The Guaranteed Free Sign Up Scams..

There are many companies online today that offer 'guaranteed sign us to your free program' for a fixed amount. Many of these companies claim that they'll have X number of people in your downline as free sign ups, or pre-enrollees for a fixed price. Do these companies actually deliver though? Do they manage getting that number of people under you?

The guaranteed free sign ups claims generally follow a pattern:

We'll put 50 people in your downline in your free to sign-up program for $200. If just 1 in every 5 people decided to upgrade to a paid member, think of the money you could be making from your MLM/program.

So what's actually happening here? Where are these guaranteed free sign ups coming from?

Most services employ two strategies to get people under you in your free to sign ups programs:

1. 
   

2. 
   

   Paying people to do it. Many companies will pay anywhere from 10 cents to $3 to their members just to sign up for free offers. These people then count towards your quota of guaranteed free sign ups. The company keeps the difference and that's their profit. Many companies run both of these services - get paid to sign up for free offers, and guaranteed paid sign ups for money. These people, more often than not, are not even interested in your offers and don't really want to be in your downline. As such, you'll experience very low conversions and hardly anyone will upgrade. Of course, some of these people are looking to make money online, and if you're offering a way to make money, they might upgrade if they think the offer is good enough. These companies will claim something like this :

   
   

   These people have shown an interest in working and making money online, and are actively looking for ways to make money. They fill out a for indicating their interest in earning money and when we receive your order, we'll add them to your desired url.

   
   

   Okay - So first of all, it's not these people who sign up as your guaranteed paid sign ups, but it's the company's staff that puts their information in, because these people showed interest once-upon-a-time! In fact, many of these companies will tell you that they won't even accept double opt-in programs, even if they're free, because they can't even guarantee that these people still operate the same e-mail addresses! All in all, you'll experience an upgrade rate of under 1% in any case.

   The other strategy is where they just advertise a super-generic, simple survey form, and have people fill them. The form asks questions such as - would you like to make money online? What's your e-mail address? What's your name? That's it! If they said, yes, I want to make money online, they'll add them to your form, and you'll have guaranteed free sign up taking up that quota. Again, very rarely, someone might upgrade and become a member in your program, but it is still a sham! Overall, you'll never experience a rate of more than 2-5% in any of these programs (which can still be profitable).

Again, there are companies that actually provide good free sign ups, where the conversion rate is more than 25%. Now, both the legitimate companies and the scams will have this clause in their terms and conditions - we cannot guarantee that anyone of these people will upgrade. That's one of the problems with picking the scams from the legitimate guaranteed free sign ups services.

So what are the things yuo should look for:

1. Ask them for details on how they go about getting these people in.

2. Ask them for some testimonials and any companies that can confirm that they are legitimate businesses.

3. See what their policies on guaranteed free sign ups for double-opt-in programs is. Most scams wil not be able to give you double opt-in sign ups, because these people might never even check their e-mails.

4. See who actually signs up - is it the people, or is it the company putting people's names in? If a company says that it's the staff that enters the info of these people into your sign ups form, stay away. There's no guarantee that these people who are being put in your downline even exist.

5. See where they get the information of these people from. Do they fill out a form themselves and are then re-directed to your page? Or is their information just automatically put in your system? Here's the thing - if they're just putting the information in, then this company is not legitimate. They might even just buy leads at 5 cents per lead or lower and put in the information they get from them. That's how simple it is to scam someone out of their money.

So what are some of the companies that I suspect:

Traffic for less.
