So there’s a brand new product called Viral Mail Profits which is going to launch really soon (as of writing, at least ) that I was invited to review by the admins, both of whom are really talented and good friends besides.  I’m not going to talk about why you should or shouldn’t sign up and/or upgrade. I frankly don’t even know what the pricing structure is yet!  Instead, I want to talk a bit about my experience in reviewing it.

At first, I thought that it was just a clone of Traffic Zipper.  For those who aren’t familiar, Traffic Zipper is a service that Mike Purvis provides which will automatically log you into your favorite safelists and send your messages for you.  I really didn’t like it for a bunch of reasons.  The big 3 were

1. The fact that on credit-based safelists I couldn’t see how many members I could email.  That could possibly translate into a waste of credits, or worse: under-sending to less members than I potentially could.
2. The fact that on safelists with separate text/html mails, I couldn’t customize the different options.  That’s also really important to me, since in HTML mails that contain tracking links, it’s important for me for the clickable link to not be a URL.  The reason for that is that the latter might trigger phishing-detecting programs, meaning lower penetration rates for my email.
3. The fact that I was limited to a preset list of programs, which didn’t include several programs that I regularly use

When I initially logged in to Viral Mail Profits, it looked exactly the same as Traffic Zipper.   Except for one teeny tiny detail: the one feature that I really kinda liked about Traffic Zipper – the fact that it would do the hard work for me – wasn’t even there!  What?!?

But as I explored, I found that there were a bunch of features which were much cooler.

First of all, there’s a built in link tracking on a per-link basis.  Basically, the way the system works, you prepare your email messages and list of safelists in advance, just like Mike’s program.  But at Viral Mail Profits, instead of it sending the mail for you, it just formats the message (including the first-name tags and other per-safelist specifics) and gives you the exact mail to copy/paste into the safelist you want to send from.  Like I said, this initially seemed like an annoyance.  More work for me.

Oon the other hand, it meant that I’d be keeping up-to-date on these safelists by logging in each time, and seeing how my account is doing, and maybe if there are any special offers available.

Anyway, I was saying that the link tracker was also included in the emails that Viral Mail Profits prepared automatically for you.  That’s amazing! It  means that the average use  can start tracking their safelist mailing results without doing anything that they are not already doing!  That’s a massive feature AND time saver right off the top.

At first I was a bit negative about that feature.  I do my own custom tracking, and this didn’t seem to be a useful feature.  Later on, though,  I considered that I could put this on top of my personal tracking, and still benefit from seeing which versions of the email copy performed better or worse across ALL of the safelists.  That’s something which ha’s been difficult for me to do on my own.

At that point, I already knew that even for a pro like myself, this was going to be a useful tool!

But it got better.

There were also custom programs that I could add to the list and track without the system needing to “support” the safelists that I personally use.  That’s also a huge plus.

Finally, the cherry on top was the ad reminder system, that will email me every day that I can send a new email out and get it out on time, so as not to miss out on advertising that I’m paying (or clicking) for!

There are some extra built-in features too, but there really are so many that I can’t possibly cover them all here.  But I’m expecting to see a 250% increase in my safelist-generated profits really quickly.  We’ll see how it performs, but I’m pretty hyped over Viral Mail Profits!

I am very thankful to all of you, my faithful readers, twitter followers, mailinglist subscribers and downline members.

Without you, my online business would not exist, and I know that many many of you say the same about me.

I am thankful for the opportunity you guys have given me to learn from you, and with you. The opportunity you give me to better shape my own business by learning of yours and your needs. The opportunity you give me to meet new people, through yourselves. And, of course, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thankful for the commissions that you generate for me directly, and indirectly through your own hard work .

Next month (New Year’s time) I’ll go into the bit about how I hope we’ll grow together over the next year to build ourselves and outdo ourselves, but the truth is that between now and then is the hottest part of the civil year in many many markets – so I hope that in the short period of time before the end of next month, we use the time wisely to build our businesses and position ourselves for the new year.

I know I’ve got lots of big plans for the next month, and hope that you’ll all be a part of it.

So for those who celebrate it, have a happy and meaningful thanksgiving!

It’s that time of year again.  Jason James is (finally!) doing another Greedy Giveaway.  I wait breathlessly for this once-or-twice-a-year event because since the 2nd (I missed the first) they ALWAYS build a hot list for me.

They’re also dirt cheap, generous on commissions, and massive events (several thousand members each time)

Heck, I didn’t even know who Jason was until I signed up (without upgrading!) to the Greedy Giveaway 2 back in summer ’08 and saw an odd site giving me masses of signups and went back to see what the heck the greedygivaway.com site was – I’d forgotten that I was even a contributor, and hadn’t promoted AT ALL, and couldn’;t understand why I was getting 100 signups to my sites in a week.

The second time around I’d upgraded and promoted, and…  Well, suffice it to say that it paid off BIG TIME!

Want your few hundred subscribers?  Get started by signing up for free, here.

OH yeah, I almost forgot this insane twist that Jason’s added this time.  I personally think he’s a bit off his rocker, and he’s gonna LOSE money on this, so you might want to join and lock in the deal before he comes to his senses, but he’s giving $1 away for EVERY SINGLE active contributor you bring on board, on top of the normal commissions.

I don’t want to miss out on that – sign me up!

Oh yeah – one last thing is you’ve only got a week to get in before the contributors doors close for good, so don’t waste time!

See you on the inside (hopefully hundreds of subscribers “richer” ),

You know, it’s a good feeling when you can qualify a friend and business partner whom you highly respect, and they return the respect by qualifying you.

Paul Kinder‘s no exception.

Traffic Splash has been my number one referral for folks joining my personal mailing lists, which are the top of my marketing funnels, and is probably responsible for thousands of dollars of income for me over the past two years.

Thanks a lot for all you’ve done, Paul!

Sometimes, it really pays off to be in my downline…

Because I believe that to get, you must give. So I do give. Like just now, I had too many credits to burn at High Hits, so I gave away 16,755 credits. No strings attached. All to active surfers in my downline.

I also gave some of them access to some pretty special offers that I don’t give out to anyone from the general public.

And it wasn’t a one time thing, either. I regularly do this at lots of different traffic exchanges, and other multi-level programs (including many popular TEs) where my downline helps me.

If you’re serious about surfing or making money, and you’re in my downline at ANY program at all, and work hard there, you can trust me to back you up. That means credits and even CASH (Yes, I give that away from time to time too – quite often at SuccessQUIK, for example).

I can’t wait to give you YOUR slice of the pie!
