Hello everyone,
I started this journey in 2008 and at that time my goal was to make a little extra money , some may call it beer money but for me it was diaper money.
I joined many sites known as GPT,PTC ,Rewards Sites and Survey Sites. They are all pretty similar, basically you complete a task and if it all went well it pays you some points that you can exchange for cash or gift card. When I started I would make $5 or $10 or if I really tried hard all day I could hit $20 on a good day.. But I noticed there were a few members, very few members who never did any offers or surveys but would cash out $30,$40 even over $50 every single day.
i decided I need to do what they are doing and what they were doing is getting referrals. There is no limit to what you can make with referrals, and getting referrals is so much easier than selling something or doing offers and surveys all day.
Step 1 Join the right sites, it is very important to not waste time on bad sites that your referrals won't use. Believe me I have joined hundreds of these sites and they are not created equal. You can find all the sites I currently refer people to on this blog Top50GPT.com
Step 2 - Get familiar with the sites you are gonna promote, you gotta use them yourself before you can expect to persuade others to use them.
Step 3 - Time to get promoting , first thing is to forget about your friends and family, you will never get enough good referrals if you focus on them. What you want to do is get your information and ref link in front of people who are looking for a site like this to join, people looking to make some diaper money or Christmas money or just a little extra money in their spare time. Here are promotional methods that work for me.
Blogging - This is my #1 way to get refs, build the blog or blogs around a central theme, so that they show up in search results when people search for that term.
Facebook Groups - Remember to not worry about posting to your wall, to your friends about this, they probably already got jobs or hobbies.You want to reach people who are looking for this, thats why you need to post to Facebook Groups, there is an endless amount of groups on related topics that will reach the right people, here are some examples of groups to search for and join, work at home moms and dads, make money online, get stuff free, entrepreneurs, deals, work for students.
Forums and Reddit - It's the same principle for this as it is for groups, target forums about those things and sub reddits about those topics. Remember to always know and follow the rules of these sites.
Youtube - You can make videos about how to make money online, work from home, work for students etc.. Just be sure to not make the video title to general, that goes with everything you do, try to pick a specific niche each time, if it's too general it has too much competition.
There ya go, thats enough info to get going with this and be years ahead of me when I started.. i hope this information helps you, if you would like to help me you can join sites from my blog, not all of them have 2nd level referral earnings but some do , so it might help me if you join the sites from my blog located here Top50GPT.com Thank You
