The Stark Truth Behind How To Get 47,397 Followers On Twitter – FREE BONUS report

The Stark Truth Behind How To Get 47,397 Followers On TwitterMorning everyone,

Two days ago, my petunias were sooo frosted, it was amazing that I didn’t burst into icicles here at my computer!

Several times during the day, I was inundated by a ridiculous "Boost Your Twitter Followers By 46K" or some such idjut emotionally appealing numbers

It really, to quote my kids, pissed me off!

Just like the ‘make money fast’ with zero efforts play on the dream, the above claim tries to utilize sneaky or useless or just plain icky tactics that will ultimately backfire on you in the future (be it money lost, time wasted, etc.etc.etc.).

So!  I decided to demystify it with my free report:

The Stark Truth Behind How To Get 47,397 Followers On Twitter





You can access this for FREE by signing up for my Income Fitness Prelaunch over at www.IncomeFitness.com (it will also give you an idea of the quality of material I share in that blueprint.   Just think…if I’m GIVING away ideas like this, what on earth will you receive from the premium package?  :)   ).

By the way, this is the 5th free report people on my list have received…and it will only get better and better.  Trust me, you do NOT want to miss what I reveal.

Get it today by clicking on the book cover below and signing up for the prelaunch for free.  I’ll see you there!

Delight Your Visitors – Easily Add Online Help for Free

Income FitnessMorning!

Anyone have some coffee to fax over?  :)

I’m up to my earlobes in designing the Income Fitness Prelaunch, and decided to add some rather cool interactivity.  This morning, I just built the VIP Income Fitness Membership Private site (signing up at Income Fitness will give it to you for free!) and remembered a beautiful piece of software that really adds to the professional appearance of your site.

You’ve probably seen Live Help demonstrations, right?  You know, those cute little buttons that look like

Live Help!

It’s really a great addition to your site – it gives visitors the ability to chat in real time with live operators.  And if you’re a one woman shop like me, it also lets visitors send the operator email….directly.  Good stuff!

Well, did you know you can add that to your site for free?

The software is called Crafty Syntax and is available at www.CraftySyntax.com .  It takes less than 5 minutes to set up…and when you’re done, you’ll see something like:

Free Live Chat

If I’m not available, the visitor will be presented with a customizable email form so they can contact me offline as well.

Neat huh?  And like I said….it’s 100% free. 

Why not add it to your site today?

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling

#1 way to make money online with CommentLuv longterm – Part 2

Morning!

A few days ago, I wrote

How to make gratuitous profits with CommentLuv longterm – Part 1

I was going to write today’s post last Thursday, but instead wrote

How to dramatically increase your optin list with ease

Can you guess why?  There really is a method to me madness indeed!

It’s okay, I’ll wait…take your time to guess why. 

Tick tock tick tock tick tock….

Alrighty!  Here’s why. Read more

How to dramatically increase your optin list with ease

 

Big Huge Lists!Morning!

Yes, I know….today I’m supposed to write Part II about Gratuitous Profits via CommentLuv.  It occured to me, however, that I should really proactively demonstrate part II FIRST…and then reveal to my readers just what I managed to secretly achieve.

So!  You’ll be seeing part II next Monday.  For today, I’d like to talk instead about your optin mailing list.

aWeberYou DO have one, right?  You know, it’s that thing called your newsletter or your ezine or your free 7 day eclass or your ….. anything, in fact, that compels your blog visitors to give you their email address so you can contact them in the future.

Your optin list is powered by your autoresponder.  I myself have been using aWeber now for over 8 years – you can read my review of it at

Review – aWeber autoresponder, going on 8 years now

Anywhos!  As you might have heard, the money is in the list.  The bigger your list is, the more people who see your products/affiliate links/blogs/etc., and the more probability that someone will buy from you.

Remember – the money is in the list.

Thus, to really beef up your Income Fitness, you WANT to ensure your list grows and grows and grows and grows and grows and ….. you get the idea.  :)

Now, a great way to do this is to have some sort of giveway (here’s MINE, the first installation of my Income Fitness series).  You want to make it IMPOSSIBLE for your visitors to miss it!  What I do is include an optin in my right sidebar, on the top of my page, plus I occassionally drive traffic via Twitter.

But I also use…..

Ultimatefooter

You see, every 3 or 4 times someone visits my site, the above graphic pops up ON MY FOOTER. 

This immediately draws the attention of the visitor…and more likely than not, they’ll sign up if the bonus appeals to them.

I bought this about 3 months ago and really have found it to be tops indeed. 

Thus….want to dramatically grow YOUR optin list?  Visit:

www.OptinFooters.com

and see for yourself.  Chances are, you’ll be most pleasantly surprised indeed.

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling

How to make gratuitous profits with CommentLuv longterm – Part 1

CommentLuvMorning!  Over at my forums, someone just posted:

Make money with CommentLuv

and the question was:

I’ve been looking around online and lots of sites have this thing called Commentluv on them from CommentLuv . How does this make them money?

Since today is Monday, and I now post at this blog on Mondays and Wednesdays, I figured….jeepers, it would make a spiffy topic indeed to explore!  So let’s get right to it.

You have to remember that money doesn’t always have to be made TODAY.  Yes, indeed, it’s more wonderful than Read more

I'm quoted in the LA Times about Twitter, Scams, Buyer Beware, and Reading the TOS

Terms ServiceMorning everyone,

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with Tiffany Hsu of the LA Times regarding her article:

Here’s a portion of the article:

…Online predators have hit on social media site Twitter as the latest tool to lure victims into get-rich-quick and work-at-home schemes, according to the Better Business Bureau.

After tracking years of scams involving e-mail and Google, the bureau is seeing a surge in the number of companies claiming to help people turn Twitter into a virtual ATM with little effort and no risk, said spokeswoman Alison Southwick.,….

My part came in when I was asked about Twitter Profit House.  You might remember that became a very active thread on the Virtual Coach Income Fitness forums over at

where I demystified the Terms of Service portion of the site.  To wit: Read more
