Here we explain various ways that you can get a lot of direct referrals for any reward sites you work with. So, if that is what you are searching for, you have come to the right place.
As you know, referrals are the best way to make money via survey , GPT and PTC sites. Once you get a lot of referrals, you can potentially make an extra $15 per day without having to click ads or complete any offers. Unfortunately, getting a lot of referrals may not be that easy.
Here we have helped you dig through the Internet, as well as apply our own ideas to compile a full step by step way you can implement this information to get more referrals than you could ever imagine.
What is a referral program?
A referral program is the way through which you refer or invite friends or people to use a particular product or service, and you earn commission for doing so. To be specific, it is the act of inviting your friends or other people to sign up for a any reward site, while the website rewards you with a commission every time the invited person complete any offer and earns money. The more money your invited friends make, the more commission you make. as well.
How the Referral Program Works
After signing up for the reward site, login and search for where there referral program link is. Just click on any place they mention referrals or a referral program. It will take you to where you will read about their referral program. as well as your referral link and banners. You can only use the referral banner if you have a website you want to promote your banner on. If not, go for the link. The link may look like this: http://www.yourptcsite.com/Emma or http://www.yourptcsite.com/233893. Copy and paste it anywhere you find lots of people who may be interested in making money on Survey (PTC, GPT) sites as well. For example, your Facebook profile, Twitter, MySpace, forums, etc.
You may put it this way: Hello, friends, I thought you might also like this. I make more than $3,000 per month working online via Survey, PTC sites. If you are also interested in making money like I do, click on: http://www.yourptcsite.com/Emma and sign up now. It is free to join.
If you have a website or blog, then you can use the banner. Just write a review about the reward site you intend to promote. Then copy the banner code and paste it into the article, as well as your sidebar. You can also write a lot of articles about making money online, or online jobs to attract more visitors to your banner.
50 ways to Get Referrals to Your Survey Network
1. Post on GPT forums.
This is a great idea, get involved in forums that are about paid surveysindustry and put your referral link in your signature. Don’t make the mistake of spamming the forum otherwise you will find your post deleted and most likely your account at the forum banned. What you want to do is become a part of the forum community and as more and more people read what you have to say, you will find people will start to click your referral link out of curiosity, this will lead to sign ups.
2.Write a classified ad.
This is something I have seriously considered many times, advertising in your local newspaper could have some very good results, your ad will be read by thousands of people and if only 100 people of those thousands bother to check out the site you are advertising and if out of those only half sign up, then that is potentially 50 referrals you could get just for running the one ad. A friend of mine who started 2 months ago is now making $800 per month. The more I think about this, the more I think that I will give it a go.
3.Talk to students at high schools and colleges.
Absolutely go for it, if you are a teen in high school then you know exactly how much your school friends need money, if you can show them an easy and legitimate way to make money online then surely they are going to be interested and if you can follow up and show them your checks then I think you will find they would be more than willing to sign up on the spot and give it a go.
4. Write your referral url or website address on every $1 bill you get
The average dollar bill changes hands hundreds of times in its life time, if you write your site address on just 100 of your $1 bills and they each change hands 100 times each, that is 10,000 people that will have seen your referral url. Write on it “make money online here”.
5. Post your link at the end of your YouTube videos.
It only takes one of your video’s to become popular and go viral and you could have your referral link viewed by thousands upon thousands of people worldwide, really worth doing this on any video you make and upload to youtube or similar sites. Tell them to make money online there.
6.Tell friends and family.
Such an easy thing to do but the most often this over looked all too often, a lot of people that don’t understand how it is possible to make money online maybe skeptical at first, but start showing them your checks and they will soon change their tune and want to give it a go for themselves.
7. Find chat rooms and groups that have the sole purpose of “Easy Money Making”
This is something I haven’t tried myself but it is worth giving it a go, it isn’t all that time consuming and can be fun and you most likely pick up a few tips and tricks from the chat room as well.
8. Free traffic exchanges
There are plenty of traffic exchanges on the internet that will help in getting traffic to your site, traffic exchanges give you a credit for every site of someone else’s that you view, those credits are then redeemed for people to view your website. The bonus with this method is anyone that signs up under you will usually be a webmaster themselves and chances are they will recruit their own referrals and start to fill your 2nd tier downline.
9. Paid traffic exchanges
Don’t have time to surf other peoples sites, then you can pay a fee to have visitors sent to your site. I would be tentative in the beginning if you try this method, do your research and your testing, if the traffic exchange doesn’t work, move on and try something else, if it does work though stick with it and go for it and build your downline.
10. Google Adwords (makes website ads that link to your website or ref. link)
Find yourself some long tail key words that aren’t competitive and you can find yourself gaining referrals at a cheap price.
11. Rent a billboard (Approx. $8-$15 per day)
This is a great idea if you can get billboard advertising at a cheap rate and one that has a lot of traffic that will see it and read your message on a daily basis. I would suggest though if you are going to go with this then get a domain name that points to your referral link. Remembering www.yourpaidsurveysite.com is a lot easier then remembering wwwyourpaidsurveysite.com/32423 the risk you take there is that your potential referral won’t type in your ref number and you lose out.
12.Go door-to-door and ask in person
If you are familiar with the people in your neighborhood then it could pay you to knock on a few doors, talk to them about your get paid to site and then offer to sign them up whilst you are there and help them get started.
13.Add your site/blog to digg, stumble upon, Bumpzee, del.icio.us, etc
This is an absolute must do for any site owner, add one or two of your articles and if it is good with a bit of luck you can find yourself with 20,000 visitors in a little under 24 hours.
14.Have a friend or network digg your site/blog to digg, stumble, etc
The more diggs you get the closer to the front page your article will be, if a couple of friends can help you out and get you a little closer to the front page then go for it, it is well worth the time you spend.
15. Get a custom made shirt with advertisement on the front and/or back
This is not as silly as it sounds, it is often we see people wearing shirts with website names on them and if you are like me then from time to time when you get home you check out the site to see what it is about. Same principal here, the more people that see your site name on your shirt will mean the more people that go home and check out your site.
16.Radio advertisement for your referral link or website.
This is certainly worth a shot if you can word an ad that piques the curiosity and gets people thinking about the site and wanting to have a look at the site to see what it is about. As you may have noticed by now, gaining referrals is all about maximizing the exposure of your ref link, site or blog.
17.Attach your referral link in your email address or signature.
This is such a simple thing to do but so many people over look it, have a think about how many emails you send out, how many times those emails are forwarded on to others and then you start to realize the viewing potential of your referral link in just your email signature.
18. Road-side signs & banners
This is an other thing that I have thought of doing many times but have never quite got around to it, that being said I think it could get you a few referrals and if you are a bit sneaky, you could make up your own sign and find a nice place that gets plenty of traffic and put the sign up free of charge.
19.Have people sign up through in order to play a fun online-game.
Did you know you can play some fun online games through some survey sites? Not many people do and this could be a different approach that you could take in your recruitment efforts. Get potential referrals interested in the games and they find the offers and surveys after they sign up, this is a huge bonus to them.
21.Put an E-book up for auction on Ebay with your blog or other website info in it.
This is a very good idea, many people purchase e-books online and from ebay, simply put your website information into your e-book and load it with affiliate links, then sell it for .99 cents or something very cheap, you will make a bit of money from the ebay sales but you will also make money from the referrals this technique will generate.
22.Send email to all your contacts, and tell them to join with your referral link.
Don’t spam, but if you are well known to all of your contacts then why not send them an email telling them about the get paid to site you are in and the money that you are earning, you will get a few people emailing you back expressing their interest and asking questions.
23.Build a huge MySpace friends list and dedicate the profile to your blog or website.
Social sites like Myspace, Facebook and Twitter are a gold mine and if you have a huge following you can quite easily get yourself a number of referrals, if you can create a successful group on Facebook and get yourself 100,000 plus members then you can imagine how much traffic you can potentially get to your blog or website.
24.Place business cards with your referral link in shopping carts.
Very good idea, the more places that you can put your business cards that people will pick them up and read them the better.
25.Put up a flyer that has your ref. link with tear off tabs on store bulletin boards.
Many people do this as I am sure you have all have seen these types of flyers in the past. If so many people do then it must work, the trick is to have a good message that interests people enough to tear off the stub and check out the site.
26. Go to the library and place business cards with referral links in books about financing, debt, home businesses, etc.
This is called ambush marketing and if done right can be very effective, don’t go overboard though and put cards in every book in the library, just a few here and there. Whilst you are at the library put a few cards on the desks as well. Make tell how much they
27. Place business cards with referral link in public restrooms.
You may laugh at this, but why not give it a go, people will read the card and that is one of the most important thing when it comes to advertising of any sort, you need people to read your message.
28.Text your link to all your friends/family.
Text a simple message such as, “check this site out” or something similar is just enough information to get someone interested enough for them to have a look at a site that you just recommended.
29. Set your in-game username to a shortened link or your referral link.
I see this all the time and usually the site name sticks in my mind, it is well worth doing this.
30.Hold up a sign on a street corner just like a car wash.
I think with this method you would need a bunch of business cards with you to give out to anybody that is potentially interested, now I got to admit I am not about to go and test out this referral technique myself but you are all more than welcome to give it a try and let me know how you go.
31. Point out that this is not a scam such as “free to sign up”, post testimonials, or “doesn’t require confidential information such as credit cards, bank account, or social security info.
A lot of people are still very reluctant to give out personal information over the internet and that is fair enough I guess, so point out the facts that other than an address there is no need to give out any other personal information to get paid.
32. Print off fake/dummy checks and leave them at heavily populated places.
Make it out to Uncle Sam for $23,000, sign it, and just below the dollar amount, put in case this check is found, please visit www.”yourwebsite”.com.
Sounds like a fun idea and could get you a few people that have a look at your site.
33. Put business cards in the credit card slots at gas stations.
This is sneaky and I think I am going to have to try it myself, make sure the cards are hanging out of the slot a bit, I’d 100% guarantee that everyone that pulls out the card will have a look at it quickly, some people will keep it others will throw it away.
34. Make business card coupons with your website or ref. link and leave at different stores with a Take One – Free sign.
This is a must do and if you can put a few flyers there as well, getting that information out to as many people as possible is what this referral game is all about
35. Buy a pack of blank CD’s and burn a run file of your website or a notepad file with a copy of your blog or ref link.
This is something I had never thought of before, but it does look professional and I think many people will if nothing else at least put the disc in their computer and have a look at what is on it.
36. Get pencils, paper, pens, magnets, etc printed with your link on them and “leave” them lying around.
You can get all sorts of stuff at Vista, not only business cards and the good thing is you do not need to buy bulk purchases you can just buy a few at a time. I’d suggest buying fridge magnets and leaving one on fridges at all your friends and families houses.
37. Start up a free online game site full of free java and flash games and embed your banner into the top of each game.
If you in to making websites then this is for you, any site that is getting traffic not only a games site, I would put a banner on the site and get yourself a few referrals it also helps making your site financially viable and helps to pay server costs etc.
38. Paint your referral link on your car and go on a road trip across America.
I wouldn’t paint the link on car, maybe purchase a magnet for the door or you can do what I have done and purchase a stencil for the back window, my back window is now a mobile advertising bill board and seen my thousands of people every day.
40. Put the link on your msn name.
Pretty easy to do and is easily seen by all of your contacts.
41. Pass out cards at a trade show.
Once again this is about getting your information out to as many people as possible.
42. Write your link on the back of a restaurant paper place mat.
Well, can’t say I have tried this or heard of anyone doing it, but if it was me at a restaurant I would try this and leaving a business card with your tip.
43. Offer to help find their first referrals after signing up under you.
Helping those that are helping you make money can be a huge incentive, offer to find a few referrals for each of your active downline members will be very much appreciated and an added incentive to work harder.
44. Write an article.
I would suggest writing many of these and putting your referral link or website address in the bottom of the post where you tell people a little about the author, a well written informative post can be well received and read by many.
45. Paint your referral link on the street
Hmm… maybe do this in the middle of the night.
46. “Brand” yourself with a familiar name on forums, articles, etc.
Absolutely do this, everything I do online is by the name adam7one a simple google search of the name comes up with 1120 results, so try and stick with the same name if you can and build yourself a respectable reputation and you will find that people will listen to what you have to say and will be more likely to sign up under you rather then someone they do not know.
47. Reserve a booth at the next festival or fair and set up a wireless laptop for demos.
What better way to get people to sign up then to literally take the site to them and showing them the benefits of the get paid to site itself, you can talk one on one and show people how to complete offers and get started and you can get them to sign up on the spot.
48. Cross-link your website, blogs, articles, posts, and classifieds.
If you have more than one site then cross linking can build up your search engine results, the more back links you can create the better.
49 Get custom-made ink-filled shoes with your ref. link embedded on the bottom so everywhere you walk, it acts like a pen and stamps your link everywhere!
Maybe this one is going just a little over board, but I reckon it would be a lot of fun.
50.Use Social Media Sites To Promote Your Referral Link Or Referral Blog.
Use popular sites like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Tagged and other social sites to get more referrals! Pretty easy to set up accounts there! You can advertise on facebook, linkdin, popular forums etc
Wish you all the best in any of the ways you choose to get referrals to your sites. But before you rush out and start accumulating referrals we will like to know what you think about the above listed referral tips.
