If you want to get referrals, you will have to learn lead generation. You don't need a website to get referrals. It helps, but it's not necessary.
Great reply crisstar and it's true that having a website is not required to get referrals, but it's the best advertising you can buy for less than $2 a month and have complete freedom to put anything you want on there, without the restrictions some website owners decide to add. For example, I can't count the number of Blogger blogs I have seen terminated for posting referral links. Don't forget, you can promote anything else in addition to Fusioncash there and even get paid for sharing why you use your particular hosting service, instead of it adding to your expenses.
Okay, so how do you do this? That is where I run into problems. No one will TELL ME how or what to do. I have designed a couple of websites. I am familiar with Front Page (which I realize a lot of people hate) and HTML. I am not stupid by far. But I do not know who to get my own site with no restrictions and certainly have no idea how to go about getting companies to pay me to promote their name. You have to go thru someone or some company or something to have the space in the big www and then you have to somehow get people to your site. And word of mouth won't get it.
Here's how to get referral without a website:
* Post flyers on corkboards in your community. Laundromats are great places. I get $10 Staples rewards coupons every so often and I use that to purchase colored paper (great for flyers because they stand out). Get an easy to remember domain from Go Daddy (or another provider).
* Make videos regarding how great FC is and your results, the benefits to people looking for a side income etc... You can put these videos on YouTube. In the description and on the video it self, you can put your FC link. You can post a link to these videos from your social networks and from your blog.
* Go to social networking sites like Google+ and Facebook and post helpful posts about FC in your profile and in communities and put a link to FC. You don't want to be spammy. Give good advice and be helpful. You'll need to make "friends" and network with people of course.
Website Required...
The best website is simply a blog. I recommend you get hosting (as low as $5-$10/mo) and put up a Wordpress blog. This will take you only a couple of minutes. A blog is easy to update and you can post things about making money with surveys, your life and how surveys give you extra money to buy your kids clothing etc... You see where I'm going.
To get eyeballs on your blog, you can link from your social networks to your blog, comment on other money-making mom blogs, work from home blogs, etc. Just type into google whatever search phrase you want - and most of the sites that usually come up are blogs. Just comment on the post with useful comment and add your website in the website section.
Now after saying all this, you can make enough to pay bills - if that's what you want to do. Of course if you can get a lot of referrals you can make thousands per month - but that's not typical and most people just make bill money doing surveys.
If you want to make enough money to buy a new home and get a complete lifestyle change, then you'll need to look at a home business. A business does require money to spent at some point, however, there are a lot of businesses you can start for little to nothing. Doing affiliate marketing is probably the easiest thing to do to get into business. You can learn affiliate marketing really easy. The challenging parts is knowing how to get enough traffic to your offer. I don't want to turn this into a home business post, but just give you other options if surveys are not producing enough income for you.
There's a lot to "chew" on here, but I suggest picking one direction or one way of getting referrals and take action daily to get referrals. Make it a daily habit and you will see results. Don't worry about what your referrals do or don't do. Let it go.
I hope this helps somewhat Countrygirl...
