Here is an example of a good introductory post:

Hi! Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I have been interested in (your niche) for some time now, and just wanted to see if I could help out some here, and maybe ask a few questions, too.

I live in (your city or country) and I like to (your hobbies).

Hope I can be of some help here - drop me a line if you care.

That’s about all.

Then go to the other forums, using similar introductory posts.

4) The next day you should have several ‘welcome’ response posts. Go into each forum and personally answer each post to you.

5) The next day, you can begin to do some of the hard work. Go into each of the forums, and look for questions that have been recently asked, especially some that have not been answered yet by anyone. Choose 5 questions per forum, and answer the question for them. If you don’t know the answer to something - find it out, and then give them the answer. Do not answer more than 5 per day per forum - you do not want to appear to be spamming, just genuinely helpful.

6) Every day, log on and go to each of the forums, looking for new posts to answer questions in. After some period of time, people will begin to feel like you are experienced in your niche (and after researching and answering all those questions, you probably are more experienced than you were when you began!). They will begin to ask you questions specifically. They will begin to check out your web site. They will begin to subscribe to your newsletters and email lists.

The new people that come into the forum will see that you have many of the answers to people’s questions; they will see that you have many informative posts and will naturally assume that you know what you are talking about.

The key for you is to be diligent, attempting to post daily. You have to be patient, as the traffic will not come right away. But once the traffic comes, it will be strong traffic - it will tend to be highly responsive traffic. You will have built a relationship with the people in the forums, and they will see you as an ‘expert’ in your field, and will be much more likely to be responsive on your email list or to your sales pages than colder traffic.

It goes without saying that if you fall ill, you go to a health care professional who will give you a looking over and recommend medication. You then go to the pharmacy to have the prescriptions filled. You try to follow the label instructions and hope to get cured. Quite often, you will eventually make another trip to see the health care professional and he will prescribe a severe cure. This is basically how the health care establishment works these days, a never ending cycle of trips to the health care professional and the pharmacy.

If someone were to recommend that you used herbal remedies to cure a lot of your problems you might think they were foolish. For a long time medical science has been involved in an effort to mock the use of herbal remedies to achieve health and healing. In recent years many studies have been done to test whether there are any benefits to what is referred to as herbal remedies.

Herbal remedies are now, often looked upon as being a lost art. It is simply the use of herbal remedies, or phytotherapy, and traditional methods to aid in healing and overall good health. Unorthodox Medicine and other natural forms of Herbal Remedies have been used by every region in the world and long before the appearance of modern cure. Even today herbal remedies is widely used in countries like China and Korea. Unorthodox Medicine are often better than man-made medicine and rarely ever have side effects.

In ancient times shamans and medicine men performed the duties of a doctor. They passed their knowledge of natural healing methods to the next generation by training apprentice to continue their work.

With the arrival of the so-called modern medicine, health care professionals began to favor man-made medicines over Unorthodox Medicine. Many of them did not realize that the medicines they were administering to their patients were often based upon compounds found in natural herbs. Medicines such as aspirin, digitalis, codeine and quinine were all derived from traditional medicine.

If you are considering the possibility of learning to use more natural methods to treat your problems it is important that you be made aware of the fact that not all so-called herbal remedies are what they claim to be. There are many companies promoting cure-all products that are designed to skyrocket into degeneracy, a person’s desire to decrease their dependency upon man-made drugs. For this reason it is highly recommended that you research and study a natural remedy before beginning its use or practice.

The effectiveness and safety of natural remedies is studied by many universities. The more research and studies that are carried out the more herbal remedies and natural treatments there are that are added to the catalog of accepted medicine. Of course, there are also some herbal remedies and treatments that are proven to be false.

Even though there are many herbal remedies available that have been well studied and documented, medical professionals will rarely recommend their use, but will instead dispense synthetic medicine. Remember that the big drug companies are getting rich selling man-made medicines. It is not in their best interest for people to become aware of natural medicines and to make use of them.

In many cases, Unorthodox Medicine should not be relied solely upon to treat your illnesses or conditions. In these cases you will want to supplement your medication with the use of herbs or other natural treatments. This will enable you to limit your faith on modern medicine and perhaps help you to avoid unwanted side effects.

Each of us reacts to situations differently, depending on his own temperament. Numerology can analyze your name and predict how you will respond to problems based on four basic categories: Mental, Physical, Emotional, and Intuitive. And to see how you work with problems when you don’t have all the facts, we need to calculate your Intuitive number.

Your Intuitive number is how you approach problems where you have to guess; decisions that arise where you don’t have all of the facts needed to solve a problem logically. Note that many problems have some elements of each category, but intuitive problems always involve an element of the unknown.

Calculating your Intuitive Number

Your Intuitive number is determined by counting the number of Intuitive letters in your use name, and then reducing the count by fadic addition. In Numerology, the following letters are classified as Intuitive letters: (C, F, K, Q, U, V, and Y).

As an example, actor Johnny Depp has an Intuitive temperament number of (1) as shown below.

Johnny Depp = (Y) + (0) = (1 + 0) = (1)

The following is a list of Intuitive numbers, and how you approach problems with each value.

Intuitive (0)

This value shows that you are not inclined to follow your intuition. You are not interested in the spiritual world or things occult. You find it difficult to deal with abstract ideas and concepts, and prefer the concrete reality of your physical senses.

Intuitive (1)

This value shows that you have good, creative instincts which can be relied upon. New and original ideas come to you in a flash out of thin air.

Intuitive (2)

This value shows that you are sensitive, spiritually aware, and may develop psychic abilities with little effort. You use your intuition easily and effortlessly. You may tend to hesitate in acting on your intuition.

Intuitive (3)

This value shows that you use your intuition in a creative way. You have a good imagination and a ‘gut’ feel for what is right artistically. You may be attracted towards rituals and ceremony.

Intuitive (4)

This value shows that you distrust the still, small voice within you, and prefer a purely logical train of thought. You tend to ignore your intuition. You will either be very orthodox in your religious beliefs or a complete agnostic.

Intuitive (5)

This value shows that you intuitively know how other people will react to things. You have good intuition, but tend to distrust it, requiring proof before you act.

Intuitive (6)

This value shows that you tend to trust other peoples word above your instincts. Otherwise, you keep a good balance between intuition and reason. You tend to want to meddle in the lives of others.

Intuitive (7)

This value shows that you are spiritually strong, with excellent intuition; which you then often ignore. You are skilled at seeing the needs of others. Learn to trust your instincts more.

Intuitive (8)

This value shows that you have strong intuition, particularly in the cause of helping others. You are able to mix the gifts of the world and the gifts of the spirit effectively and well.

Intuitive (9)

This value shows that you have very strong spiritual beliefs. You are attuned to your higher self and tend to have inspired dreams and visions. You need to learn to draw the line at what is practical in your life.

How many people just don’t believe that there is such a thing as “AD/HD”?

Usually, they blame bad parents with no disciplining skills for the hyperactivity. Some of them just say that teachers can’t control their classrooms anymore because there’s no longer corporal punishment. Others point to too much sugar in our diets as the culprit. Surely it’s sugar that makes AD/HD kids behave the way they do! In fact, all these things in combination are probably the root cause. Right?

Hogwash.

Oh, and you may have also heard the one about being dropped on your head as a baby or having some other jarring trauma to your skull causing your AD/HD. Yet, they can’t account for the fact that the majority of people with AD/HD cannot point to any injuries of this type at all.

What’s the deal?

Scientists have seen a decreased activity in regions of the brain that control attention and activity through PET (positron emission tomography) scans, and linked it to an inability to process glucose properly, but they have also studied the correlation between AD/HD and genetics. You didn’t have bad parents. Your teachers weren’t all spineless wimps, and your head probably never met concrete or any other immovable object.

Twenty-five to thirty-five percent of AD/HD people have parents with AD/HD. In the general population, only 4 to 6% of people with AD/HD developed it with no genetic correlation. Maybe it was a very distant ancestor that barely even shows up in their genes anymore. Who knows? You just got it, and you shouldn’t hate yourself for it. In fact, you should consider yourself fortunate. As I see it, AD/HD actually gives you an advantage. You’re just smarter, faster, and your brain may be the human brain’s next evolution. At least, that’s what some scientists think. You’re ahead of the game, not behind it.

Some AD/HD people find that medication helps them, though I personally don’t use it and I’m ADHD. Coming up with ADD-friendly systems helps me, as does knowing where I’m strong and where I’m weak. I have a great ability to come up with ideas and I use that to make my living. It works! You need to find out what you’re good at and exploit those areas of your personality.

Just don’t mope around thinking that AD/HD makes you “disabled.” You’re probably highly intelligent, and you have the ability to do many things at the same time. Plus, you’re probably very creative. Your exuberance for projects even tends to drive people around you because you’re just so inspired. You’re awesome and don’t even know it.

When you’re in grade school and all the kids think of you as “the boy who’s always getting punished” or the girl who “can’t sit still,” it’s very difficult to have a great self-image. And if you have adult AD/HD, you’re one of the lucky 15% that continue to have AD/HD for the rest of your life. If you don’t get to work on realizing what you’re good at, you probably have crappy relationships, problems at work, and spend a lot of money that you shouldn’t be spending. Whatever negative behaviors that AD/HD causes in you have to be addressed. You need to figure out how to cope with them so that you can move on and be a happier person. Find people that will support you, and they might be online or offline.

Other people who have AD/HD will understand what you’re going through because they’ve been there themselves. They may be able to give you a whole host of solutions that you’d never think of on your own. When there’s a good mix of people who have controlled their symptoms with others who are just learning to will help. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t also seek professional help and medication, if it’s right for you. But you need to feel better—about yourself and the whole world around you. Stop being down on yourself. It’s probably the worst thing you can do! Remember, you had nothing to do with AD/HD. You didn’t ask for it. It just found you. Work with it, and see how you can make it the best thing that ever happened in your life.

So how do you do it?

You have to do it slowly, recognizing that you are not going to get much traffic at first.

Follow these steps:

1) Create a list of all the forums that are related to your web site’s topic. To do this, go into the search engines, searching for your topic + forums. Search related terms + forums. In most cases, you should be able to find 10-20 useful forums to use.

2) Go into each of the forums and create an account. When you create your account, you should be able to create a posting signature - something with your name and web site address on it that will show each time one of your posts shows. Generally, you will have to set up a password and username, and they will send you a confirmation email. Because some of the confirmation emails do not come in right away, rather than jumping back and forth between each forum and your email, just sign up for all of them at one time. Then go back later and click all the confirmation links in all the emails that have come in.

3) Go back into the forums and post an ‘introductory post’ in the appropriate category. Most of the forums will have a category just for introductory posts, or it will be a general category.

For your introductory post, just give your name, tell a little about yourself, and a little bit of why you are on the site (you are on the site to learn and to share). Do not pitch your product or recommend anyone go to your site - you simply have to do this slow, building a relationship with these people - and you have to remember that they are people - not just electronic emails.

Forums

Forum advertising can be an effective form of driving traffic, although it does require some time - intensive work when you first get started with it.

So what is a forum?

A forum is an online interactive community where members can ask questions of each other, answer questions of each other, and provide help and resources to each other.

The list building/traffic element stems from the idea that generally if someone is using a forum, or even reading posts in the forum actively, they are somewhat interested in the topic, more so perhaps than a casual surfer or more general traffic. The forum user is specifically interested in the topic, and has enough interest to spend time setting up their forum account, and searching through the posts. This generally creates a more highly qualified visitor.

So how do you generate traffic via the forums?

Well, the basic premise is that in each of your forum posts you can generally include a link to your web site (or in your case, your squeeze page), or in some forums you can include a link to your web site or squeeze page in your forum signature.

Now, you cannot just simply jump into the forums and start posting your url all over the place - you will get banned from the forums for spamming. Plus, the forums are kind of like communities - or neighborhoods. The people in them tend to get to know each other, and they realize that some people have more expertise than others. If you just start blasting posts all over the place, no one will take you seriously, anyway.

When I removed the inside mold­ings around a window in our house, 1 found six old pennies. Since the house had once served as a kinder­garten, I supposed that playful kids had pushed the coins into the space, making a kind of time capsule for me to discover so many years later. It was fun to notice that one of the pennies was zinc, minted in the years of copper shortage of World War II suggest­ing a time for the kids’ game. The copper cents were greenish with age.

Then a thought occurred to me. I wondered if the Washington bu­reaucrats still counted the six cents as part of our national debt. Does every old house harbor hid­den pennies, hidden national debt.

There must be billions of hidden pennies, and it is possible that our national debt is far greater than admitted to us by our leaders.

The thought depressed me. After all, pennies are a product of the mechanical age. They were and still are the product of a relatively primitive technology: the minting machine. Even the fastest coinage press is limited in its production to the laws of mechanics, and can only make one coin with each stamping. Such laws held for and still rule the printing presses, which make our paper money.

My gloom deepened because I knew well that we have left the mechanical age and are now in the age of the electron and its familiar partner, the computer. Therefore, the units of debt are no longer pennies or dollars or any physical­ly expressible unit, which might actually be mechanically pro­duced. Rather, the true units of debt are tied to the ever-increasing speed of information transfer by electronic device. Expressed in nano-seconds, debt has become liability for electronic information
The flip side of this coin says that wealth is no longer expressed phys­ically, as it once was, in bars of gold. At this moment in time, wealth resides in the possession of Information, encoded in electronic form. The National Debt may therefore be assumed to be spread as electronic information in com­puters throughout the world. The information moves at an awesome rate. The owner of this dollar de­nominated information is the mod­ern parallel to the bondholder of more primitive times.

On the other hand, if kids could hide pennies in the mechanical age, can electronic in­formation he wandering around un­known to those who calculate the debt? Is it possible that, some­where in the computer-modem-sat­ellite network of information, there is an electronic pirate, who has the electronic age equivalent of great chests of pirate loot?
Even more sepulchral: If a counterfeiter, in the last stages of the mechanical age, sim­ply printed hundred dollar bills on his color Xerox, why couldn’t the counterfeiter of the electronic age merely hack Into the computers of the banking system and transfer dollars to his off-shore accounts?

So the final recipe for electronic terrorism becomes clear. The medium of terror is no longer the bomb. Terror now resides in the electron. In the future, wild-eyed terrorists will purchase Cray Re­search Mega Computers and spread disaster by hacking into the worldwide electronic net of infor­mation about money and injecting errors into the system. The Reign of Terror will not be symbolized by the guillotine, but by the mega-bite of false information about money.

I cannot expect those in the fed­eral bureaus to understand my concerns, and that is why I am writing this. I have become con­vinced that the major problem for the United States, and perhaps for the entire world, Is that we have an aging bureaucracy which does not comprehend the nature of the In­formation age and its impact on economic decisions at all levels.

One simple example will make my point. In the Federal Reserve System, decisions about the amount of money to create, elec­tronically, by simply adding digits to the consumable reserves in the computers of the banking system, are made on the basis of the “mon­ey supply” counted in several ways. But, as I have said, the count is seriously flawed, because much of the electronically encoded infor­mation about dollars is circulating in computers whose information is unavailable to the counters.

To stay with my metaphor of kids and pennies, many electrons are snoozing quietly in the Swiss Alps, on the placid islets of the Caribbean and in nooks and crannies far beyond the eyes of the Fed. When the central bank adds, re­serves based on its spurious count, we may confidently assume that a good bit of each addition joins the electrons already in hiding.
But, do our aging bureaucrats show signs of comprehending such huge changes? I do not think so.

Here is a test to put to all that work in government offices, which make financial decisions:

1. What is index arbitrage, when done in the foreign exchange markets?
2. How might one put on a butter­fly spread in Swiss Francs versus the dollar?
3. Is it legal for an American citizen to send a personal check to a foreign bank, which has no branch in the United States, and not report the transfer?
4. Name one form of hedge used by American grain exporters in which the cost of the hedge leaves this country.
5. What impact will the North American Free Trade Treaty have on the ability of the Vancouver Stock Exchange and Mexican Bolsa to sell direct, to American citizens, without registration?

Here is a bonus question for those who answer three of the above questions correctly:
6. What contribution to the costs of the American bureaucracies do foreign workers make, when their products are imported into the United States without tariffs?

What I have just shown you are some of the very rawest basics to writing effective ad copy. However, although the focus of this book is list building and not ad copy, the effectiveness of your ad copy will significantly alter your list building results.

With bad ad copy, your conversion rates on ads or squeeze pages might be really low - and with good ad copy, they can be really high. In fact, the spread can be so great that with bad ad copy, you will operate only losing campaigns, but with good ad copy, you might be in profit.

If I am writing a full page solo ad, I am probably going to use a formula similar to what I just used for the sponsor or position example. It might be a little longer, since I have more room to work, but that is not a necessity.

Do not be fooled into thinking that the longer the ad copy, the better it performs. You simply have to test each traffic source with different ad copy lengths and determine which works best for you, your website, and your products.

The bottom line is, you are going to have to test. You do not know what works for you, for your niche, until you test. You have to test, you have to track. Just about everything I do well online is because I track my results, and then I can adjust. There is no other way to do it - you are not going to make great guesses every time.

A blind man from birth accepted the blindness as permanent and spent his life begging for help. Likewise lame, slow learners, allergic, dumb, deaf,and every birth defected one are living it as a forever condition.

Recently my mindset was changed hopefully forever to accept the terminology ‘yesterday, today,and forever’, to only apply to Jesus Christ.

I was reading the book of John located in the Holy Bible. In the ninth chapter the question was asked ‘who has sinned,this man or his parents’?

King James Version (KJV)
[A Public Domain Bible] [KJV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]

John 9
1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

4I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

6When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

7And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

8The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

Jesus healed a blind man even though the man was born that way in order to manifest the works of God. Since I believe Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever I will also believe that birth defects of any fashion whether a part be missing or broken can be healed and manifest as a work of God who created us in the first place.

Lose 20 Pounds in 30 Days Quickly and Easily - And Keep it Off Forever - Lifetime Guaranteed!

Mary was only 30 pounds overweight, and had tried repeatedly to lose weight. She would successfully lose 10 - 20 pounds, and then it would get really difficult. The weight just would not come off. And it seemed to her she was always hungry. So would start eating again - and the weight would come right back.

Mary had gone through this cycle repeatedly - and was becoming increasingly frustrated.

Then she found my special system for melting away up to 30 pounds or more quickly and easily - and this time she lost the weight, and has kept it off for over 2 years now. Mary couldn’t be happier.

I have recently completed a free ebook detailing the steps Mary took to finally lose her weight and keep it off.

In my free ebook download:

–Discover the secrets to losing 20 pounds in 30 days, quickly and easily

At this point, I simply want to remind you that I am in no sense an accomplished copywriter. I am a list builder and an article marketer - those are my specialties. But it is my sincere belief that if I am going to succeed online (and as you know, I make well over the national income average, 100% online), I have to be able to write decent ad copy. So I have studied ad copy - and you should too.
