Hi Folks,

May I suggest we sit down think about it and make a list then post it in one post.
Otherwise we are going to give admin a long list of comments to go through.

This is not pointed at Eric. I saw his two posts and it made me think about this and I messaged him and asked what he thought about it as well.

As far as building your network. I reverse market to those that send me emails asking me to join this or that network. I also post an aspense banner on each of my other networking sites. I also went through my business address book and sent personal invites to all there.

I like this Idea
For instance many do not know how to make there links live . But just putting it in words is not enough. some need to be shown how to do it. I think this would be most helpful can any one do this ?

Lets not to picky here. I think its a great idea, any tip is a great idea. If you have a dedicated tip section members can go to that section and simply read that "tip" or "explanation" that they may need help with.

Here's a few that I tell everybody I can:
1. When building your contact list, remember that marketing is all about building relationships. I rarely read the mass numbers of automated replies from autoresponders, and you probably don't either. I'm not saying eliminate the autoresponder series entirely, simply that a successful online professional will complement these with a personal email or phone call on a regular basis.
2. Build a splash or lead capture page or two for the pages you are promoting, and circulate them in the traffic exchanges, instead of a generic affiliate page that is just like everybody else's. This not only makes you stand out, it gives you an opportunity to see who has visited you , rather than seeing the url of the traffic exchange where your referrals came from.
3. Test and track everything. If you use 10 traffic exchanges, each one should have its own tracking link for the same page. The same goes with safelist ads, or text ads.
4. Don't overpromote. Many people send the same ad to every safelist they are enrolled in. Try to use at least two different ones, using several different subject lines, and don't promote with those ads again for at least a week. If you are using pre-written ads, rewrite them to make them your own, and don't forget to change the subject lines a little. Be creative and give your potential customers something new to read.
5. Proofread everything you write, spell check, and then proofread again. Have a trusted friend or colleague read over your work if possible to get their feed back. This could make a real difference in your conversion rates.

***Tips on Creating Better Groups Discussions***

-- To encourage discussion, make your topics "replyable". Ask questions that NEED answers.

-- Look at your contacts profiles. If you have a group that would interest them, let them know about it.

-- Keep your topics short, if need be, write a blog and direct users to your blog through a short paragraph or 2 in group discussions.

Kristian,

In this area I would be careful to get respected people in Apsense.
As you know there are many people here, I can see it would be helpful
if done properly. I do however think as FAQs are easy to find this is helpful
and for one to take the time to read this over before launching into Networking
is instrumental. It may be helpful to show how long a person has been a member, the longer you have been here it seems, the more you know.

I must be spending more time at apsense support services.

Here is a tip for increasing your network...
Select the category from the groups page and look at the profiles of the members and their home page. If the page and profile is in tune with your business, clik the profile name and then the contact me button.

The member will receive your message and will approve if he finds your business and your profile in tune with his business

I think she might have helped herself Bj, from what i understand, she helped herself... she had blocked herself and couldn't delete her own group... (I think)

Hi Again Jenn,

Edit the group and make sure you didnt set a honor point posting limit
Make sure it is at Zero then save it again this might help.

If you cant do that then I suspect you deleted your self from the group as well and it is definatly a support job.
