Incentive-based safelists, such as Adtactics get better results than ordinary safelists, as people are given incentive to read these safelists. Although, with all safelists, the HEADING is the most important thing.
Adswaps. If you have an ezine, you may be able to exchange ads with another ezine owner for free.
Referral Exchange. Many forums have a referral exchange, which is basically, "I'll signup under you, if you signup under me", or "Signup and I'll pay you xx cents"" or "I'll reward you for each referral you build under me".
If you have a skill, offer it in exchange for signups. EG, if you signup for more than 3 of my programs, I will build you a webpage, or a simple banner.
A big "secret" is the use of downline-builders. Many MLM programs have forums with a section at the bottom for building downlines. Go to a forum, and if it has a downline-building section, search for your program. If it is not there yet, you've hit gold! Start a new thread for your program, and put your signup link in there. The idea is for people to signup under each other, one at a time. This should put one person per level under you. This process works best where your program lets you earn from several levels. Most Get Paid To Read Email/Surf programs have about 5 levels of earnings.
You HAVE to advertise - otherwise you won't get referrals, and your earnings will be slow. There are no guarantees, but if you do a handful of the above techniques, you should be on your way to success.
A common strategy is to have a handful of programs. When you first start out, reinvest all your cash and points earnings as advertising, so that you can build some decent downlines. Then set aside some programs as your money-generators, and others as your advertising vehicles to generate more signups to the big money-spinners.
Ok thats it... If you apply the techniques, I believe that you are one step ahead to success in Get Paid Programm.
One last thing, it's a tradition to pass this alert: remember nowadays there is a lot of new programs come along, in a blaze of publicity, then after a while, realise they cannot cope, or are losing money, so they quit, leaving lots of angry members unpaid. Signs to be wary of are: high paying emails (eg 10 cents), for low rates (eg send an ad to 1000 members for $10). If every single member read that ad, it should really cost 1000 * 5cents = $50. In practise, not every member does read every ad, and a lot will quit before they reach payout, but you may need to watch and wait before joining a new program with an unknown owner, and statistics like that. Even worse are programs offering a large startup bonus, just creating instant debt. These days the membership can grow very quickly, and overload the servers, and owners very quickly. So it doesn't take long for people to find out if a program is coping. Always do a search at a forum, looking for negative comments, before joining a new program. Wish you all the best..!
I'll update more soon...Until then...LOL
