These days, there are a plethora of opportunities to make money
from home. From direct-selling companies like Avon, to mail
order, to info products, there are dozens of different ways to go
about making some extra cash. Unfortunately, most of these
opportunities have one common problem: you have to sell.

Most of us HATE selling. We hate going door-to-door, bugging
friends and family, and making phone calls. Even if the selling
doesn't require face-to-face or telephone contact, we worry that
nobody will want what we sell, and our commissions will be zippo.

These worries are not unfounded. Most who have tried the selling
game have failed either sooner or later, and lost money,
credibility, or pride in the process. So what's a would-be
business owner to do? Quit selling and start referring.

Referral business offer the great commissions and potential
earnings of sales, without the embarrassment or risks. Many are
free to join, and pay members handsomely for sending people to
their website or getting them to sign up for something.

Now, not all referral programs are created equal. Like they say,
the best things in life are free. Well, this also applies to
referral businesses. If it's free, easy, and won't take oodles
of time to promote, you might have a winner.

Also look for referral programs that offer true benefits to those
who join. You should be able to use the products or services
involved, but so should a great majority of those you'll be
referring. For example, a program that refers people to apply
for credit cars would be universally applicable, especially
during the holiday shopping season.

Many referral businesses also compensate members for several
levels deep. This means that not only do you get paid for those
YOU refer, but you also get paid for the referrals THEY bring in,
and so on. So, if you make a successful referral to Joe, and Joe
then refers Debra, you get paid one amount for Joe's referral,
and another for Debra's. When Debra makes referrals, you also
get paid. It can go on and on.

It sounds simple, and it is. Referral programs often take zero
money, very little time or money to promote, and offer unlimited
earnings potential. Just make sure you're referring people to
something they can use.
