[consulting] Referral Fees?

[Marc Elliott Levy]

Hi,
Is it common to ask for referral fees when pointing someone to a qualified
developer? I referred someone today without having set up any kind of
referral fee system. If it matters, I previously hired this person myself
as a consultant for some more advanced work than I was prepared to do at
that time. Should I have set up a referral system, or is etiquette within
the community to just give business to people and hope they give some back
to you? Or both?

I am a Washington, DC-based developer myself. I lean towards site building
over module coding. I'm new to the business side of Drupal. Just trying to
understand: What are the norms here?

Thanks in advance for your input,

Marc
