#1 – Email Signature – This is so simple I can’t believe it took me months to realize it . Add your referral link or banner to your e-mail signature. I added it once to my signature in my settings and now every time I send or reply to an e-mail, my referral link or banner automatically appears beneath what I’ve written (Note – not all email providers allow HTML code in the signature which you need for a banner).

#2 – Forum Posting – This is probably where I’ve built the majority of my referral base. I register and post in forums, particularly those related to making money, stay at home moms, work at home, Get Paid To forums, etc. Once I’m registered with a new forum, I logon and setup a personal signature in the forum settings. My signature includes a text referral link and/or a banner, and every time I post, this signature is shown beneath my post. If you do this, I highly suggest mentioning (in text) that DealsNCash pays a $5 signup bonus. Most people who are members of other online pay programs are used to getting little to nothing for a signup bonus, so this will grab their attention. Once my profile is done including my signature, I visit the forum every few days or once a week and spend a few minutes browsing the threads looking for topics I’m interested in or think I can contribute to. When I find one, I post a relevant response with content. Don’t spam a forum, it will get you banned . Be sure to read the “new members” or “FAQ” thread before posting to make sure you know what their rules are .

#3 – Pitch Cards – These look just like a business card, but instead of the traditional name, phone and so on, you instead print some sort of marketing pitch. I print two tag lines, something like “Earn $$ From Home” and “No Cost ~ No Credit Card ~ No Experience Required” and the third line says “For more information, go to: . If your referral link is too long to fit on a card , you can get a shortened URL at sites like tinyurl.com. I keep it simple when it comes to distributing these and I don’t go out of my way to do so. I carry them in my purse and while I’m out and about I’ll leave them wherever they’ll get attention like bulletin boards in grocery stores. You can print your own cards on card stock and cut them. Another option that would probably save you money (after ink and card stock) and will definitely give you a better looking card is to have them commercially printed. There’s a deal out there right now where you can get 250 cards for free, no strings attached, you simply pay shipping which I believe was around $5 the last time I ordered. They offer a lot of card templates to choose from. I selected one that was colorful to capture attention, and then kept the text that I added simple, in black print, and short & sweet.

Martha ~ I’m looking forward to reading your future posts. When it comes to advertising on the internet, it may be easy, but there’s always something new to learn. Thanks again!
