Out of the box ideas for getting referrals !!

[oldbuddy]

Hello, I'm new and looking to gain more referrals (Arn't we all). Here is 1 out of the box idea I use. I write this message on $10's, $5's and $1 bills (The most commonly transferred bills) "I earned this money at (your referral link here) it works give it a try!" this has gotten me 1 refferal so far. What are some of your out of the box Ideas?

WOW that is ingenious!Good thinking out of the box. I am actually thinking of leaving business cards with my refferal link at the work force centers day labors and by the computers in the library!!

You are going after the wrong crowd. Instead of people who are desperate for money, you will do better finding those who are already clicking for pennies online and show them how to make 10 times more than they are now. If your library computer users all sign up, they will get their accounts deleted for using the same IP address anyway, so what's the use?

isn't it illegal to deface gov. property, i.e. cash?

isn't it illegal to deface gov. property, i.e. cash?

Yep.
Statute 18 USC 475 states, "[w]hoever ... makes ... or ... uses any business or professional card, notice, placard, circular, handbill, or advertisement in the likeness ... of any [coin or currency] of the United States ... or writes, prints, or otherwise impresses upon or attaches to any [coin or currency] of the United States, any business or professional card, notice, or advertisement, or any notice or advertisement whatever, shall be fined under this title."

OK i have tried this and had some moderate success with it.

Join a poker site and play in games that are called freerolls.Freerolls usually consist of over a 1000 members playing for free.Every chance you get ask the table you are on if they'd like info on a free opportunity to earn some extra cash.The more interest an individual shows the more you can tell them how FC works and of course give them your link so if they join you will get credit.

Dont be a pain in the butt.If you sense the table has no interest just wait till you get to another table.Remember there are many playing and the tables always change.People here are looking to make cash without putting much up so FC might sound interesting to them.Also remember many are here also to just play poker so keep your spamming at a minimum.

This is a common strategy no matter what niche you apply it to. If Poker is fun for you, then it's a perfect application. There are many other groups around for other niches, like krafts, scrapbooking, hobbies of all sorts and even making money online. Finding where the participants gather is not hard to search out.

Good point OldBuddy......i like to tell the others in the poker game they can fund their account making money with FC....LOL!

Thanks everyone for the ideas. And a special thanks to BJohnsonPP and skippymcnapper for pointing out I recomended an illegal activity. I would also like to say I'm sorry for sugesting it. Thanks again

Actually, I don't think you did. I did look it up after reading your post and there are rules against cutting money up and making it unfit for circulation. There's actually nothing I saw that says you can't write on the money (again, as long as you don't make it unfit for circulation). This is mainly put in place to combat counterfitting. So, putting a "0" behind the "1" on a dollar bill would make it unfit for circulation for example.

I don't know if you've ever heard of something called http://wheresgeorge.com but this site, for a long time, has been tracking dollar bills by placing a stamp on them. If you find a bill with this stamp (the stamp leaves their website on the bill) you go to the site and type in its serial number to see where it has been. This site has been talked about on television so it's not some underground illegal dollar stamping ring hiding from the law. They've been around for years and obviously haven't been shut down by the government nor have they received any negative attention as far as I know.

So, I say, go for it actually.

There are a lot of good ideas for getting referrals.  I am going to have to try that.

I just saw this...

Yep.
Statute 18 USC 475 states, "[w]hoever ... makes ... or ... uses any business or professional card, notice, placard, circular, handbill, or advertisement in the likeness ... of any [coin or currency] of the United States ... or writes, prints, or otherwise impresses upon or attaches to any [coin or currency] of the United States, any business or professional card, notice, or advertisement, or any notice or advertisement whatever, shall be fined under this title."

"In April 2000, the site was investigated by the United States Secret Service, which informed Eskin that the selling of "Where's George?" rubber stamps on the web site is considered "advertising" on United States currency, which is illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 475. The website's administrators immediately ceased selling the rubber stamps and no further action against the site was taken. At least one spokesperson for the US Secret Service has pointed out in print that marking US bills, even if not defacement, is still illegal for other reasons under 18 U.S.C. § 475; however, a Secret Service spokesman in Seattle, Washington, told The Seattle Times in 2004: "Quite frankly, we wouldn't spend too much looking into this."

So, I say, go for it actually.

The part about advertising on currency may apply, especially if "FusionCash" is part of what's written on legal tender, (insofar as FC has no control over who writes a referral link on money, neither are they currently encouraging it).
