A Few things that need to be repeated are......
About Doing Offers
When doing offers, document everything. Use one of the spreadsheets
available in the tutorials section, or copy and paste all relevant
information to a file, including the date of purchase, the offer's
terms, the full TOS (Terms of Service) or T&C (Terms and
Conditions), contact numbers, confirmation numbers, charges, trial
periods, and cancellation instructions.
Carefully review this information before you submit your order. You can
even go a step further and research the offer more extensively before
you commit to it. You can google the offer or company, look for them on
the Better Business Bureau, or anything else you want to... ( I personally never went that far)
I'm not saying that researching every offer to this
extent is necessary, I rarely do all of that. You have to use your own
best judgment and intuition to decide how much research is necessary
for a given offer.
Of course doing offers that you have the most interest in or that
advertise products you use anyway is the best way to go. Being informed
and using great care in picking your offers is worth the effort and
prevents headaches down the road.
If the offer has a trial period, pick a date to cancel should you
decide not to continue with the product or service and write it down on
your calendar. Then just look at the calendar every day to see which
offers you need to cancel. If the trial period ends on a weekend,
you'll want to cancel on the Friday before. Always give an offer a fair
try though as it is against the TOS of most or all sites to sign up for
an offer and cancel it right away just to get credit.
You see pretty much the same offers on most or all of the sites, so
there are a limited number of them. Sooner or later you run out of
offers because you've already tried all the ones that interest you (you
can only do each offer once). At this point it's time to focus more on
getting referrals to the sites you've greened on, and less on going
green yourself (called 'jumping the fence'). This is how the real money
is made in this business anyway.
Give some thought to what you are accomplishing when you do offers.
Think about the features of the sites you are acquiring such as how
much they pay per referral, how many referrals it takes to cash out,
how reputable the site is, whether it is repeatable, and the overall
difficulty. Remember most of your referrals will end up coming from
newbies, and they like easy sites, but are also attracted by larger
payouts.
Have Paitience
Be prepared to have a lot of patience and really take your time with
doing offers. If you find yourself becoming frustrated or impatient,
take a break and come back to it when you feel centered again. It's
much easier when you can maintain a positive outlook and are able to
use your best judgment, especially the first few times you go green. It
really doesn't pay to get impatient and rush through things. After you
gain experience, you'll get a system down for doing offers, and the
process will flow much easier. At least they did for me.
It is also good to have a lot of patience with the entire process. Keep
in mind you are dealing with people, and for various reasons they
sometimes will not be as responsive as you would like. This applies to
your trade partner, site owners, and sponsor companies. Most of the
people involved in this are honest and try to act with integrity, but
you should also be prepared to deal with the occasional person who is
not. In either case, it's best to keep your cool, act professionally at
all times, and to not assume the worst about a person or situation
because of a lack of patience. If you're the type of person to lose
your temper easily or jump to conclusions and make accusations quickly,
perhaps you need to rethink whether this business is right for you.
