Hi! Im andrea and i just signed up for freebiejeebies. Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do to maximize my time for getting referals? And if anybody won any prizes, can you tell me your experinces?

Well.. Instead of trying to get referrals you could watch a movie. That would maximize the time

Hello Andrea and welcome to the eXceem community! As for advice, I would suggest making a website to show your referrals. Include information on how it works, show proof pictures (maybe pm members asking for permission to use one of the pics) and a FAQ page! To get ideas on how to approach your audience, look at a few sites the members have made on here. But please, don't copy and paste. You will get a lot of back lash! I suppose you are also doubting if making a website is worth it due to the fear of making it. Well, I was at least. Here are a few pointers from my site:

'
Now, when creating a site, there are three major parts to consider. A host, a domain, and a template / site design. If you want to spend as little money as possible, I would recommend taking up hosting with 000webhost.com. They host for free and don't place adverts all over your site. Next is the domain. If you don't know what a domain is, it's the ending of a URL (e.g. .co.uk). I strongly advise you to pocket out on a decent domain name. The reason for this is that your site will look more professional and less 'spammy'. Finally, you need a template. A template is basically the design aspect of your site. You just need to add in your own pictures and text. As for where you can get one, check these sites out:

Styleshout , OpenSourceTemplates , CSScreme , TemplateMo , FreeCSSTemplates , FreeTemplatesOnline. '

Good luck!
Ellie

To use trade section, you must be a member on here for 5 days and make 5 meaningful posts

andy17 · 09-08-10, 11:00 PM

What do you consider 5 meaningful posts?

Posts that contribute to the community ie not "hi welcome to eXceem ect"..

ElectroGirl · 09-08-10, 11:07 PM

There is no fixed definition for the requirements, but put it this way:
They have to help out a member
Contribute to the community
not be a simple 'welcome', 'hi', 'thanks' or 'congrats'

Good luck!

andy17 · 09-08-10, 11:09 PM

So i just basically have to help others by answering their questions and giving my input in threads?

ElectroGirl · 09-08-10, 11:12 PM

To show your thanks to eXceem as a forum and it's members for helping you along! Give and take, give and take..

andy17 · 09-08-10, 11:23 PM

Alright. Thanks for all the help

ElectroGirl · 09-08-10, 11:26 PM

No problem

I would start from now though as these posts would probably not count as they aren't really contributing, but thanking which is still all good

robert1973 · 13-08-10, 12:01 AM

Nice post Electro Girl!!!!

ElectroGirl · 13-08-10, 12:03 AM

Thanks very much Rob, but this still doesn't contribute to the 5 meaningful posts mark

toasteruk · 15-08-10, 02:11 PM
