GET CASHBACK FOR ALL PURCHASES MADE BY YOU, YOUR FRIENDS, AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS’ FRIENDS’ FRIENDS.

(5 LEVELS DEEP)


It may sound too good to be true, but it's real.

There's no mystery.

No monthly payments or signup fees.

It’s all free.

Just a sound business model and simple math is involved.

THIS DOES NOT JUST BENEFIT YOU, BUT IT BENEFITS EVERYONE WHO MAKES ANY KIND OF ONLINE PURCHASE, AT ANY TIME, FOREVER.

FIVE levels deep of consistent cash flow.



FIVE levels of potentially infinite amount of online shoppers.



FIVE levels that could be making you money WITHOUT YOU MARKETING A THING!







Before we start, I would like to take the opportunity to answer the following three questions:

1. THIS ISN’T ONE OF THOSE FILL OUT SURVEY GAMES IS IT?

2. WHAT IS BIGCRUMB?

3. HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

Answer 1: No, this is DEFINETELY not a “fill out surveys all day from home and get rich” scheme. There is no giving away of your personal information. There is no giving away of bank information. In fact, any kind of money making opportunity that asks you for your bank information, I advise that you RUN, and RUN FAST.

Answer 2: Bigcrumb is a company that has partnered with the large number of various online retailers out there on the world wide web, including the retailers I that I listed above.

Answer 3: Bigcrumb is unique in two ways: One, Bigcrumb provides their retailers with customers. Rather than Bigcrumb’s retailers having to market you to their site, Bigcrumb gets paid to do the job for them, while at the same time, giving you, the customer, and any customer(s) you refer, a good cut of the payment. So everyone benefits. The retailer, because they converted a customer; You and Bigcrumb, because both you and Bigcrumb receive a cut of the profit from the sale, and the customer, because they get an immediate significant discount on their purchase. Two, there are no gimmicks and no promises. The reason this works is because you’re friends, family, co-workers, and then all of their friends, family, and family co-workers etc. etc. all save money immediately on their online purchase, while at the same time YOU receive a cut of the profit. After all, if YOU referred them to that retailer, you DESERVE to get paid. The best part is that even though you may be a referral below another referral, you profit the same percentage each time! It comes out of BigCrumb’s pockets and not yours!

~~~Now at this point, you might already want to jump the gun and sign up. I recommend that you let me explain to you the difference between the two different types of membership before you do. (and NOTE: Membership is FREE regardless of which you choose)

With Bigcrumb, there are two different types of membership.

1) CrumbSaver

2) CrumbEarner

I’ll be answering the following questions:

4. WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CrumbSAVER, AND CrumbEARNER?

5. WHY MIGHT CrumbSAVER BE A BETTER CHOICE FOR ME?

6. WHY MIGHT CrumbEARNER BE A BETTER CHOICE FOR ME?

ANSWER 4: The main difference between (1) CrumbSaver -and- (2) CrumbEarner, is that CrumbSavers receive a higher percent on their own personal purchases, and a percent on immediate referrals (1 level), while CrumbEarners receive a much lower percent on their own personal purchases, but receive a percent on all referrals up to 5 levels deep.

ANSWER 5: The reason I advised that you should not sign up right away is because being a CrumbSaver is basically a one time deal. One you decide to be a CrumbEarner, you are stuck as a CrumbEarner. However, you can be a CrumbSaver as long as you like and change to a CrumbEarner later at anytime. You just won’t be able to change back. As a CrumbSaver, you would receive an average of 20-36% on all personal purchases. If any of the following criteria meets your situation, then a CrumbSaver membership might be the right choice for you:

You make a large number of online purchases.



You prefer not to refer users outside of your immediate friends.



You don’t mind missing out on any possible referrals that your friends make.





ANSWER 6: With a CrumbEarner membership, you take a percent of the profit for any purchase made within the 5 levels of referrals, but receive lower savings for personal purchases. If ANY of the following criteria meets your situation, then a CrumbEarner membership is probably the right choice for you.

You don’t make a large number of online purchases.



You want to profit from 5 levels of referrals



You want to have cash flow without having to consistently bring in referrals



You run an online business (or plan on running one)



You run an eBay storefront (or don’t mind running one)



You send newsletters (or don’t mind sending newsletters)





So now that I’ve gone over the two different types of membership, you’re more than welcome to continue onto becoming a member. But be sure to continue reading once you sign up. We’ve barely just begun. I’m going to show you how to bring in referrals outside of your circle of friends.

Now that you have your free membership with BIG Crumb, you have to decide, how much do you want to market. Do you even want to market to gain referrals? Or would you prefer to benefit off of immediate friend referrals. Well while you think about what you really want, here are a few charts of realistic numbers for CrumbEarner memberships. The average Referral commission on BIG Crumb is 0.7%. However, I see 1.0% for a majority of the more popular retailers. Either way, 0.7% or 1.0% is hardly profit at first glance; however, take a closer look at the numbers generated by their calculator.

~~Let’s say that you referred 5 users.~~

Then those 5 users each referred 5 more users of their own.

Then those 5 users each referred another 5 users.

Then those 5 users each referred another 5 users.

Then those 5 users each referred another 5 users.

And FINALLY those 5 users each referred another 5 users.

Then to top it off, lets say each of those users spend $25.00 exactly each month. Obviously in the real world, some spend more, some spend less. But we’ll say $25 is the average. You would be looking at $683.38 per month (4 weeks). Notice, PER MONTH. That’s about $170.85 a week, and $8,883.94 PER YEAR (52 weeks). You might as well have received a $10,000 pay raise on top of your salary. If you want to break it down into hourly, it would be an extra $4.27 per hour pay raise. Now note that this is of course with you only referring ONLY 5 MEMBERS. What happens when you refer more than that? Do you want to check for yourself?

Go to BIGCRUMBS and click on the “Calculator” on the right side. Now that you’ve seen the numbers (and to be honest I’ve seen far better numbers by other BigCrumb members easily), you should devise a plan, or even follow mine (which is proven to work). The KEY is to refer mostly ACTIVE online shoppers but at the same time refer marketers for future growth. How many levels deep they are don’t matter as you receive the same percent regardless of whether they are direct referrals or level 5 referrals. You need online shoppers to bring you your commissions. If you referred online shoppers that were active in the purchasing of product week by week or month by month, you’re golden. You technically wouldn’t even need marketers. BUT unless you want to be referring active online shoppers FOREVER, you will need marketers as every referral they make, is one more referral that you’ve made! Think of it as having every single referral that Levels 1 through 4 bring in, are YOUR referrals TOO!

Some might think this is a pyramid scheme, but let me tell you that it’s far from it. The difference between a pyramid scheme and BIG CRUMBS is that your referrals only go 5 levels deep and that the commission is the same for all referrals. In a pyramid scheme, the referrals go on to the VERY TOP. So the guys at the top make all the money while all the guys at the bottom struggle to make what the guys at the top “proved to had made”. In addition, your commission doesn’t lessen each level down, it stays exactly the same. As I said before, every referral that Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 make, are ALL YOUR REFERRALS TOO! You receive the same cut as everyone else does, so the guy at the top isn’t laughing all the way to the bank, but you are too.

HOW TO MARKET AND PERSUADE CUSTOMERS TO SIGN UP AND USE BIGCRUMBS

Marketing is easier to some than others. “To successfully market anything on the internet is to have successfully gained a customer’s trust.” Obviously this is easier said than done. Especially when considering that you cannot interact face to face with the customer. Therefore, the way you word your sentences, and how professionally appealing your company is, will affect how much a customer trusts you.

Marketing 101

The goal is to gain the customer’s trust or to give them enough incentive to where the risk is worth taking. First off, take advantage at the fact that you have friends! Tell them about how great BIG CRUMBS is (but without scaring them into it or encouraging them to sign up). Let them know what kind of savings (or possible savings) you make by purchasing through BIGCRUMBS. You can tell them about personal savings you’ve made and how much it can save them over time. Remember, the ‘purchaser’ makes the most cash back on the transaction. eBay Marketplace: -eBay is a great place to market. Whether you are simply buying from various sellers, or actually selling to various buyers. Here are a number of different things you should do.

FUTURE SELLERS:

a. Sign up for an eBay Store. In fact, the first 30 days are usually free (best to sign up at the very beginning of the month as they bill monthly).

b. Use auctions to either advertise your eBay store or become one of your referrals.

c. Include a “Take 35% off the eBay seller fees on this auction as well as all online purchases” link on all your auctions and store items.

d. Create a custom page in your eBay store that you can link customers to that explains how BIGCRUMBS works. That way, you can show them the diagram and try to gain their trust personally instead of simply trying to shoot them straight to BIGCRUMBS with your referring URL.

e. Show your customers (who sign up as you being the referral) how the program works without losing their attention or being too short. It’s also not good to be TOO pushy either. I recommend a custom page located in your eBay store that tells them everything they need to know.

f. Include incentives to sign up (links to the custom page) in all or a majority of the automated emails (i.e. auction ended, you have won email, order shipped, etc.)

g. Some can go as far as to offer free shipping for those who sign up for BIGCRUMBS and decide to pay using their new account (with you as the referral of course)

NOTE: I don’t believe this is allowed on the eBay Marketplace. Please be cautious when offering such incentives and be sure to check the “Terms” and “Marketplace Policy” as eBay tends to update their policies regularly.

PRESENT SELLERS:

h. Send your customers regular newsletters with links such as “Take 35% off”. I would recommend linking them directly to your Custom page instead of directly to BIGCRUMBS. The customer/end-user may take you more seriously and be more willing to give it a chance.

i. Include a “Take 35% off the eBay seller fees on this auction as well as all online purchases” link on all your auctions.

j. Show your customers (who sign up as you being the referral) how the program works without losing their attention or being too short. It’s also not good to be TOO pushy either. Again, I strongly recommend a custom page located in your eBay store that tells them everything they need to know.

k. Include incentives to sign up (links to the custom page) in all or a majority of the automated emails (i.e. auction ended, you have won email, order shipped, etc.) FUTURE/PRESENT BUYERS:

l. Include incentives for your seller to sign up, after all, they may end up promoting as well and bring you more referrals.

m. Actively contact sellers to let them know more about the program and how it could increase their auction sales.

n. Send out newsletters to email addresses that you obtain. Technically sending emails to email addresses obtained through eBay outside of the eBay website is prohibited.

Hi guys,

I'm constantly searching for ways to enhance my Ebay business - I came across this website called BigCrumbs.com. It caught my attention because it's a referral/shopping rebate site - so you get cash back when you shop, and you can use it as a referral program. In Ebay's case, they give the seller a referral credit and the buyer a rebate - that's a win win in my book.

They have over 200 other major retailers signed up - Wal Mart, Target, Best Buy, etc.

I'd like to solicit some comments about the service and how we can best use it in our Ebay business.

Looking forward to your comments!

-Kevin





Hello All,

I'm Vince, founder of BigCrumbs. From time to time I like to randomly Google about to check the buzz on our company.

I was doing just that when I ran across this brief thread and thought I'd add a couple of pennies.

We do get a lot of skepticism and it's understandable. Many think we're too good to be true. While that's about as good a compliment as a company can get, it also poses a challenge for obvious reasons.

I won't go into too much detail here, but I will try to quickly address the comments made above.

There is currently no way for a retailer to join and list products because we are focusing primarily on the nationally branded retailers (which extends our offering to a wider audience), and we do need to be concerned about quality. Also, as you might imagine, each retailer we add carries potential overhead, so we must be mindful of this and manage our growth. That said, we do have plans to bring growing retailers aboard in the future, once certain objectives have been met.

The retailers we have on board are all via affiliate relationships. Some have approached us and we have approached others. We are paid a marketing commission by these retailers when members make purchases through BigCrumbs. This is the source of revenue from which we pay referral commissions and cash back to members. It's truly a win for all involved.

We recently moved to PayPal payments after sending paper checks by postal mail. PayPal is much more efficient and cost-effective, and allows us to now pay members monthly instead of quarterly.

Also, we don't pay via the "standard" PayPal service that charges our members PayPal's standard fee to receive funds. Instead, *we* are charged for the payments we send. We do pass this through as a payment processing fee (we make no money on this), however, before sending members their payments.

The fee is 2% of your payment up to a maximum of $1 per payment. So, a $40 payment will have 80 cents deducted. A $500 payment (or more) would have $1 deducted. Again, you will NOT be charged again by PayPal. In short, it's extraordinarily reasonable.

It's really hard to lose here. Our members save cash and have a genuine opportunity to increase their income by referring others. It's all free and very simple.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post additional questions here or through the contact form on our site. We appreciate opportunities to clarify our program and always respond to inquiries in a timely fashion!

Thanks for your time,

Vince

I checked out the site and understand how it works and will try to explain.

As BigCrumbs said, the site is an affiliate marketing service that pays back some of the fees it earns to the people that use its service. Anyone can sign up to be an affiliate with these big retailers. BigCrumbs is just returning some of the money to consumers in the process. Affiliate marketing basically works like this: Cooking.com, for example, offers affiliates 7% on referred purchases. So when someone uses BigCrumbs to buy from Cooking.com, 7% of the money that they spend goes to BigCrumbs, what bigCrumbs does is give you 6.3% and they make 0.7%.

Does that make sense?

All told, the service is legit for consumers to use as long as BigCrumbs sends out payments. If you buy stuff online this is just a way to get a few percent off everytime.

toddo,

Thanks for the clarification. What you've said is pretty much spot on, with a couple of important exceptions:

The first is that in the example you provided, the 0.7% is actually reserved as the referral commission for the member who referred the purchasing member.

In other words, we allocate the entire base commission that we receive from our retailers to our members in the form of referral commissions and cash back. This is why our rates are so generous.

The second exception is with regard to the assertion that "anyone can sign up to be an affiliate with these big retailers". All retailers have guidelines and restrictions. Some are more "accepting" than others, but many factors can cause a retailer to decline working with a potential affiliate--including site quality, concept, execution, and more.

Finally, you're 100% right that our legitimacy is dependent upon whether we maintain our word (which includes paying our members). We are very aware that our survival depends on this (plus, we're pretty ok--ethically speaking). In short, we offer excellent customer service and we pay on time.

In fact, we just moved from quarterly to monthly payments in order to pay members even faster.

Thanks again for the clarification. We find that many people think we're too good to be true. Once they understand where the "free money" comes from, they realize that we are very real and offer an awesome service that is based on a sound business model.

I think it is a site similar to a few others i have seen out there and from what I can see they seem to appeal to a select type of person and not the broad majority. Awesome concept and I hope to see it succeed.

I'd like to add my two-cents. I'm an eBay seller and buyer and I have found Big Crumbs to be wonderful! As a buyer, of course, I'm enjoying my rebates, but as a seller it's very interesting. I refer my customers to BigCrumbs to sign up before purchasing from me. I not only make my sale, but I get a commission on that sale and they get a rebate too. It's certainly a win-win situation all around.

Also, if you sign up using my referral, I would be happy to send you the wording from my BigCrumb marketing emails I send to my past customers and my past sellers for you to use. They have been pretty successful. Just send me a message and I'll get that over to you.

Good luck!

Lisa


i think bigcrumbs is great. i've been getting a lot of new referrals and offer customers a freebie for signing up under me- free shipipping, lowend game
used card, etc. has worked wonders and love watching it grow.

I've been using BigCrumbs.com for a while now and it's wonderful!
A great way to earn a little extra each month!

Cooldealsnow
First off, let me say BigCrumbs is great -- they credit me quickly and I've made almost $15 in my first month, just promoting to my Ebay customers. This is great!

Someone asked if Ebay lets you add a link in your auctions. Unfortuanately they don't and they've even cancelled an auction when I tried it. However, I get most of my signups by people reading about Bigcrumbs in my email singature file when I send invoices, follow-up emails, thank-yous, etc.

I also offer people an incentive for signing up under me and using Bigcrumbs. When I see someone under me has a lot of referrals, I through some of my new referrals into their account, to help them make more money. I figure this is win-win for both of us since it encourages them to be more active on BC.


hellojimmy
BigCrumbs is the greatest thing to have happen since mypoints. I have made
$80 so far. You can't lose with BC. There is no point in being a skeptic on
this one. I use BC alot when ordering from drugstore.com too and its
awesome. I'll get like $6 back on a $100 order as a crumbearner so imagine
as a crumbsaver. It's sweet.
Check it out.
