Are You Serious or Just Curious About Earning Online?

United States
September 5, 2008 2:33pm CST
I'm sorry but I just had to ask this question MyLot. Every day I come in here I see a number of discussions asking about how to earn substantially online. These are single mothers, people looking to supplement their disability income without affecting it, people from all walks of life. I see these discussions day in and day out. Being that I am part of an opportunity that you can earn $100s-$1000s daily with no out of pocket cost, that is open to people worldwide, I respond to these discussions. I let them know about the opportunity as much as I can without saying too much, making sure that I don't get the discussion deleted. I direct them to the first banner on my profile page, from that point its up to them. You would think that in an economy such as the one we have today, these people would be eager to at least look at the opportunity to see if it would be a fit for them. But this isn't what happens. Most of the people that post these discussions don't even comment on my response. I doubt if they ever go to my profile page. I say, only a good 10% actually ever click on the banner. And when they do, they never follow through in going to the conference call. I would understand if these people were looking at the opportunity and deciding it wasn't for them. But most never look. This causes me to wonder, are the people that post these discussions really serious about earning online, or are they just curious about what is out there? Are they even curious, or just posting these type of discussions because they know it will get them a huge number of responses? A person that is curious would at least look, IMO. I know that if someone told me that I could earn $100s-$1000s a day with no out of pocket cost, I would give the program a look, even if I never tried it. Who doesn't like free money? Like my Great Grandmother used to say, "Even a monkey will take some money, and he ain't got a pocket to put it in." So I guess my question is, is anyone here serious about making substantial money on the internet, or are they just curious about what is out there, and have no intentions of following through?

Well I think you are right in what you say here, and I reckon I am one of the guilty ones that says they are interested and then never does anything about it. This is not because I am not interested more that a lot of the time I forget, but also I am just really skeptical about everything. But as soon as I post this response to you now I am going to go and take a look at the first banner on your profile page and see if it is anything for me.

As many people have told me, there isn't much information on that site. Most of the information comes when you submit your information and get the reply e-mail. That will change once the new site is up and running. I can't wait for that to happen; that is coming with a new program that we are starting on Monday that will get money into people's hands faster than before. When you submit your information, I will send you a link that will take you to the recording of the conference call we did with the old system, so that will give you a feel of what we do. If you are interested then, I will send you an invitation for our live conference call on Monday, where we will unveil our new system.

I did fill out the form before. I did not receive anything in my email, it may have gone to spam, or I deleted it. The top of that website has fuller brush, and many people think of having to sell something. I am not keen on selling either. So when the email comes to you, who is it from? fuller brush? A lot of times too, people do not like to look at anything when the information about it is so vague, and you have not shown proof that you are in fact making that kind of money. Just like my husband tells his friends who want him to get involved in their ventures, "show me the money, then I may get interested"

I will admit, I have made only gotten one payment with this program to date. That is because it seems that everyone I run into is too skeptical to even get the information from the call. I listened to the call, and I saw the value in the program right away, its just hard because there are so many scams on the internet nowadays. There is proof that the program works, we have a blog that I can direct you to once you submit the information about the program. Once you sign up, the information will come directly from my e-mail to yours. You are right, it could have gone to your spam folder, or not even been delivered, especially if you use Yahoo or Hotmail. Are you going to the right site? There is no information about fuller brushes on my site, maybe you are looking at the viralurl bar. That has nothing to do with my site, its just a way to get more views. I will give you all the information you ask for when you sign up, even a recording of the conference call that explains how the system used to work. Its not much different now, we are just unveiling a new system that puts money in members pockets even faster. I will be able to show many payment proofs then.

[i]HI drknlvly, I believed most of those wanted the easiest way to earn ! LOL! I have encountered those topics everyday and it's always unlimited....LOL! I don't bother dropping there because I don't like to be deducted again..I know we have old members who are posting just to warn them if ever they are not reading the guidelines but I am not sure if they are really interested in learning! Anyway, I admire your effort to help them earn as you do, I know one day, they will realize that there is no such shortcut in life, we need to work hard to earn! LOL![/i]

Well I had a look at your banner but the page would not load so I have no idea what it is about. I must say though that I sincerely doubt any site that promises to make you lots of money for nothing. I do not invest in sites because I have no money to invest in them. I try and make a little doing surveys and things to bring in a little extra income. I also tend not to believe the claims that people make about huge incomes. First of all most of these schemes require a talent for selling. If you do not have a salesman's mindset then you are most likely not going to succeed. I do not have this mindset and so I know to avoid most of the mml schemes etc. Secondly these schemes are sort of pyramid types since you need to have lots of referrals under you signing more people up etc and being active to make you more money. Also requires a salesman's mindset. There are thousands of people using traffic sites to try and get other people to join sites under them so they can make some money. The problem is that just getting referrals does not work if these people do not participate, you need active referrals to make money which is why so many sites now offer to sell them. Catch 22 since that requires money. So if you have money to invest then there are ways of making money but you cannot do it for free.

Well actually, marketing and selling are two different things. Selling is where you are pushing a product or service, and marketing is where you create a relationship with a person, find out what problems they are having, and try to solve them. But I completely understand what you are saying. If you have no desire to do such a thing a business where you have to do exactly that is a failure to you before you start. I strongly believe you should do what you love in whatever business you choose, that way when you are working at it, it doesn't seem like work to you. I still want to check back with you once I get my new site up. Hopefully you can help me get the word out there to other people that I can help with cash flow problems.

That is the point I was making. It does require marketing ability. I have none. I am not talking about experience, that can be gained if the person has the skills. I am talking about the marketing ability, the skills to be able to market. I do not have this ability and no amount of teaching would give me this. My partner on the other hand does have these skills and he knows that I do not. He has guided me in avoiding anything that requires skills like this. It is simply not in my nature. I am quite sure he could do it except that it is not an interest he has any more. He has done some marketing in his time. He once used to do Amway and he was good at it but he does not have the drive to go out and make money like that. I don't think I do either. Yes I would like to have more money than I do but I do not want to be rich. I know that sounds odd but I think being rich has its own problems. I would like to be more comfortable. If I was not ill I would be out working and I would be content with that. One of my problems at the moment is that I used to earn over $50000 a year but the job made me ill and now I am on welfare because I am sick. I still feel sad that I am no longer earning but I am sure I will get over it in time. I certainly will not risk any of the tiny amount of money I currently have and I not only do not have marketing skills, I hate marketing so I know that I should stay away from things like that.

I'm not realy in it for the great amount of money, I just want enough for a monthly subscription to one or a few games that I am interested in. other then that the extras will be just useless until I use it to pay for another month. If I was making like 100$-1000$ a month I would probably stop after a few months and just feel happy that I have a bit of money I can spend online. So I guess I'm a little bit of both.

Hi drknlvly! I have a friend here who has explained the program in great detail to me. I know it works for her and it is one of the reasons she is not here so often now. As you say you have to put in some effort. I have not enough time now. My online earning ventures are only a hobby, second to everything else. When I will have more time I intend joining. I feel that there are two reasons that could answer your question. Many wnat 'quick and easy' money and can't wait to get it tomorrow - indeed they even want it yesterday! They think online is different from offline. They think everything is effortless and quick. So they don't even bother looking. The second reason is that no-one believes, as said above, that a big amount is possible. I believe that you get out of something depending what you put in. My friend is doing very well for her efforts. If you do nothing you will also earn nothing. Just my opinion Happy posting!

I think as soon as you say you can earn hundreds or thousands a day, most people will do an immediate about-face and head in the other direction. No one believes that you can make that kind of money without considerable time and effort, and of course certain skills. Exactly how much are you making? (Oh, and I DID look at your banner, saw what the url was and decided to pass - I've seen it before)

It took me a long while to give this program a second look for that very same reason; but if people would investigate this opportunity a little deeper, they would find that there are payment proofs of exactly that, and also that we train each and every person the skills needed to attain such a feat. You've seen the url before? You must have been looking at the cloaked url. The actual url for my site is my own, and I doubt you have seen it. Oh, and you are right, it does take time to do this. We ask that you give our system 90 days in order to see results. It does seem long in this right now world, even to me since I am only at about day 40, but the good thing is I'm not paying for anything while I am working at it, so I don't have to worry about making that money back. I have only received one payment from this system to be honest during my time here. But I am working hard at it, and expect more in the long run. I will share each and every one with you as soon as I get them.

I am curious to earn money online, and myLot would seem to be the first one to do that for me, if I do indeed get a payout then I would really jump with joy , well anyways... in response to your post I believe it's because people think it's too good to be true, plus the fact that there are so many scam sites out there... people are getting tired and start giving up hope. One more thing is, almost if not all of earning money online sites use referral program to actually earn money which is really really a hard thing to get, myLot is the only site I know that can help you earn decent money even without a referral.

I consider myself to be pretty serious about making money online although it is not my primary job. I work a standard work week and I also attend a college class each semester in hopes of graduating, but I am constantly trying out different things and getting a feel for what does and does not work. I'll find something that works for me and hit it hard when I find it. I've discovered that if anyone knows a way to make a lot of money they will never share it with you unless it either makes them more money, or it in no way hurts their own ability to make money which is pretty rare. I'll stick to what I'm doing now and keep learning.

Trust me you aren't the first person to say that about the website lol. It was made that way because we wanted to show people a simple site that anyone could do. Soon, we will have a totally different site that the founders have put a lot of work into. The grand thing is, we don't have to create our own websites. The founders are giving us access to a choice of websites they have created, which should be up by Monday. We can create our own website if desired, its just not necessary.
