I have a question - any suggestions?

I have not posted for a few days. I have been working on a project and am still not done.

So, I am asking for opinions and maybe guidance. Any ideas here????

First, Wealthy Affiliates seems to recommend or insist we use natural traffic. We work on drawing people to our sites using keywords in our posts - then linking our content to all the social media sites. We need to create Facebook , Twitter, Goggle+, Pinterest, etc. But - I had accounts there already – personnel ones - or - as with google + and Gmail – it is linked to a site and account already in place – it is attached to a poorly built site from before my starting at WA. That site is not in my newly chosen niches. So. I have accounts that are not useful unless you know how to change them. And they are not cooperating in my being able to convert them to useful business ones.


I have no clue how to change it all to the proper business type accounts to be useful to what I am doing now. So - I need to change them and cannot find training or info to do so. Does anyone have suggestions?

But - the real reason for this post is to ask you for input. I need your opinion as to what I am attempting to do. And - how successful you feel it might be?

I want to create a method to speed up site visits. Speed up creating a huge following and capture large numbers of email followers. Create a huge and useful email list of targeted emails placed in files according to the people’s interests. Use a survey to capture the email addresses and isolate or separate the people and their emails into files according to those interests.


Then I will use those files of common interest to create an email series - then market to their interests. Use targeted posts/emails to keep their interest. Create posts or content to further their interest. Send an email 3 times a week to these people and keep them involved. And - offer products that might interest them and entice them to buy something.

The source of a huge email list is created using a Contest Giveaway Site by using a Facebook Page. The tests of this method have already demonstrated a method to create thousands and thousands of views to the Facebook Page using a few dollars of advertising to begin the Facebook Page. Then people register to win and provide their email.

The Facebook Page encourages visitors to register for a chance to win a contest. People register for a chance to win something – a vacation – a product – something useful to your particular niche – Whatever you like. You pay a few dollars to place the ads on Facebook and targeted to your market but only for the the first few weeks – you always encourage people to Like-Share–Comment as well as register to win. This "like" and "share" keep the views to the Facebook Page coming. Your visitor is effectively advertising to all their "Facebook Friends" for you by using the like-share and comment buttons on your site It builds and builds..

You use a survey form for them to register. You then acquire their interests. You then email to the people - remind the people to continue to go back to the Facebook Page to see what is new and ask them to continue to LIKE_SHARE_COMMENT. Then your outgoing emails also contain information about their survey question interests and ask them to return to the Facebook page.

There is more to this. It takes work to get it implemented – but I have watched someone get up to 5.3 million views in one day to his site. I have watched him accumulate tens of thousands of email addresses. He then uses an Autoresponder to send his emails to market the contest as well as other products. His uses AdSense and other ads on his thank you letter and his other email offers. After a few weeks of minimal paid Facebook ads – the AdSense clicks pay for it all and make him money just from that. And the mailing lists continues to grow.

So - I need training on Survey Building and software – Autoresponse software and it’s use- Companies like survey monkey – getresponse – zapier – buildredirects – or whatever anyone is using and finds the most useful. Also, the best affiliate programs or AdSense or its equivalent to use within this program.


Lots for me to learn to begin – I have a Facebook Page begun – I have people looking into the software or the plugs-in's we need. But - I want advice or suggestions.

I am just wondering if anyone is doing this already. I have watched it work and see the results. I am just not techy enough to put it all together.

Apparently, I also cannot put my sites out there for evaluation as it conflicts with WA standards of operation. I need opinions – I am not trying to sell you guys on the process. I am going to do this – just asking for help and ideas.

This may not be the slow and steady method of Wealthy Affiliates. This method may not be the traditional way. But - if is would build a huge usable email list to market our ideas and products and affiliate programs too - it sure seems useful to me. I intend to make it work - any ideas. if you can help or offer suggestions....I am open to them.

Great beginning but sorry I dont have a clue on how to help you .This is my first at internet ads still learning .Check me back in probably next two months I will have some answers then.Mean while all the best.Dont give up.

thank you for the encouragement - hope to have this up and running in a few days.

You've come along way Dave! Congratulations! Becky :)

still not ready to launch but getting closer. thanks for watching I appreciate it.

No problem and anytime! I know everything takes time! But to produce something fantastic requires time! Good luck! Becky :)

Sounds interesting- the premise seems good. I'm interested to see how it plays out but, not being much of a "techie ", I can't offer much advice.

well I am getting close and I am not techy at all - trying to get some friends to help me. Hope to launch this in a few days.

Hello, Dave. This post has obviously taken you a LONG time to put together. I have just scanned it. I will get back to you when I have collated the information. It reads rather interesting.

Janice.

I am working on it daily and long hours - hope to ;launch soon.

Here's where you change your personal pinterest account to a business one. https://business.pinterest.com/en/set-up-your-account OR you may want to have 2 separate accounts (1 business, 1 personal.

thank you - hope this helps _ I tried to change it to business - but ended up without the controls shown in the training

Pinterest help is very helpful with situations like getting a personal changed to a business. Reach out to them.

Seems very interesting and worthy of an evaluation. I see you are doing your homework.. I am sure with your passion and determination it will come together...

I am hard at work on it - but the techy part is not simple for me to get into operation - the Facebook page and .com site are sitting there. Hope to get it up and running in a few days.

Hi Dave,do you use the community notice board on face book to post/generate traffic

no - it seemed that we were not supposed to promote anything outside WA - some people have contacted me privately - but what I have is not quite ready yet. soon I hope - I am running out of savings - I committed to doing this and have turned down job offers to do this - if I don't solve it shortly - I will have to go back - my work usually required 50 and more hours a week - that leaves little time to do this. So I am pushing forward.

You can always try doing a business email for each of the social medias and start fresh or change the information in existing accounts under profile to delete the old stuff and set up the new. I changed my profile a few times through the years but it is possible to delete the old and bring in the new. If you're in doubt how to do that there are a lot of tutorials on youtube that will walk you through as well. I hope this helps...good luck and best wishes!!

I am trying to get my step son to do that part - but he is a kid and has lots of other interests - but I am working on it - and - yes I may need to delete the old and start with new. thk you for the input and encouragement - sometimes encouragement goes a long ways.

Maybe I misunderstood but are the contests you plan on promoting are fake and just used for promotion and attaining emails lists?

No - the contest is legit and will give away a vacation every 6 months or less once it gets going - my first site was legitorascam.com - it looks at various programs in areas that interest me.

The contest site(s) are built on afloridavacationgvieaway.com/home and also a Facebook page - They are not ready yet. But shortly I hope.

I do write about contests on the legit site along with other programs and products.

I watched someone else build huge email lists to use to market -using this type of contest program. Hopefully I will be ready to go this week.

I see you also are rather new here. Here are 3 WA;ers training posts that might help you get or keep going - there is lots to learn and sometimes it is confusing - I am getting confused still but on the next level of learning. Stay at it - this will work once you get it. It just takes lots of learning and hours of work.


dave

Thanks for clarifying everything is confusing at this point. Thanks for links I'll take a look

Best of luck

its still confusing me - too much to learn and I am trying to accelerate it. Just stay at it.

Thanks for sharing.

I hope to have this up and running later this week and see how it works - thank for reading it.
