  • Dreams!

    I have absolutely no idea what kind of dreams I had last night or any night. I never can. I never remember my dreams. But, I woke up this morning thinking about branding on traffic exchanges. Branding is one of the two big B’s in ClickTrackProfit.

    We know CTP thinks traffic exchanges are useful. There is a landing page creator. The gauntlet is designed to get feedback on capture and squeeze pages used on TEs. And, there are traffic exchanges in the mastery challenges. So, CTP recognizes traffic exchanges are part of affiliate marketing but in all the lessons, there is not a single reference or lesson about traffic exchanges. Surprising.

    Let’s think about branding on TEs. The best know and obvious place for branding is the squeeze and capture pages. You can create your own and most of the TEs I know have some pages they have created that you can brand. This is great and will be seen. But think of the other places that could be branded.

    Banners could definitely be branded. Unfortunately, I have never seen a TE that has branded banners. This means you have to create your own. If you use Adkreator, you can create 9 different size banners. If you use Canva, you can create banners. If you use graphics software like Gimp or PhotoShop, you can create banners. And of course you could always hire someone, to create some banners for you. Why would you do this? I think branded banners would make you stand out. No one else is doing it. The more you are seen, the more you will be remembered.

    But the biggest branding opportunity on TEs in my opinion, is the chat functionality that most traffic exchanges have. It is free and requires very little effort. I just recently started saying ‘HELLO’ on every TE I surf. This not only gets my brand out there but it gives me a chance to meet and talk to new people. I have met several new people since I started using chat.

    We all know ads on traffic exchanges do not have a high success rate but if we are going to use them, shouldn’t we use it to the fullest extent? I have read articles that say people need to see something at least 7 and as high as 21times before they buy. Wouldn’t you think exposing them on traffic exchanges would help email marketing? Aren’t they more likely to buy if they have seen it several times on TEs? I certainly think so.

    Angry Crab

    While I was surfing SeaLifeHits today I found the Angry Crab badge. This may mean that the Angry Crab surf badges will be used tomorrow.

    This just speculation on my part we will see what tomorrow brings.

    PS – As always your comments are not only welcome but encourage. My post will only improve with your help. Thank You in advance.

  • This Is Not The Post I Intended

    This Is Not The Post I Intended

    This replaces my intended March 4, 2020 post. I couldn’t post the post because I ran out of Steem power. I didn’t even know I had Steem power. To start with I thought, “No big deal, there has to be a way to buy Steem power.” Well, if there is I can’t find it. I spent hours trying to buy Steem power. Everything I tried lead me to Block Trade. At the moment, for some reason, Block Trade can’t deal with Steem crypto currency. All the Steem currencies are “under maintenance”.

    I looked high and low for a way to purchase Steem power. Every path I followed lead me to Block Trades. There has to be somewhere else to purchase Steem crypto. If there isn’t, sounds like a great opportunity for someone who knows what they are doing. That, unfortunately, is not me. I’m lucky to get logged into Steem at this point.

    If you can’t tell, I am brand new to crypto currency. I have always been amazed how a ‘currency’ without anything backing it other than “blind faith” could survive. But, not only are they surviving, they are flourishing. So I did learn a few things trying to buy Steem power. One place I can buy and sell crypto currencies is Steem-engine.com. Problem solved right. No, you have to have crypto to buy crypto. Catch 22???

    So where can I buy crypto using a traditional method or even PayPal. ClickTrackProfit training comes through again. In the CTPtalk.com training, there is a lesson on “Buy & Selling”. In that lesson, Jon Olson recommends coinbase.com to purchase a crypto currency using traditional methods. Thought I had my quest for Steem power solved. But, NO!

    You need verify your bank account to purchase crypto. With a lot of banks you can do this online. NOT MINE! At my bank, there is an account number and then there is the account number on the check which contains the main account number with a prefix and suffix. Neither one was accepted so they are going to make two small deposits so I can verify my account. This is going to take a couple of days, so until then I am stuck and can’t do anything on Steem.

    Very Frustrating day to say the least!

    I am going to try and post this since I received a little bit of Steem power today 3/5/20. I hope it is enough.

    PS – I have almost 15 Steem delegated. I have no idea how this happened. I just learned about ‘Delegating’ today on SteemSavvy. Anyone have any idea how this may have happened? THNX

  • The Angry Crabs Are Here

    angrycrab.png

    Yeah! The Angry Crab surf badges showed up today at SeaLifeHits. I thought maybe they showed up because I found the Angry Crab badge yesterday. But I had a comment from @crusin that says they just randomly appear and only last for a day. It is going to take a long time to finish each of the Mastery’s in ClickTrackProfits. Getting the referrals and commissions I need to complete the SeaLifeHits will probably take me even longer than the Angry Crab surf badges. 
    The good news is the the Angry Crab surf badges showed up. The bad news was that I had to surf 1000 sites and that takes time. I chose to forego the time I have allocated for training modules at ClickTrackProfit (CTP) for surfing. I hate not doing any training in a day because there is so much training and I am only 34% done. Maybe I can double up on training modules tomorrow.

    Another thing I am planning on doing tomorrow is start using Steempress. As I understand it, Steempress provides a bridge between my WordPress blog and my Steem blog. From what I have learned so far about Steempress, my post should show up here, Steemit, but I won’t know for sure until I try it. I am hoping that images get copied as well but noting I have read so far says that they get copied or not. I will just have to try it and see.

    Using Steempress is going to create more work because my WordPress blog is not in good shape. I am going to have to get it up to date with what I am doing now. I started the blog years ago when I was pursuing very different programs. I am going to have to change a lot.

    By the way, the WordPress blog is http://moreincome4u.com. Please understand that I need some time to get it cleaned up
