You can copy your unique link and share it anywhere. **Q: Is there a limit to how many people I can refer?** No. Refer as many people as you want. Each successful referral earns you $2.00. **Q: What if someone signs up but doesn't enroll a device?** You'll see them as a "pending" referral. The qualifying period only starts when they enroll their first device. **Q: Why is there a 7-day qualifying period?** The qualifying period ensures that referred users are genuinely interested in contributing to Fabric, not just signing up temporarily. It protects the integrity of the referral program. **Q: What happens if my referral unenrolls their device before 7 days?** The referral will be marked as "disqualified" and no bonus will be credited. The referred user's device must remain enrolled for the full 7 days. **Q: How long does someone have to enroll after signing up?** There's no time limit. Whenever they enroll their first device, the 7-day qualifying period begins. **Q: Can I refer enterprise users?** No, the referral program is only for contributor accounts (node providers). **Q: When can I withdraw my referral earnings?** Referral bonuses are added to your withdrawable balance after the 7-day qualifying period completes. Once credited, you can withdraw like any other earnings. **Q: Do I need to keep my device enrolled to keep earning referral bonuses?** You need at least one enrolled device to be eligible to refer. If you remove all your devices, you won't be able to generate new referral links, but existing pending referrals will still qualify and pay out. * * * ## Tips for Successful Referrals **Share on Social Media**: Post about your experience earning with Fabric and include your referral link in your bio. **Tell Friends and Family**: Anyone with a computer can earn passive income, especially those with powerful machines (gaming PCs, workstations). **Tech Communities**: Share in Discord servers, Reddit, and forums.
