I was looking back at old discussions on referrals and there are many that have the question "how do I get referrals" ...or "how to get referrals for here or there"... but that isnt what I am interested in really....
my question is what has worked best for you....personally, what did you do to get so many referrals??....how many did you get at one time?? are they still active at that site (or here)?? Was it here at mylot or did you advertise on a ptc site?? or how well do you do with traffic exchange??
I think people learn best not only by asking questions, but from learning from others on how they personally succeeded at something... so please share you story on how well you did.
Happy mylotting!!!!!!

I get referrals for here but it's tough! To make it worse 2 out of ten stay and are active! But it is worth the wait! I use TEs with the generic page here and I've actually created a money making system using Mylot as the key to start the ball rolling!I created a site page at a free service, it's very productive for me, in fact I just launched a second page as a follow up 2 days ago and already am getting a positive response! I also send out 20,000 text messages a day on 2 safelists! It's work but the income is increasing, and best of all I'm making money while I sleep! tdemex

It seems you are doing good online, congratulations. I need help, I do not understand all the online language and get confused easily. I have failed on many ocasions because I get lost with all the information, for example, what is TE. You see, I don't even know what that is.
I am sending you a friend request, please send me a PM (I know what that is), and if you are willing, take me by the hand and help me. Allow you to be your student, please.
Many blessings

congrats to you tdemex... that is great that you are doing so well. I have not tried to get any referrals as of yet... so far I consider myself to work for myself ...LOL and my own effort is my own reward (what little that is for now) but I am still consider myself a newbie being at the money making thing for going on 7 months now... I still have so much to learn.
thanks for the information and keep up the good work ...it is working for you!!
Happy mylotting!!

I would have to say the best thing I've done to get referrals is write my article, 50 free things to help you earn money online.
Writing the article was free, although it took some solid hours to construct it.
I've gotten the article into the top 1% of all articles on the site which was pretty easy after I got the word out about it.
I promote it often here on Mylot, on some forums, and I've got it being linked to on a few blogs(including my own),websites and other articles so it's getting traffic from about a dozen different places right now.
I created it on June 10th, so literacy only been active for a month now and it's generated about 120 referrals so far throughout all the sites I promote on it. Yeah a lot of people signed up to multiple sites, but well over 50%(I'd say about 65%) of the total referrals are still active overall.
Sadly I can't put it in Traffic Exchanges.
If you wanna take a look at it, it's on my profile in the top right, it's the first link.

I think that is great that it worked out that way...you put in the time and effort and have been rewarded.... even if half of them are active then you are still ahead.
I dont have any referrals and I have never really tried for any as it is... I look at it as I am a one person office and what I make is by my own effort...and my own reward... even for as little as it is....LOL
thanks for the response, keep up the great work and happy mylotting!!
oh and I am definitely going to check out your article...I am very interested in reading it.

I not really earn money from refferals since it is tiring, i prefer to earn through the program which dont have any referrals needed. Anyway, the best way to get referrals or active referral is paying them money to join under you, this is the fastest and easiest way

exactly...what I make is my own effort and my own reward, so I dont make the effort to try for referrals either... I have a couple at other sites but they are unactive -- but I never really put in the effort to get them so I am not out anything.
thanks for the response and happy mylotting.

some have done well with referrals ...others havent I guess it is all in the effort you put in. I havent yet tried for referrals --I have a few but they are not active --so I figure I didnt really try for them, therefore I am out nothing.
I am happy with the sites I am with for now...and I figure I will continue to grow my earnings through the next year and start earning more... with or without referrals.
thanks for the response and happy mylotting.

I have made a few but they are not active, but I have not really put any effort into making referrals so I would think I am not out anything in that matter...LOL

Hello bookreadermom08 this is checkmail and have tried several ways for obtaining referal but didn't got much enough sucess.I means to say I just don't use the referal stuff to earn money onine.If I would have been with referal might I have been in air flying jets.Atually all friends warned me of using their ref in any online activities.so I had to pass on the option of referals.Its very difficult to get referals, it makes earning more slow.I never did even try extra effort to get referals.As I also think if any programs that I join and ask my friends to be referal and it closes down than the whole blame will be on me. so normally I don't even think o getting referals.
Like wise say.Good for someone bad for everyone.
GoodLuck.

I agree, I have heard such horror stories where people have lost out so much from referrals and they work so hard to get them... I have never done so...which is why I asked about them here as to if anyone has tried and been successful, so far I think that it isnt worth the effort.
I consider myself a one person office and what I make for myself is my own effort and reward for what little I make....LOL
I also feel the same way --if I try to refer friends and the site goes bad then I would feel horrible.... so I dont even really try.
thanks for the response and happy mylotting.
