Ways of affiliate sites paying cashback to users


What is cashback?

If you are new to earning cashback, here’s a quick introduction. To understand cashback, you first need to know about the basics of affiliate marketing.

In affiliate marketing, when a website refers a customer to buy something from a particular online retailer (one with an affiliate scheme), the online retailer gives a percentage of the sale value back to the website who made the successful referral.

The cashback process essentially allows you, the customer, to claw back some (or all) of this referral money. Many people new to cashback say it sounds too good to be true, but once you know how it works, you’ll know it is true.

You can earn your cashback through specific cashback sites like rewardsinn and also through some energy price comparison and switching sites.

You can use a designated cashback site to earn back some of your spend pretty much every time you shop online for most of the items you buy, and the basic process is always the same. Here’s how it works:

1) First of all you register with the cashback site as a user, and then you can go off and search for   things to buy online.
2) Once you’ve found something you want to buy, go back to the cashback site and log in, then search the cashback site for the retailer you want.
3) Click through to the retailer’s page via the cashback site, using any discount codes the cashback site offers along the way, and then shop as normal on the retailer’s site.
4) Later, your cashback should arrive from the retailer, via the cashback site, and you can then choose how you’d like to be paid (for example BACS, PayPal or shopping vouchers or mobile recharges).
There are a few things that you need to know:

For starters, cashback works by tracking cookies in your browser, so you always need to clear your cookies just before you shop to make it track properly, or the retailer might refuse to pay the cashback.
If a purchase does fail to track, most websites allow you to raise a claim.
Not every retailer offers cashback.
Many retailers pay cashback by using different affiliate networks which act as middlemen. These networks in turn pay the cashback sites. Some networks are more efficient than others, so their rates of payment may vary.
It can take a few weeks for cashback to be received and paid out to you.
Cashback sites regularly have promotions where cashback rates are temporarily increased, or other offers are combined with the cashback. Some of them also provide coupons, which when applied in the cashback site provides some instant cashback to the user, as part of their promotion marketing.

Cashback Payment to users:

Cashback sites employ various methods to pay the user.
1. Transfer to user bank account: Cashback site transfers the cashback money to the bank account provided by the user.
2. Transfer to Paypal account: Cashback site transfers the cashback money to the Paypal account of the user.
3. Mobile Recharges: Cashback site recharges the mobile number provided by the user.
4. Gift Vouchers: In this, gift vouchers will be provided to the users.
5. Order Placing: Cashback site places online order on behalf of the user at his request.

Making money with Rewardsinn

My favourite cashback provider is Rewardsinn. They provide maximum % of cashback when compared with other cashback sites. In addition to this, I’ve found them to be the best at tracking purchases efficiently, and speedy with their payouts.

Unlike some other sites, there is no joining fee and they provide Rs. 20 cashback for signing up. They don’t take back any of your earnings in annual fees either. They have a huge range of top retailers listed on their site (over 60 at the last count) and regular special offers, covering just about every shopping eventuality.
