Getting Referrals

     Getting referrals for your incentive sites can be a daunting task, but we are here to help! Though there are several good ways of achieving your goals, we are going to be focusing on only a few of the free ways. 1. Using Facebook for free referral link advertising. 2. Free advertising using classifieds. 3. Forum posting. We also suggest creating a profile on IBO, there you will be able to make a business profile and promote your affiliate links/banners multiple times a day. Our list here will be ever growing, we hope it helps!

Using Facebook

     There are plenty of places to put your affiliate links on Fb! You will be posting many of these so we recommend you start by writing your ad/ads in notepad or word, that way you only have to write them one time. After you have something that looks good you can simply copy paste away!

• You can start by posting links on your own page with a message simply asking your friends and family to sign up. I normally post once or twice a week, and you will get more sign ups when you post how much money you are making with a certain site, how much they could be making, or how much you can make for getting them to sign up. Honesty goes a long way when it comes to posting to friends and family.
• Do a Facebook search of terms like "free advertising", "post my ads free", "advertise here",and  "work from home". You will come up with plenty of pages that allow you to post your ad. One of the best ways to get responses doing this is to post as a comment on someone else's post. You can add a comment liking their post, and asking them to check out your opportunity. You would be surprised at how many posts of yours will eventually be out there if you try to five or more a day. You're on Facebook anyways, right? Might as well take advantage of it!
• Join groups! Join as many groups as you can. The best groups to join will be the ones where people are looking for work online, not posting jobs. Watch these sites like a hawk and you will see new people commenting, avidly LOOKING for opportunities like yours! Even without having them as a friend you can message them saying,"Hi, seen your post on....have you looked at this site affiliate link" People in groups will respond better when your posts are personable, so write ads for groups that show you are human, and look less like an advertisement.
• You can create your own fan page or group. You can name it whatever you like, and invite everyone and their mother to join and like your page. Blatant titles like "Working from home explained" can have you flooded with eager sign ups in no time at all. Make sure to pin a couple of your affiliate ads at the top so people have to read them FIRST.

Get referrals using free classifieds!

     Free classified sites are plentiful on the internet today, and many of them can be invaluable for quick, free, and easy referral sign ups. We know by experience that not all of them are worth posting to, and some won't even allow affiliate links to be posted. That is why we have compiled a quick list for you to enjoy! Remember, it's not what you post, but where and how you post it that will get the best results!

1. inetgiant (US)
2. olx (US)
3. USFreeads (US)
4. Adlandpro (With this site you can actually make YOUR OWN classified site, US)
5. Loot (UK)
6. Adpost (Worldwide)
7. Ozfreeonline (AU)
8. Gumtree (UK)
9. Classifiedsforfree (mostly US)
10. Freeadvertisingforum (US)
11. Ablewise (US)
12. Backpage (US)

     Currently these are the ones that I personally use and have gotten results from. I will add more as soon as I come across the ones that accept affiliate links. If you know of others, please add them in comments below!

Get people to join your cause by Forum Posting!

     The key to getting people to sign up under you using forum posting is to post something relevant to the blog you are posting on. I like to keep my posts simple. I usually use an affiliate link in my signature and simply join in the conversations.

    Try some of these forums for yourself. There is a big list here, so pick the ones that you will be able to post relevant comments in. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, so you will need to post in several before you get referrals in bunches. Don't give up!
