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. This method takes time (often up to 6 months) and for this reason people often give up on it.

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 explanation 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.

4. Make a YouTube video explaining how you have made money by taking surveys online. 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. Again, make sure that you use your blog link, and not your referral link.

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. Just be careful not to overpost, as this will likely get most of your ads deleted.

7. Tell your friends and family!

When getting referrals for paid online survey sites you have to rinse and repeat. Go through methods and if they do not work out for you then try something else.
