5 Innovative Ways to Build Your Referral Network

I'm just writing to share 5 quick tips that will greatly help you to build up your referral network. If you are looking to build up a very successful network on your referral program, (be it clixsense, hits4pay etc.), you must first focus not on quick money, but on building a SUSTAINABLE long term network! Instant money do not always pour in 99.99% of the time just by sitting there doing nothing, but it takes commitment,passion, and lots of patience..

Please feel free to add on to this list here!

1.The Power of the Business Card
It is the most ancient network marketing tool, but just by having these cards at your disposal will build credibility and work wonders with your referrals!I know of a Business Card printer that prints the first 250 cards for free..Check out VistaPrint.comfor more details

2.The Power of the Word of Mouth
Perhaps, another time proven way to quickly spread the message of your referral program is to VERBALLY tell your family, friends and colleagues about it.If you do it long enough,the impression that you are a'model' for that program will begin to be in their minds. So the next time your program is mentioned to them (clixsense etc), they think of you!

3.The Power of the Domain Name
Another great way to build credibility with your potential referrals is to invest a little money in purchasing an easily spelt, and aurally sounding domain name. By that i mean that your viewers can spell it to you perfectly well every time you talk about the domain.Let's say you promote the myLot program in the UK..why don't you invest in a domain called myLotUK.com? Besides, you are also sending the message to your viewers that you are an 'ambassador' for that program in your home country. As for me, i own the hits4paysg.com and ProfitLancesg.com domains for the hits4pay and ProfitLance program in Singapore, so do check them out as an example!

4.The Power of Strategic Hiding
Ok, this term sounds really weird, but another very innovative way to promote your referral program is to leave your business cards hidden in the midst of library bookselves, business management books in MPH, on the surface of the Starbucks cushion before you leave, or even on the toilet cubicle seat!..just to name a few ideas.. Why practise strategic hiding? Because at these strategic places,(etc. at the library, peoples pace slow down, and they have plenty of time to focus on 'discovering' what your business cards are about! Revelationary eh?

5.The Power of 100% Honesty
Don't blow or over-exaggerate the potential earnings of your referral program to amounts that are simply lying. If your hit4pay program can potentially only offer you about USD$35 per month in earnings from reading emails and referring people, be honest and state an honest estimate. Don't blow it up to $350, $3500, or worse, $3500000/month when you know that it requires hard work and discipline to get there!
Nothing puts a potential referral off faster than to tell him a ploy that he can be a millionaire instantly. Remember, it's always better to lose 1000 referrals who would have fallen for your 'get-rich-quick' ploy, and fizzle out of the program after they get disillusioned with the low earnings, than to lose 100 referrals who will remain your real referrals for LIFE! Which do you choose?

Remember, it's not just about the instant gratification of earning BIG money that should appeal to you.Instead, focus on the principles of network building, and in time to come, the cash will naturally begin to pour in..I gurantee you!If you are very new to earning money online through referrals, focus on one program first, and concentrate solely on that program with specific goals in mind. Before you can hit your first 100 referrals aim, aim to hit your 1st 10 this week, and move on to hit 50 by month end, and finally 100 by 2 months time! I wish you all success!
