Background:
My family member has run his own business now for 15 years. It's an internet-based website so it's entirely online. The business is in the travel industry, mostly helping professionals who happen to travel all around the U.S. and the world, find work. I'm thinking that many of the members of the site would benefit from travel hacking credit card rewards benefits (I'm sure a lot of them already do this), since in their industry many times they put expenses on their own card and then are reimbursed by their employers.
Question:
How do blogs/websites make money when they refer somebody to a certain credit card? Wondering if any of you business/website owners have used this before. Just like MMM himself has a credit card section (
https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/credit-cards/), and then he gets some fee/revenue when somebody decides to sign up for a card he recommends. I'm pretty new to all this so if anybody has any basic information on getting started with this, that'd be great!
I'm guessing many of the users of his site would benefit from proper travel hacking, as long as we do a good write up of the basics (like being out of debt first, paying off the card each month, etc).
