2 Questions...

1) I intend to introduce FJ to my mates this week( I was going to weight until I got my first gift, but I cant even get my second green for a gift

), and I was wondering which of the 2 ways will get more greens for me(selfish, I know):
a) Introduce them, and tell the of all the great things they can get(be 100% honest)
OR
b) Simply say "wanna make a fiver?" then do this for me, then they sign up and forget FJ. This may seem pointless as they would just sign up for free via a), but this way they themselves will not be looking for referrals in my area, particularly at my school, meaning more potential sign ups for me.
Which way have you FJ pros went down when telling your mates?

2)I have defiantly decided that as soon as I get 2 ref I will claim a prize, to hopefully lead to more sign ups, but after that is it better to save up for a big prize (almighty iPhone), or to claim little goods(little iPod/ Ps3 games/ CD's) often(I hope). From experience is the temptation of a nice free item to prevent a newbie from banking greens and going for the top rewards?

I appreciate your time should you chose to respond.

b)

And I like little bits often (make FJ work for their custom orders

.... ) because I'm always worried that my greenage is coming to an end and I should save bits up for my family and friends.

B but not to have less competition, because I doubt many will sign up as a favour

How would that benefit anyone?

If anything the smaller rewards would mean the freebie website would lose more money, as much of their money would come from people signing up to get say, an iPhone for 22 refs, then giving up after 5. If they could only get the iPhone then that would be £100+ free for the the freebie company, but as there are smaller gifts available, they could simply change their gift and get an iPod or something.

B

and I vary greatly if I'm honest, at the start I saved up loads and got 3 big items in one go, (ipod touch, wii and tomtom) then went through a stage of getting regular custom orders of like 3 green for school stuff and dvds

but not I have 12 greens saved up but not had a green or pending in 3 week so don't know what to do now

little run down of my freebie life for you there

I mis-wrote what I was meaning to ask. l meant DO, from experience, the temptations of free quick items hinder saving up for the top gifts, ie being impatient and snapping up custom orders as soon as there is a few greens in the bank? Sorry for being so unclear.

I would say just pay them $5 then when you receive your gift they may start doing it.

Start with pretending you don't know anything. Say "Ahhh... I wish I could get a Xbox 360 (or anything else)." They will say "Yeah......" You say:"But all of them require credit cards."

Once again they'll agree. Then you tell them "I do know a site, that gives Freebies for just calling people to their website." Then tell them:"A nintendo DS costs 6 referrals,games cost 2, PSP costs 7, Xbox 360 costs 10 and Xbox live 12 months cost 2".

They'll be amazed, then you tell them how it's done and yada yada yada you know the rest.
