@uneng if you want to build referral base then it’s best to use crypto ad networks, get creative with banners eg win Lamborghini etc and to make sure you get positive ROI use PPC strategy for your ads. Also the numbers don’t mean anything because if you get 1000 referrals and they don’t spend much time one won’t earn, but if you get few big rollers then you’ll earn more so target premium audience to earn more from referrals.
Thanks for the hint, @Juggy777! It may be also useful for everyone around looking for advices on how to advertise their referral links.
Out of 400+ referrals, only 9 are active ones. The rest of those persons are not using the freebitco site. That's strange because if they naturally joined with your referral links they should remain active.
How did you promote your referral link to get that many inactive referrals ? Did you offer them any incentive for joining with your link ?
The incentive I offered to them was comission back for every actions they execute on the site. The more active they are on the faucet, dice game and investment tab, the more they are going to receive back every week from me. It's not a surprise they got inactive though. The average profile of facebook users (where I promoted the link) is composed by people with zero funds to invest, looking for tasks and small jobs that pay enough to complement monthly income and once they achieve some extra budget to invest, 4% annual interest isn't enough for them, so they completely ignore investment offers like the one from freebitco.in and fall for the ponzi schemes and hyped altcoins, which promise 10% daily or something like this.
Most of the people join freebitco to earn free BTC. And the main marketing tool is ‘earn upto $200 from faucets every hour’. Many newbie crypto user join through the affiliate links with a hope of winning big amounts from faucets. Eventually they leave the site when they loss their interest by getting the lower tier prizes. Among my 38 referrals only one user is active now. I had only 4-5 referrals who used to play the multiply BTC game. But none of them are active now.
Yes, people don't realize there is one chance in ten thousand to hit 200$ every hour or don't understand what "up to" means. They expect to hit it more often, and when they see it's not going to happen, they just give up...
400+ refs wow that's pretty impressive.
I got 100+ refs but I don't think any of them are still active anymore because the number barely goes up.

That's understandable because since the price of bitcoin went way up lately it started to make less sense to use the faucet... It would take years before they make the minimum withdrawal amount.
Thanks! 100 referrals is also a nice number!
The ideal would be to refer investors to the site. That is the best kind of referral in my opinion, because they don't even need to be active on the site to generate comission.
