    Hello. I have not used any affiliate programs as of yet. However I am intrested in the referal ones. If I found unique and none scam referal websites that pay X amount of dollars per legit referal.

    Would I be able to refer real life friends, and family? Like say I had ten friends who use the Internet at home. For example. Would I be able to refer these friends and still get paid?

    I need information on this type of affiliation referal programs.

    Thanks,
    BlueEew.

    You can even find some affiliate programs that have multi level referral bonus. That mean that you earn $/% from your friend and friend that sin up under him.

    So if there was a referal program that offers $25 per friend. If I had two people sign up per day I will be getting an easy $50 per day?

    Yes, you would. If there is 25$ per friend, then they shurly pay 25$ per active webmaster/member. You wont make money if they don't make money for that affiliate program. Always read there tos before you start, because you can lose all your money.

    The current affiliate program I'm using pays 20$ for signing up a refferal and getting him/her started, and 5% from every sale they make.

    Also they've recently launched a low competition product which would be great for newbies. See this thread for more info on the affiliate program I'm talking about: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=846708

    Thats what you are supposed to do, but after that? You have to target people who are really interesting in promoting that site.... think in that way and just dont go away after refering your family n frinds and making some $4- 5.

    Say if I had like ten people who are willing to sign up for me. I can use like ten differnt referal programs and then gain money from them all. This would be okay right?

    That would work only if your friends/referrals would be active members - that means that they would make money. There is almoust 0 no. of affiliate programs that would pay for passive member. Mybe you should refer your friends to gome ptc program where you will get 100% of what they will make and they don't need skills, just few minuts every day.

    If you know of 10 friends and you trust the program your involved in then by all means refer them. But you could lose friendships if the program turns out to be a scam. Friends can be tricky referrals.

    If your friends are interested in trying the program, then yes I'd recomend this. However, if you're simply refering friends who have no interest and simply using them to make money & generate leads; this seems a business model that's doomed. Also, few programs offer $25 for a free lead without a credit card etc. In short, I don't recomend this as a general affiliate marketing strategy. Of course, it's ok to refer friends to your site or lead based offers. But if your intent is only to send friends to an offer as a means of making money, when they have no interest... that's clearly ingenuine and hurting the advertiser.
