Tips and Tricks for Referral Building

As explained in my previous post on referral building, referrals/downlines are an inevitable part of GPT business, if you are serious about earning money from them. Thus anybody involved in these businesses would be on the hunt for quality referrals. This makes your job of finding referrals even tough as there will be hundreds of other people trying to attract referrals to the same program as yours.

Some others may even throw out some lucrative deals like Sharing back their referral earnings with their referrals themselves (this is called as RefBack earnings), reciprocate their joining by joining in their referral's programs, sign-up incentives when advertised through Paid to Sign-Up offers, etc.

Some of the other common means of earning referrals include participating actively in quality forums of the same niche, proving your worthiness to the forum members to get referrals among them, posting referral links in your websites or blogs along with a little introduction to the program, etc.

Results of these methods depend on how much effort you can spend from your side in terms of time and also on the success of your advertisements. Sometimes it may take a few months and many times no results at all due to ineffective advertisements or inadequate time spent on the work.

This makes the referral building activity seem more complex than ever. For all those who cant afford or establish success in the above methods, there exists lots of programs in the internet which can successfully build your referral for any program. They are known as REFERRAL BUILDERS or DOWNLINE BUILDERS.

Referral builders use reciprocal methods, viral marketing and paid membership as primary means of acquiring referrals on your behalf. These programs follow the basic rule of business: Sell your products only in places where you have your consumers if you want to make great profits.

Where else can you get more referrals for your program other than the place where there are other like-minded people? Referral Builders serve as a HUB for all those aspirers by linking them with appropriate referrals.

If you are one of those already successful advertisers, bloggers or web site owners then you may continue to find referrals in the same way. But you must also notice that it may not be always possible to extract referrals from such sources. We must always try to out multiple ways to attain the goal if we want to reach the goal quick. So downline builders or referral builders can compliment your needs apart from what you earn by your other means.

Here are some of the referral builders I used to build my referral count in PTC, PTR sites and I can assure you that they would surely be of some help to you too.

BuyRefs.Com provides quality referrals at a very much affordable price. The price is even lesser than the cost of a Paid to Sign-Up offer in any PTC site (both Aurora and Bux sites). Price per referral is only 24c. BuyRefs offer a variety of sign-up packages including USA only sign-ups, International sign-ups, Premium sign-ups, Banner sign-ups, etc.

BuyRefs accepts PayPal, AlertPay and MOneyBookers (2% special discount for BuyRefs payments). That gives you good amount of options regarding payment processers.

BuyRefs also offers a great affiliate program. You get 10% of any purchase done by your affiliates on the site for your life-time.

DownlineRefs.com is a downline builder for those who are not yet ready to spend money in acquiring referrals. You may list your program requesting for referrals in the site. When referrals sign-up under you, they will be awarded the credit you had bid for the sign-up. Thus you need to keep maintain a good amount of credit in your balance to continue getting referrals.

GetRef is yet another Downline Builder that uses the concept credit for your sign-up under other members. This site also provides detailed statistics of a member under whom you are about to register especially the count of Approvals or Denials that the member has in the past. With this info you can avoid registering under those who simply deny any registration and hence rest assured of the credits you deserve.

The most important thing is that most other reciprocal downline builders will demand that you must stay completely active in any program you sign-up for at least a month. This will cause a huge delay in you earning the credits for sign-up and also increase the chance of denial. But GetRef  require you to stay active in the programs just for three days from the date of sign-up. Thus you earn quick credits here than any other program.

Free Targetted Traffic to your website

Be it a simple blog or an article posted in a third party web site or your own website for your business or blogging TRAFFIC is the most important word that you must always think of. or rather a thing you should be most worried about!

Ever increasing web content on any given topic, some of them well elucidated than yours and some others well marketed than yours always pose a great threat to the amount of visitors to your web site.

How much ever is your web site optimized for search engines, it is never possible to maintain a consistent search engine rank if the number of visitors to your site do not keep increasing every day. Traffic building programs come to our aid at this point! These programs bring in loads of traffic to their members using 2 major means - Paid Advertising, Traffic Exchange.

Paid Advertising - This option may not be viable for most small business sites or small bloggers. Cheapest cost for a good traffic would be somewhere around $4 per 1000 visits to your sites. One cannot afford to rely completely on this option because all those visitors may not convert their visits to business which means you end up spending all money for no actual profit.

Traffic Exchange - This option is widely used by all publishers due to the low cost involved in it (usually free!). Here the programs make other members to visit your site as a reciprocal of you visiting some other sites listed on the program. This is usually on 1:1 ratio i.e. for every visit you make, you get one visitor to your site. Now you would have realized achieving great traffic through this method is also very tough as you cant afford to visit 1000 sites a day to make 1000 other visitors to come to your site.

Traffic Exchanges thus provide you with various other options. Some are here -

1. Earn visit credits by referring new members to the program, 
2. Viral Marketing
3. View some of the paid ads on the program, 
4. Opt-In e-mail lists, 
5. Upgrade 

All programs may not serve you all options. Opt-In e-mails could be both reciprocal type and paid.

Due to the number of web sites that are launched each day, lots of traffic builder sites have also come up to serve the members. While some of them do really help in building your web traffic, most of them are here only to see their own profits.

Having tried some of such sites myself, I would like to recommend a few for you so that you don't have to follow the same trial and error method I did. All the sites that are listed here have been helping people in bringing up their search engine ranks, maintained and thus improved many peoples' businesses.

You may join in any of the below sites by clicking on their banner or name links.

This site helps building your traffic through ads and opt-in e-mails. You can earn lots of credits by viewing those e-mails, mails sent to your account inbox, referring new members and completing surveys. More the points you have more the amount of traffic and money you earn. You want more? This is a profit sharing site. What they share here is shares to their own web site ownership, based on the number of credits you have earned. Further you get a $10 sign-up bonus.

TrafficDigger has been one of the most successful in traffic building through their viral advertising program. In viral advertising there are multiple lines of referrals. You will earn credits for each of your direct referrals and the referrals of your referrals, which goes to 6 levels deep in TrafficDigger. Here you add an advertisement to your web site which is free. You ad will be shown to the TrafficDigger affiliates.

This is the simplest and efficient of the methods listed here. All you have to do is to earn some referrals to the program under you. The larger the number, the better is the result.

Below is an example if you get ONLY 10 downlines, and each of them get ONLY 10 downlines (Table from TrafficDigger.Com).

Level	Downlines	Downlines per level
Level 1	10	10
Level 2	102	100
Level 3	103	1,000
Level 4	104	10,000
Level 5	105	100,000

Referral Building - The tough job

My next few posts would be on Traffic Building to your site and Building downlines for your programs. Prior to that, I would like to share my view on a common scene in referral building – People evading to join as a referral when using your referral links!

Are you one among those who wish to earn some bucks from GPT (PTC, PTR, PTSU, PTW, Money Cycler, etc.) business?

This post is for you! You are most likely to join one or more programs that suites your interests. As part of that process, you for sure would research about the program that you might join, try to collect some past facts about them and learn about their operations to ensure that you are attracted towards the legit and best ones.

By now, you should also be aware of the fact that "Referrals" or "Downlines" are integral part of any online earning business. It is inevitable that you should look for referrals that would join the same programs you joined under you. Thus it becomes imminent that you would advertise the program, post in some forums, your websites/blogs, share the info on social networking sites and also invest in Paid to Sign-Up offers to get referrals under you.

Though whatever I have said above is unequivocally true for any program or anybody, what I do notice in reality is this – When people are offered registration links for some good programs, we tend to ensure that we do not join UNDER them as referrals.

While in most programs the referral field is editable and users may clear the form before joining the site, some other programs make it non-editable in the best interests of their referrers. Here’s the better part – Users manually clear all cookies and cached web pages before clicking on that “REGISTER” button, so that the referral information is removed from the page JJ

While I really don’t have an idea of what could be one valid reason for this, I do wish to explain few things here!

1. Most important thing – Referrals are the most important thing in GPT. No one can make a countable profit single-handedly in this business. Everyone needs referrals in order to see some good amount of cash regularly.
2. No Fees – No program would charge us to join as a referral under somebody who is already associated with the program.
3. No lesser bucks – No program pays lesser commissions to us than our referrers. We always get the full amount of what we are supposed to get from that program.
4. Rented Out – Almost all programs rent out its un-referred members to its users for some cash. So if you don’t join as referral under somebody, the program is going to earn lots of cash by renting you out where you don’t have any option.
5. Help others and get helped – Why try to escape from joining as a referred member? Why let the already profiting program to earn more money by selling you? Instead if you are sure to join a program and if somebody’s review/advertisement/suggestions helped you to make that decision, we can choose to join using their own referral link. That could be one of the ways of complimenting the referrer as that person would be eligible for referral commissions from the program. This is a WIN-WIN situation. If everybody agree with this and stick to this, getting referrals for your programs in future is going to be a cake-walk!
6. Paid to Sign-Up offers – This is one of the ways in which people to seek to get referrals. Users are paid by the PTC site to sign up for a program advertised by the advertiser as advertiser’s referral. The crazy thing is that, even though most advertisers agree to approve the sign up only if the user joins as the advertisers’ referral, we still try not join under the advertiser (not to mention those people who post false sign up confirmation letters to get paid by the advertiser). This is not a fair play at all!

Please respond to this post with your comments. Share with me your views about the issue and some better means to reduce this from happening.

The Ultimate Paid To Click Guide - The Good and The Scam

Paid to Click websites are a great way to earn money online. These websites let you make money without extra effort, require no skills, and are free. All you have to do is click a few ads, read a few mails or complete a few surveys. Staying active in a number of these programs lets you earn steady and regular online income. Here in this blog we aim at identifying the best and top paying PTC sites while listing some of the scam sites too. Make use of these resources and launch your PTC career successfully.

That said, it doesn’t mean that Paid to Click web sites let you earn a fortune in no time. Time is the key investment for money makers in this business. You have to spend quality time in reading various blogs (there are millions of blogs on this topic and many might be misleading). User must ensure that the information obtained about a PTC website is from a legitimate and reputed forum. The same information shall be confirmed from other forums too.

Investment of time necessitates that the user have lots of patience and perseverance too. Many user take this approach of earning as a quick of way to get rich and stumble upon the scam sites, only to lose their earnings and hope. Remember that the number of legitimate PTC sites constitute not more than 15% of the total PTC sites. It is very simple for you to meet a scammer and it's harder to find an actually paying site.

It is advisable that you become part of forums/online communities like PTCSite, TalkPTC, EarnMoneySpace, Squidoo, myLOT, etc. Watch these forums closely and actively participate in discussions. Post all your questions and gain some knowledge on what is this business like and what are the latest trends in it. Whenever you are about to join a PTC/PTR/etc. make sure that you do a thorough search of the site in Google and online communities. Stay away from the sites which are in SCAM list or Watch list of those communities. Sites in the Watch list may also be legit but are of high risk due to the fact that something is unusual in that site.

When you do find an actually paying site, next thing you should understand is that, a paid to click site cannot pay in dollars for a single click you make on their ad and keep it open for a few seconds. When the work is so simple and quick, how can we expect the payment to be high? The average valid payment that a paid to click site can offer is $0.01 USD per ad click and average number of ads you click in a site in a  day is usually between 5 – 10. When your account balance reaches the minimum payout value, you can request for a payout.

Then how come thousands of people brag that they made out over $100 a week or even over $1000 a month. Well, by applying some common sense with high perseverance of course.  These people do all that was mentioned above. Research well before joining any PTC, join and patiently click on the limited number of ads available for a standard user. Slowly market the referral links of those sites in their blogs, online communities, etc. to gain referrals to their PTC. This is generally the first step in increasing your revenue from a PTC. Referrals are free but their clicks get you referral commissions. Once you receive your first few cash outs and feel comfortable about the PTC’s operations start investing in it by buying/renting referrals sold by the PTC. Yes! Another key to gain from PTC is re-investment. This is the main reason why you should spend quality time researching about a PTC before joining it. If you find that the PTC is a scam only when you request payout (some PTC wait till you make your investments) then it’s a huge waste of time and effort. Keep increasing your direct referral base simultaneously to exponentially improve your earnings from a PTC.

Payment Processors:

Majority of PTC’s pay its members through PAYPAL or ALERTPAY. There are various other options like snail mail check, Google Checkout, Self-marketed debit cards, etc.

Sites to stay away from:

The reason I post this list first is that most people view only about good PTC sites and move on. It is equally important to keep abreast of the scam sites to avoid problems in future or even to alarm a friend who is about to join such sites.

This list has no end. Everyday there are dozens of new PTC sites budding out in the web. Hence I am listing only those that I have experience with. Please visit at least some of the online communities I mentioned above. Most of them have a PTC scam site list, which is updated by hundreds of users daily.

       1.       BillionairePTC

       2.       OneDollarPTC

       3.       MegaBuxxClicks

First two are profit sharing sites i.e. you will be credited with over $1 per ad click in your account. But when you request pay out, you would be paid even less than $0.05 for the $500 in your account.  The amount paid out is calculated as the percentage of profit that your clicks caused the web site to gain into the accumulated amount in your account.

Third one is an ads only site. Ads only sites are PTC where you can only convert your earnings into advertisements to be posted on the same site. You cannot earn cash from such site. MegaBuxxClicks is even special in this regard. $500 in this site can be converted only into $0.025 of ads click credit (Average ad costs $3 CPM).

All three of them have one thing in common. They are owned by Mr. Jeffrey Johnson (Jeff Johnson). Search this name for scam in PTC business and you might even decide to run away from this mode of earning.
