliate programs on the net is 12SecondCommute<br />
and if you click the big banner over on the right it will shoot you<br />
off to have a look at it. They offer a 30 day free trial &#8211; no credit<br />
card or other payment details required &#8211; and the trial is a great<br />
way to check it out from the inside and discover all the tools inside<br />
that everyone working online must have to succeed.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This post is by Charlie Page, 10 successful years online, and the owner of the <a href="http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/DirectoryOfEzines" target="_blank">&#8216;Directory Of Ezines&#8217; </a> which I recommend to anyone who is promoting any product, program or service in ezines &#8211; as you should be in your early days when your own list is still small.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Why?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Because advertising in ezines allows you to &#8216;borrow&#8217; the larger, and more established lists of others, and put your promotion in front of their receptive eyes, at often very reasonable rates.<br /></strong><br />
In doing so you can explode your business much quicker than the many free but very time consuming methods most new starters online are using.</p>
<p>Your list may only have a few hundred readers in the early days, where as through the Directory of Ezines you can quickly find good ezines with thousands of readers.</p>
<p>You do have to exercise some caution in deciding which ezine to use, as a few unscrupulous owners inflate their subscriber numbers, or have poorly maintained the list and it&#8217;s became unresponsive over time.</p>
<p>Then you have the problem of where do you find the good ones?, comparing costs with others, finding the size of post/ad allowed, and the myriad of other details you need to be able to make an intelligent decision.</p>
<p><strong>The</strong> <a href="http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/DirectoryOfEzines" target="_blank"><strong>Directory Of Ezines</strong></a> <strong>(DOE) provides an extensive, searchable, database of hundreds of ezines listing all their details</strong> &#8211; ie, name, web address, readership numbers, readership types (home business, MLM, real estate, whatever), frequency of posting and what day(s), format (text or html, special offers for DOE members, cost of insertion etc.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve been a member for four years now and highly recommend it as a way of saving time, saving money by enabling better business decisions, and in allowing you to get the best &#8216;bang for your buck&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>A final hint:  As with any new advertising source when you use it for the first time, the same applies with ezines, always test a small trail purchase for yourself by using your ad tracker within the 12SecondCommute tools suite so that you can see in your individual situation, with your ad writing skills, and your product, program or service etc how well it does.</p>
<p>On to Charlies post&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>
<strong>TODAY IS YOUR DAY!</strong></p>
<p>By <a href="http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/DirectoryOfEzines" target="_blank">Charlie Page</a> Every day I hear from people who are struggling to make money online. They bought the programs and listened to the advice but are still coming up short.</p>
<p>These are good people, real people, who have been beaten down by the hyped-up websites that promise them near-instant riches if they will only “join now”.</p>
<p>They are discouraged and are left to wonder if all online marketers simply lie to make money and don’t care at all about their customers.</p>
<p>You might know someone who feels this way, or might feel this way yourself. If so, this message is for you.</p>
<p>I’m here to tell you that you can succeed online no matter what your current circumstances say to you or how badly others have treated you!</p>
<p>How can I say that when so many people are working hard and still not making any money online? When so many are being ripped off and now have nothing to work with and little hope of making it?</p>
<p>Because I see it happening every day.</p>
<p>I see people who think they are too old, too broke, too sick or too tired and beat up to begin the transformation from hype to hope.</p>
<p>I see them move from being confused and afraid they will “miss it” to making real progress – not a one time fluke but progress they can repeat over and over again.</p>
<p>They learn. They work. They overcome. And you can overcome too!</p>
<p>Let me share with you what I believe.</p>
<p>I believe there has never been a greater opportunity to make money online than exists today. I should know; I’ve been making a full time living working online for over 10 years.</p>
<p>In that time I have seen many scams come and go. Seen more “business opportunities” than I can count go through their mega-launches, destined (or so the sales letters said) to be the next big thing. Seen countless people lose money to these lies.</p>
<p>But I’ve seen miracles too, and I want to share with you what those turnaround stories (including my own turnaround story) have taught me.</p>
<p>But first let me share with you why I know you can succeed online.</p>
<p>Here are only a few of the reasons I believe that NOW can be your best time ever.</p>
<p>    * More people are online than ever before, which means a bigger market for you.</p>
<p>    * And there are more products you can promote – truly good and proven products – than ever before as well.<br />
    * There are more ways to promote than ever before. And not all of them cost an arm and a leg.<br />
    * Today anyone can have a website almost instantly by using a blog. When I started out it was HTML in NotePad. Not a pretty thing.<br />
    * There is more good coaching and mentoring now than ever before.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the many reasons I believe you can succeed online. But let me share my #1 reason with you.<br />
You can succeed online because humans were created to be overcomers!</p>
<p><strong>I fully believe that NOW is your time. That THIS is your year to shine!</strong></p>
<p>Is it hard to work online? Sure, it takes work and learning new skills, some time and a little money.</p>
<p>But that will not stop you!</p>
<p>Are there thieves online? You bet! Too many websites promise the moon only to deliver disappointment and heartache. Far too many take your money and never even answer your email or provide any real help or support.</p>
<p>But we won’t let that stop us!</p>
<p>I want you to join me today in setting a new course.</p>
<p>Today is the day we forgive.</p>
<p>Today is the day we forget the wrongs of the past and write a new story.</p>
<p>Today is the day we make a list of what is right with us and capitalize on our strengths and not our weaknesses.</p>
<p><strong>Today is YOUR day!</strong></p>
<p>I know that it can be hard to hold your head up high and declare today as your day of victory. I know the challenges you face because I have been there too.</p>
<p>I have walked in your shoes and am here to tell you that there is victory for those who never surrender!</p>
<p>You might be tempted to think you are too old or too sick or too broke or too tired to succeed online. I thought those things too.</p>
<p>I was so sick there were entire days I could not get out of bed. But I kept trying.</p>
<p>I was so broke that people from my church brought presents to my house so my kids could have Christmas.</p>
<p>I was so discouraged that I honestly felt it was over for me – that I had my chance and it didn’t work out.</p>
<p>I remember one night literally saying to myself “at least you had it good for a while” and thinking it was time to accept the “reality” of forever being broke and sick and depressed.</p>
<p>MY FRIEND – THAT WAS A LIE! I kept on fighting and today I am free from debt, free from sickness and we are doing very well indeed.</p>
<p>I won’t give specifics or show you my Clickbank screenshot like the hype boys do but let’s just say that we are not living in a rent house anymore.  <img src='http://www.allanjamesonline.com/startbusinessmentor/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Based on my own experience, and based on literally thousands of members I have counseled I want to tell you five truths that you might not feel are true right now.</p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD</strong></p>
<p>I want you to meet Claudette. At 83 she truly is a shining swan of a person. Whenever I speak with her I am lifted by her love of life and her undeniable spirit. Sure, working online is a challenge for someone of her age but you can bet your last nickel that fact won’t defeat her!</p>
<p>Claudette is a realist. She knows that she will never master the computer the way a 23 year old would so she does what she can. Instead of trying to build a website from scratch and learning HTML she focuses on blogs, knowing that if you can type you can have a blog. And she can type after all! So she does what she can.</p>
<p>How about Ivan? Ivan is another octogenarian. Ivan was 85 last time we spoke and going as strong as ever. You see, Ivan works in the health and wellness field and is a living testimonial for his anti-aging products.</p>
<p>What do Ivan and Claudette tell me?</p>
<p>You are not too old to succeed online!</p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; YOU ARE NOT TOO SICK</strong></p>
<p>How I wish you could meet Mindy.  She has cancer and so is focusing on marketing passive income products so that her family has something to count on when she is gone.</p>
<p>Incredible.</p>
<p>In my own life there were times when a good day meant I could work 2 hours before basically collapsing and needing to sleep 20 hours. Was it hard? You bet. But I worked those 2 hours and never gave up. It was that burning desire, and God’s blessing, that took me from being a member of the Directory of Ezines to owning the company less than 18 months later.</p>
<p>Believe me, you are not too sick to succeed online. Do what you can when you can and rest when you must.</p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; YOU ARE NOT TOO BROKE</strong></p>
<p>When I bought my DOE membership it was hard to come up with the fee. To say it was a sacrifice would be grossly understating the truth. My wonderful wife thought I had lost my mind. How was this membership going to help us?</p>
<p>I had so few resources that all I could afford was article marketing since there was no fee to send articles to ezines. And send them I did.</p>
<p>On days I was well enough to work I would write articles. And write articles. And write articles. Then I would send them, hoping and praying they would be read.</p>
<p>They were read and soon readers became visitors and visitors became customers.</p>
<p>It was hard but it worked.</p>
<p>Little did I know that less than 18 months later my wife and I would buy the company, enabling the founder to retire and achieve her dream.</p>
<p>Today there is social media (oh how I wish I had Twitter and Facebook in 1999!) and even more no-cost ways to promote.</p>
<p>Believe me when I tell you – you are not too broke to succeed online.</p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; YOU ARE NOT TOO TIRED</strong></p>
<p>I know you are tired. Tired of the lies. Tired of the hype. Tired of trying things that don’t work. But you are not too tired!</p>
<p>For you the time may have come to stop working so hard on things that don’t work and focus on things that are proven to work.</p>
<p>I get tired too. Not everything I try works the first time either. But when results do come they build me up – giving me the strength and encouragement to keep going.</p>
<p>If you are tired today take time to rest. Pushing on and spending countless hours at your keyboard (especially if they are late night hours) will not be productive.</p>
<p>When you are rested and ready make a list of the top five things you want to accomplish today and start on item #1, not stopping or even thinking of anything else until it is finished.</p>
<p>Let focus and passions become your allies and you will banish tiredness from your vocabulary.</p>
<p>Rest when you must and work with passion and focus.</p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; YOUR CHANCE HAS NOT PASSED YOU BY</strong></p>
<p>I know this much to be true – the opportunity online is just starting. You have not missed it. And you have not missed the “good days” either when things were “easy”.</p>
<p>You have not missed it.</p>
<p>Things were never easier than now. There have never been more tools at your disposal than now. There has never been a bigger market than now.</p>
<p>You have not missed it.</p>
<p>As the song says, “these are the good old days” whether we want them to be or not. Today is the day we will look back on and reminisce. The only real question now is whether we will remember today fondly or feel that we wasted yet another opportunity.</p>
<p>Here is my viewpoint on where you stand right now.</p>
<p>    * You are not finished yet.<br />
    * You have a great story to write.<br />
    * You have a great future to build.</p>
<p>Never surrender your dream. Never let go of your goal. Never quit.</p>
<p>Winston Churchill had it right when he said that his people should “never surrender”. I love his quote about surrender and his equally famous quote “the nose of the bulldog has been slanted backwards so it can breathe without letting go”.</p>
<p>Be that bulldog. Breathe and have your life but never ever let go. Never surrender.</p>
<p>Let me leave you with these words by Henry David Thoreau.</p>
<p>“I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. “</p>
<p>Success is not made up of the grand gesture – the bold move or big product launch or the perfect ad that hits the target. Those things are fun when they happen but they are not the stuff of life or the building blocks of success.</p>
<p><strong>Success is made up of doing the little things every day.</strong> Success comes from doing what you can today, knowing that doors will open as you need them.</p>
<p>Success comes from being willing to learn what you need to learn and being willing to do what you need to do.</p>
<p>Success comes from following a proven path, knowing in your heart that if good things can happen for the Charlie Page’s of the world there is no reason they can not or will not happen for you too.</p>
<p>Go out today – right now – and move confidently in the direction of your dream. Then get up tomorrow and do it again. Soon you will find that you are succeeding on YOUR terms.</p>
<p>And that is a beautiful thing indeed!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>I fully concur with Charlies post! You CAN do it. If you are willing to do the small things consistently, and persist &#8211; until it is done!.</strong></p>
<p>The freedom and success I&#8217;ve achieved has not been through some innate abilities (some of you know my story, poorly educated, low self esteem etc), or through luck. It was through taking action (the small steps), failing, trying again, finding a mentor, committing and persisting over time.</p>
<p>As Winston Churchill said, in my favourite quote, &#8221; Never Give up! &#8220;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no doubt the 12SecondCommute is the most powerful,<br />
and most inexpensive, suite of tools that have ever been seen<br />
in one place on the Internet but, even as the owner Darryl and<br />
a couple of his super affiliates, are working constantly to make<br />
it easier to use, we still realize that it can be a bit overwhelming<br />
at first.</p>
<p><strong>With that in mind I&#8217;ve decided to give you the 6 simple<br />
steps to get started that will put money in your pocket this<br />
very week. Here they are:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Hit the banner to the right and take up the 30 day free trial<br />
of 12SecondCommute.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then:<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>1)   Upgrade to at least the $9 level<br />
</strong>so that when you earn a commission it goes to you and not<br />
up to your introducing member.</p>
<p>As well as capturing your money you will also get a free<br />
membership of the excellent advertising testing and rating<br />
service I been paying $12 a month for since long before<br />
12SC was launched, $9 of traffic (visitors) you can send<br />
to any website or blog at any time, and good capacity of<br />
every tool all people working online must have to succeed<br />
and make money.</p>
<p>Just look at the upgrade page in your account for the latest<br />
information on all you will get, and for less than you pay<br />
for your all hot drinks each month.</p>
<p><strong>2)  Use the Program Builder to get a hold of your introducing<br />
members well proven capture page and email message series</strong>,<br />
or grab one of the ones in The 10 Minute Setup area of 12SC<br />
It&#8217;s best to use your introducing members one if it&#8217;s been<br />
working well. Watch a overview of the Program Builder Here:<br />
<a href="http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/ProgramBuilderOverview">http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/ProgramBuilderOverview</a></p>
<p><strong>3)   Join the Affiliate Funnel (free) and advertise your new<br />
capture page in the top 4 safelists in their ratings and one<br />
of top rated ones in your free KnowForProfit account.</strong> You<br />
can grab a free membership to Affiliate Funnel here:<br />
<a href="http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/The_Affiliate_Funnel">http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/The_Affiliate_Funnel</a></p>
<p>You just have to write a <strong>short</strong> ad listing a few of the<br />
benefits of 12SC, with a snappy headline to grab attention.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never used safelists before it&#8217;s essential you get<br />
set up properly <strong>before</strong> you use then or you will get flooding<br />
with a gazillion emails, and won&#8217;t get anything like the best<br />
results out of the safelists. The guide that made me a supestar<br />
at using them is called the Safelist Survival Guide, a great<br />
investment at only about $9, and you can get it here:<br />
<a href="http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/SurvivalGuide">http://www.allanjamesonline.com/go/SurvivalGuide</a></p>
<p><strong>4)   Make a schedule to put an hour aside at any time that<br />
works for you and post your ad on the safelists once per<br />
day, preferably 7 days a week.</strong> If you&#8217;re short on cash to<br />
buy credits for the safelists you need to use some of the<br />
hour to look at other peoples advertising to earn credits,<br />
and the Survival Guide will tell you the most effective<br />
ways to do this.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t forget to include the link that will take them to<br />
your capture page in the safelists &#8216;credit link&#8217; area.</strong></p>
<p><strong>5)   That link will take them to your capture page where<br />
they will subscriber to your newsletter series</strong>, then<br />
automatically be redirected to 12SC to sign up for their<br />
free account. Many of them will upgrade to one of the<br />
levels and you will earn your commission that will be<br />
paid into your Paypal account on Friday.</p>
<p><strong>6)   As your new members sign up the 12SC system will<br />
start to send them, as it did for you, introductory<br />
information, but you should email or phone them and<br />
introduce yourself, and offer them the capture page<br />
and email series that&#8217;s working well for you.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And the process repeats</strong> with more members joining you<br />
and upgrading, other members joining people in your<br />
business business, upgrading, and all of them making<br />
affiliate commissions for themselves, and for you down<br />
5 five levels, a total of 60%.</p>
<p>Powerful residual incomes that will continue to flow<br />
into you for months and months and months to come.</p>
<p>I hope this has &#8216;cleared the fog away&#8217; and clearly<br />
given you the simple steps that will put money in<br />
your pocket consistently, as it has for me, over<br />
the next few days, then on into the coming months.</p>
<p><strong>If you have any questions don&#8217;t hesitate to contact<br />
me &#8211; use the support form under About/Contact<br />
above.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Hit the banner to the right NOW! There&#8217;s never been a<br />
better time than today to start regularly putting cash<br />
in your pocket.<br />
</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A lot of affiliates are looking for instant income &#8212; big checks at<br />
that. That&#8217;s simply not very realistic.</strong> I&#8217;m not saying it couldn&#8217;t<br />
happen. Oprah could mention your blog on her show and you&#8217;d be<br />
flooded with traffic.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been on the web for over 4 years. I&#8217;ve got high traffic sites and<br />
large email lists but that didn&#8217;t happen overnight. They were built up<br />
one day at a time.</p>
<p><strong>To make the most in this business, you need to prepare for the long<br />
haul.</strong> I do have a very nice residual income and much of that is due<br />
to the groundwork I laid years ago.</p>
<p><strong>Resolve to do what has to be done, daily and weekly.</strong> A great saying<br />
I learned early in my journey to freedom was <em>&#8216;I will do today what<br />
others won&#8217;t do, so that I can have tomorrow what others can&#8217;t have&#8217;</em></p>
<p>Place those ads, attend the trainings, develop a great working<br />
relationship with the most successful of your introducing members,<br />
take advice and act on it.</p>
<p><strong>Always be building your list. Always!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Build the money that will enhance your life for ever. Build your<br />
12SecondCommute business and develop your residuals!  Know<br /></strong><strong>from me you are in the right business, at the right time.</strong></p>
<p>If you have a website or a blog, set a goal of adding at least a page<br />
or posting to it at least once a week, if not every day. Even if it<br />
is just a weekly update, in 3 years you would have over 300 pages<br />
(and entry points) to your site. If you added just one page a day,<br />
then you would have over 1,000 pages!!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still making affiliate income on pages I put up years ago,<br />
lists I&#8217;ve grown over years. Even sites I&#8217;ve more or less forgotten<br />
about!</p>
<p>And the same goes for affiliates who made sales pages for my ebooks<br />
years ago and haven&#8217;t touched them since.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t get frustrated if you are new to the game and haven&#8217;t made<br />
much since you got started. The smart (and rich) affiliates are<br />
the ones who think in terms of years, not weeks.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Have you ever heard of the sales term USP<br />
(Unique Selling Proposition)?</strong></p>
<p>Roughly, it refers to identifying a benefit for your<br />
customer that makes your offer stand out from the offers<br />
of your competition, then using that USP in your<br />
advertising and promotions, as a way of gaining more sales.</p>
<p>12SecondCommute packs more value for money in it&#8217;s tools<br />
suite and commission package than anything else on the web<br />
with it&#8217;s excellent webmaster/marketer tools, explosive<br />
affiliate residual commissions, superb almost daily live<br />
training but the question is &#8216;What&#8217;s the *unique*<br />
benefits 12SC offers it&#8217;s potential clients?&#8217;</p>
<p>Is it that you get miles more for a lot less than elsewhere?<br />
Is it the great auto responders?<br />
The hosted capture page builders?<br />
The excellent ad and url trackers?<br />
The multi purpose contact manager?<br />
Maybe it&#8217;s the newbie training area or the hosted blog?<br />
Or is it the multi-tier affiliate residual commissions?<br />
The comprehensive written, video and live training?</p>
<p>These are all great benefits aren&#8217;t they, but you can buy<br />
auto responders, capture page builders, hosting, training,<br />
ad trackers etc. etc one piece here, one service there<br />
at various other places online.</p>
<p>Darn, that makes it difficult doesn&#8217;t it? How do I, the<br />
ambitious 12SecondCommute affiliate, make my offer stand<br />
out from the gazillion others out there all competing<br />
for the same buyers dollars?</p>
<p>What does the 12 Second Commute have that&#8217;s *unique&#8217;, that<br />
can&#8217;t be got anywhere else? What can I find that will let<br />
me leap ahead of all the of the competition and bring<br />
more dollars into my hot little hands?</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s 12SecondCommute&#8217;s USP that I can aim my advertising<br />
at?</strong></p>
<p>So here&#8217;s the thought I want to drop into your mind.</p>
<p>Could the USP be that 12SecondCommute is the only place<br />
you can get *everything* you need to make it online under<br />
one roof?</p>
<p>Or is it the one-of-a-kind Program Builder that allows<br />
every new member of your team to start making sales in<br />
under two days.</p>
<p>The revolutionary Program Builder that&#8217;s making a real<br />
difference in how fast duplication takes place for anyone<br />
who&#8217;s needs to build an effective sales team to explode<br />
their income, say in any MLM or multi-tier affiliate<br />
income opportunity?</p>
<p><strong>No argument is there that both the Program Builder, and<br />
the &#8216;one stop shop&#8217; aspects of the 12 Second Commute<br />
 are outstanding, but are they two unique selling<br />
 propositions you could be aiming your advertising and<br />
other promotions at?</strong></p>
<p>I leave it to you to decide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, what&#8217;s so great about the Program Builder?</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line &#8211; it&#8217;s doubling peoples income through quicker<br />
sales and faster duplication!</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s imagine that you&#8217;re a relative newbie to the<br />
12SecondCommute or any other business that uses<br />
teams for maximum profitability and, as many are,<br />
somewhat new to making money online.</p>
<p>With a lot of hope, and probably a little skepticism,<br />
you&#8217;ve just upgraded to one of the paid levels in 12SC<br />
and you&#8217;re faced with now having to get ready and go out<br />
and advertise 12SC, or any other program, product or<br />
program you happen to be involved in.</p>
<p>Can you picture it?</p>
<p>Some of the thoughts that will be running through your<br />
head are:</p>
<p>&#8216;Right. I&#8217;ve got to start advertising, and I&#8217;ve heard<br />
it&#8217;s best to get people on my email list, before<br />
I show them what I have to offer&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Ok, so I need a capture page so that they can sign up<br />
to my list, and I need to set up my autoresponder so that<br />
they start getting emails from me&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Well that seems not to hard to do here, I should be able<br />
to get that done after work in the next 3 or four days.<br />
Hmm&#8230;.. then I&#8217;ve got to write all those emails. Jeez,<br />
I&#8217;m not sure how good I am at that. Come to think about<br />
it I&#8217;m not even sure if I can make a decent capture page<br />
to drag people in. Blimey, that could all take a while!&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8216;Oh, hell, this isn&#8217;t going to be as easy as I first<br />
thought but I suppose &lt;sigh&gt; I better get started and see<br />
what happens&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.. &#8216;</p>
<p>And, just about this point they get an email from their<br />
Introducing member that says something like:</p>
<p>&#8220;Hi! Really smart move you made in upgrading. Glad to have<br />
you on board.</p>
<p>Just wanted to let you know that I&#8217;m here to help in any<br />
way I can, just let me know.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s something I can do right now to get you started<br />
off like a rocket and getting some cash in your pocket by<br />
as early as tomorrow.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to promote 12SC (or any other program the<br />
Introducing Member is working) I can offer you the<br />
complete system that&#8217;s been working so well for me. The<br />
whole deal, the capture page fully set up and the<br />
autoresponder with all my messages that have been working<br />
wonderfully well.</p>
<p>Take you no longer than an hour and you&#8217;ll be all<br />
ready to roll and go start advertising and making some<br />
of that lovely loot <img src='http://www.allanjamesonline.com/startbusinessmentor/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Just reply to this email and I&#8217;ll give you the password<br />
to import all my stuff into your system.</p>
<p>Catch you soon,<br />
Yourname&#8221;</p>
<p>Do you think you&#8217;d be pleased to get an email like this?</p>
<p>You bet you would!! Suddenly you&#8217;re in business! Today!<br />
Money tomorrow!</p>
<p>What a superb hand up to be able to give your new member,<br />
good for him, good for you.</p>
<p><strong>Now take a moment to run this through your mind. Why is<br />
it so great for both of you??</strong></p>
<p><strong>For him/her</strong>, obviously the ease of setting up, and money<br />
tomorrow.</p>
<p>For him/her, the confidence of knowing that they have<br />
their hands on a system that&#8217;s know to produce great<br />
results.</p>
<p>He/she knows they can hand on the very same successful<br />
system to that new affiliate of theirs who upgrades<br />
tomorrow!</p>
<p><strong>For you</strong>, your new member is having success much quicker.</p>
<p>You get a commission notification on their first sale<br />
earlier.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re an experienced pro online, you know you&#8217;ve done<br />
the very best for your new member by passing your highly<br />
successful system on, and there&#8217;s no need for your member<br />
to struggle and try and re-invent the wheel.</p>
<p>The bottom line is that success starts to move through your<br />
business at the speed of lightning, money starts<br />
rolling in for everyone in a rush, duplication has<br />
taken place and long lasting residual incomes are assured.</p>
<p>The Program Builder really is the crown jewel sitting<br />
right on top of this glittering package we call the<br />
12SecondCommute.</p>
<p><strong>So, why am I raving about it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>1) It&#8217;s now live and member are reporting superb results with<br />
both they, and their downline members making sales in under<br />
two days!</strong></p>
<p>2) It does all I&#8217;ve tried to portray above, and more!</p>
<p>3) It is be simple for you to set up, and even more<br />
simple for people in your business to grab and start using.</p>
<p>4) No hype, if you use it properly and make sure you<br />
hand it on it will EXPLODE your business. Any business<br />
you are involved in, any product or service you are<br />
promoting.</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;ve arrived here and this groundbreaking 0ne-of-a-kind</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Safelists are a common starting place for people as they head out to<br />
make their early commissions, and they have the advantage that they are<br />
also the place other &#8216;make money&#8217; newbies can also be found.</strong></p>
<p>While they are not the most productive place to advertise, they do produce<br />
results for 12SecondCommute and have the additional advantage of being free<br />
to join. However, <strong>don&#8217;t start using them until you set a few basic things<br />
in place as I will indicate below or you will will be flooded with a<br />
gazillion return emails!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Setting Up Your Email Accounts</strong></p>
<p>The basic principle behind safelists is that advertisers get together and agree<br />
to receive email ads from each other. Therefore you can expect a lot of email<br />
especially when you start using a lot of different lists. So under NO<br />
circumstance should you use your main email account when you sign up for<br />
safelists.</p>
<p>I use and recommend Gmail (Google Mail) it’s the best solution for safelists<br />
and it is free. Don’t bother using some of the other free email accounts<br />
such as Yahoo, AOL or Hotmail their spam filters will only bring you<br />
headaches when using safelists (actually many safelist wont allow them).<br />
Using Gmail is also the foundation for advanced tactics you can move on<br />
to later.</p>
<p>You will need two email accounts, one as your contact address and one<br />
where you will receive the actual safelist emails. So create two Gmail<br />
accounts and name them something that you can easily remember e.g.<br />
<a href="mailto:SafelistContact@gmail.com">SafelistContact@gmail.com</a> and<br />
<a href="mailto:SafelistEmails@gmail.com">SafelistEmails@gmail.com</a></p>
<p><strong><br />
Joining Your Safelists</strong></p>
<p>Now that you have your email accounts set up it is time to start joining some<br />
safelists. <strong>There are thousands of safelists on the market but 90% of them are<br />
utter rubbish. Until you have your own testing and evaluation system in place<br />
</strong><a href="http://www.12path.com/StartBusinessMentor/AffiliateFunnel/"><strong>I recommend that you focus solely on the safelists in Affiliate Funnel</strong></a><br />
<strong>It&#8217;s free to join and these safelists are proven performers and won’t waste your time.</strong></p>
<p>Trust me – more is not merrier, you get far better results from consistently<br />
posting to the top 10 safelists in the Affiliate Funnel than you will from<br />
sporadic bursts to a a swarm of small lists, or any of the other thousands<br />
out there.</p>
<p>When you join the safelists you will have to click a confirmation link, usually at<br />
both your contact and list address. IMPORTANT: don’t delete the emails after<br />
you have clicked the link, we want to keep them for the next step.</p>
<p><strong><br />
How to Set Up Your Gmail Labels</strong></p>
<p>The labels and filtering options in Gmail are very useful when dealing with<br />
safelists. Now that you have joined the safelists, you use the confirmation<br />
emails they send you to set up your labels. I will use Adtactics as an example…</p>
<p>1. Open your Adtactics confirmation email in Gmail and click on “Show<br />
details” in the header.</p>
<p>2. Mark the from email address and press Ctrl + C to copy</p>
<p>3. Click the “Create a filter” link next to the search boxes</p>
<p>4. Paste the email address (Ctrl + V) into the “From” field and press<br />
“Next step”.</p>
<p>5. Check the “Apply Label” box and choose “New Label” in the drop<br />
down menu.</p>
<p>6. Type in “Adtactics” as the name of the new label and press “Ok”.</p>
<p>7. Click on “Create filter”.</p>
<p>All email from Adtactics will now have this label applied and be filtered into<br />
your Adtactics folder. Follow the steps above to set up labels for all the<br />
safelists both at your list and contact address. This is a huge time saver in the<br />
long run and it will form the basis for some of the advanced tactics you will want<br />
to move on to later.</p>
<p><strong>OK, that&#8217;s very basic but enough to get you started and to insure you&#8217;re set up<br />
for more advanced Safelist tactics further on down the track. If you want to get<br />
the very best resource on Safelists grab a copy of the Ultimate Safelist Survival<br />
Guide &#8211; it&#8217;s not expensive and it covers all the steps above and the following:</strong></p>
<p>The Big mistake</p>
<p>The Inbox Routine</p>
<p>Posting ads</p>
<p>Regular Safelists</p>
<p>Credit Based Safelists</p>
<p>SafeAdLists</p>
<p>Viral List Builders</p>
<p>Tracking Your Ads</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t post the same ad to all the lists.</p>
<p>How To Write Killer Safelist Ads That Get Results &#8211; <strong>Important!!!<br />
</strong><br />
HTML Rocks!</p>
<p>The Clever Bit</p>
<p>Use Safelists To Brand Your Name And Face</p>
<p>Capture Leads &amp; Build Your OWN List</p>
<p>What You Can Sell Using Safelists</p>
<p>List Building Made Easy</p>
<p>The Almost Too Naughty List Building Tactics</p>
<p>Efficiency and persistence is the key</p>
<p>The Coca-Cola Way Of Thinking</p>
<p>When Is The Best Time To Post Your Safelist Ads?</p>
<p>Firefox Is Your Friend</p>
<p>Expanding With Upgrades &amp; Solo Ads</p>
<p>Yes, They DO Work!</p>
<p><strong>This was the guide that turned things around for me after a long<br />
period of modest results using safelists and put significant<br />
money in my pocket &#8211; it will for you too.<br />

- keep it short and simple and make it open in a new window.<br />
Don&#8217;t &#8217;sell&#8217; here, all it has to do is get the clickthrough to your CP.</p>
<p>A strong, attention grabbing, headline with maybe 4-5 bullet points of benefits for the reader and that&#8217;s about it.</p>
<p><strong>Remember</strong> &#8211; you only have maybe two seconds at most to grab enough<br />
attention to get the click</p>
<p>For personal branding you could add your pic and name at the bottom if you<br />
want &#8211; make it a less important feature than the points above</p>
<p>The CP needs only to warm them up enough to get their details. Your email<br />
messages and the 12SC main page should do the selling.</p>
<p>Your splash page then, when clicked, will open up to your capture page in a<br />
new window, which allows the surfer to continue surfing uninterrupted, and<br />
come back to your capture page when he/she finishes surfing.</p>
