You Never Have to Lose Time Or Money On Advertising Again

That's right. Having your own traffic virus could mean that every ad you place from now on can be a winner!

The above sentence is a pretty strong statement, isn't it?

It's true.

I almost surprised myself at just how powerful a traffic virus can be when I first put mine in place. Every ad I placed instantly became a winner...even when I lost money!

Let me elaporate more on this...

Let's say you place an ezine ad, which costs you $200. You make $20 for every item you sell. You sell 9 of them through the ad so you bring in $180. You have now lost $20 on your ad. Most people would call it a failure.

I use a different system, which reduces my advertising risk. Instead of advertising directly for a product, I advertise to bring in email leads. My goal is to get people to give me their email address so I can follow-up on them.

Using autoresponders that automatically follow-up gives me the ability to set up a completely automated follow-up system for the product. Three, Seven, or even Thirty email follow-up messages can be used to generate sales for my product.

Instead of only having one shot to sell my visitors from a web site, I have thirty tries to sell them. Who do you think will make more sales?

My system actually goes one step further. I always try to use an element of viral marketing in the promotional aspect of the offer. My favorite technique is the traffic virus ebook offer.

In exchange for prospects giving me their email address, I will give them a highly informative free ebook, which they are allowed to pass around and give to their buddies. Not only will the book teach them, but also they can use it to produce more traffic and sales at their web site.

They win by getting a very valuable book for free. I win because my traffic virus gets started. I still get to follow-up by email to sell them my products and services...so I am still bringing in immediate profits from my advertising.

Let's say I place the ad above for $200 and only bring in $180. I lose $20 today, BUT this is only the beginning of the traffic the ad will generate for me.

All of those people who visited my site...who may or may not of bought my product...are now passing around my free ebook and sending more visitors my way.

More sales are made next month...and the month after...and the month after. It is a never-ending process of sales being made.

The $20 I lost originally from the ad will be replaced hundreds of times through new visitors I never have to work or pay for. Every single ad I place becomes a launch point for another aspect of my traffic virus.

Having a traffic virus reduces your advertising risk.

Look at this way. If you are paying for your advertising, then every time you place an ad you are risking your money. Your ad may or may not produce a profit. You could make $1,000 from your $200 ad or you may lose $100.

If you have a traffic virus in place, then your ad can continue to work for you years into the future and it reduces your advertising risk. Even when you lose money, you still win in the long run.

What if you are only using free advertising methods? This system still reduces your risk. Free advertising costs you time (and we all only have 24 hours in a day so it is limited just like money). You may spend your time placing free ads and produce $100 in profits. If those ads took you 10 hours to place, then you only earned $10 an hour for your time.

Ten dollars an hour wouldn't be very good time investment for your business. If you had a traffic virus in place, other people would then start advertising for you by taking and handing out your traffic-generating machine to others.

You may have only earned $10 an hour while working on your free advertising, but your traffic virus then goes to work for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You generate traffic forever for the 10 hours you spent advertising this week.

Wouldn't it be better to profit today...and build a residual income for the future at the same time?

Let's take a look at some of the major corporations using their own traffic virus and let's also look at what happens when you don't have a traffic virus working for you.

Good luck in your traffic virus.
