Starting an autosurf program isn’t as easy as one might think. The massive amount of new autosurfs makes it hard to stand out. Generating users in a rate fast enough is even harder. When setting up a new Autosurf program, there are a few things you might want to consider;
Web Design
Even though autosurfers rarely look much on the design of a program, having a nice website will make it far easier to stand out. If you put some effort into it, it WILL show, and people will see you are in it for the long run. Buying an autosurf script and implementing it without any customization will give an impression of a "hit and run", and people will be less likely to join AND upgrade. If your website looks like its going to disappear in a week, nobody will use it. If you make it look like its going to stick around forever, people will feel much more secure using it.
Splash pages
For a new Autosurf, getting members is the hardest and most important part of it all. If you can’t recruit new members, you will have problems with allocated credits. If you only have a few surfers and pages in rotation, people will have little reason to surf with your program. No use earning and allocating credits if there are only two people who will see them.
Make sure you build a few splash pages, the more the merrier. You are hoping on people to refer new users to you, making the promotional pages stand out will increase the chances of this succeeding. Try to vary the theme as much as you can; anything to grab the autosurfers attention.
Make sure you make it worth the effort to refer new users to your autosurf, if you only give the referring surfer a small percentage of the credits earned, not many will promote it. But, don’t overdo it; if you give away to much, you’ll be standing with nothing left to make money with.
Surf Ratio
Be sure to really think about the surf ratio you are offering. If you try 1:4, not many will sign up, and if you go with 3:4 you will have trouble making any profit using the remaining page views to your own pages – whether it’s splash pages for other traffic exchanges or affiliate pages, getting only one out of four page views won’t cut it. On top of this, it will not leave many credits to sell, nor will it make much room for upgrades. If you plan on implementing surf bonuses, contests or other ways of earning credits without surfing, 3:4 ratio will limit your options. Remember to consider the percentage given to the referring surfers as well, if you are offering a multi tiered referral program, calculate accordingly.
Stock up credits
Before you launch, be sure to have a large quantity of credits on other autosurfs and traffic exchanges. If you can recruit 10 users the first day, you chances of success will be far greater than if you only recruit your best buddy. If you can find more than 10, you are off to a very good start.
