What is the Elance Referral Program?

Refer your friends to Elance and you may make $50 for each referral.

We hope you are happy with the Elance service and find it useful. Now, when you tell your friends and colleagues about Elance, and they end up spending or earning $1,000 (within 12 months), we will deposit $50 in your account automatically.

You can send your friends and colleagues a referral by navigating to the MyElance tab and clicking the 'Referral Program' link on the left panel.

How It Works

Tell your friends about Elance, and we pay you when they join and spend money as a buyer or earn cash as a provider.

Every Elance member has a unique code, referred to as an RID or referral identification code, assigned to their Elance account, and all referrals are tracked through this system. 

What You Earn

You earn $50 for every qualified referral*.  Just use the unique RID code assigned to your Elance account to refer friends to Elance, and we'll deposit $50 into your Elance Account.  The more friends you tell about Elance, the more the cash can add up!

*A qualified referral is a new Elance member you sent to Elance that spends or earns at least $1,000 within 12 months of your referral.
