Who gets a lot of referrals from Tell A Friend Marketing? Does it only work for e-commerce sites?
This is a question I hear a lot - people see "tell a friend" on so many big e-commerce sites that they begin to wonder if it works for other sites as well.
In fact, only a fraction of our members are e-commerce sites.
We have tons of success stories from sites based on services, content, articles, bulletin boards, online communities, auto-responder gateways, blogs, and simple "company brochures".
Here's a secret to success with tell a friend marketing: It's more important HOW you use the service than what kind of site you have.
