The points and miles blog business model
Sprinting through ORD yesterday, I saw the usual contingent of somewhat-sketchy-looking people huckstering the United Chase credit cards. It got me wondering: do those folks work for wages or commissions on each sign-up? And if the latter, can they really make a living at it?
Which brought me round to the subject of this thread: I wonder if anyone knows and is willing to share the 'business plan' of a points and miles blog?
What are the various sources of income for a points and miles blog? How much per source? What are the expenses?
I know a few folks (in addition to Randy) have made serving points and miles hoarders their full-time job...what does that look like on an Income Statement?
