Referrals - Do you find it hard or easy to find them?

Australia
May 12, 2009 5:38am CST
I ask this question because no matter what I do, I find it hard to gain referrals for the sites that I have joined. I have even joined sites such as getref & a referral forum but still to no avail. So at the moment, I am plodding along at my sites until I reach pay out - hopefully showing payment proof will help with me getting more referrals. What are your tips to find referrals if you find it easy to get them?

It's difficult for me to find refs. I don't know how and where I can find them. maybe I should have a clog first. and then? How can I improve my blog?

If you get good traffic to your blog or have a bloggersparty account, it shouldn't be too hard once you can show payment proof...that's what I'm gonna try to do.

For me, I have found it easy to find referrals quickly for some sites, and for Neobux, I have found it hard. Don't give up on finding referrals. They are out there. Certain showing proof of payments do help.

Sorry Moonchild I don't have any tips for you as I always had the same problem as you and never had any luck in getting referrals for my programs even by using getrefs and programs like that, they would join up under me just to get the points and then never go back to the site again So if you work it out and find a way let me know too......

I'm still trying to work it out but will definatley let you know once I do :) I have however discovered that when you let people here on mylot know you have been paid by a site, you will get some referrals - I recently let everyone know I was paid by incentiveclix & was surprised that I ended up with 3 new referrals :)

hmmm..it is a bit hard, but if you can prove it to them that the sites you sent them invitation are legitimate. that's what matter i think..coz they will join it if they feel it safe instead of just a spams..oh and you should explain it to them about paypal too and how does it works. coz sometimes they just understand that's why they feel unnecessary to join the sites.. i got 3 referrals til now lol and i don't mind it..i prefer the earning from my discussions lol

That's the same as what I'm doing for now...once you reach pay out & can show the payment, you could spread the word & that could get you some referrals - thats what I plan to do.

i find it hard to get referals, ecause my family members are not really into the stuff that I do on line. I guess they have jobs and lives that bring in more cash. LOL Too many places where I'd like to leave my referal link won't let me leave it there becausetheyconsider it advertizing.

That's what I;m doing for now...I do however plan to brag about a site once I can show my payment proof but if I don't get paid, I will brag about the scam sites too.

OK, the ways I use to get refferals, is first I make a youtube video, about how well that site had been working for me, and how you should try it, and also, I have some school friends who want to make some money, so I tell them, oh this is a good website, I have been paid before, and blah blah blah, and then they join, for myLot, I have two people who are real life friends reffered under me, and if you make a youtube video, tell them maybe if you get like 100 referrals, you will give them a 200 dollar gift card to Best-Buy, or whatever, this way, you will bring in a lot more referrals, and an easy way to make a youtube video, is by using Windows Movie Maker, I have used it, and it is very user-friendly, and easy to use and function... Happy myLotting =)

hard for us if we dont know how to do it, easy for everyone if anybody knows it.. we should have our own tactics or agenda on how to improve referrals but i would suggest that u just post reponse and reply blogs to earn more, thanks mylot.com godbless

Yeah, I agree. I have a hard time finding referrals. I have a few referrals for a few sites, but obviously they aren't for the sites that I would like. A lot of my referrals are very inactive, too. The only site I had luck with referrals on was destroydebt, which would have panned out well for me if the site had stayed up. I don't get it! Even my well paying sites that pay with no minimum cashout and pay automatically each week, I still get inactive referrals!
