If you missed my interview of Mr. X yesterday, you missed a good one. Not a hype filled infomercial, but good solid information to incorporate into the economic engine for your business. Listen In Now

Here are the high lights:

Your internet strategy needs 3 components.

  1. Money or main site(s) tooled for a specific purpose.
  2. Satellite sites that have road signs pointing back to your money site(s).
  3. Get involved in communities connecting you and your satellite sites to the world.

Overall the internet is a huge 1 billion user community. Inside this community are specific niches that you care about, where you are an expert, where your passion meets your expertise. No matter what you love and what you’re into there is a site, blog or on-line community that already exists where you can meet and connect with like minded people.

I can not think of anything better than doing business with like minded people with whom I share common interests. It makes life fun and easy.

Some Interesting Stuff:

  • A good email list is 100,000 to 1,000,000 (double opt-in)
  • A better list is a list of people that are buyers – they buy your stuff
  • Many gurus are high tech and not high touch – not showing personal interest in others… (I’m guilty of this – email is too easy)
  • A natural result of the economy is people will be looking for ways to make additional income.
  • People will be looking to create and establish multiple streams of income.
  • Joint Ventures (JVs) are excellent ways to sell your product, service and build your list.

I currently maintain 3 blogs for personal branding and to promote my money sites. I did this to do see haow it all worked and to learn what it takes to get web traffic and a high search engine placement. It takes 3 to 4 hours a day to keep me at number 11 or 12 when you search Google for “Terry Hall”. I occasionally jump to number 4 or 5. (I was ranked about 155 when I started this project).

“Terry Hall” has a “kei” (kei is an index of internet competition for a word or phrase typed into a search engine) of 0.01 anything over 20.00 is good – I’m not going to change my name so I am stuck with working with what I’ve got… There is a rock star in the UK also named Terry Hall and he gets tons of press and fan activity.

The next step is to implement Mr. X’s web traffic system to bump me up to number 1. It’s worked for his other clients and test sites since November of last year. If you want to know how it works, visit http://TheBestWholesaleTrafficSystem.com it cool stuff and will educate you about how to get traffic to your website and high search engine placement.

Warmly,

Today we look at what I feel is one of the most incredible opportunities you may have to promote your business through your website. I grew up in the Southern United States. Growing up in the South was a very interesting thing.

See Rock City – Old School Marketing That Still Works


Before all the freeways, there were mainly two lane roads some of them even had pavement (big smile) while some of them were more like 1-1/2 lanes. Regardless of where you found yourself wandering on the roads of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia Tennessee, every now and then you come across these words painted on the oddest things. You would see the phrase “See Rock City” painted on just about anything, a car, a building, a rock, a barn, the roof of a barn or a rock wall. No matter where you were in the South, occasionally you would run across a “See Rock City” sign.

Rock City is located in Chattanooga Tennessee. Now, imagine going through Chattanooga. Do you think parents had any choice but to take us to see Rock City! No! They were compelled to take us or deal with two screaming little brats. We want to see Rock City! We want to see Rock City! We want to see Rock City!

The point I want to make is that the Internet has opportunities for you to create your own “See Rock City” road signs, to create awareness, to create mystery about your site.

The road signs work by taking a set keywords, say “San Diego Real Estate” and pointing those keywords just like a road sign (a link) and point them back to your Real Estate Website.

If you’re not in real estate don’t worry these road signs work for everyone, so be limitless in you thinking about key words that describe your business. Think about the words and phrases that your ideal customer is thinking about (and typing into Google), then we take these key words and we paint your signs. These signs could be videos, Blog articles, Blog comments. And the information could be yours or someone else’s, but points to your Website. Then we paint a sign and point it back to your website.

Here’s the cool part. Imagine having 270 of these customized signs added to the Information Superhighway (as it used to be called) and all pointing back your website. Signs that people see on their journey to their destination, wherever they’re going they are looking for information to make their lives easier, they search the internet looking for information that helps them, that makes their life easier, that solves their problems and eases their pain…. And you’re right there with your solution.

Each of these journeys starts by typing words into Google or Yahoo or any of the other search engines out there. The great thing is that it is possible to have your signs posted on the Internet automatically where your perspective client is going, you’ll be there.

This is the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen. As some of you know I’m a Seminar Junkie. I’ve been to all kinds of seminars and the best one about making money on the internet was by my friend Mick Moore – “The Internet Entrepreneur” Seminar. That seminar along with his home study program called “The Home Business Success Kit” work. I highly recommend it. I’ve been studying them for about a year now and what I like about this new product is that it takes much of what Mick tells us to do and automatically does it for us.

But here’s the thing you’ve got to understand not only do you have to be able to point to road signs to your site but you’ve also got to have a website that is appealing and attractive that serves specific purpose. Your Website has to deliver on that purpose and give people a really good reason to come back – that’s your job.

We can take this new product and we can point this information all these road signs to your website, then you can really have enough traffic or a enough individual visitors to your website that we can fine tune and hone your website to give your customers, your ideal customer exactly what they want, which then allows them the opportunity to choose to do business with you.

That’s why I’m so excited about this new system. To find out about the new system you want to go to www.TerrySHall.com and you’ll see a link that says VIP Invitation. That link will show you what to do to get the information you need to find out about this new program, this new system that points 270 new and unique road signs your website every month for life that’s a good deal.

This is Terry Hall – The Small Business Prophet wishing you fun and success out there Designing and Living Your Life of Spiritual Freedom.

Oh, I almost forgot… To find out how you can get 270 “See Rock City” signs pointing to your Website each month and every month… Interested? www.thebestwholesaletrafficsystem.com.
