    Reciprocate views by viewing other user's content. Be sure to leave fun comments on each view to increase interest in your content. If users see your comments and userid, they are more likely to visit your content, which earns you more points. You also earn points for forwarding other user's emails. There are quick link buttons to share content on social networks available within each post.

  6. Step 6
    Share your page with others

    Post your page link to other sites using the buttons provided, but be careful not to SPAM or you may end up with a canceled account. Let others know that you want to share your content. Each view of your content earns you points which can be used for rewards or donations. Sharing your posts via the linking options directs others to your posts directly earning you page views.

There are two ways to invite, the first is sending them an email directly from ForwardOn by clicking "Invite by email" or you can also post your referral link found under "Invite from Your Blog" to any website you like.
