Referrals - The key to making money!

Referrals (or downlines) is the biggest way to make money on GPT sites. The more referrals you have, the more money you will make. The main is problem is that you have to find referrals that will be active. You can have 100 referrals but if only 2 or 3 are active, you might as well say you only have 3 referrals. I am going to give you some ways to get referrals and then I will tell you how to try and keep them active.

Click Advertising

Place an advert with your referral link on other paid to click sites. Shop around... don't pay $10 for 1000 views, most Aurora sites will charge much less. I am currently paying 30 cents for 1000 clicks. New paid to read sites (ptr) are eager to get new advertisers, so they will offer you very good rates.

Similarly, ensure that the website you are advertising on has sufficient membership. There is no point in advertising if the site is so new that you will be targeting only 20 people! Similarly a site with over 20,000 members... your advert is likely to get lost with so many adverts to click on!

Downline Builder

This is the best and easiest way to get referrals. Yes, i know that with DB you will only get one referral, but there’s plenty of PTC-forums that has a Downline Builder section. If the site is new and you are enough fast to be first you can get 5-10 referrals for FREE! Most of them will be active, as they will want to build their own downlines and earn money themselves!

Referral Exchange

In many ways this is the easiest way to get downlines. There are a lot of forums that have referral exchange sections. The system is easy. You offer to become a downline in someone elses ptc site, in exchange for them becoming a downline in yours. This exchange will almost guarantee you active downlines. Why? If you are not active, your downlines will not be active! Also, a lot of these forums have a complaints section for inactive referrals.

The downside in all of this, if you have 20 downlines through a referral exchange, you have to be active in 21 sites, clicking daily. My opinion is that you should not have more than 10 referrals, and, you should be choosing and only agreeing to exchange sites that you want to click in. There is no point in agreeing to click in a site that is clearly a scam!

Banner/Referral Link in signature.

Become active in a ptc or moneymaking forum. Forums are an excellent place to discuss and discover new ptc programs. They are also the best source of information when ptc sites stop paying their members and become scam! This is not the most effective way to get referrals, but this will not cost you anything and you can always get at least 1-2 referrals.

Guaranteed Signups!

Ptc sites will always offer signups for you. You pay about $6.99 for 5 downlines. In my experience. These downlines are nearly always ineffective. You might get one that actually clicks! If the site offers to exchange non-clicking downlines, then it might be worth investing!

I have experimented with paid signups from PTR sites. They charge $10 dollars for 25 guaranteed signups. Again do not bother. Most people get paid to sign up, and then do not bother being active!

Here is a list of effective ways to gain referrals:

• Tell your friends and family
• Include your refferal link in your email signature
• Post your referral link in your signature if you are apart of any forums (only if it is allowed)
• Make or join a group (yahoo or google) and tell people about making free cash
• Answer questions on yahoo (Yahoo Answers) that pertain to making free money
• Join Social Networking sites and spread the word
• Use free advertising forums
• Make a blog or website with your referrals links in it and write about the gpt sites you are apart of
• Advertise on PTC (paid to click) sites. They are tying to make money and will see a better opportunity to make even more. (I will give you one site in particular to advertise on. You can pay or you can earn the money and then use that to advertise.
