HOW TO GET 100s OF PEOPLE INTO YOUR DOWNLINE(S) IN JUST A FEW MONTHS
Copyright 2005 Robert Evans

I've been "seriously" working the Web since late 2000. I
joined a few affiliate programmes in the early days - more
than I could handle back then - and more or less gave up on
every single one of them.

That's not to say there was anything wrong with the
programmes, but I just couldn't get enough referrals. Why
couldn't I get them? Because my approach was all wrong.
I've since worked out a strategy to market this kind of
opportunity. In fact, I think I can successfully market ANY
programme that offers rewards for building a downline.

The technique I have developed is simplicity itself, yet I
am astounded at how rarely it is used. In fact, I see
golden opportunities to utilise this tactic overlooked
every single day. So what is this technique? I'll show you.
Outlined below are six steps that you could follow to build
your downline(s) and maximise your earning potential.

1) Go to your favourite Search Engine and conduct a search
under "free affiliate programmes" or "get paid for
referrals" or "get paid to surf, read emails" etc. You
could (and should) also consider any good quality
programmes you are currently promoting.

2) Join up to 10 that seem to offer good payouts and do not
require you to buy anything or to pay a subscription fee.
Get to know each opportunity enough to be able to explain
it favourably to a prospect.

3) Summarise what each company has to offer in a single
paragraph if possible. It should, of course, make the
opportunity
sound attractive but plausible. Write each paragraph up in
Notepad and remember to include your referral URL (the one
the
company has given you to promote the opportunity).

4) Open a free autoresponder account. I recommend the
following:

http://www.getresponse.com
http://www.informationbyemail.com
http://www.sendfree.com

Write an interesting "sales letter" to introduce the
package you are offering. Give it a powerful headline. This
should
emphasise one of the major benefits of joining at least one
of the opportunities.

Instruct readers of the email to join the opportunities
listed, then to copy the entire message into their text
editor, change the necessary details in the referral URLs
to theirs, and copy and paste the whole thing into an
autoresponder.

5) Advertise the autoresponder and (voila!) watch your
downline(s) grow. This technique will work with Paid to
Surf programmes, Paid to read email programmes, in fact any
free to join opportunity in which building a downline is
essential to your financial success. It is a marketing ploy
that has never failed for me!

6) Always be sure to include your regular email address for
support purposes. If possible email each new direct
referral
and offer them some help or encouragement.

If you know of any marketing resource that can help them to
promote the programme, then make it freely available to
them.
Stress the fact that although they will be joining 10
different programmes, they will only need to promote one
overall package.

If you come across as an optimistic, helpful and motivated
sponsor the chances are this will rub off on them and they
will carry the message all the way down the line, several
levels deep. So make each support email you send to your
direct referrals freely available for them to duplicate and
pass on.
