Even sending 10 webmasters that make $100 a week each... that will earn you an extra $50 a week, 200 a month, etc.. Multiple that by 10 and you'll have $2,000 extra...More than most people make working a 9-5. 
The bonus payouts are in general, a bit confusing. Each does have it's own terms if you do read into their program deep enough though...Just like a contract on a car purchase. There is always fine print.  |
Good point but I still do not see it in fine print. Like i said, a buddy of mine brought this to my attention. If your knew to the biz or never have dealt with the referal aspect of it, there is not enough info that affiliate companies give you explaining the fact that you need X amount of sales to get the $100 - $200 plus bonus. Most people you refer send say around 5,000 hits or so to try out a new company and how they convert. If they convert then they will keep pushing you, if not then go elsewhere. Now I dont know a ton of people that promote just 1 program so you really have to have a ton of webmasters under you to make a living off of webmaster referals unless you have been referring people for years or have got tons of guys who have very nice traffic. To me, they are considered quality webmasters. Now out of every person you refer say, how many do you consider quality? quality as in sending signups. Some may argue every signup counts but its keeping webmasters bringing in the constant flow of traffic happy so you yourself do not lose out on money if you refered them.
