The most lucrative way to make money from sites that are based around tasks or surveys or rewards, ala Cash Crate or InstaGC, is to rack up a bunch of referrals.
Referrals are people that sign up using your link. You receive a percentage, usually 10-20% of everything they earn. Basically they become your employees except you're not paying them, the company is. This can be lucrative and it's basically the easiest way to make money because there's very little work involved for you. Of course the methods I list below can also be used for actual affiliate sales if that's your thing.
1. Rent an Email List - No one wants to drop cash, but if you have a little dough to spend and you want to build up some referrals, Rent-a-List is really the way to go. They send your pitch out to very targeted audiences and guarantee you a 40% click through rate, which is really good. This works particularly well for make money sites since there are tons of lists for this certain niche. Their pricing is very fair (21 bucks for the lowest package), give it a try at least, it might be for you.
2. Forum Signatures - Being an active forum member and using your signature to get referrals is an amazingly effective practice. There are many forums related to making money online. If you actively participate and get well respected within the community people will be inclined to check out the stuff you promote in your signature. Popular forums rank very well in google as well, so you also expose your promotions to much more traffic than you may think.
3. Start a Blog - A boring suggestion. An obvious suggestion. But it works. The best advice I can give is NEVER give up. Make a post every single day. Give out some good advice. Of course link your referral sites wherever you think they will receive the most exposure. For more blogging advice and a little inspiration check out the 4 posts below I did earlier.

I can't agree more with you! When starting a blog never giving up and keeping it entertaining is important. Always try to write about a subject you feel passionate about; because there will be times when you would just spend your time on YT than do some actual work on it.
ReplyDeleteThe forum idea is great too! I would also put a link back to my sites, so I could create some cheap backlinking to boot.
