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.
