The toktumi affiliate program is one of the best and simplest in the industry. This letter describes everything you need to know to start making money referring toktumi products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important thing you need is your toktumi affiliate link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.toktumi.com/welcome.aspx?agentid=130601&quot;&gt;http://www.toktumi.com/welcome.aspx?agentid=130601&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use your link in emails, in blogs, or linked from banners to drive traffic to Toktumi and earn commissions. Click here to view and download sample banner ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When visitors click on your link to reach toktumi, they are forever connected to you in our systems. Even if they visit other websites, find toktumi again through other affiliates, or wait several days before activating, you will still get credit as the first person to bring the customer to toktumi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every time a customer signs up for a trial or paid account, you will get an email confirmation. When a trial user converts to paid, you will get another email confirmation. You get paid $10 for a trial and another $10 when they convert from a trial to a paid customer. If they sign up directly for paid service without going through the trial, you earn $20. In addition to the automatic emails, we&#39;ll send you a report at the beginning of each month detailing the prior months sales and earnings, and will either send you a check or make a credit to your paypal account depending on your preference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a good overview of toktumi&#39;s value proposition, click here to review a summary of toktumi&#39;s key features. We strongly recommend you dig deeper by reading about our features in detail and watching our screencasts The more you understand about toktumi, the better job you can do selling it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last but not least, are you already a toktumi customer? A happy customer makes the best salesman, so we strongly encourage all our affiliates to become full-time paid users of our service before they start marketing to others.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/feeds/3431858263928827268/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/2009/06/tokumi-affiliate-program.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/576066303608157673/posts/default/3431858263928827268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/576066303608157673/posts/default/3431858263928827268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/2009/06/tokumi-affiliate-program.html' title='TOKUMI AFFILIATE PROGRAM'/><author><name>Peter A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01832947368132708888</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576066303608157673.post-7345636597780549668</id><published>2009-06-23T07:56:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T08:02:23.490-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How Can I &quot;Advertise&quot; Without &quot;Advertising&quot; In A Forum?</title><content type='html'>This is brilliant stuff!

You have  A SIGNATURE.&lt;br /&gt;What is a forum signature? All forums have these they are just set up different. On the bottom of each message your post will contain your signature... AUTOMATICALLY!&lt;br /&gt;This is your opportunity to advertise.. without technically advertising. People will get interested and click on your link.. especially if you tend to be active in the forum.&lt;br /&gt;Which are You?&lt;br /&gt;In forums there are two types of people, these are Doers and Followers. Post like a doer&lt;br /&gt;And not a follower, and watch how people start to look up to you.&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;m not saying that you shouldn&#39;t ask questions and try to find help, as of course you&lt;br /&gt;Need to do this! But if other people post questions and need help.. why not try to offer&lt;br /&gt;them your help? The more you help others the more you will become a &quot;Doer&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;Also, it&#39;s easy to start new and interesting discussions</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/feeds/7345636597780549668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-can-i-advertise-without-advertising.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/576066303608157673/posts/default/7345636597780549668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/576066303608157673/posts/default/7345636597780549668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-can-i-advertise-without-advertising.html' title='How Can I &quot;Advertise&quot; Without &quot;Advertising&quot; In A Forum?'/><author><name>Peter A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01832947368132708888</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576066303608157673.post-3047067453909324480</id><published>2009-06-12T11:38:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-12T11:44:21.155-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Increasing earnings</title><content type='html'>in affiliate marketing increasing traffic to your blog or website is an impotant method of increased earning. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vinefire.com/share.php&quot;&gt;http://www.vinefire.com/share.php &lt;/a&gt;gives you 10$ as sign up bonus why referral also gets 10$ so why not join to increase your earnings</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/feeds/3047067453909324480/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/2009/06/increasing-earnings.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/576066303608157673/posts/default/3047067453909324480'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/576066303608157673/posts/default/3047067453909324480'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://donaffiliate.blogspot.com/2009/06/increasing-earnings.html' title='Increasing earnings'/><author><name>Peter A</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01832947368132708888</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576066303608157673.post-966483308485163652</id><published>2009-06-09T07:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T06:27:57.249-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="carol kinsey"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="seven seconds advantage"/><title type='text'>Seven Second Advantage</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;font-;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:;&quot;&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:;&quot;&gt; In the world of business, you just have seven seconds to make a positive first impression - but if you handle it well, seven seconds is all you need! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    by Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    You&#39;re at a business conference and you turn to the stranger standing next to you. He turns to face you and in that instant your brain makes a thousand computations. Is he someone to approach or to avoid? Should you flee or be friendly? Will he harm you or help you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In about seven seconds you&#39;ve already decided whether you like him. Sure, your opinion may change once you get to know the person better, but that first impression will always linger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    And, by the way, while you&#39;re consciously and unconsciously evaluating him, he&#39;s also making the same kind of instantaneous judgments about you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In business interactions, first impressions are crucial. Once someone mentally labels you as &quot;likeable&quot; or &quot;unlikable,&quot; everything else you do will be viewed through that filter. If someone likes you, she&#39;ll look for the best in you. If she doesn&#39;t like you, or if she mistrusts you, she&#39;ll suspect devious motives in all your actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The same nonverbal cues that draw you to certain people are what others are instinctively looking for in you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    While you can&#39;t stop people from making snap decisions - the human brain is hardwired in this way as a prehistoric survival mechanism - you can understand how to make those decisions work in your favor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    First impressions are more heavily influenced by nonverbal cues than verbal cues. In fact, studies have found that nonverbal cues have over four times the impact on the impression you make than anything you say. Luckily, the same nonverbal factors that draw you to certain people are what others are instinctively looking for in you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    We all want to do business with people who are trustworthy and energizing, who put us at ease and make us feel good about ourselves. Luckily, these are the very qualities that you can project nonverbally in those first crucial seven seconds. Here are six powerful ways to make a positive first impression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    1. Adjust your attitude.&lt;br /&gt;    People pick up your attitude instantly. Before you turn to greet someone, or enter an office for a business interview, or step onstage to make a presentation, think about the situation and make a conscious choice about the attitude you want to embody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Attitudes that attract people include friendly, happy, receptive, patient, approachable, welcoming, helpful and curious. Attitudes that are off-putting include angry, impatient, bored, arrogant, afraid, disheartened, and suspicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    2. Stand tall.&lt;br /&gt;    Pull your shoulders back and hold your head high. This is a posture of confidence and self-esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    3. Smile.&lt;br /&gt;    A smile is an invitation, a sign of welcome. It says, &quot;I&#39;m friendly and approachable.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    4. Make eye contact.&lt;br /&gt;    Looking at someone&#39;s eyes transmits energy and indicates interest and openness. (To improve your eye contact, make a practice of noticing the eye color of everyone you meet.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    5. Raise your eyebrows.&lt;br /&gt;    Open your eyes slightly more than normal to simulate the &quot;eyebrow flash&quot; that is the universal signal of recognition and acknowledgement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    6. Shake hands.&lt;br /&gt;    This is the quickest way to establish rapport. It&#39;s also the most effective. Research shows it takes an average of three hours of continuous interaction to develop the same level of rapport that you can get with a single handshake. (Just make sure you have palm-to-palm contact and that the web of you hand touches the web of the other person&#39;s.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    7. Lean in slightly.&lt;br /&gt;    Leaning forward shows you&#39;re engaged and interested. But be respectful of the other person&#39;s space. That means, in most business situations, staying about two feet away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Once you&#39;ve passed the &quot;seven-second test&quot; and are engaged in conversation with another person, you can create a lasting and positive impact by adding a single nonverbal component to a simple verbal statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Here&#39;s how to do it: When you meet someone and they tell you their name, find a way to repeat that name later in the conversation. And as you do, anchor the positive emotion (which your use of their name evokes) by touching the person lightly on the forearm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The impact of this brief touch comes from the fact that you have aroused positive feelings in an individual by remembering and using his name, and as you touch his arm, those positive emotions get linked (or anchored) to your touch. Then at subsequent meetings you can reactivate that initial favorable impression by once again lightly touching your acquaintance&#39;s arm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Every encounter, from conferences to meetings to training sessions to business lunches, presents an opportunity to meet people, network, and expand your professional contacts by making a positive first impression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    You&#39;ve got just seven seconds - but if you handle it well, seven seconds are all you need!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D., is an executive coach, author and keynote speaker who addresses association, government, and business audiences around the world.
