Despite the current market situation, we're still on the lookout for opportunities. This reminds me of my experience as a builder for a centralized exchange (CEX) early in my web3 journey. I saw an opportunity to grow my community while promoting the exchange and earning rewards - a win-win situation! What are your thoughts on such programs? Have you participated in anything similar?
As they are named, such programs are mostly for influencers or people who have good networking skills or maybe have communities they are managing where they onboard people on such things to get referral rewards, I'm not an influencer, nor do I manage any groups with a bunch of people always ready to join programs or platforms, especially if it's not something that would give them something for free, lol. So the answer to your question from me would be no, I have never participated in such programs.
A lot of people think it's easy to earn money by referring people to certain services and platforms but that isn't true. It used to be easier to refer people in the past because not a lot of people used to know about these things back then, but nowadays, anyone you approach, would say they are already into them before you even tell them to join you as a referral.
So it's challenging, and only those who are influencers, content creators, or people with a lot of followers and communities can achieve something reasonable from these programs.
