Webmaster referral $$$
 

Almost 10 years in the adult industry I made like $10 bucks by referring other webmasters.

Is there anyone here who ever made any money by referring other webmasters?

I'm sure some of the guys/girls on GFY have made a bit of money. I haven't made much either.

Click SIG... works out very well for webmaster referral.

I have made thousands.. just gotta be friends with the right people and be super fast to spam the fuck out of them :)

what cybermike wrote

Yep, I've made quite a lot of money from referrals.

I usually get at least $200/month, every single month, from referrals.

:2 cents:

See sig btw! :P

I did alright with webmaster referrals once upon a time.

We have lots and lots of webmasters making extra cash on referrals.

Made some from that links through the years. Definitely worth's trying

I have made lots.. people always ask the sponsors that I'm using and even ask for a ref link..

I don't make much, around $60-80 per month.

Here and there but not enough to go ballin

:2 cents:

Maybe not ballin, but definitely bowling.

see sig:winkwink:

Webmaster referrals are stupid to do if you ask me. (unless your a large resources site)

For every webmaster that signs up, that's less money for me.

If there was a fucking pile of free money, would you refer your fucking friends and tell them where it is?

The more webmasters a program has pushing them, the lower your payout will be. :2 cents:

I make enough for a car payment every month :)

Like anything else, it depends how hard you work at it and how many years you put into it.

A couple of hundred a year for me. Drinking money.

I made over $250 from AdultProfit reffered webmasters, $200 from HugeTraffic and about $75 from AWEmpire last year...
So overall it's not bad really...

I did made some ref $$$ in the past but looks like now thats dying slowly

It don't get many people much these days

each month is different , all possible between 10 and 300 dollars/month

I made 30 cents. Did someone buy a trial somewhere?

the legit way to do it is if you send a webmaster that generates 100 in sales u get a 100 dollars

wow, but mine and other webmaters clicks and also at least one guys testing signup are not counted ... no, thanks, i am not listening to your spam ...

spacedog, you are right, we all know webmaster referrals are stupid to do, but most of us, we do it .

Each one of my CCBill checks has a "Partner Bonus" sub-affiliates I've signed-up. I've never attempted to sign anyone up under any CCBill sponsors. Yet, I get roughly $10-$25 a week in partner bonuses.

Think about this for a second.

If your argument for not signing up webmasters is that you are creating your own competition then you are thinking very small.

For instance if a sponsor is fairly new/unknown then it would be in your and others best interests to sign up as many webmasters as possible so that you can get a small slice of a soon to be bigger pie (assuming the sponsor is good).

If you can capture 5-10% of many webmasters sales then does it really matter if more people are promoting the program?

Besides, even if someone signs up with you it doesn't mean they are going to promote the sites or make much money with them, thereby reducing overall competition.

You also never know if one of your referrals will be a person that sends a lot of sign ups. That means less work for you and more passive income.

I just checked for 2008 on the bigger proggies and it was ~$4500 so almost 400 bucks a month in 08.

I was making $2500 a month just off of cafepress.com referrals alone for quite a while. Then they decided out of the blue to change their TOS so that referral $ were only paid out for one year after each webmaster was initially referred.

Now my $2500 a month is around $170 a month, and it will obviously continue to go down as each referral hits their year limit.

Didn't seem right and I can't believe it was legal for them to do that.:mad:

there're money in referrals )

not VERY big yet, but we have nice results on Signbucks Daily

i make about 20k/yr off ref $

repeat post

That's fucked.

all i got to say is :)

You'd be right, had this been an industry with an extremely small number of webmasters and extremely limited information availability.

As it stands, however, you are entirely wrong. There are shitloads of webmasters, most with a relatively tiny piece of the traffic market. Chances of losing a sale to a webmaster you yourself referred are therefore extremely small.

Moreover, this being the internet and all, information spreads easily and quickly. If people don't know about a program now, they probably will in a few weeks if it's relevant to their traffic and the program owners know anything about marketing.

Hell, I'm pretty sure I could make a new program known to several thousands of webmasters within the span of a week without even trying hard.

So basically, people are probably going to find the program anyway. It might as well be you who gets the 5-10% commission on their sales :2 cents:

I've made over 100k from wm referrals =]

The affiliates to my paysite are doing very good by referring other webmasters over to my program, True Amateur Cash. It has alot to do with the type of content that you are asking other webmasters to promote. Everything that I shoot for True Amateur Models is 100% exclusive content and consists of REAL amateur girls and not pro models pretending to be amateur. Very steady and good conversions with initial signups as well as rebills.

So yeah, you can make money by referring other webmasters but you if the content doesn't convert then it doesn't really matter how many webmasters you refer. It also helps to show the webmaster that you are referring over stats of your earnings. If they see that other webmasters are making money (and as long as they are getting decent traffic) then they should do well too. Not sure what types of programs you were promoting but all I know is trhat my affiliates are doing great and the ones that refer over other webmasters, they are bringing in sales very steadily as well.

yeah, it's just a little addition to pension with least effort ;)

I have a few affiliates who earn almost more that way than they do on their own sales. They make it part of their earning strategy and see it as recruiting for us and calling it a founders fee.

It only takes a few guys to change it from bowlin to ballin.

I made and still make money with a site like this http://adult-sponsor-list.com and check my sig :)

I made more than that only with a sponsor in my sig (each of them) ;)
