Earn money while you shop

I’ve been using the site for a couple of years when I go shopping at eBay, at Target, shopping for gifts or shoes or clothing.
Big Crumbs allows you to earn the “affiliate” commissions that are paid by each individual company they represent (and there are a LOT of them) every time you buy something!
It might sound too good to be true, especially because it’s free and easy, but I’ve been doing it for quite awhile. I’ve received checks, myself, and it’s based on a sound business model.
Whenever you shop at places you already shop at (such as eBay, Gap, Old Navy, Circuit City, Target and many, many more), you can earn commissions that are set aside by those companies.
Also, whenever anybody you refer shops through Big Crumbs (at any of the vast array of online stores), we get paid too! Isn’t that awesome?
It gets even better: Whenever anyone referred by our referrals shops, we can also get paid. We can actually get paid on referrals up to 5 generations away.
Don’t worry; it’s not a pyramid scheme. It’s just a referral program that lets us take advantage of what some call “viral marketing.” It’s free to join and very easy to use. And it’s based on a real service that helps us save when we shop.
You see, BigCrumbs.com is paid a marketing commission by partner retailers, and they use that to pay cash back and referral commissions to us. Super easy!
So, I’ve told you about this site, you stop by Big Crumbs, then shop just like you normally do, but now you save cash. I also get a little cash for telling you about BigCrumbs.com.
Then, if you tell more people, YOU can get paid when they shop (and so can I) and so on. So, we can actually earn cash each time thousands of people shop (if we keep telling more people about it).
This is a great way to earn a little money every time we shop. In fact, I bought plane tickets through a Big Crumbs retailer and earned a nice commission back. It’s really fun to earn money for buying things for a change!

Hi -
Well written and wordy
I think “Value” is a good strategy. If we look at the core of why Hotmail and Gmail took off so well we can see “value”.
Seth Godin's view on Viral marketing is very good but seems more aimed towards a “one-off”.
Other forms of Viral marketing extent to “value and benefit” concept.
Like if MySpace had a 3rd Party Developer program allowing 3rdparty developers to make tools approved by Myspace and then sell/lease the tools to the userbase. Then this would surely lend well to a viral program as the developers would get the word out in order to make their product more visible.
Viral should not be quantified by how many users participate as the only way to validate a viral marketing program in terms of effectiveness.
One thing is for sure……Fun indeed!
Thanks!
no
well back in the day they used to do it and be proud. Not like nowadays…

"Viral" marketing??? Sounds like an infection. Are you sure you don't mean "Virtual"?
