How to Make up to $250 a Year on Usell Without Selling Anything

The Company That Pays You & Your Friends

The site I am talking about is Usell; the relatively new, yet very popular electronics buy back site that I reviewed a while back.

You’ve probably seen their ads on TV claiming you can get fast cash for your used phone (be it iPhone or Android), laptops, iPad, video games and much more.

That’s all true. But what you may not know is that Usell has a fantastic referral program where they reward both you and the person who you refer to the site.

Let’s say you refer your best friend to the site; not only do you get $10 for bringing in a new user, your friend will also get $5 just for signing up under you.

How the Program Works

To participate in the program, you need to visit http://refer.usell.com and simply follow the on-screen instructions to refer your friends, family members or colleagues. You will have to enter their name and email address in the box and hit “Send Email”.

After you refer one person, you will then be given your own unique referral link that you can use to refer people to Usell.

You can send this link via email to your friends and family members, post it on your social media account, or put it up on your blog if you have one.

You will also be given a unique “Refer-a-Friend” page where you can keep track and view the status of your referrals.

Do I Have to Purchase or Sell Anything to Participate?

No, thankfully you don’t have to actually buy or sell anything on the site to get paid for referring your friends.

That said, you must register with the site, which is free by the way.

You also must be:

1. a legal resident of the United States of America,
2.  and at least 18 years old.

Restrictions Apply

Of course, like most anything else in today’ world, there are some restrictions.

But don’t worry, these are just a few rules in place to keep the spammers at bay in order to keep the program from being abused.

The main two things you need to know are:

1. You may refer a maximum of twenty-five friends, family members or colleagues, yearly. So you can earn up to $250 a year!
2. You obviously can’t refer yourself by creating multiple fake accounts. If found guilty, your account will be banned and all earnings forfeited.

How Do I Get Paid?

Here is the deal breaker for some people; that $10 or $5 you get (depending on whether you’re a referrer or a referred customer) isn’t paid to you in the form of cash. Rather it’s a $10 credit to your Usell account that you can use to buy anything on the site (gift cards, phones, etc).

I know for some people this isn’t worth it. But if you are already using the site to buy and sell used phones and other electronics, or are planning to do so, that’s an extra $250 a year that you can use to pay for whatever you want to buy on Usell.

Not to mention, this is an extremely easy way to make that money. I mean, all you have to do is send an email to your friends and family members. It literally takes less than 30 minutes to send an email to 40-50 friends.

25 Sign up, you got an extra $250!

And for that reason, I think it’s worth a shot.
