#1 Proven Method for getting Referrals
Posting in Facebook Groups
Facebook groups is THE BEST method for getting referrals. In our training manual I have provided you with well over 20 methods and you SHOULD try out as many as you can. However, this method should be your MAIN focus because I am hearing feedback from many users and those that are using this method all report great results.
What you will be doing with this method is joining and posting in a lot of Facebook groups. However, Facebook is very strict and you need to know how to play within the rules without pushing the limits and causing issues with your account.
I have divided this tutorial into sections to make it easier to follow.
Section 1 - Joining groups
- You are only allowed to be a member of 6,000 groups. If you want to join more groups than that, you will first have to delete some. I suggest starting with the dead or abandoned groups in your list. What I mean is if you have pending posts from a week ago that have not been approved then just leave that group and join a more active one. You want to join groups where the activity is high, where when you post to the group and check back 30 minutes later you can't even find your dang post. Now that’s is an active group! You want to focus on groups with 10,000 or more members with lots of activity post wise. Ideally there should be dozens of posts each day. If you come to a group and don’t see any posts in the last 24 hours, skip it. Here is a list provided by Tracy Sellman https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MW0pB2aMABAPlpzdbytjPm0zPwL1n0qLhQPKWspEarE. Also here is a list I compiled https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UWkPc7hQ7JNYL00crQofPTCED--SeFkMf1JDBQliKFI however I didn’t pay any attention to the frequency of posts or number of members. Tracy’s list have already been filtered for you. But my list you need to check them as you go.
- This is a list of cities worldwide with more than a 100,000 population. This is very useful because there are 1,000’s of FB groups relating to jobs. For example London Jobs, Manchester Jobs etc. These are great places to post because people are looking for ways to make money.
- Here is a list of the different niches I would recommend you focus on. I feel these would be good for Mingle Cash.
- Bitcoin
- Work at home
- Make money online
- Network marketing, network marketers
- Passive income
- MLM
- Entrepreneurs
- Advertise your business, Free business advertising, post your business here
- Stay at home moms, stay at home dads
- Internet marketing
- Matrix
- HYIP - High Yield Investment Programs
- Rev share
- PTC (paid to click)
- Affiliate Marketing, affiliate marketers
- Jobs. Think both local jobs (ie. Tampa jobs, NY jobs, Las Vegas jobs…) as well as audiences (ie. student jobs, part time jobs, freelance jobs, full time jobs, sales jobs…)
- I only know English, however you can search for these words in whatever language you know. If you know a second language then you should search for groups using the above mentioned keywords in both languages to reach more people.
- Don’t join more than 25 groups per 24 hours. If you try to join too many too fast you will start getting types of blocks and end up in FB jail.
- Focus on PUBLIC groups as opposed to CLOSED or SECRET groups. PUBLIC groups will be the type of groups you’ll typically be able to post freely in.
Section 2 - Posting in groups
- Most of the groups that you’ll be joining are not GEO specific which means members are from all over the world. However our primary target of users is North America which has 3 time zones so you want to use USA Central time zone. Below are the best times to post according to this reputable source.
- Sunday-Thursday 1pm-4pm
- Monday & Wednesday 12pm-3pm
- Thursday & Friday 3pm-4pm
- Thursday 1pm
Here is a link that will tell you the current time of USA Central time zone whenever you want to check. However, if you are posting a GEO specific group, for example UK jobs where obviously the main audience is in the UK, then you’ll want to post on the above 3 times I just mentioned based on the UK time zone.
- After you make your post, immediately "like" it. Do this EVERY time for EVERY post. Whenever someone "likes" or "comments" your post you should always comment back to them. If they have liked your post, then you should give a comment back to them along the lines of "thanks for the like - when you're ready to get started please send me a private message", making sure to tag them in your comment. If someone comments for more information, you should "like" their comment, and then tag and comment back once you have sent them the information. This helps you to keep track of who you have sent information to as well as keeping your post at the top of the group and in the news feed.
- You want to wait a minimum of 3 minutes between posts. It doesn’t matter if you use the same post or a new one, WAIT 3 minutes! The best method is to have several different posts, each having it’s own picture and a different masked url. Then post one of these ads 25 times, waiting 3 minutes in between each post. Once you have made 25 posts with the first ad, move on to the next ad you have made and so on. Use each ad only 1 time in a 24 hour time frame. If you do this, there is no reason why you can not use these same ads for months. You should try to keep the ad to 3 sentences and use a good call to action. Here is an example. You want to make your OWN ad. If you use this same ad then you will get into trouble since 1,000’s of Mingle users will use it. So I highly advise you at least change words and phrases to make it unique to you. The more you change the better it will be for you. This is only to give you an example:
THE OLD IS OUT, THE NEW IS HERE!! Mingle Cash is the New Way to make a passive income. 100% Free and 100% Safe. CLICK on the LINK for more info! http://www.ibourl.net/adimingle
Below are 6 images images you can use with your posts I have compiled.
- You should post a link within your post. You do not need to post it in the comments or tell them to inbox you for more information. As long as you follow the guidelines in this FB group posting method you will be fine. However you MUST mask your link. NEVER post your Mingle Cash affiliate link, or any other rare link, such as this one
https://www.minglecash.com/?ref=22e022. The reason for this is that if you post your true referral link it can cause the links be banned on whatever site you are posting to, especially Facebook. Facebook sees everyone’s links as the same website even though it has your affiliate name/number on the end and consider them to be SPAM. One of the best websites to use to mask your links is IBOToolbox. You can set up a totally free account there. Here is the page you want to go to mask your url after you register http://www.ibotoolbox.com/iboapps-ibourl.aspx. And here is a 2 minute training video on how to set up mask links. Be sure to make the .net alias, that’s VERY important so you have a nice looking url. Below is an example of an IBOToolbox link: http://www.ibourl.net/adimingle. For every unique ad that you create you will need to create a unique url to go with it. - If your group post goes ‘viral’; meaning there are a lot of comments, likes and shares; then it will rise at or near the top of the group even if your post is an older one. The most important social signal is the ‘comments’. I highly recommend that you get a group together (ideally people in your downline since you have vested interest in helping them too) so the group will like and comment on each others group posts. You want to mix it up of course, but this is the general idea of how it will work. So you first make your post. Then you like it right away. One person in your group will post something like ‘can you tell me how this works and how I make money?’ You then reply in a few sentences (nothing too long). Then either that person or another person will reply back ‘Sounds good, but where can I learn more information?’ You will then reply back telling them go to this site (with your masked affiliate url) and it has a ton of information. You are also welcome to send me a private message and I can answer questions. Then have that person write back ‘Thanks for the info. I look forward to reading about this.’ Then have another person reply ‘I’ve been waiting a long time for something like this. Thank you for posting! I am definitely going to try this out!’ You will reply ‘Your most welcome. Let me know if you have any questions. And so on and so on. You want to keep it up as well. If you want the post to stay near the top the comments must be updated. So if it stops to drop in the listing on the group, just get friends to comment again and it should rise back up.
Section 3 - Sending Private Messages
Sending private messages is a great way to let people know about Mingle Cash. As long as you send LESS than 40 privates to strangers per day you should be ok and not have any issues. What you want to do is find fan pages where you think the people would also be interested in Mingle Cash. Groups are ok also, but since anyone who is a FB friend with another person can automatically add that person to a group, we don’t know if they are truly interested in the group or not. With Fan pages, you are going to have a higher success rate with people interested in that topic.
What you do is find the people who liked, shared or commented on all posts and then copy those people into an excel or online Google Sheet making sure you copy their FB profile url address. Then send them a private message. For example, let’s take https://www.facebook.com/swagbucks/ as an example.
You could send them a message such as this:
Hi ______. I see that we are both big fans of Swagbucks. I just found a program that is doing great AND I can do it while I am doing Swagbucks. I thought I would share this with you because we all can use some "rainy day" money. Check it out at http://www.ibourl.net/adimingle and see what you think.
Bear in mind that most people you message will NOT see your message because you are not friends with them. The reason is your message will go into their ‘other’ inbox like you see below in red.
However, they will get an alert and usually over time many will see it. It’s just a numbers game. It should take ~15 minutes including research, entering the person’s url in your excel, so you don’t send them a 2nd message, and sending the actual message. You want to focus on targeting people in the USA and Canada ideally. Then UK, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and Sweden. Of course all countries are great, but since your time is limited, we can make the most money from these countries which is better for you.
Here is a short list of fan pages to get you started and to give you an idea of the type that can work. There are 1,000’s out there. This is just an example only.
Here are SEARCHES that you can use also that I feel will give you good users. You should use different combinations of related keywords. These are people looking to make money.
