Thought of the Day
*****

The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.
~ author unknown

It sometimes seems so difficult to keep our eye on the dream, the prize, the long term goal whether it be weight loss, dealing with an addiction, or Internet Marketing.

But once we’ve defined the dream and broken it into smaller achievable steps it becomes so much easier.

Suddenly success becomes about the importance of each achievement and not just crossing the finish line.

The Members Forum
*****

It’s been awhile since a personal invitation has been extended to each of you to come join us at The Members Forum.

The Members Forum is a great place to meet other traffic exchange members and the owners.

I’d like to ask a favor of you as well. There is a thread that asks what kind of things that members are looking for in a forum.. I’d like you to log in or join if you haven’t aleady and go the following thread…

www.themembersforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5774

Of course you can and should look around and see what the forum offers you if you are new.. but once you read the post about what members are looking for in a forum please post your answers.. any and all suggestions, ideas are welcome.

Those of you that do and include your HitSafari username will have 100 credits added to your HitSafari account!

Thanks in advance for your participation!

Pajamas and Books
*****

Our Pajama and Book project has a total of $340 which means each organization has $170 coming! Very cool don’t you think? You guys are doing great.

If you’re new or not sure what the Pajama and Book project is, visit this page. It will fill you in on all the details.

www.hitsafari.com/blog/hitsafari-gives-back/

I have $80 of pajamas ready to be sent and I will be taking a picture before I send them and post it.

Thanks again to everyone who has been purchasing credits .. remember this particular project continues through the end of December.

We’re still working to get the new HitSafari script tweaked to be the best exchange it can be as well as one that you, the members, love to use.

I VERY much appreciate all of the comments and suggestions that I’ve received.. they have been very helpful for the most part and yes, we do listen!

Some changes that have been made since the last newsletter…

==> There is now an ASSIGN CREDITS button in your navigation menu.

==> The prize page has been changed completely so that there is no more choosing.. it’s now like before, you WIN every time!

==> There is no more verification page.

The thing I always liked about HitSafari was that it was different then other exchanges and come to find out many of you liked that as well.

That is why I wouldn’t agree to a new script for so long.. but it finally got to the point where it was a necessity .. but I’m still working on making HitSafari as unique as possible… after all YOU deserve a truly special and unique exchange!

——-
Remember one thing that you have at HitSafari that is unique is your downline builder that you can add YOUR OWN programs to.

**Credit Sales

Through the end of December 10% of all credit sales will be donated to First Book and 10% will be donated to The Pajama Project. You can read the details and keep up on how we’re doing by going here:

Pajamas and Books.. a Cuddly Combo

Sales from the 1st - 15th of November equaled $864 which mean $90 has been set aside for First Book and $90 for The Pajama Project.

Thanks! You guys are great!

We’re coming up on a busy time of year.. This is a great way for you to advertise your sites while helping to give kids in need some warm pajamas and a book of their own.

That’s all for today.. keep those suggestions and comments coming!

Thanks for your time.. I appreciate it!

There are just a couple things I need to clear up tonight.

In no particular order..

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

When you enter a url now you are able to check it yourself immediately. It seems like many of you are still used to having to wait for admin to check and verify your urls.

Old habits are definitly hard to break, but remembering to check and verify your own URL will get it into circulation immediately as long as you assign credits to it.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Please note that when you have 100% of your credits assigned that the credits you receive during your surf session will be immediately assigned to your URLs. They will NOT accumulate.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

You may have noticed the new stat table on the front page that shows number of members, pages surfed, members online etc.

I’ve been questioned about the low number of members that HitSafari has.. there’s an easy answer for that.

Our member number reflects an accurate number of active members. We are consistently pruning the member list of inactive members, members whose email bounces back a certain number of times and the great number of those that are, shall we say, less ethical in their surfing habits.

Sure we could give you a number that would show how many people have joined HitSafari since we opened in 2003 and it would be significantly higher, but my belief is, that is misleading.. just my opinion and the way I’ve chosen to do it.

That being said, don’t be afraid that your account will be deleted if you don’t log in this week. The accounts we delete have been inactive for a long time.. many have never surfed at all, and also do not have downlines.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Now some fun stuff…

From now through the end of the year HitSafari will be donating 20% of income brought in through credit purchases.

Some of you will remember that we did this with First Book before and 10% will be going to them this time as well.

First Book provides brand new books to Children in need this holiday season and throughout the year.

Any donation that we send before December 31, 2008 will be matched by Random House Childrens Books. Every $25 donation that would normally by 10 new books will now be matched by 10 More Books!

Really cool, right?

10% will also go to Pajama Program. The Pajama Program provides new, warm pajamas and books to children in need in the United States and around the world. Many of these children ar waiting and hoping to be adopted.. many have been abandoned, deprived of any love at all.

There are thousands of children on the list that need pajamas. The ‘Danger Season’ starts October 1st which is when the coldest time of the year begins.

The Pajama Program does just accept cash donations but my plan is to purchase the pajamas locally, as I have a connection where I can take advantage of sales. This way I can take pictures of what I’m sending and post them. I think that will be more fun and help to personalize what it is that you as members are accomplishing.

That’s it for today.. Thanks for sticking through this long one

Have a great week.

We hope you have lots of fun with this contest.. be sure to watch your email box as we plan on many little surprises over the next couple of weeks.

Before I announce the winners, there’s a little business to clear up.

Many of you received an odd email yesterday from Hitsafari.com/lj requesting your login info which appeared to be from Traffic Dynamite.

Of course all kinds of rumours were started which weren’t true but hey, it gave people something to gossip about for a day.

The truth is that HitSafari will be moving to a new script soon.. the script that I am running now is original to HS and is missing a lot of the cool new technology that makes
it easy to run specials and bonuses and prize giveaways and all that fun stuff.

It will be a great move for us once completed..

Since Traffic Dynamite uses the same script that we are changing to, I had some generic emails loaded up with plans of personalizing them to HitSafari.. No one knows for sure what happened but one of those emails got triggered and sent out.

I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.. There’s nothing to worry about and your current HitSafari account is working just fine and will continue to.

Ok.. on to the winners!

Congratulations to each of you, $5 has been added to your HitSafari and Soaring4Traffic accounts.

This was a fun contest and generated a lot of interest.. we will definitly be doing more with Ray and Soaring4Traffic in the future. Ray is such a cool guy and runs a fantastic
and innovative exchange.

Be sure if you have any questions, and can’t find the answers in the tutorials provided or the FAQ’s, drop us an email and we’d be happy to help you out.

Also, if any of you haven’t signed up for the HitSafari news using the form on the first page you login to, be sure and do that as well.

Soon, ALL newsletters will be delivered through that system. At the present time all news of our surfing contests and bonuses are announced through that system so if you don’t want to be left out be sure and sign up!

Using that system for news puts a lot less stress on the server especially with the huge growth in numbers that HitSafari has been experiencing.

I’ve got a couple of announcements for you today.. an addition to the HitSafari Downline Builder and a new opportunity that you’ll want to get involved with.. it’s free

NEW DOWNLINE BUILDER PROGRAM

I use literally dozens of methods of driving traffic to my websites. One of the forms of traffic that I used to put at the back of the line was list building programs… Some work better than others (I know, I use a dozen of them myself), but there’s a couple that I’ve found work better than the rest….

One is ListJoe which has been in the HitSafari Downline Builder for awhile and the second one is a fairly new program, The List Auction, which I’ve now added to the Downline Builder.

http://paulazuehlke.com/recommends/thelistauction

Not only does it offer the highest commissions of any of the other sites I use, but it has features that make branding yourself almost too easy. You can get traffic to your website through multiple methods, get impressive results and actually track those results right on the site!

If you need more traffic to your site, your sales pages are lonely or you just want to get better results from your affiliate marketing efforts (yes, you can even promote affiliate programs!), then you need to check out this brand new site:

http://paulazuehlke.com/recommends/thelistauction

Be sure and update your downline builder with your user number!

EXCITING OPPORTUNITY

If you’re a member of Traffic Taxis then you know who Ray Casey is. He has been doing the support for Traffic Taxis for quite awhile and also helps out over at RainForest Clicks.

Ray has learned Traffic Exchanges from the inside out and has been a huge help with Traffic Taxis and RainForest Clicks and now it’s his turn to start his own exchange… David and I are doing what we can to help him in return for everything that he has done for us.

We would like to get your help as well.. first off with beta testing his new site. We need people to join, poke around and use the site. We need you looking out for typos and trying the links etc to make sure he doesn’t have any unsuspected bugs in the system.

This offer is only on the table for a short period of time and is only going to be offered to the members of HitSafari, RainForest Clicks and Traffic Taxis.

In return for your help we have something special lined up for all of you. At the moment it’s all hush-hush but when launch day comes you will be very excited about we have to offer everyone that signed up and helped out through this testng.

Do NOT do any referring… keep that for launch day. You will understand exactly why when the time comes.

So please help us out and come sign up to Volcano Hits using this link

http://www.volcanohits.com/?rid=4

Please note that sites design has not been installed yet and and the site is in beta. But a great opportunity to see how a site is transformed from scratch!
