Part III - Managing Your Account as a Free Member
As with any business opportunity, expenses play a big role in whether or not your are going to show a profit. So, it is paramount that you understand what your expenses are and how to minimize them. As far as Neobux goes, expenses revolve around renting and maintaining referrals, and upgrades. The last part of this series deals with managing your account. So, in this post I'll just discuss what kind of expenses that you may encounter on a daily basis.
Referrals - The goal with Neobux is to max out your rented and direct referrals. To be honest, you are not going to make much money without them. When you click on your required ads each day and your referrals click on their ads, you get paid for both. One thing to keep in mind is that your rented referrals make you $.005 every time they click on a golden ad while you make $.001 when you click.
The number of rented referrals that each user can have is relative to his/her type of membership/pack as follows:
Standard
|
Golden
|
Emerald
|
Platinum
|
Sapphire
|
Diamond
|
Ultimate
|
| 300 | 2000 | 2000 | 2000 | 2500 | 3000 | 4000 |
The rental price for each referral per month is:
| Referrals | Monthly | AutoPay |
| 0 -> 250 | $0.20 | $0.0057 |
| 251 -> 500 | $0.21 | $0.0060 |
| 501 -> 750 | $0.22 | $0.0062 |
| 751 -> 1000 | $0.23 | $0.0065 |
| 1001 -> 1250 | $0.24 | $0.0068 |
| 1251 -> 1500 | $0.25 | $0.0071 |
| 1501 -> 1750 | $0.26 | $0.0074 |
| more than 1750 | $0.27 | $0.0077 |
There are ways to cut the expense down for referral extensions. One way is to extend them for more than 15 days. The renewal price is always based on the monthly rental prices shown above and you can benefit from the following discounts depending on the renewal period you choose:
| AutoPay | 15 days | 30 days | 60 days | 90 days | 150 days | 240 days |
| 15% | 0% | 5% | 10% | 18% | 25% | 30% |
Autopay - You can activate AutoPay to extend your referrals' next payment date. On the first click each referral makes per day on the required ads, you'll pay to keep him/her for an extra day according to the above chart. This is a fast, easy and inexpensive way to keep your referrals. The catch here is that if your referral's renewal time falls to 20 days or less the Autopay feature will be turned off for that referral.
Recycling - You can recycle each referral any time you want to. If your referral is inactive or just clicks a few advertisements per day you can replace him/her with a new active referral. The cost is $0.07. Neobux also offers free recycling for any referral that does not click on an ad for 15 days.
AutoRenew is the automatic renewal process of your rented referrals. AutoRenew works every day and prolongs your referral's deadline based on your chosen renewal period and time before expiration.
Before enabling AutoRenew, 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.

In addition, the amount of direct referrals you can have goes from 30 to 200. These can be increased further depending on how many days you've been registered, all those days, minus the first 30, will count towards a limit increase. This means that the older the member you are, the more referrals you can have. The amount will be based on your current membership/pack and the days you're registered (minus 30). This amount will vary and is explained below:
- Standard/Pioneer = Days-30 divided by 4
- Golden (without a pack) = Days-30 divided by 2
- Golden (with a pack) = Days-30
- Standard= 30 + (300/4) = 105
- Golden = 200 + (300/2) = 350
After upgrading to golden, there are 5 other upgrades or packs. The chart below shows the upgrade types, features and costs.

You don't need to purchase the highest pack right away as you can start at the bottom and make your way to the higher pack by upgrading packs. One thing you need to be aware of is that upgrading won't extend your current pack expiration date.
| Upgrade from | Upgrade to | Price | ||
| Emerald | Sapphire | $40 | ||
| Platinum / Diamond | $260 | |||
| Ultimate | $690 | |||
