If you’re not familiar with BigCrumbs, it’s a cash back website where you get cash back on purchases at participating online retailers such Buy.com, Walmart.com, etc. The difference is that you get a small percentage of cash back for your referral’s purchases also. Build up a network of active referrals and you might build up a small stream of passive income to pay for a meal here and there. Also the cash back rates are pretty competitive when compared with sites like Fatwallet.
I buy and sell things on Half.com from time to time. I noticed that Half.com gives 4% cash back on purchases through the site. So I decided that each person that purchases an item is a potential referral to BigCrumbs. So in all my correspondence with each buyer I’ll usually list the tracking number, shipping update, etc. and also end with a short spiel about earning cash back on future Half.com purchases.
I’ll link my referral link using the url shortening service bit.ly.
That’s an incredibly creative way to earn referrals. I wonder what other services could be used in the same way. Well done!
