Introduction First of all, thank you for ordering Instant Traffic Solution.
This book is not only going to show you the one traffic method I‟ve
been using to generate as much as 297 subscribers per day but also
will open your eyes and expand your horizon about Traffic
Generation in general and make you realize that possibilities are
endless and there‟s always a way if there‟s a will.
I don‟t want you just following the rules and doing what everyone
else is doing. The REAL internet marketer does not blindly follow -
he learns, tries, adapts and invents new ways of domination.
By following what everybody else is doing you‟re going to make just
as much money as everybody else – either none or VERY little. This
book is going to show you how I picked up on a concept, expanded it
and changed a few things which are now responsible for me being
able to generate hundreds fresh new leads overnight on demand!

However, just by picking up Instant Traffic Solutions, there‟s no
guarantee you will make money in a few hours or any time soon for
that matter. Only by taking massive action on daily basis you will
have a decent chance of making money online. And frankly that is
probably the #1 reason 90% of our industry still haven‟t made a red
cent on the internet…
After a recent poll it turned out that 90% of internet marketers are
yet to upload their first website. How pathetic is that? I hope that by
investing in this course, you‟re going to separate yourself from these
people who are destined for failure and join me, my team and the
rest of the 10% who are already making money working from home!
With that said, let‟s begin.

What‟s the Best Traffic Source of „em All? During the past few years I tried nearly every known traffic
generation method. I tried social media, ppc, facebook, ppv, banners,
blogging – you name it!
Being the entrepreneur that I am, I always try to monetize my
incoming traffic to an extent which is most profitable for me and my
business. That is why I am always building lists.
However, as it turns out not all traffic generation methods were
made equal. Some are better than others. And if I were to rank
them, my Traffic Generation Techniques rankings would look like
this:
• JV and Syndication
• Pay Per Click, Pay Per View, Banner Ads
• Social Media and Blogging
• Forums, Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, etc.
Traffic methods described in #4 aren‟t significant enough to expand
on, that is why I am only going to focus on the first three.
Endorsed Traffic – Joint Ventures By far and with a huge lead, JV traffic is the best damn traffic
method you can use. In other words, endorsed traffic will get you
more money.
The prospect is much more likely to take action with you
(purchase your product/opt in to your list) if he hears about
you/your service from someone he already likes and trusts.
6 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
That is why having a mailing list is such a huge asset in our industry.
You‟ll get much more respect, bonuses, special deals and unique JV
opportunities simply because you have a bigger list then the other
guy does – because you can make more sales.
Another fantastic asset to JV traffic is that it‟s INSTANT.
You don‟t have to wait until your ad gets approved and starts
getting impressions on the Search Engine Results Pages as you do
with PPC.
Paid Traffic Methods – Pay Per Click and Pay
Per View Before I indulge into the reasons why paid traffic is my second best
personal favorite, let me first explain the difference between Pay Per
Click and Pay Per View.
Pay Per Click is when you‟re paying per CLICK. E.g. when someone
clicks on your Google Adwords ad – you‟ll be charged a certain
amount of money for that.
Pay Per View is when you‟re paying per a thousand impressions of
your ad which can be your squeeze page, banner or a text link.
Impression is different from a Click. Impression doesn‟t guarantee a
person reacting to your ad in any way. A Click does. That‟s why an
impression in a decently competitive niche costs about $0.0015 while
a click would cost you about $1.5.
However, if you multiply a cost of impression by 1000, you‟ll get $1.5
cost per 1000 impressions which is about the same. But here‟s the
deal, with PPV – you can work on increasing your Click Through
Rates by split testing different ads and thus lowering your cost per
click.
7 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
Example: you‟re paying $1.5 per 1000 impressions and your average
click through rate is 1%. This means you‟re getting 10 clicks of every
thousand impressions. But what if you could improve your CTR up to
2%? You would immediately cut your advertising costs in half and
generate 20 clicks for the same money.
You see how this works? It‟s very interesting once you dive into it,
however, this is not what I wanted to talk about.
The reason Paid Traffic methods will always be less effective than JV
traffic is because it‟s cold traffic. These people are hitting your
website without any prior relationship with you. They don‟t know
you, never heard of you and most importantly – do not trust you
…yet!
So now, you've got to work twice as hard: first you got to earn their
trust and sell your product second.
Social Media and Blogging For about 8 months I extensively tried blogging and social media
marketing. I did not succeed. And that wasn‟t because of low traffic
or high competition for that matter.
My blog still gets 150-200 unique visitors a day, however, I never
succeeded at making money with all this traffic. Why? Because
people who spend most of their time on social networking sites are
rarely the ones with $$$ to spend.
Social Media traffic has a low buying capability which means, that
you simply can‟t sell these people anything for the reason of them
not being able to buy.
That‟s probably why I couldn‟t do anything with all the traffic I was
getting, and incidentally the list I‟ve built off that blog was useless.
It was only 8 months later I realized why I wasn‟t making any
8 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
money. It wasn‟t because my marketing was bad, No! My marketing
was OK, these people were broke and they simply couldn‟t afford
buying any of the products I was offering.
Instant Traffic Solution Now that we‟ve established that JV traffic is by far the best, the
fastest and most profitable traffic source on the planet, you‟re
probably thinking: “But I am new to all this, where am I supposed to
get Joint Venture partners?”
It all depends whether you already have a list or not. If you do, it‟s
easy. You can set up what is called Email AdSwaps.
Adswap is pretty self explanatory. You endorse another publisher to
your list while he does the same for you with his list. It‟s a free
method which I used extensively and keep using to this day to grow
my lists at rocket speeds.
Usually, you‟re going to find it easier to set up ad swaps with similar
list size list owners, however, it‟s also possible to score JVs with
larger list owners as well.
Let‟s say that you have a list of 500 and the other guy has a list of
1000. You can negotiate with him and come to an agreement to
send out twice for him (whether on the same date or on 2
separate occasions) while he‟ll send out only once for you, thus
making it a fair exchange.
It‟s important to remember that when setting up a swap with other
list owners, it‟s important to come to an agreement to match clicks,
not list sizes. Because, even if the other guy has a larger list, it
doesn‟t mean he will get more clicks then you.

Always ask for auto responder proof screenshots where you can see
and calculate an average amount of clicks the partner is going to
deliver. And at the same time, always be ready and willing to show
your proof screenshots as well.
The reason this is so important is because you can easily get ripped
off when swapping ads with people you don‟t know. There are plenty
of scammers out there…

How Often Should You Swap Ads The more adswaps you do, the bigger your list will get.
However, it‟s important not to over burn your list with adswaps,
because eventually, if you push too many endorsements, they will
stop responding to your emails and unsubscribe.
3-4 adswaps a week is enough. Use other days to send out content:
blog posts, newsletters, testimonials and your own product promos.
Take a look at my mailing calendar for the month of September 2010
(click to see full size):
12 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
Notice that I don‟t swap every day and rarely mail out broadcasts on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. Also, I‟ve noticed the more aggressive I
am with swapping the more unsubscribes I get, which means that
you need to balance this thing and figure the right proportions for
your list.
I know some marketers who swap every single day and their lists
grow at rocket speeds overlooking the high number of unsubscribes.
This happens because they simply generate way more new
subscribers per day thanks to swapping opposed to the number of
people who unsubscribe from their lists.
At the end of the day you want to be considering only one factor: is
this making you more money? If not, ditch it, and move on to
something else that will.
You have got to find your special tempo. And there is no right or
wrong answer I can give you.
If your list is conditioned to receive emails from you twice a day,
than you should keep mailing twice a day. However, if they expect
one email per week from you, it won‟t be a good idea to conduct 4
swaps a week, would it?
Do what it takes to find that perfect pace. Condition your
subscribers to expect your emails to arrive on specific days, at
specific hours, etc.
If you pull this off just right, you‟ll be amazed how high your open
rates and CTRs will get. People will eagerly anticipate emails
from you and will be INTERESTED in actually reading them.

I used to love this show called “Prison Break”. Every single week,
come Monday, at exactly 8 PM, I‟d stick to the TV set and nothing
could pull me away from it. I anticipated the moment I‟ll watch that
show.
You‟re looking to build the same kind of anticipation with your list.
Get them conditioned. For all I care, you could use the Pavlov Dogs‟
trick on them (of course, by law, I am obligated to tell you NOT to
do that, but it‟s your business and it‟s up to you to make the call).
“What If I Don‟t Have a List?” Yes, adswaps are great. It truly is an Instant Traffic Solution. But…
What if you don‟t have a list to swap with in the first place?
Simple. You build it, using solo ads!
Solo Ad is a single email endorsement done by a list owner for you
in exchange for a negotiated fee.
And here‟s the kicker: there‟s no such thing as a SOLID PRICE.
Means, you can easily negotiate a fantastic deal with nearly anybody!
But before I indulge into the details of setting up solo ads, let me
first explain why it‟s the next best thing after swapping email ads.
Remember I told you that JV traffic is the best? Well, solo ads are
still a Joint Venture traffic source, where a person of Authority
(list owner) endorses you to his followers, thus making you a person
of Authority by association.
And if you negotiate a solo ad deal just right – it‟s Dirt Cheap!
14 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
You can set up solo ads to pay as low as $0.30 per unique visitor.
Where else can you get such a low CPC? Not even Facebook can
compete with that! And let‟s not forget – all PPC traffic sources
are cold traffic, while solo ads, ad swaps and other JV
endorsements are all hot, highly converting traffic sources.
Here‟s what to focus on when negotiating a solo ad
• Before anything else, ask for proof of list size and clicks. Verify
the amount of “confirmed” and “active” subscribers. Many
people will tell you there lists are bigger from what they really
are.
• How many clicks partner guarantees to deliver? Meaning, he
must commit to a minimum amount of people visiting your site.
Confirm with him, that he is going to mail twice, if necessary.
• Usually, I like to pay $10 for 1000 subscribers, if partner
doesn‟t have an already established price for the solo ad.
However, to determine whether the deal‟s worth taking, always
calculate “expected average cost per click” for every particular
solo ad you‟re considering.
For example: if I am paying $50 for a guaranteed 150 clicks,
I‟m actually paying $50/150=$0.33 per click. That‟s about as
cheap as it gets!
To cover your advertising costs, you need a product attached to the
backend of your free offer. So, if you have one – Fantastic! Use it. If
not, don‟t worry, you can simply use the “Affiliate Presell Page”
strategy I shared with you in “Crossing The Free Line”.
15 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
Where To Find and Score Solo Ads Opposed to swapping ads, you should only approach people who are
already offering solo ads and are established in the niche.
Warrior forum JV section is probably the best place to find genuine
solo ad offers. There are many list owners who use their lists solely
for the purpose of sending out solos for other marketers as a money
making strategy.

How To Monetize Ad Swaps and Solos For
Maximum Profits While conducting lots of ad swaps you may end up in ironic situation:
your list will get bigger, however, you won‟t be making any money
with it, or at least, not as much as you‟d hope you would.
That‟s why it‟s important to leave time for promotions, launches and
other endorsements. You know, the things that are going to make
you money.
Of course, you‟ll be promoting your own product on the backend, or
at least you should, but the big bucks are in launches. That‟s why
you see a new launch happen every 15 seconds - because they
WORK!
So, here are a few tips on how to monetize adswaps:
• Always have a OTO or some kind of an offer presented to your
prospects immediately after they sign up to your list. Whether
it‟s presented instantly or 1 day later using an auto responder,
it doesn‟t matter, just have something they can buy from you.
Always have something for sale after they sign up to be on
your list. That‟s one of the biggest secrets to making money
online.
Be constantly presenting your list with offers: when they first
sign up, on the follow up, on your blog, in your email
signature – EVERYWHERE!
Eventually they are going to either buy something or get off
your list – and that‟s a GOOD thing! At the end of the day,
that‟s what you want – a list full of people who are able and
willing to buy your stuff.
17 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
• When setting up swaps, ask your JV partner whether he has an
affiliate program available, so you can make money during the
swap promoting his products to your list.
More often than not, you‟ll find that nearly every partner you
swap with has some kind of an affiliate program you can join
and make money off. It‟s a nice way of testing different offers
to see which ones convert better and use them as a consistent
income stream. Just take the ones that convert and stick them
into your auto responder sequence, sit back and watch the
money roll in.
• Use Thank You page banner ads to promote affiliate
offers/freebies/CPA offers like so:
19 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
I am not a fan of linking directly to a sales letter from a thank
you page. I found out that linking to a freebie delivers a higher
response rate as well as more appreciation from the reader.
However, although it worked for me, I can‟t say that it‟s a one-
fit-all rule, and that is why I urge you to test different offers and
see which ones convert best with your list.
Here‟s my favorite thank you page ad that has already made me a
over a thousand dollars in automated profits.
Tim Bekker‟s Pay Per Lead partner program -
http://www.cbleads.com/sign-up.html/
Here‟s a screenshot dated March 2010:
That‟s an extra $154.90 per month just for sticking a banner on
my thank you page. I can easily reinvest this into advertising or
use it any way I feel necessary. You‟d have to be stupid not to use
this strategy. It‟s FREE money!
20 | P a g e All Rights Reserved © CrossingTheFreeLine.com
Don‟t take my word for it, test it out, see what works best and focus
on the offers that make you most money. That‟s the only criteria that
should concern you EVER. Are you making the maximum money
possible? If not, WHY? How can you improve your conversions?
Etc…
I can‟t stress this enough. I see too many people focusing on
relationships, value, “gentle marketing”, trying not to be too
intrusive, etc.
Screw that! If you‟re spending all that time, energy and money on
getting a website up and running, driving traffic, writing copy,
building a list and you‟re not making THE MAXIMUM MONEY
POSSIBLE at the end of the day – than you‟re robbing yourself
out of your dreams, wealth and freedom.
If you‟re willing to sacrifice that for the sake of looking like a real nice
guy in the eyes of your prospects, than please do, however, I say, if
they don‟t want to buy my product or have no plans of doing so in
the near future – I won‟t be holding on to their email addresses.
Sure, that might sound like a harsh approach, but that‟s what
running a business is all about – look at the cold hard facts. Look at
the numbers. Hell, look at what the big guns do – they SELL! That‟s
why they are wealthy, swimming in cash and you‟re broke. That‟s the
only difference!
Don‟t be afraid to hard sell… How are you planning to achieve
financial freedom if you‟re afraid to ask for the money? It‟s
impossible. Positive Thinking isn‟t enough, YOU NEED TO ASK FOR
THE MONEY!
