Is Traffic Geyser Better Than Easy Push Button Traffic?

Anthony Herrod — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 19:46:11 +0000

Note: This is based on the script of a video of the same name. The video is located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7nVzJbgUBQ&autoplay=1

Being an affiliate of both Traffic Geyser and Easy Push Button Traffic, I will try not to show a bias towards either product. However, I do plan to show the facts of Traffic Geyser vs. the facts of Easy Push Button Traffic.

Traffic Geyser is a media distribution service. It uploads audio and video files to dozens of audio, video and social networking websites. The steps are:

1. The user uploads the desired video to Traffic Geyser.
2. Traffic Geyser then posts the file to 15 video hosting sites.
3. The service then posts the corresponding links from each hosting site to several social bookmarking sites
4. Traffic Geyser posts the video on social networking sites.
5. The video is then posted to various blogs designated by the user.
6. Traffic Geyser creates an audio file from the video
7. The audio is posted to several podcast directories.
8. The corresponding links of the audio file are posted with the social bookmarking sites from Step 3.
9. Traffic Geyser posts the audio to the social networking sites from Step 4.

As you can see, the result of the Traffic Geyser distribution is a massive amount of links to the user’s content. The search engines usually index these links very quickly, resulting in high rankings on search result pages and a corresponding increase in website traffic. It is this link generation that makes Traffic Geyser so powerful. At $47US per month, it is a bargain.

One disadvantage of Traffic Geyser is the fact that the number of distributions is limited. There are different levels of memberships available; each level is restricted to a certain number of submissions per month.

Easy Push Button Traffic is also a media distribution service. In many respects, it is a scaled down version of Traffic Geyser. Its steps are:

1. The user uploads the desired video
2. Easy Push Button Traffic then posts the video to several video hosting sites.
3. If the user wants to post an audio file, it must be created manually and uploaded to Easy Push Button Traffic, just like the video.

There is no social bookmarking, posting to social networks and blogs involved. But the user does have the ability to distribute articles and press releases, unlike Traffic Geyser. They too must be created separately and uploaded, just like the video.

Additionally, there are no limits on the number of submissions! At $27US per month, it is a steal.

A disadvantage of Easy Push Button Traffic is that there is no social media integration. It submits, and only submits.

So which one is better, Traffic Geyser or Easy Push Button Traffic? First, let me say that they are both outstanding products. The time saved by using either one of these products is a great boon to the user.

If a person is totally new to marketing with video, Easy Push Button Traffic is the way to go. The same is true if a person is planning on using articles and/or press releases or if a person has a limited budget.

If the person is comfortable with video marketing and can afford it, I recommend Traffic Geyser.

3 Mistakes You Must Avoid When Starting A Membership Site

Anthony Herrod — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 17:56:04 +0000

The communication opportunities afforded by a membership site is one of the biggest reasons that joining a membership site is so popular today and probably will be popular for a long time to come. People want to hear but they also want to be heard. They want to learn but they have information to share with others as well. A membership site provides a place for the sharing of ideas and information.

Back during the days of Web 1.0 the concept of a membership site did not exist. Now there were people who had blogs. Theses old blogs were basically on-line journals that could be read by those who were invited to read them but the reader could not post to the blog. Boy! Has that ever changed!

Today you can not only read blogs but you can post to them provided that you are a member of the website. And, what do people discuss on a membership site? The simple answer is anything and everything! The pros and cons of every subject imaginable are debated. And people love it!

Now let’s talk about the advantage of actually owning a membership site. The main reason can be summed up in just two beautiful words; recurring income. Every single month the very same people pay you. You don’t have to sell them anything, they’re already sold.

A membership site can make in ton of money! For example; if you have a membership site that charges $29.95 per month that means that over the course of one year you will make $359.40 from EACH MEMBER and with NO additional overhead expenses.

But the membership site must be set up properly. Unfortunately, many marketers make three critical mistakes:

1) The membership site is complicated – navigation for the user is confusing. Or, content delivery is time-consuming. Note: A blog is an excellent platform for a membership site. Blogs are designed to have members and contain the infrastructure to support them, so they are a natural fit.

2) The membership site has poor content – the site does not provide unique, valuable information to the user. When a member pulls out their credit card and joins a website, they have high expectations. If they have a problem, their expecting to find a solution. If they need some particular knowledge, they expect to be educated. A successful membership site meets or exceeds the members’ expectations.

3) The membership management process is not automated – this is crucial to the success of your membership site! You need to easily be able to offer different membership levels and types, process payments and protect your content.

Avoid these three mistakes and you will find yourself well on the way to growing your own money tree!
