I did This A Little Over 3 Yrs Ago, but I thnink it may still help you if you use rocketresponder and are and upgraded member at :

I am not a user of rocketresponder any more but, it is a very good service.
You can very easily create a capture page in minutes with these 2 programs.
I am using Traffic Wave these days, but i wanted to help those out that may not use traffic wave.

Keep in Mind That This Is An Older Video Tutorial I Made....Tim Has Most Likely Changed Some things since.
I truly hope it helps you though.

Have A Great Friday!!!

Do you have a check list of things you need or want to get done?
I know I do....For me though it can be over whelming at times because I have put a lot on my plate intentionally.
I have 4 sites that I am focused On. 2 are blogs and 1 is a mailer and the other a membership site.
I push myself hard because that's the only way I know how to function. But I will admit I find myself not being able to stay focused on the task at hand. See I am Adult ADHD, plus Bi-polar Manic Depressive, So I tend to run around all day multi-tasking and working on 8-9 things all at once....oh wait I just thought of a new Idea....oh wait what was I working on, oh yeah this new blog post over here but wait I need to send out this e-mail ad oh wait....I can use this idea to help promote Traffic Wave Oh wait I forgot what I was going to do!!
Did You get a little lost.....I do all the time. So to help me remedy that issue I went and bought a dry erase board to help me stay focused.
I have been told by my family and friends to do so before....but I am stubborn and did not want to admit that my illnesses require me to have a checklist so I can keep my focus where it needs to be.
The next thing I have started doing is keeping a notepad and a pen next to my computers, so that when I come up with an Idea or a to-do item, I can write it down.
On my white board I have created a daily to-do list. It's huge but I guess I have adopted my former employers view about my work load I am placing on myself. My former employer would always start the day of with a meeting and then he would hand us out a to-do list, My best friend worked with me and was in charge of our crew, Donnie(my friend) would always get stressed out because the list would always be so big. One day My boss sat him down because he was upset that those list were so big.
Jim( our boss) said that he made those list so big to:

• Allow us to see what we needed to get done and in what order, that way we could keep on schedule with our customer base (we did asphalt maintenance and paving) at least somewhat, cause things do happen.


• Next he said that as we completed the items on that big list checking them off as we went, he hoped it helped us feel good about how our day was going. His thinking was visually seeing your progress would help his workers feel like they were getting some where. Thus giving us a sense of pride for all that we had accomplished so far.


• The last reason was to help us have a starting point for the next day. What ever we were unable to get to that day would just rollover to the next giving us a starting point, and Jim would just add on to it. This would allow us to organize our tools and equipment,as well as get ready anything we could for the job(task) we would be starting our next day off with.

Jim told Donnie that his intention was not to over whelm us, but it was to give us direction, so then that would allow us to organize our selves and equipment the way we needed to so that we could make the best of our time each day. His intent was not for us to get 100% of it done in one day...he knew that was not possible. He also hoped that as we checked it off that we would feel good about it cause he knew the work was hard and out.
That's how I have been running my life lately, I have too.
My checklist allows me to stay focused more, it helps me see all I was able to get done that day and it let's me have a place to start the next day. I also include the name and e-mail of each and every team member I have on My Traffic Wave team I am building,I have the name and e-mail of every person on my list on this board as well. See that's one of my to-do's each day...I am trying to memorize at least their names so I know whom they are with out having to look it up(after all it's my job to know them).
The take away I hope you get from this post is that putting a lot of work on yourself is good, if you start to feel over whelmed just look at your checklist of to-do's and I bet you'll feel a bit of relief from seeing all you have got done, and you'll know where you need to start as well as how to get organized for the task at hand.

Have A Great Monday!!! Peace and Love To Yas!!!

I just wanted to let yas all know that I will no longer be using "Steemit" yeah the Jon Olson Steemit site he is always raving about.
I was on there yesterday and I saw a post that was about how post on a blockchain are being censored!! On a blockchain!!!
I thought surely that's not the case.....
I was badly mistaken, my post from here that I wrote yesterday and then shared on my Bi-polar Marketing site which shared it there 8 hrs later was removed!!! No explanation nothing nadda!!!
A blockchain is not I repeat A blockchain is not supposed allow censorship!!!!
I have removed my steempress plug-in for my wordpress site and I am now in power down mode by this time next month all my sttem will be converted back to ethereum or litecoin or bitcoincash but I will no longer be holding or promoting or endorsing steemit in anyway shape or form!!!
Blockchains are not supposed to be censored, and most definitely not in this way!!

I Am A Lurker And That's Not Good For Business

Over the weekend I sat in on an
Affiliate Funnel Webinar. The topic was about the importance of building your relationships on-line, especially in this particular community of marketers.
For me personally, I find it challenging because I tend to get lost sending out e-mails, surfing ads or creating ads.
I usually keep my skype on in the background....but I will be honest, I am also a freak for efficiency, so on top of getting lost in the surfing and such, a part of me can't help but think of the time I will spend trying to type out conversations that is lost along with the advertising credits.
Marci Jones-Fritz made some really valid points during her webinar:

• Until You Brand Your Self and Business, you need to be making connections with other like minded persons in this community so you can build trust.


• Building relationships in this community can lead to you finding the help you need when you need it much quicker.


• When you are building your E-mail List, do not stop at just getting them to subscribe, reach out to them let them know you are there for them, offer to help them as much as you can. Send them E-mails on the regular, what ever that maybe every week, daily, bi-weekly etc..That way they
  
  
  1. Expect your E-mails
  
  
  2. You are keeping your relationship active with them by doing so.
  
  
  
  
• Actively communicating with others will build trust in you as a person, because you are allowing folks to get to know you.
  

Do you lurk? Cause I do but that does not mean that I do not pay attention to the conversations, it just means that I need to break a bad habit and learn to communicate with folks on-line more.
It's weird...I think any ways, that I have so much of a problem with talking to folks in the chats on-line or making sure that I am sending e-mails to my list to keep them active and build my relationships with them.
If I were to meet each and everyone of you off line in a factory or a construction site, the truck stop etc... I would be talking your head off before long...LOL
So befor I end this post today I would like to let yas all know that My skype is : patricksimpson652
My facebook is : patrick.simpson.355

And My Twitter is @ziggy2get69

So if you too are a lurker and want to break the habit with me....let's connect and I will try my best to pretend that we are on the production line!!

Million Mile Secrets Wants Their Link On My Site

Million Mile Secrets reached out to me around 15 days ago wanting me to consider adding a link for their site for a post they did about using bitcoin to pay for your travel expenses.
Rather than edit my existing post, I decided to write a little review and since their content was really well written and was bitcoin related....I gave them a link in my side bar!
They did a great job listing the reasons that it could be advantageous to use bitcoin, they also did a great job listing the con's.
For me when a publication gets a hold of little ol' me wanting to link to my site....it is very flattering and rewarding. It makes me feel as though I am getting something right.
So the least I can do is offer them a review. If it is really well written and fits into the demographic I am trying to relate too, then yes I will include a link that stands out on every page.
I have had several sites in the past....but this year has had to be one of the best years!! This is the 3rd major publication(site), to reach out to me since July wanting to link up with me because of one of my post!!

Very Cool!!!
I just had to share!!
Any Ways Peace and Love To Yas!!
Have A Great Day!!

Let Me Pay Your 1st Month!!

I am staring to build my Traffic Wave Downline-Team.
To do it I will be using a system that they have put in place called "The Matrix Buster System".

So If Your Sitting On The Fence and Money Is Tight This X-Mas.....

The Matrix Buster system works by allowing you to help your downline members to start growing their business with an extra 30 days because they can start out with the 30 day trial then you are paying for their 1st month as well!!
Giving them a full 60 days before they have to pay out of pocket for their own!!
Now they have to agree to do the same as well, should they want to be included on the "Fast Track Bonus".
The Fast Track Bonus allows you to recoup your cost out of pocket faster....thus allowing you to basically break even on your 1st 3 direct referrals that you upgrade.
Then you simply help them do the same while you find another 3....etc....

I WILL BE OFFING THIS TO 3 PERSONS EACH MONTH FROM NOW ON.....SO WHAT ARE YA WAITING ON? LET'S BUILD OUR LIST AND INCOME TOGETHER!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

For More Info...Just Say:

PAY MY WAY IN PAT!!

Pumpkin Pie Is By Far My Favorite

It's that time of year again, when most men are talking about football or hunting.
Me though, I am not into watching football, I would rather play. I am not into hunting, it makes no sense to me why I must pay attention to the gender of the deer....I mean really!!! I am not going to wait in a tree stand all day long out in the cold and wet(possibly wet), just to see a deer that I can't shoot and put on my plate because it's the wrong sex!!!!

That my friends is why I am a computer geek and love to play guitar, with both I get to enjoy the fruits of my labor plus release that urge to be dominate.
There are some, mostly women( I would think) that are at this moment complaining about all the calories that they are going to regret and have to go nuts at the gym.
Those are the ones that are not going to like me too much this week.....LOL!! I am only 50 and I can still eat all those sweets without having to worry about putting on the un-wanted pounds....LOL!!
My family will tell you I love my pumpkin pie!!
I cut my 1st one up last night! I prefer pumpkin pie over even turkey!!
I love pumpkin pie so much that my family always makes sure that I have my very own, all mine, all to myself and no one else.....mine!!!!
Don't get me wrong I am gonna have some turkey, deviled eggs, mashed tators and rolls etc...

BUT I ALREADY HAVE MY PUMPKIN PIES !!!!!!!! YESSS!!!!

What's your favorite food at Thanksgiving? Let me know in the comments.....Peace and Love to you and Yours!! Have an Awesome Monday!!!

Nov 20th 2018 at 5:39 AM by Klara Schmidtz Hahaha! I am a sucker for pie too. 🥧 I always make them 2 x the size because I know I will want it, haha!

I Have been busy lately, which means....

This past week...well the last 3 weeks have been busy for me. I am still working on getting fully back into my main house that I left set empty all of last year.
This week looks as though it will be much the same as the previous 3.
That means that I am not able to market as much in the TE's. I will not be able to work on my blogs as much as I would Like to as well.
I will be able to send out E-mails though!!

Use Safelist And Viral Mailers To Help You Maximize Your Time

As I said, I am busy getting my main house together. My previous experience has taught me that using safelist and viral mailers gets results...period!!
Over this weekend alone I sent out 5-6 solos, and roughly 20k e-mails, my results=3 new subscribers and 2 new referrals.
I am unable to get those kinda results using TE's alone. Te's are great for getting traffic to your site or squeeze/splash pages but.......if your new to a community, you most likely will not get any results, not until folks get to know ya a bit.
With safelist and Viral Mailers, folks kinda have to sit there and check out your ads so they can mail too.
That means that if they are interested in what you are offering they can just open another window and complete the steps they need to complete...all the while the timer in the other window is still running down. They are not being inconvenienced as much as they would be while surfing sites in the TE's, since most TE timers are below 10 sec.
I have noticed that although most of the safelist and viral mailers I use have less then 10-15 sec. timers, I tend to get results from sending e-mails for the same ads I am running in the TE's...all I get from the TE's is traffic.
The TE's for me right now are just a way to allow folks to get familiar with who I am and what I am offing....until folks do I know that 9 times outta 10 they are not going to interrupt their surfing to truly check out my offers or even my site....they for sure are not going to subscribe to my list from a TE.
At least in my experience until folks are familiar with me they do not join or subscribe from TE's. Once they are used to seeing my ads and are adjusted to my particular, shall we say flavor of advertising, then I will start to see results from TE's just as easily as I do when I send E-mails....I know I will cause I have done this before, I know how this works.
If your strapped for time send out e-mails, you should include safelist and viral mailers in your advertising plan anyways. Use the TE's to brand yourself and network with others. As time goes by and you are consistent then getting results in the TE's comes just as easily....at least that has been my experience.

ANY WAYS HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!! PEACE AND LOVE TO YAS!!

Have You Noticed Whom Really Is Willing To Be Helpful?

Hello again!! I hope that you enjoyed your weekend and find your self refreshed and focused this week!!
I want to touch on a subject that everyone of us have faced at one point or another in this type of marketing business....Whom is really wiling to help or be helpful, and whom is just saying it.

I found these TE's and Viral Mailers back in 2010, during that time frame I found a group of site owners that seemed to be my answer...right? Sound familiar?
Just about a week ago, one of those site owners announced that the company that so many have come to know and learn from...even earn from until PayPal shut them off too, like so many others, was dis-banding. He said that he was keeping the biggest part of the sites involved and too be looking forward to some much needed changes!! I hope it comes to be that he does indeed revamp CTP (I was not going to mention it but....I need to for a point of reference)!!
But I must say I have been supportive because of how easy it is to reach this person and to get a response from him. With that being said....I am also seeing his focus is not on CTP at all, now he may have Blain or whom ever in the background taking of things...can't really tell though. I wish the luck but I have lost faith.
For years I have came and went from this community, for years I have seen the Affiliate Funnel ads, I have seen Tony Tezak all over the place. But I will admit it was not until recently that I decided to take a leap of faith and join Affililiate Funnel(I honestly thought that I had already...LOL), butthat only came about because of me attending the webinars they have for their members of Affiliate funnel and The Know Guys/ The Membership Script.
I had not set in on one since some time in June...but 3 weeks ago I did, they helped me tweak a capture page, which is doing well too, and Brenda Boyles sent some of us that were there an invite to the LFM skype group link.
I am a lurker, in life and on-line, I like to sit back and watch folks and get to know them from a distance before approaching them.
I am seeing and experiencing community involvement like I have never ever saw at any time over the last few yrs!!
I've found a couple of TE's that are very active lately(Hungry 4 Hits and Hit's and List Cafe), I honestly was both surprised and very pleased...I upgraded! See other than Traffic Swirl, I have found that most TE chat's are dead no one even says hi and if you ya do then it's hours before any one else says anything.
I am finding that these groups of marketers and site owners are around and ready to help or just shoot the crap any time of the day!!

THAT MY FRIENDS IS PRICELESS!!!

The person I was eluding to from CTP is Jon Olson....although I am confused about the direction he is going and where CTP stands, he has been a big help to me just because he is always available and responsive to his messages, but I have noticed that those whom he is surrounding himself with, as was the case with TimTech, are not/ or are they willing to be so available. Yet they preach that they are!!
With the LFM and Affiliate Funnel group, what I am seeing is a group of owners and veteran marketers that are very active and helpful, but most of them are focused, not on money but building relationships and personal branding. You have 20-30 owners/marketers that are always there lurking themselves...they ain't fooling me....I have been set to invisible mode for 4 days now!! LOL!! I used to think that only Sweeva(yes I know It's dead advertising these days) was the place to find such activity and help!!
What I am trying to point out is that if you want to grow on-line and find true help then you need to find the group's and/or person's that are on-line and reachable....meaning that if you send them an msg on skype or discord or FB or......if they do not answer you with-in 12-24hrs then they are not very active and are most likely full of BS!!
For example...I had upgraded my Viral Commando Profits this past weekend, while collecting my extras for doing so I entered a promo code at Viral Taco Traffic that downgraded my account there, right?
So I send Mari Jones-Fritz a support ticket. I figured It was a little late so I would not hear back until the next morning sometime.....less than 2 minutes later it was fixed and she sent me an e-mail letting me know!!!

THAT MY FRIENDS IS PRICELESS!!!

Creating Ads That Are Short And Sweet

Today I made sure to attend Affiliate Funnel's "The Know How Guys" webinar.
My gut was telling me not to miss it, and I am glad I did at least have it open in the back ground.
I am painting the living room and my computer room, so I was having to multi-task.
I kinda felt like the discussion was meant for me. I have a bad habit of creating ads that have too much info or to much visual stuff going on. I also have a bad habit of not being clear about what it is I want my potential customer/subscriber to do!

What Did I learn Today?

I learned that I need to not be myself as much when creating my ads....why?

1. I tend to ramble and it finds it way into my ad copy. So I need to make myself not ramble so to speak in my ad copy.


2. I tend to ad to much visually to my ads, so I need to cut back so that my ads do not seem so confusing to the end user.


3. I may need to change the way I am trying to brand myself, because I may be coming off the wrong way and therefore sending the wrong message to my potential customers/subscribers.

That last tip I got is a hard one for me....I do take everything I do to heart, when I am told that I need to let people get to know me , trust me and to build relationships with them...well I am going to do as I have my whole life. I am going to be honest, I am going to admit that I am Bi-Polar and ADHD. I am going to let you know exactly whom I am. I do not know how not to.
At the end of the day I am attempting to build an income on-line just like everyone else in this community. I hope people will give me a chance to get to know me and trust me...as I will you.
If I am causing persons to shy away from me because I am being me....well then that is just the way it is going to be!!
That last tip is just not going to work for me...I am outspoken, I am loud and boisterous....I am quiet and loving too. My ads will always reflect those things, I can't help it I am me.

Peace and Love To Yas!! Let me know what yas think and let's become friends here on Hungry 4 Hits!! Have A Great Weekend!!!!

Designing A New Capture Page And Looking Forward To Thanksgiving

I hope you had a safe and Happy Halloween!!
This morning I am starting to work on new capture page for this month to ad to the ones I am running now.

I am building a capture page that is going to be thanksgiving themed. I am stuck because I have several animated gif's I can use.....I am having a hard time choosing, LOL!!

These Are The Guide Line I Am Trying to Follow, Which Are Making My Decision Hard

• I need to make sure that my design does not require the end user (the potential subscriber), does not have to scroll. I only want them to sit there and read and follow thru before the timer goes down.


• I need to use graphics that are eye catching but not to busy or to many colors. That's a problem for me because I like to create backgrounds that are very bright and colorful, then ad in some fixed or animated gif's in the foreground.


• I need to edit the code for my capture box that I get from Traffic Wave Auto Responderso that is does not look like everyone elses


• Lastly, and most important, I need to get my message across without it sounding so much like me, meaning I can't let it contain info that is not necessary for them to know at that point. I am the kinda person that is quite at first but when you get to know me I tend to ramble on a lot and bounce from subject quite a bit. I recently learned that my ads seem to have more info than needed, causing my message to be unclear...hence me actually rambling in my ads, LOL!!

What Are Your Guide Lines For Creating A Capture Page

That's my new guide lines I am trying to follow. Up until a couple of weeks ago I really did not stop to think about as much as I had thought.
I remembered to attend a webinar fromAffiliate Funnel, I am glad I did. They were showing off their designs and getting advice from each other...and the over whelming consensus was that my designs were too busy and my message was unclear. One of my designs required the end user to have to scroll just to get to my capture form.
I ended up changing one of my capture pages, implementing their suggestions, and the other I ma redesigning period.
The one I made changes to, keeping it in rotation, it has since gotten me 14 new subscribers since!
So how do you decide what to include or not, how do you create your tag line?
Please Let me Know!!! Here Is one of the gif's I am for sure going to include:

Until Next Post Peace And Love To Yas!!

Nov 8th 2018 at 8:59 AM by Caroline Kish Hiya, Patrick. Just a quick thought about capture pages. I alway make sure I mention the visitor before me and make sure they know I understand their problems PLUS a really good solution. Far too many online folk start with the word 'I can' or 'I will', etc, putting themselves first. With focus on customer needs all that's left to do is to convince customers that they can Know, Like & Trust YOUR ability to do the tasks that the customer is paying you for.

Dec 21st 2018 at 6:15 AM by Mary De This is late I know.. I used to always have a heading .. auto start video ..autoresponder .. not too much wording .. that came from Jon Olson started a huge discussion on FB about auto start video or no
