The best way to give someone
your referral information is by email. Obviously I am not telling you to spam. Just
use an email to get the information and links to a friend that you have talked to about
the adstream concept. This will prevent typing in the wrong referral info or web
address etc.
How do you get the search
engines to send you traffic? Here are some links to learn some of the ins and
outs of search engines and meta tags. These are just sites I found and bookmarked
because they helped me.
TIP THREE:
Offline ideas.
When advertising offline you will be requiring a prospective member to type in a URL to
access your information. You will want a short webpage address to make it easy to
remember and to type in. It is FREE to get an address that will redirect to your
longer named site. You will get an address like
http://fly-over.to/yourname or http://surf-now.to/John_Doe

your free redirect address.
So far you have not had to
spend one thin dime. To advertise offline you will have to spend a few dollars on
copying, business cards, or running ads. I recommend keeping your flyers short and
simple. All you want to do with a flyer or business card or ad is to get a prospect
interested enough to go to your website. Do not try to sell the whole program on the
flyer. Emphasize the fact that it is free, no obligation, and you can make lots of
money.
You should have business
cards made with a brief message and your URL. here is a link to iPrint.com which I have used for designing and ordering business
cards. They also have many other products from coffee mugs to T-shirts and sticky
notes that would make good advertising ideas.
You can make pull-tab
posters to put up on bulletin boards where the public is allowed to post items for sale
etc. Two excellent places to concentrate your efforts are computer shows and college
campuses.
There are many low cost or
even no cost advertising circulars out there. Maybe a student newspaper at your
local college or high school. Perhaps the "pennysaver" ads or coupon
mass-mailings you have gotten in the mail.
Anyplace where people must
wait is a prime location for flyers and posters. Examples are auto repair shops,
doctor or dentist office, bus stops and train stations. Best to ask if you can leave
a few fliers and most will have no problem with it.
When you pay your bills
enclose a business card because somebody opens that mail. Get pencils and pens
imprinted with your URL. When a telemarketer calls give them your URL!
SUMMARY
Only you can decide which
method or methods work best for you. I tried some things that just did not work for
me, yet!
Remember "If you
believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't.
Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad."

I firmly believe that
building a nice downline will be getting easier now that the checks are being issued to
members. The sooner you get a downline started the more time it has to multiply.
