5 easy steps to get free referrals for Your site

If you want to get some free referrals for your site, you have to advertise it. People can't signup under you if you don't provide them with a link, right? No advertising budget? No problem, this tool is free! Don't want to click for traffic, No problem. No surfing required. Why not try this out and benefit from all the traffic google receives by doing something so simple, you'll be surprised at how well it works?

Let me show you the most basic tool in my collection of traffic generators. This is so basic, anyone can do it. If you can send a bookmark to your desktop or save a webpage to your favorites, this tool will be available to you whenever you want to use it. If you know how to copy and paste, this can work for you. If you are consistantly using this resource, everytime you join a new program, do a blog entry, or build a webpage, you will start seeing signups. It won't happen overnight, but I assure you, you'll have better results than if you do nothing at all!


Keep in mind that everyday there are new people getting interested in "making money on the internet". No need to limit yourself to listing only brand new sites! If you've been struggling to get signups for a site(s) that you've been with for a while, try listing some of them too!

1) Decide on the site you want referrals for
2) Collect your referral information - ref link
3) Add your URL to Google (free)
( http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl )
4) Add a brief description of the site you're submitting
5) enter the turing code and hit enter

That's it! You're done! If you have more than one site, it's just a simple matter of repeating the process for each one.

ps. Just for fun, do a google search for your username in the site you added to see if you're listed. Check back later to see if your site was accepted. The more sites you add to google, the more results you'll find when you search your username again later. (it could take a few weeks)

And they say you can't earn much with PTC

I know alot of people may not like PTC as a way to make extra money, but I do. I find it a very enjoyable and educational experience and suits my goals of making some extra cash in my spare time. I will admit, it's not the fastest way to earn online, but considering I only spend a few hours a day clicking at my chosen selection of sites, the extra money isn't bad.

Because of recent issues with sites experiencing database losses, I have had to find a way to keep better track of my earnings. I had already been keeping screenshots as I went since I am constantly updating my stats and received payouts on my payout proofs page. Hopefully, this practice will serve me well as we wait on the latest site, FoxCash, to make the restorations manually.

Anyway, because I had this issue in mind, I took the time to upload the majority of my screenshots to my account at Photobucket the other day (7/11/08). I've finished all the labels now and set up a slideshow to show you some of the sites I'm participating in. You should notice that in some sites I have 0 referrals but I'm still able to increase my balances each day. I've had better success recruiting members for my downline after receiving at least one payout, so these, of course are building slower than some of the others.

Because they limited me on how many screenshots I could add to the slideshow, I decided to give you a good mixture on statuses. Some sites have very few refs, but their clicks can really help boost your earnings if they continue to be active. I've got a decent amount of refs (10-30) for a handful of sites and wanted you to see how much faster it goes with a little help. Then there are a few that I have been participating in for longer and I've built a considerable downline for.

Anyway, the point I want to get across today is that if you're active and refer others, you can earn a considerable amount more than when you click alone. Take some time to promote the ones you are doing well in and over time, the signups should start. Keep in mind, getting refs requires as much patience and diligence as the clicking does, but it can really help build up a considerable amount, given enough time.

Setting this up took longer than I expected, so I think I'm going to do updates like this once a month and keep the slideshows in different folders at PhotoBucket so you can actually see the difference a month can make. I hope this provides encouragement for those of you pursuing PTC as an extra money opportunity and helps to show you how it really can add up.

Happy Clicking!

Bux.To Update

I went to the forums today after checking for any new ads and was quite pleased to see an official announcement from the folks at Bux.To. I had already calculated another 1 month delay in getting my payout request from April 8th, based on the latest payout proof I found posted earlier. It was nice to find that the higher ups have a 4 week goal of getting the backlogged payouts completed. Here's the link to the announcement or you'll see a link labelled Payment Backlogs Begone! at the top of the page when you're logged into the forum. It is anticipated that clearing this backlog will put them back onto the 30-60 business days time frame in their TOS, so while free members still have to wait about 3 months for payout, hopefully they won't be delayed beyond that in future.

My Bux.To Payment History

New PTC sites

Since I've had to clear out so many defunct PTC sites recently, I have decided to add some new ones to my collection. I decided on the following sites since they offered ad values of one cent and had very low payouts. If you'd like to join my team in testing these new sites, please keep in mind that there is some risk involved whenever you join a brand new site. By working together to test them, we can find out much faster if they actually pay or not. Hopefully it won't take long to reach these low minimums and request payout. As soon as I receive payouts from any of these, they'll be posted here and added to my payout proofs page.

BuxParadise * $0.01/ad * 100% ref earnings * Payout $3
PayTC * $0.01/ad * 50% ref earnings * Payout $1 * bonus
ZetBux * $0.01/ad * 100% ref earnings * Payout $4

Here are the images of the details for each new site:

BuxParadise



PayTC



ZetBux



OK, Day one has begun. So far, I have collected $0.10 from BuxParadise, $0.25 from PayTC, and $0. from ZetBux. Let's see how long it takes to prove these three sites one way or the other.

7/13/08 update
A few more sites were added to the collection today. Here's a snapshot of the ones I updated in my FreeMoneyTeam program list. I'll try to do a proper writeup on them within the next few days. I will also need to add MySpaceToEarn and MyCashHoney writeups.

Took the time to update my webpage for low payout sites that don't need refs to earn from. Lots of people asking about those again. I also made sure to collect new snapshots of all the sites on the payout proofs page and updated the stats and any payouts received. Sure was nice seeing the changes in some sites. All the new sites have been updated there as well as the signup bonus page where it applies.

Time Saving Trick when working with PTC sites

Quite a few of the PTC sites only have a few ads to click each day but since they only take a few minutes of your time, it's an easy way to make a few extra cents in your spare time. What many members don't know, according to the feedback I've been getting from others involved in PTC, is that many of these sites have new ads available at different times of the day. Not all of them, of course, but quite a few good sites are worth checking at least a few times a day.

You don't have to stay online all the time to get these extra clicks, but if you do find one you like that does, it's worth it to check more often. If you do this in your spare time like I do, try checking in the morning with coffee, once before dinner and once before bed. You may be surprised at how much extra this can add up to over 30 days.

Tip: When you find sites that have extra ads like this, send a shortcut to your desktop so you'll see it and remember a little more often. This was a simple way for me to remember specifically the sites with extra ads each day so I didn't have to keep checking thru all the sites I participate in. I wanted to pass along a little time saving trick that's been working for me.

Some of the sites I check at least 3 times a day are:

ClixSense **********paid x 13
NeoBux ********paid x 1
DailyClicks ********paid x 1
WordLinx *********paid x 4
ClixNCash ***** many payouts
GlobalCashClicks ** many payouts


Let me know if there are any others that should be added to the list. You may have noticed some that I haven't yet.

FoxCash Alert

FoxCash recently suffered a database loss due to hackers. In order to start earning again, many members are being asked to rejoin as the hackers have destroyed the database information for signups going as far back as May 26th, 2008. If you've signed up recently, it's important to see if your account was recovered or not. Try logging in and if you get a message saying there is no such username, you will have to reregister.

There is good news for members that have a screenshot of their earnings. If, after restoring your account, you can post your screenshot showing your lost earnings in the forum and it will be manually corrected. There are over 50,000 members that are being affected by this, so the restoration process will take some time to get completed. The sooner you can post YOUR screenshot, the faster your account can be restored. More Details can be found here and here

Good news for members that had purchased upgrades or referrals. You don't need to submit screenshots to have their purchases restored as FoxCash does have the AlertPay records to restore these accounts and they are already working to restore your accounts!

There is a lesson to be learned by this experience. Take screenshots of your earnings periodically, so you won't have as big of a set back should this or any other make money site experiences database losses. For those of you that don't know how to make a screenshot, it's fairly easy and once you do it a few times, it'll become second nature to take a screenshot of your earnings after visiting your favorite "make money" sites.

While on the stats page of your site, hit the prt scr function key (a few keys above the delete key on most keyboards). Open Windows paint, by going to start, all programs, accessories, then paint. Once paint is open, click edit and paste. Your image should appear and now is the time to save it to a folder named screenshots, earnings, proofs or something similar that you'll remember. Depending on the forum, you can usually insert your image by uploading it from your computer.

If only links are allowed, there are several free sites that will let you upload your images and then provide you with an image url to post your proof. Some that I like to use are Webshots.com , Photobucket.com and Googlepages.com

Ok, go check to see if your account was recovered or not. If you can't login, even after clearing your cookies, you will need to re-register. If you know the person that referred you, contact them to get a link to rejoin their team. If not, please use my link. I'm still trying to contact the 30 referrals I have lost since this happened but I can see that FoxCash is determined to do what they can to restore as many accounts as they can. They've even increased the daily ads from 12 to 22 to help members that didn't have screenshots. At $0.015 for each ad, it'll take less time to reach the payout minimum.

Recent activity limits have also been removed with the current situation and payouts are being made much faster as you'll note by the scrolling text message you'll find when visiting the forum.
