I can understand why all these affiliates are trying to cash in on this launch. Big launches of (relatively) big ticket items are a gravy train for well-connected affiliates with large lists.

And John Reese has a very good reputation, and by all accounts this is a very nice product with some solid suggestions and a few sort-of new ideas.

But buying another big "how to" manual is like buying a new golf driver. If you don't know how to use it, or don't have the discipline to learn how, the chances are about 95% it isn't going to magically help you very much. You may feel like it is helping you, but your scores will be pretty much the same before and after.

The best advice I've seen is from Todd Gross:

"I'll tell you exactly what you'll get from John Reese's fine product...

1. You will learn to create content and it is suggested that you should
HIRE someone to do it. This is an extra cost you may not have money for presently.

2. You will learn how to do excellent research, you'll do best if you HIRE someone to learn and do it for you. The research tips are great. I've considered hiring someone myself to learn and do this kind of research as it takes a lot of concentration. This is an extra cost you may not have money for.

3. You will be given a TON of options, and you may become paralyzed
by information overload if you aren't a pro, or experienced. Personally, I
can handle a ton of options. But even I freak out, and try to pick just
one or two things that work."

Todd's advice: If you want to get traffic, forget about products like Traffic 2.0 and start making videos.

I couldn't agree more. What you need to make the move to more traffic and more online success is one or two good ideas. Not 10 or 20 or 200. Most of us do not have the time or resources to follow up on the advice given in these mega courses. We would be much better off to find a couple of things that work and run with them.

Videos definitely work, although I do not agree that you will get "TONS of traffic" just by sticking up any old video on Youtube. You need some idea of what you're doing when you create videos, and then you should use a service like Traffic Geyser to distribute your videos as far and wide as possible. If you don't want to put out the money for Traffic Geyser, then use the free service at Tube Mogul.

Just producing videos is not enough. To create an internet business you need a plan, and you need direction. And the best way to get going in the right direction is to find someone who you can use as a resource and an advisor. Someone who has been through the process of building an internet business and can show you how to get to your goal without having to make all the same mistakes.

The best product I have seen to give you an introduction to this side of online business is Joint Venture Seeker from Liz Tomey. This is a series of videos and audio interviews that discusses the concept of "joint ventures".

Don't let that high falutin term "joint ventures" put you off. What the course is saying is that you can be successful a lot faster if you work with other people. You can use their knowledge, their special skills, their contacts, and their lists to develop products and market them a whole lot faster than by doing it yourself.

This one simple insight is worth the weight of Traffic Secrets 2.0 in gold.

If you know anything about getting traffic from the search engines, you know the importance of getting backlinks to your websites.

Would you like to have access to a place where you can easily create promotional messages for your products and services? A website where you can build backlinks to all your websites and get the attention of Google and the other search engines? The Link Builder Network is just what you are looking for - a network of more than 50 blogs where you can create posts to promote all your products and services.

In fact you can even resell this service to clients. If you are a web designer, for example you can bundle a unique promotional service with your other web building services.

Among other things, the Link Builder Network is a "member restricted" website designed to allow members to promote their products and services. Inside the member restricted area you will find important tools to help build links and web presence.

What kind of tools?

1. A "Multi-Poster" program that lets you post to all blogs within the network. An individual post can be sent to one blog or several. It is all right there in front of you, with no need to log into each blog separately.

2. Instructional videos demonstrating how to use the system and make effective posts.

3. Tools to help you write effective blog posts.

4. An ordering system where members can order specially written blog posts at cut rate prices.

5. Hundreds of PLR articles you can use as the basis for your blog posts.

With the Link Builder Network, members can make as many entries as they like - The purpose of the Link Builder Network is to give members an avenue for promotion. So members are free to use the blogs within the network to do legitimate promotion of their products and services.

No spamming is tolerated. Blog posts must make sense, have a maximum of 3 embedded links, and must not be repeated or duplicated in more than 4 blogs across the network.
