Okay. I've done a secret click and a paid click today. We have a referral contest and a daily survey bonus contest going on. And yet none of you want to talk about us on other message boards. LOL!

What's it going to take to get some love from you guys? Because I'll be happy to give it. No special Disney cashout yet since we just had one. But what kind of contests/promos/etc. would it take to get you all posting on other boards about us instead of the *cough* other reward sites.

Let me hear it and I'll do my darndest to make it happen.

I'm on SEVERAL yahoo groups and I've mentioned it over there but I don't get many responses. I don't know if people don't understand or what but the couple that joined in the past by my referral haven't done much. I'll go and post again and one other place. I'll let you know if I get much feedback.

I am loving the rewards!

as far as the others? i dont know any and i am happy about that!


Posting on other boards, well my Dis parcaption has droped alot since i have found the sr fourms! and its hard to post about sr on the dis :(

And other then that that is all i post on alot! Sorry! I tell eveyone i know about SR only one was willing to try and has not gotten very far!

I wish i had a great idea, to bring in more people and help grow SR!!! But alas i am out of any ideas at this time! I mean the extra .50 for referal is great. and the contest for us wonderful! you do so much to provide offers for us to do! and the community for us to play in.

Thank you!:) :heart: :sunshine:

Kick us all out of the Sunshine Rewards Forum and lock the doors until we post elsewhere???????

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Okay.....not really.....we'd all die!

The only other board I'm on is the DIS, but don't go there as often any more. But I'll gladly go give some love. (Hmmmm....thinking of what I could get away with asking for. :rotfl: )

I like your blog idea. I think I might do one over the weekend. I love trip planning and SR so it would be good but I agree its the keeping it going that is tough. If I didn't have a crazy exbf who stalked me on myspace I'd make my profile public again since I have linked/posted about SR over there but I am not risking it (sorry tricia - my friends do see it). :(

LOL! That would probably be bad. :rotfl:

I'm trying my hardest to think of ways for you all to drum up referrals. I can do regular advertising on my own (little known fact--I actually have an affiliate program that people with freebie sites belong to--they earn about .80 per signup instead of the 2.00 you all get). But if I'm going to spend money on advertising, I would rather give it to all of you to spread the word.

I'm going to have to get more creative here to help you all out. <thinking cap>

08-16-2007, 03:55 PM
I guess we could all go start our own blogs and write a whole entry about disney to get the blog picked up in searches and then write a whole entry about SR. That would help spread the word.

I just posted it on slickdeals. I hope they don't kick me out of there (the only thing would be I couldn't post.) They don't like self promotion but I'm not doing it for myself. I didn't say anything about giving a referral. I'd just like for them to join but if they ask me for a referral, I'm going to give one!!! LOL!!! :angel:

SunshineGirl
08-16-2007, 04:03 PM
One thing that will help some of you women is that www.chattywomen.com is almost up. So some of you will be able to blog on there about anything you want and add your referral banners. I'll even give you some things to blog about to kick you off. We actually have Janet's blog almost up and running. At least the beginning of it...

On cafemom I mention SR on my profile page and then I also belong to a group there and mention it - and I also have a referral link on my signature, so when I post it's there.

I think all of my referrals are probably from one or two yahoogroups I belong to, though.

Interesting. I have seen an increase in scrapbook shopping on the site. Is that from people you two are referring?

Would trying to negotiate some special deals or coupons for some of the kind of interests help? Or are most people not big online shoppers?

Tricia and SG! Can I just tell you how nice your site is. I have never been to another rewards site until I heard of SR. I was reading Moday on the dis board and everyone was talking about some other site. So I went there and was totally lost. Have no clue what to do so I refuse to do it. If SR was as confussing as it was I would not still be here. Your site is so user freindly and easy to understand. You have really made it simple to move around in. I really wanted to post on the DIs Rewards that this particular ** Group sucked but I am to chicken. Dont want people reaming down my neck. But I just wanted you to know this place is AWSOME! :sunshine: :sunshine: :sunshine: :sunshine:

me too. I might do a google search for other disney message boards and ease myself into them. If I find one I'll pm you about it and we can tag team it. Also, I'll be creating a blog and then posting on everyone here's blog this week to bump them and get traffic to them. I'll post my link once its up and everyone can do the same. Gotta create traffic to get those webcrawlers to find them.

I would love to do a blog but just haven't gotten there yet. I am a huge online shopper and actually have a list of things to do when I get back. But right now money is tight getting my store up and running. I know that there are a lot of people that own little websites. I have a close friend who does bottlecaps and one that does american girl clothes and so on. Maybe if we put you on our weblinks you could do the same thing. I asked both of them about if they knew how to set up an affiliate program and both had no clue. But on mine I have your website as a link. And disney vacation scents. And anyone else who wants to be there. But I don't think I get a ton of traffic. Gonna go pack and think here.

Too funny. I'm re-reading Order of the Phoenix, and Dumbledore's Army was just discovered...then I come here and see that. :)



Kick us all out of the Sunshine Rewards Forum and lock the doors until we post elsewhere???????


Thats the truth! Turns out I did just post to a SR thread on Dis, but other than that, it just feels silly to post about SR over there, since the forums here are so comprehensive.


And referrals just don't work for me. My IRL friends don't care, I have posted with referral link and "Sunshine Rewards" written out on my xanga blog and on my livejournal journal (all public posts), and didn't even get noticed by your google web-searchers. I've posted my referral link and the words on cruisecritic a few times and never got noticed by anyone, not even your google function thing that seeks out such things... I once got a PM by a new Dis member, asking about SR. I gave her a TON of info, and tried to be honest by NOT giving my referral link (b/c the rules seem to say you have to be specifically ASKED for the REFERRAL, not just asked questions) but saying if she wanted my referral link I'd give it to her, and never even got a THANK YOU for all of my typing.

So, nothing seems to work for me, not to get referrals and not to get noticed by SR's referral/blog-mention-of-site system, so I just focus on my OWN earnings...


And it looks like I was too late for the hidden link.

YEA!!!!! You all are awesome. I'm going to have to come up with a nice little contest for the forum now so that we can give away some prizes. Hmm....gotta think about that. :)

Now the big question. Have any of you gotten any referrals??

Most of mine come from info I've given on a yahoogroup and 2 of those people hit the $5 mark pretty quickly - and one of them is on the BigBoard!:cooldance:

Don't forget to tell everyone that if they sign up through a member instead of the general signup, they get 2.50 instead of 2.00. I want you all to get credit for your word of mouth. :)

Okay---hope I don't lose my membership--- I posted SR on the grocerygame.com!!! You should really check it out. It takes a little time to get started and organized, but I have not had to buy shampoo, conditioner, deoderant, Electrosol, razor blades, pudding, cake mix, syrup, etc. for MONTHS!!!!! PM me and I'll send you a copy of my binder labels and how to set up your binder. You won't be sorry!

Some of you MUST be getting referrals because I have seen an increase in memberships of about twice today what we normally get on a Thursday. Now I just have to ensure that they earn their 5.00 so that you get paid. :)

I hope some one is getting refferal credit! And i hope they join the fourms so we can give them a proper welcome!

Mabey offer a 1 cent incentive to create a fourm account! and make 1 post! I bet that would bring the into the fourm

Bryan you are welcome!

I was going to post this as a new thread but then I decided to check out the new posts to see if the referral thing was being talked about.

Tricia, when is the .50 supposed to credit? at the same time as the 2.00? Because I have referred a couple of people and I see they only have the 2.00 in their accounts.

And I have been shamelessly plugging SR over on the disboards on my pre trip report, but I was told I'm not allowed to post links so I have to get people to PM me and then I reply with the referral link. Unfortunately I got a few when I first started and now this referral program has started. Also I finally got my sister to sign up...1 day before the referral contest---grrr...

And most of my referrals don't seem to want to earn any money!

I posted a very shameless plug...lol....over on my facebook account. I wrote a large "note" and pasted the link there and begged all my friends to join. I hope it works! I also posted a couple of things on a couple of disney/park groups that I am in on facebook but that was before the contest began, and I don't think I got any leads from there.

Also, one more question---for those who I referred before this contest started, if they earn their 5.00 during this contest period does that mean they are included or is that just for brand new referrals?

on Creatingkeepsakes.com message board and do scapbooking swaps but the past 9 months or so Disney planning and moneymaking have kept me away.

I semi regularly post on Geocaching.com but they don't seem the type to do SR. There are quite a few women who do cache. Maybe I'll try mentioning something there. I don't think we can have any kind of banner type things though. Geocaching is our family hobby, although it's been way too hot lately.

I'm sorry -- the only other board I post on (other than the DIS, but I don't even post there now) is private for only about 30 women so that won't help since you can't find it. But I have been putting my referral link there, I promise... Here's a quote:

Here's the referral link for the Sunshine Rewards site I was telling you about. I'm up to $1,383 now from just this site, and that doesn't even count the "extra" from the "special cashouts" like the one where I just got $350 in Disney gift cards (that just came today!!!) for only 330 credits. That's free money earning me even more free money Including those extras, I'm probably at more like $1475+ in just a year's time from this one site.

After you sign up for your free account, it's also a good idea to join the Sunshine Rewards forum. You will learn the ins and outs of doing rewards or GPT programs (things like get a different email account that you don't mind getting spammed, how to get a free "real" phone number to use for offers, etc.) and get an idea of what offers are the best to do. There are a lot of survey-type things, daily surveys, sign-ups, trials you can do that cost a few dollars , and the easiest way to rack up free money is to shop online through their links for a % back.

This site is run by a former corporate attorney who now stays at home with her two little girls and came up with a way to share the money she was making from advertisers off the people who clicked on the links on her mom's website with other moms, to give them a way to earn a little fun money. Great concept, great site, wonderful owners... and I have come to love the community as well.

Anyway, have fun with it, and let me know if you have any questions.

I'm doing what I can - I've been talking up SR on my pre-trip report over on the DIS and mention it a lot in my LiveJournal profile and posts. It's very difficult to talk about SR on the DIS, because I don't want to get in trouble. Thankfully one of my pre-TR readers PM'ed me about SR and I got a referral that way (who is active and over her $5 now!:cooldance: )

and I didn't even get to find out about the special click because I had to *gasp* do work all day yesterday at work!

I don't post anywhere except here. Until now, I was too afraid because I had lurked for so long on other boards and watched members rip the heads off of new people, confused people, etc. I love this board, everyone is so tolerant and do not automatically jump on people. Now, the scammers, spammers I can totally understand jumping them.

BTW, ya'll got just a little over ambitious on GottaADeal, they removed the post.

I have sent emails to friends and family. I have hope that my sister and neice will actually join when they get back from their Disney/Universal trip. My sister knows about gpt, etc but really only gets into this stuff near Christmas when she is hunting deals. And, my neice is a SAHM to two little boys and could really use the extra income. So, I really hope she joins.

Yup they did...but not before we got a an inquiry about SR!! I got a PM from a long time member and was able to give her referral link. So it ended up being worth it and hopefully she'll follow through. I wasn't too suprised they deleted the thread. I've lurked there for a long time and it can be a volatile place.

That's wonderful! It was funny reading it before it came down. I wanted to go on and tell them ya'll weren't one person, but then it would look like I was the one person. :rotfl: So I just moved on. But, at least you got a referral, every one helps.

What's it going to take to get some love from you guys? Because I'll be happy to give it. No special Disney cashout yet since we just had one. But what kind of contests/promos/etc. would it take to get you all posting on other boards about us instead of the *cough* other reward sites.

Let me hear it and I'll do my darndest to make it happen.

Ok, let's see extra earnings rollover to next super member quarter....

I learned about SR on the Dis - Restaurant Reviews. Sarah - SM from NC did hers and said how she got in an extra "free" dinner thanks to SR. I PM'd her and that's how I found out about SR.

I had NEVER scrolled to the bottom of the DisBoards until she told me about it and I had been addicted to the DisBoard site since August of 06 but didn't find SR until March of 07!

If someone does a dining review and thanks their SR gift cards that may help.

Had 3 people PM me for additional information. One is a SR member and haven't heard back from the other two. They may all be SR members since I didn't state which reward sites because I was afraid of getting in trouble for trying to get referrals.

can you add scrapbooking merchants to our list of "get credit for shopping with them" . sorry about not knowing the correct terms, but i am still new and learning.

i belong to a few boards, but posting about this would seem to violate some soliciting rules. but i may beable to throw something in, if scrapbooking was included. i buy stuff from one particular site, for digital scrapbooking, it is possible to contact them and make arrangements if possible.

plus some horse shopping places that might help also.

not sure how to do any of the above, but i might help me to bring the topic up. plus of course if the site that i shop at would be a member, i would buy more from them! LOL


just curious how you bring up the topic without it sounding like a solicitation, which i seem to see as against most rules.
