Apsense Doppleganger? Not quite!

If you've been following what's been going on in the Internet Marketing scene then I'm sure you've at least heard about DesktopLightning.com by now. A lot of people are saying really good things about the site, but are they true? A catchy new viral marketing tool, capable of broadcasting messages directly to people's desktops. Easy to use, and caters primarily to those who have something they want to promote and are looking for a better way to do it. When I was first introduced to DesktopLightning.com, I wasn't quite sure exactly what to think. Everyone was saying it was going to be more powerful than e-mail marketing, but this seemed like too bold of a claim. I signed up anyway, since I usually give things a chance -- especially when they're free! The signup process did take about 60 seconds, as advertised, and their software program downloaded and installed in about 30 seconds. No long, tedious install processes here. If you own downloadable software, you might want to take a look at how quick their install process is. Right after installing the software, it ran immediately, and I was quickly presented with a tool to invite my friends. Within one-click's access was my Inbox, the tool to send broadcasts, a statistics page, and my favorite, the "Build Your Network" page. I'll get more into why that's my favorite page later. I'm not sure if it's because of their unique concept or the slick implementation, but this site is REALLY viral. Here's some of the testimonials they got, which I think sum it up pretty well: "I haven't ever seen a system build a downline so fast. I joined your program just to try something new. Four days later I had a downline of 43 people. This is unbelievable." ~ Harry Joseph "This website is so viral - I received over 100 sign-ups and my network is already 5 levels deep in less than 48 hours." ~ Rene Keiser Although they obviously can't guarantee results for anyone, the general consesus is that most people who do get those initial few people in are experiencing results similar to these. I give DesktopLightning.com an A+ for spreading like wildfire. Direct-To-Desktop Broadcasts - just like Apsense So, once you have the people in your network from the direct invitations and the viral growth, then it really gets cool. Now is when you get to broadcast whatever message you want directly to their desktops. If you upgrade to their Platinum membership, then you can even get exact statistics on the percentage of your broadcasts that were opened. I'm sure you can see why this type of communication has been more successful than email as of late, so I won't get into it too much here. The basic point though is that there's no way your message can be lost, overlooked, or blocked by any filters. If you upgrade to their Platinum service you can do things like embed video and sound right into the broadcast, Most sites out there nowadays don't really help you build a network of people below you. They just throw you a URL and tell you to run with it. While this works for most advanced people, it's not something that's very easy for people who are just starting out. DesktopLightning.com went really far this time to make sure that everyone has a way to bring people into their network, regardless of skill level. When you click on the "Build Your Network" link from within their application, you'll be presented with a surprising number of tools to help you build your downline. Everything from banners, to popups, to text ads, to invitation tools, to emails to send out, etc. Then, they continue to offer something which I haven't seen on any Internet Marketing site yet -- they have a "Starting From Scratch" section, designed specifically for people who have no list and no website with traffic. If you're in that position, then you'll love this section, since they detail specific strategies you can use to promote DesktopLightning.com (or anything for that matter), even if you don't have anything to start with. Quite a valuable resource. Basically, the bottom line is that DesktopLightning.com is a promotional tool. You need to have something you want to promote or advertise before you can really make use of the site. If you do have something to promote, that's when the site really shines. I would recommend this site to anyone who has something to promote or advertise. It definitely works, and your downline will grow extremely fast if you put some energy into getting it started. If you want to advertise or promote something to a lot of people in a unique and poweful way, then this site is for you. At any rate, my general opinion is that since it's so quick to set up and try, if you have something you want to promote you might as well go check it out. You can always remove it later if you decide you don't like it. Here's the link where you can sign up: www.DesktopLightning.com/susan47 Enjoy! :) San
