Need more referrals? See the 2018 30 Day Referral Challenge now!

One of the easiest ways to make money on sites such as Swagbucks, Prolific, InstaGC, Branded Surveys and more is to build up your referrals.

In most cases you'll earn a percentage of the earnings your referrals get, in some a set fee per referral.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest gripes over in my Facebook group for users of Get Paid To / survey sites is that it is so hard to get referrals. And it can be. Unless you develop a system.

I've been affiliate and referral marketing for over 25 years, although only in the past couple of years have I focused on GPT sites.

I've also run a number of 30 Day Challenges in the past - you can see the related publications here on Amazon and read my reviews.

With this in mind I've decided to combine the two areas of knowledge for 2018 with the launch of the 30 Day Referral Challenge.

If you're struggling to find referrals, this 30 day email course should help.

I'll cover writing ads and posts, finding places to gain referrals, 'out of the box' ways to get referrals, what not to do and more.

Each day for 30 days you'll receive an email with a 'lesson', a task and a preview of the next day's 'lesson'. You don't have to complete every task or even give feedback if you don't feel like it or don't have time - pick and choose the things you want to do.

I'm looking for people to test this out and at the end of it give feedback - it's completely free of charge, I won't use your email address for anything else or pass it on to anyone.

How about a Secret Santa Swago with Swagbucks? 300sb bonus for a full board!

Joining the board is now live!

You'll more than likely hate your Secret Santa present from the office Christmas party, but the digital rewards site Swagbucks is celebrating the Holidays with another big “Swago” promotion starting Monday, 4 December, at 5 PM GMT (9AM PT) and you're sure to get a Swagbuck present you'll love! This time filling in a full board is worth a fantastic 300 Swagbucks!

Swago is just like bingo, but in this case you’re filling out squares as you earn points on their site for doing things you already do online.  For each completed square you’ll also earn spins on the Spin & Win wheel!

If you’re thinking of trying Swagbucks, this is a great chance to learn all about how the site works and earn bonus points while doing it, meaning you can get more gift cards faster.

The board will be pretty similar to the usual 300sb boards; the squares people usually find difficult are the 'get a referral' and the 'activate the swagbutton' ones - read this and this to help complete them.

Click here to get started!

Here are a few tips:

• Each square on your Swago Board will contain an action item to complete. They can be anything from getting a search win, completing a survey, or just visiting one of our popular stores!
• Once you complete the action item in a particular square the square will change color signifying the action item is complete.
• You have until 8pm GMT (12pm PT) on Monday, December 11th to mark off as many squares as possible so use your time sensibly.
• Be mindful of the patterns and their corresponding bonuses located on the right of your Swago Board. The patterns will vary in difficulty and bonus value. Once you’ve achieved a pattern, the corresponding “Submit” button will light up. You can have multiple patterns available for submission, however, you can only submit ONE pattern so choose wisely.
• Each activity you successfully complete on your Swago Board will give you anywhere from 1-20 spins on the Spin & Win Wheel. PLUS, when you submit your board for a bonus you’ll get additional spins. The number of spins will depend on the pattern you complete. The wheel has all sorts of great prizes that you can win, and each spin is a winner!
• Struggling to tick off a square? Post in our Facebook group and ask for help - with 7000 members there's always someone to help.

The Spin & Win Wheel will be available all throughout Swago and you have until 7:59am GMT on Tuesday, December 12th (11:59pm PT on Monday, December 11th) to use all your spins.

Fill up your board and then submit your pattern to get even more points – if you can fill in the whole board, you get a 300 SB bonus, which goes a long way towards your first gift card from the retailer of your choice.

Click here and then click “Join” to get started!

If you don’t already have a Swagbucks account, you’ll be able to quickly sign up; PLUS, if you earn 300 SB before the first of next month, you’ll get a bonus 300 SB!

The Swago board ends on Monday, 11th December at 8 PM GMT (12PM PT).  Make sure you’ve submitted a pattern before then (but remember you can ONLY submit ONE pattern, so avoid premature submission!)
