Here at eToro, we’re quite proud of the Popular Investor Program. Not only does it allow exceptional traders to stand out, it could also reward them financially. Some eToro Popular Investors have established a serious revenue stream from this program, on top of earnings from their own trading.
CopyTrading does not amount to investment advice.The value of your investments may go up or down. Your capital is at risk. Past performance is not an indication of future results.
As a Popular Investor, you are rewarded based on the overall equity copying you, defined as AUC (assets under copy). However, getting more traders to copy you and growing your AUC can sometimes be challenging — which is why we’ve put together a list of tips that can help you get more copiers and increase the monthly payments you receive.
Popular Investors who invest time and effort in growing their AUC ultimately get rewarded. Check out our tips below:
1 – Talk to your audience
You’re a great trader/ investor, right? So, make sure your audience knows it. First of all, make sure to post regularly on your eToro profile page. The bare minimum is one update per month, but successful Popular Investors post a lot more frequently. This allows other eToro users to get to know and trust you, and, ultimately, feel good about copying you.
2 – Look sharp and professional
Your eToro profile is the way potential copiers see you on the platform, so make sure you look your best. Write an elaborate and interesting bio that presents your strategies, aims and recommendations for your followers, such as minimum copy amount and whether or not they should copy open trades. In addition, don’t be afraid to hire a professional photographer (or ask that one friend who has an insane camera) to take some headshots for your profile.
3 – Go offline
“How do you know so much about Bitcoin?” or “Why is the NSDQ100 going down?” You probably have some friends and family members who ask you such questions and could benefit from copying you on eToro. Have them over for drinks or snacks and tell them about the platform and how they can copy you.
4 – Be a part of the community
The eToro News Feed is alive with debates about financial assets and the sharing of ideas and strategies — so make sure that your voice is heard! Post weekly updates about your trading activities, answer any questions posted by your followers, explain why your profits have been up or down recently, and comment on other eToro traders’ posts. Take the time to connect with other Popular Investors, especially those who are from the same country as you.
5 – Announce your targets
Naturally, you can’t promise profits, but you are more than welcome to share the targets you set for yourself, as long as you set realistic expectations. Your copiers will feel even more invested in your trading when they understand your underlying objectives and strategies. Plus, when you are excited about your goals, they will be too! Enthusiasm is contagious. Don’t forget to share each success along the way.
6 – Take advantage of social media
Social media platforms provide another great way of engaging existing and potential copiers. The content on these channels allows your followers to get to know you better and can reach a wider audience which is not yet on the eToro platform. Some suggestions for social media content that gets good engagement could be sharing your milestones and posting photos which illustrate your eToro journey; writing content that would be of interest to your network, such as investment analysis; and using hashtags to allow people to find your content easily.
