Referrals Strategy

United States
December 27, 2009 6:27pm CST
Having referrals under your account, is another way of earning more in mylot and other ptc's or online earnings sites. I have no referrals yet. I also don't know how to convince people for referrals and If I will get one, I might not keep them active. What is your strategy for getting referrals? Do you think is it effective? Are your referral active? What did you do to have active referrals?

My Referrals are not active. My first referral was my husband, and he isn't as active as I as his work schedule is different then mine. Another way we both tried to get referrals is asking friend's. That also didn't work. I've put my link on various traffic bearing sites, but while two referrals came of it, they aren't active. We showed the payment proof to one of our friends, but he created an account but I don't think ever did anything with it. other friends were active for a bit, and one is sometimes active still, but no one is as dedicated to mylot as my husband and I are in our group of friends. I am sorry I could not be of more help but the only thing I could say to do is referral exchanges that is you refer people to mylot and they refer you to one of their sites.

I appreciate your input for this discussion. I have also tried immediate family as one of my referrals but my siblings does not have enough motivation for this kind on online earning. Also some of my friends have no patience in this kind of activity.

I have the same problem. Renting referrals also cannot be assured of being active. I do not have referrals under me in sites that i am in. That's the main problem I have and I earn very less because of that.

Yes, I agree. All my referrals are all from ref exchanges. :( But anyway, the site that they are joined in is still in prelaunch, so I guess I can't do anything about that. :P But if you are interested in a referral exchange feel free to PM me. I've added you as a friend and hopefully we can get active referrals from each other. It's a hard business, this is.

Most of the referrals I have aren't active anyways. It's pretty much a waste of time. Unless they're actually interested then it's not going to help you much. The ones that I have that are active are actually friends who I know personally that I showed some of the discussions to. They got interested & I got them to sign up under me.

This is exactly what I mentioned on my previous comment. I found it useless, it is not worth of our money, time and efforts. Trying to find some friends of the same interests.

Well,finding referrals is also my problem and keeping them active is much difficult I guess.But some ways of getting referrals are:- 1.Posting your referral link in forums,social networking sites,directories etc. 2.Displaying of banners on your blog or website with a little bit of information of those sites. 3.Referral exchange.I think this is the best way of finding active referrals.However I never tried these methods due to lack of time.But I am thinking to give them a try.Hope it's of some help to you.

Hi Mariah Thank you for posting this information. It reminds me to use this technique to get more referrals. Even if we do not know what they will be after signing up but at least there are chances, the most difficult part of acquiring referrals is how to keep them alive.

I am working on net to earn money since 3 year and my experience says that we have to wait for a long time to reach at minimum pay out or else we have to create a huge number of referrals under our down line. SO as you have said how will you convince people. I am from India and I have joined some Indian site who pays me regularly to post articles in there site after getting my first pay out I wrote a blog about my experience in that site and also I attached the payment proof in that blog and then I promote that blog in different free classifieds then I got so many good referrals under me but It is very convene to them to stay active who wants Immediate earning from a site

i not good at invite referrals actually and i ever have one referral on mylot but soon he tired of the slow earning here and quit it already.i only work here alone and i know there are someone really good at referral others and they paid some part to the referral of the referral bonus. that's a good earning way.

I reminds me to share or post your referral link in facebook, blogs, forums in that ways someone might get interested and join. But chances are low and keeping them motivated is tough but at least we try and we will never know what happens.

For me I don't have a referral in mylot but on the other site I have by doing that you must inculcate to them and understand to them this is the way you do meaning you gave time to explain so that they understand, if there's a rented referral you must rent so that it can add your points.
