This is for the people who have active referrals on here.

Lately I done a bit of a referral drive and now have 23 referrals. Probably about half of them are active and altogether they are making an impact on my earnings here which is really good but I have a question.
I have a way to help them get referrals and can pass on plenty advice to them to get them referrals but should I actively try and get them referrals.
Obviously anyone who asks me for advice I instantly give it to them but through getting them referrals I am earning no extra income myself.
Do you think that through getting them referrals I could be making them more or less active on here? I know that by having referrals here it is quicker and easier for me to make payout before the end of the month so I don't have to be as active myself so the enthusiasm kind of slides a bit.
Can anyone offer any advice?

good for you. mostly my earnings are from my own post. i have not gained yet referrals here. though i have many referrals on other programs. seems hard to invite people who will want to be active here.

Well you only have posted 4 things here so maybe you don't have enough love here for myLot yet to convince people how fantastic it will be.
Just keep trying and if you want you can check out the top banner on my profile page. That is where I get all mine.

Well, I guess if you help them get some referrals and their referrals are active, it might give them more insentive to be active, but then it might back fire on you, and they may be like you, and not so active as their referrals are making them money. You might be better off just getting more for yourself instead of helping them, so that you make more money for yourself. I would like to know how you are able to get referrals that are active. I went on a referral drive, as you put it, and I have 38 referrals but not one of them is active. Most of them, about 32, don't even have one response. And the few that do, responded only a couple times and have never been back since. In total I have only earned 6 cents off of all my referrals. I don't understand why all these people signed up and them haven't done anything with it, and have never come back. I didn't offer them anything for signing up so why would they bother. What is it you are doing to keep them active?

Thanks for this link and information. I will have to talk to my nephew to put this link in my banner, as he is the one who made me a banner with the other link in it, and I don't know how to do it. I will give your suggestion a try.

Claire, you are a typically generous 'Weegie', helping others to get referrals and earning more for themselves will give them an incentive to be more active here, and possibly also read more of your own posts (and perhaps their referrals will do the same), so that you could still be slightly better off.
Anyway, its not referrals that count, its active referrals, which can be difficult to get - if half of them are active then that is very good, from reading other members posts, only between 5 & 10% remain active for any length of time.
Obviously helping your referrals to gain referrals will only encourage them to stay active.

Eskimo my darling, thanks for the compliment and for the push to offer advice. The girl above you is a referral of mine and I just messaged her loads of tips so I did take your advice.
I put a girl called Laura on to you. Did you speak to her?

I only have 2 referrals. I don't try that hard to get referrals on here though. I would love to hear how you get them though. Might be useful in other areas too.
You could post a how to article on ehow. Then everyone could go read it and you would make money from it too. Are you even on ehow? I like them and they pay more than here. Much more.

They don't have a referral system. I just thought of something tho. I don't think they pay people outside of the US. You can still look it over though.
I would like to know your referral tactics still though. Since I am technically a referral. Just not on here.
haha.

Sweet, good going Claire. Where do you get the best results? I would like to try to get some referrals. I only have one and they're not active. :(
I don't know if you get people referrals will they become more or less active. I will stay at about the same activity, which varies, but I think I am doing okay and earning you some extra money on here, since I am in your downline.
Anyway, I would love to get three or four active referrals within the next couple weeks if possible!

Sometimes I think that we think alike! I understand completely where you are coming from! I think that you should keep doing what you're doing, as long as you enjoy it. I know you like making money, and I know you like helping people. Give bits of advice in discussions, and you can make off of it too! I have 22 referrals here, but only one is very active. I haven't a clue as to getting the rest of them VERY active. Do you?
