I am sure that you have noticed on some Swom Members profiles there are different types of font sizes and colors. Well let’s explain some of the different font changes you can achieve in your Swom profile.

In order to change the font sizes in your Swom Profile you need to add the “Special Characters” to the text that you want to change.

A space between the “Special Characters” (asterisk, minus sign) and your text does not seem to be necessary. Most “Special Characters” need to be placed on both sides or surrounding your text.

Other “Special Characters” like the # sign only like to be placed in the beginning of the text and will not work properly if placed after the text.

Please note that the line underneath the red text modifications are actually three minus signs!!

*Italic Text*

**Bold Text**

***Bold Italic Text***

And of course you can use Bullet Points •

Play around and see what kind of combinations you can come up with!!  Have fun editing your profile!!

Just wanted to let you know we created two more free Swom Banners that you can use as you wish.  They can be found on  the original post at Free Swom Banners . As before we please  ask that you Do Not Hotlink to the images.  Instructions on how to upload them so you can use them are found on the original Free Swom Banner Post.  Thank – You and have a great day Swomming!!

Just a quick note.  The internet changes rapidly and Swom is no exception.  Due to the changes as far as the captcha system Sadly Swombot will no longer be available.  You can read the Admins reply in the comment section below.  Nonetheless the post will stay up for “Historic” reasons.  Have a great day!!

Currently I am aware of two programs that allow you to add contacts in Swom automatically.

The first one is called Swom Bot.  I have tested this new Swom friend adder and quite honestly it works very, very good!  It is very easy to use and implement.  If you have no computer skills whatsoever, you need not be afraid of Swom Bot.  You can download it for free and get 500 credits free at http://www.swombot.com

It is a free download and after registering you will receive 500 credits so that you can add 500 new Swom members to your contact list.  You can purchase additional credits  in the amounts of 5,000 (5 £ or approximately $7.58 US Dollars), 10,000 (8 £ or approximately $12.13 US Dollars), 20,000 (15 £ or approximately $22.75 US Dollars), 50,000 (30 £ or approximately $45.49 US Dollars) and 100,000 (50 £ or approximately $75.82 US Dollars).

I was also going to do a review of a second one called webDOMinator.  Supposedly it has numerous plugins that you can download that will work with virtually any social network that you may be a member of.  But when I tried to download it my anti-virus software said it contained malware.  It may just be a glitch or an overzealous anti-virus program, nonetheless  I am not going to risk my computer with malware if I have already found what I want and it works quite well!  If you would like to check out webDOMinator feel free at http://webdombot.com but don’t say I didn’t warn you when your computer comes back working like a paper holder!

webDOMinator has a monthly subscription charge starting at $19.99 for a month, $54.99 for three months, $99.99 for six months and a one year license for $189.99.  The plans provide you with (1)  license to use the webDOMinator software on one computer plus unlimited sites. Payment recurs every period for which subscription service you have paid for.

WebDOMinator also offers a free 14 day trial.

Swom Bot and WebDOMinator are currently the only two friend adders that I am aware of that will automate adding contacts to your Swom account.  There are many more contact adders for a variety of social networks.  So if you do a lot of social network marketing you may want to investigate for yourself what some of these other options may be.

Lastly, just a brief note if you use an automatic friend adder for any social network there is always a chance that you just might irritate the administrator of the site and he will delete/ban your account or and/or block your I.P. address.  Just going from previous knowledge of other websites these bots can and do wreak havoc on servers and can cause a great deal of frustration and anger for the admin.

This is a quote from the Swom Admin:

“Swom Admin: ‘Please be advised that the use of automated software is strictly prohibited on SWOM, particularly softwares which make automatic posts in an effort to earn community points. This is not fair to other members to spend time participating. Please make sure you do not use any such software/program on Swom and delete any reference to them on your Swom profile. Attempting to ‘cheat’ the system on Swom is a sure way of getting your account deleted, and you will forfeit all your commissions.”

In the end, as always you will need to find the most appropriate method that you feel comfortable with and run with it!  Have fun adding friends on Swom!!

Over the next few days, Swom will be launching the beta version of the Swom Open University…

This will be a BRAND NEW AREA where you will be able to ask and answer any marketing related questions.

You will be able to share your marketing tips with other Swom members and earn reputation and community
points! The Swom Open University will become a major part of the site. Swom is building the ultimate community-based marketing resource – members will be able to use this to promote Swom and their other businesses.

At last, even the average Joe can soon learn the secrets of successful online marketing.

Only Gold members have full access the Swom Open University… another great Gold benefit!

So if you are not Gold yet, be sure to UPGRADE!!!!

I am still convinced that Swom is the greatest place for marketers, specially for NEWBIES. It is a way for you to earn while you earn. I wish I had Swom when I first started online, I would not make so many mistakes….And I would not lose lots of money (majority of newbies lose much more than what they earn in the beggining….and I was one of them).

So, if you haven`t yet joined SWOM, this is a perfect time for you, UPGRADE as soon as you can because you will make your monthly membership just by connecting with new members and communicating… Also you will be a part of Swom university, where you can learn how to market online!!!

Hi guys, we finally officially launched 24HourCashout. This is a brand new 1×1 matrix that has more value inside than any matrix I have ever signed up for. We actually turned Online Traffic Bible into a referral program, so in the members area you will find over 2000 places to advertise, Private label rights products, Resale rights, Downline builder, Multiple income streams and Bonus resources. You can get paid 3 times for every referral: daily, weekly and monthly: $8 for every referral paid to you in 24 hours within referring, $1 per  referral paid to you every week  – and we will count the total of your referrals each week (on sundays);  and we will count the total of your referrals on the last day of each month. Basically this is a 1×1 matrix, where in order to cycle you need only ONE person. It costs $19 one time fee and like I said, this is a program/matrix  with a great value where you actually get all you need to market and advertise in one place. All of you who already bought Online Traffic Bible, check your e-mails: we are giving you a FREE 24HourCashout membership so you can make your money back!!!

24HourCashout is a very easy to sell product because if there is one question that I get from ppl who are trying to make it online it`s ” Where do I advertise my business and how do I get referrals?”  Well now you have the answer: 24HourCashout – over 2000 places to advertise and to build your downline PLUS a 1×1 matrix that pays 3 times (One Time) for the same person!!!! I am sure you will love it!

There is also another great program , but you can`t get in without a private invitation. It`s a gifting program and the admins are making sure that everyone gets 2 ppl under you. We have our skype room where you can follow LIVE what is going on. If you want more info, you need to e-mail me here: ibagatin@inet.hr and I will send you the invitation.

See you in Swom!!!!

First of all, I know I haven`t been posting lately but there is a reason for it, I am preparing for a new launch – we combined Online Traffic Bible and some other resources to a referral program and 1×1 matrix where you will be paid 3 times/month for the same referral – daily, weekly and monthly. More about that very soon, maybe even tomorrow. As for Swom, I am really convinced that it is a great program and a greatest tool for getting referrals/downline for all your other programs. And they are getting better every day in my opinion. They removed 10% rule so right now it doesn`t matter how many of your referrals upgrade to GOLD, you will earn $15 FAST START BONUS and $5 RESIDUAL INCOME on each end every one.

Swom had:

- 27 MILLION page views in 45 days
- 10% conversion rate to Gold membership

Those are GREAT results. But that is not all. They are getting ready for finally launching the ‘Marketing University’ very shortly – where you can ask and share expert tips on how to promote opportunities. The goal with Marketing University  is to become the web’s premier source of marketing knowledge.

So, all of you that are still debating about UPGRADING, I strongly recommend to do it ASAP. You have nothing to lose as you don`t need to refer anyone in order to earn money-  it is very easy to earn  Swom monthly membership only by communicating with Swom members. The only thing you have to avoid is spam….

What is your daily routine when it comes to working online?  How much time do you spend actually working vs. “playing”? I lost a lot of time online before I made a step by step plan, a daily working routine for myself.  So here is what I do each day:

First I check my e-mail and my traffic/sales statistics. I usually advertise my landing page, or my blog – I don`t want to waste my time  building someone else`s  list. For Swom I used their landing page as it converted very well. I use FREE VIRAL TRAFFIC BAR links ALWAYS as they give me 3 times the hits (as I already mentioned).  Then I decide where will I advertise for a day (aside from safelists) -  I am changing my traffic sources each day. Depending on where I advertise I write either an article, blog, classified or an ad. I usually paste the same article or safelist e-mail in 2 separate notepads. One is a plain text and the other is a HTML code. Both of them are opened at the same time on my desktop and both of them are already selected (the text inside is selected) so all I have to do is copy the text and paste it to wherever I am advertising (ctrl+c , ctrl+v).  I open my Online Traffic Bible and I start posting. I post to at least 200 places/day.

Next thing I do is I Login to Swom. I check the posts, I reply to some and I interact with people for a while. Then I add about 100 connections (I request 100 connections)/day. I post to free Swommers and encourage them to UPGRADE.

I check my Twitter account, if I have something to say I tweet for a while….  Afterwords I write a blog (not every day,lol) – I have 3 blogs at this time so it would  really be too much for me to write on all 3 every day. Occasionally I send an e-mail to my opt in list and that is it for a day. Then I have fun:  I research new traffic sources, I sign up for free things and test them, I read e-books about online marketing, I watch marketing courses….play on Facebook… Swom.

Recently we decided to make Online Traffic Bible as a referral program so I am very busy at the moment with that. I look forward to it and I can`t wait for it to be ready….so I can get back to my daily routine,lol.  For all of you who have purchased it, we will give you a free pass, so don`t worry, you will be able to market it and make money off of it. We have a great pay plan for you!!!!

Swom changed their pay plan. I personally think this is a better way to calculate commissions as it gives a fair chance to both : people who are good at referring others and to those who don`t know how to recruit yet. You can earn money in 3 different ways: by recruiting, by connection with members and helping them understand Swom better and by participating in Swom community!  Here is how it all works:

Referral Bonuses

You receive $15 for every new personal referral that upgrades to Gold membership, paid in the first month after they upgrade.

But that’s not all! You continue to receive $5 every month from the second month onwards for each of your Gold referrals – every month – as long as they remain Gold!

Example 1:
If you refer 10 gold members you will receive:

* 10 x $15.00 = $150.00 first month
* 10 x $5.00 = $50.00 every month thereafter*

Example 2:
If you refer 100 gold members you will receive:

* 100 x $15.00 = $1500.00 first month
* 100 x $5.00 = $500.00 every month thereafter*

* Qualification: Refer 10% new gold members to qualify. No requirements for first $25.

Tip: It’s a good idea to introduce yourself to each of your referrals. People are more likely to upgrade if they feel they have the support of their referrer (You).

‘Gold Evangelist’ Bonus Pool

Are you feeling evangelical about Swom Gold?

This is the perfect reward for those that love to connect with free members and help them see the light of Swom Gold membership! A whopping 20% of company-wide Gold membership commissions are paid into this bonus!

Here’s how it works – You may connect with new or existing free members and help them upgrade to Gold membership. To qualify you must send each of them at least one personal wall post message (not email) to help them upgrade to Gold. You message must be helpful and you must take care not to spam. Your message may contain your testimonial on Swom, its benefits or just a friendly offer to help them use Swom – it must contain the word ‘Gold’ and must not contain any other links/URL.

For every member that subsequently upgrades within 30 days of your message, you will automatically receive 10 shares in the ‘Gold Evangelist’ Bonus Pool!

This bonus pool will pay out along with other commissions on or around the 10th of each month. The value of each share will depend on number of Gold members company-wide and number of shares issued during that month. We provide a running estimate as a guide only but the final value will depend on the above.

The more Gold members there are, the more each share is likely to be worth! There are no limits on how many shares you can have. The more you help members upgrade, the more you earn!

Community Participation Bonus

Swom’s unique Community Participation Bonus pays an extraordinary 50% of company-wide Gold membership commissions into this bonus! This means that you can earn commissions month after month just for participating in what you love – the Swom social network!
What are Community Points?

To earn shares in the Community Participation Bonus Pool, you need community points. Community points are a rough measurement of how much contribution you have made towards the Swom community.

To gain community points, make new connections and interact positively with other Swom members. Have fun! Some actions will earn you community points, while others will allow you to ‘spend’ them:
make a new connection     +1
post a status update or wall message     +1
post a comment or reply     +1
refer a new member     +1
post a testimonial (if accepted)     +50
win community chest (you get a small chance of this every time you do any of the above)  -  between 5 – 100
post a message with a link/URL in it  -  Spend 5 points

You can earn a maximum of 200 community points per day (community chests are immune to this limit). Also, there are sometimes special competitions which will allow you to earn more.

On or around the 10th of each month, we add up the total number of community points earned by Gold members during that month. The amount that you earn depends on how many points you have and the size of the bonus pool. The more community points you have, the bigger apportion of the bonus pool you will get!

Tip: Your Community Score appears on your public profile and is a measure of your contribution to the Swom community. Having a higher score will give you better reputation within the Swom community.

How can I increase my commissions?

It’s easy to earn while having fun on Swom! Here’s what you can do to increase your monthly earnings:

Step 1: Promote Swom on the internet

The best way is to refer new members to Swom and help them upgrade to Gold. You will receive $15 in the first month for every Gold member and receive $5 every month thereafter – forever! As long as someone signs up using your referral link it does not matter whether they upgrade straight away or after six months – you will still get the instant and the ongoing referral bonuses each month.

Step 2: Connect with existing Free members

Another great way is to connect with existing free members on Swom – Explain to them the benefits of Gold membership and help them upgrade. You can then earn shares in the ‘Gold Evangelist’ Bonus Pool which can be lucrative!
Step 3: Participate in groups and conversations – but don’t Spam!

Swom is all about social networking. Connect with people, make lasting relationships and enjoy your time at Swom! By earning Community Points, you build up a great reputation at Swom and a loyal set of connections. Most professional marketers will agree that this alone is priceless but here at Swom we even pay you for having fun!

Now we all know how much of a headache managing affiliate links, user names and passwords can be. There are a few options that you can do to keep all those user names and passwords in one place.

One way is to write down all your user names and passwords in a thick notebook. A little old school, nonetheless it is effective and you don’t have to worry about a computer crash, hackers, trojans or the like.

Another way is to use an automatic password manager like Roboform. Roboform is a password manager and web form filler that completely automates password entering and form filling. One computer license will set you back $29.95 with a second license at $9.95. They also have a free version that you can try out that will limit you to ten passwords after thirty days. Personally I have never tried Roboform but I have heard nothing but good things about it.

Other automated ones I have heard of include Claria and Gator. But I have also seen reports of those two installing vicious things on your computer and have been a pain to uninstall. So personally I would recommend staying away from those two.

One more automated password manager I am going to briefly mention is Login King. That one costs $39.95.  Seems to work similar as to Roboform.  If you have any other suggestions please feel free to comment.

You can also cut, copy,paste and write all your affiliate links and passwords into a text file or Microsoft Word document. While maybe not nearly as neat and slick as an automated program, it works!

After losing two computers for various reasons you can only imagine the nightmare of trying to remember hundreds of usernames and passwords for sites. So we decided to create a simple excel file to store our usernames and passwords. Best of all we are going to share it with you absolutely free, no strings attached! We hope you find it useful.

For Microsoft Excel 97-2003 – Click Here – And save the file to your computer.
For Microsoft Excel 2004 + – Click Here – And save the file to your computer.

Now If you do not have Microsoft Office there is also a Free Office Suite that you can download at OpenOffice.org. There version of excel called Calc will open the 2004 + version above.

After you login to Swom, type in your browser http://www.swom.com/people (you must be
logged in!!) A new window will open with Recent Members and you can be first to connect with them Thanks Sebastian Sutor for the tip!
