Wayne,

I couldn’t agree more about transparency.

However, please keep in mind, we intend on being ‘purposefully’ quite about a lot of the ’specifics’ of theTRAFFICplan while we complete our development efforts between now and June 15th. Mainly for two reasons:

1) like any business, we are swamped with preparatory work to ensure we meet our deadline for launch, (which is approaching QUICKLY!)

AND

2) we have to be careful not to devulge too much prior to launch due to competitive reasons.

One thing that makes this launch (and prelaunch) different from everything else out there is that we are not boasting this is a ‘get rich quick’ scheme where you will learn everything in the next 24 hours and become a millionaire overnight.

Plus, as stated on our official blog, this truly is a REAL “prelaunch”. While you, and all our other master affiliates have secured a membership in theTRAFFICplan as of June 15th, what you are currently getting an opportunity to do as a master affiliate is two fold:

1) sell, on an affiliate basis, a ticket to a PRIVATE VIP coaching call titled “Web 3.0 | Social Profit Streams, which is also tied to our launch. This Private VIP call has many benefits associated with it, beyond just the call itself, although we believe the content alone will be worth it, AND

2) due to the technology we have put in place, everyone that opts into your SocialProfitStreams capture page (whether they purchase a ticket or not) is automatically tagged to you as a member of theTRAFFICplan, which you will have an opportunity to monetize later (more to follow on that as we get closer to launch)

That said, you, and our other Master Affiliates that caught the vision early are TRULY receiving a REAL opportunity in a PRELAUNCH phase. As you know, PreLaunch typically means that a biz opp comes to market with a product (launches) and then says to the first people that show up/sign up/pay up that they are in the “prelaunch” phase. This typically just means that they are first to pony up the money and take the risk of bringing the solution to market in hopes it ‘works’

With our prelaunch, although we have purposefully given few details about theTRAFFICplan (the final solution), it’s because we are being cautious to not allow someone else to start developing a competing mindset and solution before we have a chance to enter the ‘blue ocean’ together

We believe we are really onto something special here, and we also believe that “first to market” positioning will be important for many reasons, not only today, but strategically for the long term as well. As a matter of fact, we have already let much to much out of the bag.

All that said, thanks for sharing in our vision, thanks for doing such a great job communicating the vision, and thanks for being such a professional and bringing your “A” Game to the concept of “Social Profit Streams” and the vehicle to be known as “theTRAFFICplan”. With Ambassadors such as yourself at the helm, success is all but certain.

I am honored to have you, and the rest of our Master Affiliates on our team sharing this vision.

On another note, one thing that is becoming more certain to me is that we are already seeing many signs of our vision becoming a reality. The web 2.0 business model of old is almost over. Two shining examples of that are this:

1) Facebook is already looking for another capital raise. What does this mean? Bottom line, they don’t have enough cash to operate the business and make the necessary capital investments beyond what’s already in place today. Not only that, but because they are not acheiving the expected ‘advertising’ dollars, their initial valuation of about $10 - $15 Billion is being revised downward to only about 2 - 3 Billion. While that may still seem like a lot to most people (anything with a “B” in it is BIG), it’s actually quite telling about the future…think about it…in the most recent 8 months, Facebook has doubled its user base (100M to 200M users). When it was originally valued at 15 Billion, it had less than 100M users, and now, with more than 200M users, it is apparently worth 1/5th the amount and needs more cash to operate???

Also…

2) a well known widget builder, Sprout Builder, has decided to no longer offer FREE accounts for widget developers!

They are now moving to a monthly subscription model!!!

This had groundbreaking implications that will send shudders through the social media space advertising and marketing space within the next 24 months, much like the demise of the Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) market did. You see, it took the ‘markets’ about 24 months to actually believe and digest the seriousness of the MBS market failure (I predicted the extent of that mortgage mess partly because I was in that business), and I believe we are starting to witness history repeat itself as it did with Web 1.0 when valuations were outrageous without a business model to support them, other than fantasy. As a former CPA and CFO, I witnessed plenty of that in the late 90s’.

But put away any fears…this is where the HUGE Blue Ocean of opportunity lies…

This doesn’t mean the end of social media…I just believe it predicts the end of how social media monetizes itself.

To me it’s clear…

The next logical step for Social Media and other traditional businesses to monetize themselves in the future will be determined by how effective they can plug into and leverage this new distribution channel we are coining, “Social Profit Streams”.

That’s where YOU and our affiliates come in…

Those that position themselves with the right tools, technologies and methodologies, and align with individuals that have a track record of success in successfully executing their vision, will be PREPARED for the marketing OPPORTUNITY that will inevitably present itself in the near future.

As the old saying goes, LUCK is when OPPORTUNITY meets with PREPARATION.

This isn’t a get rich quick scheme like most other home based businesses, but theTRAFFICplan, on its own, or tied together with any other product or service you sell, can and will provide a way to create wealth and ‘get rich’ for anyone that’s willing to put in the desired effort and catches the vision early enough.

Truth is, many in the blue ocean, don’t care about becoming rich and just want a little extra income to increase the quality of their lives. They just want enough extra to make the ‘boat payment’ or ‘annual vacation’ without breaking the bank, so they can enjoy the weekend with their friends and families.

What is to come as a new way of doing business in the near future will provide them just that…the opportunity to either make the “boat payment”, or create significant wealth and live a lifesytle few get a chance to do.

That will inevitably be up to them…either way, I am thrilled to be a part of it, and hope you will be too.

Best,
Bob DeCecco
