Social Media, Getting Others to "Share" Your Links Fast and Pratically Free

Traffic and visitors are the lifeblood of your web site, bog or affiliate program you already know that. What's just as important is social media interaction.

You might think simply tweeting your link on Twitter, posting information to your Facebook, or pinning images at Pinterest related to your site or blog content would do it. You know, people will happen upon your information and automatically share it with others because... it's just so amazing. The truth is most tweets are not retweeted, Facebook posts are not shared, and images aren't always repinned on Pinterst.

So what do you do? Tweet more, post more or pin more, no not really. There's an easier way and we use it for the benefit of the member's of our Lotto Magic team. They receive the benefit of free social media traffic and visitors and we pay practically nothing for it. Before I tell you how you can receive many "real" retweets, posts and repins from real people on real social media sites to real people...

I have to ask if one (1) retweet, post or repin is worth 1/2 a penny to YOU, yep I'm talking half a cent here. If your answer is yes then I recommend you do what we already do, especially if you're already social media marketing via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Stumble Upon, Google+, YouTube, MySpace, SoundCloud, Reverberation and more.

Grab your share of social media traffic FREE in the next few minutes:

1. Go to the Independent Business Owner Exchange & sign up for 100% free.
2. Earn retweets, posts, repins by interacting and exchanging with others.
3. Receive bonus's for following, liking, posting, watching video's and more.
4. Publish you tweets, posts, repins, video's and much more.
5. Finally, you can thank me later by naming your first born son after me, Bob. :-)

Paid for advertising for your long term online business success.

Advertisers... they're the ones that get your web site or blog seen, noticed and they're the ones that drive traffic - your way.

In some cases (depending on the Webmaster) you can trade links, products or services for your advertising, however for the long term and for uninterrupted (hands off) targeted visitors you'll need to fork over some green and actually pay for your advertising.

Over the years (since 2005) here on the Lotto Magic Team we've worked with many great advertisers, some inexpensive, some not so inexpensive but all gave us the results we wanted for the money we paid. We've used bloggers to write articles about our team, have paid for text ads and have used banners in different sizes and on various platforms whether rotating ad sites, static index pages, ad bidding or network ads. You can see where our current teams ads are running at the team marketing site.

It's going on nine (9) years since we joined Lotto Magic and began advertising. We'd like to thank those companies, web sites and blogs that have worked closely with us as our advertising partners over all these years who have gotten the word out for us and have helped us grow and prosper as one of the longest and most successful Lotto Magic teams around. In appreciation we've posted links to them along with some descriptions of what products or services they provide at their web sites.

People Ferret - Free people search, people finder and people locator. Find out who called through our reverse cell and land line phone reverse search, research federal and state public records free, or locate a lost military buddy. Includes a large government resource section, map area & death database.

Affiliate Company List - Two senior citizens David and Margie, show you how to earn from your web site. Learn (free) how you can earn a consistent, passive and hands off online income. Included are links to free hosting companies, free affiliate programs and free traffic generation.

Coffee Fair - A large listing of online coffee companies that give away free coffee samples, plus there's free coffee recipes, coffee facts, humor, and video. Grab your FREE Starbucks coffee recipe e-book while there, it's 53 detailed pages of coffee recipes for the coffee you've come to know & love.

These are some of the most authentic million dollar bills ever printed and include unique seals, original looking emblems, numbers, realistic money colors and many more authentic looking "money" markings. Even the size is the exact size of real U.S. money!

We appreciate the help from our advertisers, and we thank you for the many years we've worked together online, and we look forward to working closely with you for many more years to come!

Are you advertising your business? Well you should be.

This post is dedicated to four Lotto Magic Team Leaders: 
Joseph Prokopchak 
Rosie Armstrong 
Dale Stokes 
Joseph Gerace

You might already know that customers, clients and others will NOT automatically find you just because you have a great product or service.

Sure, you can use social media, it's free and it does work given some effort, skill and time. The bottom line is that it takes both work "and" time on your part to get the word out there to the masses via free social media marketing methods.

Is there another way? Yep, advertising...

If you have a home business it takes more then just telling others to join you, sometimes it takes an investment of money (yep, pull out some green) through good old fashioned advertising. Whether your advertising is broadly dispersed to the winds or it's targeted to a specific niche market, the fact that you're investing in advertising is one of the first steps to building your business (whatever it is) bigger.

When you combine your paid for advertising with social media, viral marketing video's and any other types of offline or online marketing it's only then that you cover all bases. With that you get the most visibility where it really matters... in front of the eyes of potential and future customers, clients and more.

What brought on this particular blog subject and post? A traffic and visitor check on the free mini marketing sites we give each and every member on our team. It started out as a simple review of site traffic, yet what it turned up was four (4) team members "investing" their money into their personal Lotto Magic home business through online advertising.

Here's a screenshot of the stats counter data that got us thinking about this post (click to super size):

 

That's a total of 2578 page views (2392 unique) visitors to the free team marketing for a 7 day period starting on Thurs. Oct. 24 through Thurs. Oct 31st, or an average of 368 page views per day. Not all of it was generated by four "top" marketing team members, however a portion of it was.

So who are the "big dogs" willing to invest in their home business, their team and their future?

Team Leaders: Joseph Prokopchak, Rosie Armstrong, Dale Stokes and Joseph Gerace.

I recommend you visit them, ask questions if you have any, then join them on the team!

Free Advertising and Marketing Boost - Google Adsense.

We've added an additional income stream to the free team advertising, all of it benefits YOU and your down line team directly...

You might already know about Google Adsense, you know... sign up, place a small snippet of code on your web site or blog then Google serves up ads that are related to the content on your page.

Well we've been running Lotto Magic related video's for the team for a while now, plus this blog itself is an added component to the overall team marketing and training (social media) plan. However neither has contained Google ads until just recently. Our thought was that there is a ton of visibility to the team video's whether linked or embedded, plus we have social media related infographics and posts here at the blog, all of which IS content which CAN be monetized. What does that mean to you and your team? It means that the profits from these Google ads are rolled into additional free Lotto Magic advertising for you and your Lotto Magic team.

What started out as a simple Google ads test has now become something that will be with the Lotto Magic Team for years to come, helping you and your team grow, yea, free team generated targeted visitors. A while back we decided to add "social media marketing" to this blog to help current team members and it turns out that are thousands of other people finding us on the search engines and through word of mouth, so it's good for them (information) and it's good for you too.

So what are the team income results from the Google ads to date? First, I know, I know it's not thousands but it doesn't need to be, it just needs to be additional funds for even more free team ads (likely at Facebook). At this early stage we are averaging only $17 a day (approx. $510 per month) between YouTube and this blog. Not a huge amount by any means, but again it adds to the current team monthly advertising budget so it's still good news regardless.

An update on this team project will follow later as an add-on to this post, we're expanding the team Twitter account so this will increase the team's blog visibility at the same time!

Lotto Magic Free Team Advertising - Is YOUR Upline Really Helping You?

We've been team building since 2005 which is a very long time to be focused on one MLM company especially these days where we've seen network marketing companies launch as fast as others have closed their doors. At the same time we've seen other Lotto Magic teams come and go over the years, many because the upline was focused solely on building "wide" on their first level. Along the way they forgot that "building deep" below others on the team is one of the most important (and proven) strategies for the long term success of the team as a whole.

Yea, you won't earn as much when members join below the first level but then you have to decide... do I want to earn $120 for that member (Mega Captain) for a couple months? Or would I prefer to earn $8 from that member for many years. And that is the long term formula for success, help those on your team grow their team so they earn an income, period.

At the same time and in order to be a complete success with any type of team building it takes thousands of dollars in advertising and focused marketing to get noticed in the vast ocean called the Internet. That's what we've been doing for the team since 2005... rolling team commissions back into team advertising, we just couldn't afford spending all this money for the team otherwise, not so sure anyone could for any length of time.

So, we don't just say we're advertising, we show you where we're advertising Lotto Magic whether as banners on actual web sites and blogs, or through social networks such as Facebook. And we show you what our marketing and SEO efforts have resulted in. Blind faith is fine, however we don't believe you should be put in that position, it's our responsibility to prove to you that we are advertising for you just as we say we are.

Regardless of the program you're in and it doesn't matter whether it's an affiliate program, network marketing or MLM program... if your upline says "join me, we advertise for you free" then it's in your best interest to ask them... "Where is it exactly that you advertise?". If they cannot show you, then they aren't.

For our team you do not need to ask, just click, go and see for yourself. Click the screenshot above for more on what we do for you and your team - free.

What I like about Lotto Magic - Toddy Boy Lottery Consulting

I have always been interested in the Lottery, especially the Powerball which I've played for years. When I found the Lotto Magic team it didn't take me too long to realize they're about team building.

What caught my eye and what I personally like the best of everything is the fact that they are about building deep in the team for the benefit of the team, me included. I discovered that before I ever joined, clicked on a join link and knew that I had to join a team member that joined the team earlier, so I knew others would have to join me too, I liked that part the best.

 

I don't mind marketing at all and I do, but a little extra help from my up line team (rare these days) is a welcome thing for me "and" for those that have already joined me on my team. They are also in the free team URL rotator so they receive free visitors and sign-ups. Another thing I like about this system and team is that I know they are advertising for the team which is completely free to us, and I can go the team site and see exactly what they're doing for us so I like that they don't just say they're advertising and marketing for the benefit of the entire team, I can see it happening with my own eyes!

New Team Ad - Earn a Fulltime Income From Home

We've designed a new series of large ads for this months team build projects. These focus on the "Home Business" market which is important because there are thousands of people looking for a real (not a scammy fast cash money moving) way to earn some extra income form home, usually part time as they continue to work at their regular jobs.

Somewhere, someplace and somehow we fully expect people will see many of "your" team adds, want more information and then visit your site to join you.

What I like about Lotto Magic - Ad Network

I have been impressed with their consistent teamwork since I started running ads for Whitney & team starting back in 2007. In those days I was just an advertiser for them and over the last 6 years I've processed many thousands of dollars per year in Lotto Magic text and banner ads placed for the team.

I have worked with many publishers and have watched them come and go, they'll start their home business, place some ads then we never hear from them again and this is even after email ad deals, bonuses and discounts are offered.

So I like Lotto Magic because I've seen first hand what they do for the team and I've seen them do exactly what they say they'll do. I have never been involved in any type of MLM or home business before but knew if I was ever going to give it a try it would be with the Lotto Magic company and this team.

One last thing is I did feel the URL team rotating system combined with the paid team ads would be a bonus for the people that joined me. Not everyone places ads so having a URL team rotator where my team receives free visitors and sign-ups was what finally sold me on the idea.

I started thinking about it a couple years ago but didn't join until just recently and I'm glad I did.

Business Card Marketing to Build Your Business? Yes, if you do it the right way.

In these days of instant communication and instant information we sometimes forget that generating interest and business can be as simple as a little ol' piece of paper. Yes I'm talking about the ubiquitous business card. In days gone by, the business card was handed out like candy on Halloween. There were even special card holders so you could file them away for later reference, binder albums with plastic inserts or if you were like most you might have simply thrown them in a drawer - to be sorted out later, uh huh.

 
Today they're still used although the current trend is to have them "scanned" into your computer by special software so you can access them electronically on your computer or smart phone in mere nano seconds. Type in a persons name or company name and there it is in all its digital glory. Delete, rearrange, search or sort, you decide.

Most recently we received a business card we especially liked. It had all the components of a mini web site which is what initially caught our attention. I'm sure you've seen the old school business cards with the standard "This is my Company, here's my name, this is my title, you can contact me this way". OK fine that works, it's boring, but it gives your contact information... Is that enough in these competitive times of ours, can you say even more, can you sell what you offer better and ultimately get a clearer message to your reader in the few seconds that you have, and can YOU stand out from the others? Yes you can if you think outside the box, use some imagination and think "sales" and not just "contact".

Here's the front of the card we received. Contact information check, information that makes us want to read more, learn more and do much more after we receive it... double check!

 

The back of the card lists additional benefits & makes clear where the reader needs to go for more info:

So the moral of this marketing story is... if you're going to spend your time & money to have your business cards designed, created and printed, then give your reader a card they'll remember, a card that will sell for you and a card that will make YOU stand out from the "ho-hum, straight and narrow, inside the box" business card crowd!

What is Affiliate Marketing, and How to Get Started with Affiliate Programs.

The short description for an Affiliate Marketer is... the middleman. Walmart is the middleman between the manufacturer/supplier and you. Your realtor is the middleman between the buyer and seller. The Girl scout with the cookies, she's the middlegirl between the cookie supplier and you the customer. And along the way the middleman gets something... Walmart makes a profit, the Realtor earns a commission and the girlscout, well I'm sure there's a cool looking Girl scout badge in there somewhere for her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Before we get too far along we'd like to welcome Ashley Wright and Joshua Wright to Lotto Magic and our power team of marketers. You can visit them and learn more at their free Lotto Magic team site (Team Free Lotto Magic) today, yea then join them and grab YOUR free team site and free targeted visitors too!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, back at it...

The point I'm making is that being an Affiliate Marketer is no different, it's really about being the middleman, nothing more. Your job is to get the word out to the public about a product or service, then you earn a commission for it.

Unlike direct customer sales which are for the most part "active" selling, an Affiliate only needs to place a link or banner on his or her blog or website, then walk away. Passive selling takes place when a visitor visits the blog or site, clicks on a link or banner then makes a purchase. All this while you're cutting the grass, watching TV, or reading this post!

There's much more to being an affiliate marketer, but we sure can't cover it all here. You can read more (no registration or email address is required) about Affiliate Programs and learn step by step what you need to do in order to properly monetize your blog or web site.

Online Lotto Magic team newspaper - on the blog!

We've added another interesting page to the team blog. Now you can view the most current edition of the team newspaper without leaving the blog. Hey, you don't want to leave do you?

The Lotto Magic Team News - Free Online Newspaper

 There's a page link in the navigation menu to the right... click and go!

What are the benefits of those Facebook likes?

We've all heard people say "like" my Facebook page. Go ahead and raise your hand if you're one of them and if you are it's perfectly OK (we are too). There are also companies that market and sell "likes" and Facebook itself will help you get more "likes" if you want them. It's not entirely a popularity contest though some view the "likes" on their page as a badge of approval or acceptance. It's actually much deeper then that and it has to do with increasing your brand awareness while increasing visitors to your Facebook page at the same time.

See what Facebook has to say about the value of a liker, then come back here for the rest of the story.

Ahem, so take a little break from this most intense post, click the like image above, go to our page and you know... "like" us. :-)

So likes are valuable and go far beyond a number you can be proud of on your page. Those "likers" are the ones that will spread your brand far and wide, sure, yea even while you're sleeping. Besides learning about the value of those people that are liking your page, Facebook also has a like help page so you have a better understanding of what exactly likes are, how to use them, and how they benefit you or your company.

Are we using this information for the benefit of the team, you betcha. Most recently we began our team "like" campaign there at Facebook, it's brand new and we're just testing the waters however we'll provide an update on this post once the ad runs its course and we have some juicy data for you.

For starters our current likes as of this post is 947, built up over a period of 5 months from when the team Facebook page was upgraded from personal to business (and had to be rebuilt from scratch). As a test ad the financial investment is very small (under $100) and the total ad run time is a mere 10 days, however if the "likes" prove beneficial to the team then it's just a matter of renewing the ad or creating a new ad (less then 3 minutes). OK, so here's the team ad we're running at Facebook now to include the targeted audience that we want to "like" us...

Click to visit the Lotto Magic team Facebook page

And here's where the stats will be placed after the ad has run for those 10 days: [DATA TO BE PLACED HERE LATER]

So now you know what to do and why you want to do it, and you also know what we're doing for the team. How about what you should or should not do?

Sure, yea, do this, simple and to the point

But avoid making a page like this

Lotto Magic Team Advertising on Facebook!

First of all thanks to all current team members and also thanks to the team member's that have joined the team recently. It really is YOU that generates the team income which can then be rolled back into advertising and marketing for the direct benefit of you and your team - it is appreciated!

With team growth (and additional income) we can expand into other marketing platforms to grow your team even bigger and better but more importantly 100% free for you and your team. We have expanded the team advertising to Facebook, yea the Grandaddy of them all and it's working out great after only a week of testing, mainly because the ads can be highly targeted to those interested in lotto pools or the lottery itself.

For more on what's happening with this team marketing project you can check out the updates added to the free team ads page there at the team site - click the image below to view.

Lotto Magic Team Advertising on Facebook

Note: There was an SEO company hired last month to "tweak" the team images shown to the masses through Google images, you can read more about that further down on the free team advertising page. Then go to Google images to see what they did for us, it's nice and was well worth the investment.

Have a nice Sunday and remember to hug your children!

Update on Free Lotto Magic Advertising & Ads

Glad you that wrote liked the display ads. They have been sent to the publishers, some to be in print early May as mentioned in an earlier post. There also some that will run for a year (probably mentioned that too) and still others where the publication of the ads will be spaced out so there's some overlap but more importantly constant coverage.

You can view many more of the Team's Lotto Magic related ads at the team news and update site. A new page was recently added as a single location to place these and future advertisements. Remember these are "your" ads since they drive traffic to the team marketing site and from there directly to your Lotto Magic marketing web site through the URL rotator. Here are the newest Lotto Magic display ads - enjoy!

1 inch Lotto Magic ad, reverse

2 inch Lotto Magic ad, cut title

2 inch Lotto Magic ad, curved

2 inch Lotto Magic ad, waved

3 inch Lotto Magic ad, reverse grab

3" Lotto Magic ad, double reverse

More soon, have a wonderful night wherever in the world you are,

You can view this major team building project at: Team Free Lotto Magic just understand that it is NOT in it's final stage. As I understand from Whitney there are 6 additional templates in the works for use by the Lotto Magic members there, privacy statement to add, "get a free page like this" intro page and then the vids I'm working on.

Thanks to Steve (you da man) for his input on the new URL rotator for TFLM, it works fine!
