Be careful with rented referrals!

It's been 4 months since I've upgraded to Golden. Best $90 ever spent! It took me over a year to get to earn them since I didn't want to spend my money, but I want to prove that it's possible to make some extra cash on the side with NeoBux.

Since then I've earned about over $300 of which I've received about $150 and spent $150 on renting referrals.

This post is about them - your rented referrals.

Your rented referrals aren't as active as direct ones, you can expect an average of 0.7 click per day per referral. So, with 100 referrals you can expect to get about 70 clicks per day. That gives you just enough margin to make money!

Let's do some math: To rent 100 referrals you'll have to pay $20. With autopay disabled they'll last for 30 days (if you don't extend them). If you make 1 cent per referral click this means that they'll have to bring in at least 2000 click in 30 days to be profitable!
If we divide 2000 with 30 we get 66.67 - or 67 clicks per day they have to make to break even!

If you enable autopay the situation is different completely! With autopay you pay 1 cent per day per referral that clicks that day to extend him for 1 day more. AutoPay could mean a potential loss so I disabled it after I did some math.
Recycling and extending referrals could cost you more that you could earn!

This rule obviously has one exception - you should only extend referrals that are profitable - I extend all that have an average of at least 0.75 or more because 0.75 times 30 equals 22.5 cents opposite to 20 cents it cost you to rent him. This minimal average grows as your referral number grows because later you wont pay $20 per 100 refs, you'll pay more. Just divide the cost with number of days and you'll get the break-even value!

After a while you should have a solid base of "earners" that have an average just good enough to keep them arround.

The bottom line:
Upgrade to Golden, rent referrals, disable autopay, do not recycle, do not extend, let them expire as they go, with one exception:
If, after 29 days, referral has an average of 0.75 or more - extend him for 30 more days, he's a money maker!
