DAY 96

UPDATE: Wednesday, 15-Jun-2005 2:14 PM

As part of my effort to do everthing in the promotion of the maxsimo.com network I spent some time revising the banner ads I setup for the site.

The first set of 4 banners were too colorful and not appropriate for the site.

I thought the banners attracted too much attention and were too loud for the site. I have now revised them to just text ads that are displayed via a banner.

I think the results are good. They get just enough attention, but don't detract from the main message that I am working on.

I hope to come up with a total of 8 more banners to add to the site.

My other task today is finish another letter to a potential large sponsor for the Maxsimo network.

My approach with every project that I have undertaken is two pronged --I pursue smaller sponsors. In the case of p31.com I didn't find a way to have small sponsors until I realized that I could capitalize on the visitors.

Then I proceeded to have google ads, which became my lower-end sponsor. Now I am still looking for 12 major sponsors, which I hope to have before the end of 2006.

Now on to the larger project --www.maxsimo.com. The sellers who utilize the network are the default small sponsors. Now I am looking for a larger sponsor (partner) to work with in developing some of the tools.

The first such sponsors that came to mind are cellular telecom companies. Many of these companies would like to find partner operations that can build products and services that their subcribers can use.

The more opportunties the subscribers have to use their networks the more revenue the telecoms can generate. To that goal I have several ideas that I want to 'plug into' maxsimo.com.

I have written the letter over several weeks and now I want to contact the telecoms and a few other venture capital funds that sponsor such operations.

The goal is to fund operations on the much higher end by working with a sponsor who has the resources and network already operational. By piggybacking on to their operation with our tools I can quickly expand the reach of the maxsimo network.

That is the idea. And now the plan goes into execution.

That leaves me with another idea that I need to execute: That is the network of organic sites that I wanted to develop.

I explored the idea in the past day or two. The idea is to setup a network of sites using the domains that are part of the maxsimo.com network. For example, one tool is called ROBO*banner and for that we have had since 1999 the domain robobanner.com and a few others including .net. What I want to do is write several pages of text about the tool, what can be done with it and how to use it and put it on the sites that we have. At tht bottom of the site, all I need to do is link back to maxsimo.com where the FREE traffic generated from th effort will reward our sellers.

OK, let's get started with the text:

WWW.ROBOBANNER.COM is the site text that I'll work on.

THE BENEFITS of ROBObanner:

Takes the ad that is inputted and multiplies it over a network of banners giving viral exposure to the advertiser.

Then reports back to the advertiser within the ADMIN area of maxsimo.com with stats of views, usage, etc.

This is the first generation of robobanner.

The proposal is out already to expand the robobanner to all types of banners that are driven by key words/phrases and become highly targeted.

I'll show a working ROBO*Banner in more depth on the next day of my blog.

At this time I would like to move on to the other products that are in the ADMIN area of the Member and Seller at www.maxsimo.com.

The next product is OMNILEADS and it is a service that allows the user to craft within the ADMIN area a form that can collect all types of lead data.

The system will then store the responses for the user to view at a later time. And emails a setup of data as well.

The product was setup so that user, especially sellers, could generate leads for what every product, program or service that they were deploying on the Internet.

I tested the product and it works well. There are some minor edits to make in some of the text, but the rest of is working -especially the technical aspect of it.

So, what I have to work on are several pages for the products and then link back to the www.maxsimo.com site. All of this is adding up to be a lot of work lately. But the only way I'll get any of it done is to keep going at it.

Having said that I need to move on to the next part of the setup, where I am analyzing the traffic coming to this site. Ok, out for now. Sam.
