We usually see a lot of ads that promises to give away certain prizes once we sign up. This is the growing popularity of referral based websites, and the Internet world is all caught up on it. If you are thinking of ways for you to sign up on a site and get prizes for it, these are some of the ways you can cash in on this growing trend.

First, you can ask your friends and relatives to sign up on the website. Of course you should explain to them why they should sign up, and emphasize to them that this is legal. Usually sites require that each person who signs up have a sole IP address as well as physical address. So that means one computer per person. You should also tell them how the system works, and how they can get a prize for referring other users to the website.

You may also pay for referrals. Usually the site you have signed up would give you, say, a dollar or two per referral. From here you can invest a dollar to pay someone and have him or her as your referral. Investing on this scheme would ensure that you continue to earn more through referrals. There are a lot of ways you can get referrals. You can post in various online forums. You’d be surprised to learn how many Internet users are willing to be a referral.

You can also promote your referral link. You can also make use of online forums for this purpose, as well as adding a link on your website or blog, or through banner exchange. Indeed there are a lot of ways for you to get referrals. Just be creative and you would see that getting referrals is easy as long as you know how to.
