Most people have a hard time getting referrals to whatever site they are promoting…yet I can easily bring in hundreds of people to my sites.
I have already brought in 611 Active Members to The Easy Commisison Funnel as you can see:
HOW DO I DO IT?
The simple truth is that people need certain things to be motivated to join a site AND they need to understand how it works. Today I want to delve a bit deeper into these topics.
What Motivates People To Join A Site?
Usually it happens when they see information that relates to a goal they are working on, or want to work on. There needs to be some kind of “connection”.
For example, read these 2 sentences:
Click Here to Join The Easy Commission Funnel
Which of these 2 sentences would motivate you more to join?
Chances are the second one is more motivating.
Maybe neither motivate you though…… Maybe you are someone who thinks using free sites is a waste of time! If that is how you feel then there is no connection with this information.
How about this sentence?:
The Easy Commission Funnel provides you a single site that generates money for you. It paid me $37.50 the first week I used it (that was from just 1 of the 6 sources of income). The system takes about 10 minutes to set up, builds you a list, automates 80% of the work, and provides the necessary traffic to get you hundreds of members that join you and take action. It also provides you with training and support to make using the system easy. Not to mention it is founded by a top affiliate marketer who actually knows how to do it and teaches you his exact methods. CLICK HERE TO JOIN
Now think about WHY these 3 sentences are different.
The answer is INFORMATION. The 3rd sentence explains much more than the first one. And the fifth sentence shares more.
Why is this important to understand?
When you share a referral link for a site directly on a traffic site you are using the equivelent of the first sentence. The site homepage usually doesn’t explain very much at all.
I use the equivelent to the last sentence.
That is the difference, and this is why I can get so many referrals.
What Else Motivates People To Join A Site?
In this online world environment there are a LOT of scams and false information. People want to see the PROOF that you are earning what you say you are.
Providing screenshots of earning really helps people to see you are telling the truth. Especially when you say things like you are earning $1.45 for a single ad click as I did above. You need to provide the proof of things like that or people will simply not believe it is true.
Here is a screenshot showing that I just got paid $37.50 from 3 hits to the site! (Again, one of the 6 sources of income!)
Do you see how these screenshots help to provide the proof that this site offers a lot more than most free sites?
Sharing proof like this makes people think differently about a site and can often make them curious enough to want to try it out.
What Stops People From Using A Site?
After people join a site, they can often stop using it, or never actually start.
In my experience there are 4 main reasons for this:
- They joined a site while surfing on traffic sites with the intention of checking it out later – they were busy earning ad credits when they joined. Later never comes or they don’t even remember the site they joined.
- They do not understand how to use the site. They log in and don’t know what to do next.
- They start earning and only make a small amount. They give up thinking it is not worth the time and effort.
- They think it is not going to pay them.
To avoid these issues you need to do the following:
- Stop sharing referral links directly on traffic sites. It is usually a complete waste of your time.
- Provide step by step guidance on how to actually use the site. SHOW people what they need to do.
- Explain AND show how earning on this site can build up over time AND provide guidance on what to do to achieve that.
- Provide the proof that you got paid. Also provide guidance on using various payment options if you can.
If I didn’t explain certain things about The Easy Commission Funnel then I would likely get lots of people joining but not actually using it. For example it is really important that my referrals understand what happens in the beginning……. you set up your funnel, join the affiliate sites connected with the funnel, and start promoting. Slowly new members join and go thru the email sequence that is set up during step 2. I use step 6 and 7 to get faster joins after I am comfortable with the system.) As we add new programs, you can offer more solutions to your funnel members and make more moeny. For example, we are very excittied to add Fast Forced Profits to the Funnel soon. This sytem offers advertising that gets me more clicks and new joins.
Again, it is all about showing the simplicity of the system, how the system does not take much time or know-how to set up and that it is 80% autmated. The more I share the more “targeted” people take action.
Now if this post was just about The Easy Commission Funnel I would provide a lot more guidance on actually using the site. What people don’t know is that when they become a Free Member I provide them simple video oversight messages that help them and avoid them from getting lost and then not use the system. I don’t want that for me or for them. We both end up losing money when that happens.
Providing information like this can really make the difference between getting active or inactive referrals.
The more someone understands how to actually use a site the more likely they are to use it…….so you should make it as easy as possible for people to know what to do.
DO NOT assume anything and explain EVERY SINGLE STEP.
How To Provide The Right Information
It is important that you provide the right kind of information when you want to get referrals. You need to take the time to think about what would motivate someone to join a specific site. Things like:
- It is easy to use
- It works in specific countries
- It pays more than other similar sites
- There are ways to build income that are different to other sites
- It actually pays
- There is a low payment threshold
If you exaggerate the earnings, or don’t explain how to reach higher level earnings then people might join, but won’t stay.
You need to be truthful or you just get a reputation for being dishonest and then no-one will join your sites. Its really not worth it…… Instead be very clear about what they should expect from step 1. One of the best ways to provide this is to document your own experience.
When someone joins and experiences the same thing as you did it reassures them. It also builds trust. People want to know what is real and what is not.
That first experience is really important. When you join a site for the first time yourself then learn to document what happened for you. Take screenshots of everything that happens so you can share them with others. Take a few notes too. This will make it easier to explain to others.
How To Provide the Information
As you can see, this blog post has given me the perfect platform to provide lots of the diferent types of information that is required to get referrals. It gave me the space to explain more about how to get referrals (and will probably get me some referrals for the Easy Commission Funnel at the same time even though that was not exactly the point of it).
