Uploading Your Referral Banners

Keeping you your Photobucket home page open, open the site of the first program you wish to build your down-line in. Go to your member homepage at that site and select the section labelled "Referral Tools", "Down-line Tools", "Referral Centre" or something similar. In this section you will see something similar to this below;

The first thing you will see is something like this;

This may also be labelled as "Your referral URL" or something similar. This is the link that other people will join through, and in doing so, via this link, will become a member or your down-line.

The next thing you see is:

This an email ad. Some sites will offer this type of ad, others will not. It is not a link that I use. Do not worry about using this as we will not be doing so just yet.

The next thing you see is:

This is a referral banner, or ref banner for short. This is why you have just opened your Photobucket account. You will use Photobucket to host this banner so that you can link to it, when you use it as advertising. It's better if you start off in an organized fashion and stay organized, rather than doing lots of little jobs and then having to stop, then organize or re-organize things, because you realized that you are beginning to confuse yourself, or that you could be saving time by doing it a different way. You will just be wasting time re-organizing and that affects your productivity levels. So before we start advertising we are going to get together everything you will need, so that when you do need it, you will be able to find it quickly and easily. So;

On your Photobucket accounts home page look to the left of the screen and you will see three boxes, in the top box, you will see an option "add a new album", in the text box below that type "Ref Banners", then click save. You have now created one album in which you will keep all your ref banners, that way you can find them quickly and easily, when you need them. It should now say something similar to "Album Added - You are now viewing Ref Banners". When you log into Photobucket again and you want to gain access to your Ref Banners folder, this will be displayed in the same box that you created the new album in, the top box on the left of the screen, you simply click on "Ref Banners" in that box and it will load that album straight away.

For now though we need to upload your Ref Banners. So here we go;

In the Referral Centre of your members section of the first GPT site, scroll down to the banners, if there is more than one you can chose you favourite, or up load all of them in turn, it is entirely up to you.

Step 1 - Right click the on the banner you have chosen,
Step 2 - From the menu that appears, "save image as",
Step 3 - Enter the name you wish this banner to be known as, this is just for your reference, and if you are going to upload more than one banner from the same site, you may wish to name them as follows; Thenameofthesite1, Thenameofthesite2 etc, just substitute Thenameofthesite with the actual name of the site ie. Fusion1, Fusion2 etc.
Step 4 - Make sure that you have "Desktop" selected from the drop-down menu at the top of this window, (This makes it quick and easy to upload from your desktop, as opposed to My Pictures or My Documents, because once you have uploaded them you will delete them from your computer.)
Step 5 - Click "Save"

Now for the next step which is uploading that banner from your desktop to Photobucket. On your Photobucket Ref Banners album you will see a large box in the centre of the screen, it will have three empty fields with each having a "Browse" tab next to it. (You can upload 3 images at a time and may be something you wish to try later. For now though, I will just take you through the process of uploading one image at a time.)

Step 1 - Click the top "Browse" tab
Step 2 - In the window that appears, make sure that the word "Desktop" is displayed in the drop down menu at the top of the window. If it isn't, click the drop-down menu and then select "Desktop" from the list that appears.
Step 3 - You will then be able to see the banner you have just saved in the large window. Click that to display it in the second text box from the bottom in the large window.
Step 4 - Click Open, you will then see a green tick appear where the "Browse" tab you just clicked was.
Step 5 - Click Upload and wait a few seconds
Step 6 - You should then see a green tick appear with the message "1 of 1 image has uploaded"
Step 7 - Go back to your Desktop by minimizing all windows you currently have open, and delete the banner you have just uploaded, as you no-longer need it on your computer.

That's it!, You have just uploaded your first Ref Banner.

You now need to create a new document on your computer using your computers Note Book or Word Processor. Label this document "Ref Links" and place a short cut to this on your Desktop or in the Quick Launch section of your Task Bar.

Once that document has been created open it. You are now going to need the following open, ready to gain access to.

The GPT site of the Banner you have just uploaded, and you Photobucket's Ref Banner album, and the document you have just created.

What you need to do now is list two links for Each site in the new Notepad/Word document you have just created. I suggest listing these links in alphabetical order so you will be able to find the links you need access to quickly, especially when you begin to join more sites, therefore needing to add more links to the document. So you need to create a list similar to what follows

GPTsiteA
http://www.fusionmails.com/pages/index.php?refid=longshanks1971 (This is your ref link for the site) Example A
http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/longshanks1971/banner.gif (This is your banner link from your Photobucket's Ref Banners album) Example B

You do this by copy and pasting your Referral URL from the box at the top of your Referral Centre page at the corresponding site, into your new document under the Title of the site (example A), then copy and paste the link labelled "Direct Link" under the picture of the corresponding banner in your Photobucket's Ref Banner Album (example B)

You have now collated all the relevant links that you will need access to, when purchasing/ordering advertising. I suggest you repeat this for all of your sites and get everything ready before going to the next stage. This will save you time and effort in the long run, thus making it less complicated and optimizing your productivity at the same time.

The next stage will help you understand the importance of, and the methods involved in, effective advertising.
