Build your downline for FREE
Free methods of building a downline for your favorite program
Don't have any funds allocated to build the stable downline? Don't despair! There are numerous ways to do it for FREE. Let's outline some major downline methods
of building a downline for FREE or nearly so.
Here they are:
Make everyone you know aware: friends, family, cow-workers etc.
If you found a way to make money with a certain program and you believe in it, you should by all means tell your friends and family. After all, what benefits you may benefit them.
Join forums and post about a program you are involved with
Post in forums about your success and inspire others to join. You can use your signature to place your program referral links or link back to your website.
A word of caution applies here. Don't post your referral link in the areas where this is not allowed, or it would be considered a spam. Please, always read forum rules, before you post. The key here is to build your credibility. Once people know you are reliable and knowledgeable about the subject it will be easier for them to trust you. Instead, some forum members make a mistake of putting their referral links in every place they can find on the forum, as soon as they join.
Some forums have a downline builder, where you can post a link of a program you want others to sign up for or signup under someone else. The good thing about downline builders, in either case, is it almost guarantees you will get someone under you providing that the forum has enough active members, and the program you posted doesni??t have a bad reputation.

Include the link to your product/program in the email
It is a good idea to include your referral link in your signature while responding to an email. In this case you already have someone who is interested to read your email and your link gets that extra free advertisement.
Obtain your own mailing list
You can join one or create your own newsletter. Having a list of people that might be interested in what you are promoting can turn out to be a powerful tool. Create a lead sales webpage and advertise the site you are promoting to that list.
Write some articles
There are many FREE article directories that are popular with search engines. Some websites are willing pay for a good article. You can include your referral links if it is allowed. Alternatively you can include a link to your website where your referral links can be placed. For the best effect it helps to choose your placement category very carefully as you want to draw in people who will be interested in what you are trying to promote.
Post some objective product/program reviews
Writing a product or a program review has a lot in common with writing an article, but is more focused on the program or a product thoroughly describing everything about it: benefits and downsides, features and/or the lack of, usability and practicality, etc. The presentation and writing style with details in focus make any review unique.
Create a press release
To effectively utilize this method your affiliate or referral program must be newsworthy. There are websites that offer assistance and resources on how to write a press release. Again, you can find many websites specializing in offering FREE press releases to anyone.
Create an e-book
You can write your own e-book or give away free reports on how to make money online, grow a garden, restore a car and so on. You can include links leading to the site/program you are promoting. You can even sell your e-book for a small price.
Create your own videos
It can be a great way to get referrals, although hosting video files can eat up bandwidth on your site very quick. So, use this tool wisely! The good news is there is a number of free video hosting portals such as youtube or veoh.
Exchange signups with others
If you found a reliable program you would like to become a member of, find out if you can sign up under someone else in exchange for them signing up under you in your favorite program.
