Referrals as a business

Looking at the referral page, i can’t see how long the cookie lasts, any idea?

You can test it with your ref. id; I see it’s 3 months.

You’ve definitely gotta drive a LOT of traffic to make a serious income from it – here’s my latest month’s stats:

April 2010 4480 Clickthroughs 23 Registered Members 14 Deposits

Not awesome numbers when taken alone, but I could easily spend a page just analyzing referral stats, so I’ll let you make of them what you will

Coupled with product sales, referring people is a no-brainer – I personally have a pretty aggressive plan for growing my own referral base over the next couple months.

The ultimate question of whether it’s worth it to invest time into referrals instead of investing time into new products is a huge topic to debate though.

Back in the day when it was 50% people were making thousands a month from referrals alone on AD, we’ve saturated the market now though since no-one seems to make that much anymore, get in there quick!

My stats for April are…

1136 Clickthroughs 6 Registered Members 4 Deposits

And this is with a buySellAds placement. sigh

@epicera You’ll have to share your secrets if your marketing turns out to be effective

Yes envato marketplace April myclicks:

April 2010 3266 Clickthroughs 34 Registered Members 24 Deposits $241.50

Fair or not discussed..

Thanks for everybody, take care of yourself..

I have planned to make a site soon that will most likely advertise almost everything on the marketplaces. Depends if i can code it all though, no promisies it will surely come out

I would put my ideas but i don’t want anyone taking my ideas

i sell templates here, but also run a website where i show new and interesting themes from TF http://www.iac.hr/

i pick them by myself, but i welcome all the suggestions for themes that will be displayed.

Yeah, the referrals system sucks big-time!

First, if a person EVER visited a marketplace before, you get nothing;

Second, if he/she buys a 2$ item from TF you get 30% out of 2$; but if that person goes and spends $1 million on ActiveDen, you won’t get anything!

It has been said many times, but every time we only hear silence from Envato… I wonder why?!

My highest click thru;

February 2010 1235 Clickthroughs 0 Registered Members 0 Deposits $0.00

I guess users are more likely to checkout a TF profile related to wordpress i.e WP something.. I would anyway… WpExplorer’s site is quite good.
