If you have business cards or scratch cards, leave a few of them randomly on the shelves at Barnes & Nobles.. behind books (not in them) Don't leave too many as to annoy the people who work there. Put them behind the first book.. so that when someone picks it up, "What a pleasant surprise!" Try leaving behind Internet Business books, Work At Home books, or Pregnancy books...You may be thinking, "Why pregnancy books", but there are a lot of moms on this site and there are still a lot of women who are stay-at-home moms and they may want a little extra money... babies are expensive.

* Leave a business card/scratch card under a few keyboards in a computer lab at your nearby community college... They'll at least get curious and look it up and then they're already half-way there.

* When explaining Treasure Trooper to someone, don't say anything like, "You'll make $4000 a week" or "You'll be able to quit your job." Instead say things like, "I still have to work, but it gives me some nice spending money," or "When I first tried it out, I thought it was a scam, but out of morbid curiosity I tried it out and it turned out pretty cool."
If you make it sound too good to be true, they'll think that it is and never try it.

* A lot of people have Treasure Trooper banners they post on they're sigs on forums or on their myspace and underneath it says, "Make money here." I feel like I'm violating someone by shoving something down their throat. Instead, I wrote "Click here to see what this banner is about and instead of directing them to Treasure Trooper, I direct them to a blog I wrote about WHY they should try Treasure Trooper." If you take the time to explain more, then people feel like you're a friendly person and that they know you. Example:

Car Salesman A: Buy this car. It's the best car.

Car Salesman B: Hey, how's it going? What kind of car are you looking for... something good on gas? dependable? something big? Let me tell you that the Toyota Echo offers the highest gas mpg in the entire Toyota line and like all Toyotas....

Which car salesman would you buy from?
