This month’s update is a little overdue, but I did lose my way a little during August. July was an another good month for earning Big Crumbs referrals as I added another 10 people to my downline. Thank you to all that signed up under my username.

My referral earnings were down a little from June to $18.18, but August is really looking up. I really think that Big Crumbs needs to send out reminders a little more often than they do. Maybe updates with coupon links or sales that affiliates are running. I don’t have much more to say regarding my referral earnings, so this post is going to be quite short.

If you are a member of Big Crumbs already, I recommend purchasing a domain from GoDaddy or your favorite registrar and forwarding it to your referral link. If you are already a member of Big Crumbs, check the Big Crumbs retailers, to see if your favorite registrar is available. If they are not, contact Vince and he will check and see if they can be added. If they are, buy your forwarding domain through the BC link and you can earn cash back for your domain purchase. Double and triple check your forwarded link to make sure it’s correct, check back next Tuesday to find out why.

My tip for the month is to remember that Big Crumbs offers cash back for purchases from GoDaddy.com. If you purchase your domains from them, then you may want to check into this great site to earn some rebates on your domain purchases.

After all of my cleaning, I am finally ready to start the spreadsheet needed for my contest. There will be two parts to this and one of them will take a little manual tracking on my part. Stay tuned for more details.

If you have been following these posts, I hope you can see the potential here for some easy, passive, supplemental income for your eBay business or any other online business you may run.

I find it funny that the number one search that brings people to my Cash Back Squidoo Page is “Big Crumbs Scam”. I hope the visitor finds the page helpful enough to convince them that Big Crumbs is not a scam. It does sound too good to be true, but they really do pay and they pay when they say they do.

Watch my blog for details on a contest that I’ll be running for Big Crumbs real soon. It won’t take a ton of work to enter and I hope it will be fun for entrants as well as myself.

It’s not quite as good as February and no where near January, but it’s still extra money in my pocket. I think part of the drop could be due to the economy, but I still wish Big Crumbs would email it’s members a reminder to shop every 2 months. I think this would be unintrusive but yet enough to keep members coming back. This is about the same time-span that Ebates uses for reminding their customers as well.

My direct referrals have jumped by 10 this month so I’m now at 67 and starting to realize that 1,000,000 directs may be pushing the goal, but I’ll keep trying. I’ll be looking at smaller goals along the way as well so here’s to 100 in two months.

Feel free to let me know what you think.

My results are a little worse than what January brought, but the total overall sales are more, which is a good thing; hopefully more people are remembering to click through before making their purchases. I’m sure the variance in earnings occurred from people shopping on different sites with smaller cash back percentages. Also, for the first time in my 15 months as a member, my 1st level referrals have the highest purchase total. This is a result of my direct referrals growing from 43 at the end of January to 57 at the end of February. I know, it’s still a long way to 1,000,000, but I’ll keep plugging. On top of the $23.55 from my referrals, I will also be paid $1.37 in cash back from my own purchases.

Please note that these results may not be typical earnings with Big Crumbs as I have been a member for just over 15 months now, but they don’t care if you’ve earned $1 or $10,000, you’ll be paid out what’s owed to you.
