Title: How much do you earn from referrals?
Post by: spike on February 06, 2014, 12:35
I don't know if we're allowed to disclose absolute numbers, but it should be ok to talk in percentages.

I earn around 5% from referred contributors. Not too much, but still enough to surpass normal bigstock earnings by 400%, lol (sometimes even dreamstime).

How about you?

Percentages mean nothing in this case.

When I say 2% you still know nothing. I could well make 4000$ dollar per month or 50$.

Not always. My percentage is exactly 0% because I don't have any referrals.

You don't have to answer to my question if you think it doesn't makes sense. It's not tailored towards what you think should be asked, but what I'm interested in.

If you have a different question, you have a "new post" button and fire away.

I have a few referrals, not one has gotten accepted as far as I can tell - so percentage is 0.

The referral program could have been a cash cow a few years ago, but then they changed it and I don't know how good it is anymore. I have gotten a few bucks from the DT referral program. Probably less than 10 though and that includes the 5$ for a link.

used to earn several thousand a month before they effectively switched off the program. now it's something irrelevant. maybe 200-300 a month. referral years were fun. nice memories.
