Getref: The Tried and True Referral System, Part 1

Getref has been a blessing to some and a bane to others. Well what I should say is that Getref is a blessing to those who care to learn how it works and have some patience, and a bane to those that expect instant results without even reading a FAQ. I'm going to try and relay to you all the lessons I've learned through using Getref and hopefully save you the the problem of having to learn these lessons yourself. For all intents and purposes Getref is made up of two parts: Earning credits to spend on referrals for your programs and Spending earned credits on your programs.

Earn

The earn section of Getref offers you three options which I will cover separately:

1. Earn Credits by Joining a Program
2. Earn Credits by Clicking Links
3. Earn Credits by Referring Members to Getref

Earn Credits by Joining a Program

This is the earn option that is the most important to your success. Not only because it will yield the most credits, but the programs you invest credits in to advertise are only visible within 90 days of completing another member's offer. This policy helps keep the site community active by encouraging members to be both earners and promoters. On this earn page you will see every program that has credits invested in it divided up by category. After selecting a program you will be taken to a page listing the credit amount offered, name, and ratings of every member promoting that program. The most important thing to note here is the ratings. You will want to sign up under a member with a high promoter's rating even if that means receiving a few less credits because this will greatly reduce your chance of being scammed. After selecting the promoter you will do the offer for make sure to read their description and follow their instructions to receive credit.

Earn Credits by Clicking Links

The purpose of this section of the site is mainly to increase your chance of receiving tickets for the monthly prize drawing from which you can win both a few months as a gold member for free and some cash. Aside from that, this section has an incredibly low credit yield, but you are more likely to receive the random tickets when viewing the ads here.

Earn Credits by Referring Members to Getref

Just as it says, share your referral link and earn credits from those members you refer. You will receive 10% of all the credits your referrals earn through joining programs up to 5 levels deep. Also you will receive a 2 credit bonus from the first program any of your direct referrals join.
