renting referrals

[cwortman544]

what exactly is this does anyone know?  I've never heard of "renting referrals" either.  I know I've been on "trading forums" in the past and to me it's an unfair advantage.  Most of those trading forums have people on there that want to trade websites with you that if you sign up under them as a referral for their sites they will sign up as a referral under your site.  The thing that doesn't make sense is FC is free and you don't HAVE to do paid offers.  Most of these people trading their sites you sign up and every offer wants paypal or a CC and money to do it.  Then once you spend money for these people they get one of the prizes shown.  The only way it would work is if the person decided to keep up with FC and cash out more than once but otherwise it's not an equal trade.  A referral of mine hasn't done anything aside from sign up.  Another one has done the same thing.

What is renting referrals? If it's free i would rent them but if i have to pay, i don't see the point in renting them.

If your paying money to do something you are not earning the money. Its really up to the go-getters who spend hours to be sure they get the money they put into it that use those types of referrals.

Renting referrals just sounds like a really bad idea.

a couple other sites like this have an option to rent referrals its a great idea for all your members to earn extra cash plus fc people receive credit because not every referal is guaranteed to work out.. but i would do it cus i cant get referals anyother way

is it like where you 'hire' workers?

If you rent referrals from looking at previous post, is that even possible here? Aren't we looking for long-term committment overall? And if it is possible isn't that against the rules here @ fc?

no def not a bad idea, and def not trouble.. you see,, the way they do it is for like .50 cents they assign you 3 referrals for $1.00 its 8 referrals etc...  and then you can keep track of their progress. if they're not working out for you they give you the option of "recycling" the referral and they actually give you new referrals.. plus it is only an option, you're not forced into renting them, i mean some people cant get direct referrals otherwise. in this business the more referrals you can get the more money you make,, and to have an additional option to increase your income is gonna bring more people to these sites so all in all its a win win for every one.. soooo tell me again how is it a "bad idea" or why does it sound like "trouble"?? that just doesn't even make sense. i know for a fact renting refs works

I'm not so sure that I would want to rent referrals. It would be my luck that they wouldn't do anything, so it would eat up all that I've earned on this site, so my ROI would be in the negatives. ON another site I work on, you get randomly assigned referrals once you reach a certain threshold. It's doesn't cost a penny. It's great if they earn you something, but you certainly won't lose.

I had this experience on a ptc site. I rented referrals and they didn't make back the money I paid to rent them.
