I have a question for making money on line, how do you get referrals? Do you pay for them? If not, how do you get them? It seems you can't make money without having them but I have a hard time getting them. Maybe it is just me, but it seems to be very hard to get them. I have one site that I rent them because I trust the site. I have rented them from other sites and got burned. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I dunno any efficient way to gain referrals.However,i do have a way to promote for the site and gain referral.What i do is open a topic in some website about the site i want to promote.The tips is not revealing the website name to them and ask them to find you if they got the interest to the website.By doing so,your thread can be kept alive and you can get more referrals this way without paying.Hope my advice can help you,happy mylotting

Thank you, I will have to try that. It seems I am spending more and more time here at my lot. I get so many good tips on different things. It is hard not to spend too much time here.

Do you have friends? Do you have family? They are your best referrals. Invite them. Go to forums. Reach out. Make friends. Do blogs. Join social networks such myLot. Join forum. Be mindful of forwarded messages. They may not all sign up but they are leads. This is work but it is fun.

You might try traffic exchanges, it works, is albeit very labor intensive. I got something like 1,500 referrals in the various traffic exchanges themselves, that way my promotions by now run pretty much on auto-pilot. However, I spent two years promoting in those exchanges, and it's definitely not something for everybody. You need a lot of patience, discipline, and a certain madness LOL to do that, since there is hardly any interaction with other users. Apart from the fact, you donĀ“t only want referrals, you want 'paying' referrals, and that's even harder. But you might like it, check it out. Try the biggest exchanges, your chances are better there. Good luck.

I will have to agree with others here, network marketing is the keyword, patience and being honest with whom you come across. I always try to show my payouts to my followers on my blog, just to let them be confident with what I do and to show them they wouldn't be wasting their time. So many scams out there and I don't want to be considered as one of them. I am personally always on the lookout for new opportunities, but on the other hand I want to feel confident about what I join, so if people dont show their honesty by maybe sharing a proof of payout etc, I will usually not join them. I hope that helped.

Yes, that is so true. There are more scams out there than the legitimate sites. It really helps if you do know somebody that has been paid by them.

I'm a member of 2 legitimate sites that do help you get referrals for your programs. I have received many referrals for my programs from those sites. If you want, add me as friend and I will give you the links.

I have asked my self the same question many times and so far I have no idea how all of this works. In every site I am a member of I am on my own I have also tried to rent referrals but so far I have paid more than what I get back from them or there are times that I get the same amount I put in. I have tried to tell my friends about the sites but most of them if not all they just look at me as if I was craysy. There was one friend that did join two of the sites but so far he only stayed in one he was also a member of this site but I guess he did not like to type or read . But I do wish you the best of luck so you can find the right way to get referrals so you can earn more than what you are making now.

Thank you, my friends do the same thing if I tell them what I am doing. They say it is not worth all the work you put in it. Some sites are really hard to reach the payout. Hopefully if I can learn how to get referrals it will make it a lot easier. If I have any luck I will let you know.

Creating a blog and putting all your banners that includes your referral link will get you referrals. But you should promote your blog to get more views. Joining social networking sites is also one way interacting with fellow online earners.

I make blog about making money online. From that blog I put all banner for making money where I joined. I get referral from that blog. From my experience they will join with us if we put not only banner but we must put proof payment
