Don't forget to cover it with a bit of leaves

Mine is the old fashion way -- a study fishing pole, good nylon, and delicious bait ( chocolate seems to work, though waiting can be a bummer )

Getting Referrals is really difficult but keep them working is more difficult than that ..........
Some registers and forget that what they did in the past

Ok, I'll come clean -- guess me and BouldRake were just having a bit of humor; all's good though, for a few smiles

Now, if you want to get referrals, there's a lot of ways -- there's the online methods ( creating blogs, promoting your link on your account's signature -- of course, depends if the site that you'll be using your affiliate link as a signature will allow it or you can end up losing your account under the guidelines of spamming* ) and there's the old-school method ( meeting friends face-to-face, calling cards, flyers, etc )

( *there are sites that have their own set of guidelines in regards to posting links on a member's signature section, so read their ToS Usage )

It's up to you on how much effort you'd like to put to getting your own referrals -- just remember to avoid paying/renting for a referral ( a complete waste of time and money )

Now, additional offhand note for my earlier post: I haven't tried bacon as referral bait lately... maybe one of these days...

I haven't had any new ones lately... But when I do "have" time (not lately) I use ptc sites and I am president of my home owners association so word of mouth there and I head up my husbands army woman's group so I tell anyone I can there to as well.

I have used the honey method in the past............... little sticky but if I can get one "stuck" then my honey trap worked!

As for the online methods, I'd like to mention there are some Forums where people exchange different sites to become each one's referral there. I got some referrals using that method, though they went all pear-shaped eventually... guess I should have tried the bear trap.
