However, some people think that spreading referral links is very difficult and a waste of time. This makes them not continue what they have started. That means they have the will to keep trying it, even though it takes time to see the results.
Those who stop trying after several tries only and then say that they have just wasted their time are just some people who desperate and some people who do not want to make more efforts. As you have said, it can be done periodically like once a day or even once a week, something that wont take too much our time. I am sure that these days, most people spend their time in social media or at least browsing the internet more than 2 hours per day. They can do spend hours on lets say youtube, instagram, tiktok, etc for hours but they do not call it as waste of time, but they call spending few minutes in social media to spread referral link as waste of time, what a fun ironic fact.
Well, maybe those who have tried but failed say that referrals are just a waste of time and useless. But some people can actually use their referrals to make money. It depends on a person's desire to find where he wants to make money from the internet.
The internet provides more opportunities for those who want to seek these opportunities. We often underestimate what other people do and assume we won't be able to do it. But not for other people.
