How to Get Your Own Direct Referrals?

There are a hundred ways that you can get referrals for your downline on your PTC sites or to advertise your affiliate programs. I'll just feature the most popular and easiest ways for you to get more referrals so you can earn more from your money-making programs.

Get Referrals Through Your Blog or Website
This way of getting referrals isn't the easiest but it sure works and is very effective. All you need is to setup your own blog or website and post all your referral links and affiliate programs on there.

My most recommended free Blog site provider today is Blogger. Your blog's domain and address will end with blogspot.com though (like my blog at onlinesyndrome.blogspot.com. However, if you want to start your blog right away and you want convenience in setting it up and updating it, then, go for Blogger. You'll still have full control of your blog and the contents.

Also, don't just put all your referral links on your blog. Make it look professional and interesting. Try to write something that could convince people to join your PTC sites. And, as much as possible, be as truthful as you can.

Lastly, make sure you also post YOUR OWN payment proofs so people will see that earning from your PTC sites is actually possible.


Get Referrals Through Facebook and Other Social Networking Sites

Pinoy Online Money Makers Facebook GroupIf you already have a Facebook account, why not use it to advertise your blog or post your referral links? You can also join other Facebook groups and post your referral links there. At my Facebook Group page - OnlineSyndrome Money Maker (currently unavailable) - you simply join the group and you can post your referral links for everyone who visits the page to see.

Now, aside from Facebook, you can also take advantage of other Social Networking sites such as Friendster, MySpace, and other social networking sites to promote your referral links. You can invite your friends to join your money-making programs so you can also earn from them as your direct referrals. This is the easiest way for you to gain referrals. Be careful, though, not to spam.

Get Referrals Through Twitter

Another way for you get referrals is through Twitter. All you have to do is sign up for an account, follow people that you know have a lot of followers and post a reply to them by typing in @ followed by their Twitter username - for example, @OnlineSyndrome. Make sure, though, that one you're following is related to your blog or making money online so you won't be tagged as spamming Twitter.

Also, you can follow me on Twitter - @OnlineSyndrome - and we can Re-Tweet each others posts so your referral links would reach others who are following me, and vice versa. To start Re-Tweeting with me, follow me on Twitter, type in "RT @OnlineSyndrome" followed by a re-post of any tweets that I posted recently. I'll then Re-tweet any of your recent posts.


Get Referrals Through Referral Exchange Sites
There are a lot of sites that you can join to get referral links. One of the best sites I've seen is Getref.com.

What's best about Getref.com is they're much like a PTC site, where you also view ads or websites and you earn points that you can later on use to get referrals for your money-making programs. They have a huge list of money-making programs/sites on their site.

Once you have enough points to use, make sure you decide on your requirements for those who'll be joining under you. For example, you can require them to click for 3 straight days before you pay them. Make sure you check regularly to see if someone already signed up under you through GetReferral so you can pay them right away.

Another way for you to earn points through Getref.com is to join other people's money-making programs. This can earn you more points and it's faster. But, you have to take note that they also have requirements before they pay you or give you your points. Also, you have to make sure you click on the referral links on Getref.com and not go to the site directly to sign up. Otherwise, you won't get credited.

Another Referral Exchange site that I'm using is Downlinerefs.com. They work the same way as Getref.com - you can click on member ads, too, to earn credits that you can use to advertise your website or to get people to sign up under your money-making programs.

Get Referrals Through Posting in Forums/Discussion Boards
This is another effective way for you to get referrals. All you need to do is sign up with different online forums and join in the discussions. Then, place your referral links or blog address on your signature. However, you have to make sure that you're not violating any rules or policies on forum signatures.

One way for you to get faster referrals through this method is to be active in the forums and not just join and post nonsense replies to threads. Why? Because if you do, you lose potential referrals because they'll look at you as just another spammer.

I suggest you also sign up with Mylot.com where you can also earn through being active on their site, posting sensibly in their forums, completing numerous tasks, etc.

Get Referrals Through Posting at Ad Networks
Advertise through Ad networks and Sulit Buy and Sell Philippines. There are a lot of free ad networks or websites that you can join where you can post your referral links or affiliate programs. One of the most popular ways is through Sulit.com.ph. Why? Because it gets a lot of traffic and they actually top the SERP (search engine results page) on almost any keyword that users posted an ad for.

All you have to do is join Sulit then post a Free Ad. Write something to convince people to join your PTC sites through your referral links. You can even advertise your blog or website on Sulit. It'll help you gain more visits or traffic. You can also setup your Sulit page with all the referral links you have. As an example, here's mine: onlinesyndrome.sulit.com.ph.

Advertise through other PTC sites
Most sites also pay their members advertisement points that they can use to post their own websites or referral links/banners. You can even buy ad space so you can get more traffic or clicks on your referral links. Or if you want, you can just advertise your blog or website with all your referral links.

These PTC sites also offer Clicks Exchange where you'll get traffic or visit points that you can use to advertise your blog/referral links or website. Most of them offer a 1:1 ratio, meaning when you visit one website, you get one visit in exchange for it. Make sure you check your Account details page to check if you have advertising credits that you can use.

Get Referrals by Purchasing or Renting
This is one of the best ways for you to get referrals. You won't have to worry about setting up your blog, joining different sites, etc. All you have to do is earn enough money to purchase or rent referrals from your PTC sites.

Most PTC sites only offer rentals of referrals. This is actually the best way to go. Do not purchase referrals as you cannot be sure if they'll be all active or not. Simply rent referrals and only keep those that are worth keeping.

Note, however, that it's best that you are already an Upgraded or Premium member at your PTC sites so you can maximize your earnings from your referrals.

Those are just a few of the different ways that I gain referrals for my PTC sites and affiliate programs. If you would like to share how YOU gain referrals, leave me a message. I'd love to hear from you.
