Here's a more detailed description of how the Real Network works.
1. You join the group by emailing me [address below and on contacts page] and telling me your name, a little about yourself, and the sites/products/ content you'd like traffic on. Then your name gets added to the Real Network list. The only prerequisite for joining the group is that you have some information to share, something you'd like us all to consider buying, or something that you're promoting (i.e. that you're an affiliate for). The urls of whatever you're sharing gets entered as part of your group info or profile.
2. This grassroots newtork we're forming can bring traffic to literally any site you want traffic on, not just money making ones. But obviously turbo charging your commercial traffic is going to be a big part of what we're doing and what makes you money. Examples include: your own personal website selling your own products, a website or article where you are selling an affiliate's products and/or have adsense ads, articles on adsense based article network sites like ehow, sites or pages where you're promoting Cost Per Action programs, and so on. Anyone familiar at all with internet marketing and business will realize this list goes on and on - the possibilities are virtually limitless.
If, however, you're only seeking to share information, that's fine too. Your informational websites, blogs, articles you have on article sites, forum posts, etc. will get entered alomg with your name as in the case of the commercial links. More often than not of course group members will have both commercial and social/informational links and the two will work together. You're encouraged to have some kind of income generating activity going on because, well, why not?
3. Once your name and the web addresses for whatever you're promoting are entered into the list, the list is shared with the other members of the group. I will send a batch email out to all the group members with the links you want traffic on. Now, since we all know that we're in this to help each other get traffic and make money, the traffic club will snap into action: Everyone on the list will begin generating traffic for the other people in the group/netwrok in two basic ways:
3A. They will visit the person's site themselves and consider buying what they are selling or promoting. If there's adsense or other ads on the site, you're encouraged to click them and consider whatever's being advertised there, as long as you don't overdo it. As I discuss a little on the dos and donts page we don't want any click fraud allagations. THIS IS NOT A BOGUS SEARCH OR CLICK RING ENTERPRISE!!!!!!!!!!
3B. The Real Network members will also generate traffic from non-members. They will tell their friends about the sites that are being promoted, place backlinks on blogs, social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace,etc.) write articles, mention the links in forums and chat rooms, etc. etc. etc. So think of it, if even one person did this for someone's site it could generate hundreds of visitors. Now imagine say, 30 people doing the same thing and you can begin to get a sense of just how much traffic can be generated if people work together. To get a feel for this, read about some example win-win cash flow situations on the cash flow page.
4. It needs to be clearly understood by each member that this is all about participation. That's what will make it both profitable and fun. The more active and participatory everybody is, the more we can vastly increase the earnings, contacts, and information exchange of members of the group. We'll visit each others sites and participate as actively as possible in whatever that site is doing. If it's a web business we will look over the products, If it's a blog we'll try to leave a comment, if there are ads and affiliate links we'll try to click through and check out what a site is promoting, and so on.
5. This simple increase in targeted, relevant traffic by people in the network is the automatic money maker that can easily generate great cash flow for all the members in a short period of time. This is high grade, hand picked, multiplying traffic. These will be people who've agreed to really up your site's action, and may even be people you know. There's not too much pressure to buy anything, no express obligation to participate and visit. But there is certainly the expectation that we will consider, click, generate more leads, and so on. That's what the club is all about.
6. In addition to plugging each others' sites, each member will invite friends of theirs to join the group. This will be no big deal. Either the current member who invited them, or the new prospective member themselves, will simply email me with the name and email address, and what they want traffic for, and I'll add them to the list. Then others in the group will see it and they can begin getting their guaranteed high quality traffic.
7. This is obviously all reciprocal, all win-win. The idea is to basically visit everybody's sites a few times a week or even every day if possible as you go about your ordinary internet activities and participate, comment, and click. This need not take more than a few minutes, and it will guarantee that we all have traffic and, of course, cash flow from whatever we're selling or promoting, be it products or services of our own, affiliation commisions, ads the at we have on our sites, and so on. That in turn will motivate further interest on the part of everybody in promoting everyone else.
8. We will actively communicate among each other about our sites and in what ways we're promoting things. After you do some promotion or visit somebody's site or content, for instance, try to maybe send them an email to them telling them about it. This will keep things responsive and active, and people informed.
9. You can offer deals to other members in the group and/or other incentives. Joint ventures can be proposed and there are lots of possibilities. What's more, we'll have the FUNDS generated by all our mutual traffic to really put ideas into action if we so desire.
10. As your funds climb and checks arrive, continue to recruit and tell the group how you're doing. This will keep us all psyched and our computers cranking out the great info, contacts, and business!
11. I'll implement what I call GREEN LIGHTS. If you either have a new product, promotion of a product, site, blog, etc. that you want traffic to, or even one that's already on the list but you want to bring more to the group's attention, email me that you need more traffic, and I'll send out a "green light" batch email to all the group members. This will be a message telling them to up the traffic to your site or link. Once the traffic club gets this, it will sping into action, visiting and promoting, and giving you a surge of traffic!
12. There's the possibility that this club could get pretty large fast. At that point we may break it into smaller groups arranged by interest or some other criterion. You'll be able to visit/promote any site of course, but we could have more focused groups'subnetworks..
That's about it. This is in the ground floor, grassroots stages and will evolve as we try things out.
