Like affiliate marketing, referral marketing is a great way to make money online.

While you have to sell something to get commission via affiliate marketing, you can make money without selling anything in referral marketing.

All you need to do is, refer people on a particular site. You will get a handsome revenue when they take some actions.

Previously I shared how to make money Bidvertiser referral program. In this post, I will be talking about Infolinks Referral Program.

Recently Infolinks launched publisher referral program that offers you to earn 10% of your referred publishers’ revenue.

What Is Infolinks?

If you hear about Infolinks for the first time, here are some information for you.

The amazing thing about Infolinks is, you can use it with other advertising networks like Adsense to increase your revenue. Infolinks offer 5 different types of ad units – InFrame, InSearch, InTag, InScreen and InText.

How Infolinks Referral Program Works

It works like other advertising networks’ referral programs.

When someone joins on Infolinks based on your recommendation and start using Infolinks on his site, you will get 10% of his revenue for first 12 months.

For example, if someone referred by you makes $1000 in 12 months, you will get $100 without doing anything. The more you refer, the more you earn.

Now let’s see how exactly it works.

1. Once you have signed up for Infolinks, you will get a unique referral link.
2. You will be promoting Infolinks using your referral link.
3. A visitor clicks on you referral link and decides to use Infolinks in his blog.
4. Infolinks finds that the user is referred by you.
5. You will get 10% of that person’s revenue for one year.
