Paid Survey Referral Programs
People all over the world are taking paid surveys as a way to voice their opinions and make some extra money at the same time. Most paid surveys dish up a couple dollars here and there; over the course of a month your earnings can add up to a nice amount that will supplement a “day job” but perhaps not be enough to live on. If you want to maximize the amount of money you earn taking paid surveys, take advantage of the referral programs that many survey sites offer to members.
The typical referral program allows the member to refer friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and whomever they please to join the survey site under a special invitation. A referral invitation is usually a composed email that features a click-through link that takes the recipient to the survey homepage and registration site. When your referral signs up to be a member, the unique link followed is associated with specifically to your account and you will be credited with a bonus.
The bonus for completed referrals varies from survey site to survey site, but can include perks such as cash, points for merchandise, extra entries into sweepstakes and more. In addition to a one-time bonus, some survey administrators may also have programs that allow you to earn a percentage of your referrals earnings each and every time they take surveys. This can really add up, especially if you have a large network of referrals working for you.
Like money surveys, most referral programs operate on an ongoing basis, not just a one-time event where you have to invite anyone and everyone you know at once. Usually, you just log onto your account and head to the referral section where you can access the referral emails. Also, the referral code that is embedded into the email link can also be used as a link on your web page, blog, or even be shared as a forum post or Twitter “tweet”.
