Paid Survey Sites Really Work

Your referrals, or people you recruit to join a GPT or paid survey site under you, are your downline. You can easily go from earning $20 a month to hundreds by building your downline. I've even see people earn as much as $1,500 by building up an awesome downline. Anyone can have a huge downline. All it takes is time.

Below I've created a list of various ways you can advertise your referral link so that you can build your downline.

1) Email a quick ad to your friends and family.
2) Put a brief ad in your signature that you use in all forums that you post in. Also, get very active in a variety of forums to spread your link around.
3) Advertise in forums that allow it. Just make quality posts in forums that don't allow ads and let your signature do the work for you.
4) Make a blog or website.
5) Make a Squido lens (I will be doing this myself this summer).
6) Write an ad on your paper money. After I cash my GPT and paid survey checks I write the following ad on my money: "I made this money at http://cashcrate.com/394552" or I'll write "I made this money online. Learn how at "PaidSurveySitesReallyWork.Blogspot.com."
7) Make flyers and post them around where you live and/or travel.
8) Mail out ads either as letters or save money and mail out postcards. If it looks like junk mail from the envelope, people will toss it without even opening it, so a postcard is more likely to get read any way.
9) Talk in chat rooms that are about "easy money" or "working from home."
10) Put an ad in the classifieds.
11) Talk to passersby at a local college and hand out flyers.
12) Put an ad on your car so everyone sees your link when you're driving around.
13) Have a button made up and where it. It could read, "I make money online for free" or "ask me how I make free money."
14) Have business cards made and pass them out at every opportunity.
15) Put your referral link in your email signature

This post is all about GPT and paid survey sites that have great referral programs. All of these sites are completely free to join and really pay. You risk nothing at all by giving them a try.

Cash Crate
In case you haven't figured it out yet, Cash Crate is my absolute favorite money making site! To get paid by them the first time you have to cashout and confirm your phone number. After that, they automatically send you a check each month you make at least $10 (which is super easy with Cash Crate).

I just had a baby last month and haven't had any time at all to complete offers on my own or to recruit more referrals. I currently have 48 active referrals with Cash Crate and they have earned me $30.58 this month! I've made $30.58 this month by doing absolutely nothing. I don't even have to remember to cashout. They will simply mail me my check.

Their Referral Program:
Every Cash Crate member earns an automatic $3.00 each time any of your referrals reaches their $10 cashout for the first time. Each member earns a standard 20% of what ever their referrals make, plus an additional 10% of what their referrals' referrals earn. This is called the bronze level, which is where everyone starts out. As you gain additional active referrals, your percentage earned grows as follows:

Bronze - 0 Active Referrals - 20% First Level, 10% Second Level
Silver - 50 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 10% Second Level
Gold - 150 Active Referrals - 25% First Level, 15% Second Level
Platinum - 300 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 15% Second Level
Elite - 500 Active Referrals - 30% First Level, 20% Second Level

You can make a lot with Cash Crate with just a little bit of effort. Register with them for free and start advertising your referral link today!

FusionCash
This is a GPT site that pays you to complete offers and has a great referral program. They pay you:

• $1 bonus when your referral confirms his/her email address
  
• $2 bonus when your referral completes his/her first offer
  
• $5 bonus each and every time any of your referrals cashes out
  

Almost all GPT sites and a few of the paid survey sites offer a referral program. The way referral programs work is you recruit people to join the site you belong to (using your referral link for that site) and then you earn a percentage of everything they earn. Some sites pay for 2-3 levels.

You can earn money by just completing offers and surveys on your own, you can recruit referrals every now and then and have them earn for you too, or you can recruit full time and let your referrals do all the work for you. It's up to you. When you see people making $500-$1,200 a month with GPTs it's because they have a lot of referrals.

But, don't get discouraged. If getting a lot of referrals and earning a steady income is your goal, you can get there with a little persistence.

There are 2 things you need to do: 1) join sites that have great referral programs and 2) advertise your referral link to those sites. It's really very simple. All you need to do is invest some time in building your "downline" (all your referrals and your referrals' referrals) and then let it work for you.

In the next two posts, I will give details about sites that I've found that have good referral programs and I will also give tips on how to advertise your referral links.

Many people who are earning good steady incomes with GPTs and paid survey sites aren't willing to share this information unless you are in their downline. For some reason they want to keep it all a big secret. This doesn't make sense to me because I don't lose money by teaching you how to make money. All I ask is that if you find the information on this blog helpful, useful, or interesting then please sign up for these programs via my links so that I can build my downline too. Thank you and happy earning!

Free Traffic Building Services:

Link Referral is an amazing site for gaining referrals and traffic. It's free to sign up and they let you have up to 10 different links. You have to sign up each link separately using the same email address, but a different password. If you have a website or blog, you can register it with Link Referral to get more traffic. If all you do is GPT and paid survey sites, you can choose your 10 favorite and register your referral links with Link Referral. You will most likely see an increase in referrals and traffic the first day you join Link Referral.

Tip: Be sure to keep your ranking high with Link Referral by viewing other sites, posting to the forum, leaving site reviews, etc. You will see details on Link Referral's site.

Get Ref is another free site that will get you more referrals. It isn't as easy or fast as Link Referral. But, it's worth registering if you have enough time to put into it. It works like a GPT site, but instead of earning cash for clicking and signing up for offers, you earn referrals. You can also pay a small fee to upgrade your account and make cash as well.

Traffic Swarm is another GPT type traffic building site. It's free to join. You build up credits by visitting other members' sites. Then you can spend your credits to entice members to visit your site. Even if you only have a little time to devot to Traffic Swarm monthly, it will still trickle a bit more traffic to your site or referral link that you otherwise wouldn't have.

Five Hits is yet another free traffic building site in which you earn credits in order to spend them for free traffic. I just joined it today, but so far it really has my interest. It allows you to create banner adds and text links for members to view and click on.

Other Ways to Increase Traffic:

The easiest way to get more refferals and traffic is to put you link in your signature. Include your link in the signature on all of your emails and all of your forum posts. Some of your emails will likely get forwarded without anyone taking the time to delete your signature. This is free advertising! Also, start getting very active on various forums. Make sure all of your posts have your signture with your link so that you get even more exposure.

You can also use old methods of advertising. Post flyers with your link. Print out business cards and pass them around. You can even advertise your link on your vehicle. Then you're advertising yourself every time you leave the house.
