Earn money from referrals

You can actually earn a bit of money by helping us. Since we don’t always have the time to look for advertisers, you can help us find sponsors for a little cash in return. We are offering a 10% commission rate on all sucessfully referred advertisers. Let’s say you convince Site A to advertise with us, Site A then sent a bill for $100. You and Site A will send an e-mail to us confirming that you were the referrer. You will then be sent $10 for your marketing effort. Please note the offer only is valid for total campaigns $50 and over.
