Start a blog or website :
This is maybe the most difficult way
to get PTC referrals. It takes a lot of work to build a successful blog, but it also the most rewarding. There are many places where you
can get a free blog, for example Blogger, WordPress or Blogsome. To catch the attention of your visitors, make sure you
post informative and unique content. You could write about your
experiences with different PTC sites, post payment proof,your recommendations
and use the opportunity to place your referral link in the blog post. Be
creative, share your knowledge and write useful posts. And do research so
you can target the right keywords and get more search engine traffic.
Promote your referral link on traffic
exchanges :
On traffic exchanges, you view other
members’ sites to earn credits. The credits can then be used to promote
your own site. Keep in mind though, that people visiting your site only see it
for about 20 seconds, so it is important to grab their attention. Create a
fast loading splash page with a good headline and a short summary of why
they should join the site. Unfortunately, not all traffic exchanges allow
thepromotion of PTC and PTR sites. But here are a couple that do, which I
recommend :EasyHits4U, TrafficEra and SmileyTraffic.
Ask friends and family :
Send an e-mail or message to your
friends and family and ask them if they are interested and show them some
proof that it works. Make sure you are honest when you invite them to join –
that it’s just a way to earn some extra money with very little effort.
Referral exchange programs :
There are a couple of sites where you
can exchange PTC referrals with other members. I like GetRef, which
seems to be the biggest and most popular one. On GetRef there are four ways to
earn credits : by joining other members’ programs, by clicking links,
buying credits for money and by referring members (you get 10% of their
credits on 5 levels). The credits you have earned can then be used to buy
referrals for your own PTC site.
Make videos on YouTube :
Create a YouTube account and make tutorial videos, where you show
people how the site you are promoting works and how easy it is to make
money from it. Don’t just spam your referral link, add something of value
to the users.
Buy or rent referrals :
Many people join PTC sites without
using a referral link, or maybe their original referrer has been
deleted. PTC sites often lets you buy or rent those unreferred members.
Prices vary, for example, on NeoBux or Probux the cost is $0.2
for 30 days. There is no guarantee that the members you rent will be active,
so there is always the risk of losing some of the money invested. Usually
it is a good idea to upgrade your account to really make it profitable.
And remember to always be careful when investing your money in a PTC site,
especially if it’s new and have not yet been proven to be trustable.
Promote your link on social networks :
Create accounts on social networks,
such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. Add links and banners on your profile page. Keep
your profile personal and don’t spam your link, that will only make your
friends delete you and might even get you banned. You can also post your blog
and website links to social bookmarking sites.
Post in forums :
There are many forums on the Internet
about making money online. Forums usually lets you add links on your profile
page and in your signature. With a signature link, people will see your link every
time you make a new post. But don’t spam – be active in discussions and only
make relevant posts that can be of value to other members. If you participate
in discussion, are knowledgeable and provide useful information people will
trust you, and the chances of them signing up under your referral link will
increase. Many forums also have a section where you can exchange PTC referrals
with other members, for example : eMoneySpace Referral
Exchange Board.
Advertise on other PTC sites :
Buying banner space or text links on
PTC sites is a very effective way to get more referrals. The drawback here is
that you need to spend money before it becomes profitable. However, on some
sites you can use the cash you have earned to buy advertisement – that way you
don’t have to spend your own money. To advertise more effectively don’t send
your traffic directly to a referral URL. Make a website with links to more than
one site. You could add payment proof images and a review to increase the
chances of visitors joining.
Promote new PTC sites :
There is always a risk when promoting
newer sites but it is a lot easier to get referrals. If you promote a site that
has been around for a long time, chances are that most people have already
joined.
Good Luck!
