What makes a good referral? It’s imperative to know the answer if you want to help your friends, especially if you want to make money while doing it. Helping friends is fun. Connecting others allows great things to happen that wouldn’t have otherwise. We all want to connect providers and seekers to each other. If there’s a referral bonus or affiliate commission for doing it, then that’s even better!
