My last post was about Global Traffic Matrix (I’ll refer to them as GTM from here). When I thought about it it dawned on me that if you’re like me you will have been exposed to what seem very similar opportunities in the past that ultimately fail.

And even though I mentioned that I thought this would be different you really had nothing to help you come to that view yourself. So, I’m going to take a little time and explain in my own words what ‘I hear’ when I am reviewing this opportunity. As these are my own thoughts they will hopefully be down to earth and easy to understand especially for those who are starting out trying to find a source of additional income.

I will probably miss some things or put my own interpretation upon them but my aim is not to mislead or misinform.

So, what is GTM all about? In short it’s all about providing TRAFFIC to online service or retail providers.

If you have purchased anything online you will appreciate that you are part of the traffic that is being enticed to make a purchase. For those who have a reliance on online commerce the need to maintain high traffic levels is crucial so where the opportunity exists to increase your traffic then that would be of great interest.

GTM has recognised that there is a real opportunity to capitalise on this need for high traffic by creating a system that funnels interested buyers onto the websites of merchants.

The company has recognised that Affiliate Marketing is an ideal vehicle for targetting provision of traffic. Affiliate Marketing works by companies appointing affiliates to sell products on their behalf. They reward the affiliates by giving them a portion of the item purchase price. GTM appreciate that by providing traffic to affiliate sites there will be opportunity for all.

So what does that mean for you as an individual? In essence if you join GTM you will be working to create your own list of potential purchasers that will help affiliates be successful.

How do you start? The first thing you should do is listen to the overview here and that will provide some introductory information. Being honest here the video is somewhat typical of MLM opportunities and makes big promises so I’d recommend that you view it in a realistic manner, it is a marketing tool and should be watched with that in mind.

Next, sign up on the page and you will then be able to review more information about the plan. Given the structure of GTM there is no getting away from the fact that to make this business work for yourself you will need to be active and be prepared to recruit others. If, like me, the thought of recruiting others sends you into a cold sweat because of past failures then not all is lost.

If you are prepared to make a spend of $29.95 then you can join the enrolment co-op that will provide you with potential leads for you to follow up on. There is also a $99.95 package (which I purchased) that provides even more leads so this is an easy way to get started without having to bother friends and family. I should mention that the leads you get will be interested in GTM as they have already requested information so they won’t just be random names from a broker list.

If you are lucky enough to already have a list or know some people who would be interested then I’d recommend you go to them directly as this could be a fast track way into the business.

Please note that August 31 is a crucial deadline for the enrolment process so please act straightaway by signing up for free. You should also listen to the Recorded Conference call on 1-218-339-3699 PIN 553560# to learn more.

I’ll end this post here and in the next one I’ll delve a little deeper into just how everything will work.

One of the greatest obstacles that people face when trying to start an online business is getting traffic to their website. This is not anything you probably don’t know already, the problem is what you do about it.

Well, it looks as though you may be able to get help without it breaking the bank. I should say that I’m not a great lover of websites that hype things up to the max without actually delivering so my recommendation for Global Traffic Matrix (GTM) is based on the real potential that I see. In August they are aiming to sign up 250,000 people and you could take advantage of that fact by acting quickly.

As a result of a joint venture between Global Traffic Matrix and Giblink you have the opportunity to both get traffic to your website and create a realistic income on an ongoing basis.

To be honest when I first saw the information about GTM I was fairly lukewarm and didn’t take too much interest. The thing that changed my mind was a communication from someone that I have a lot of time and respect for and they were extolling the virtues of GTM and how it is a great opportunity.

So what’s it all about? Simply put it’s a way for people to get a significant flow of traffic to see what products they have on offer. This may be a product or service of your own or an affiliate scheme that you belong to. And, it is even for those people who currently have nothing to promote as there is a service that will provide ads on your behalf.

There isn’t room in this post to go in to all the details of GTM so rather than me waste time repeating things I’d recommend you have a look at the opportunity page. Let me just say that there will be costs involved. To join the recommended co-op for sign-ups will cost either $25.95 or $99.95 (the more you pay the greater number of people are potential members for you).

Once the service is fully launched there is a $149.95 annual fee and ad packs that cost $25 a month.

I know any expenditure at the moment may hurt but if you consider what you want to achieve in the future then an investment now could pay off handsomely.

It must be about three months now since I purchased a copy of Surefire Trader and since then quite a bit has happened. As inevitably happens when I purchase a new system (or so it seems) the performance of the system fell below what was originally anticipated and I thought I’d be reaching once more for my refund request email.

However, the system admin readily acknowledged the poor performance without any prompting from clients and made it clear that he would be looking to find ways to overcome the problems. This response was somewhat unusual and for me somewhat heartening as we weren’t going to be left to our own devices to try and sort things out.

So, I decided to hold off on the refund request and see how things developed. Very quickly a variation of the Surefire Trader system was sent to all clients with a view to increasing the system success. As previously the system author sent out regular emails updating people on the performance he was achieving.

Even with the alternative strategy it was still felt that results were less than optimum so the owner kept issuing updates as to what else he and his team were doing to improve things.

As it turns out all the effort has produced a spreadsheet that helps to identify the market sentiment and hence which way to trade and also clearer guidelines on when trading should be undertaken. The new information has been tested over the results of several months and the author of Surefire Trading is confident that by applying these new guidelines clients will be profitable going forward.

Unfortunately Surefire Trader is not available at the moment but if you go to the site you will have an opportunity to provide your name and email address so that when it becomes available again you can take advantage.

There are not many systems that provide such a good service as this one so I would recommend you signing up now in order to be notified when it becomes available again. There is a 30 day money back guarantee (which is honoured) so you can try it to see if it suits your own circumstances.

In previous posts I’ve mentioned that HCI25 are not the most efficient communicators in the world, in fact they seem to operate in something of a vacuum and every now and again popping above the parapet to make a short update.

True to form the latest news is pithy to say the least, however there is an important piece about the number of policies remaining to be sold in their Reverse Pension Plan (RPP). Having carried out a review of all policies sold and removing any that they feel are suspect they now have only just over 400 policies left to sell before the program is closed.

If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for something to happen then now may be a good time to buy.

For those who haven’t heard of HCI25 before then you need to take a look to learn more. You can purchase a maximum of 15 policies person at $45 each. For this you will receive in the region of $78,000 per policy. Please note that Swiss, German or Italian are not eligible to take part.

You can buy policies using Liberty Reserve or c-gold. Please make sure you read all the terms and conditions closely so that you understand everything about things work before you buy as there is no refund policy.

There are other investment plans available at HCI25 and they do have a track record of paying out.
