So what do you guys think about using share cash flow profits to buy direct referrals instead of rented? I'm also thinking of getting the ones the admin sells first. This has two benefits. first, referrals that never expire (even though they tend to slow down over time), but also we give the admin another source of cash flow which helps the site and eases his concerns about payouts
I'm kind of against it because not only direct referral earnings are even lower than the rented ones on FamilyClix but also because they are way too expensive and the breaking even time is too long if we only rely on clicks..
You may get really lucky only if you get DRs that make purchases of course or if you get referrals that will click for at least a year to pay their price and grant a small profit for you..
For example with the sister membership, I have Mr. R (
) as my referral and he has made 544 clicks that translates to $1.066 of referral click earnings.
If he has been clicking the 6 standard ads daily it would have taken him 90 days to earn me that and we're talking about a super active referral. So at this rate it would normally take me 270 days to reach $3 in referral click earnings that would justify the price of the referral purchase..
So, after having a few referrals like him (of course I didn't sell Mr.R as he is a purchaser and a known star referral
) that haven't made any purchases for 3 months I successfully sold them at ~$3 each, so this way I instantly earned whatever they would have "maybe" earned me after 9 months. All that if I was lucky enough for them to stay active for 9 months of clicking on the site..
However this way I invested the money I got from the ref sales to shares that will pay much more after those 9 months. But a direct referral that stays active for more than 6 months is kind of a jackpot in this industry based on my stats so shares kind of minimize our risk..
On the other hand, since you are thinking about helping the admin why not simply purchase actual advertising that is a service you actually need and can use, plus the amounts you pay, go fully in his hands for him to pay our bills..?
