i rented 100 referrals with the cost $25 in the last month & used about $2 to recycle the inactive referrals. i only used about $2 because those recycled referrals are not clicking well either. so i dare not to use more money to recycle more referrals.
the one month referral renting for the 100 referrals had just over & overall, i lost about $3.60+. what's your comment on this matter?
give up neobux?

I don't think you should give up...whenever you rent the referrals don't always expect that they will be active..sometime majority will be inactive...but what you need to do is find the active one and keep on extending them...everytime you rent the referrals you will find some referrals very active...keep them with you...like that you will accumulate the active referrals...it is a gradual process...you will make money but not instantly..you have to keep patience and build your strategy and stick to it...all the best!

U are not the first person to experience losses with neobux.. As far as i know, referrals wont really earn one much money.. BEcause there will always be inactive ones.. Alot depends on our luck.. PLus, needing to pay $2 for recycling inactive referrals?? How can we be assured that the next batch will be active?? IF not, it's gonna be another $2 wasted.. haha =D
U need not give up on neobux, but give up on the referals.. Dun recycle anymore.. Wait till u get back your invested $25, only then u stopped investing in more ^_^

i have stopped recyle after the $2 additional did not return any good results to me. overall i have invested about $27 (including recycling) but only received around $23. the referrals renting has ended with a lost of $2.60+ in total. i don't think i will invest more.

i really don't know that there is an option to buy referrals other than to rent referrals.

that's true, go another way to get referrals. i will not invest in referral renting at the moment before i have a better strategy to work on.

No, not really. Giving up is like giving out your investment that easily. So i think it would be best if you stayed a little longer. But If it has the same effect, then try to ask the admin why is it possible? Since you have paid for it and you have a right to accept active referrals. Voice out your concerns and don't quit that easily.

I think what Neobux needs to do is guarentee that referals will be active, before tossing them into the group that can be rented, or if it shows that referals are only active on a certain average, they hsould make their rental balances work with the average, not just charge one price for all, since some are not worth as much as the others.

Dear friend
You should not have invested so much for a start. Every site is running for money so you have to play it safe by renting less members and that too out of your earnings and started gradually instead of going in for 100 referrals. It sure was madness one can say leaving the site is your wish as it is good in paying so be there and start things again with a slow and steady way. Now you might have surely learnt a great lesson...after this incident

I would say to give it up. It sounds to me like it is more trouble thean it is worth.

Thats not awful are you a Golden Member, I have rented 20 for 5, and I'm halfway through the month and already close to 5, so I should make more than I spent.
Perhaps you recycle your referrals way too soon, I give mine 3 or 4 days to get going again.

Don't purchase referrals more it can be harmful for you because in neobux the chances of inactive referrals be 40-50% so purchase the minimum of numbers of referrals and see who is the most active then you purchase it to another 1 month(not 2 or 3...)because may be it will be inactive so that you could earn money by that referral as you spend on that. And chance to another three referrals and see who is inactive recycle it and keep only active and increase your referral slowly slowly because the active referrals will give you the money of it self and some extra because of the activity. so the extra money you can use in purchasing the new referrals...So means no lose and being increase your referrals no. and you will be always happy as me....please give your review...

that's a good strategy, shadabiitr. thanks for sharing. it seems like i took the wrong step for renting 100 referrals on my first attempt. if i am to extend referrals, i need to extend the whole pack of 100 referrals.

Well based on my experience so far with neobux, I've lost money renting referrals as well. However, that's only because I'm a standard member to the site. Are you a golden member? If your a standard member then maybe that's the problem. With golden, you'll make twice as much from referrals than standard. I would suggest making direct referrals too.

yeah, i lost money because i am a standard member. thanks for sharing, i might go golden in the future & of course trying to get direct referrals too.

i had always heard paying for referals is not worth it-you never know if they'll remain active.you might be better off using that money as a task here-you'd probably be more likely to find a few that would keep at it.

yeah, even if the referrals are active now, but they might be inactive for the coming months. that's true to use the money as a task here.

Sorry for what happened to you but i taught you recycle the active referrals so that you can retain them. Dont give up i have been renting referrals for some months and have not had much lossess
@victorywp (3524)

recyle the active referrals so that you can retain them? do you actually mean extend the active referrals so that you can retain them?
if i want to extend, i would have to extend all of the 100 referrals because they came in one pack. but out of the 100 referrals, only one very active referral.
thanks for sharing, lindiebiz.
@victorywp (3524)

no, i did not extend them for another month. so i have left all the rented referrals free, but i will not leave neobux yet.

hi there..
i dont think you should give up neobux on this basis.. because even neobux administrators will nbot have any idea which of the referrals willbe acive,,,so i think you should try to hget more direct referrals .. and you wont loose any money even though the referrals turn out to be inactive...
cheers...
