Referral Bonus tab – Explained

This tab is used to either sign up for the ARC reviewer referral program and get your referral link that you can use to send to new readers, or track the referrals you’ve already sent and their progress to earning you money.  Before using this program, please be sure to carefully read over the rules and how it works.

To Sign Up

If you haven’t already joined the program, simple click the Generate My Referral Link button found on this tab. By doing so, you agree to the terms, conditions and rules of the program, and a new referral link will be generated for you. Only referrals (new ARC readers to our program) that use your link will count towards your referrals, so make sure to copy it exactly.

Already Signed Up?

Once you’ve generated your referral link, you can always find it on this page, along with a Copy button you can use to copy the link to your clipboard for easier sharing.

On this tab, you will also see your referral stats which include:

  • Number of new ARC readers that signed up to Hidden Gems using your referral link
  • Number of those readers that were sent at least 1 book
  • Number of people that have left at least 1 Amazon review for a book they were sent
  • Number of people that have left at least 1 non-Amazon review for a book they were sent
  • Your referral Bonus Pending (money you’ve earned but has not been paid to you yet)
  • Your referral Bonus Already Paid (money we’ve already paid you for your referrals)

Remember that the ONLY PAYMENT METHOD we use is Paypal, so if you do not have a Paypal account that can accept payments, we cannot send you any money.

To get paid, you can click the Request Payment button which becomes available once you’ve earned at least $10 in referral fees.
