This is no secret but have you been using it for your business?

Getting free referrals from your existing contacts, subscribers or customers is a brilliant way to grow your mailing list.

As lots of people keep on claiming that money is in the list and you have to find multiple ways to increase your subscriber database, you wouldn’t want to avoid using this simple, yet powerful tool.

A Tell-A-Friend Script.

What the script does is give your website visitors the ability to refer other people to your website. Just by simply adding a few names and email addresses, your subscribers can refer their friends and contacts to your website without having you to bug them to do so. If done properly, your website visitors will be more than happy to refer not only one, but probably 5 to 7 contacts at one time.

I’ve done some marketing test on a product using just a tell-a-friend strategy and within 2 weeks, I collected more than 700 subscribers. I know that 700 is not a big number but if it’s free marketing, why not do it?

Moreover, you install the tell-a-friend script on your webhost once and your marketing effort can run on its own over time. It won’t stop there. The people that have been referred to your website will find the tell-a-friend webpage and use the script to refer more people.

This is when the marketing effort takes care on its own.

However, not all tell-a-friend scripts are created equal.

If you do a search on Google, you’ll find many companies or individuals that offer free tell-a-friend services. Beware that most of the time ‘free’ does not always mean ‘free’.

These companies might be offering the services for free. In return, they will put their own ads in front of the people your website visitors refer, or worst, they collect your referrals info as well.

I find that installing a script on my own web server is the best for me, but it’s up to you to decide if there is any other services that suit your need.

The script that I use is from Alex Sampson’s Explosive List Building bonus gift. Alex call it a Revolutionary new ULTRA ‘viral marketing’ CGI script. I call it a ’simply brilliant’ tell-a-friend script.

At first, I thought Explosive List Building package was already over-delivered, but when I started using his tell-a-friend script, I knew I would actually be more than happy to pay $97 for this product (FYI, Alex is selling Explosive List Building for only $67).

If you want to see the script in action, go here:

The tell-a-friend page looks like a normal referral webpage, but let’s analyze the webpage above a little closer.

1. It tracks the referrals’ IPs. That means, you actually need to refer the exact number of different people to my website before you get to claim the ebook. (in this case, I’ve disabled this feature for personal reason).

2. It sends out emails when someone uses the script. This will be use to keep the record of who and how many people
refer your website.

3. It has a check box to be ticked by user. This will avoid spamming by people and also harmful script out there.

And many other features that I won’t list here.

Now, what I’m giving you today is a simple trick to increase the size of your mailing list with very little effort from you.

Set the script once, promote the referral page in the initial stage, and see people referring others to your website over and over again.

You can invest on the script by getting a copy of Explosive List Building Package, or find a better one somewhere else. If you do get the Explosive List Building Package, I’m sure you’ll find out more gems inside the ebook.
