It has come to my attention that the best and probably only way of making any real money on sites such as bux.to or Mylot is to get referrals. Clicking ads yourself is not going to net you much profit.
However, I have hit a brick wall when it comes to getting referrals. I have no clue as to how to attract people to your referral link, or to even get people to see a page with your referral link.
Any advice?

I think that it's a little early for you to try and draw those conclusions about myLot when you only have eight posts. There isn't really any easy way to make money honestly. Making money is hard work and requires much effort whether the activity must be done in person or online.
My experience with referrals has been that you have to work hard at attracting referrals and there comes a saturation point where it becomes difficult to grow the numbers that you can successfully attract to any one given site. Also, due to increasingly difficult economic times, many programs are asking more from affiliates and referrals. Oftentimes the focus turns to the quality of referrals, and you only are given credit when the referrals that you have signed up under you become active and active in a positive, money making way.
The best way to make money online is to find sites that actually pay per action and where you can make at least a small amount of money consistently without referrals. Once you have found those programs and they have proven that they pay, then you take a more rounded approach and add to your earning power through referrals. Don't be fooled, good paying sites are going to require more from you then just bringing new traffic to their site. Oftentimes it is more work to teach referrals properly and check in on them so that you can continue to earn off of their work.
All of this will require you to build up your reputation. The best way to do that is to focus on the qualities that you can bring to the table and help or service that you can provide to others that nobody else can. Doing those things on myLot, just like elsewhere, is the key to maximizing your earnings and getting the most out of your efforts. Good luck.
