How Can I Get Paid?

Knowing the difficulty and cost of chasing we think you should be rewarded for your steaming efforts. Therefore we have decided to give away 50% of the ad revenue generated on the site to registered chasers.

• Your revenue will be based on how many unique clicks you recieve on the map. Each click is a referral point.
• When you register as a full time chaser on TorndaoChasersLive.com you are given a url to share. Such as: "TorndaoChasersLive.com?chaser=Brand+Johnson".
• Paste this url within your YouTube description, social networks or with anyone you can. Each time someone clicks on your link you are given a referral point.
• Based on the amount of referral points you have collected, you will be given a cut of the ad revenue generated by the site.
• This is a win win situation as you provide traffic to the site and we both get paid more.
• Knowing the site is just starting out revune might just be a couple dollars. At the moment we are using Google AdSense, but in a year or so Ad revenue could increase significanly based on traffic.
• When you register you must provide a PayPal account. This is how you will get paid. We are also looking to add a donation button to your live stream.

(Note: As soon as we get more then 5 registered users collecting referral points then we can hand out payments. So head over to the Chaser Portal and register now!)
