I don't understand....

For the life of me I don't understand why people join a
program then don't even try to do anything with it. I have some
people in my downline who haven't been active from day 1.
I have offered to pay their way into a program where you just cannot
fail to make money, even gave them the name of the place to advertise and then supplied the ad to use. Then told them how to get 10,000 free leads. Are they afraid of success or what? Do you have any idea why anyone does this? Do you have inactive referrals that you just can't motivate?
What do you do with them?

I think for some people it's a problem of trying to do too many things at once. I know I've signed up for programs (especially the free ones) on a whim and never gotten back to them because I realized I had too many things going on already. There are so many different make-money programs out there these days, and people always trying to get you to sign up for them. I know people who actively participate in 10 or more programs, and I don't get how they keep it all straight. At this point I don't even know how many things I'm signed up for that I've never done anything with, because there are just too many!

You know, I have never yet had a sponsor in any program who actually offered me any help or advice. Perhaps that's why I'm failing so miserably with this "making money online" thing. In fact, so far I'd say mylot is probably the site I've made the most money from!

I have only heard from one of my sponsors. I used to get emails from her from time to time how to get offers to credit or giving me the heads up on new offers on a particular site, however now since I've done a majority of the offers I don't do the gpt sites much anymore so I don't hear from her as often.
I understand what you say about joining too many programs so I've been trying to remember to write them down as I join and add them to a spreadsheet that I've created.

hey I have a similar problem like this but i do not have much downline though. Still the few I have are just not at all active, I am still trying to activate them every moment whenever i get chance as I now some of their contact detail, but seems like no result. I think they think they will get the money just bu adding the email address to the site.....hahaha

Yeah me too. I have lots of refferals on mylot. But none of them want to work and make posts. So they are not making me much money. I need to get people who are money hungry in my downlines.
Well talk to you later. Have a great day, and make lots of money!!

I haven't a clue as to why they do that either I have tons of referrals that just don't do anything after they join a program. Me though If I join under them I try to stay active as I can even if it is to do something a few times a month at that site..my referrals join then do nothing from day one.. I have thought maybe they only join to shut me up or get me off their backs I haven't a clue but just like with TIB(take the internet back program You have to have 2 active referrals to be paid even I gave up early on that because I will never have two referrals stay active long enough to get a payout.. I guess we just let them be or ask them whats up! well I wish you luck with your referrals and maybe they will finally start being active..

The program I offered to pay is no longer taking VIP members so 278 missed out on that. But you can get the free 10,000 leads anytime and all the helpful software, e-books and tips at my website and blogs. PM me for more info and links.
You don't have to be in my downlne to get this info. There are no strings attached to any of it. Just sign the guestbook or sign up on the website for more info on getting free software & e-books. I will not email you untill I put more useful stuff on the website and then it will be only once a week not every day even if I do put something new on it every day..
Heres to your success

I am right there with you, I have three that join up under me and two of them I have no clue who they are and they joined two months ago at the same time and have never been back since they joined. And the third one is a best friend of mine and she said she wanted to join so I gave her my link and for the life of me either she has never been back. I have tried to delete them but that dont work. I just say to bad to them because they dont know what they are missing. Hugs!

I think it would be great if these programs gave us the e-mail addresses of our referrals to keep in touch with them like some do. Either that or the program use an autoresponder to keep in touch with them. At least they would be reminded of the program they signed up for and probably forgot about. Thats why some programs are big and some grow much more slowly.

Some people just have no ambition. They think that there should be a no work way of making easy money and that is just no so. I dont have a problem with inactive referrals i just have a problem getting referrals period. Like her on mylot i sent out i dont know how many referrals and i only have one that did it and he is inactive to say the least so i just do what i can do on my own and i am happy with that cant baby sit my referrals if i had any that is lol. Have a great day!

I do what I can for my referrals who are active and I am cleaning house of the ones who aren't. I will let them know that they are being deleted and wish them luck but I will no longer support them. After contacting them about 7 to 8 times I am giving up on them. It's better to be the owner and pay the affiliates to do the work...and you can do that too, at least you wont have to search for referrals.
PM me for more info about getting you own business , Yeah , it's free. A new free website every month. Or get free scripts to start your own business.
Good luck

Most humans get lazy or discouraged fast. They are followers, not leaders. That is the basic reason, in my opinion.

That irks me as well. I have 13 in one program, 4 in another and 1 in several others and I've written to them with no positive results. I offered to help them...nothing. Two of the programs I really would like them to do something as I can't move forward with my earnings until they do something. :-(
I don't have a clue as to what else to do. I sure hope someone can come up with something or better yet a way to get more active referrals.
