Since 2012 I have actively been earning from online opportunities, must have joined around 200 different opportunities... some scammed, some I gave up on, some are ticking along, and some I truly focus on because they are paying the best... and I'm currently active on 63 opportunities.
Most of those opportunities have a referral scheme, meaning I can promote my referral link, get referrals and earn some extra cash.
However, I have given up trying to put out link after link trying to get a referral here and there, and instead now promote just ONE link, which is a splashpage introducing 'referrals' to sign up to find out how they can earn "$xxx a week online" where xxx is the amount I earned that week, which generally increases each week, and is very close to becoming $x,xxx instead of $xxx.
When someone chooses to fill in the form on that splashpage, their information comes to me and I respond with a message explaining that I will introduce them to opportunities on a steady basis, starting with the best ones and also to tools that will be useful to them.
I feel that I am literally saving them years of time, because...
a) They are being given the best opportunities on a plate, instead of trying this and trying that until they find something that works.
b) I am showing them the best methods to start earning a worthwhile income as quickly as possible.
I introduce them to things on a steady basis, starting with 7 cryptocurrency websites that combined will EVENTUALLY earn them around $22 an hour from around 3 minutes of effort. These are sites where you start off on the lowest level, earning rather little, then build up gradually over time to increase your level until you reach the highest level. I explain that you can claim cryptocurrency on an hourly basis via a faucet and you have surveys and offers to earn more. I also explain there are games where you place wagers, and the best thing to do is make ten faucets claims then wager 10% of the amount earned (i.e. their balance) on automatic mode with the lowest risk, and that at some point they won't be able to wager because the losses have led them to have an insufficient balance for the wager, plus I point out that it is this wagering that increases the level they are earning at.
I give them a couple of days to get used to those 7 sites, then introduce them to another 6 similar sites that just look a bit different but work in the same way. I tell them to try and get into a routine of doing the claims as often as possible, and even help them plan this around their commitments. Basically, people with full-time jobs average around 6-7 claims daily while people without employment generally do at least 12 claims a day.
After this, I move on (steadily) with more sites, and ways to speed things up, for example FaucetPay where you have unlimited opportunities to earn cryptocurrency all day via thousands of low paying faucets, which can then be deposited into the original 13 sites they were introduced to.
Then, I look at the important things... like wallets which link to their bank accounts (e.g. Coinbase) so they can withdraw their earnings and marketing systems to get referrals.
After this, I introduce them to as many sites as they want of the remaining 50 or so I also do - again explaining everything they need to know!
I can monitor their progress in the referral stats when I sign in, so if they are lacking I try to give some encouragement, and if they are exceeding expectations I praise them accordingly.
So, in my view, if you are shown what to do and have someone available to ask when you have an issue, it can't really be too hard to get things right... as an example... "You wake up, click the sites, then after an hour you can click again" is pretty self-explanatory, right?
While most referrals crack on and literally message me once in a blue moon, they are others that are always messaging about the same thing over and over again, I try to help best I can, but (of course) I'm dealing with hundreds of referrals and most days I'm focusing on newbies because they need to the most attention.
Today was a classic example... No names but a referral was told to earn 50 credits a day on a website you can use for advertising referral links. This morning they should have had around 200 credits, so I asked them to set up 3 adverts (for their links) and apply 50 credits to each advert, the idea being that they start learning how to promote their referral links. I explained the format in detail, and (as kind of expected) the questions kept coming in... and something that should have taken around 15 minutes, ended up taking nearly 2 hours... but then came the question "It says I've only got 34 credits, what do I do now?" - complete proof that for the last FOUR DAYS they hadn't listened to my advice! My answer was "Earn 116 credits, then come back to me". Now, another four and a half hours later, I still haven't heard from them... but I know they've managed to earn about another 21 credits in that time!
I'll wait!
