How to Effectively Refer People

• Submitting pages that are pre made for you by your companies (takes 5 minutes)
• Making or modifying your own web pages
• Telling your friends
• Using family members' accounts
• Fliers and other methods
• Webmaster info - search engines, development, and more

Submitting Pre Made Pages

By far the easiest way to receive free referrals is to submit the URLs each company gives you. For example, the pages that open up from my home page have my own URL. Either copy the referral links that you receive as you sign up, or copy my URL (but replace the id with your own). Then, go submit each page at siteowner. The process takes 5 minutes to submit all of your pages, and in about two weeks they start coming up on search engine queries.

Making or Modifying Your Own Web Pages

If you are comfortable with ftp applications and anything resembling Microsoft Word, then you will have no problem making your pages. If you want my HTML code for your background, just email me - I'll send it for your template.

Just copy over the banners available at every pay to surf site, and then link them to your personal URL for each respective company. This is a great way to produce a lot of referrals.

Telling Your Friends

By "friends" I mean your friends, not everyone on the BBS or Newsgroup. If you spam, you will lose your account with whatever company you spammed with - its inevitable.

That aside, targeted email can be very effective. If you send out a newsletter or update, include a link. Tell every friend you have about the best programs, and then show them how to refer people effectively (by increasing their referrals, you increase your own).

This can be very good if you live at a college or have a large work environment - if you can get a half dozen people really excited about it, you can get hundreds through their actions.

Using Family Members' Accounts

NOTE: Most pay to surf companies do not allow you to sign up for more than one account.
Some of the companies allow you to receive money for your referrals' actions without doing anything yourself. For these companies, you can always try to convince a family member to sign up under you, and then use their account to refer people - its two referrals for the price of one. You get paid, and they get paid too - you can work out an agreement between you.

Fliers and Other Methods

Unless you work for a newspaper or have some sort of handout at a speech, don't bother. You can make a web page that has a lot more potential for a lot less time and money.

If you insist, try posting them in high traffic areas, or place a small piece in every free newspaper stack that you can find.

Also, I recommend using Geocities, Tripod, Fortunecity, and others all at the same time - if you submit too many pages from one domain, the search engine may bad your domain from their listings forever.
