Exposing Your Ref Links

All of these internet income ideas are fruitless and overly time consuming if you try to complete them by yourself. The key to making money from these services is to build a downline, as I've said many times before, because the more referrals you have the more money that will be earned by you daily. On freebie sites a referral gets you one step closer to that sought after gift, on a PTC site that referral is getting you a little bit more cash every day (it adds up quickly!), and on WF3D that referral will help you earn more cash through their active referring.

Your probably asking yourself, "How can I get my link out there for people to notice?" Well there are many options for you to do this which I will cover in this post.

Traffic Exchanges

Traffic exchanges are probably the easiest way to get views of the site you are trying to refer people to. To get a good pay-off from these sites, however, you will need to put in some time as you must earn credits to spend on your site to have it shown to other members who are surfing. There are 3 traffic exchanges I use regularly, EasyHits4U, Traffic Era, and Traffic-Splash (listed in order of preference). Essentially all you do is sign up, enter your referral URL as your site to promote, surf other people's sites through the Traffic Exchanges interface, and then assign credits to your site so it will be viewed. There's an inherent problem with this type of service though. Most people are just surfing so their site will be viewed and are not interested in other people's sites. Your target, however, is that group that might see your page and think "That is interesting, I'll give it a shot." and to get your page to those people you need to advertise in volume. The more time your site gets viewed the more chances you have to reach that one person. Sure it can take some time, but it does pay off in the long run.

Youtube Videos

Youtube is a great way to advertise a freebie site or a PTC site because it allows you to show the prospective referral exactly what they're getting themselves in to. This means you'll have less inactive referrals because people just won't bother with a site they don't think is worth it. Many people like to make their videos flashy, but I have found that a simple, clean approach with a song playing in the background (to hold interest) works much, much better. Here's an example video which I am currently using to promote my youripodtouch4free link. It's simple but I haven't promoted the video outside of a link to my youtube page in forum signatures and I've received a couple referrals from it since I've put it up so it is worth it.

Thinking Outside the Box

The best way to get referrals is to present your link in way different from the hundreds of others trying to get referrals. There's a bunch of ways you can do this, but I'll just hint at one that is incredibly easy to do and the rest of the nation will do your promoting for you. Have you ever seen a dollar bill with a face drawn on it or the words wheresgeorge.com on it? Why can't that be your referral link? Sure it's technically defacement of government property, but if you get fined for it, you'd be the first person I've heard of.

Join Forums

Forums are a great way to expose your link, but make sure you follow the rules of the forum. If they only allow links in a certain section only post them there. Be respectful and build up a good reputation because annoying senior members will get you nowhere. If you make everyone think you're a jerk they will just ignore your future posts and they definitely won't even consider helping you out with your sites. If you're trying to do freebbie sites or you want to get in to the freebie site game I would suggest checking out this new freebie forum. They're just starting out which means you can get in on the ground floor and start building a good reputation from the start. They do referrals through a conga line system (you can find my youripodtouch4free conga here) and since they are new that means in most cases you could be next in line for a conga that you sign up for. Definitely worth taking a few minutes to at least check out.

I hope you found some use from this post, as usual comments and questions are accepted. Just leave a comment and I'll get back to you!

How I Started My Online Income

As I mentioned previously, I started building my internet income with only a $30 investment. I was able to turn this first investment into $300 in just couple of weeks. Don't believe me? Well here's proof of the payment from Transcendent Innovations. Trainn runs all kinds of sites that require you to do an offer and then refer some people to receive your reward. These rewards range from DVD recorders to iPods to plain old cash through paypal.

I'm sure if you're reading this site you're looking for help in starting your own income with the internet. If you're willing to put some effort in and make deals with people for referrals, focusing on one of Trainn's sites is probably the quickest way to get started. On my first Trainn site I offered each potential referral $5 for signing up and doing a referral. The easier referral sites will only cost you $2 to sign up, these sites are Amazing Web Stores, eAuction Tutor, Yahoo Success Center, Increase My Margin, and a few others. By doing this you help your referrals by both paying for the offer they must complete and paying for their first referrals offer to get them started. I'm extending this same offer to anyone reading this who wants to get jump started making some money online: Sign up at my current Trainn site, youripodtouch4free, complete an offer, and then drop me an e-mail at meyer.ptc@gmail.com with your paypal information to receive the kickback.

Now you may be asking yourself, "How am I supposed to get my 7 referrals to get my $350 from that site?" Well there are many ways to go about this. You can sign up on getref.com through a link in one of my previous posts and begin making a reputation there, you can make a youtube video advertising your referral link and how to complete the site, you could make your own blog detailing your first foray into internet money making with a post about that site as your first venture, etc. The only limit to ideas for getting referrals is your own imagination and ingenuity.

The great part about completing one of these sites as your first project is that you are already $315 into profit which you can use to start quickly building other sites like I have. I will detail what I have done with this money in future posts to start building my income streams, but until then all your comments, questions, and criticisms are greatly appreciated.

Is a Cup of Coffee Worth $2.5 million?

There's one thing you will always have to remember about everything in life and that is that "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch" which is a phrase popularized by Robert Heinlein. Everything program has cost me something, be it time, money, or both. These prices do come with their rewards, though, in the form of rewards, cash, and a network of like minded people. With that being said, I'd like to jump ahead into a program I have just recently started before I talk about the "free" offer sites that I used to get my start in making money online. This program is called Work For 3 Dollars (WF3D).

Simply put, WF3D is a forced matrix system in which you pay to get in and then you receive money for referring people into your matrix. However, this program is different then other programs of it's kind in that you only need to refer 3 people to fill your direct referral line as opposed to others that require as many as 9 referrals to start making a profit. WF3D is a forced 3 x 15 matrix which means you will get paid for 15 levels of referrals but only need to refer 3 yourself, then they refer 3, then those refer 3, and so on and so forth. Being a forced matrix also means that if your upline has already done their 3 referrals, any additional referrals will spill over into empty slots in their downlines' referrals. You will get paid for these referrals that spill over into your matrix.

Along with a very easy to complete and promote program, WF3D offers several eBooks for your use. I have only taken a look at one of the eBooks so far, but even that one book brought up all kinds of marketing tips and strategies that I had never thought of before. That book alone is worth WF3D's entrance fee if not more because I am sure I'll be able to turn around and apply those ideas to my other programs.

As a member you will earn $1.00 for each referral in your 1st level and $0.12 for every referral beyond that. In addition, each person you refer grants you an additional $0.50. Here's a little snippet from Wf3D's website to show you your earning potential:

...And that's NOT COUNTING Your $0.50 FOR EACH member referred!

WF3D is a list builder that pays you to use it. Ask yourself this, would you rather have a cup of coffee or $2.5 million dollars? Skip that one cup of Starbucks and join below! I look forward to seeing you in my downline!

Viral Networks

ViralNetworks

There's not much I can say about Viral Networks at the moment as they have just started their prelaunch festivities a few days ago. What does this mean for you? It means you can get yourself in on the ground floor of what looks to be the next big site for generating a working downline to make yourself some steady cash. Oh! Did I mention you could win an iPod Touch, iMac, or some other cool stuff from their prelaunch contest if you register now?

Anyway here's what I can tell you about Viral Networks. Viral Networks is a social networking site (think youtube, myspace, facebook, etc.) that is aimed at the internet marketer. Users can post videos, post comments, post in forums, and do all kinds of other things that will award them points. These points can be used to purchase advertisements and other services on the site. Think of being rewarded for networking... twice. I mentioned in "Getting Started With Internet Income" that networking is a huge part of being successful, well these guys are setting up a great site for you to network on and get added rewards for networking. It's a win-win.
