These are the three things you can do to support everyone, including your own music site, on the Surf For Local Music network.
- Claim your site! If you've been contacted by me telling you that your site is on SFLM and that you need to log in and claim your spot then don't wait around. Claim it while we are in the pre-launch phase. If so, your site is going to be in the rotation when I take the network to the music fans during on our official public release date. If your new to our network and have not been contacted then simply sign up and enjoy the same benefits. The more you read about how to use the SFLM network the more you'll discover what it can do for you.
- Surfing the network; It is important to login at least once per week to log in and surf just 13 sites you'll meet your monthly minimum surfing requirement (50). The benefits to surfing are; Acquiring credits for each site you view, Supporting the network and the members that are involved. Just remember to assign those credits to a ad. Surf the network that your ad is placed on to receive credits for that network.
- Refer others; Go to our "promote" link and use the referral links with your ID# at the end. Participate in a ad exchange and spread the advertising market for all of our users including yourself. Receive credits every time someone clicks on your referral link, or an SFLM related link on the bottom of every exchange place ad.
Another thing I'd like to point out is selecting your "email" options in your SFLM back office area. Go to your "Members Area" link (upper left), 'Your Info" Link (upper left), and then "General" link. Now it's here where you can update your settings. There are two pages related to this; One is near the bottom in the "Preferences / Summary Info" section. Go down to "Emails from Up line" and click onto "Change Preferences Settings". It is here you can decide whether or not to receive e-mails from your up line member. This is the founder, music fan member, musician, band, music professional or business that referred you to SFLM. This is cool because if your favorite band had referred you can receive there updates through SFLM with revealing your email address. Hence our "anonymous fan mail" idea and you can always go directly to their site when you feel comfortable and sign up their e-mail list directly.
Now up a little higher on this page you'll see in the "Account Information" the link "Change Referrer". Click onto this. Here you will find 3 options which are pretty self explanatory. In a few weeks some of this may change but we'll have a lot more flexability as well. It's important that you get a grasp on these basic functions now so when we do up date the site it won't be over whelming. Even so, hang in there and visit the site often taking in the information you need to get your task done. the more tricks you know on how to use the site them more you'll discover what it can do for you.
Wishing you the best,
