Many of you know that last year I made the jump out of my traditional health insurance program into a Christian alternative known as Christian medical sharing.  After being a member of one of these programs for a few months, I learned that they had a referral program (AKA affiliate program).  They pay me $100 every time I refer someone to their program.  I can collect my $100 referral fee as a Pay Pal payment or as a Visa gift card.   

What Is An Affiliate Program?

Affiliate programs are popular ways for those with websites or blogs to earn money from their visitors. There are a wide variety of these programs available, including through Amazon.com and other major online retailers.  The really nice feature of most affiliate programs (including the one outlined in this article) is that you are not responsible for the delivery of the product or service. Traditional affiliate programs involve the marketer (you) simply sending traffic to the end provider.  This means that you don't have to deal with issues such as customer service, shipping, refunds, etc...  This is why affiliate marketing is perhaps the best home based/part time business opportunity out there.

There Are Millions That Want Out Of Obamacare

Since there is so much negative media right now about Obamacare, the website debacle, skyrocketing rates, etc... this opportunity could not be easier.  In a nutshell, Christians are allowed to opt out of Obamacare without being subject to a fine (but most don't know this).   The timing is perfect, as the fines for Obamacare begin in 2014.  Christian medical sharing is a great and inexpensive alternative to Obamacare and other traditional health insurance options.  

Get Your Christian Medical Sharing For Free

For most families, if you just refer three new members per month, you would cover the cost of your own plan.  How many Christians do you know that probably don't even know about this option?  A college student can join Christian medical sharing for just over $100 per month; that means just one referral per month will pay most of their monthly membership.

"When Christians tell other Christians about the Medi-Share program, it gives us the chance to serve more families and allows new members to experience the prayers and support of a Christian community. The referral program is our way of saying thank you to those who choose to spread this message," said Tony Meggs, president and CEO of Christian Care Ministry, which operates Medi-Share. 

How To Get Started

You don't need a website or blog to be able to start earning referral bonuses, you just need a referral link.  If you don't have a website of your own, you can use your referral link on your Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts. You can also include your link in an e mail as well.  You don't need to be a member yourself of Christian medical sharing to be able to promote the referral program.  Here is a link that you can use to sign up for free to start earning $100 referral bonuses.  If you want to start by joining Christian medical sharing yourself (you won't earn a referral from your own sign up), you can join through my affiliate link (and I will be grateful to earn the $100 referral on your sign up).
