Most of us are working very hard to get direct referrals for free.. we all try all the available channels and strategies to attract direct referrals.. I notice many mylotters use a lot of techniques to get direct referrals for free.. (1)some people use referral exchange sites.. (2) some publish their referral links in forums or in making money sites.. (3) others promote their links in social networks like tweeter or fb.. (4) most preferred asking friends and relatives at least they can request to have them click there ptc everyday.. (5) they create their own website to promote it.. Are doing most of these techniques? what is proven effective to you to get direct and active referrals for free?
