Action Step #1 (necessary)
We have already opened an account for you with Mortgage101 as part of your Web Home's setup
process. They provide the content for your "Mortgage Information" and "Mortgage Calculator" pages.
However, your part is to specify your "Preferred Partners" and add them to the directory they have provided. To
do this, click on [ Member Login] and then click " Add New Listing" in the " My Directory" section.
Now, let your partners know that you have put them into your directory and ask them to put link in their web site pointing
to yours!
We chose Mortgage101 because, if you can generate an average of 10 page views
every day to your Mortgage101 pages, they will automatically include your web
site in their National Realtor Directory. This is free, high quality, targeted traffic.
See Action Step #3 (Traffic Swarm) and Step #4 (NoMoreHits)
for ideas on how to do this with little additional effort.

Action Step #3 (recommended)
Traffic Swarm is a traffic exchange that enables it's members to swap links and visits. In simplest terms, you agree
to check out sites belonging to fellow members and in return they send you traffic.
Each time you click on a member’s site you earn “credits”. These credits earn you the right to have
your link posted on the TrafficSwarm network, thereby generating traffic to your site.
The result is a steady flow of targeted and pre-qualified visitors to YOUR site – and everyone else’s
site in the network.

Action Step #4 (recommended)
NoMoreHits is a very popular "Start Page Exchange" with over 110,000 members offering a 2:1
display ratio. This is just one method you can use to generate the 10 page views needed
to qualify for visibility in Mortgage101's National Directory!
Here's how NoMoreHits works. Whenever you open your web browser, you are shown an
initial "Start Page". You have the ability to change this Start Page to any web page you want to see first when you open
your browser.
When you join NoMoreHits they give you a special URL to specify as your Start Page. Then,
whenever you open your browser, you will see someone else's web page (and view it for at least 15 seconds).
In turn, someone else will eventually see your web page. Since NoMoreHits offers a 2:1
ratio, you need to view 20 pages to generate 10 views of your Mortage101.com web page.
You could enlist the help of your family & friends by asking them to put the same NoMoreHits
Start Page URL into their browsers, or you could sign them up as members and benefit from a portion of their activity.

Get Your Own "800" Number
Perhaps you have thought about getting a toll-free ("800") number. It certainly encourages potential customers
to call you, especially if they live in distant states. Here are two solutions:
Option #1: Go to AT&T's Toll Free Service page and check on the availability of any particular toll-free number(s) you might want. AT&T charges 6.5
cents per minute for incoming calls plus $10/month. You can specify a phone number to which
your calls are to be directed (it costs more if it is a cell phone).
Option #2: Check out MetroCall's OneConnect Flat service. For about $40/month, you get your own toll-free number with unlimited
inbound minutes and a two way pager to alert you when you have messages or faxes waiting. Call Terry at (877) 235-2310
for details.
