Don’t buy guaranteed signups…
unless you do it smart
or you’re just wasting money
Everyone is selling guaranteed signups. There aren’t
many actual Providers – but there are thousands of
resellers, all selling the same thing.
If you buy signups - but you buy them for the wrong
program, you are only wasting money. Sorry, but that's
the plain truth. Buying signups for some programs will
only hurt you.
I’m going to share with you a huge secret, something
I’ve been holding on to for well over a year. A secret
that everyone buying signups should know.
How do I have this secret? Because I provide a signups
service – I’ve seen failure and I’ve seen success. I’m
going to break my silence and share with you the
“success secret.”
Working smart – that’s what it is all about, right?
Part of “working smart” means spending your money
wisely – but you already know this. At least I hope
you already do.
First, let’s define “guaranteed signups.”
Guaranteed signup – an actual person that is put in
your downline, guaranteed by the Provider. But, only
for free-to-join programs.
Now, what I’m going to explain to you below may
hurt my own business. I’ve thought hard about this.
However, you all need to know it – I’m tired of seeing
people waste their money on certain programs.
Sure, I like it when a sale comes in. But I don’t want
the client wasting their money. I’m in the advertising
business. That’s all I do - provide advertising. Yes,
I’m online to make money, but I also want to help
people. Much better feeling at the end of the day when
you know you have helped another.
I’m going to share with you a couple of “DON’Ts”.
This isn’t the “huge” secret I referred to above. This
is simply me sharing with you some common sense you
should incorporate when buying signups. The “huge”
secret is still to come.
Don’t Buy Signups For the Following:
=> Programs that say you’ll make money for every free
member you bring in under you, regardless of your own
membership status (paid or free).
Why do I say you should do this? I’ve been selling
signups for almost three years – and I’ve been online
marketing for many more. I’ve seen all the programs out
there promising you money for every free member in your
downline – only to see them: (1) change their policy
before they are required to pay you; and/or (2) close
their site and avoid paying the members.
Read the terms/conditions in your member’s area and do
it often. Actually, you should do that for all affiliate
and MLM programs you are in.
The above is only my recommendation. I recommend this
because my first year of providing signups I had a client
that invested almost $1,000 buying signups to a program
that promised her $10 for every free member she brought in.
The signup could be a free signup and she wasn’t even
required to be an upgraded member (paid member for only
$10) to receive this money.
I signed up out of curiosity and what I saw amazed me! They
changed their policies ALWAYS before payment was due.
Then they implemented audits. Then after about a year –
they disappeared. Go figure! Not one person paid.
My heart went out to her!
She invested money in advertising by buying signups and
played the percentage game – only to get burned in the end.
=> Don’t buy signups for "MLM" programs that allow you no
access.
What do I mean? If the program doesn’t allow you access to
your signups - your downline members, then you're wasting
your time. If you can’t email them to encourage them to
upgrade, or encourage them to get involved with the program
or offer them help of any kind, then don’t do it.
You have to work the program to make it work for you. If
you can't access your downline - you can't work the program.
=> Be cautious of buying signups for Casino Affiliate
Programs!
Spend the time to read their terms and conditions. These
programs have strict guidelines. If you don't follow them,
you'll not be rewarded. Actually, this is true for any
program.
Now for some other “DON’Ts”
**Don’t expect your signups to be delivered overnight.
85% of the time that should not happen. If it does, you
may want to question it. There are always exceptions to
this - like if the program is brand spankin' new.
**Don't ever pay for duplicate signups. If your Provider
does not give you credit for duplicates, demand it and
don't buy from them again.
**Don't ever pay for bad email signups. Now, I'm not
referring to "mailbox full" signups. I'm referring to
"This email address is not known" signups. Demand credit
for it. If they won't give you credit, don't buy from
them again.
**Don't blame the Provider if you lose your membership
status simply because you bought signups. Some program
owners actually buy their own signups to resell to their members.
Again, READ TERMS & Conditions of your programs! You
can actually lose membership status in some programs if you
buy signups.
Here’s the HUGE SECRET…ready??
I'm going to share with you what type of program you
should buy signups for. These are the programs I have
seen pull results for the client and me personally.
Here goes...
If you are in a program that rewards you with free
advertising for every member you bring in under you...
THAT IS The Program You Need To Buy Signups For!
Ok, I'm not saying DON'T buy signups for other programs.
There are TONS of programs out there you can buy signups
for that will bring you success.
But I am saying - you can see immediate results from
buying signups to programs that give you free advertising
for every downline member you bring in.
Let me give you an example of what I do.
I'm in several (that's an understatement) surf exchange
programs. I don't have the time to surf. I've actually
thought about buying a cheap computer solely for surf
exchange programs. Yes, I'm very strange.
So this is how I work my surf exchange programs. I build
my downlines and let them do the work for me. For every
new member I bring in, I get free credits. For every
site they surf (visit) I get free credits.
I am a member of one program where I consistently have
over 100,000 free credits every month. My own sites are
being advertised over and over in all these exchange
programs - and I'm not doing any actual surfing.
Now that's only ONE example. I'm online to sell advertising,
to provide services for others. I no longer have time for
affiliate or MLM programs. BUT, I do signup for most affiliate
programs that reward me with free advertising. Surf exchange
is only one example.
There are many DO's and DON'Ts when buying signups and I've
only scratched the surface. But I hope the points I've touched on
will help you when considering buying signups.
You have to remember to work smart and spend your money
wisely - or you’re defeating the whole purpose of being an
online marketer.
Work hard... work long... but always work smart!
And, Enjoy The Ride!
