I still have a bit more content to add to the lens, but I thought I would go ahead and get the link loved started so it will get indexed in the search engines.
If you have not started using Squidoo, you really need to start - it is a great strategy to leverage your content! So head on over to my new lens - “MLM Funded Proposals” and take a look. Be sure and give it a rating while your there…
I received a question from Marge the other day that I thought was a good question from someone that is obviously taking action in her business - and made a good question to answer for my free MLM traffic series:
================
Hi,
I find my greatest problem is getting guaranteed “free” traffic to my
Website. I do use Traffichoopla.com - they give a list of the very
best Traffic Exchanges. I only use 1 Safewlist - themadvlad.com.
Have you any suggestions with regard to getting traffic to my Website?
Thanking you - Marge.
=================
Marge, great question! I also appreciate the links you have sent me, I will check them out as well.
I am a big fan of traffic exchanges and mailing list builders for a couple of reasons. First they take very little time to set-up and keep them running. They may or may not bring in floods of traffic, but when you get a enough trickles from different sources it all adds up to a flowing river of traffic to your landing pages.
I am particularly interested in traffic builders that let you email other users. This is different from a Safe List - which I have not found to be very effective. The type of system I am referring to allows you to email other members of the site to promote your site.
Here are the four of these sites I am using right now to grow my list and build my business:
All four of these come with a free version - however, you really want to take a strong look at the one time offer which will be shown only once on your first login to the system. I have purchased the one time offers in all four of these programs because it is worth every penny!
You see the free versions will work, but you will be limited on how many members you can email and how often you can email them. To truely leverage the system, I take advantage of the membership upgrade when offered, which will allow you to email more members, more often.
So what should you email them? Keep your email short and simple. Give you link at least 3 times in the body of the email. You should only promote one link per email - and it should go to a lead capture or squeeze page. The least effective way to use this resource is to send them to your company provided web site.
You would either send the traffic to your personal site or one of the generic prospecting systems out there. You want to get the lead and then be able to build a relationship with that person over time.

I can hear many of you saying now “What the heck is Squidoo?”
Okay, as you know Web 2.0 is all the rage these days in fact there are courses out there costing $1,000’s of dollars to teach you how to use these systems.
But today, I am going to give you a quick lesson on one of these Web 2.0 sites for fr’ee!
So what is Squidoo? Squidoo is a social networking site that allows you to create what are called lenses. A lense is nothing more than a one page site on a specific topic. You then load up content on that topic and publish your lense for the world to see.
The beauty of this system is that Squidoo makes it very easy to create your lense - they have all these “fill in the blank” modules that make is super easy to use.
What can you create a lense on? Anything! But for the purpose of growing your M’LM business, you want to keep it focused on lead generation.
I even have an example to show you. I just created this lense - it only took me about one hour to create which included writing the content!
The keyword phrase I focused this lense on is “90 Day M’LM Success Plan”.
Google love Squidoo, and other search engines do as well. So with minimal promotion you can have a lense that ranks highly for search terms. So when you create your lense, keep the phrase you want to rank for in mind.
Now, Squidoo is very easy to use. I recommend that you simply get an account set up and get started building a couple of lenses.
However, if you really think you need a step-by-step guide to the system, the Queen of Squidoo training is Tiffany Dow. She has put together a guide that will step you thru creating a lense. You can pickup a copy here:
