For people who have a website from where they refer people to freelance sites [FSs]: for them, there is a new opportunity to earn money online. Freelancer(dot)co(dot)uk is a new FS where an affiliate program is offered.
This is quite a new FS but the growth that it has shown from the [very] beginning is solid. I personally feel that this site will become a trusted marketplace for buyers and service providers in a very quick time.
The good news [for webmasters] is that Freelancer(dot)co(dot)uk is offering an affiliate program. Everyone can participate in it. If you own a site where you have mentioned different freelance sites [that is: if you give good information about freelance sites to users], then Freelancer(dot)co(dot)uk is offering an opportunity to earn money online via mentioning their site in your list:
Have I joined this affiliate program?
Yes, but I joined it just recently.
Have I earned any money from this affiliate program?
Yes, I have earned ok amount of money. I think around $150 in 4 or so months. I know this is not a big amount of moneybut instead of placing normal links to freelance sites, why not place affiliate links where it is applicable? Placing affiliate links will not harm your site.
[However, it is suggested to include only few affiliate links in your site and also: a site only qualifies for placing them, if it provides some very good content. There should be a very good reason for the users to first visit your site before joining the other site, whose affiliate links are placed in your site. So to promote a freelance site, your site should have an excellent guide that will teach users about the basics. In my website, currently, I have more than 4000 pages. And in these 4000 pages, only 3 pages have affiliate links. I think the total affiliate links are around 10 or so. You can see that I have not placed any affiliate link in this post too. There are just 3 main guides and the rest of the content has tips/more-information and no affiliate links].
If you are providing good information in your site and if you are helping others to earn money online: then I think you deserve to get some money in return. This is possible via placing affiliate links to different freelance sites.
When someone earns money at a freelance site: then you will also earn little money.
The bottom line: If you have a website with a Niche related to freelancing sites: then you can consider this opportunity. Freelancer(dot)co(dot)uk pays $0.25 to $1.00 for Legit Registrations.
