Incentive marketing No Comments »

This Article will act more of a guide on how to most effectively start your Referral Trading business, or freebie trading. By the end of this article, you will have all the steps needed presented to you in plain text. I aim to cover this from starting out to eventually branching off to quitting your day job (don’t do that just yet). While reading this, I will have links to other posts that I have made, I recommend reading every one of them. I promise they are completely relevant, and important. This business requires new comers like you to do the same things we all did to get to this point. You CANNOT just start paying referrals without first, getting paid to do referrals. So let’s quit rambling, and start.

When you have successfully acquired all of those we can get started selling referrals.

Selling

This is where the magic happens, this is the starting point for ALL freebie or referral traders. You must play the role of newbie and complete at least 10 trades. To do this, you complete freebie sites for other people, that you find on the free lunch room forums. Everytime you complete a trade, you get a feedback point, a positive one hopefully. Your goal is to reach a trade record of 10 before you start paying for referrals. To do this, follow my selling guide closely to green. I recommend to do business through the free lunch room forums. My guide will explain what you need to do.

You’ll probably find selling your valuable ref to be fantastic at first. Soon, all will not be well, you’ll notice every single freebie site harbors most, if not the exact, same offers. You can only complete any given offer once, so if you complete a freecreditreport credit on freebiemonster.net you cannot complete the same offer on freeforallmankind.com, choose your offers wisely. You quickly run out of free or low cost offers ($1-$5), soon they become $10-$20 offers, which can really cut into your profit, fear not though, I have the solution. You can find your safe haven in trading referral for referral on the free lunch room forums.

Referral for Referral Trades

I will admit, this will not be as fun as flat out selling your referrals. Here is why you should start trading referrals instead of selling them when your offer prices begin to exceed your profits. By offering to complete a freebie site for someone else in exchange for them to do the same, you keep all of the profits, you do not have to sell half of your cash outs to referrals. It’s so much easier to find referral for referral trades also. Here’s the catch, it relies on your partner to be dependable, now I wouldn’t worry about getting ripped off, most people on FLR care so much about their reputation they’ll do anything to make sure it’s safe. So, if worse comes to worse and you hold up your end of the deal but they don’t, you can work it out a payment from them most of the time. Threaten them with negative feedback if not. NEVER TRADE WITH SOMEONE THAT HAS A LOW TR. I can’t stress that enough! never trade with someone that has negative feedback or a low TR, you are putting yourself at serious risk of scam. If you want to start trading referrals for referrals, log in to your freelunch room account, then navigate to the “G4G trades, or trading referrals for referral trades” forum and find someone who has an equal site as you do, you can tell by the credit weights and cash prizes. Just make it as even as possible, you don’t want to get ripped off, and you don’t want to rip anyone off. Continue to trade referrals for referrals until your trade record hits 10 or above (the higher the better). This part of your process will take considerably longer, but will be entirely worth it! By now you should have a good selection of sites for you to start marketing your referrals with. Now let’s talk about setting up a trade thread in the paying for referrals section.

Paying for Referrals

In this section, I will go over, how to start your work flow in paying for referrals. First read my detailed guide on the subject here:

After following those steps and reading that guide you should have a pretty good idea of what paying for referrals is all about. The single, hardest thing to do is wait. When I first started, the free lunch room was at a decline. Everyone was experiencing a drop in referrals, but since then, it has steadily increased. Though this was covered in the article above, I find it bears reinforcement, and that topic is stickies. In order to receive a sticky you must pay $50 on the free lunch room forums and get verified. When you are verified find the official sticky thread, and find out the next date they are taking orders. Stickies are VERY competitive, so you most likely want to order one as FAST as POSSIBLE. The great thing about stickies is that it holds your trade thread at the top of the paying for referrals forum. This increases your exposure TREMENDOUSLY. I recommend clearing your schedule for the whole 3 days your stickies are scheduled. You will be busy, making a good deal of cash. You can search the free lunch room forums and find some amazing sticky success stories. However, I don’t recommend purchasing a sticky until your TR reaches 20, I believe when you reach a trade record of 20 you will have a grasp on how freebie trading works. For the last two sections of this directive article I am going to use one of them to link you to other resources found here, and then I will share a very realistic revenue model based on my personal experience. I will continue to update this model, and eventually dedicate an entire post to it. So I will now lead you through some other things that are important but not entirely relevant to the purpose of this article.
