Members at
Surf For Local (SFL) have several ways to promote their website but is there an opportunity to earn money here? Can you put that money torwards credit purchase or member level upgrades?
The answer to these two qeustions is "YES". You can earn money by referring SFL to other webmasters who become a paid member. Member's commision levels advance as they upgrade to higher levels. The money you earn as a SFL referral affiliate will allow you to purchase addtional credits, exclusive advertising and membership level upgrades. You can do this by using the "local cash" option. Alternativley, I can either pay you through Paypal or send you a check from my Company (
Eccentric Musician Company).

* Note that the example above a fairly generalized as a member you can refer a prospect to any of the paid membership levels so it is very likey that your sales would a combination of various SFL offers.
Once your at the top, As you can see you can make a decent commission level @ 47% on your referrals so why not try? I understand that our membership levels are more expensive than other traffic exchanges. In my opinion most do not have a long term business plan and a shared marketing strategy. At SFL you have an opportunity to earn money, promote your websites and websites of your peers for a price. SFL offers a generous commission level so this is a great opportunity.
Starting high; There is an advantage of just buying into a paid membership level right way regarding SFL referrals. If you purchase a paid membership level, your commissions will be higher and each referral will get you closer to breaking Free for each month you sustain that level. I suggest you start at "Honorary Membership" because when you upgrade from "Honorary" you will receive a rebate. If you do upgrade and then decide to go back you will go back to honorary rather than to free so long as your within you annual memberhsip term.
SFL Memberships that offer an extended opportunity;
Traffic Exchange Consultant & SFL TrEX Agency Memberships
These members have the option to receive a specialized splash page that allows them to sell their URL ad space as service. You are the advertising consultant and your clients are webmasters who do not have the time or know how to manage thier advertising on a traffic exchange. They find you and you offer them one of three or more Tr-Ex advertising service packages and you keep 100 % of the profits. You also will have the ability to upsell our credit packages to you clients and receive a commision for your efforts because at this membership level your credit purchases are offered at a discount. Again you sell at our retail rate and you keep the rest. This is an awesome opportunity to earn extra cash while you continue to promote your own affiliate sites.
For our affilate marketing members at these levels who do not wish to upsell SFL services you can still take advantage of these additional advertising slots you have available to you.
