Referrals – An Invitation They’ll Not Want To Refuse
If you’ve every heard the expression, “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine,” you’ll realize that it applies to taking paid surveys as well. The rewards earned from taking paid surveys are just too fantastic to keep to yourself, but why would you want to share your little secret with others not in the know? Well, the answer to this question is that the majority of paid survey sites out on the Internet have special incentives for referring family and friends to join the program.
The way these referral programs typically work is that after joining as a member of a specific survey site, you have the opportunity to send email invitations to people you know. Usually, you just enter their email address and then have a small space to add the personal message of your choosing, such as “join me at xyz survey company and you can make money at home just like me.” These are called “referrals” and for each referral that clicks through the link in your email to join the survey site will be credited as a member brought in by you.
How you will be compensated for bringing in new members varies from survey site to survey site. Some market research companies may offer a small cash reward or present you with additional reward points to put toward the merchandise of your choice. You may be rewarded directly after the new member fills out the registration form or you may have to wait until he or she successfully completes the first online survey. While most survey sites offer a one-time reward for bringing in new members, some survey sites allow you to continuously make a percentage of each referrals earnings.
You’ve referred your parents, siblings and best friends, but how can you keep expanding your circle of referrals? Don’t just retire your referral invitations after the most obvious choices; instead invite anyone you are socially connected to. From co-workers and classmates to folks in your sports leagues and church groups -- don’t be bashful. If you sincerely communicate a message that taking online surveys can work, you are liable to influence all types of people.
