How do I refer others to PaperBackSwap?

There are many ways to refer others to PaperBackSwap!

The Spread the Word page has all the options: personalizable linked banners, icons, email footers, bookmarks, flyers, etc! If someone clicks on your personalized link or linked item and registers at that time, you will be automatically recorded as the referrer of the new account.

You can find the Spread the Word page in the menu under Community at the top of any page on the PaperBackSwap site
All of the items can be personalized there with one click!
- Personalizing will insert your user email (or PBS Nickname if you have chosen one) into the code for all the links and linked items on the page.

On the Spread the Word page, you can get:

A simple (personalized) link (to share on a website, in an email, in a text message, in a social media Post): To do that:

Go to the Spread the Word page (accessible from the menu under Community at the top of any page on the site)
Scroll down to the light blue stripe
- type your email address or account Nickname into the field in the stripe
- click the "click to personalize links" button
After you have personalized by clicking the button, the URL just below the light blue stripe (the Simple Referral Link) will be personalized (it will contain referral info unique to you), and you can copy and paste it wherever you want to share it!

Banners, logos, linked icons. To use these:

Personalize the links on the page (as above) Note: You will need to re-personalize the links each time you return to the Spread the Word page.
Choose the item you want to use
- Select-copy the code (all of it) in the box corresponding to the item you have chosen
- Paste it into the appropriate place (your email sig, your website, etc.).
- We do not have linked icons for emails yet, sorry; just for websites.

You can offer your books for request via Facebook and jump the FIFO (first-in, first-out) queue!

When you post a book to your account Bookshelf, you can share ("like") that posting
Anyone who clicks on your shared link and orders the book from you at PaperBackSwap will order your copy (even if it is not first in line for requests).
