There are many ways for Kenyans to make money online in Kenya 2020 and one of them is by referring products or services that you have used and loved to your friends and family.
This is what is commonly called pay per referral or affiliate marketing.
And there is quite a number that pay really well!
So without much further ado, lets check out these sites that pay Kenyans to refer others:

My favorite site that pays Kenyans to refer friends is Payoneer’s Refer a friend program.
With Payoneer, you are free to refer as many friends as you can and earn $25 free for each friend you refer that signs up to Payoneer and receives at least $1000 (or the equivalent in other currency) in payments on their Payoneer card.
The best part is that both you and your friend receive the $25 referral bonus!
Payoneer Prepaid debit card is a physical card which enables you as a to get paid by market places (e.g. Upwork, Fiverr, Amazon, 99 Designs, AirBnB, etc.) as well as direct clients worldwide. Payoneer also enables you to associate your card with any currency balance in your Payoneer account.
Once you have topped or loaded your Payonneer debit card with money, you can use it online, at ATMs, in shops, and everywhere else in the world where Mastercard is accepted.
To get started, simply log in to your Payoneer account. or if you haven’t registered, sign up to access your personalized link which enables you to spread the word through Whatsapp, Instagram, your blog, YouTube channel, LinkedIn, articles, emails, Facebook posts, tweets, etc.

Register for Uber (use this link to get Kshs.1,000 off your first ride) both as a rider and as a driver.
With Uber, you earn free ride credits by inviting others to sign up using your invite code and ride with Uber.
Once your friend signs up using your invite code and rides with Uber, they get a discounted first ride, and your next ride in any city that shares your signup city’s national currency is discounted too.

Wow! That’s a clean KES 250,000 just like that if you recruit 25 new hosts.

So if you don’t have extra room to rent out but looking to make some money, you can sign up as a potential guest and use your referral link to invite your friends to stay in AirBnB accommodation too.
Another pay per referral site that pays Kenyans to refer others is Booking.com, my best hotel booking services in Kenya.
