Need extra cash? We can help!

When you join the Third River team as either a basic limited-access member (free) or a paid full-access member (check out our membership club), you are automatically qualified to start promoting our products and services to your friends and business associates and create multiple streams of income.  When somebody you refer visits our web site and makes a purchase, you earn cash.

Our affiliate income opportunity is a two-tier program, meaning that everybody you personally refer is on your 1st tier, and everybody that they refer is on your 2nd tier (people on your 1st tier must join as a Third River team member to enable the tracking of referrals to a 2nd tier).  However, not all of our products and services offer a 2 tier payout. 

Here are some ways you can start earning cash today;

Promote our small business membership training club:

When somebody you refer joins our paid membership club, you earn cash every single month as long as they are a paid member.  What a great way to create residual income! You earn 35% of the monthly membership fee for every person you personally refer, and 15% for anybody that they refer.

Use the "Invite Others To Join" tab to send an email to your friends.  Your specially coded affiliate link is already included in the email, so it is really easy to send out invitations.

Or, send out an email with the following affiliate link:

Sell your own electronic products: 

If you have high quality electronic products, we can work with you to sell them on our site and through our affiliate members.  This opportunity will grow over time as more and more members join our program.  Our system allows us to set up and manage all the details, accept payments, and track how much we owe you.  Even if you are selling through your own web site, this can bring additional sales for you.  If you are interested, contact us today.

How do we pay?

We pay our affiliates on the 15th of the following month via paypal.  You must have a paypal account to get paid.

Can I use a shorter affiliate link?

These links are what our system needs in order to track the money we owe you.  However, you can use a service such as TinyURL to shorten the long affiliate link we use to something more manageable.

Other opportunities:

Affinity / Network marketing programs:  We love the leverage of the network marketing concept, and promote a company that is 1) great for businesses 2) doesn't require inventory 3) you can sell from your seat, 4) is NOT overpriced, and 5) makes people feel good every time you use the product.  What is it?  Check it out here (The Third River offers this service as independent representatives)
