I got 5 greens and 3 yellows and 3 reds. Wanna know how I did it?

I sold the product, not the free iPod! I basically looked at it from the aspect of the iPod is a comission for me, and that they can also take advantage of the reward, if they try something that they are interested in.

But when I presented, I presented it as a great portal for good products. The value of the trials actually get people to try them. I had much success this way.

How do you guys get so many people to sign up? I've gotten five referrals and it took me forever to get them. Two were rejected and now I'm having hell getting two or three more. Unfortunately, all my friends and family are dipshits. None of them even know what an iPod is. I have maybe four of five yellows (mostly from co-workers) but all are telling me that they do not plan on completing an offer. They just wanted to take a look at the site. (

Oh, I ordered my ipod after i got 5, but since then 7 more yellows turned green. I hope that is enough greens to get a damned iPod!

Still counting!

39 yellows and no greens...

did anyone get a big flux of yellows like this, and then over the next few weeks see some greens starting appearing from some of your older referrals?

how do you guys get so many referrals? I tried posting on forums but everyone just thinks its a scam and spam even though I give them proof that its legit....So far i have 10 yellows 0 green....

I thought I would bring back this post since I'm finally getting up there. I read this post a while ago, but I didn't have anything substantial.

As of now I have 48 yellows and not one green.

I should maybe try getting people I know to sign up and not just anonymous people.

update 149 yellows...two greens!

If you are getting that many yellows, that would tell me one of three things

1) You are not explaining the system well enough. People are signing up and deciding it's not worth their time.

2) You are pandering to children (usually the case) who don't have a credit card.

3) Your target audience is outside of the United States.

I agree with Ray. Have you been sending follow-up e-mails to the people? What I did for my FFS was sell them on the value of the trial offer. I tried to go the strategy of selling them on a good trial offer, with a bonus of earning a Free TV. It also sells it as a more legitimate service. When you pitch it as "just sign up for an offer and cancel in a week", it sounds shady and people shy away from it.

Talk about how good a couple of the offers are. Make stuff up. Tell them you LOVED the Boca Java, even if you didn't do it.

Also, load the e-mail with links to proof. Link to pictures that show packing slips, with Gratis as the Billed Party.

Well actually, what I did was sent an e-mail with that picture of Ray posing with his iPod, that he doesn't have yet...and the e-mail said

"get a free iPod like this guy did!!!"

for some reason people aren't completeing offers...

Heh, actually, I know that many more than 5 have completed offers over the last 2 weeks, many just awaiting credit.

First thing I did was totally forget even posting my referral link to the internet. I started this under 2 weeks ago I am stv 10/13

I actually have NEVER posted my referral online. I simply hit up family friends and co workers (family is ok at DIFFERENT addresses but not ok at same address I asked first)

My dad did one. 3 employees at work did one and 2 friends did one and 1 employee from my second job did one.

I have 5 greens and 1 yellow. for some reasons the 6th yellow never went green. I know he completed the offer because he already has the shipment -) no big deal I got the 5. I have 3 reds. one was when I sent a referral link to myself (wanted to see what people were going to get) and the other 2 were me mistyping the address of a person I was referring.

so everyone I signed up completed and offer cause I did not sign them up unless I knew they were going to complete an offer. why waste my time.

keep is simply. get family at different addresses. get friends. co workers etc..

even offer to guarentee it for them. agree to pay them back for there offer if they feel they got ripped off etc.. IE if they are not satisfied etc..

I told the one co worker. if you don't like the ink I will buy it from you. so he had nothing to lose (the ink works great by the way he is going to continue ordering from my inks. the little freebies are a nice touch too !!) he got a gold plated half dollar 10pk of CDR's and a free year of cargo with his last order of ink AND the ink was less than HALF what it costs in retail stores !! not a bad deal at all !!

I might even place an order just to get some of the neato freebies -) as he would not give up the gold coin Grrr -)

as of now (and i just got another green like 5 minutes ago...i love you podwatch) 144 yellows and 3 greens. i just sent out follow up emails recently from advice on this board and it seems to be paying off. 2 people have emailed me back saying they already did complete offers but i havent seen their yellows turn green. as far as referring my family, they aren't that tech savvy. my mom calls me and asks why she cant get her email when shes not connected (on her 28.8 dialup mind you). i made a webpage and it seems to be working as its on a pretty popular site. so yeah, heres hoping i get 2 more really soon.
