			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve been visiting my site for a while, you know that I am a big supporter of <a title="Big Crumbs" href="http://www.freemoneyshopping.com" target="_blank">Big Crumbs</a> and it&#8217;s one of the very few referral programs that I participate in. Now that it&#8217;s the 5th of April, I can be 99% confident that all of the March earnings are up to date and post about my results this month.<strong><a title="March 2008 Big Crumbs Results" href="http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=thesoftwarecastle&amp;s=16930" target="_blank"><img src="http://downonourluck.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/march2008bigcrumbs.png" alt="March 2008 Big Crumbs Results" width="525" height="273" /></a></strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not quite as good as February and no where near January, but it&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>My direct referrals have jumped by 10 this month so I&#8217;m now at 67 and starting to realize that 1,000,000 directs may be pushing the goal, but I&#8217;ll keep trying. I&#8217;ll be looking at smaller goals along the way as well so here&#8217;s to 100 in two months.</p>
<p>Feel free to let me know what you think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t believe February has come and gone already, but here we are in March again and it&#8217;s time to take a look at my earnings from <a title="thesoftwarecastle Big Crumbs profile" href="http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=thesoftwarecastle&amp;s=13239" target="_blank">Big Crumbs</a> for February. This is one of the few referral programs that I participate in because it doesn&#8217;t take a lot of time and it ties hand in hand with selling on eBay. I always wait a couple of days before reviewing my results because they tend to back post earnings due to the commission reporting of some affiliate programs. Now, without further ado, here are my results that will be paid to me in April.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><strong><a href="http://www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=thesoftwarecastle&amp;s=13239"><img src="http://downonourluck.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/feb2008bigcrumbs.png" alt="February 2008 Big Crumbs earnings" /></a></strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;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 <a title="January 2008 Big Crumbs results" href="http://downonourluck.com/january-2008-big-crumbs-referral-earnings/">January</a> to 57 at the end of February. I know, it&#8217;s still a long way to 1,000,000, but I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t care if you&#8217;ve earned $1 or $10,000, you&#8217;ll be paid out what&#8217;s owed to you.</p>
