I am so mad. I can not believe that some people can be so mean. I showed some people how to make money on internet and in return i got something unthinkable. They just did not used me as a referral. I am not mad because they did not made me as their referral.
When i asked them you joined those sites, why did not you made me your referral. Did you made one of your friends a referral. Some said yes. I said then it's ok.
But some people said that i have not made anyone my referral. When i asked why? They answered why should i make others money. is there any benefit for me making them my referral. I thought i should slap each of them for this comment.
You would not believe but they are not an individual but a group who share this thought. They even did not make their friend as a referral.
Then i said one thing to them. By not referring someone you guys became a slave. You don't want to make money for your friends or someone who helped you. But what will happen someone else will buy referrals and you become a slave. They will buy you as a slave. I think it will make you feel better.
So tell me did i said anything wrong to them?

Darksorrow, I'm sorry this has happened to you. There are jerks everywhere, so myLot would have to get its share. Still, may I suggest that they got even more from you while all you got was aggravation? They have you so upset that you're giving them all sorts of energy they don't deserve from you. Karma will take care of them, as always, and you can just relax in the knowledge that you did the right thing, and they didn't. Rise above it, dear. They're not worth your efforts and so many others are!

Thanks for your support my friend. But since i am from a country where people don't know much about money making, i am just trying to help them out. SO other youngsters can get some pocket money without asking their parents. I will continue to help them out whether they are worth my effort or not. Because it is an opportunity that everyone should take advantage of it.
But one thing is for sure when you get yourself an active referral it feels great.

I know what you mean here as I have been through it too. This is why I prefer to just promote my sites through my blog instead of asking people directly to do exchanges. If someone proposes a site to me then if I'm not on it I'll join using their referral (and by now I know who I can trust to sign up using my ref) but in the past I was bitten like you.
It is so sad that people don't want to 'help you earn' after the trouble you went to to point out a trusted site to them.
The more time you spend doing online ventures then the more 'bad' things you will see believe me but it is no use wasting time thinking about these things, just move on.
Good luck and carry on as though nothing happened

Don't be angry
As you say, if it works out for you then DO it without thinking to much about what others say or think about what you are doing.
Many are willing to help and learn - others are envious because they have not got what it takes to make a good job of anything,
Take care!

I do not think that you have done anything wrong. I have seen a lot of discussions about cheaters and I really think that it's a very low thing to be. I hope that you will find someone who will be your referral and will actually not be nasty to you! I appreciate this discussion, I hope you Have a very Wonderfully lovely day!

Hello some cow oppps somecowgirl lol you are right. Actually i am in search of referrals since i have started money making a few days ago & need referrals to get some money to finance my future earnings. Without referrals it takes lot of time to reach payout. We all know that.
Thanks for replaying.

I don't have any referrals and I did not join as a referral of anyone else....at least I don't think so. But I don't remember how I found out about this site. LOL.
Choosing to sign in without being a referral is and should be each individual's personal choice. Some people just do not believe in this kind of thing. It is very much like multi-level marketing in the sense that the money is made more on the people signing up below you (referrals) than it is on selling the actual products. Personally I do not like those kinds of businesses having been part of some many years ago.
Another reason they might not have chosen to sign up as a referral might be because they don't fully understand the process and how it would help you, and later on help them if they have people sign up using them as a referral. If they do understand, so what if they didn't want to do it that way? Yeh, it didn't help you any, but, look at it this way...if they are your friends, chances are you will have a lot in common with them and therefore have more discussions to enjoy responding to and making money that way.
Either way, it is their choice and it is a risk you take when you invite others to sign up. Why let it upset you?
Referrals for me isn't going to be a big thing because I don't know that many people online to invite to join. So it doesn't bother me at all one way or another.

No, not really. I find it a waste of my energy to get angry at things like that. I used to allow myself to get upset about all kinds of things, but time, health issues, and age has changed all that. I don't get angry much about anything now. It has to be something really serious for me to get angry--such as an injustice, abuse to a child, or something like that. Nothing else is worth it to me. When I allow other people to get me angry or upset, I find I have allowed them control over a part of my life. Again, it isn't worth giving away that control, or expending my energy on such things.

Actually the people i am talking about i have educated them enough to understand what money making is all about. Again i am not upset because they did not choose me as their referral but their cheap mentality that they even did not used their friends as referral.
Don't you get angry with such kind of people?

How do you become a referral of someone you don't even know? Did this person spam your email to get you to join?

It's nice to hear that you made someone your referral even you don't know who that person is. I hope everyone have a good mentality like you.

I think some people don't like the idea of being your referral even if you have truly been the first person to refer them to a specific site. I have come across some people like this. THey will absorb all the information and help that you give them, but they will bypass your referral link. I believe in 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. It's unfair, but you just move on. This is one reason why I love mylot, you don't need referrals to make your own money. I think the unfair thing is being bought as a referral. I would rather sign up under someone that I know than be bought as a referral and have no idea who the referrer is. Good luck

Well, as you know, anything in making money online requires having referrals. i always join something i'm interested in by the person that told me about it. It can be very frustrating to learn they didn't use you and went with a total stranger. I know how you feel because I'm a salesman and when my customers go somewhere else to get the same thing, it just makes no sense. Keep your head high and hope that their sponsor doesn't take care of them. I always try my best to take care of mine.

I had at least 5 people ask me for a site yesterday and not one used me for their referral. Pretty poor effort on their part. I don't understand why people do it, it doesn't hurt them at all and at the very least they could at least say thank you for giving them the information. But they didn't, and I kept the list of all of them, and won't be sharing any more tips.

As i said they like to become a slave rather than being a referral who is giving them the opportunity to earn more. I think slavery is best suited for them.
