How to turn Reds into Greens

Sachmo_51_6 · 25-05-09, 05:45 PM

Okay, so I've got 7 people (who I don't know, and live in America) to sign up to kudosnetwork using my link, none of them have completed an offer so far (it has only been a few days though).

Does anyone have any suggestions for encouraging them to complete an offer? I sent them all a nice friendly email telling them how to go about the next step (trying to get them to complete an offer, without pressuring them), but so far no joy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have a quick search on the forum there are plenty of threads that are exactly the same as yours. However the most common way is sending an email, there are templates if again you have a search. Alternatively you may offer to pay people to complete offers for you. E.g. pay them £10 to do the Coral offer etc.

Apologies for asking the same question as many others...I was a bit intimidated by 11+ pages of threads- mods, feel free to delete this thread since the question has been answered elsewhere.

I had a look at the email templates, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the email I sent out this morning was in many ways similar to the templates (which are authored by Schism I think) different wording obviously, but general arrangement was the same: congratulations, what to do next, get on with it quickly etc.

If my emails get results I will post my own template on this site (fingers crossed they will!)

That's ok I'm glad you found what you were looking for. Good luck!

How often is a good timeframe to send out repeat emails?
I'm currently sending 1 per week to people who have signed up but not completed an offer, is this to much? Should I leave it at least two weeks and longer?

Yes this is far too much you're basically spamming them. Don't send them anymore.

Ok, sorry, lesson learned

To be honest, from my experience (which isn't that much at the moment). If they don't do an offer within a few days, they are unlikely to do one at all. I'd focus more on getting new people to sign up and complete offers than sending loads of emails to people who aren't going to complete an offer- better use of your time in my opinion.

joannakay · 29-05-09, 02:09 PM

yeah i agree, only about 1 in 20 complete an offer so your better off trying to get loads of sign ups.

Sachmo_51_6 · 29-05-09, 02:19 PM

It's really easy to get loads of sign ups, especially using a website/YouTube.

If you don't know the people who sign up, maybe send them one email as in introduction/what to do next (search for 'Email Template' on the forum) but leave it at that- they're not going to be convinced by a complete stranger telling them to sign up (and if they feel like you're pressuring them, even more so).

If you know the people who have signed up but haven't completed an offer, pester them on MSN/Facebook/by phone (but not too much, if they ask you to stop, do it!) find out why they haven't completed an offer yet and mention eXceem if they're unsure about the whole 'free stuff' thing. If they live locally to you, offer to buy them a pint (or several!) and use it as an excuse to talk it over with them- they'll have to sit and listen to you if you bought them a drink!

As an aside:
Has anyone else had problems with Yanks signing up? We seem to have much better offers over here (like LOVEFiLM which is essentially free) whereas all theres seem to have hidden catches or make them sign up for a longer period of time.

I have had about 400 USA sign ups and only ever got 2 USA greens. The offers are not good enough to convince them. Sometimes we get an amazing USA offer that only last for a couple of weeks and doesn't give us enough time to promote it to them

Sachmo_51_6 · 29-05-09, 05:02 PM

Interesting cultural difference isn't it? Our offers/companies are nice and friendly (hence we get a lot of greens from the UK), theirs seem a lot more commited and aggressive (hence few sign ups).

emperordikk · 30-05-09, 09:54 AM

Are you joking? We don't like anyone to win or have anything in the UK, lol. For instance, if England go on to win the world cup we won't care but if they lose then they will come back heroes. Lol. Either way, I've got 1 green... haha, thats all.
