Is it worth paying to advertise your ref link?

[sabotag3x]

Long short story.. I found some satoshis at MellowAds, maybe from 2016 when I had a faucet..

For some reason part of the amount was locked to withdrawal, maybe it was from Mellow faucet itself, idk.. So I decided to spend it using my ref link..


I got 5 referrals

Actually, it depends.

Since it does not actually harm your wallet, you can have a test run if it's effective.

You will just know the result in the long-run. Maybe come back here and update us on what happened after a month or so.

^ Definitely right, running ads in a short period of time will not that short will have immediate effect. Most commonly it will take time before you will reach the goal of advertising your ads. If you notice in the gambling section there are a lot of gambling lists compilation that they want affiliation in certain gambling sites, they spend effort and time just for their referrals ads. Just hint a try, who knows that is profitable someday.

Context counts considerably, advertising works with a relevant audience but overall people will skip something that doesnt especially interest them or even they dont understand is definetly a skip most of the time.  So its varies, a specific demographic will have far higher likelyhood of registering interest and trust of that product imo.

It depends on what you're advertising. I've done some campaigns to promote faucets and gambling sites and I've had a lot more success with faucets.

You're not allowed to withdraw the free credits you get from Mellow Ads faucet.

Way back to 2017 during ICO hype, it was easy to attract the new members via aff links but the situation has changed to worse due to the less reliability. In the long run, the numbers will tell you if it is worth to continue or give up. Unless you have an empty place on your website/blog, it is worthless to continue advertising, IMHO.

agree with that. you cant see the effect in short period of time. the longer time of exposure, the better. as you dont know exactly what kind of audience you will get, you are only relying to the chance that somebody will use your referral link. and that is you still dont know when. so yes, after a month or so, check if you can get a considerable number of referrals

Every referral won't get you revenue, but it has the possible chances to get you something. With this it is always suggested to advertise referral link. Maybe one in ten click and land into the page. If the user himself finds good surely he'll suggest at least to a person. That too can create revenue.

But if you only rely on your link ads for a long time for me it's a long wait, there will still be many who rely on these references but is this effective in the long term? As far as I know this will be forgotten if it is for years but for influencers it will be very easy because they have so many followers that they can be counted on in these references.

In the context of the advertisements that we run in your reference, this will result in gambling, but in others, gambling is not so much interested so it will be very much generated later.

OP's question just got a simple answer. For it will be effective, we don't know. It needs time.

Of course in the process, OP should also consider adding or continue to purchased ads for their ref link if he is eager to spread his links.

There are people out there who put money on these spreading links. Meaning depends on what's on the link, it's effective by any chance.

[Wexnident]

Well, you weren't able to withdraw it anyway, and seeing as it's just sitting there, spending it for your ref link seems like the best way, plus, it's going to return the same amount in the long term if possible anyway. Although tbh in my case, even if ref links were advertised I would still choose to actually visit the site myself via links I found and not the ref link way, just making sure that it's safe and I'm not risking my machine from getting infected by weird-ass viruses. Especially since I learned back then how even google just accepted money and didn't really study the ads that they are showing, thereby sometimes showing ads for scam companies and the like.

[ralle14]

Sometimes, it's worth spending on ads if it doesn't cost that much or if you're getting more than what you paid for, one example would be the ad slots in the auction section. I also agree with STT it depends on what you're going to promote and you can do in other ways as well like giveaways or contests.

This should be moved to service discussion section since it's about faucet referrals and not about referrals in casinos.

I'm talking about casinos..

I tried before to to some different website, gambling or non gambling sites which I try to advertise my referral links first and those profits there, that's the one I will use in the website, like you gamble it or invest it somewhere (this is one from Ponzi scheme before which is accepting cryptocurrencies).
This kind of action is extremely good and favor on some famous, like you got lot of followers in some social medias or some people who are willing to register under you.
But I don't think this is much use or common in gambling sites, the points or profits you will gain in referral links are kinda small and when you bet it, the risk is also high.

[crwth]

I had thought about this when I first experienced the "ad clicking" industry and those ads that view videos for marketing purposes. I see it all around the website in which you could pay more for referrals, to some extent, improving your efficiency and having more "ads" to view and seeing "how to earn more" in that sense. I have no experience in this, but I don't think it's going to be effective just because of the viewership as well. The ones who will earn is the one which you paid.

Gambling might be a different story though, it seems that more people who are into gambling could be attracted to certain kinds of offers. Maybe you could get the right viewership with the right demographics.

I focused on Asia because it was cheaper, 50% off.. I don't know which region has more gamblers, I should have done some research before starting the ad campaign too late..

I agree, some youtubers/et al should earn more money from referrals than from the platforms..

[aioc]

It depends on the project you are advertising and the keywords you are using you are targeting to gain more views and clicks it does not only apply to mellowads, all the other advertising company as well there are many factors that is why you have to experiment and see what will bring a better results in the long run, but it always pays to advertise.

Not a bad choice, I think Asia have a lot gamblers too from China, India, and Singapore.

You need to be popular and have unique/interesting offer if they sign from your ref link, I believe many people will sign up under your ref link. You need to put in math to calculate both of how much you earn and how much you pay. I think it's profitable if you put it for long-term.

[Genemind]

It depends on where are you going to advertise and for how long. When advertising, you should choose where many people will see the advertisement or else it will not be worth it. In my personal opinion, I don't bother looking at advertisements or pop-ups when browsing, and I am not sure if it's really effective or worth it to advertise.

I see some people in youtube advertising their referral link in gambling platforms and giving away a certain amount if you use their link. This could be effective but referrals from gambling platforms work only depending on the amount deposited and bets made by those who used your referral link.

This is an old article but it seems that Australia has the top "losses" in terms of gambling. Maybe this way you could find the right demographic or something. I can't seem to find the right article by how much gambling players in a continent or something. You could try to check on that when you finish your campaign.
