Generally you can spot the people just trying to get others to join by the amount of posts they have. the people with fewer posts just seem to come here and basically say THIS IS THE BEST SITE EVR YOU WILL MMAKE THOUSANDS. Those are the ones that obviously are just trying to get referrals. if the person isn't willing to explain to you what you need to do or take the time to respond to you then why bother.

I want to believe that most people here are wanting to help people but I understand the need for to get refferralls. I also know that I spent many years trying all kinds of different sites to make money and I wish I had the expertise of people like those on my lot. I think it would have saved me alot of spam and money down the drain.
So now I try to help as well as work on getting a few referrals. Let me know if I can be of assistance.
I have at least two sites that I like one which I get as a referral and one I don't. '
Feel free to pm me if you like and I will share.

Hi valeria1. After several years of doing get paid sites, I know how frustrating it can be to work toward payouts only to run into problem after problem. I joined MyLot because I could see that others were actually sharing their experiences, good or bad, and it's really helped me concentrate on the sites that are working for me and avoid the ones with problems. In the year since joining MyLot, I've been able to help others in the same way with tips, observations and updates on the sites I participate in, but I do this without expecting signups. The information is freely given for anyone to read, whether they're an existing member or not.
I work with others to help make extra money in these sites, but I always try to find opportunities that don't cost anything to join and earn. Getting refs in these sites really does help, so when I find good ones, I pass that along, along with payout proofs whenever possible. Whether a MyLot member joins me or not, I like being able to point out sites that DO pay so others can benefit if they're interested. Luckily, MyLotters like to share their successes and I have been able to find several good sites for my collection after hearing they've been paid already.
I also try to find new sites to help build on my succeses and in those cases, I prefer having the help of experienced members. Sometimes, with their help, we can quickly determine if a site will be legit or not before passing it along as an option to our less experienced friends.

You're going to find both kinds of people on mylot. I've found that the ones that are active in various types of discussions are the most reliable as far as recommending legit sites. Most of them don't actively promote their sites, they just have them in their profiles. If anyone has a question about a site, they ask, and people that have had experience with that site respond.
As someone else mentioned, beware of the ones, even in the make extra money section, who do nothing but say go to this site, or check out my profile. They are the referral seekers, and they might be legit, and they might help their referrals once they sign up, and then again they might not be.
Stick around a while and see who's being friendly to other people then check out their profile. Chances are they have a site up that they're making money from, but they're not trying to snag every newbie that floats by.
Happy mylotting.

Well, anytime I send a suggestion, or idea to someone who is a Member here, I make sure it is from something that has paid me, as I am the leary one as well. I know how easily it can be to be SCAMMED online, or join a site that never pays, or quits paying you before it really gets going as well. So all I can say, is when trying to find other things online to do that also pay, being selective is one thing that never hurts as well.

Obviously everyone wants referrals but I like to help, I have been paid by websites and if people want to be paid then they can join i post proof on my site so the people know it is legit i only join sites with proof it is their choice to join either way, i have a school loan i am paying i can't get my diploma until it's paid for so all the money i am making is going towards my "debt" and i'm full of debt, sadly!

Depends my mood.., lol. Just kidding!
I'm very big on the helping part, but I will admit that in some cases I am in fact looking for a referral too. I only try to post up the sites that i've been paid with though, or sites that i'm confident will pay or i've seen others payment proofs with and yeah.
I also only ever send people links if they ask for them. I will never, not even once post them in anything I post up on Mylot! If they're interested in a link i'll give them it in a PM. If not, I won't pester them about it. If you're one of those who needs help feel free to send a message my way. I like lending out a hand in any way I can!

A combination of both I think. Some do genuinely seem to want to share their success stories with others, while others just want to take advantage of newbies. You can judge for yourself by looking at the link. If it's a link to the site, then it's legit; but if it's a link with a referral number or code attached, the person's just being greedy. Hope you don't get suckered in, valerial. Good luck with making money online. It's slow but very possible.

In most of the sites that I have been too, I would have to say that it is about 50/50. Most of the people though that are just looking for referrals have only been trying to do this for a short time.
But you will find those that run their businesses and downlines on a one on one deal. Build the rapport with people, get them to know you so that they will be more inclined to refer you to others. That is the way it should go.
