What is GetRef?
GetRef is a program that offers you many ways to get referrals for your PT programs. It acts as a middle man for you to get in contact with potential referrals and make deals with them so that they stay active after they join your program. It is very hard these days to get new referrals for your programs plus advertising is usually very expensive and most of the times leads to getting referrals that become inactive after a while. So GetRef is here to help you improve the quality of your referrals so that they help you earn more with them.
How does it work?
GetRef is using a crediting system where you spend credits to get referrals for your PT programs. Also, in order to ensure referral quality it has a feedback rating system just like the one on ebay so that you are able to define if a user is trustworthy or not. The way it works generally is that a promoter of a PT program offers some credits under a condition to every referral that joins that program using his referral link. Then when a GetRef member decides to join a promoter's program, he enters a testing period that gives the promoter some time to track his activity and help him decide whether he will accept or deny the transaction.
How can somebody get credits on GetRef?
There are plenty of ways to earn credits on GetRef:
1. Join a program successfully under some other member.
If you join a program and satisfy the requirements set by the promoter then you will receive the credits he promised or he will get a penalty in his feedback rating. Make sure you check a member's feedback rating before joining his program. That ensures the trustworthiness of the promoter. Also, make sure you join only programs that you are actually going to work on. If you are active on a site long after your sign-up, the promoter has the opportunity to give you bonus credits that will give him a star in his own feedback as a promoter.
2. Click on links just like any other PTC.
There is a text ads section on the site where you receive credits for clicking links by other members. That is a fast and easy way to receive credits though the amount received is really small. But it's really useful and cheap to use on advertising.
3. Purchase them directly
You can always purchase credits using PayPal or Payza at these rates:
20 credits cost $5
if you are a Standard Member.
25 credits cost $5
if you are a Golden
Member.
4. Directly refer members to GetRef.
You get credits for every active referral you directly refer to GetRef. You receive these credits once they earn their own first credits on the site by joining a program under some other member:
2 credits
if you are a Standard Member.
4 credits if you are a Golden Member.
5. Build a big downline in GetRef.
You receive 10% of what your referrals earn down to 5 levels deep. And Gold Members receive free random referrals almost every day. Note that you won't get the credits from step 4 from free random referrals. It only works for referrals that you directly refer. But still you get 10% of the credits they earn from all these possible ways. So building a huge downline in GetRef would help you get more credits which translate to more referrals for your programs like PTCBox.
How can I spend credits to receive active referrals in GetRef?
You can get active referrals for your PT programs using these steps:
1. Go to "Spend -> Buy Referrals for your program" (From the GetRef menu)
2. Find and select the program you are promoting from the list. (In case it's missing you can send an email to getref@hotmail.com for it to be added to the list - the admin states that he might join as your first referral this way).
3. Type your own specific program member ID in the first field and assign the amount of credits you'd like to give to anyone who joins your program. Keep in mind that there's a bidding going on and you can see the list of current credit bids to the right up corner of the page. You can see how many credits are currently offered for this program by other members of GetRef.
4. Write down a description about the program, and clearly state the requirements that the joiner has to fulfill to get credited after he joins as your downline during a 3 day testing period. Usually we require a number of ads to be clicked during these 3 days. You are not allowed to require someone to invest in order to get credited.
5. Write down a second condition that if the member satisfies, during a second testing period, (which can be up to a month), you will give your referral some bonus credits. In this condition you are allowed to require a member to upgrade but you should be generous with your offer when asking something like that. This second condition is optional.
6. Once a member decides to join your program you have 3 days to track his activity and figure out if he's active enough to deserve your credits. Plus you can motivate him to upgrade within 30 days by offering a large amount of GetRef credits.
7. Also you can always use GetRef's internal messaging system talk directly to them and figure out if they are serious about the program or offer them help in case they find difficulties in using it.
This way GetRef helps you ensure the quality of the referrals you receive.
Are there other ways to receive referrals through GetRef?
Yes, in fact you can use GetRef for advertising just like any other site. You can pay with credits for advertising through these two sections :
1. Text PTCs
By going to "Spend -> Buy explosures for your link" (Through GetRef menu) you can spend credits to receive visits from GetRef active members that get paid to click on your ad. Unlike other PTCs this is really cheap in GetRef as prices start as low as 1000 hits / $1.
2. Text ad on the home page of GetRef
By going to "Spend -> Buy a text ad on the site" (Through GetRef menu) you can spend credits to purchase an ad spot on the home page of GetRef. Prices are very cheap there too as you can use a bidding system to get your own spot. GetRef home page receives more than 10.000 views every day, so it's really worth it.
How does upgrading to Golden in GetRef help me get more active referrals?
Golden membership is really cheap and you can purchase it for only $4.69 / month which is really too low for what it's worth. There are many privileges that Golden Members get, some of which are the following :
1. Get double the credits when you join a program under a GetRef member.
2. Get double the credits a person you directly refered earns by joining a program through GetRef.
3. Get random referrals every day (members that joined GetRef without a referrer).
4. Get more credits at the same price (At the price of 20 credits, you get 25).
5. Prevent users with a low earn rating from joining your programs.
6. Get the ability to ban specific users.
7. Send unlimited messages through the GetRef messaging system.
8. Earn $0.05 for every program you join and $0.02 when a golden member in your downline joins a program.
9. Plus you are not getting a negative penalty at your feedback when you decline members that have low earning rating.
