Getting Referrals - Tips to Get More Referrals

It is the most important part of this business, getting lots of referrals. The name Paid to Click isn’t just a you clicking in your business, it’s about making others click as well, thus referrals are the key to success. If you do clicking without referrals, you won’t succeed 100%. Don’t worry about getting referrals, there are lots of ways and I will tell you the most common plus I will tell you my secret way which I personally use.


Getting more referrals is the key to your success in PTC sites. You cannot just rely to your clicks, you will just waste your time for such a small earnings. Each of your referrals will earn you usually half of their clicks earnings, meaning, if you got two active referrals for example, you as if doubled your earnings. Imagine if you refer hundreds of them :)

There are different types of referrals, the basic types are:

1. Inactive referrals - these are referrals who rarely click or never click at all.

2. Active referrals - these are the regular clickers and earners. These are our target referrals to earn more.

Some PTC sites have direct referral limits so you should make sure your referrals are active. On the otherhand, some allows you unlimited referrals, so refer as much as you want without worrying whether they're active or not.

So how are we going to get these referrals? You may have found it hard to get referrals and planned to give up but I'm telling you, this is the opportunity you should not neglect. Just be patient and follow some of my tips on how you could get lots of referrals. Now let me enumerate some ways:

1. Referral exchange
2. Physical referral
3. Create a blog or website
4. Traffic exchange
5. Getref.com
6. Advertise on PTC sites
7. Purchase referrals

Now, lets dig to the deeper meaning of each methods.

1. REFERRAL EXCHANGE

This method is number one on the list because it has the highest rate of getting active referrals and it is the first method you should be using. It is a method wherein someone will sign up as your referral for a site you belong to if you sign up for one of theirs. So the chance is you will get active referrals. Though this method will only give you few referrals, take note, they are active referrals. Remember that few active referrals are better than thousands of inactive referrals. (If you want to try this method, I suggest this forum TalkPTC.com)

This method is good when you use it the right way but there is also risk for it. You will not be sure that the site they offer is trusted since some of the offerers are newbies as well. Also some will try to signup but they will never be active. If you find it hard to use this method, you may just signup to some of my top 5 PTC sites link here and proceed to other methods below that will give you more referrals.

2. PHYSICAL REFERRALS

Physical referrals is the easiest method. You will just tell your friend, classmates, barkadas to signup using your referral link and that's it. You'll just need to follow them up to make them active. The advantage of this method is that you have the control of them. What I mean is, when they stop clicking, you could easily tell them to continue by telling what you've got but, don't exaggerate. I suggest you to try this method, its simple and effective.

3. CREATE A BLOG or WEBSITE

This technique involves promoting your referral links in your website or blog so all you need to promote is just one single link. This might be the hardest part of all the method because it will consume a lot of time but its worth it. It is easy to make a blog now a days, you just need to follow simple instructions to customize is one you need to take a hard time if you want to make it a little customized. Blogger, Wordpress, and Tumblr are the most common provider for free blog services. For a more advance and professional way, I suggest creating a website. For a good tutorial, I suggest Chris Farrell's free ebook entitled "Create Your First Website by 3:45 This Afternoon". His approach is for beginners and it's easy to follow plus he tackled how you could make money with your website. Just scroll down in the page until you see a form, enter your name and email and he will send you the free ebook.

If you want more visitors to your website, it should be informative, nice to look at, and well-organized. If you build your website well and perform different traffic techniques, you will get tons of visits. You should take some space on your website to explain what PTC is. This is in case a visitor comes to your site with no prior knowledge of PTC's. You want to explain it in a way that is simple and inviting, but do not exaggerate. Please, do not make false claims to get referrals.

To get active referrals, you have to show the visitor how they can succeed in this business. Otherwise, they will be discouraged by the small amounts they will earn at first. Emphasize patience and referrals. This is how they will make money with PTC's, and if they make money, you make money. When you list your referral links (preferably banners), do not just string them all together, this is unappealing as well as uninformative. Visitors are impressed by numbers and stats. Tell a little bit about each one Just give all the information that you think is relevant. This will inform the reader that you have put thought into it.

After creating your website, next is to let people see your website. There are different techniques used in bringing visitors to your site. These techniques are very well explained by Chris Farrell in his 21 videos "I Love Traffic You Love Traffic".


4. TRAFFIC EXCHANGE
--credit to mcozbyl for sharing this method--

Traffic exchanges are a simple and relatively effective method of getting referrals. So, how does it work? Most are manual surfs where you sign up (very easy) and click on "Start Surfing." You will be directed to a framed page where you will view other member's web pages. When the timer in the frame stops, you will be asked to click on a certain number, word, or shape. Once you do, you will see the next page. So, how does this help you? As you surf, you accrue credits or points which you can redeem for visits to your site. Each one offers a different surf ratio as well as bonuses. Some offer contests which are actually fun and can win you free credits.

Advice for making the most of Traffic Exchanges:

1) Build a Splash Page! - As you will see when you start surfing, you only have a brief moment to capture the viewers attention and get them to visit your site and sign up. If you don't, they will surf right past your page. So, you need a page that will load fast and get the surfer to click! In addition, often the signup page for your PTC is not all that inviting. You should do the selling if you want them to become your referral. Another important factor: sometimes when a surfer clicks on your Ref link, if they click onto another page to check out the website, you will no longer be their referral. You can avoid this by selling them on the site before they even click with a great splash page.

Example of splash page:
Neobux is the hottest PTC on the Web! Bux3.info is an awesome new PTC which pays up to $.01 per ad. You are guaranteed at least 13 ads/day. It's so new, you will have great opportunity to build a huge downline! Join Today to get in on the HUGE Earning Potential!

So, where can you make a splash page? Splash pages are so simple and basic, that basically any page creator will work. I like Google Page Creator, as it is really basic and easy to use, and all you need is a gmail account. Pages created with google also load fast.

2) Plan to spend a few hours a day surfing. - Try to spread your surfing time among several sites. This gives your site a broader audience. I would suggest surfing two or three at once; this is perfectly acceptable.

3) Make use of the bonuses that each site offers. - Some sites offer huge bonuses that equal up to hundreds of views for your site. Take time to reach these bonuses and get free views for your site.

5. GETREF.COM

The way it works is quite simple:
1) Earn credits:
     a) By clicking links
     b) By signing up for programs
2) Spend your credits:
     a) Buy visits to your site
     b) Buy referrals for your site

It really is easy, but the results are indecisive. I have gotten many referrals from this site. The question here is whether or not they will be active.

When someone signs up under you, you have 3 days to see if they are going to be active before you give them the points. If they are not, then you can withhold the points, but it will have a negative impact on your rating (If your rating gets too low, no one will sign up for your sites).

6. ADVERTISING ON PTC SITES

You may have noticed that each PTC sites have advertising functions. You can use this function to your advantage. Advertising cost you money so you should make sure you don't go below breakeven.

How can we be sure we can benefit from this method? You should use it wisely. Do not advertise old PTC sites to another old PTC site. Most likely everyone who views your ad are already members of the site. This method is best to advertise new hot PTC sites (like ptcbox.com link here). Lots of active members will likely be interested so this is definitely a big earnings for you provided that the new site you advertise is trusted. Another way to use this method is to advertise PTC sites that payout fast, to PTC sites that take long to reach payout. Or advertise PTC sites that earn them much per click to PTC sites that earn less per click. This method results pretty good.

7. PURCHASE REFERRALS

Purchasing un-referred members from the site is a common practice. PTC sites has many members who either did not sign up under anyone, or their referrer closed their account. These members then go on sale. You can buy them for a price usually ranging from $0.20-$2.00 per referral. In most cases, you will only get members that have been active recently. This method of gaining referrals is the easiest, all you have to do is pay for them and the rest is done for you. There is huge earning potential. As your number of referrals grows, your earnings grow rapidly. Please note that some PTC sites don't have this feature.

There is only one condition: Most sites will NOT guarantee that the members you bought will be active after you purchase them. You may pay for 50 referrals only to see a week later that 10 of them rarely or never click. So, basically this is an "at your own risk" method of getting referrals.

Another important note: You should not purchase referrals from a site that you do not completely trust. There is word spreading around the PTC community that some scam sites are selling bots (automated clickers) as referrals. If this happens, the bot will either click minimally or stop altogether. You should always be careful when investing your own money in a PTC site.

Also, you should do the math. When you purchase referrals, you should be able to make your money back in 2 months maximum. Consider how much you make off of referrals as well as how many ads the site has each day. Only purchase refs at sites where you will start making profit after 2 months.

...THATS IT!!!

Now that you've learned some of the methods, its now time for you to work out on it. Prove to yourself that you can excel in this game and be one of the top online earner. Along the way, you may be able to develop your own method, which you maybe able to share as well.

Thank you for reading my article. Hope I made a difference.
