Welcome to MrGPT.com’s ultimate guide to getting referrals and building a steady downline. In this tutorial, I will show you how you can successfully get members to sign up under you so you are able to earn a percentage of what they earn. This method can be used when you no longer want to complete offers and want to still earn money from referrals. You may also want to give GPTInsider’s “How to Get Referrals for Your Affiliate and GPT Programs” a read after.

1) Find that referral URL!
The first thing you need to do is fine your unique URL you will be using to advertise so the people who sign up under you can be tracked and you can be rewarded for your successful referring.

Your referral URL, as mentioned above, is unique. It is not the same as anyone else and it is just yours to use. Once you’ve found this, your ready to move onto the next step.

2) Signature and Email Links
Sticking your referral URL in signatures and at the end of emails are great ways to also get out your referral URL and build a good downline. Offer to answer any questions if you think that will work well, and don’t just stick the link. Make some text below explaining what it is.

3) Advertise on forums!
Advertising on forums is another great method to building a downline. A must, if posting on forums, is that you always supply at least one picture of proof. It doesn’t even have to be yours, just make sure the person you are using it from is aware and that his/her personal information is blocked out.

You can use Google keywords such as “make money online forums” or “gpt forums”, even “webmaster forums”. Sign up for some of those forums and make a post talking about the service/company you are trying to build a downline for and add your referral URL in there.

4) Write an article!
EzineArticles is one of the biggest article directories on the internet. It has a ton of readers, and I’ve just noticed I am getting a ton of incoming links from blogs copy and pasting what’s off of Ezine. FREE advertising! Try to squeeze in a few anchor links using HTML with your referral URL to help build your downline. You can see one of my articles at Ezine here.

5) Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising
Pay-per-click programs, such as Google Adwords can help you get referrals by displaying ads on targetted pages you want! For example, if you want your advertisement to show up on money making sites, you can use keywords such as “money”, “get paid to”, etc. It will cost you money when someone clicks on your ad, but hopefully they will sign up and make you that money back that you paid to display the advertisement.

6) Flyers!
Successful advertising is not just on the internet! You can also build a downline by handing out flyers. One of my particular successful methods is passing out postcard-sized pieces of paper that talks about the company I am trying to build a downline for and I am always sure to stick my referral URL at the bottom. Another one is printing out full pieces of paper that again, talks about a company I’m trying to build a downline for and has my referral URL at the bottom. You can always tape these on mailboxes, post them on bulletin boards, pass them out at a library, etc.

I hope you will use these steps as guidelines as you attempt to achieve building a successful downline. Good luck!
