Brain Rooney has a video showing you the fastest

==================
Leaderboard
==================

Get one paid referral and you will be entered in
a draw where I will use the winner’s link to
sign up a referral in the New Year, And the first
person to get 2 paid referrals will get another
referral from me as well

jerryreeder 10 referrals 8 upgraded
edy57, 3 referrals 2 upgraded
joreeder 1 upgraded referral
adsncash Jason Wise 1 upgraded referral

* Note the referral contest was announced late
December 9th so only signups from December 10th on
count

That means only one of edy57’s referrals count, so
it’s wide open. Jason’s and Jody’s referrals
happened before the contest, so they do not count

And neither do mine

==========================
Downline Building Tips
==========================

One extremely powerful way to build your downline
is by using covert downline builders such as rebranded
e-books like the book you get at Jerry Iannucci’s
http://safelistmarketingtactics.com

Then you simply give the book away to your list

==========================
What to Expect From Me
==========================

I am rewriting my email series to promote Traffic
Wave and new programs that have changed the way I
market with traffic exchanges

I will also be creating squeeze pages to be used
in TE Toobox or with your own webhost

Then I will finish the generic email series
targeting network marketers and affiliates who do
not use traffic exchanges

You will be able to import these series for you
own use.

I will probably move Traffic Wave Report to
it’s own list

That’s it for this the first issue of the Traffic Wave
Report

We’ll talk soon,
Jerry Reeder

P.S. forward this email to your own referrals

My email today mentioned why I used Aweber to send an email instead of my Traffic Wave Account

But several people replied to me telling me to use Traffic Wave

Here is my reply

NAME, I know you want to build your Traffic Wave
downline. And now’s the time to do it. After all,
there is a lot  of buzz about Traffic wave right now.

That’s because me and a few friends started it,  This
what Brian Rooney, Owner of Traffic Wave, says about me
on his blog

http://emailmarketingdirect.com/big-names-switching-from-aweber-to-trafficwave-net/

We’ll talk soon
Jerry

P.S. You really should be cloaking your links. I suggest domain
names for your main programs and Phantom
Link Cloaker for everything else

http://twittertrafficvirus.com/likes/thephantom

P.P.S Did you know you can reach over 20,000 network
marketers who will love Traffic Wave’s comp plan at the
http://themlmadnetwork.com?

If you are anywhere in my downline, and you get 1 paid downline member to join under you, your  name will be entered in a draw for the next paid member I get after.

I will announce the winner on January second

Basically,  I will use your referral link when signing up people

And the first person to get two paid members will get a third paid member from me

All you have to do is get a paid Traffic Wave account and  tell your friends

But what a stir this caused on Net Marketing Forum, Lynne McCutcheon’s blog has outstanding coverage and Scott Douglas even referenced it on the OBA forum

Jon Olson explained his reasoning behind his decision on Ilovehits blog, Tim Linden did the same on his blog and I guess it’s my turn now

First of all, I did not make this decision lightly or in haste. Jerry Iannucci of Safelist Marketing Tactics and I have been talking on Skype about switching for a couple of weeks now.

For me there where several factors that warmed me up to the idea of using Traffic Wave.

First and foremost, is Brian Rooney. He is an active member of our community. He is deeply concerned about getting email delivered as evidenced by taking time to address the deliverability concerns, I and other marketers raised at net marketing forum.

He also espouses the same philosophy I and every other established marketer does when it comes affiliate marketing; Promote Yourself First and only promote affiliate links after you have gotten them on your list

And Aweber is getting more and more complex. All the features can be overwhelming to new marketers. And some of the new features I really didn’t to too much about because I had other solutions that did the same thing already in place

But there was one big thing that kept Jerry and I stuck in the just talking about it phase

Its going to take hours upon hours to modify all the pages I have in rotation, I have a new back office to learn. I have to set up my campaigns change variables

At the Affiliate Funnel Saturday Seminar, Jon Olson said, “don’t switch.” That’s good advice because it is a tremendous amount of work even with Brian graciously offering to have his support staff to do much of the work

Talk about service

He is what drove me forward, Jon signed up during Friday’s Traffic Exchange Live broadcast. Jon and I have hoisted a couple beers together and I could see his genuine excitement with the Traffic Wave back office. Jon isn’t a techy type of guy.

And that was push I needed to make the decision I wanted to make but wouldn’t because of the work involved

That’s exactly why I echo Jon’s advice, don’t switch if you are already entrenched with Aweber, there is just too much work to do

But the back office is a blast. It’s straight forward and very easy to navigate. I am really glad I made the change.

And I say to everybody not building their list yet, get Traffic Wave and start as soon as you can
