Here’s a little story about how I made $97 in less than 5 minutes.
Now, you’re probably thinking, “Wow, dude… strippers don’t even make that kind of money!” right? I know… it sounds pretty incredible, but that’s just what I did, and as a result, I get FREE web hosting.
Curious? Well, check out the image Above.
So, here’s how it went down:
My friend Giuliano asked, “Hey man, what hosting company do you use for all of your blogs and stuff?”
Me: “I use Dreamhost.”
Giuliano: “Do you like them?”
Me: “Yeah, they’re awesome. I’ve been with them for like 10 years.”
Giuliano: “Cool. Can you send me the link?”
Me: “Sure. Here’s the link. http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?8012”
Giuliano: Clicks my affiliate link, signs up and pays for a year’s worth of Dreamhost Web Hosting and… Cha Ching!
I get $97 directly credited to my Dreamhost account.
Here’s the conversion in my Referral Summary:
I might add that, the account balance not only includes the one time $97 referral credit for referring Giuliano as a new Dreamhost customer, but on the same day, I also received a credit of $5 as a secondary referral that I made for referring someone else about 10 years ago. Then, the next day, ANOTHER referral credit!
Here’s what I saw in my inbox:
In case you didn’t quite get that, i’ll clarify:
10 years ago, I had another 5 minute conversation with someone and referred them to Dreamhost. They have been on Dreamhost for as long as I have, so for the past 10 years, I get paid monthly, a percentage of their fees. That’s 10 years of recurring income for 5 minutes of work over 10 YEARS AGO!
What is even more amazing is that this person ALSO refers customers to Dreamhost, so I ALSO get paid a small monthly percentage of what they pay as well.
Sounds like Easy Money, Right?
Well, it is! All because of these simple 5 minute conversations, as well as posting links to Dreamhost on my blog, I not only have had a major percentage of my web hosting bill and domain name registration fees completely covered for the past 10 years, but if I choose, I can even request a payout and transfer the money directly to my bank or PayPal account.
Now mind you, I haven’t exactly been pushing Dreamhost referrals all that much, so if I can have this much success with just some casual, passive referrals, think of how much I could have made if I promoted them more heavily?
