Since I started (July 22, 2010), I've got 690 referrals. You get $1 for each person you refer, and $2 after they complete their first offer. You also get $5 each and every time your referrals cash out! As you can see by my banner, I make most of my FC earnings this way. I've found a ton of posts asking how to get a lot of referrals. Let's put our heads together and make ONE good post with all our tips about this topic! Thanks!
My Tips on How to Get Referrals
1.) Find your target audience. Don't just spam your link all over the place. Post your link where people will be interested in this site and the opportunity. Stay-at-home moms/wives, college students, and other people wanting to earn extra income make great prospects!
2.) Take the time to inform people about FC. If you post something like "Free money here!", people are going to think you're trying to scam them for sure! Tell them about how the site works, referral commissions, posting bonus, and $5 sign up bonus. Let them know that Fusion Cash has a Better Business Bureau rating of A+. *Also inform them of the guidelines: one account per IP address/household/person, legal U.S. residents age 13 and over!*
3.) Prove that it can be done! Post pictures of your cash outs and let people know that YOU, yourself, actually earned money from this site! Seeing is believing! Your custom FC banner displays your earnings and is updated every time you earn more cash. It makes a great email signature and forum signature!
4.) Educate the referrals you get. If your referrals share their email address with you, use it. Send them helpful tips and email messages to see how they're doing. Referrals who feel comfortable with the site will earn more, which means more cash outs!
5.) Do what works for you. Here are some options to try:
--Make a YouTube video about how to use Fusion Cash. Include your referral link in the video or in the comments section. MAKE SURE your video is worth watching and is easy to understand!
--Post a blog or two about why you use Fusion Cash. Make sure to include keyword tags such as: work from home, Fusion Cash, easy money, etc..
--Tell your friends and family. If you know people looking for extra income, spread the word! Classmates and co-workers are also great sources! Also, try your online gaming friends!
6.) Post on GPT and work at home forums. Use your FC banner as a signature.
7.) Visit work at home chat rooms and tell people about FC.
8.) Place a classified ad.
9.) Have business cards printed for free and hand them out to people you think might like FC.
10.) If you sell on Ebay, send a flyer about FC with your shipments.
11.) Place flyers on bulletin boards at laundry mats, libraries, colleges, etc..
What I do, personally...
1.) I have blogs about how to work at home successfully. I write out the blogs, and then incorporate my referral link into them. If you keep them updated daily, Google will pick them up, and rank them higher. Make sure you use a GOOD blogging source like Blogger. You can update them less often, but you'll earn less.
2.) I'm a member of GPT and work at home forums. With everyone on there trying to find legit work-at-home sites, it's easy to bring up Fusion Cash! Since I have made so much, it's easy to convince them to join!
3.) Vista Print is my friend, and I don't care who knows it! I've got a ton of freebies from them! You can get 250 business cards with your link and info on them for free (just pay postage). They're great to have around if you're comfortable with talking to people. Guess what? The lady making $7.50/hr at the grocery store isn't happy with her job. She NEEDS extra income! When you're checking out in the grocery line, (or anywhere else) start up a casual conversation with people. You'd be surprised where it can go! Other than business cards, Vista Print now does website hosting, too!
4.) I set up a free website. I made the website simple and added my blog to it. The landing (home) page is just about FC. It's easier sometimes to refer people to your personal site than it is to get them to visit an FC link.
That's all I can think of for now. Please feel free to ask questions!
