ok i have put together a blog that describes a list of in my opinion the top 13 GPT sites after doing tons of research. When you go to the blog it has the banner (referral link) for each site. Im trying to get people to go to it as i am part of only these 13. Im not having tons of success but a little with this blog would i be better off sticking with one site and trying to advertise?

What you describe is called a banner farm and they are about as worthless as anything online. People want you to share your actual personal experience so they can get emotionally involved, not just see the same old link or banner everyone puts up.

Take his advice oldbuddy really knows what hes is doing and I have witness him help many people in FC and several other programs.
-
Another way to get referrals through friends is to put together an email that has all of your links on the banners for each site and a little description of each site. I also pasted in some examples of payouts that people received in the past and that seems to do the trick. People can see it's for real.

OMG I want more referrals too, I don't have anyone :- :BangHead:

I would like to get more referrals too but no luck. I had a couple of people try it through word of mouth when I first signed up but since then, nothing. Nobody wants to give out their personal info, especially their phone number, online and you have to give Fusion Cash your phone number to confirm your account. I did try posting my link/banner in several different places but it keeps getting deleted as spam. I think I am going to use my cashout from August as "seed money" and get some flyers made up and post them around town and maybe some business cards or something.

You can get business cards as one of the offers I believe and I suggest your forget the flyers. You will just get in trouble for littering. I had a friend that was fined for doing that.

I think flyers, business cards, or anything to spread the word is a good idea. Keep trying, it's not too hard. I have 4 referalls from just family and friends.

Here's what I posted before on how I get referrals.
Here are some free and easy ways I use to get referrals.
Signature lines
Join online forums and include your url in
the signature line. Add your signature to your email. Send
funny jokes, short interesting stories, recipes etc. People will
forward your email(with your signature) and you might get
referrals that way.
Traffic exchanges
Blogs
To get more traffic get the url on everything
(business cards, signatures, traffic exchanges, etc)
Visit other peoples blogs and leave comments. I personally
don't like to blatantly advertise my urls when
I leave comments.
If I come across a blog I like
I'll just write something like "nice blog" or "nice pics"
Usually the person will click my name which takes
them to check out my blog. I have gotten sign ups that way.
I only use blogger so I don't know how other blog platforms work.
Advertising with PTR/PTC Sites
Paid to read (PTR) or Paid to click (PTC) sites are cheap ways
of advertising to hundreds or even thousands of people. I used
to do a lot of PTR and PTC sites for the money (which isn't
much) but now I am focusing on using them for advertising. I do
just enough to buy advertising.
Business Cards
If you go to VistaPrint you can get 250 for FREE! I remember
only paying a small shipping fee something like $5. Add your
url and pass them out. Put them in the jars you see at some
businesses especially restaurants that have a business card
raffle. Use them as book marks in library books.
Free Classifieds
Here are some free places to put in ads.
Craigslist everyone knows about. Just be careful
with trying to place the same exact add in different
places because it will get rejected.
Change up some words or the title and it will work.
Backpage.com is less strict than Craigslist.
Classifiedsforfree is another site.
There's lots more free classified sites just do a search
and you'll find them.
Free Websites
These sites let you build webpages for free. You don't
need to know html it's WYSIWYG so you just have to pick a
template and type in your information. It's better to have your
own website instead of just a referral link because you can
include what you want on your website.
Some of the free sites I've used are Freewebs, Weebly and Google
Pages.
Search Engine Submissions
Don't forget to submit your referral link or website to all the
major search engines. Most of them are free. There are some
directories where you pay to have submissions done. I haven't
used them so I don't know how effective it is.
Social Networking Sites
Some sites have rules about advertising so don't blatantly
break the rules but if you have friends who you think would like
to make some extra money (who doesn't), just shoot them a
message and tell them about a site. If rules allow you can add
a banner to your page.

There are some GREAT ideas in here!! I'm amending my signatrure line right now!!!

Just keep in mind that no one wants a flier in their face or a business card up their nose. If you want to give someone a card, resist the temptation until they ASK for it. And don't run through the mall parking lot tucking fliers under all the windshield wipers, they end up littering the parking lot when people rip them off and throw them away.
Here's a story I use a lot. If you had to capture some birds for an experiment (it's just an analogy) would you run through a field waving a blanket over your head to snag one, or throw some breadcrumbs in a corner and wait for them to come around? I have breadcrumbs all over the Internet, including here. You won't always notice them, but they are there and the trail leads back to me eventually.
I get calls, emails, Skype contacts and people stopping me in the store all the time saying, "Hey I saw you on such and such, how do you do that?".
You can pick up pennies or be a leader that has an army picking them up for you, you choose. In Alaska they say, "If you're not the lead dog, the view is always the same". Just don't get in a rush, it will come.

I don't understand how flyers are gonna work. Its not like the people willl type down the exact referral url. They'd just go to the regular website and sign up there.

Then buy a domain name from GoDaddy like myfusioncash.info (Sale price on .info 89 cents a year) and set up a redirect to your referral link for Fusioncash. It's all in your back office at GoDaddy and there are tons of tutorials on YouTube if it's over your head.
If you try to grab that name and it's already taken, make sure you follow my posts on here so you won't be late next time.
