Please don't recruit me!

Why is it that everyone I meet on the Internet instantly tries to recruit me into their downline or attempts to sell me their products? Whatever happened to simply chatting online or making friends?

I promise I won't try and sell you anything, I don'r have anything to sell so your safe. I know what you mean though, it seems the all mighty dollar is the on;y reason a lot of people are loyal to and use any way to get people to part with theirs... :)

If it's any good to you, I won't try to recruit you, and I do answer most of your discussions! =) How's your posting doing? Have you reached your minimum today?

Thank you for asking! Yesterday I met my quota and more with 60 plus comments posted. Unfortunately it only paid $0.72. That's not much money for two hours work. Funny thing is that I made a dollar from taking a survey about KMart yesterday afternoon from one of the survey companies listed on my Make Easy Money Online blog. And, that only took ten minutes to do. Definitely, it would seem that I need more money making opportunties like that one.

I've seen a lot of people using mylot as an avenue to expand their link or look for potential downliners. Maybe they are shooting two birds with one stone.

It never hurts to do that! It's a real time saver.

The Internet is just like the rest of the world...there will always be some who will attempt to take advantage of a person who tries to show them some kindness/attention.. It is a shame but unfortunately true....

I have the same feeling! I am totally neutral about being on someone's referrals' systems but the fact is, I prefer to be friends more. I prefer to share knowledge on what works and what doesn't work, instead of being bombarded by all the referral links and messages. I just want to simply chat and make friends around here. But I am glad that I don't receive those messages too much and I have made some good friends around here.

this things is happened almost to all people that looking for online earning, they want to make a friendship and introduce us some programs that can earn money from internet. also a lot of my mylot friends do this, they add me as a friend and offers me a program with referral links.

Everybody has their own intention and goals in life. If I were you I would just ignore those type of people because they thought that's what they should do. As long as they don't disturb you in real life, I mean offline I think you should just let the grudge off your mind.

I think in today`s world everyone is trying to make money on the internet.Some do and some don`t.The ones that do aren`t talking and the ones that don`t are trying to recruit anyone they can get in their downline,which could be good or bad depending on the site you are joining. I do quite a few programs on the internet but i will not try to get people to join if the do not want to. And you are right,it would be nice to meet new friends for a change and just chatting. Have a great day! dusty6
