Referral Marketing

[Matt N]

I've recently added a multi-level referral marketing system to my website (www.contacts4life.com) as an engine for driving growth.

Put simply I'm rewarding MGM (working down 3 levels i.e. friends, friends of friends, and friends of friends friends)'- with gifts, cash etc all of which we handle & ship out inhouse.

The problem is that I'm struggling to get the right people to adopt the scheme i.e place banners on their sites/build a team of referrers etc. I'm not sure if it's how I'm explaining it or not???

Does anyone have any experience of growing similar incentive/reward programmes? If so, is there a winning formula?

Hi,

I give people a 10% finders fee. Cold hard cash, well actually a check. I give them 10% of my hourly rate for any projects they send my way. In the past 2 months I've written four checks. It's great because I don't like to do sales, so now I have a group of people who do it for me.

Have Fun,
Jeff
