As I ponder how to make extra money online, I am realizing that the amount that you make only grows exponentially if you can attract and get referrals. The big question is how can you get referrals. What proven strategies do you use for acquiring referrals.

That's true, referrals really do help a lot in increasing the earnings. I usually get referrals from facebook. I have two accounts there, one is for personal use and the other one is for my online store. I get screenshots for proof of payment and I post it in facebook.

hello, getting referrals is one of the most difficult thing in my opinion. most people are not good at persuading other people to join something. and i must say that i also fall into that category. also a big problem is the lack of awareness among people for that thing. but still there are many forums that are available where you can post your referral link and promote it. thats the best way i know for getting referrals. i think it helps you. i also face the same problem a lot of time. also use social networking sites to promote and tell all your friends and families.

I agree it is pretty tough to learn how to get referrals. I mean a lot of talk about how they make a lot of money from this site or another. You join thinking it is easy; then you realize the only way they can be getting that type of earnings is with referrals. Many times you get discouraged because you do not have the knowledge of how to attract referrals.

Hi aireanna18, there are many methods to promote your referral links. The easiest one is traffic exchanges.You can surf sites and earn credits. Otherwise, can purchase credits using your money.Use these credits to get published your links on traffic exchanges.

There was a time that I used to try to get referrals. I've gotten a couple from having a blog - but mainly it's been people I know personally, like friends and co-workers. It's very difficult to get referrals. I think over a year that I was working hard at getting some for a particular GPT site, I got a total of 20. All were inactive. Ha. I feel like there's got to be a better way than hope for a million referrals.

a pleasant day aireanna18, indeed getting more referrals is the heart of online business. you will really earn a lot if you have more referrals. in this regard, you must have the key to earn first the people for them to trust you. so as not to give any false belief and information. in this way, you might convince them to be your referral. generally, if you will promise them something then will not tell the real story behind the cycle then they will definitely have you as their referrer for the second time.

just to add up on my postings, giving them the real story of the business cycle will definitely help you to win their heart to have them as your referrals. thus, in the field of any business, telling the truth will help you to reap the successful life of business, either online or offline.

From your post, I am hearing that part of getting referrals is building your reputations online of being credible and reliable source of information. I am interpreting your post correctly?
