Frequently asked questions

Random Income connects the dots between brand partners — businesses with great offers — and Strategic Partners: professionals who already have jobs, income and networks. Partners introduce people who could use an offer; Random Income and the brand partner do the selling and delivery; the partner earns a commission.

Every industry is a geek away from being uberized, and the future is built on unique people and unique data. Random Income is the unique-people half; R0cketShip and the predictivedata.org stack are the unique-data half.

High-caliber professionals who already earn well and have relationships — consultants, fractional executives, CPAs, wealth advisors, association leaders, coaches, podcast hosts, LinkedIn creators and sales leaders — who want random income on the side without a second job.

No. Strategic Partners are 1099 independent contractors — never employees and never W-2. You choose when and whether to refer anyone. To be paid you upload a photo ID and a signed W-9, and Random Income issues a 1099-NEC.

You refer; we do the rest. Share your link or tech-stack page, or load a referral in your back office. Random Income follows up, sells and delivers, and every click, form and quote request is tracked back to you.

Take the matching test — pick the traits that describe you and the hours you have each week — then create your account. Our matching engine shows the opportunity that fits you best and your full stack of opportunities.

No. Joining is free, and every Strategic Partner also receives a free contacts.plus upgrade as a thank-you for being part of Random Income.

On our stack: 20% of each payment we collect when the client buys entirely online without help, and 12% when an in-house Random Income rep has to work the deal. If we negotiate the price, the commission follows the negotiated price, never below the redline floor. On offers posted by businesses, partners receive 50% of what the business pays Random Income.

On R0cketShip's Fast Start ($32,500 a month) and Joint Venture ($18,200 a month) programs, a partner's percentage applies only to the monthly SaaS fee actually collected — no equity, no success-fee commission and no other upside. Investor-funded (OPM) deals pay a one-time $5,000 referral fee.

On the 21st of the month following the month Random Income was paid, once your payable balance is at least $500. Payouts go by PayPal, Stripe or manual transfer after your ID and W-9 are on file.

Yes. Anyone with more than 10 sales in a year that create more than $45,000 in payouts to them qualifies for a company car — Random Income pays a one-year lease. The same bar qualifies you for the annual Caribbean development trip. Both are discretionary incentives; your back office shows your progress.

Every link you share carries your partner code. Clicks, form fills and quote requests on your tech-stack page are recorded against you, and where a product has its own checkout the order is attributed to you automatically; otherwise our team marks the sale in the back office.

Post your opportunity: company, offer, description, average price, what you will pay per sale and your tracking or affiliate link. On agreement we place it in our stack, matching engine and emails and match it to partners who fit. You pay Random Income; Random Income pays the partner.

Premium is $4,500 a month on top of your per-sale payouts. It includes top position in your niche, top position in outreach where available, and a free contacts.plus business account valued at $1,500 a month.

You pay only when a sale happens, and the people introducing you already have trust with their networks. Random Income handles recruiting, matching, tracking and payouts, so a business can add a sales channel at a fraction of the cost of a salaried team.

Sponsors post job, side-hustle or income listings — their product, the commission they pay and how they pay Random Income — and Strategic Partners earn 50% of what the sponsor pays us. Advertisers pay one fee to be listed in the advertisers footer on every page, with top spots ranked by the amount paid.

The Big Idea at jeff-cline.com/idea asks whether a business qualifies for up to $444,000 in technology investment — technology, services and stack, not cash. It is always open, and Strategic Partners can introduce it to the founders and owners they know.

A side hustle stack is several small income streams run alongside a main career, chosen so they reinforce each other. With Random Income your stack is a set of products you can introduce to the same network, tracked in one back office.

Our view that, with AI and the right partners, a couple of focused hours a week spent connecting the right people can produce real income — because the selling, delivery and follow-up are handled by the businesses and Random Income, not by you.
