Many companies pay referrals when you bring in a customer. These companies can range from IT companies to even Marketing companies.
Think of it as being an unofficial, commissioned salesperson – when you refer someone to the company, and they buy/take up the services/products, you get a cut of it. This also works in business to business (B2B) dealings.
For example, many small IT companies are willing to give you a small referral fee ranging from $50 – 500, if you find someone willing to do a website with them. Interested in doing this?
