Viral Tweet Builder On Hold Until Further Notice

If you, my readers, tried to access Viral Tweet Builder through my links in a previous post and were unable to access the program, here’s why.  I received an e-mail from Shannon Murphy, a member of the Viral Tweet Builder team.  I have posted here response here:

Steve,

Some of you may or may not know, this past Friday Twitter deactivated our API key. In layman’s terms, our application can no longer send or receive data from Twitter.

This is a total surprise to us, seeing that we under went a complete program make-over in September of 2010 to comply with Twitter’s requests. A member of their API team looked over our application and activated our API key. Thus, we vigorously moved forward with the growth and development of Viral Tweet Builder under the impression we were in great standing with Twitter.

We are currently awaiting reply from Twitter as to if there is anything we can do to solve this problem. We are urging a solution that is fair to Viral Tweet Builder and it’s members (abrupt and complete termination would not be fair).

In light of the recent developments, we have no choice but place a hold on Viral Tweet Builder’s affiliate program until we hear from Twitter.  All affiliate links will be redirected to http://vtbfree.com/notice.html

You may also find the latest updates at http://viraltweetbuilderblog.com

Please, be patient during this process. We will be in touch over the next several days with further information.

Sincerely,
Shannon Murphy
VTB Team

This is/was a good program.  Hopefully, they will be able to get things figured out and we will see it return. I’ll keep you posted as to the status of Viral Tweet Builder as they become available.

My Personal Experience With “Mentoring For Free”

About three months ago, I left my last internet network marketing opportunity disappointed and frustrated.  I had invested a lot of money and two and a half years of my time building a business that got me no where.  I bought into the promises which turned out to be lies.   I promoted the way my sponsor suggested with no results.  I tried some marketing on my own and got some results, but only earned just enough to break even every month.   I was not getting ahead and I was done.   It was time to move on and try something different.

As I began searching for a new way to build a network marketing company online, I stumbled across a website offering a free e-book entitled, “Success In 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy.  The book explained the process most people go through when they explore the network marketing industry, answering the question, “Why do most people fail in their chosen businesses?” Michael Dlouhy pulled back the curtain and exposed the lies and told the truth about succeeding in mlm.

After reading the e-book, I had hope that I really could build my business online.  I sent an e-mail to the person that was mentioned in the book as my personal mentor.   Honestly, I did not expect a repsonse, but within a few hours I had received a response and we had a good conversation over the phone.   I learned that “Success In 10 Steps” was introduction to a program called “Mentoring For Free“, which offered generic internet network marketing training that anyone could use to build any business for free.

I was invited by my mentor to listen to a couple of recorded training calls, and with a degree of skepticism, I agreed to listen to them.   I learned why my lack of success was not my fault; how to determine if I was in the right company and/or compensation plan; the “Colors To Success” and how to deal with different personality types; and much more.  Needless to say, I was impressed.

After listening to the recorded calls, my mentor informed me that “Mentoring For Free” offered 10 hours of live training conference calls each week where I could continue my education and personal development.   Topics included leadership, personal development, marketing and advertising, live prospecting calls and a weekly coaches corner call.   All calls were generic in nature, live and interactive; and no companies were mentioned and no products were sold.   Most of the calls were recorded and stored in an archive,  so if I couldn’t attend the live call, the calls were available to listen to later.

So for the past 90 days I have been using this amazing resource to grow my business and obtain the skills I need to be successful in the network marketing industry.  This has been the missing link I’ve needed to take my business to the next level.   It is nice to know that I have people that I can count on and who will hold me accountable to the plans I have developed for myself.

Anywhere else, this type of coaching and training would cost hundreds of dollars, but in “Mentoring For Free” you have a community of people who are interested in your success with no hidden agenda, except to help you become better in your business.

So, if you are struggling in your own business, if you haven’t gotten the upline support you feel you deserved, and if want an honest coaching and training system that will work with any business,  I would suggest giving “Mentoring For Free” a try.  To learn more, click any of the links throughout this post. It won’t cost you a dime, so why not give it a try?

I took the tour and and now I am using Viral Tweet Builder to manage my Twitter Accounts from one platform.  I can schedule future tweets, search for followers specific to my target markets, and can start promoting products from Clickbank and Paydotcom right from the platform.

I found Viral Tweet Builder to be very user-friendly.  Even if you are a Twitter novice, you can use this system because there is step-by-step video instructions to walk you through the process of using the entire system.  If you are an experienced twitter user, you will appreciate the simplicity of the platform and the awesome tool it is to build your followers in your specific niche.  You can learn more by taking the free tour here:

Viral Tweet Builder recently went live and here is what one excited user had to say about the system.  “OMG! The fact that there is a tool, this stunning, is remarkable!  I can’t believe you are not charging for this, lol.  I have been a member less than a week and my followers are following like crazy!!  I even had a Clickbank sale!!!  You guys are totally awesome !!  I can not thank you enough!!!” –Andrea Smith

After I took the tour, my original intention was just to take the free option,  I elected to upgrade after seeing the benefits of the full system.  Whether you elect the free option or the upgrade, this amazing system can build your Twitter following faster that anything else I have seen.

In the next few weeks you will be seeing promotions for this program as it rolls out.  Why not be the one who rolls it out to your list, rather than letting them finding it from someone else?  It is worth the 5 minutes it takes to check out Viral Tweet Builder.

Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody

Here’s a great little story when people don’t want to accept responsibility or are too lazy to get things done.  Love it! Thought I would pass it along.

“Once upon a time, there were four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody.  When there was an important job to be done, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.  Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.  When Nobody did it, Everybody got angry because it was Somebody’s job.  Everybody thought somebody would do it, but Nobody realized that Nobody would do it.  So it ended up that Everybody blames Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place.”

So when there is a job that can be done and you can do it, DO IT!  Don’t wait for somebody else.  Don’t blame someone else for your own neglect.  The sooner you accept responsibility for your own life the better off you will be.  Remind yourself constantly,  “I am responsible!  I am responsible!  I am responsible!” By accepting personal responsibility, you take back your personal power by eliminating the negative habit of  blame.   Accepting responsibility is difficult because the only one you truly have to blame is yourself.  Blaming others always gives away your personal power to someone else.

So to feel free and in control of your life, simply start accepting personal responsibility.

Can You Really Have Free Conference Calls?

When a speaker phone or a three-way call just won’t work, try freeconferencecall.com, a free teleconferencing service.  If you are paying for conference calls, you are paying too much!

Today I needed to speak with two of my associates who both lived more than an hour away and I needed a solution other than three-way calling.  I did a quick google search and found freeconferencecall.com. Really? Free conference calling? I had to check it out.

http://www.freeconferencecall.com/prodfreeconferencecall.asp

Getting started was simple enough. I simply clicked a button, entered my name and e-mail address and was given a dedicated conference call dial-in number with an exclusive pin# for my call. The service was available for my immediate use without a reservation or having to schedule a meeting time.

The free service is available 24/7 and can accommodate up to 96 callers on one line. This works perfectly for my small team. Also, the service comes with free conference call recording for playback at a later time for no additional fee! You can access the recordings by phone or computer, or send the playback to others via a podcast or RSS feed.

What can you use this teleconferencing service for? Here are just a few suggestions.

  • Regional/National sales meetings
  • New product training or launches
  • Multi-vendor conferences
  • Project management team meetings
  • Teaching/Educational seminars
  • Motivational seminars
  • School/group organization meetings
  • sports team meetings
  • Family reunions

I think you get the idea. I tried out the free conference calling service today and it worked perfectly. I was so impressed by the service I am recommending this service to others. Give it a try! You will not be disappointed. You’ll never have to pay for another conference calling service again! Get started here:

Advertising With Traffic Exchanges

I debated writing a post about advertising with traffic exchanges.  It is a controversial subject in the internet marketing world.  You either like ‘em or you hate ‘em.  No gray area here.  Some internet marketers claim to get great results with traffic exchanges while others are convinced that they are just a waste of time.

If you are not familiar with the traffic exchange concept, basically you agree to view other people’s websites in exchange for the option to have others view yours.  If you have a very limited or no advertising budget at all, but have the time to invest in “traffic surfing” this is a great free option to start promoting your website or online business.   The downside is that it takes a lot of time to accumulate credits that will turn into views for your website.

However, the more you surf, the more traffic credits you earn for your own website.  You can also earn additional traffic credits by referring others to the exchanges.  Each traffic exchange has a different theme which keeps surfing fun and exciting.  If you do not have time to surf, you can also buy credits for traffic to your website.

You probably already have run into traffic exchanges already.  In fact, you may be already using them for promotional purposes. That’s Great! If not, that’s fine too, but how do you know which one(s) to surf?  There are a lot of them out there, and not all traffic exchanges are the same. The best results will come from those that have the most traffic are actively being surfed by other marketers.

Again, the question is, “How do you know if you are surfing the right traffic exchanges or just wasting your time?”  Let me give you two independent (and free) resources that can help you evaluate which traffic exchanges might be right for you.

Every week actual surfers cast their votes for their favorite traffic exchange and the results are compiled into the Affiliate Funnel Rank Report.  The traffic exchanges are ranked by popular vote by actual surfers and members of Affiliate Funnel.  You will also find additional stats for each exchange which many find helpful in choosing the right traffic exchange.  Also, the “Hit Exchange Report” provides a weekly ranking of the top performing traffic exchanges every Tuesday.  This source will provide you with additional recommendations for your traffic exchange surfing pleasure.

You can use traffic exchanges to promote any online business.   I suggest giving Traffic Exchanges  a try.  Most are free to join and you can upgrade later for additional benefits and credits.

One word of caution, though. By using traffic exchanges you are exposing yourself to multiple money-making offers which you may be tempted to join. You will see many. There are some other good opportunities out there, but most are not.  You can waste a lot of time and money jumping from one program to another and never get results.

My advice is to promote only one program at a time.  Find one you like and stick with it. When you are successful (meaning you have a steady income from your current program) you can take the skills you have learned and apply them to another program and create an additional income stream for yourself.  If you try to focus on too many opportunities at a time you will not be successful in any of them.  Trust me.  I’ve tried… and failed a lot. . . until I found….. (sorry for the shameless plug, but here it is anyway). . .

Finally, I am giving away a free traffic report, “Turn Your Clicks Into Cash.” This report reveals a brand new way of using traffic exchanges to make money online.  When I read the report, I realized that somebody had finally cracked the code and actually developed a successful method to profit with traffic exchanges.

Whether or not you actually use the methods described in the report or not, its worth the read just to understand exactly how traffic exchanges work and how to profit by using them.  You can your free copy here:

http://teprofits.com/freereport.php?r=sscores

You can use traffic exchanges to promote any website or online business I suggest giving them a try. You will not be disappointed with the results.

Victory

Victory

You are the man who used to boast
That you’d achieve the uttermost,
Some day.

You merely wished a show,
To demonstrate how much you know
And prove the distance you can go. . . .

Another year we’ve just passed through.
What new ideas came to you?
How many big things did you do?

Time . . . left twelve fresh months in your care
How many of them did you share
With opportunity and dare
Again where you so often missed?

We do not find you on the list of Maker’s Good.
Explain that fact!
Ah no, ‘twas not the chance you lacked!
As usual—you failed to ACT!

(by Herbert Kauffman)
