Referral Questions
Can I earn extra rewards for referring other people to AdPaid.com?Yes! When you refer other people to our program, you will receive a commission based on their earnings.
How can I refer other members?
You may place a link or banner with your referral url to AdPaid.com on your web site. You may add your referral url to your email signature. You can give out flyers or advertise in any way you wish except for spamming.
What is my referral link?
Your personal referral link can be found in your personal "Referral Center" page.
Are my referral earnings working?
Yes, it takes several paid emails received by members to have referral earnings show up, even for members that have 100's of people in their downline. Referral earnings are displayed once a referred member has earned their referring member at least 1 full cent. Technically a member with 100 referrals that have each earned him/her 1/2 cent has earned $0.50 but their earnings will not be shown until an individual member has earned them 1 full cent.
