STOP right NOW! Check this one thing or you may be losing money.

23 replies
In mousing around the WF the last couple of weeks, I have tripped over steaming piles of lost opportunity.

Lost opportunity, in case you're wondering, smells like despair.

Here's the one thing you need to do before you do anything else:

Check your signature to make sure the links in it actually work!

So simple. And yet so easy to forget.

The WF is a powerful tool. Hone your edge.

I checked my sig today. Have you?

    Ive just started tracking mine using GA and Googles URL builder.

    I know exactly how much traffic is coming from each link, and what traffic leads to a conversion.

    Powerful stuff

      Mine work, but good advice.

      Every time you set up a signature always check it after your first post to check its ok.
      {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[5957693].message }}
      • You should check it periodically anyway, especially if you're not a frequent visitor to the WF. That sig you set up two years ago may be out of date.

        I clicked on a guy's sig this morning and it took me to a GoDaddy landing page, the kind you get when you haven't renewed your domain.

        Oopsie.

          Good points, indeed. There are other "oopsies" in this realm, too. With apologies for drifting slightly off the original subject, for myself, I'd possibly even be marginally less embarrassed by that one than by a "Make $100 per day" link to a squeeze page which says underneath the opt-in "Get your free website with Yola/Blinkweb/Weebly" and/or "Get your free autoresponder with XYZ" ... now that's really "oopsie" when you're trying to opt in people responding to an income claim.

            What's worse is ...

            "Can someone please help me, Ive been at this for 3 years and havent made any money, Im desperate"

            Then in their signature reads ..

            "CLICK HERE, to discover how I earn $20,000 a month on complete auto pilot - raving reviews" :rolleyes:

    I've clicked all of your links. They work, you are free to go about your business.

    I bought absolutely nothing though :p.
