Hi. I have been earning online for 5 years now and have referred a few people to my paying programs that I am joined with. some of them join and that is it. They do not do any work even though they say they really need to earn badly from home. I have spent alot of time sending the site links to alot of people but have not earned hardly anything from them at all when they join under me. It is frustrating and time consuming referring others when they do not work the prgrams they join. Anyone else experience this?

wow, you are a great earner, hope you can invite us to those earning escapades that you have and I hope you can share those links to us. I just hope it will accept members fromt he Philippines, coz i know many sites dont accept anyone from the Philippines. I dont know whats the reason behind, but surely discrimination is one.
have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I have given up on the referral part of my work, I get a few here and there, but I am usually paid on the quantity and quality of the work that I do, which works much better for me. If I have to depend on the work ethic of others I will be broke wishing to make money.

Right. I know exactly what you mean. I can't rely on referrals because most of them join and never work the site at all or some won't join under my referral link because they are afraid I might make a penny more than them, it seems.
I have also given people my programs that do not pay a referral fees, and they still do not join. Some join and never work the program but still say they need money. It makes no sense LOL.

I gave up referral earnings and i gave up trying to convince people to join under me. Well there not many people i know that are knowledgeable in the internet business and when i invite my friends or officemates they just join but do nothing.

I know exactly what you mean. I am earning pretty good money online without referral earnings. I can't rely on referrals. Alot join and never do anything with the sites. alot fo the sites are easy to do and I tell them I will help them if they need it. I have spent alot of time sending my referral links over the years for nothing LOL.

I've never really needed referals, once I tried to build on it but I find it pointless.
Some expect to much, some don't have the time but join and then disapear and some just don't open they're eyes. while I think if I could, I would but I'll save those who aren't a member the chance to join alone or by someone else.

Hi Joey.
I know what you mean about referrals. I have referred many people but most won't join under my referral link or they join and never do a thing with the programs. It would be nice to have a good active downline in one or two programs to help boost my earnings, but I have tried and it doesn't work.
I am earning by myself and it is pretty good, but it could be even better if it worked out better.

Oh yes, this is my problem too. At first I didn't quite get how to get referrals in the first place, but then I got my first one for mylot 2 months ago and she has done nothing at all. I even have sent her a few encouraging messages to get her motivated and offered my help if she needed it. Not only is she still not active, but she didn't even reply to as why or that she even got my messages...

I know exactly what you mean. I have 17 referrals here and only 2 of them are active. Most of them joined, didn't accept me for a friend or anything so I can't contact them at all.
It is very easy to earn here and all they have to do is type. They say they need money but they won't do anything to get it. It drives me crazy.

Makes you wonder why they even sign up.. I admit I have signed up for some sites and because there was a problem, either it wasn't for me, or it wasn't paid through paypal or something I just didn't like about it, I do contact my upline and explain why I am not active and even tell them when I delete my account and why. I think it is just having regards for that person that I signed up under..

Yes. Same here. I have joined some sites with good intentions and then found out they were not worth my time after a while. I do not have a problem joining under others to help them out, but it just never seems to come back to me the same way. I have joined and quit alot of programs over the years because I find better paying ones and don't have time for the smaller ones.

Yes. It has been a long time but I stuck with it and now I am earning fairly well with the programs i am joined with, finally. I really like earning online and all of the prgrams I am joined with are free and very easy to work. I have referred 17 people to Mylot but only 2 are actively participating here now.

You are right steph, it is hard to get referrals, I have been on here for going on 2 yrs, I can't get no one to join, people just don't have the time, everyone are not into the computer like we are. I only had two people to join here but they are not active, it is like not having no one, because they don't even participate.

I know marcie. It is unreal but some people have huge active downlines and earn very good money. I earn a decent income by myself, but I should be earning more by now. I have 17 referrals here and only 2 are active. I hate it when people say they need money and they either join and don't do a thing or the don't join at all. Instead they spend all day emailing and playing games online. It makes no sense.

I have found it difficult to get people to join and then when they do join, they do not seem to be active at all. I dont understand why because they could make some money but they seem to loose interest quickly.

Same here. I don't understand why they say they really need money and you spend your time sending them the links to join to earn and it also helps us out too, but then they don't do a thing with it. It makes no sense and it wastes alot of my time and frustrates me.

Yes. I have had some people join some of my sites but they do not do a thing and some do very little to help make a difference. I don't understand because alot of them say they need money but they won't do the easy things to get it.

Hi marcie. I should be making more than this though after trying to get active referrals for about 8 years. I am still relying on all of my hard work by myself. It is alot of work to do but it is worth it. I just wish I could get a little help from others. I try very hard to do that but it won't work. I have terrible luck. I hope you make alot this year.

I know what you mean. I have some referrals but most are not active. I have also sent my referral links to others but they won't join under me.

I wanted to have a lot of referals but didn't find any active so all I've earned I have it from my work.
Could you send me the link of the program that you are making a lot of money as you say in here?

Yes I have, and it is frustrating..so what I am going to do, is just start refering ones I have met and befriended from other pay sites...I meet new people every day,some I have become close with.I know the are actually doing something with the maoney from home biz, so it is worth a shot.Something you may concider :)

Hi. I have tried just about everything. I have even referred family and friends and they say that they need money, but they join and do not do anything in most cases. It drives me nuts. I wish you luck.

yes, tell me about it. mylot is my second paying site that pays for your referrals, but in both places, my referrals join do a little bit, i earn a few cents from them and thats the last i see or hear from them. i try to send them messages of encouragement to not give up and keep trying, because its slow in the beginning but it pays off later. theres only so much you can do, i guess you just need to find that right person who will be active and help you make money.

I know what you mean. I have a few referrals here and there but it does not really help me any at all because they are not very active at all or some just joined and ran from the site without even trying. The sites are so easy to earn from and pay very well, but they just spend time joining and never return to do anything. They all say they need money but won't do anything to get it, LOL.

I have been trying to earn money via online since 2 years. But only this month I have been serious about it. Because it is only during this month that I get my own computer. but I hope to earn this year. I just don't know how to. My knowledge is limited.
