Why do people think paid to post is too GOOD to be true?

I don't get it. Some people tell me getting money to post on a website is to good to be true. And I tell them it's not. People think making money online. or working from home.. is to good to be true. I think this is because everyone is conditioned to think they have to work for someone else. And that they have to do a job they hate. And that there's nothing they can do to change this.. because that's LIFE.. as they say. But we as people have so much potential and so much energy and power.. but we let it go to waste.. because someone else gives us negative ideas and thoughts.. and then we believe them.

Unfortunately there are tonnes of scams out there, therefore because of that people are brainwashed. They think if something claims to be free to join and to pay you for it "it must just be too good to be true". I realize that if you even join something for free, and work at it you are still using up time but if you aren't spending a dime for it, give it a try. I admit I used to have that mentality and I still do when it comes to certain programs. But sometimes you just have to give it a try. If it doesn't cost anything, reserve some time for yourself to give it a try. You never know, it may just NOT be too good to be true. You won't get rich here but you are posting and getting paid for it!

I am one of the "some people" who you are talking about.I think it is too good to make money online without any investment! It sounds some ridiculous! In this point, I suport your idea! But I diagree with the reasons you think why some people consider in this way! We do not believe it just becasue there are more and more cheating in ral life and on line! That is the key point!

Why I become a member of Mylot? Just beacuse I am curiose and want to see if I could make money without any pre-payment! The other important reason is that I found Mylot website is a good place for people to communicate. It is a kind of fortune to share the ideas with people around the world! I like it even though I make no money at last! ^_^ o(n_n)o

some people are just to skeptical to try something that is free. This is the same thing I do on other sites so I might as well get paid for it.

Sometimes people do not keep their options open and they cannot understand certain concepts. I find the same situation in mlm; some people cannot understand that mlm is a form of franchising with good income potential. I got paid my very first month in sfi without expending much effort. I expect an even bigger check this month. Getting paid for other than a normal 9 to 5 is difficult for some people to conprehend but do not let that deter you from seeking after your dream. Go for the gusto and keep posting. We believe in you at Mylot.

Most people think that it is too good to be true because they don't understand what is going on. Therefore they just assume that it's a scam and won't try it.

because some people can make some good money online posting in forums like this.. It all depends how much time a person spends on here and how much they type out.. If your only going to do a little sure you won't make that much but if you spend alot of time here and work hard you will be happy afterwards... I admit I do spend alot of time in this forum because I love helping people and I really like the fact they have answers that I am looking for.. If I didn't I don't think I would be here... However every one is different that's for sure.. So I am sure that is why people say posting at sites are to good to be true cause they are.....

I do not know the exact reason. when i first came to know about mylot, it was difficult for me to believe either. now i know Mylot pays. But i have seen most other sites either ask for money or they are scam.So I am only at Mylot.

Its not that easy to earn online.Websites give us refferral link to increase their traffic which aslo increases our earning if the refferrals work but the refferrals dosent work they just join the site and then they become dummy refferrals.I have 6 refferrals all are dummy they are of no use to me.

I have to admit, I was a non-believer until my daughter was born and I wanted to stay home with her plus make some extra money on the side. I started researching ways to make money online and actually started making some! I was shocked. I am in no way earning "a living" but I have definitely made a fair amount of money online.

i think it's partly due to the few knowledges they have of the website opreration principle. if they know it takes much energy and time to manage a website well,especially in starting time,they'll understand then. as we know,onlin earning is really tough at the begining,but easier gradually.it needs plenty of investment in forepart.

I get the same reaction from people. They say I don't know what I am talking about. That you can't get something for nothing. I try to explain to them that they are not giving me something for nothing. That I post and get paid for posting. I can see them turn their hearing off shortly after I am talking to them. I figure it is their loss not mine. I even mentioned to them that I have been paid twice already and if I hadn't been gone for awhile I could have had three payouts. So if people don't want to believe you can make money online that is their business and their loss. I like what I do and will continue doing it.

At first I was in doubt until I started getting money for talking on the internet. Then when the money came in..it spurred me on to talk to more and more people and it was all fun and not really like a job.. its all in your attitude. if you enjoy doing something then it is not work..but a hobby that makes you some money and it can be very enlightening too..Good luck..most people are used to chain letters and multi level companies where the only people who make any money is the ones on top..have fun and prove them wrong.

I completely agree with you NeoComp. I also agree with the many people that think this is too good to be true, because I personally have worked and this really is, too good to be true for me. I've never liked anyone I have worked for, but I've liked some of my actual work. Some people, who can't get out into the world and work with an actual 'boss', don't have to deal with what we do. I personally have been treated very unfairly by some of my past employers, and even my current one, and knowing that I can come home at the end of the day and 'work from home', with no one to tell me that I'm not working hard enough, or good enough, or that I'm lazy, or what not, really is too good to be true.
