trade.io Head Of Business Development, Terence Tan, has provided an exclusive interview clarifying some of the details of our recently launched affiliate and refer-a-friend campaign. Here is what we asked him and how he responded:

1. What is “somethingbigiscoming.io”?

TT: It’s an amazing pre-launch program that we’ve conceptualised and pushed out in preparation for the launch of our upcoming Cryptocurrency exchange. It allows affiliates to start seeding their communities and build awareness for our exchange and in return, we will be rewarding deserving affiliates with great prizes and rewards.

2. What is special about this affiliate program compared to others?

TT: Well, I like to think of this affiliate program as one which is “Built by affiliates, for affiliates”. We’ve created numerous promotional tools like banners, email swipes, content videos etc to make it really easy for affiliates to promote our program. In fact, I call it the “Copy and Paste” program because you literally just need to “copy” the materials we give you and “paste” them in your desired medium and let us do the heavy-lifting for you.

We even do the follow-up and conversions for you once your leads have opted-in. So we take care of the entire conversion funnel for you.

3. What’s your favorite part of the program?

TT: Definitely the promotional tools. For the simple fact that this allows ANYBODY to leverage on our program to start referring leads to our program and let our funnel convert the leads for you. It really is that simple to get results from the program.

Plus our promotional tools can be used on email, social media, instant messengers, video sharing sites… literally everywhere!

4. What qualifications do you need to be an affiliate or to refer a friend?

TT: Just 2 simple qualifications… I call them “D&D”… “Desire & Determination”

Other than that, no other qualifications needed.

5. When do payouts start?

TT: Payouts will start once our exchange is launched. Anybody registered with trade.io will be kept up to date with our final launch date via email or via our social channels.

6. What advice would you give to anybody wanting to make money by referring a lot of traffic to our website?

TT: Spend some time brainstorming where is the potential target market that will be interested in trading on our exchange.

A lot of times, affiliates haphazardly try to blast their links everywhere without thinking if the person seeing the link might be interested.

Well, I want you to have a paradigm shift. Think about where is your target group of potential customers, then position yourself in front of them and present this to them!

The more targeted the traffic, the higher the chance of conversions!

Remember, not all traffic is created equal.
