I would be more than happy to give someone tips on how to get started.  Although it isn't that hard. :D
I have one referral that I know personally.  And she has not done anything in probably close to a year.  Hasn't spoke to me in several months lol. But the others I don't know at all.  If I did I would give them some encouragement.  It is not that hard to reach cash out every month.  Every other month is pretty doable for about anyone.


I agree 100%. I would love to communicate more with my referrals and give a more detailed personal testimonial (beyond what I posted with my link that encouraged them to sign up in the first place). But they have to opt in to accept emails from us - and very few of them do that.


Those that do, I have periodically sent out what I believe to be non-obtrusive encouraging emails. I try to give them a personal touch and not sound like spam/scam. I've never gotten any response and I haven't seen any activity from those users.


It really is too bad for them and too bad for me.  :'(  But I just keep at it and keep earning my credit each month.

True. Sometimes I wonder if people sign up to get the account and then are one of these people who can get hundreds of referrals and they just cash out every month on the referral money. lol I know a man who has a newsletter and he was over 100,000 followers.  If he posted a link to this site with HIS personal link he would never have to do anything other than cash out his hundreds that he got from the $5 referral bonuses.

And he has posted several links like this site on his personal website and in his newsletters. He does really well because he was able to quit his job and running his website and newsletter is his job now.  He also gets paid from ads that run on his site.  He is well liked so people trust his site and the ads.

Sometimes I also think people get confused and think that money is coming out of the money they earn. Like it will cost them something.

I don't get rich but I do okay on these sites and can give some pretty good tips on how to increase your earnings.

People think it's easy and quick money when they join but never realize the time and effort it takes. They lose interest quickly.

I totally feel it is worth it.  I have made quite a bit of money here and been invited to several focus groups thru surveys on this site that pay $35 at the least with one paying $100 for an hour of my time.  And I think a whopping $10 have come from referrals.  So it has all been me. lol.  I have also received several product trials thru surveys on this site.

I am a member of another site where you can send messages to your referrals but just on that site so they don't have to even look at it.

I had one the other day act all interested and she know it is for real but I never heard anything else from her. She doesn't work and needs money and I thought she may want to sign up for some of these sites I do. But she doesn't have much drive so she probably wouldn't do anything either beyond sign up.  She would expect to sign up and just wait for money to roll in. People don't understand there is effort to be put in.  I spent quite a few hours yesterday fooling with this stupid stuff and made less than $2.

I've been on here for over a year and never did a referral, don't really have anyone to refer, so I just don't want to waste  my time and theirs.

I think some people are afraid this site may be too good to be true or they simply end up finding other work. Others may be disappointed it's not more of a money maker. So there's that too. Me, personally, I know I won't get rich here, but the extra cash has been useful. So I stick around and like FC's honesty about their offers.

I have several referrals who have not done a thing.  Do not know why.

I can't answer that question because my friends etc thinks it is big laugh.  They say they are too busy doing something else that is more profitable for them.  I can't blame them.

I have invited people that need the extra change and they haven't even bothered to sign up.  You just keep at and make as much money as you can with the other offers from fusion.

I don't do referrals but sites I have joined as a referral for someone else is lucky to have me because I earn every day that I can which is pretty much every day.  I don't get it.   :moneymouth:

I have had referrals do that also, I often think they either just conclude that it's not worth the time or are having issues that prevent them from giving it any effort.

I barely do because I don't put effort into recruiting offline and the main site I use to place banners to recruit online has gone down.

I haven't because I haven't done any referrals.
