Hi,

I just registered with xbox360 freepay earlier tonight. I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to get started gettin refferals? It would be great if someone could help !!

Thanx , Gav

There are a lot of ways to get referals.
The standard is obviously by referring people to do the website.convincing them . Which obviously hasnt worked for the best.

The most common method is trading for sites. Since you're a newbie ull have great luck with this. You signup for a site for someone and complete an offer and someone does the same for you.

Another method is cash payment. Someone does an offer for you and you pay him/her cash via paypal.

A combinatrion of the above 2 takes place as well. Sometimes thers a free offer on websites, like ebay or efax. You do those offers and get paid for it. Like I get paid a certain amount for doing a free offer. Now i add some more to that amount and make an offer to you for doing a site which would generally cost u some money.

Confused ? Read it again.

Those are the best methods really. If you need any help feel free to ask in this post. Got a great bunch of guys here who'll help u out.

Thanx, This question might be daft, but how much on average do you hav to spend to complete an offer? And which offers would you advise to choose an which ones to stay away from ? Thanx again, Gav

Some are free, or have free trials. However, most require a minimum spend of around £10 (or $20 on US sites which works out to around £11.50). Read the offer conditions carefully - for example a common offer is gambling sites. You usually need to deposit and gamble a certain amount to receive credit.

Kool, But the thing is, I only have a choice of 4 offers : screenselect, 2 channel offers and world poker tour online. Is ther any way you can change offers etc ? or get new offers?

[SwedishTom]

No, if and when they change is up to Freepay mate.. and yes, they don't have much and what they have sort of sucks!

Cheers

I beg to differ with the first explanation of the best way to do it.... if you have patience and time (and aren't greedy) then you can get your item for almost no outlay whatsoever.

If you don't have the patience and don't have the time then trading and paying are the best ways to get an item cheaper than it would cost in the shops... but then it certainly isn't free.

Some people design their own websites with their own referral link on it and then get all their friends to go there... some people put listings on eBay (which are against eBay policy but sometimes you get away with it). Other people create listmania lists on Amazon, and still others get business cards created with their link on and leave them in strategic places. And still more people create flyers and post them through their neighbour's letterboxes.

Creativity is the key... and if you can come up with a method of getting your link out there that nobody has before then it's almost guaranteed to get you your free item and don't tell anyone else until you've got all the free items you want!

Hope I haven't confused you... I just get a bit fed up with the "the only way to do it is to trade" attitude. There are other options and although it'll take longer you'll probably feel more satisfied with your free item when you finally get it!

Cheers,
Tez.

Thanx very much all. You's have all got me thinking. Thanx again! Al let you's know how I get on. Although its going to be hard, because all my friends think i'm daft as they think it is a scam.

[funkysaggi2]

That is what it is everywhere. Infact most of my friends are scared to use their credit cards online and according to them is "dangerous" to do so. Even after i'v gotten an ipod and cash from a couple of sites, they dont believe me. At this point of time, iv given up on them and stick to trading.

[rockykabir]

I agree with Gingertez here - although using trades help, you kinda lose the point in basing all of your strategies on that - I mean, its not a freebie then is it?

The key here: use your imagination, use several approaches, plough at it and hope for the best!

I didn't get my mates involved in this (they are a skeptical bunch) so I had to look elsewhere. However, now that I got the nano, a lot of them are interested and willing to help out

Apart from the two trades where I offered to go "green for greens", the rest of my referrals have come from using the methods used in the "How to get greens" section (combined with a few tactics of my own ). To pay for advertising costs and the costs involved in the offers, I offered to go green for others.

All in all, if you plan it right, you'll get your gifts without spending a penny!

[GavBoy]

So will I put adverts on ebay ? is that the best thing to do ?

[jtreach]

I just put my advert in the friday-ad and they have confirmed that it will go in. 'Ipod 30gb unwanted present £10' should get loads of referals from that *laughs an evil laugh'

It's against eBay's policy to put a listing in there, and you risk having your account barred. I was suspended for 2 months and won't do it any more as they will ban me forever if I'm caught out. It used to be relatively easy to put your link here and there, but more people are doing it and the sites are getting wise to it so it doesn't really work any more. I would say that trading and congas are the way to go really.
