P.S. I was hoping if I could ask the moderators if they could keep this one open for a tiny bit longer than usual. I am hoping to get suggestions from both veterans and new users, and if we all do come to a conclusion, we will have something to link to new users who say they have trouble extending their RRs, whether it be 10 RRs, or 1000 RRs. (I put this on top so the mods would see it first).

-------------------------------


Howdy everyone. Well, lets up jump right to it. (And make sure that if you DO respond, that you read all of this post, so we can avoid miscommunication and get straight to the problem.)

Now some of you who are reading this may be confused as to what I mean by "extension strategy". Usually, when we think of strategy, we think of recycling, managing, etc. I am here to bring up a different point of view on extending, while hopefully getting my question answered.


You see, I had a recycle strategy that went sour, which in turn, made it harder for me to extend my RRs like I normally do because I had to dip more into my pockets and pay more and more money. On the bright side, over the past 5 days or so, I went into the process of fixing my strategy and "jump starting" my average, bringing it from a .5-.6 range to a .7-.8 (hopefully will break .8 today). Now the thing is, in the process of cleaning out and restarting, I had to increase recycle costs temporarily, which thus lead me to have a little less than expected to extend. Now, while I can still dip into my own pockets (I only have so much money a month I can pump into Neobux), let me explain what I am looking for through a story/situation type thing. (All numbers are fictional and made up, I know the objects described below don't actually cost the amount mentioned.)




A small business owner makes $100 a month. His car breaks down one day, and he decides to go rent a car from his local rental store. He goes in, tells the sales clerk his situation and asks what options there are to pay. The sales clerk lays out two options:



  1. Pay $200 right now to rent the car the whole year
  2. Pay $30 a month to rent the car for a month



The man, with an intent of renting the car for a whole year, does a quick calculation to see that the first option, while costing him more upfront, only costs him $200 a year while the second option costs him $360 a year. What is he to do if he only makes $100 a month?


Essentially I am sort of in that boat, as I am sure a lot of people in Neobux are. While some people would dip into their own pockets, and just extend 240 days (or even 150 or 90), not everyone in the Neobux community has that option. Some of us need a pay-as-you-go extension strategy. Some of us need to go with option 2. We don't mind coming out with a smaller paycheck as long as it means we aren't getting into debt. And heck, while we save up the money we do earn, we might eventually invest it to extend referrals even longer.


My question to you is, what is the best pay-as-you-go strategy? Or in terms of the story, what is the best kind of option 2? I have been debating, and was thinking that auto-pay for sure would be turned on in a strategy like this, most likely with a 15 day extension 20 days before the RRs expire, to keep them always on Auto-pay. Anybody have a better idea? If you guys need any information from me, feel free to ask. I think if we can get this problem solved, it will give people another option than just having to extending for high amounts of time for maximum discounts.

The concept is actually very simple:

The more days you will renew for, the more safe you are. That's why it's advisable from the start to rent less referrals than what you can afford and use the rest of the budget to renew them for as longer as possible the first time.

In case now that you cannot afford the maximum renewals (240 days) then you must go for less days. The more you can afford the safer you are. If you can afford less than 90 days renewals, then AutoPay should be turned on because it will offer you an extra discount without a need to pay for it in advance.

My advice is to avoid at all costs the 15 days renewals because they are the more risky plan.

Keep always in mind that AutoPay pays only the active clickers (for their first click for a day) and most probably the majority of the days of your referrals will be paid through the manual renewal plans. That's why is advisable your manual renewal plan to be as longer (in number of days) as possible.

Of course if you value more a faster progress than a stable progress, then you may consider the short renewal plans in order to rent faster but in this case you must be aware that the risk level is higher.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A $700 BUDGET?

With a budget of $700 (which is the one that you are sure that you want to spend) you can follow a very stable plan:

Reach a total of 500 referrals extended for 240 days and get a golden membership. This will put you in a position where you will have 500 rented referrals on the 240 days renewal plan and a golden membership which means that averages above 0.541 (this is the lowest possible break even point in terms of average within NeoBux) can be profitable for you.

Specifically you can follow this plan:
-Rent 100 referrals on 14 of September and go golden on 17-18 for $110 in total.
-Rent 100 referrals on 21 of September for $20.
-Rent 40 referrals on 28 of september for $8.
-Do not rent more referrals until you extend for 240 days the 240 new ones for a total cost $268.8 (after the 250 rented referrals the rental/renewal prices go up as you can see in the help page).
-Based on your words you will have the rest of your budget available for sure on 8 of October, so this day rent 100 referrals more for $21.
-Rent 100 referrals for $21 on 15 of October.
-Rent 50 referrals for $10.5 on 22 of October and extend the last 250 referrals you've got for 240 days for $295 in total.

The grand total is $754.3 and it's obvious that the missing (over your budget) $54.3 will come from your earnings in the meantime.

After you are in that position where it's easy to make profit you can think again what do you want to do. Either
A)staying here, stabilizing your account in a profitable level and start cashouting or reinvesting your profit
Or
B)Spend more money from your pocket to rent more referrals and/or consider the purchase of a golden pack.

How much profit you can make from your account is something that only time will tell (and better to avoid predictions) but at least with the above plan you know that you will have to pay the minimum possible cost to maintain your account which means the highest possible profit margin for the number of the referrals you will have.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 suggestions:

1) Do not forget to click the 4 (9 when your are golden) orange fixed ads daily based on server time (see ToS point 3.7. for more info).

2) Be ready to develop and apply a reasonable manual recycle policy. The detailed previous behavior of every referral is the key (try to spot recurrent behaviors to understand the clicking patterns).

Example: You have a referral who is clicking 1 ad every 3 days and he/she did that 7 times in a row. That referral is clicking obviously in a non profitable way for the last 21 days. In this case you have a clear clicking pattern which is not profitable, has no chances to reach the auto-recycle (this is a free recycle which will happen automatically if any of your referrals has stayed inactive for 14 consecutive days) limit and therefore you should manually recycle (personally in this example I would have recycled him/her at the 4th of 5th time).

As you understand is strongly advisable to study the whole previous behavior of any referral you consider to recycle and therefore you should keep stats daily. If you don't know how to use the exported lists, then this post will help you a lot:
http://www.neobux.com/forum/?frmid=7&tpcid=151430&msgid=1639866#m1639866

As a suggestion concentrate on older referrals when you recycle, because you have more data to judge them as precisely as possible and remember to give always enough time to referrals (especially new ones) to show you what they can do for you.

Remember always that the best recycle policy is the one you will develop yourself based on the behavior of your referrals. Since every account and referral is unique there is not a standard recipe that will work for every one.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because renting as golden is a little harder (but not that hard), here are some info:

From the FAQ:
Golden members have much more demand in renting referrals compared to Standard members because almost all of them can afford to rent. As the demand rises, the distributed referrals for a particular time are easily sold out.

Golden members can rent referrals by setting two times of the day for renting depending on their most convenient time. You can find that option in your personal settings. After you change the time, you can only change it again after 7 days.

Remember to be quick because many other members will be there at the same time as you trying to rent.

If you're having trouble renting, you can always use the rental queue which, while being a bit more expensive, will guarantee you the referrals.

Best of luck.

Here are 2 stable enough plans:

For $300:
-Rent 100 referrals: $20
-Rent 100 referrals: $20
-Purchase golden membership: $90
-Rent 50 referrals: $10.

Total cost $140 which means that you will have $160 for renewals. With the help of your earnings it's almost sure that you will be able to extend all of them for at least 150 days before the end of the first 30 days which means that it will be possible to stay within the profit zone with averages over 0.599.
.
For $500:
-Rent 100 referrals: $20
-Rent 100 referrals: $20
-Purchase golden membership: $90
-Rent 100 referrals: $20.
-Rent 100 referrals: $21.
-Rent 100 referrals: $21.

Total cost $192 which means that you will have $308 for renewals. With the help of your earnings it's almost sure that you will be able to extend all of them for at least 150 days before the end of the first 30 days which means that it will be possible to stay within the profit zone with averages over 0.576.

Note: For the $500 plan it would be advisable to extend as many as possible for 150 days before you cross the 250 rented referrals.

Renting as a standard 100 referrals and renew for 240 days is a good option. In this case you will need any average above 0.93 to be in the profit zone.

But with $150 you can:
-Rent 100 referrals for $20
-Go golden for $90
-Rent 50 referrals for $10
Total cost is $120 so you will have in advance the money ($30) to renew everyone for 30 more days.

Most probably you will be able to renew everyone for at least 60 more days before the end of the first 30 days which will make it possible to stay in profit with an average over 0.764. Using AutoPay is strongly advisable in this case and it will push the average you need to be in profit towards 0.73. When you are able to renew everyone for at least 90 more days, you should turn AutoPay off because 90 more days offer a better discount than AutoPay.

In short:
Renting 100 referrals and renew for 240 day as a standard member means a BEP of 0.933 and renting 150 referrals (including the funds to renew for at least 30 more days) as a golden member means a BEP of around 0.75.

The choice is yours.

If you want to go for a golden membership it would be advisable to have a budget of $150. Then you can rent 100 referrals for $20, go golden for $90, rent another 50 referrals for $10 and you will also have $30 to be able to renew your referrals for as longer as possible the first time. In this case it's advisable to enable AutoPay and disable only when you are in position to renew all your referrals for 90 or more days.

If your budget is strictly $100, then you should rent referrals as a standard member. Renting less referrals and use the rest of funds to renew them for longer period(s) the first time will offer you stability, while renting more referrals can help you to build your downline faster.

The final choice is yours and depends on how much you prefer a slower, but more stable progress over a faster, but less stable progress.

AUTORENEW

Basically when any of the rented referrals
has reached the specified days remaining
prior to their expiration days, the referrals
will be automatically renewed for the days selected.

Make sure you have enough funds
in either rental or main balances
to cover the renewal costs or else
the rented referrals will not get
renewed by AutoRenew and you'll need
to manually renew them before they
expires which there is a fee.




Discounts from the days renewing:
-Renewing for 15 more days offers no discount.
-Renewing for 30 more days offers a 5% discount.
-Renewing for 60 more days offers a 10% discount.
-Using Autopay offers a 15% discount.
-Renewing for 90 more days is offers a 18% discount.
-Renewing for 150 more days is offers a 25% discount.
-Renewing for 240 more days is offers a 30% discount.

FAQ=> Referrals=>AutoRenew=>

What is AutoRenew?

AutoRenew is the automatic renewal process of your rented referrals.
Contrary to AutoPay which will work only when a referral makes
his/her first click for a day and will extend for one day the
referral's deadline, AutoRenew works every day (*) and prolongs
your referralâs deadline based on your chosen renewal period
and time before expiration.

You can enable AutoRenew in your rented referrals listing
page the same way you do with AutoPay.

Before enabling it the two following options will be given:
Period: This will be the exact period for which the referral's
rental will be extended. You can choose any of the usual manual
renewal periods (15, 30, 60, 90, 150, and 240 days) to receive
the benefit from the related discounts for each period
(except for the 15 days one).

Before: The time before the expiration when the automated renewal
will be triggered. You can choose any of the available number of
days and your referrals will be extended if the rental deadline
is the same or below the chosen number of days.

(*) AutoRenew will only be attempted for each referral once per day.
If you have no funds in your rental and / or main balance or some
unexpected error occurs, the referral(s) that weren't renewed will
be only checked again approximately 24 hours after. We advise you
to choose a higher number of days between the first renewal check
and the referrals' deadline, so that you'll have the most chances
of getting all referrals automatically renewed. It's your
responsibility to have enough funds for the renewals and always
check if any referral has failed to be renewed automatically.

AUTOPAY

AutoPay Minimum Days Limit:
 Standard  = 20 days
 Golden  = 20 days
 Emerald  = 20 days
 Sapphire  = 18 days
 Platinum  = 20 days
 Diamond  = 14 days
 Ultimate  = 10 days

Basically once it's enabled AutoPay will
pay and extend 1 day at 15% discount for
any of the ref(s) that has made a click
and has more than 20 days left.

When the rented referrals has less than 20 days left
you will need to manually renew or enable autorenew
them or else they will expire which there is a small fee per TOS 3.4

Autopay is 4th cheapest way to renew your refs,
when you have all your refs renew longer then 90 days,
it's not longer needed, but autopay can still be useful
to help spread out the # of refs due to expire at the same time.

15 days renewal = 0% discount
30 days renewal = 5% discount
60 days renewal = 10% discount
Autopay = 15% discount
90 days renewal = 18% discount
150 days renewal = 25% discount
240 days renewal = 30% discount

Autopay can be enabled or disabled for all rented referrals.

Some examples:
Ref #1 has 19 days left autopay will not pay for ref #1.

Ref #2 has 23 days left and made a click,
autopay will extend ref #2 for 1 more day.

Ref #3 has 40 days left and made no click,
autopay will not extend ref #3 until
a click is made.

AutoPay automatically deducts the
payments from the rental balance, if it
has insufficient funds, it uses main balance.
If both balances have insufficient funds
it won't be triggered and will only work again
when one of the balances has enough funds.

AutoPay features:
- Renew referrals for 1 day at a time at 15% discount.
- Saves time in automatic renewing refs with 20 or more day remaining.
- Cheaper then 15, 30, 60 days renewing.
- Might help in filtering out low clickers.
- Might help in using earnings efficiently.
- Help in delaying payments on large numbers of refs expiring at the same time.
- No need to use AutoPay if renewing longer than 90, 150, 240 days.
- Flexibility to enable or disable at any time.
- AutoPay works for all the refs, you cannot select who to extend for 1 extra day.


Also read here

For example:
If today the ref makes 1 click
it'll get extended for 1 extra day at the
15% discount price per day.

If your current month rental cost
is $0.25 which comes to $0.00833 per ref per day
with AutoPay your per ref cost per day now is $0.00708333

More AutoPay Examples:

Example 1:
I just extend some refs for 90 days.
I'll enable autopay and help spread out the cost
so I don't need to come up with a lump sum of cash
when the refs come close to their expiration date.

Example 2:
My ref has less than 20 days left. Autopay is
not going to extend them for me anymore.
I have to manually extend them for 15/30/60/90/150/240 days.

Example 3:
Extending 1 ref with no discount is $0.26 per month
which cost $0.0087 per day (0.26/30).

Extending 1 ref at 18% discount for 90 days is $0.64

$0.26 per month
x
3 months
x
0.82 (18% discount)
/
90 days
=
$0.0071 per day.

With AutoPay on.

If the ref click today (now 89 days left).
I'll paid:

$0.26 per month
x
0.85 (15% discount)
/
30 days
=
$0.007366 per day.

The refs remaining time will stay the same
at 89 days (+1 day from autopay and -1 day because a day has passed)

How to earn in Neobux

reggen666 



2010/10/28 at 20:31
The earning process in NeoBux can be described as:

-Click your ads every day according to server time.
-Rent some more referrals.
-Get some direct referrals (after you have met the requirements which are: at least 30 days as a member and 100 of your own clicks).
-Manage your referrals wisely (keep daily statistics and use recycling if it's needed and use renewing plans for longer periods to reduce the renewing cost in the long run).
-Buy any upgrade that you believe is a useful one when you can afford it.
-Repeat the above cycle.

Remember that the more money you will invest form your pocket, the more you will speed up the process of building your downline.

When you are renting referrals there are 7 options:
1. Rent as many referrals as you can afford and make sure that you have also the funds to renew them for 240 more days in advance. (minimum risk approach).

2. Rent as many referrals as you can afford and make sure that you have also the funds to renew them for 150 more days in advance. (very low risk approach).

3. Rent as many referrals as you can afford and make sure that you have also the funds to renew them for 90 more days in advance. (low risk approach).

4. Rent as many referrals as you can afford and make sure that you have also the funds to renew them for 60 more days in advance. (intermediate risk approach).

5. Rent as many referrals as you can afford and make sure that you have also the funds to renew them for 30 more days in advance. (not too much risk approach).

6. Rent as many referrals as you can afford and make sure that you have also the funds to renew them for 15 more days in advance. (risky approach)

7. Rent as many referrals as you can afford. (the riskier approach).

The choice is yours.

Remember that the FAQ the help page and the ToS can provide you with plenty of useful info.

    Admin edited message on 2013/03/25 at 17:36
    It was 5 years ago today that NeoBux in a very shy but determined way made its first appearance to the world.
    Little the world did know the amazing potential NeoBux would offer in the following years. We not only changed the PTC industry but we also marked the previous model as deprecated and rendered it useless.

    In our first 5 years we already set in motion lots of amazing new features that made PTC what it is today. Amongst thousands of features like instant payments, referral renting, properly paid offers, AdAlert, and AdPrize we also showed the world that being honest and most of all working for the user and not for ourselves was the path that everyone should go. Unfortunately most don't go that path and the few that do don't go all the way. I still believe that one day every PTC can give everything back to its users in an honest way. I still dream that a unified PTC industry would help thousands of people and change their lives for the better. While we actually don't struggle alone we're still making the largest part of the changes.

    You may wonder why we give almost everything to the users in an altruist way. NeoBux was made for users and every action we take does reflect that. The offers you make are entirely for you and your referrer. AdPrize is entirely for you being you a user and/or advertiser. These are just a few examples that count for tens of thousands of dollars per day that we give away.

    The way we do things is actually rewarding for us. We don't care so much about monetary rewards but instead we care about recognition which is something that makes our work look worthwhile and immediately shows that we have users who love us and appreciate what we have to offer.

    A simple example of that is that we're currently amongst the top 100 sites as per Alexa's rating. No other PTC has reached this high and that is a good way for us to know that what we do is the right thing. Sure, we're not perfect, but we strive to reach higher in our users' satisfaction and work towards such purpose.

    You know something? Without you all this couldn't be possible. Sure, we can give almost everything to everyone but in the end it's the way that everyone acknowledges our efforts that makes us proud to have such a great community which will only get bigger every day.

    Really, thank you ALL for what you are and for what you gave us. NeoBux without you would simply be a great but unused project. With you it's an amazing thing that, for as hard as I try, I can't even start to describe it.

    It's been 5 years and all our work is still starting. So many wonderful things will come in the future that when we look back in a few years from now we'll all wonder what our lives would be without it.

    We know we can't thank you enough but we can offer you something in our anniversary:

    Renewal discount on referrals for all memberships:
    30 days: 8%
    60 days: 13%
    90 days: 20%
    150 days: 27%
    240 days: 32%

    Discount on Golden Membership purchases and / or extensions:
     Golden  $15 discount = $75

    Discount on new Golden Pack purchases:
     Emerald  $5 discount = $285
     Sapphire  $5 discount = $285
     Platinum  $15 discount = $475
     Diamond  $15 discount = $475
     Ultimate  $30 discount = $860

    Discount on Golden Pack renewals:
     Emerald  $5 discount = $265
     Sapphire  $5 discount = $265
     Platinum  $15 discount = $445
     Diamond  $15 discount = $445
     Ultimate  $30 discount = $770

    The promotional period will end on March 28th at 16:00 server's time.

    The 8 colored flags let you mark your referrals.

    This is extremely useful when dealing with many referrals. This way you can define a color for each type of referral according to your own personal preference.

    For example, when you browse your referral's listing, you'll find some referrals which, according to your standards, are good, bad or average.
    Imagine you find 5 bad referrals on each page of the listing. You can mark them with the red flag, for example.
    Later, you can select to filter the listing only by that red flag (option is on the top left of the listing) and it will only show you the referrals you marked with the red flag.
    This way you'll be able to decide whether to recycle them and focus only on that particular group instead of all referrals.

    To change the colors of the flags, you have two options:

    Individually: Just click the flag on the referral you want and select a new color.

    Group: Mark the checkbox of each referral you want to change the flag color and, at the bottom of the listing, select the option to change the color of the flag for the selected referrals. Then, select the color of the flag you want.

    From FAQ=>Referrals=>Referral listing

    What's that slider with two points and with red, yellow and green colors?

    That slider is a tool to help you visually organize your referrals according to their clicking average.

    Once you set and activate that, your referral's listing will have colored rows, each with the appropriate color based on the average threshold you defined.

    The best way to manage the threshold is to let red be the ones with bad average, the yellow a regular average and the green a good average.

    You'll see two dots in the slider and a value on top of each one.
    This value will define the average threshold that will define the colors.

    Every referral with an average below the first dot's value will be marked as red.
    Every referral with an average above the second dot's value will be marked as green.
    Everything in between the two dot's values (including) will be marked as yellow.

    You can apply the changes in real time.
    Don't forget to save the settings after you've reached your optimum configuration.

    In addition to this, when you have the color filter activated, you can select referrals based on their color group. To do so, just click on the colored dot on the top right of the listing's header. Clicking it again will deselect all referrals in that group.

    ADALERT

    Simple and easy to use.
    Alerts you when new ads or mini jobs becomes available!

    For Mini job alert:
    Since all notifications for Mini Jobs come directly from CrowdFlower, AdAlert will need to access another site other than NeoBux which is why some (especially those who use Chrome) will get a notification that AdAlert needs to access more sites. Nothing to worry about since this is just a warning for your information.

    TABLE FOR RENT PACK PURCHASED + RENEWAL COSTS
    (use this table to help with budgeting)

    This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the image in full size.


    CALCULATION EXAMPLE #1:
    (renting 3 refs and renewing for 60 days)
    [ 3 refs x $0.20 each ref ]
    = $0.60
    +
    [ $0.20 each ref x 60 days / 30 days x (1-0.10) 10% discount = $0.36 each ref for 60 days x 3 refs ]
    = $1.08

    Total Costs to rent 3 refs for 60 days ( $0.60+$1.08 ) = $1.68



    CALCULATION EXAMPLE #2:
    (renting 20 refs and renewing for 150 days)
    [ 20 refs x $0.20 each ref ]
    = $4.00
    +
    [ $0.20 each ref x 150 days / 30 days x (1-0.25) 25% discount = $0.75 each ref for 150 days x 20 refs ]
    = $15.00

    Total Costs to rent 20 refs for 240 days ( $4.00+$15.00 ) = $19.00



    FEW MORE EXAMPLES:
    With a $10 balance you have many options to choose from...

    rent 25 refs renewing 30 days
    or
    rent 15 refs with autopay on
    or
    rent 10 refs renewing 150 days
    or
    rent 10 refs renewing 5 refs @ 240 days and 5 refs @ 90 days

    Select an option that best suits your budgets, risks and goals.


    RENEWAL DISCOUNTS:
    -Renewing for 15 more days offers no discount.
    -Renewing for 30 more days offers a 5% discount.
    -Renewing for 60 more days offers a 10% discount.
    -Using AutoPay offers a 15% discount.
    -Renewing for 90 more days is offers a 18% discount.
    -Renewing for 150 more days is offers a 25% discount.
    -Renewing for 240 more days is offers a 30% discount.


    NOTES:
    - It's a good idea not to renew too many
    refs at 15 & 30 days since there is no
    discount renewing 15 days and sometimes
    referrals can take more than 30 days to
    make a profit.

    - The longer days the refs are renewed
    the lower daily rent costs, lower BEP
    and the risks.

    EXPORT LIST

    Use the export list to keep track referral
    clicks longer than 10 days.

    It is usefull in studing the clicking patterns
    and clicking behaviors of referrals.

    Also best to creat your own spread sheet
    and customize it to your own preferences.

    schen2000 edited message on 2012/12/30 at 05:43
    STANDARD MEMBERSHIP UPGRADING TO
    GOLDEN MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS


    1. The user must have clicked (and been credited for) at least 50 advertisements.

    2. The user must be a member at least for 15 full days (15 x 24 hours = 360 hours).

    All 2 of these conditions must be met before an upgrade can occur.

    $90 Cost For Yearly membership

    To upgrade simply click on upgrade
    and pay the yearly cost with your
    main balance or from one of the
    accepted payment processors.


    GOLDEN MEMBERSHIP 1ST YEAR BENEFITS

    - $0.01 per your click (standard exposure)
    - $0.02 per your click (extended exposure)
    - $0.01 per referral click (standard exposure)
    - $0.02 per referral click (extended exposure)
    - 9 available ads each day
    - You can rent up to 2000 maximum referrals
    - Can rent every 7 days after
    you receive your last pack
    - Rent from 3 and up to 100 refs per pack at normal cost (how to rent)
    - Rent using (rental queue) 55 refs per pack 1.5x of normal cost
    - Extra graphs and stats
    - Automatic Recycling Chart
    - Transfer to the Golden Pack Balance Chart
    - More slots available for direct referrals
    - Upgrade options to a golden pack
    - 24% bonus for each $1 earned from Mini Jobs

    Golden Packs: Additional tools and features to add to your Golden Membership


    GOLDEN MEMBERSHIP 2ND YEAR BENEFITS

    Same benefits as 1st year plus...
    - Recycle Discount per Referral = $0.01
    - Monthly Payment Discount (above $0.24) = $0.01
    - Rental Queue = 65 referrals
    - Inactivity Days Free Replacement = 13 days

    Today I was thinking about the golden membership purchase possibilities. I noticed that there are 3 ways on how could I purchase the golden membership. The first is to pay 90 dollars for 1 year membership. The second possibility is to wait for some special days (christmas, easter etc....for discounts - usually the price during these special day is 75 dollars instead of 90 dollars what sounds better. And the third way I found on the upgrade button page where I can choose to pay 90 dollars or 30 000 neopoints for golden purchase. When I calculate that for every 1 advertisement I am earning 1 neopoint...for 30 000 neopoints I have to click 30 000 advertisements. 30 000 advertisement multiply by 0,001 (usually standard´s membership value for most of advertisements) it means 30 000x0,001 = 30 dollars earned from my clicks. 30 dollars instead of 90 dollars is really interesting. The difference is that it takes longer. But it is cheaper. For me it takes about 3 years + maybe some months more. But for patient people it is really interesting opportunity.

    It's better to avoid static/strict rules
    like recycling after X days of inactivity
    and/or below Y average are not the best
    thing you can do, because is like believing
    that all of your referrals will behave the
    same way.

    Keep detail track of clicking stat/data
    daily so you can study the refs behavior better.
    It is easier to make a recycling decision
    when you can see if a ref is clicking
    in a profitable way or not.

    Also read from this link #4. About Recycling for examples.

    Look at your referrals as a team.
    As long the overall performance from all the referrals
    keeps the account above BEP and in profit you're in good shape.

    There willl be some refs clicking above average,
    some refs around the normal average,
    some refs below average, and some
    refs with 0 clicks...

    Some examples:

    Usually avoid recycling 0 clickers or new refs
    give them at least 5 day or until you have
    some clicking data from them to judge with.

    If the refs haven't click for some times
    and close to the free recycling days
    (14 days of 0 clicks for std & golden members)
    you may let the system replace it free for you on the 15th day
    (just make sure the refs are not locked).

    The more rented referrals clicking data collected the better
    it may help you to determine if they are clicking in a profitable
    pattern/behavior or not for your account.

    Lets look at an example of a referral that is 5 weeks old:

    5 weeks ago
    4403044 = 19 clicks, avg = (19/7) = 2.71

    4 weeks ago
    0040004 = 8 clicks, avg = (8/7) = 1.14

    3 weeks ago
    0000040 = 4 clicks, avg = (4/7) = 0.57

    2 weeks ago
    0000004 = 4 clicks, avg = (4/7) = 0.57

    Last week
    0000030 = 3 clicks, avg = (3/7) = 0.428

    Total clicks = 38
    Overall average = (38 clicks / 35 days) = 1.085

    Notice that the overall average is still
    pretty high but during the last 3 weeks
    the ref is not clicking well.

    If your account is in profit you can be more
    patient and give this ref a bit more time or else
    3 or 4 clicks every week is not a
    very profitable pattern and maybe
    time to recycle this refs.

    There are many more examples but
    what matters the most is if you keep track
    of the historic clicking data for some times
    whenever you have doubt about a specific ref
    you can always look them up to see how
    they have been clicking and then decide if
    they need to be recycled or not.

    MANAGING REFERRALS AND AVERAGES FOR STANDARD MEMBERS

    The more days you renew referrals
    the lower the average is needed to break even.

    For standard member with 1~250 rented referrals the
    break even average (learn more about BEP here) renewing:

    15 days = 1.333
    30 days = 1.267
    60 days = 1.200
    90 days = 1.089
    150 days = 1.000
    240 days = 0.933

    For standard member with 251~300 rented referrals the
    break even average (learn more about BEP here) renewing:

    15 days = 1.467
    30 days = 1.333
    60 days = 1.267
    90 days = 1.156
    150 days = 1.053
    240 days = 0.983

    For example:
    with 50 refs the BEP is 1.200
    that means 50 x 1.2 = 60 click are
    needed on average each day for
    a period of 60 days.

    There are basically 2 ways that you can use to increase your profit margin in order to enhance your profit without getting more referrals and/or buying a golden membership:

    1. You can reduce the cost and therefore increase your profit margin by using a renewal plan for more days to reduce the average renewal cost per day in the long run. This way you can turn some unprofitable now referrals to profitable ones. In example with 0-250 rented referrals if you extends a referral for 240 days the price is $1.12 and this is equal to $1.12/8=$0.14 per month (30 days) while if you extend for 30 days the price is $0.19 per month.

    2. Develop an effective recycle policy based on the clicking patterns you will discover. As a rule of thumb recycle manually only when you are almost sure that a referral won't click again in a profitable way for you and keep always in mind that over-recycling may produce negative results.

    The detailed previous behavior of every referral is the key (try to spot recurrent behaviors to understand the clicking patterns). Example: You have a referral who is clicking 1 ad every 3 days and he/she did that 7 times in a row. That referral is clicking obviously in a non profitable way for the last 21 days. In this case you have a clear clicking pattern which is not profitable, has no chances to reach the auto-recycle limit and therefore you should manually recycle (personally in this example I would have recycled him/her at the 5th time).

    As you understand is strongly advisable to study the whole previous behavior of any referral you consider to recycle and therefore you should keep stats daily. If you don't know how to use the exported lists, then this post will help you a lot:

    Avoid static/strict rules like recycling after X days of inactivity and/or below Y average, because is like believing that all of your referrals will behave the same way which is not the case.

    As a suggestion concentrate on older referrals when you recycle, because you have more data to judge them as precisely as possible and remember to give always enough time to referrals (especially new ones) to show you what they can do for you.

    Remember always that the best recycling policy is the one you will develop yourself based on the behavior of your referrals. Since every account and referral is unique there is not a standard recipe that will work for every one.

    Important note: Do not forget to click daily the 4 orange fixed ads based on server time (see ToS point 3.7. for more info).
