Title: people signing up with no referral
Post by: mjdoug03 on September 17, 2010, 07:19:03 pm
Does anyone know what happens to people who sign up without a referral?  Are they divided up somehow?  Other sites I've used have divided them up between "premium" members or some other kind of distinction.  If FC doesn't do that, then they should!  I would be willing to pay a few extra bucks a month to get people who signed up with no referral.

I agree.

Or having a contest to win referrals would be nice.

We choose not to have paid levels of membership, and we also choose not to divvy up unreferred users.  The reason is that someone always loses - either you, or FC.  I'll explain: lets say you had to pay $20/mo for a "premium" membership.  Each month you would either get enough referrals to make back the $20, in which case FC loses money; or you wouldn't get enough bonuses to break even, in which case YOU lose money.  Then, we get the added headache of collecting payments and the inevitable fraud that comes from it.

I don't like the idea of membership. If there was a way at least that fusion cash wouldn't loose money by "divvying" up unreferred users, that would be so nice.

Being able to win referrals in contests or as bonuses would be very nice...Paying or renting is a BIG hassle causing more headaches then anything.

The occasional free referral promo would be nice. Perhaps a monthly contest of some sort.

I agree with you.

And if you think about it, these people who joined unreferred could have been referred by members. And if they were, FC would have to credit the members for that. I don't really see any potential loss for FC if it pays at least half the regular amount some way or another ( promotion contest or just random members).

I signed up without a a referral because I found Fusion Cash and I plan to tell other about it after I have cashed out my first time.  :thumbsup:

I agree I don't think there should be a membership fee.  This would cause added expense to FC.  But, I don't see how letting members win the random referrals in contest would add any fees.  If they had been a referred member, you would be paying but since they are not FC is just saving money.  A random referral contest would cause some great excitement around FC.

I have been attempting to get referrals without success.  I have business cards printed that I hand out but I don't have any luck.  How are you guys doing it?  I have the banners on the bottome of emails that don't generate anything either.

What's the recipe for success with referrals?

I agree. A paid membership would not be good. Fusion Cash stands out from the rest because they approve offers, and offer multiple ways of earning not to mention they seem to actually care about our feedback. I have not gotten any referrals yet so can't really speak on that but I can say it would be twice as hard to get referrals if everyone had to pay a monthly membership. I personally have gotten sign ups in other online businesses and can say from that advertising experience I had to put multiple advertising methods together and consistently to get sign ups. I know if we all just keep spreading the word about FC those sign ups will come for everyone.

I think no one gets anything.
BUT I do think that people who do sign up with no refferal can be up for grabs in some sort of giveaway or rank positions.

i like the process like it is.  It's not a situation where you have to "push" referrals and make a lot of people mad at you for harassing them into joining something, but it's something that you can share your experiences with and have sucess at making a little extra money.  i like it!

Yes I totally agree what you have put here. FC has a lot of advantages over a lot of other PTC sites and we as members need to spread the word and make it well known to more people so we finally will be able to get some rewards! Heeheee..... :P

Absolutely no upgraded position.  This is what sets Fusion Cash apart form other programs.
I agree there could be contests for random referrals.  That could be fun and generate more interest from members who don't like to recruit others.

I like that Fusion Cash doesn't have paid levels of membership and I agree with what the administrator said that someone would lose out. FC doesn't want to lose money and if you don't have a lot of time that month, you don't want to lose money either. Plus, it's what attracted me to FC that I didn't have to pay anything to join!
