How To Earn Commission From Traffic Exchange Programs

1. Branding
   Using those personalized splash page do actually work, not right away but overtime. When you spend time helping other people in forums and what not, your name is recognized and as soon as your face or name appears on splash page next time they surf, they will remember you and over time they will begin to trust you. Promote till they either puke or sign up as Soren would always say.
   
   
2. Use Effective Splash Pages or Squeezepage
   One of my mistakes was promoting a splashpage with almost next to nothing click to signup ratio. It was bad enough that no one was clicking on my splash page but they were not signing up at all and if no one is signing up, no one is upgrading or buying credits. You need to test a splash page if some one is clicking on them, once you've done that you need to find out if prospects are signing up. If the prospects are signing up, you need to promote it on a wide scale. Once the splash page looses it's effectiveness, go back to the drawing board and start the process over again. Try giving away different ebooks or reports and track your results.
   
   
3. Be Everywhere
   There is a method to this madness. You can't expect to get referrals when you are only promoting it in one or two exchange. Remember there are well over 150 traffic exchange programs out there but only several of them are worth mentioning. Promote your splash in the most active exchange as often as possible and as many exchange as possible, if you have to join a traffic co-op, buy credits or surf till it hurts, so be it.
   
   That's why I just love those TE co-ops because your site will be shown in so many traffic exchange and you don't have to do anything.
   
   
4. Promote A Good Program
   What's the point of spending all that time and money promoting a traffic exchange when the admin don't return your calls, emails or always late paying commission. Find a program that offers your prospects value for their time or money. People love to hear a program that pays on time, for some people that's all they care about, but for others it's all about the reputation. It's funny how when people hear something that's good or popular, they want a piece of it, they all come in by the boat load. Also choose a traffic exchange that offers 50% or more commission.
   
   
5. Be Thankful
   Each and everytime someone signs up under you, send them a thank you note even if they're not going to upgrade their account right way, thank them anyway and if they upgrade or buy credits later on, thank them again. I have to remind myself to thank all of my team members more often.
   
   
6. Stay Focus
   It is so easy to get side tract from your goals because of the onslaught of new programs showing up everyday. You can still sign up for them but don't promote them, instead promote your favorite traffic exchange in them. Some of the new programs have forum where you can join for free and participate and help other people with their problems, in return you will get traffic to your sites then referrals followed by commissions, then Halleluia!. Set a goal as to how long you're going to promote it, if it's for 1 year, don't stop until you have promoted it for one full year. There will be more free members compare to upgraded members, so if you want to increase your commissions you simply have to recruit more, plain and simple.
   
   
7. Keep In Touch
   I just love it when someone from my upline sends me an email just to say hi, ya know? They tell you how their weekend went and the entire email doesn't have anything that says ' buy this! buy that!'. Share anything that might be of value to your team members or give them freebies.
