Honestly, I focus on both — they each serve a different purpose in my strategy.

I go after referrals because they can lead to long-term commissions, especially if they upgrade or stay active. Building a downline definitely helps with passive earnings over time.

At the same time, I make sure I’m earning or buying enough credits to keep my affiliate links in rotation and get consistent traffic. No point in promoting if no one’s seeing your message, right?

So for me, it’s about balance — referrals help with income, credits help with exposure.
What about you? Are you more focused on building a team or just blasting out promos?
