I have gotten 30 referrals since becoming a member since 2012.The first 25 from 2012-2017 aside from getting their sign-up i think only 1 cashed out where i got the $5.I didnt work FC for a few yrs in that time frame.I started working it again from 2017 till present and got 5 referrals.1 recently cashed out for me to get $5 bonus.I hope they stay active.I still try to get them but dont go crazy.I have a few free methods to advertise.I havent found anything to spend serious money on and feel the return would not be worth it until i knew it gave results.

What kind of free methods?  I would never pay for a referral. And it actually says on this site that if you get caught doing that your account will be closed.

I know there are sites where it is like an exchange.  You join my site and I will join yours.  But if you are not going to be active then you are basically worthless as a referral.  I would not do that either.

I am sure people have joined because of my link they just didn't USE my link.  The one I have on Twitter has been clicked on almost 1500 times.  I have 2 referrals that I do not know where came from.  But all they done was signed up.  Did not even do the first offer.  OR anything.
Free as in surfing traffic exchanges.If u dont wanna surf you can pay to get credits to have your sites seen.I have actually done that in the past,but i try to avoid it cos i dont see the return that profitable.

Now if i had a "Cant miss"program"that many were joining i might consider spending to get the credits to advertise.I dont consider FC that way.I think its a nice program but not to spend a lot to advertise it thats why i prefer to surf to get the credits instead of paying for them.

So basically what I said, you join my site and I join yours.  I had a friend I sent her a link to join a site I use to do and she wanted me to join hers. She would not join mine until after I joined hers.  SMH.  And she was a worthless referral.

An interesting thing happens to me every time I send a comment on a Youtube video or a money earning blog page. 

I usually start be saying something commendable, like thank you for the information, or nice video, nice blog page, whatever, I just try to say something positive.

Then I kindly ask if their earnings are of their own efforts or do they have a downline of referrals?

This is where it gets interesting.  When I ask, I get no reply, nada, zip, zilch.  Are you surprised?  No?  Neither am I.

Now if I had a question about one of the earning options, or the link to sign up or anything like that, then I hear from them. 

Isn't that interesting?  Not really.  :bad:
Bet i would think most dont wanna reveal their ways of getting referrals if it has done well for them.I guess i can see their point.Hard enuff to get them on your own,why share your success when it might take some away from you.
I totally understand that.  If the shoe were on the other foot, I would not reveal exact details.  I would, however, share my method of success. 

All I was looking for with my questions was a simple yes, the majority of my earnings come from referrals.  At that point I would go no further and ask no more questions out of respect. 

Some of my earning sites are by invitation only.  My monthly earnings are low because I don't have the referrals.  When I see a screenshot from another member with considerable higher numbers, all I want to know is whether it's because of referrals or am I missing something in my own efforts to earn. 

Nobody will answer that.  Because then you know YOU are not going to make money like they post that they make.  Even people on here have avoided that question. lol.  I have made a whopping $10 from referrals on THIS site.  $8 from one referral and $1 each from 2 others.

I will be glad to answer it, yes most of the money I have earned here came from referrals and bonuses, but I am not going to take the time to total up how much from each type of referral or bonus. I also don't keep it a secret how I do it if you simply go over the last 10 years worth of posts I have made on this forum.

I used to do referrals when I first started but no one is interested, I think it is something you have to discover on your own and I know what you are saying about the money that is very misleading

Actually, it would not matter to me at all if my totals were less.  Before I found the earning sites I work every day, I was looking for legitimate ways to make a few bucks a month. 

I would never interrogate anyone who is trying to run a business.  But if I am ignored, then I will never be a part of their downline. 

People have lost me as a referral before I was ever on their team.

LOL.  I also know when I google your name you come up as being one of the biggest scam artists on the internet.  A while back you stated to "google your name" to see how you make money online. 

I guess whatever works for you.  I do have my own website.  I have links to all the sites that I do as well.  I state multiple times that you will not be able to earn a living from survey sites.  That I have a real job.  I am honest about how much money I have made.  And I am honest about how much you can expect to earn and that you have to put in a real effort to make money.  Maybe I need to lie.  Maybe that would get me more referrals.

Having referrals is fine.  It is only wrong when you lie to people to get them to sign up under your link.  I remember (something else I do) and people posting "sign up under MY link to get $10".  I called them out as well.  Signing up got you a $10 bonus.  You did not need to use anyone's link.  And for everyone who used the link the person who owned the link got $5 I think.  They didn't share that info.
