In my previous articles I have focused on Method 1 which is the way you want to start with Freebie Trading. In this article I would like to focus more on what you need to do to get started on Method 2.

First of all before moving to Method 2, I suggest that you have done at least 5 to 8 trades in Method 1. This is the least amount of sites I recommend you do before starting on Method 2, as you will need the experience to teach others this business, and to accumulate some funds in your paypal to pay your referrals, and you want a least this many sites to have to offer new Freebie Traders. This should also give you a decent TR rating (Trader Rating) to begin so new traders will trust that you know what you are doing and are good to work with. I personally greened on 12 sites before I started Method 2. Hopefully your trader has mentored you on the best sites to have greened on from the start. I would suggest you have sites that are:

1. Repeatable Sites (meaning you will be able to keep sending new referrals to them and cashing out without ever having to green on that site yourself again )

2. 1 referral cashout sites, (which means you can cash out for as little as 1 referral) This keeps money in your paypal to pay your referrals

4. Good support sites, (In another words if you have a problem they are quick to help you resolve it, and when you put in an order for your prize they issue your prize in a reasonable amount of time)

Some mentors recommend doing Referral to Referral trades before starting Method 2, but I feel that there is too much scamming going on in the referral to referral trades for someone that does not have a lot of experience and doesn’t know what to look out for. In my opinion it is usually better to do these type of trades after you have a lot of experience and you just want to trade to acquire a particular site. This is a decision best made by you and your mentor.

One of the more important things you are going to want to do when moving to Method 2 is to create your Signaturel

On freebie forums such as CaliStyle101, or the Free Lunch Room to get referrals, your
reputation in the forums is very important. Beside creating a Trade Thread you are going to
want to post,post,post, by helping others,and answering questions. Every time someone reads
your post, they get to know who you are and that you know what you are doing and they will
want to trade with you. So when they are reading those posts you are going to want to make is
easy for them to get to your Trade Thread. This is your chance to attract them. So what do you
put into your signature? 
Here are just a few suggestions that your may want to say:

Ok, lets take a look at creating a "Trade Thread" in  a Paying for referrals area of the forum
you are working on. This area is pretty simple. You are advertising to pay a referral to do a
 trade for you on one of your IFW site.
Now we have our 5 to 8 recommended sites. lets take a look at creating a "Trade Thread" in
a Paying for referrals area of the forum you are working on. This area is pretty simple.
You are advertising to pay a referral to do a trade for you on one of your IFW sites.
 Your trade thread should include.

1. A short summary of who you are and your goals in this business, and what the benefits of
 working with you are. 
2.The sites you have to offer. (you don't need to list them all,especially if you have a lot.
 It would be better to just mention you have many more and to please inquire if there is a
 particular site they are looking for.)
3.How to contact you.
4.How you will pay. Will you be paying them on Green or on Approval.
(A.Paying on Green means as soon as the trader has completed the requirement of the site)
or (B. Paying on approval means after you acquire theneeded amount of referrals you
need for your prize and cash out) 
5. Prices you are paying for each site. Most traders offer at least 50% of what they get.

You will probably want to look on the forum you are working on and see other trade threads to get an idea of how you might want the layout on your Trade Thread to look. Remember your trade thread is your representation to the other traders and new people on the forum.

Your Trade Thread Title 
 
Your Trade Thread Title is a lot more important than you realize. The people that
want to make money online want to know the quickest way to make money today.
Even though they may also want to make money long term, when they are looking to 
start they want to make money now. However, it is important not to take advantage
of new traders by making outrageous claims. We are their mentors and need to teach them
that quick is not necessarily the best way to be successful.
