First Tip - Upgrade Your Membership.
Put aside a percentage of your online earnings aside to upgrade your membership on a program, most prgrams will give a higher percentage of what your referrals make if you upgrade. Only upgrade after a program has paid you, so that you know they are genuine.
What I do to see if it is worth upgrading with a program, i divide the yearly upgrade fee by 12 months, so lets say a $10 yearly upgrade divided by 12 is roughly 83 cents then if I make more than that within a month, I will upgrade as the upgraded membership will make even more than a free member.
Second Tip - Buy Referrals.
Some programs will give you the option to buy referrals, the prices vary from program to program.
For Example Another Realm sell there referrals for $2 each, but they periodically offer deals such as 4 referrals, 500 link credits, 500 banner credits and more for $3.50. These are the types of deals I wait for and then buy, because I have just got 4 Referrals plus more for only $3.50 instead of $8.
These referrals make me as an upgraded member 55% percent of there earnings, also and if you buy referrals off the program, they are more likely to be active referrals and not just a number on your referral stats page.
I hope you find these useful as I have, you have heard the saying “you need to speculate to accumulate”, this is so true on PTC programs.
You can also refer people for free yourself to the programs you have signed up to, check out my Referral Building Website if you need to know how to do this, when you refer people yourself they are more likely to be less active than bought referrals.
