>Referrals are a great way to lose friends in a hurry
It depends on how you do it. Some referral (and affiliate) programs explicitly forbid you from advertising your referral code or affiliate link (Uber is an example, they'll shut your account down if they find you advertising your referral code on the internet). Others allow to advertise on AdWords/Facebook/Whatever, the problem is that many people don't have the ability to quickly calculate a cost/referral to make advertising work. You could gamble on spending and assume someone uses your link, but you might end up wasting your spend.
- astrange 10y agoI see people spamming their Uber referral codes all the time on Facebook. Usually comes as a post saying "Uber is offering free rides for this event, here's a first-time coupon code!" with their own referral... Lately I've been seeing people actually handing out Lyft business cards with codes outside conventions, was wondering if those were actual employees or just really motivated referrers.
