Self Promotion Offline Tip #7

In case you haven't read my past posts, due to fraud, you must use a valid credit card or debit card with your name on it in order to do offers. The only exceptions is if they allow you to write a check or use Paypal. Yes, once again fraud has ruined things for everyone. So yes, you can no longer use prepaid credit cards or virtual cards from Paypal anymore. In the past, some users used prepaid for safety while others used it to commit fraud. The reason for valid credit cards only now is because advertisers want to be able to withdraw your funds and also to verify that you are who you say you are. Yes, they can tell if your credit card is a prepaid card or not but they cannot tell the difference between a Paypal plug in and Paypal debit so if you're Paypal then it could go red.

#7. Join your local area chamber of commerce! They are always holding local business events that you can participate in.

One thing that most users would not know when doing freebie sites is that you should not ever use AOL to access your freebie sites. The reason for this is because AOL uses proxies which are not allowed by freebie sites and other internet providers that uses proxies but AOL is the most common one for most users. To check if your internet provider uses a proxy or not check with the Proxy Test.

#6. Alot of churches hold a Spring and Fall Fest! Contact them about getting a table or a booth. Alot of times this will cost you under $15.00 for a space!

Make sure you take products with you along with business opportunity fliers, plenty of catalogs, business cards etc.

Do a contest drawing at these types of events. Make up entry blanks that gather the customers info so that you can initiate contact with them again!

Self Promotion Offline Tip #5

It is very important for you to tell the truth when you sign up for any freebie site and complete offers in your name and with your correct information. People do not realize but freebie sites and advertisers will verify your information to see if your information is true and correct in order for them to prevent fraud so if you do decide to input false information or even a typo then it could cause you to have your account placed on hold and will prevent you from receiving your free gift. You probably didn't mean any harm but networks will not receive your joke as lightly and you will pay for the consequence of your actions. Networks like SantasGiftsAllYear have implemented a new module on their sites to prevent fraud against users which does require you to input your phone number to receive an activation code. Reasons for high security all lies on fraud, so do us all a favor and don't do it!

#5. Daycare Centers! They are excellent to contact and leave business cards and/or fliers at!

I print out a flyer of just a few items from our Tupperware Childrens line and I attach my business card & a discount coupon. I get alot of orders by doing this!

So whatever company you represent, find some items that cater to children or to moms and make up a flier!

Self Promotion Offline Tip #4

Most do not know that in order to successfully receive credit for doing an offer, you should always clear your cookies before you log into a freebie site. It is an absolute must otherwise you will most likely not receive credit for completing an offer. So before you log into a new site, be sure to clear your cookies first. Offers are tracked by cookies so if you are not allowing cookies to be sent then you will most likely not going to receive credit either. So be sure to read the rules on how an offer credits to understand why this is important!

#4. Contact local area bridal supply stores, bridal gown stores, caterers, tux rental centers, wedding dj's etc. Ask them if you can leave your business cards & fliers about the great (Company Name) Bridal Gift Registry for them to give to their customers.

Offer store owners a free gift or a personal discount for helping you spread the word about your business.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #3

Here is one of the many unwritten rules to live by when doing freebie sites, do not ever under any circumstance sign up for the same site twice. If you sign up for one site and want to sign up for another site within the same network then you will need to extend your current account as an "existing user" by signing up with the same email you used on the first site on that network. Just because it's a new site to you, it does not mean that you are a new user so be careful.

#3. Print out fliers with your contact info (not your personal address), your website address & email address along with any current specials you are offering.

Then contact local area mobile home park offices, apartment complex rental offices, housing developments etc and ask them if you can leave fliers in their office or hang on their tenants doors. Give the office employees a free gift or discount on their personal orders.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #2

In a series of self promotion offline tips, you will see that obtaining referrals is easier than you have ever thought! You may even realize that obtaining referrals is easy. Anyone can bring in referrals, but the hard part is getting your referrals to complete offers! If your referrals do not complete offers then you won't receive credit either which also means your referrals also won't be one step closer to their prize. Most referrals do not realize that there are a good number of useful offers out there for them to choose from. I for one was glad to have an offer like eFax because not only did I complete my offer but I also received credit for the offer thus making me one step closer to my free prize! Yes, I did keep eFax even after the trial because I needed a fax for my business anyways.

Earning referrals may not be as hard or tough as you think because there are so many ways to obtain referrals but most people just don't think of it. In your everyday life, you have many possibilities to promote yourself without any extra effort that you didn't ever think about. Over the series of posts, I will be posting tips in order for you to realize more ways to obtain referrals so that you can earn yourself some free prizes without realizing it.

#1. Take a small zip close baggie (snack sizes work well) and include the following in it:

Your Business Card, Business Opptortunity Mini Flyer, a Piece of Candy such as hard candy or a lollipop, mini flyer of current host specials, discount coupon (optional) etc.

Hand these out to the bank tellers, retail cashiers, at your kids sport events, every where you go!
