Making Money with Credit Cards Instead of Spending Money By Tim Phelan

Is it possible to actually make money with credit cards instead of just using them to spend money? Well, of course for the large credit card companies and banks. But how about for the average person? Is it really possible for the average person to make money in the credit card industry?

The answer is clear. Absolutely.

Here is how it works. Large companies in all sorts of industries are willing to pay a good amount of money for leads. Insurance companies will pay website owners and others a good amount of money to provide leads for people interested in buying life, car or home insurance. Mortgage companies are willing to pay excellent amounts of money per lead for people looking to buy homes or refinancing existing loans. There are a endless amount of industries looking to pay for good quality leads and there are people and companies who are making millions selling them. The lead business is a multi billion dollar industry in itself.

Now, the average person, no matter what their income level is, has a chance to get in on making money from leads.

Especially from credit cards!

Why especially? Because it is so easy to do it is almost hard to believe. The credit card companies and the banks give away free credit cards as you all know. This is common knowledge. However what isn't known so well is the fact that others can refer people to a certain credit card company and that person will get paid for just having that person get a free credit card. Even if they don't use it. It is considered a lead for the credit card company. The best kind of lead because the potential customer will have that credit card in hand and can use it at any time.

Because this is such a good "lead" for the credit card companies they are willing to pay a significant amount to the referring person. Right now the average referral amount someone gets is around $35 and it can be as high as $55! Yes, you can make $55 for having someone get a free credit card even if that person doesn't use it. But the credit card companies know what they are doing and realize that most of these "leads" will eventually use the cards and they will make a profit. There is so much competition among these companies they are will to pay us terrific amounts.

Lucky us.

There are different ways to take advantage of this terrific opportunity.

1. Have a website of your own with a selection of many different credit card offers.

Here is a website that I have for this purpose;

www.usacreditcarddirectory.com

With my website I am able to offer over 60 different high quality credit cards to people with many different qualities. It is a credit card directory and it gives the customer one place to compare the options available.

For a very reasonable price you can have your own website with the same selection as mine. Then it is your responsibility to advertise the site and get people to it so you can have people get the credit cards for free. The website comes with help to do this though in the form of a forum, videos and articles on how to make your website work. The potential here for making huge amounts of money from creating leads for the credit card companies is very real. The advantage for having your own domain name and website is that you can get the search engines to send people to your site and that is free traffic and sales. Once you get it going it can go on and on. While you sit back and watch your bank account increase.

2.For someone who doesn't want to spend the money to get their own website there are other ways and this is the best I have found for making significant amounts from providing credit card leads. It doesn't cost a dime to start this business and you start out by getting your own free credit card.

In short, what you need to do is simply refer people to your free affiliate website like this and have them sign up to do the same thing as you, become a free affiliate and get a free credit card. Every time you get someone to do those two simple tasks you will make $10. Now because this is a network marketing company you will also make $2 for every person that your referral gets to sign up and get a free credit card. This actually goes down 10 levels deep. Does that sound easy enough? Just have people get free credit cards and then have them do the same thing. Easy.

This is how you can make money with credit cards instead of spending with them. Try it out. It is more enjoyable this way.
