Referrals Explained

What is a referral? Well, a referral is basically when a member of a PTC site encourages someone to join that PTC program through his or her referral link. What is a referral link? A referral link is a link to a PTC website which is attached to the PTC site member's account and enables the new member to create an account in the PTC program and award credit to the PTC site member for encouraging him or her to join. In PTC world, the best earnings come through getting alot of referrals. Referrals come from two separate markets, a hot market and a cold market. The hot marketing is your friends and family. The cold market is total strangers you advertise to that are interested in your PTC program. I recommend the cold market. When your friends and family see you succeeding in this business, they will ask YOU for the information! The two most common marketing tools to help get referrals is a referral link and a referral banner. A referral banner is an html code that contains an image URL and your referral link. The image is usually something advertising the PTC site. Look for both of these tools with any PTC program you choose. I think that pretty much sums up what a referral is .
