I just made a slip, what do you think?

SoNotIram · 03-04-10, 02:53 PM

I'm hoping to print these out and place them in books and stuff in shops or even just leave some lying around.

What do you think? I still feel as if it's not the best so I would be grateful for any help.
Oh and the black bit is where my referral number thingy will be.

Very nice looking slip! Good idea too!

My only criticism... instead of a direct link (which people will just cut off the numbers) why not set up a website... even something like a ".tk" site, like I did with iPhoneHD.tk.

Then it's a website they go to which automatically redirects to your ref link.

Oh yeah I never thought about that. But how did you make the website?

thanks

You can make a quick .tk redirect to your referral link here:

Dot TK - Renaming The Internet

Should be much more memorable then just the referral link

sgll · 03-04-10, 03:05 PM

or just goto tinyurl.com and make your url short

arcticfox · 03-04-10, 03:06 PM

Good sugestions but bear in mind that the .tk domains might actually mask the referral link, which isnt allowed.

I'd go with sgll's sugestion

sgll · 03-04-10, 03:12 PM

yeh i wouldnt go with .tk either lol. i would use either bit.ly or tinyurl.com both of which allow you to create custom urls

Oh yeah, I'm so used to using .tk for websites rather then referral links that I forgot about this

try 000webhost

It's usually better to put you website URL instead of referral link because people wouldn't know what to do if you lead them through a referral link. The design is nice, too!

calum55 · 03-04-10, 03:40 PM

Nice slip! What font is that?

Or use Short URLs with analytics, social media monitoring, and geotargeting - Cligs which gives you a visitor count!

Ahh I didn't realise! Does it show all your shortened links in one account, like cli.gs does? I don't remember how I found cli.gs, but I love it!

Timmus · 04-04-10, 11:38 PM

I love the look of those slips, I think they could work very well

iFreeZone · 04-04-10, 11:57 PM

Just Use a URL Shortening site and if they do Custom URL ID (or whatever it's called) then make it something related, like "Free ______" or Something Like that...

Oh yh, the Slip looks pretty Good...!
