online businesses too. In this referral program, on signing up, the customer gets a

special tracking number id or you can call it as a referral id. When another

customer sign up through the previous customer's ID, it is that previous

customer who receives a reward in terms of money. By this way the users earn

part time money and above all more users or customers are generated through
