Inactive referrals- why do they join?

I don't know what your experience is, but almost every referral I got for my programs are inactive. For example, there is the program Paid2youtube. I have 10 referrals there, but none of them is active. They join, and click 1-2 ads, and they quit. I wonder why is this happening, because is one of the quickest PTCs around. And there are the programs like onbux and neobux. We rent referrals there, but for me it is very strange that those referrals click only once in a while. I mean, how can this be possible? If you are a member of a site, you make your clicks everyday, right? And when you click, you click all of the 4 ads. That is why I think that those referrals are some bots or not every click they make is taken in consideration. I have also a referral in Logiptc, another great site, but fortunately, she is clicking regularly. I wish all my referrals would be so active as her. The only really working strategy seems to be the site trading. So what are your experiences? Do you have luck with your referrals or this is a common thing?

I experienced it. I have lot of referrals in many sites but they are almost inactive. I guess when they read information from your referral link, they motivate and join. After some days they see the earning is not much as they think to earn due to shortage of time or signing up in so many sites and have not time. Some times forget the site where they signed up. Etc. many reasons make our referral idle. However, I have earned some money from myLot referral and freelancer referrals in past.

Good question my friend!! I have 13 of them on here and I have held their hands every step of the way. None have ever posted a single comment and or discussion. Online earnings are simply not for everyone is my summation.

If everybody could realize how much money can be made online, they would certainly give their best to be active and to work harder in order to make more money. I wish I could attract many people in my downline and make them understand how important is to be active and to see the enormous potential which is in this sites.

I've had the same problems. I actually went back to one person and ask them why aren't they continuing and they replied that way Of making money is too slow and time consuming. Others say it was because I was bothering them too much to join so they just join but really they aren't interested in it. I have never tried the renting referrals thing before and I don't think it is efficient either. So now once in a while I would ask all who are interested in it, and if they truely aren't I won't even try to force them. I would just don't bother to give them the site at all. That's how I see things.

Oh, I think that there are way too many reasons. I think that a lot of people have a, "Hey this looks like a cool website...signs up...hey look this looks like another cool website, I'll just forget about the website I just signed up five seconds ago." I think that the worst thing about referrals is trying to get people with attention spans that are beyond that of a common house fly. Getting referrals can be a bit tricky but it is far easier to get them then to have them be active.

What you say is true one hundred percent.Very few referrals follow and many give up in the begining or in the middle.Perhaps either they are not interested or they don't earn as much as they expected.Better not to rely on referrals. With little experience I gave it up completely.Now I concentrate on starting discussions or posting responses in mylot..All the best..HAPPY NEW YEAR

I don't encounter it now but lately I observed it's a common thing because other members are interested on the first time but they give up on the end. That's how I've observed lately...

Everybody has a lot of them. I think that that they join just to try the site and then they dont like it and as a result of this they dont use it again.

I have experienced the same in many programs! In most cases, the referrals think the earnings may not be more or else they doubt whether the program is paying or not.

Will you be this dedicated when you find an alternate source of income ...? that may the reason why most referrals become inactive or less active after some time..No I haven't tried to get one ..I joined mylot just for fun and make friends... thanks for the topic.. have a great day/night..

yes my experience or luck with neobux is bad.sometimes get a very bad result with the referrels then i have to recycle them again.. i think they dont come back to sites because some sites pays money for just only signing up.so they sign up for it and then forgets about that site.
