Why are referrals so beneficial to making money online as a teen?

As a teen, I know that it can be very tough to get a job in the current economic situation. Adults without a job are taking anything that pays, including part-time jobs like being a waiter, fast food joints, etc. That's why teens everywhere have been flocking to get paid to sites like mad for the past couple of years. There is a lot of money to be made in the industry, and if you have the will and knowledge to do so then you could be making that money.

Referrals. Why do people talk about them so much? What are they? People consistenly ask questions about them and if they are beneficial. I will tell you right now; if you are planning to make a lot of money online then you have to figure out a way to get as many of them as possible. Having a large referral base allows teens to to making thousands of dollars online with minimal work.

For example, lets say I refer a member to CashCrate and that member makes $20, I earn about 30% of that which is $6.66. I also earn a $1 bonus, so in total I earn about $7.66 from only one member I referred. Now, say I refer ten people to CashCrate and they all complete $20.00 in offers. I now earn $76.60 just from those ten referrals. You get the idea.

Now that you know how beneficial referrals are, it's now time to start getting them. Here are a couple ideas for you, also check out my post How to Get Referrals For Paid Survey Sites for more ideas.

-Make a blog!

-Tell your friends and family

-Handing or fliers/business cards

-Make a video

-Post an ad to online classified sites

Now that you have some ideas, I suggest you go out and put them to the test. However, don't expect to start making hundreds of referrals today alone. It takes time, effort and persistance in order to get a large referral base.

I have mentioned before and I will mention again that the best way to get referrals is to make a blog/website and post unique articles that are helpful to people. Don't expect to make a blog, throw up a couple crappy posts and start earning the big bucks. Teens always look for the easy way out, and with this method you have to post your own articles or else your blog will go no where. I have had this blog for about three months and it is still gets nowhere near the amount of visitors that I think it should get.

However, I'm not going to give up and I know that it will eventually be making me more and more money.

Well good luck to all you teens, stay off the streets and go out and get referrals!!

Recap on how to make money online as a teen

Okay, hello everyone. Chances are that if you are reading this post you are a teen looking to make some money online. If you are than you are at the right place, if not I don't know what you're doing here.. Trust me though, don't expect to start making a couple thousands dollars here and there. Making good money online takes hard work and effort, but it is definitely manageable. However, if you are just looking to make a couple extra bucks each month then you don't have to worry about spending countless hours on the computer.

I suggest you check out IMreportCard if you have not already. They offer real reviews from real people on all of the top ways to make money online. I always check them out before I join any program on the Internet. They also pay you for grading programs, writing reviews and leaving comments. I have been paid about $80 from them in the past 2 months without even trying.

CashCrate. They are the absolute best program for teens looking to make money online each month. I have been making hundreds of dollars with them for the past year. However, don't think that you will start making big money like that today. It takes time and hard work to develop a down line like I have. In the long run it is definitely worth it though.

If you aren't willing to spend a lot of time promoting your referral links than it is still very manageable to make a good $50 each month on gpt sites like CashCrate as a teen. Sites like cashcrate are called "survey sites" for a reason. By spending a couple hours each week completing surveys on CashCrate I have been able to make upwards of $70 a month without any referring.

Showing teens how to get referrals is the purpose of this blog as it is a very hard task. I have told you all many times not to get discouraged if you only make a couple referrals in your first month of promoting. Believe me, if you work at it you can be making a great amount of cash without having to fill out any surveys.

I know that this has been a very short post but I just wanted to recap on how to make some extra money online as a teen for all of you. And remember, it takes hard work! Have a good one!

CashCrate Question and Answer for Teens

First off, if you arrived at this blog via a search engine check out my cashcrate proof of payment for $476.55. If you are a teen and are looking for a ways to make legit money online than this is the site for you.

Okay, so today I thought I would answer a couple questions I have been receiving from teens lately about CashCrate and ways to make money online.

1.) I have been scammed before, what makes cashcrate so different?

Before I joined CashCrate I was just like you. The thing about CashCrate though, is that they actually do pay. I am only 17 years old, yet I have made over $2500 with them in the past year. CashCrate is a great way to earn some extra money when you don't have a lot of time or money to work.

2.) How long should I expect to work if I want to make a lot of money?

That answer depends. If you have some miracle system that will generate you a lot of referrals then all power to you. But for the rest of us, you can expect to work a couple hours each week if you are just completing offers. However, if you want to make the big bucks then you have to spend a lot of time writing articles, submitting them to article directories and just spending time on search engine optimization for your blog/website.

3. I made a blog but I have not gotten any referrals out of it, how come?

This answer is simple. You either picked a bad keyword or you have not spent enough time getting quality backlinks. Believe me, it usually takes about 3 months before you start receiving any good traffic to your website from search engines. Just don't be a lazy teenager and you'll be fine.

4. Am I going to receive any junk mail from paid online survey sites?

Yes you will. That's why I made a junk email when I was completing offers. If you use your real email address than your inbox will be flooded with promotional offers. You will also receive the occasional letter to your house, but those are generally few and far between.

5. How old do I have to be to join paid online survey sites?

Most online survey sites require that you must be 18 years old to join them. However at CashCrate you only have to be 13 and that is why it is perfect for teens looking to make money online.

6. Is there a better way to make money online as a teen?

I'm sure there is, but they are probably scams. One site that I know isn't a scam is CashCrate. They have over 1.5 million members and have paid out millions of dollars to their members.
If you have any other questions about paid online survey sites and make money online as a teen just leave a comment and I'll answer it.

Paid Online Surveys - CashCrate is the best for teens

As mentioned in recent posts, teens often cannot make money online because they are so darn lazy and give up 99% percent of the time after not making a lot of money. But, what about that 1%? What happens to them? They write good content on their blog, get anchored backlinks by writing articles, hubpages, and submitting their blogs to web directories. Things that don't take a lot of time, but become very tedious work.

Like most of you I quit CashCrate after I wanted to make more money. But, as I look back at the experience I laugh, because CashCrate is one of, if not the best way to make money online as a teen. Most systems promise you that you will make a thousand dollars in exchange for a $200 program that you would have to buy. At CashCrate it is free to join, along with Fusion Cash. In the past I would have killed to recieve a $500 check in the mail, but I wouldnt have been able to put the work in because of my laziness. I am now a couple years more mature and understand that making money online is like a job and it takes time and effort to make a lot.

Fusion Cash may seem like a great site for referring other members and making a lot of money and thats because it is. Just not as great as CashCrate. You see, Fusion Cash offers you a $2 comission for every user, but they don't offer you a percentage of what your referrals make. Cashcrate is the best, because they offer you the $1.00 bonus for every active referral (once you reach a certain level) plus a commision of all the earnings your referrals make. This places them in an elite class of gpt sites.

There is also a fantastic forum at CashCrate, and the people there will be helpful with all questions you might have. Additionally, there is a good video tutorial as well as written tutorials to help you start making some money once you sign up. Anyone who wants a real way to get started making money online that is not a scam might want to think about checking out the forum.

CashCrate is perfect for teens who want to start earning money online, because you only have to be 13 years old to join. I know many teens who make well over the minimum $20 payout each month (including myself). So just because you are young does not mean that you can't make a lot of money online.

Overall, a teen can make a lot of money by taking paid online surveys. They are a great way to earn some extra cash and it is fairly easy to earn a lot of money by taking them. They are also one of the few legit ways that teens can make money online in this day and age.

How to make some extra money for school as a teen

School is coming soon (too soon) for all of us. With school comes all of the essential items that us teens need to have, from clothes, to ipods and textbooks. But, in the current economic situation jobs are few and far between. In this post I will show you how to make some money for school as a teen.

If you are looking for a legitimate after school job, then I suggest you check out SnagAJob.com. It is the best place to find part-time and full-time jobs in your city and it is completely free to join. You can find a job pretty fast, at places like Lowes, Taco Bell, Sports Authority, etc. SnagAJob.com is a great site and they have many job opportunities available for teens.

However, if you do not have time for the above method than I suggest that you resort to making some extra money online. Check out IMReportCard and read some reviews on paid online surveys sites. You can find a site that pays great, has great customer service and has an awesome referral system. CashCrate is the best survey site out there in my opinion, but if you are looking to join some other ones, do some research, I guarantee you can find some amazing ones on IMReportCard. 

Like most of you I spend countless hours on the Internet when I am bored, doing the dumbest things. I still do that, just now I spend about an hour a day on paid online survey sites and get some big checks in the mail in exchange. My friends constantly ask me where I am getting all of this money from, since I have been making a lot with paid online survey sites.

With all the stresses that school can bring to a teen, it can be pretty satisfying to receive a check in the mail each month, even if it's only for $20. Making money with paid online survey sites is a 100% legitimate way to make money online and it is perfect for teens. Check out my CashCrate proof of payment check for $476.55 if you do not believe me.
All in all, it is not hard to make money online as a teen and it can be pretty exciting to get checks in the mail. School is starting very soon and it's a good idea to have some extra spending money in your pockets.

Making money online as a teen is hard work

Most of the time when a teen joins a paid survey site to make money online they try out a couple offers and think, "Boy, I'm not making nearly enough!" Thats because there is no program on the internet that just generates you automatic income. If there was, then everyone in the world would be loaded. Getting referrals out of paid online survey sites takes time and there is not one method that instanly gets you 10,000 referrals.

This blog, Teens Make Money Online, has only been around since July 18. It's now August 21 and I'm not getting many referrals out of it yet. Thats because it takes time for sites to develop, get picked up by search engines and get good page rank. However, if I keep at the rate I'm currently going, this blog will be on the first page of google in no time.

I know someone (also a 17 year old) that made a paid online survey site blog promoting his links. After 6 months he was still writing spectacular articles but was not getting any referrals. He didn't give up though, he continued to write well and get anchored backlinks. His blog is now on the first page of google and he makes thousands of dollars each month alone off of his one blog. This shows that just because you don't make a lot of money at first, doesn't mean that you will never make a lot of money.

For this reason many teens often quit after the first day of joining paid online survey sites. Just because you don't make $400 in your first hour doesn't mean that it doesn't work. When I signed up for Cashcrate I stopped after the first week. But then my friend told me he got a $650 check in the mail from them, so I got off of my butt and went back to CashCrate. I didn't give up, and now I am making $400 checks from them each month.

Paid online survey sites are like having a real job. Don't expect to work an hour a week and get big checks. You earn how much you put in. If you make a great blog and work to get anchored backlinks then you will earn a lot as long as you use don't use bad keywords.

Overall, if you work hard and don't give up you could be making a lot on sites like CashCrate as a teen. Just think of it as a part-time job and work on it for a little bit each day. Trust me, in the long run you will be thanking yourself!

How I earned an easy $20 online

I was thinking I would spruce things up for everyone today.

The purpose of this blog is to show teens how they can make money online by taking paid online surveys and referring people. Now, taking the time to establish a blog and get good page rank may not be for those who just want to earn some extra cash and get on with it. If you are interested in earning a quick $20 then stick around.

I recently stumbled across a site called ImReportCard. The person who referred me insisted to me that I could earn the 20 bucks in under an hour and a half so I checked it out. There, you get paid to write comments, grade and rate all of the gpt sites that are on the internet (like cashcrate). It's a great site to check out if you are interested in joining a program on the internet, because they have tons of reviews, but the fact that you get paid makes it that much better.

At ImReportCard they say that you will receive your payment within 24 hours of cashing out. After I met payout I cashed out at 10:23 pm on August 17. I check my paypal account at 2:39 pm on August 18 to find I had already been paid.

So if you want to earn an extra $20, I suggest that your join ImReportCard today! Click the banner below. Well, I will continue to write about making money with paid online surveys and how to refer people I just thought I would show everyone how I made the easiest 20 doll-hairs of my life, (haha ever seen dumb and dumber?)

How to Get Cashcrate Survey Referrals By Using Your Blog

Like I said in the previous post, there is no traffic in the word "cashcrate". No traffic means no referrals which is no fun. Keep that in mind at all times when you are making referrals for paid online survey sites.

It is actually a lot easier to make a blog about teens making money online than cashcrate. When you write about cashcrate all you can really write about is the FAQ, when you will get paid, the referral program, basically all of the stuff that literally EVERYONE writes about when making a cashcrate blog. However when you write about teens making money online people will want to read it and find out if it really is possible to make money online as a teen.

I recently bought some ad space on a couple get paid to forums. I spent over $50 only to have only a couple people sign up under me. Can you say waste of money? I thought I was getting a great deal, something like 100,000 page views for only $25. Well, it turned out to be a bad deal as I only got $5 out of it. So I am telling you now, get off forums, stop wasting money on buying adspace and don't make stupid business cards. Make a blog! You will get referrals.

I've told you before, and I will tell you again that the only efficient way to get referrals for paid online survey sites is to make a blog and get some backlinks. Eventually, if done correctly your blog will be on the first page of google and you will be making well over $500 a month. Here is an example to show you how making a blog is pretty much the only way to get a lot of referrals.

The guy running paid online surveys for money has been making thousands of dollars a month alone on cashcrate. Don't believe me? Check out this massive cashcrate proof of payment.



Do you think he made this much by putting his referral link in a forum signature and writing a bunch of posts on stupid forums. No way! He made this by making a grade-a blog and getting a lot of backlinks to it. This guy can now even make well over $2,000 a month which is very impressive. This check motivated me, and should motivate you to get off your butt and get to work on your blog.

The only way to get high amounts of referrals is to get targeted traffic to your blog from search engines. Target a specific keyword, i.e. teens make money online. When people search how to make money money online as a teen, they usually only click on the links on the first page. Target the people who need to make some extra money (like teens) and go after them.

I am going to continue to stress on the importance of making a blog and targeting people who need money on this blog. I know how easy it is to give up on something as a teen, considering I am one. But, if you really put your mind to it and start to work at it you could be making huge amounts and really could be making money online as a teen!

Keywords ARE Key

When most teens start a blog for paid online surveys they focus on the word "cashcrate" or "fusion cash". They start a dull blog with weak posts and pray that their blog will start to get some good traffic.

I am telling you now that you should not focus on cashcrate when starting a blog. The key to getting a lot of referrals if getting good page rank on google for unique keywords. People who search the term "cashcrate" on google obviously already know about it and are just looking for some more information on it.

If you want to make money with paid online survey sites you must, and I mean you must target people who have never heard of Cashcrate in their lives. Got it?

There are hundreds, heck maybe even thousands of other people like you starting a blog for their paid online survey site and they are all probably focused on some stupid term like cashcrate. The real traffic comes from people who are looking for ways to make money online and have no idea about sites like cashcrate.

Here are a couple good areas you should focus on when starting a blog:

College Students
Teens (like this blog)

Stay at home moms

Make money from home

Paid online surveys for money

Everyday people like this are looking for ways to make some extra money online. Tons more people are searching for example, "ways for teens to make money online" and "ways to make money money online" than "cashcrate". No one searches that word! Want some proof? Paid Online Surveys for Money made a valid point.

The Broke Grad student has the third position on google for the term "cashcrate" and it has been like that for quite a while now. All he has gotten out of it is $594.70. Now you may think that that is a lot, but considering that there are probably thousands of blogs focused on cashcrate and this guy is third on google and he has not even made that much. How much do you actually think your "cashcrate" blog will make? Believe me, none.

So when you start your paid online survey site blog focus on something unique, and over time you will start earning some killer traffic!

Why CashCrate?

If you have been reading my posts you may have noticed that I always refer to CashCrate when talking about paid online survey sites. There are many reasons for that and I will briefly explain why it is such a great way for teens to make money online.

CashCrate is simply the best when it comes to paid online survey sites. They are free to join, have hundreds of offers (free and trials) being updated daily, and also have a low payout. Not to mention the fact that you only have to be 13 years or older to join which is perfect for teens.

It is hard to find sites that allow 13 year old kids to participate on them, which is why CashCrate is so special. Teens everywhere are always looking for ways to make money online, but are usually unable to find a program that is right for them. I spent months looking for a great way to earn some money online until I tried out CC. Now it is the only site I use for making money on the web.

I have been receiving big checks from CashCrate for a year now. Don’t believe me? Check out my $200.13 CashCrate proof of payment. Other sites that I am a member of don’t pay nearly the amount that cc does. In fact, in their first month alone back in 2006 they paid over $30,000 to their members. Imagine how much they are paying today with over 1.5 million members.

If you want to start making the big bucks on CashCrate I suggest that you check out my post, blogging is the key to getting referrals. In all honesty referrals on CashCrate can make you thousands of dollars on CashCrate….a month! Here is a contest back in May 2009 that shows you how many referrals one member got in a month.


900 referrals translates to about $2000+, which I can imagine would be more than enough for most of you teens. No other paid online survey system even comes close to allowing you to make that much in a single month, which is another reason why cc is is the best.

Just recently a feaure called CashCrate pro was added to CashCrate. It allows you to make several different referral links, and monitor conversions rates and clicks for each link. Do you think that any other program on the internet has this feature? hahaha no. This allows you to see how well each one of your blogs, ads, etc. are performing and is an excellent way to make more money off of your referrals.
You are able to receive your payments from cashcrate in the form of check or direct deposit. Paypal is not available because of fraud in the past which is a bummer.

All in all if you are looking for a way to make money online then CashCrate is by far my number one choice. It has a low payment, low age to join, awesome features, ridiculous referral program and much much more. If you want to maximize your earnings I suggest you read all of my posts and not to mention, get to work!

Why you should start taking paid online surveys

Teens everywhere are always asking there parents for some extra money to buy the new hot trends. The conversations are almost always identical. Kid: "Mom, could I have some money? I am going to the mall." Mom: "Get a job." Now most of you, like myself, do not have enough time for an official after school job. Balancing out time for school, sports, activities and friends is already hard enough as it is. Adding a job to that list would sound ridiculous. Now wouldn't it be great if there was a way that you could start earning some money online? With endless possibilities on the internet in this society, it is very possible to start earning hundreds of dollars this month on sites like CashCrate. Don't believe me? Check out my July 2009 CashCrate proof of payment check for $397.71.

First of all, paid online survey sites are a great way for teens to earn some extra money each month. Joining a couple survey sites could be the difference to no money and $300. I think that spending a couple hours each week for some money in return is definitely worth it. Also, if you know how to refer people to sites like CashCrate, then you could even be making much more. Teens always want money and if you join a couple survey sites than you always will have some extra spending money.

Even if you have an after school job you could still join paid online survey sites. Making some extra money on top of an already annual salary is a great idea. You could use the money that you earn on CashCrate to buy some things that you really want, and put your job money in the bank. Most of you probably know about how bad todays economy is. Making money on the internet is a great idea if you cannot manage to land a job. However, if you have a job, don't think that you should just quit it and resort to taking surveys. You are not going to make more money taking surveys than if you had a legit job, unless you are a pro at it. Also, jobs offer experience and relationships that can help you out big time down the road when applying for colleges and new jobs.

Paid online survey sites are all over the internet and are ready for teens to join them. I just promote 3 of them on this blog but if you do a simple google search I know that you can find tons of legitimate ones. The ones that I listed, CashCrate, Fusion Cash, and MySurvey just offer some of the best referral programs that I know of. You are able to make much more with these referral programs than taking surveys for any other site on the web. Making a blog is the first step that you should take when joining survey sites if you want to get referrals. Start getting anchored backlinks and over time your blog will start gaining you a high number of referrals. If you want a lot of referrals and do not want to make a blog (I do not recommend) I suggest that you check out my post, how to get referrals for paid online survey sites.

Overall, joining paid online surveys is an excellent way to earn some extra money online and is completley safe. I honestly can not think of a reason as to why you shouldn't join them. Your parents will be happy and most of all you will experience the joy of making your own money. No more asking your parents for some money to go to the mall. Good luck and continue to follow this blog!

How to Get Referrals for Paid Online Survey Sites

If you want to make a lot of money on paid survey sites as a teen, the secret is getting referrals. They take time and effort but if done correctly you can make THOUSANDS of dollars each month on these sites from referrals alone. Try out the methods below to get started.


1. The top and number one way to get referrals for paid survey sites is by making a website or blog with useful information and promoting it. However, you cannot just make a blog and expect people to find it and sign up under you. There are thousands of blogs out there just like yours expecting the same thing that you are. The key to getting a lot of referrals is having good page rank on search engines like google. You can do this by getting anchored backlinks.

2. Join popular forums and add your referral link (preferably blog/website link) in the signature, if it is allowed. Be an active part of the forum and add useful posts. Do not spam, as this will get you banned and no one will probably click on your link.

3. Post fliers around college campuses and on bulletin boards at local stores. Provide a detailed explantation of the survey site and your blog url (referral links are too hard to remember). If done correctly this method can bring you in a lot of referrals. Awhile back one of my friends won $100 in a CashCrate contest mainly because he posted a lot of fliers around his neighborhood.

4. Make a Youtube video explaining how you have made money on cashcrate so far. Make sure to mention that you are available for questions if they may ever need any. Then add your referral link to the video description and tell people to click it if they want to sign up.

5. Print business cards with your referral link on them. Post them around your town in places that people gather like stores and schools.

6. Post ads on online classifieds. Although I have had limited success with this method, there are some people that make their living of posting ads on sites like Craigslist, and USfreeads. Here is an example of an ad that I have used on Craigslist in the past:

Do you need to earn some extra money? But want to make it from the comfort of your home? Cashcrate is the answer for you then, it is the #1 get-paid-to site on the net. Over 1 million members have been paid so far, hundreds of surveys/offers that pay you between $0.25-$45.00/per offer, and it is completely FREE to join!
Perfect for college students, stay at home moms, teens, or those who are just looking to make some extra money each month.

Survey Site Tips

TIPS for completing offers/surveys
- Use REAL information. Using fake names, addresses etc. will result in companies picking up on this and not providing credit for the offer/survey you completed.
-Make a seperate email for survey sites. When you complete offers the advertisers will probably send you junk emails. You wouldn't want this junk to clog up your real email address, so just make a seperate address.

-- Use different, valid e-mail addresses. In some companies they wont credit you for more than 1 of their surveys unless you have used a different e-mail address for each of their offers/surveys. You can use the same e-mail if you're doing offers from several different companies, but if you do more than 1 from a specific company, it is good to use different e-mails.
An easy way to get around this is by doing this.
Create a general e-mail such as jboi993@gmail.com When filling out different surveys you can use this same e-mail with periods added.
j.boi993@gmail.com
jb.oi993@gmail.com
jbo.i993@gmail.com etc etc.
All messages will be sent to jboi993@gmail.com Pretty neat little trick.

- Clear your cookies between offers/surveys. To do this, in IE go to Tools ---> Internet Options ---> Delete ---> Delete cookies. In Firefox, go to Tools ---> Options ---> Cookies ---> Clear Cookies. Or you can just download CCleaner which clears your cookies.

- Complete the offer/survey in FULL. You cannot just open up the survey and fill out 1 page and then submit it for approval. You must complete it in it's entirety. It should be pretty obvious when the survey has ended. There might be a page that says "Thank you for participating", "Congratulations", "Thank you, your information has been received", or it may ask to confirm your email adress.

- Check your email for confirmation emails. Some companies, send you an email to validate your email address. The offer you completed will not credit unless you confirm your email.
Completing offers quickly

- Download Roboform. This progam is very VERY useful. It fills out all your information (name, adress, email, gender, age, etc) with the click of a button.

-Another neat trick with Roboform is bubbling in all of the "No's" in a survey. Sometimes you are presented with a long list of yes/no questions and to simply bubble in all "No's" hold Alt and press +. Saves you a lot of time on offers.

Blogging is The Key to Getting Referrals

Most of the time when people hear about paid online survey sites, they may either try it out for a couple minutes and then quit, or don't even try it out at all. Don't be like those people. If you are serious about making a lot of money on survey sites, like me, then stop being lazy and get to work. Heres a question for you, would you rather work for $8 an hour as a boring waiter, or would you rather have other people work for you and make thousands of dollars a month? If you are a normal person, then I am pretty sure that you picked choice B.

When individuals sign up for sites like CashCrate they go in thinking that they are about to make a couple hundred dollars with minimal work (I know I did). Once they realize that they are not about to make a lot of money by doing offers, they resort to the referral programs. They slap up a crappy, plagarized blog in 5 minutes and expect the referrals to start pouring in. LOL. Trust me, I was once an internet noob and I thought the exact same thing as you.

Once they wait a couple weeks and realize that their blog is not getting any traffic, they abandon that idea and head over to get paid to forums. They read about all the people who are making $20 a month and are ecstatic. If I make less than $20 A DAY then I am pretty ticked off. Once they read all of the terrible tips on the forum, they may join and add their referral link to their signature with some retarted saying like, "Join under me, and we can make money together!" Or "Click my link and I will show you how to make hundreds of dollars!!" Most of these people have probably never even gotten a referral and are flat out stupid when it comes to internet marketing. Some forums can get you a couple referrals, but not get paid to forums. Everyone on these forums is already signed up for these programs, so what would be the point in trying to refer them? Exactly, there is no point and it is a complete waste of time.

Then, once the typical teen realizes that the get paid to forums are not getting them any referrals they may start posting some ads in the online classifieds. Now I have used this method in the past and have had very limited success with it. They slap up a couple awful ads, with their referral link at the bottom, and say, "Sign up under me!" Do you honestly think that you are going to get a lot of referrals this way? No way! Now you may get a couple, but not nearly the amount that you could be getting.

DO NOT be like one of those people that abandon their blog after they do not get any referrals in the first couple of weeks. Write original content that offers unique help, and start getting some anchored backlinks. Spend a couple hours each week submitting your blog to directories, getting link exchanges, and writing articles. Over time, your blog will have develop a good page rank and you will be in the top of the search engines for your selected keywords. Blogs ARE the key to getting a lot of referrals and making tons of money on paid online survey sites like cashcrate. Keep at it, and don't be lazy!

How to Get Backlinks

When most people join cashcrate or any other paid survey site they head right over to the forums to see how they can make more money. 100% of the members there say "hey, if you want some referrals you have to make a blog!" So thats what they do, they set out to blogger or word
press and make a blog hoping that it will bring them in referrals. 3 days later they may check back to see if they got any only to see that no one signed up under them. What went wrong?

99% of teens who join paid survey sites quit after they don't make enough money. So if you are a lazy person who does not want to work to make hunderds of dollars a month on survey sites, then this post is not for you. Gathering referrals takes a lot of time and effort so get ready to work. Paid Online Surveys For Money says that 80% of your time should be spent getting anchored backlinks to your blog while 20% should be spent creating content. The key to getting referrals is backlinks. You want your blog or site to come up on search engines in as many keywords as possible. What exactly is an anchored backlink? ESPN, right there.

Getting backlinks to your blog can be very boring and tedious work. You want as many one way anchored backlinks to your site as possible and try not to do link exchanges. When you do link exchanges most of the time you're just exchanging with another weak cashcrate blog who has awful if not any page rank on search engines. Also, in link exchanges all your really doing is sending google back and forth between the two pages which has no real benefit. However, if you can exchange links with a reputable site that has good page rank then that could become beneficial to you.

Now, what you want to get is one way anchored backlinks. This is the hard part. If you want to do link exchanges with another site, then the best way to do that is in a 3-way exchange. This way you're not sending google back and forth and the links have some quality. Here is an example.

John links to Mike

Mike links to Eric

Eric links back to John

The more blogs and site in which you have the easier that this is. And believe me, it can become rather hard to attain 3-way link exchanges so most people take the easier, more demanding path (weird, huh?)

1.) You need to comment on other, well-known blogs that share the same key words as yours. Use your blog and anchor text as the name. For example, Teens Make Money Online.....comment...

2.) Create another blog and link back to yours.

3.) Create a hubpage about making money online and link back to yours. Make sure your hubscore is above 75 though or the links will not be do-follow. You can achieve this by writing original content.

4.) Write an article on Associated Content and link back to your site with an anchored backlink.

5.) Create a Squidoo lens and link back to your blog.

6.) Add your blog to directories which can gain you backlinks.

Avoid link farms. A link farm has thousands of outgoing links, pointing to all kind of sites. Although they may sound great, google looks at them as a bad thing and they may actually hurt your seo.

Another way to get backlinks is to join forums and use your backlink in your signature. However, make sure that you are allowed to promote in your signature. You wouldn't want to get banned. Be an active part of the community and add valuable posts with your backlink in the signature.

Overall, this is how I, a 16 year old teen have been making hundreds of dollars with paid online survey sites each month. You have to work at it, and don't give up if you havent gotten a lot of referrals after the first few months. Given time, your site will gain good page rank and you will make LOADS with paid online surveys referral progams.
