How to get SwagBucks referrals (or any other referrals for GPT sites)
Firstly, if you haven't already, sign up for Swagbucks HERE. Thanks!
I will break this guide into TWO parts, online and offline!
1. Tell your friends!!
You can do this offline and online, but I find that when you ask your friends ONLINE to join, they dismiss it as spam and that someone has 'hacked your account' and is using a bot, so talking to your friends and family face to face will most likely work better!
Another reason why this technique works great is because you don't have to look for them, they are already there, trusting you and waiting for you to show them the ropes on how to earn money on GPT sites!
2. Put a sign on your car!
You don't need fancy signs, but what you do need is a large piece of cardboard or paper, and a marker. Write something catchy (eg. free iPhone/cash/WHATEVER) and put your referral link next to it.
Imagine, how many people are driving behind you in a regular commute? Probably 50, maybe even 100! Now, if only 1% join and are active, that means that everyday you get at least two referrals! It works great!
3. Flyers/Business cards
These are an 'old school' advertising method. However, don't put the flyers on ANY stationary item, target your core demographic! Now, for GPT sites, usually your target audience will be teenagers, the tech savvy and needy, those without a job or can't be bothered to find one!
Ideal locations include- libraries, colleges, high schools, supermarkets, bulletin boards, cafes, toilets, anywhere!
However, the best place seems to be the urinal! Now before you guys exclaim in disgust, this is actually a very good way to get referrals! When you are 'doing your business' and staring ahead blankly, why not take the time to read something on the wall! More than likely, your attention grabbing slogan will hook them in and they will take notice of your link! Works like a charm!
4. Write on cash notes (dollar bills)!
This might be a little sneaky, but I remember reading somewhere that the average dollar bill gets passed around at least 100 times before it is finally binned/lost. That means, if you write your link on 100 dollar bills, your referral link will go through 10,000 hands!
5. Ambush Marketing
Stick your business cards in books relating to making money at home, technology, computers, jobs in the library and whoever opens that book will find your link!
6. Stick your business card in the card slot of an ATM!
This means that the next person who wants to withdraw money has to take out your card! Now if your business card was effective and attention grabbing enough, then they will at least look at your link for a split second before (hopefully not) throwing it away!
