If you've read my last two blog posts, I'm sure you may be wondering what comes after you sign up for Easy Payday Revolution. I mean, you get onto this site for free, you receive extensive training, you sign up on a forum and get started with the help of coaching from a mentor, you make your first bit of money and then you learn some tips and tricks. It's a great way to start earning your first bit of money online!
But, Then What Happens?
Well, really, you get to do whatever you want. You can continue in that preliminary stage for as long as you want if that's what you're comfortable with; you'll just spend some time online filling out offers and earning some cash for your completed tasks. However, there are a plethora of options available to you beyond this. The typical next step is to become a mentor like me; you become the person that people contact in order to start trades with and when they've completed the required tasks on a site, then the site pays you and you pay your trader whatever percentage you want as a commission (the standard and fair amount is 50%, but often times, the freebie sites will give payout bonuses as incentives). When I say 50%, don't think that that means that you're not getting much money; there are plenty of sites out there that pay $40, $60, $80, $100, $130 and MORE as a thank you for a referral! Even if your referral only completes a $40 site, you're still making $20 for having simply sent them a referral link and some instructions. Seriously, how hard is that?! All in all, that money does add up and the more people you can get to work with you, the more money you will make!
How Do You Get People To Work With You?
Well, I find that being as active as possible on the freebie forums is what helps me the most! It doesn't take much time either. You just have to have one thread on the forum where you describe your work ethic and just let traders know a bit about yourself and why you like doing this (this is really your sales pitch), and you list off the freebie sites that you can offer them as well as what you will pay them for each site that they've completed. This gives them the option to choose what they'd like to do, they can explore the offers on each site and see what's available to them, and they can decide how much of a payout they want to receive. All you have to do is post that once. After that, you can edit the post as often as you'd like (which happens when your ideas change and when you earn more sites to offer to traders), and you can go into your thread every 4 hours and add a little comment to have it "bumped" up to the top of the forum so that it becomes the first thing that members see! Pretty neat, isn't it?
Introductions are also VERY important on these forums; not only is it important to introduce yourself - since working as a team makes this whole system more effective as well as fun - but when new members sign up, they are encouraged to introduce themselves so that older members can be aware of their presence. When you're a mentor, this is a great way to send a nice welcome and let this new member know what you do on the site and that you are there to help them if they need it. Also, in your signature at the end of your welcome post, they should be able to see a link to your "trading thread" (the one I just described above) as well as to your profile so that they can take a look and your page and get a hold of you via private message.
I've learned that my new traders come to me because they've found that I seemed friendly, honest and straight-forward; I've discovered that the friendlier and more patient we all are, the more people want to work with us. It's really just common sense and good business ethics, really. Nobody is there to cheat anyone or to scam other members, and we all just want to work together and make some money. That's seriously all it is - there is no catch to it other than the fact that you are your own boss and if you don't put any thought or effort into it at all, then you are not going to be very successful. Plain and simple.
What If Business Is Slow?
There can definitely be slow times, days or even a week here and there, but when that happens, it doesn't mean that all hope is lost and that you cannot earn money during that time. It's during the forums' downtimes that you want to get out and promote yourself and your business. Yes, this is your business. It may be an "Internet Gig", but it's still your business and you need to direct traffic to your business and educate others on what you do, just as you would if you were trying to gain clients in person. There are a TON of options for this. One of them is to blog (that's precisely why I started this one here). I find that explaining what I do not only allows me to advertise, but it also helps people understand that Easy Payday Revolution is, in fact, a legitimate system and the freebie trading is a real business. The more information there is on the subject, the less people get a strange or shady feeling about the idea and become afraid that it is a scam. You want people to know what it is that you do because firstly, you want them to see that you know what you're doing and, secondly, you want them to be able to trust you and your opinion.
Just because this is an online business, it doesn't mean that you can't talk about it to the people that you know personally if you want to! A great way to get people to work with you is to talk to people who know you. Seriously, I can be as honest and straightforward as I want to here, but if a family member or friend came up to you and started giving you the exact same information I am, you would trust them in an instant. With strangers, it takes some persuasion. If you know the people personally, you can also offer to coach them through the process in person. I try to offer this to people online as well; if I have a new trader sign up and I am their mentor, I will offer to chat with them on AIM, on Facebook, or even call them on Skype if they prefer the idea of having me walk them through everything!
Another great way to promote yourself is through social networking; I typically post what I have to say on this blog so that I'm not overwhelming people's feeds on networking sites and then I will post a little blurb about what I'm doing along with the link to my blog on Facebook and Twitter. You can either use your personal accounts or you can create separate ones for your business.
Easy Payday Revolution is fantastic because not only does it teach you self-promotion methods beyond what I've described here, but it also rewards you for the referrals that you bring in! When you get someone to sign up for EPDR, you get paid $5. THEN, when they move on to signing up on the freebie trading forum, you automatically become their mentor, so you are the one helping them through their first trade, which means that you're also the one who will be paying them after you have been paid by the site they completed. That is a guaranteed trade after already having been rewarded for directing this person to EPDR! If that isn't incentive enough for you to try to get more people to join, then I don't know what is! And, the best part is that you're both winning since your recruit signs up for free and gets paid by you after they've completed their first trade! There is seriously no other program like this out there right now!
The more people you get signed up with EPDR and on the forum, the more money you make, the more other members make once this new recruit starts to look around for other people to work with, and the more they make since they will have such a large number of people to choose from for deals! It's a great big community of money-generating goodness! :)
So, What Are You Waiting For?
Sign up! It's free and you've got absolutely nothing to loose except maybe a bit of your time, but you'll be spending that time learning and then you get paid for your time and efforts! Click on my banner at the bottom of this post, take a look at the EPDR site, sign up, do some reading, contact me by E-Mail or AIM if you need help (dancingtoes89@gmail.com), sign up on the forum and make some money for the both of us! After you become familiar with the process, you move on to referring and mentoring, you get to know the other members of the forum (trust me, this happens very quickly), and you become exposed to other legitimate online opportunities that are available to you! All you need to do is find one in order to meet real people who have been looking, just like you, for online job opportunities; several have been working online for years and will be more than happy to tell you about other ways that they earn their income online. It's just like networking in person. Being a part of a friendly, patient and rewarding environment like this one is, in my opinion, the best way to integrate yourself into the world of online business.
One Last Note...
I've noticed that my blog has been generating a good amount of traffic, but I have yet to receive one comment on any of my posts. I encourage you to contact me! If you have questions, ask them here if you'd like! If you feel like challenging anything that I'm saying, by all means, please do! I will gladly engage in a debate or provide you with more information on whatever it is that you aren't quite sure of!
I promise that I don't bite!
Until next time,
