Getting Referrals
Acquiring referrals is often considered the hardest part in obtaining your free gift, however, depending on the methods you use and develop, referral gaining can be relatively easy. Below are just a few of the methods that have gained freebie hunters those all-important referrals in the past.
*Family / Friends / Colleagues
This is often considered the easiest and most successful source for gaining referrals.
*Blogs / Myspace / Facebook / Forums / E-mail signatures
Post your referral link where appropriate, but refrain from spamming. If you are found to be spamming, your account will be put on hold indefinately. If you already have a blog, great! Just post your link and watch the greens roll in.
*Trading
There are two types of trade. These are green for green (aka referral for referral), or green for cash (aka referral for cash). A green for green trade consists of someone signing up and completing an offer for you, and vice versa. A green for cash trade involves trading payment of usually around £5 to £10 via paypal for a referral. Listed below are links to websites & forums that host trading. Please click to view.
*Conga Lines
Conga Lines are a great free way to get referrals - there is always one Conga Leader, and others sign up under the Conga Leader to join the Conga Line. Once the Conga Leader gets his/her referrals, the next person under him/her becomes the new Conga Leader.
*Flyers / posters / business cards
Buy or print them at home, and distribute/leave them in appropriate places e.g. school, work, college, car boot sales etc.
