If you're unemployed, you shouldn't think of FC as being your sole source of income.... FC does take time, so you won't be getting rich with this site alone.
However if you put in time to being an internet marketer, then you can actually make some decent money. As an internet marketer, you basically advertise stuff and get money for it. You can work for a company that gives you a cut of the items that you sell for that company (eg Avon, Wildtree, etc). Or you can sell your own items online, either through some other website (like E-bay, iTunes, etsy, etc), or just by making your own site to handle sales.
But an internet marketer doesn't necessarily need to sell physical items. Some websites will pay you to have people join their web-site or purchase items through an advertisement from your site that points to their's. This is working as an advertiser or an affiliate for the site, and that niche of internet marketing is also known as affiliate marketing. The next time you go to some company's site (even a site for a brick-and-mortar store like Walmart or Target), look at the small print at the bottom of the page; often there are links to "Affiliate Marketing" or something along those lines that allow you to advertise these sites, and any purchases or memberships made through your advertising link will earn you money (either a percentage of the total purchase price, or -- esp for membership sites -- will earn you a set amount of money).
There is even a subset of affiliate marketing that involves sites like FC. With FC, there are no "affiliates" as such, but rather people earn bonuses from
referrals that they introduce to the program. Thus this new niche is also known as referral marketing. Now, even with getting ref's in FC won't make you rich or get you a lot of money right away; true, it's better than trying to earn it all by yourself, but it still won't earn you a living wage. The best way to be a referral marketer is to join several sites similar to FC that pays you to introduce other referrals to the site. Usually the amount you earn from your ref's will depend on how active they are as well as your own activity on the site.
Now as squirrelgirl44 mentioned, you may only make $50-$100 per month at a site like this. But if you couple that with other sites, those small streams of income can become a larger river of revenue. Say you earn $50 a month on FC. If you joined 10 other sites where you also made the same amount, all together you'd be making $500 a month. Being a member of 20 sites, and now you're looking at a grand a month, or $12K a year. And some of the methods for advertising these sites will take some upfront time to set-up, but afterwards you'll be able to reap the benefits of others finding your site and joining without you having to actively get them to join under you. For example, if you have a blog that talks about how easy it is to make money on FC, mention that it's free to join, and have a referral link on that page, people looking to make money for free may come across your site and join just because of the information that you had provided.
So anyone that claims you can get rich quick from FC is full of
but you can still earn some money through it. Many people treat this site as more of a way to make a little extra money, but others couple the income made from this site with other similar sites and can actually earn a decent profit.
