    Can you live off of referrals alone?

    I have one sponsor that I don't promote all that much anymore but I make a tidy sum on my referrals each month. Made me wonder if it's possible to reach a stage where all or most of your income came from commission on referrals and not work you did yourself.

    That's the theory behind those multi-level marketing programs, right? But could it work in adult?

    And sponsors, do you have feelings about paying out referral commissions to webmasters who aren't actively promoting your program anymore?

          In order to really make a decent amount bank off refferals it takes work just like anything else, and I know for our programs, we have no problem with people just sending refferals...

              paying an "non" active webmaster is fine, only means the person they reffered is making some money for all involved

                  I am sure it is possible, but it will require years of work.

                              Saw a couple of affiliates making some big bickies with clickcash a few years ago... unfortunately they were 2 levels down, not one! I still made $50 a week, and the girl that referred directly them got $500

                                  We have one person that has been getting referral checks for a few years now I guess. She wouldn't be able to survive on them, but I know they come in handy and I don't mind sending them out.

                                  We have others that make referral money, but no one has been getting them as long or as frequently as her.

                                              yupe with us too, we have no problem paying affiliate sending referrals.

                                              in addition we pay 1% to your tier 3 webmasters.
                                              i believe we are one of few who offer 3 level of commission.

                                              hit me up for more info.

                                                      very well possible, if you stay in touch with them and help them make more money every month

                                                              I've heard that some programs will can you if you aren't actively promoting them and just sucking referral money. Can't say exactly who, but I've heard they're out there.

                                                              Personally I don't see anything wrong with it. Referral money means that someone is sending the program joins at least, and without those referrals there wouldn't even be that revenue stream. Let 'em be I say.

It happens so many times that you get cut off for one reason or another, e.g. the referrals are gone once programs change their stats system or make other 'upgrades'.

                                                                                                          It's a nice extra though

                                                                                                              I still wonder why you sold that site

                                                                                                              will76 built a similar one 2 years later and it apparently became succesfull

                                                                                                              IMO passive income is the best thing that can happen to you and its definitely worth trying

                                                                                                              having said that, I dont really have any referral income nowadays, well, some small one with one program, but it's smaller than my GFY sig income, so nothing to write home about

                                                                                                              its also kinda funny cause people who try to get webmaster referrals are usually looked down at, while in reality they are just being smart
                                                                                                              I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                                                                                                              I've made over 200K just in clickcash referrals over the last couple years. But what I was doing was different. I was actually helping people and providing a free service to them that helped them make more money. When i stopped having time to help new people I stopped promoting the site.

                                                                                                                              ClickCash was a good fit for me, I had been promoting them for years and was very familar with their product. Also since they didn't offer a lot of tools to webmasters I could not only offer this to them but offer them the things that I have test and know that work the best.

                                                                                                                              If you want to just throw a link out to a sponsor in every thread where they ask for "asian sites" etc... I can't imagine you would make a lot of money. Or at least what I consider a lot of money to be.

                                                                                                                                  Assuming he was not BS'ing, it looked good.

                                                                                                                                  if i was the type to want people to suck my eCock and you saw me saying stuff like I fly first class and showing pictures of my expensive cars and shit, then yeah I would think i was bs'ing too. But i hope most people know from posting i am not like that and I can give a shit what people think, so you can take what I am saying to be the truth. I have no reason to lie and don't recall anyone ever saying i have cheated them or lied about something etc.

                                                                                                                                  i only made this post because i wanted to say eCock
