Two publishers in Pakistan documented their pay-per-call results this month, including the days that earned nothing. The network is paying for the transparency, not the revenue.
MUNDELEIN, Ill. - illiNews -- Lead Smart Inc, a US pay-per-call and lead-generation affiliate network specialising in home services, is paying a $500 bonus to Muhammad Bilal, an affiliate publisher based in Pakistan, for publishing a complete and unflattering account of what his lead-generation websites earned.
Bilal reported 124 inbound phone calls between 1 and 20 July 2026, of which 39 were completed and 15 converted into paying jobs, producing $1,066.90. He generated the calls from local service websites ranked in Google, with no paid advertising and no outreach, while working full time on unrelated client projects.
He also published the variance most income reports omit. Some days brought 14 calls, some brought one. Some orders were worth $130, some $7. Some days converted nothing.

"A million-dollar breakthrough, passive income from doing nothing, a get-rich-quick story, money from selling courses" is what he wrote the figure is not. What it is, he said, is "real revenue from real ranked websites" earned while his hours went elsewhere: "This is not the money. This is the freedom."
A second Pakistan-based publisher, Muhammad Shahzad, documented a build that went from domain registration to inbound calls and converted leads in ten days, for the cost of the domain alone.
"One of my proudest achievements in building Lead Smart with Seth Pikus is helping talented people in countries like Pakistan earn U.S. dollars from home," said Matthew Zivkovic, founder of Lead Smart Inc. "A U.S. dollar goes so much further there. It can dramatically improve the lives of them and their families while helping American businesses grow. Every success story creates a ripple effect that reaches families and communities."

Zivkovic said the bonus rewards disclosure rather than performance. "We would rather publish a modest number with the bad days attached than a screenshot with no context. Publishers can only price a decision they can see."
Lead Smart has paid more than $50 million to its affiliate publishers, works with more than 10,000 registered publishers worldwide, and publishes minimum expected payouts across 417,983 ZIP-code and service combinations in 27 verticals. Founded in 2008, it is led by Chief Executive Officer Seth Pikus.
