Im finding this really hard....

lukedobbins · 03-02-09, 11:25 AM

Im sure everyone find it hard and I shouldnt be moaning.

But I have been at this for a week now, and it has become like a minor obsession on my part.

I started this last Thursday I think, so it has been a week and I have been trying every method possible, I have made youtube videos, made a website and put it out on a few sites like linkreferral.com and a few others places which are supposed to get the site exposure.

I have asked multiple friends and family, some friends are under 18 and cannot get use of their mum or dads credit card, other family members are simply afraid to give out their details, and some others simply just cannot be bothered to do it!

So far I have 3 reds, 1 is someone I know who is already doing an offer and the other 2 I have no idea who they are and cannot get in contact with them to see if they have done an offer.

Its just getting a little frustrating, and the fact I need 21 people just makes it seem even harder. It also doesnt help when I see other people piling in greens.

Everyone is struggling at the moment, and many have been struggling for much longer than a week!! Just keep at it and try to think outside the box for a method and keep an eye out for any potential methods. Think about how you came to sign up and try and copy that.

I hate it when people say that

About 95% of eXceem are not "piling in the greens". (Nothing against you btw, loads of people have said it and loads more will in the future)

Anyway, you've only been going for a week - if you are going to get 21 greens you are going to be going for a lot longer than that. Look at lucio, until the xmas competition he had never recieved a freebie - he's been ' freebie hunting' for 2 years!

There isn't a magic method that will drop 21 greens in your account in a second - its a long, hard process. And even if someone did have that sort of method, they wouldn't tell you - it would mean less greenage for them!

Don't lose heart though, keep doing what you are doing, try and think of new and unique ways to get a lot of visitors to your site - and whatever you do, don't resort to underhand tactics (Like spamming boards, or making "hack" videos on youtube) because you'll get caught and all your previous effort would have been wasted!

Good luck on your tv

Well I dont know but on youtube I have heard people say they have had about 7 greens in the past week, I have geard this in other places as well.

I kind of knew this was a silly thread to make, I suppose I just wanted to vent my frustrations.

Its just that people are so annoying when trying to get them to do an offer, its allways a scam.......or they cant be bothered. My god people are lazy these days.

Oh, how do I apply for the trade section btw?

LiamGTR · 03-02-09, 01:26 PM

Get some trades going,

My bet is that they are lying, in an attempt to get people to sign up under them in return for their "method".

Once you've made 5 worthwhile posts (i.e. Not just saying "LOL!!!!") and have been a member for 5 days you can apply (I think you PM Jon)

Ah ok, ill PM Jon then.

Think ill start making some trades, join a conga line or a train.

LiamGTR · 03-02-09, 02:01 PM

A conga MAY not be the best way for you as you seem to want greens now and they can take a few month if there are many people before you...?

Hmm thats what I thought, but it could benefit me at a future date, and the sooner I join one then the sooner I would get them.

But I think for now, I want at least 3 greens to boost my confidence and motivation. So far I have one confirmed green. I have yet to hear from the other two people. It could be that they have completed an offer but it is pending.

Given you rep for that,as its nice to see people give honest advice. You could have encouraged him to join a conga, in a hope that he would join one of the ones in your sig, but you gave some proper useful advice.

Its unlikely that they've gone green, if you haven't heard from them. I've got a ratio of signups:green of 1:40

Couldn't speak for everyone, but its not disasterous.

I made a website and added it to forums that has seemed to help me so far.

Directories indexing my site seems to help with visitors also.

Added it to forums in your signature there?

On one forum im a member of, it got deleted. On another, people thought it was a scam and I got totally ganged up on by everyone there. People were accusing me of scamming, and thought I was stupid for believeing in it.

Doesnt matter how long it takes, when I get it, im going to post a big fat picture of my new tv on the forum :@

You will get it!

Try also adding your site onto topsites and speak with people on website chatboxes explaining that your site can help them get free stuff.

Anytime mate, I was sort of expecting the OPPOSITE to what you just said, if anything I was expecting people to jump on my back and beat me with a stick for suggesting a conga may not be the best way for him!

Oh no I really appreciate it, im sure a lot of people would have told me the opposite.

One last bit of advice I would like to seek, eventually with all the mehtods I have tried and have going now. Will I eventually get to 21 referrals do you think?

I am sorry about all this btw, obviously I am new to all this and I am just trying to seek some kind of info to know what to expect from it and such.

LiamGTR · 03-02-09, 02:57 PM

You will, but it takes time, i've been here about 3 months now and only managed 2 greens but i'm on 3 conga's so that should hopefully go up given time.

mcgrou · 03-02-09, 02:58 PM

Putting your site on linkreferral alone won't get you anywhere, you've got to think of better advertising methods.

rollingsta · 03-02-09, 03:09 PM

Ipod.GA conga has only 2 people in the queue.
