An important aspect of your success at freebie forum success has to do with your forum signature. This is something I addressed in a post on how to be get referrals at freebie forums. However, I consider this topic so important that I decided to make a separate post on how to make an effective freebie forum signature.

If you are using freebie forums such as CaliStyle101, the Free Lunch Room or Anything4Free to get referrals, then your reputation at the forums is everything. If people see you as someone who knows what they are talking about, they WILL want to work with you. You've posted around the forums, helping others, answering questions, and looking good. No, lets change that – You are looking GREAT! Every time someone reads your post, they get inspired for success. They WANT to trade with you and learn from the best.

Now, what you want to do at this point is make it EXTREMELY easy for that new trader to get to your trade thread. How are they going to get there? Via your signature of course. This is your last chance to entice them and give them easy access to checking you out a little further. So what kinds of things should go into your signature? Here are some suggestions.

Link to your Trade Thread

This is the most important thing. Yes, someone can get to your trade thread by clicking on your profile, and browsing through all of your posts, finding one that looks like your trade thread and clicking on it with the hopes that it's what they're looking for. However, that is just too much work. Put a clear link to your trade thread in a possibly creative way.

Special promotions

Promotions are a great way to entice new traders to want to work with you. Yes, people want good training. However, temporary bonuses are very attractive. Examples of special promos are:

  • Higher payouts on certain sites. Some people pay higher rates on certain sites when those sites are having referral races. I have paid as much as 100% on certain sites to win referral races of up to $1000 in prizes.
  • Special bonuses for repeat traders
  • Competitions for individuals that do the most number of sites with you in a specified period of time.
  • Anything else you can think o

Past Successes

Have you been successful in the past? Did you make a decent amount of money in a week, or even a month. Put a link to your trophy thread and show the world.

What you offer

What will you offer someone when they work with you? Let them know in a very efficient way. Examples of things you can offer are:

  • Phone and/or IM support
  • Quickstart guide
  • Free Spreadsheet

Brief Summary

Basically, in 5 lines, you want to continue to impress, and then direct them to where you want them to be – your trade thread. Here are some examples of signatures that I think work well:
