Change Referral Bonus

[catherinedwhite]

The referral plan is one of the best.  Once you start getting a couple of those $5 bonuses, you will agree.
You have to create an online presence.  Start posting every where and get your name out there.
If you google my name, you will find quite a few links to me.....this Internet thing is amazing.

Who do you typically get to be referrals? Your family and friends? I don't think I have anyone that would want to do it?  How do you sell it to people?

The more places you are, the better. Join social & networking sites, ning sites, forums, ect. Set up a full profile with your name and information about you. Don't forget to leave your contact info so people can get a hold of you!

Most people will search to you to see what kind of person you are!  So remember to treat others how you like to be treated. Common sense really, this marketing thing!

Have fun...this is not something that happens over night.  But it will happen!

I don't think that would be very beneficial at all. I am not a big earner, I average $30/mth so lets see 7% is usually an industry standard on royalties for example so the person who referred me would only get $2.10 whereas right now they are getting $5.

I like how you tried to explain this. I want to take it a step further, and do a little reverse engineering if I may. We are paid $1 when a referral signs up and confirms their email. And we're paid $2 when a referrals completes their first offer. We're paid $5 when a referral cashes out each month, which requires $15 in offers, and $10 in bonuses. We can't count bonuses as part of the percentage, because FC didn't make any money off them. So, we'll work with $15.

At 10% commission of $15, we would make $1.50
At 20% commission of $15, we would make $3.00
At 50% commission of $15, we would make $7.50

Giving us HALF of the cashout for a reward would seem insane by ANY business practice. And yet, FC gives us $1 + $2 + $5 as a flat fee per referral. That's $8.00 total for a referrals first cashout, of which only $15 was in offers. That's 53 1/3 %! How much of a percentage are we wanting to change things to? I don't know about you, but I'm thrilled as all hell to make 53 1/3%!

Now how about the 2nd month a referrals cashes out? Same deal. They cash out at $25, of which $15 is offers, and $10 is bonuses. We can't expect to make a percent off bonuses, so again, we're only talking about $15. We make $5! That's 33 1/3 percent every month past the first! Again, how much of a percent are you wanting to change this to? Aren't we all content for 33 1/3%? I sure am!

How about stretching it for a whole year. Let's see how that plays out.

Referral earns $25 x 12 months = $300. But only $15 in offers should count. So, $15 x 12 = $180.
Referee will make the initial $8, plus $5 x 11 more months = $8 + $55 or $63. That's a total for the year of 35%

Nope, leave the program as it is! Flat fee is far better in this case, than any possible percentage FC could or would ever offer!

Dido. CC was the 1st gpt site i ever joined. After experiencing the headache trying to earn money from referrals there I feel spoiled by FC referral program lol

What would you rather make on referrals

I would like to make a percent of what my referrals make

What about you?

I wouldn't agree more on this because it is hard to get referrals and it is harder to keep them active. I suggest that the admins of FC should put this into consideration.

DON'T try to SELL it to People.  All you can do is present the information.  Some will - Some won't act on the information you give them.  Don't take it personally because it has nothing to do with you.
My online businesses I do not even mention to my friends and family.  But, you know what? 
I have made some NEW friend who I have much more in common with than the people I see every day.
