Use Online Service's For Almost Nothing
How would you like to use the major online services (CompuServe,
America Online, Delphi, Genie, and Prodigy) for practically
nothing?
Well, you can if you know a secret little marketing technique.
Have you ever noticed that these services will give you something
like 10 FREE HOURS for every friend you get to sign-up?
Well, you can use this incentive to get practically unlimited
free usage (except for the monthly fee).
There are a few ways to do it. For one, you could just make
a lot friends online through business or leisure interests
and "pitch" each service and why they should join
as you did. You could persuade a business colleague what that
particular service is doing for your business and ask him
just to try it for one month, for free! And you will get those
free hours credited to you.
The other way is an interesting marketing technique. If you
put some extensive thought into it, you could design a little
marketing campaign like this:
Place ads online (on any of the services) and tease users
with the idea of using the online services for practically
nothing. Then market a report about how you are running this
campaign and tell them you will give them the rights to use
it (just like you are doing) if you could sign them up for
one of the services for a free trial. Then they sign up for
free, and you get credited some free hours. This person can
then go and happily try to do the same thing.
There are so many people online already with thousands on
the way everyday. A lot of these people love to use these
online services for plenty more each month than their hours
that come with their monthly fee. These people would love
to learn your plan to get free usage. So sign them up for
a service you are using (and they aren't), teach them how
to do it also, and get some free hours. EVERYBODY WINS! Even
the online services.
