BigCrumbs is a cashback affiliate site that does things a little differently.

Yeah, it offers generic cashback just like any other affiliate site. Some of the cashback rates are worse; some are better (it’s actually one of the few affiliate sites that offers cashback on ebay purchases).

But BigCrumbs is unique and potentially a huge money-maker.

The most interesting twist about BigCrumbs is that there is a second way to make money: referrals. They will give you a percentage of all purchases that your referrals make.

When you sign up, you choose to be either a CrumbSaver (higher personal cashback but no referral income) or a CrumbEarner (lower personal cashback but you get referral commissions).

The referral income works up to 5 generations. The following is from the BigCrumbs website:

“Let’s say a friend you referred makes a purchase for $200 one month. Further, the listed retailer referral commission is 1.2%. Here you would earn $2.40 (1.2% of $200). Whoever referred you would also earn $2.40, as well as the person who referred them, on up to five people.

Doesn’t sound like much? Let’s say you refer 10 friends who join as CrumbEarners, each of whom then refers 10 more CrumbEarners, all the way to 5 generations. In this scenario, you will have referred a total of 111,110 people. That $2.40 would be $266,664.00 for the month, if they each made similar purchases.”

Amazing, huh? Don’t have any friends? That’s ok because if someone signs up for BigCrumbs without a referrer, they get randomly assigned to someone that might be you!

If you build a large referral base or have some wealthy friends that make a lot of online purchases, there is potential there to make a good amount of money. The top earners make hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month for doing nothing!
