For any of you that have been following me here at Cash Crate Pro, you may have noticed a big jump in my earnings pretty much over night, this has all came from a couple of new referrals and as we know referrals means free cash online.

So what happened you may ask? Well pretty much I hit a bit of a streak and got 12 new referrals in a 24 hour period out of those 6 of them became active USA referrals and out of those 6, 2 of them made at least $10 in earnings. So from just those few new referrals, not only have I earned 20% of what they have earned for them selves but I have also received $6.00 in bonuses. As you can see this starts to add up real quick and this is where the power of referrals come into play.

When it comes to gaining referrals, you never know who is going to be the next big promoter or the next active user to earn $1,000 at Cash Crate or what ever your get paid to site is that you are involved in. With this in mind I find myself that using a number of tactics to get traffic to your site or blog is the way to go. Keep trying different things and if you find something that works, then really push it and see how successful you can become.

I know that from time to time trying to get referrals, particularly for those that are just starting out seems like hard work but in the end it is well and truly worth it. Not only do you get referrals and an increased income in your choice of get paid to program but you also learn many valuable lessons a long the way and it is these lessons that you can put into use when it comes to promoting your next get paid to program or online survey program, what ever it may be. Pretty much getting referrals is the same no matter what program you are trying to get them for.

The internet has allowed us, the normal person a chance to become something more, a chance to have that bit of extra money that the fortunate few have and as people we have a choice in how much extra we make, we can either cruise along and do our own thing and not worry about referrals and we can easily make $100 to $200 a month or we can throw our selves head long into it and have a real crack and with hard work, persistence and a bit of luck we will see that $100 to $200 become $1,000 to $2,000 per month and grown from there, the choice is ours to make.

The power to obtain free cash online is ours to make and I chose to dive head long into it and give it a real crack and for anyone that wants to become a part of my team and join under me I am more they happy to take you with me and help you every step of the way, because if you are successful then so am I.

Over the years I have been asked numerous times how I go about earning free online cash and build my downlines, in response this is basicaly my step by step guide in how I got started and now have some downlines in excess of 5000.

After reading feel free to ask any questions and I’ll endeavor to answer them as best I can.

Many years ago I got involved in All Advantage and Spedia, unfortunately Spedia was and still is a scam and All Advantage was nearing the end of it’s days but I got my first taste of the get paid industry and I saw the potential of it.

Up until around July 2004 I really didn’t get back involved into the get paid industry, it was around then that I stumbled across a paid to read email site earnings2all (another scam) and beehivemail, shortly there after I joined dreamstarmail, black mails banana emails and mikes paid 4 emails.

As you can see I was very new and had joined all scam sites except beehive, I think around that time I found out about an Australian site called email cash which has surveys, I quickly joined. I was clicking my fingers off practicaly and at the time I wasn’t working so I had plenty of time to do what I was doing. One of the emails I read at one of the sites went to a personal site advertising a bunch of paid to read email sites, I think I joined a few more scam sites from that page, but the biggest and best thing that came from that visit was that it gave me the idea to make my own site.

My first site was pretty basic and I bought a couple of ads at beehive to promote it and I got 1 or 2 referrals. Shortly after that, I found out about a few get paid forums and for the next couple of weeks I read them from top to bottom and asked a lot of questions, I found out the programs that I was a member of and promoting were all scams so I dropped the lot except beehive mail which unfortunately is no longer around but I made quite a bit of money from it and had one of my bigger downlines.

I started reading the praise in the forums and found out a bunch of sites that seemed to be paying, I also found out about downline builders and I joined all the new sites from there. I didn’t get any promoters in my downline so I lucked out there but a few lucky people got me. My basic site was still online and changes were made to it to promote the new programs.

From there I started using Google to find Australian friendly survey sites and I joined them all. During all this searching I stumbled across a site that was promoting various online poker affiliates, the site was using the phpbb silverblue template as it’s style sheet, I soon took to that idea and did it to my own site which and still is hosted on the 10 meg of web space that my isp provides with every account. As luck would have it my site went to number 1 on Google Australia for a lot of various search terms involving surveys. This got me a lot of traffic and a lot of referrals for both my survey sites and paid to read sites that I was promoting from the same site. This site is a 1 page site so it is not hard to make and only needs basic html experience to be able to make and maintain.

I have no idea how I got onto the front page of Google let alone #1 but the traffic I was getting was 100% targeted and free. About this time I found an affiliate marketing program called Gozing which I was a member of their survey site. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that they paid between $1 and $5 to get referrals to many sites that I was already promoting. I joined the Gozing affiliate network right there on the spot and soon got approved, I also referred a few webmasters to the program and I earn 5% of their earnings which keeps a constant income coming in each month.

I soon started Googling affiliate networks and found one that promotes a lot of Australian sites and soon after joining I started having the money rolling in each month. This allowed me to spend more on advertising and also pay for my own domain name and hosting. The first domain I registered was www.getpaidpage.com I owned it for a couple of years but it was never used. I decided I didn’t like that name much and I found the one that I still use now. It took me 6 months to build my site, due to the fact that I was now working full time and didn’t have much time available but I finally got it finished and now promote it widely.

I have since joined about 6 affiliate networks, between them they cover pretty much all parts of the globe with their various survey programs that I promote, I am still involved in a few paid to read sites but these are more of a side thing for me now, they bring in a few extra dollars each month and bring in some extra search engine traffic. Recently I have just started with the get paid to sites, I can certainly see the potential of these as an excellent money maker for not only those that can get referrals but also for those that cant.

So that’s how I came to be where I am at now, to sum up though here are my tips.

• Read everything you can and keep an open mind.
• Invest half of what you earn into advertising when you first get started and then when you are up and running, reduce your advertising budget to about 20% of your earnings.
• Remember any site can be promoted and referrals obtained no matter how old or big it is.
• Try to advertise outside of the norm, meaning don’t just copy and paste the homepage, give your own personal experience and review of a site.
• Above all else, be honest and have some integrity when it comes to the sites that you promote, having people that return over and over to your site and signup to your sites newsletter and the programs you promote is a lot better then getting them to signup to one of your programs and they get burnt because it turns out to be a scam and then never come back.

I can’t tell people what to do or not what to do but I can tell you if you don’t try you won’t get anywhere when it comes to building a downline.
Finally don’t expect to be making big money overnight but work at it and keep trying new things and you will find that you can start making free online cash.
