Why Do People Ask for Links, Join, Click One Day and Stop?

I don't understand why people do this. If I join a site I'm going to click everyday. Isn't that how you make the money! I know I've had people join under me, click that one time and never do it again. And this is in legit sites. Why waste your time doing this much if you're not going to continue on. Have you ever done this and why? Maybe your responses will help me to understand the reason behind this.

Tell me about it, Im closing in on 80 referrals under me at one of my sites, but Im lucky if one or two are active. And some time's they will be active for a little while, then nothing. Im in that site every day, even on thanksgiving & Christmas.

I absolutely agree with you. SO many people do this. Actually there are two reasons behind this in my view.
Firstly Majority want to earn without any effort at all. And they calculate their earning earned at their own. They don't calculate after adding their referals and etc. As in lots of programs one can never even reach cashout without the help of referrals.
Secondly their are soooooo many scam sites around . Thats why they reluctantly join when they are asked to but afterward cannot continue to do this.

the link you posted in your profile doesn't work on me. It says "We currently do not accept registration from your country." I am from the Philippines. I hope there are other links which are also available in the Philippines. Thanks!

It may be a matter of simply biting off more than they can chew. Many times people might get an invitation to a site and get carried away or think that they're obligated to join. As a result they have all these sites that they're a member of and hardly anytime to actually participate in those sites that they've joined.
Who knows?

Yes it certainly doesn't make much sense to quit trying after the first day but I guess online earning isn't for everyone. I've never even had a referral sign up under me before though so I guess your lucky to even get one even though they didn't help you out much.

I've been on both sides of the fence. When I sign up through someone's ref link, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'll be active on it. And I don't always feel obligated to either. I might not continue for a variety of reasons:
- I might rummage through the site and decide it's not for me.
- I might try it for a while and lose interest.
- Life and/other projects might take over. I might go back to the site later or never.
When I sign people up to a site through my ref link, some stay active, several don't. But I can understand why some might not as I've been there myself. It's life, it's human nature.
Maybe it's best to focus on those who are active than those who aren't.
