What does your business and mine have in common?

Perhaps nothing...yet! But why not connect, network and receive free advertising?

The right traffic exchange ca help you do this. Especially one that is using the lattest TREX Script by VariSearch LLC and www.SurfForLocal.com (SFL) is such a service. I challange you to find a TREX that offers a bonafide external ad server that actualy has participating websites. Some even fake it by placing links on their "external listings' page that are either dead links or they are sites that have no ads placed. If you were to go to this page you will see that SFL does; http://surfforlocal.com/textblurbs.php?type=2

These websites target New England area music fans. If you have a information based website, blog or small business website you can also participate and help grow our advertising reach. You will recieve free advertising credits for our barter relationship. You will also receive a listing link on this page. If you refer SFL through this ad or otherwise and it results in a new paid member you will also be paid a commission. Paid members receive higher commission percentages. With this system it is possible to refer enough new paid members to actually pay for your paid membership. How cool is that? It is the ultimate in Free advertising. All I ask is that you at some point upgrade to a paid member to our "Honorary Annual Membership" at only $12.00 per year.

SFL excepts Paypal and is business verified.

Show off your CitiVille with a Blog!

This is a fun thing to do and it can do a number of things for you;

1. Show your citiville to other Facebook and non- FB friends!


2. Allows you to take suggestions on what to do next with your city.


3. Allows you to make money from ads on your blog and from upselling our Surf For Local *traffic exchange at http://www.surfforlocal.com/

* When I get 1o+ citiville blogs like yours on our surf network I'll create a surf category just for you!

Here are some ideas to help get you started with your blog;

• Set up a blog account @ http://blogger.com/


• Set up a Google account and/or a Google adsense account. The two work hand to hand (you'll see later).


• Name your page ie... "Greg Lacey's Citiville Blog"


• Use your "Snippet tool" to take snapshots of your blog. Take 4 or more snaps of equal dimensions and place them together using a photo editor to make one larger pic or just place them seperately. See below.


• Now write about your citiville. Make it interesting.


• Publish it and share it on FB!

Here is an example below of a citiville picture you can create by using your snippet tool and simply using your paint program. Take the snaps,save them to seperate files and then create one larger canvas. Paste the pics onto the canvas and align them. Or just place them seperately in your blogger. Notice if you click onto the pic below it will blow the picture up!

How to advance in SFL membership, and make money at little or no expense.

Members at Surf For Local (SFL) have several ways to promote their website but is there an opportunity to earn money here? Can you put that money torwards credit purchase or member level upgrades?

The answer to these two qeustions is "YES". You can earn money by referring SFL to other webmasters who become a paid member. Member's commision levels advance as they upgrade to higher levels. The money you earn as a SFL referral affiliate will allow you to purchase addtional credits, exclusive advertising and membership level upgrades. You can do this by using the "local cash" option. Alternativley, I can either pay you through Paypal or send you a check from my Company (Eccentric Musician Company).

SFL has 6 membership levels with various comission levels;

1. Free 30 day Initiation/trial membership Referrals earn 0%
2. Free Membership Referrals earn 7%
3. Honorary Membership Referrals earn 12%
4. Pro Networker Membership Referrals earn 25%
5. Traffic Exchange Consultant Referrals earn 37%

* Note that the example above a fairly generalized as a member you can refer a prospect to any of the paid membership levels so it is very likey that your sales would a combination of various SFL offers.

Once your at the top, As you can see you can make a decent commission level @ 47% on your referrals so why not try? I understand that our membership levels are more expensive than other traffic exchanges. In my opinion most do not have a long term business plan and a shared marketing strategy. At SFL you have an opportunity to earn money, promote your websites and websites of your peers for a price. SFL offers a generous commission level so this is a great opportunity.

Starting high; There is an advantage of just buying into a paid membership level right way regarding SFL referrals. If you purchase a paid membership level, your commissions will be higher and each referral will get you closer to breaking Free for each month you sustain that level. I suggest you start at "Honorary Membership" because when you upgrade from "Honorary" you will receive a rebate. If you do upgrade and then decide to go back you will go back to honorary rather than to free so long as your within you annual memberhsip term.

SFL Memberships that offer an extended opportunity;

Traffic Exchange Consultant & SFL TrEX Agency Memberships

These members have the option to receive a specialized splash page that allows them to sell their URL ad space as service. You are the advertising consultant and your clients are webmasters who do not have the time or know how to manage thier advertising on a traffic exchange. They find you and you offer them one of three or more Tr-Ex advertising service packages and you keep 100 % of the profits. You also will have the ability to upsell our credit packages to you clients and receive a commision for your efforts because at this membership level your credit purchases are offered at a discount. Again you sell at our retail rate and you keep the rest. This is an awesome opportunity to earn extra cash while you continue to promote your own affiliate sites.

For our affilate marketing members at these levels who do not wish to upsell SFL services you can still take advantage of these additional advertising slots you have available to you. Simply use these ad slots to either reward your high performers or give a boost to your low producing affiliates. You could also use the slots to influence your affiliate downline members to join SFL by giving them extra credits on your account if they join. If they do then you now have them as a downline on SFL as well and you increase your chances on earning a income if they become a paid member. COOL! What is even more cool is that with our internal member to member email system you can offer your program to other members, you can email your downline with SFL updates and your extended credit offers. WAY COOL!
