Why Only Few Offers are available for International Members?

I was just wondering why most legit and good money opportunities online are only available for U.S., U.K and Canada members only? Asian members like me cannot sign up on that certain site. That's why every time there is a new money earning site, I always ask if it is available for international members like me. I hope those members who had this great opportunities online could explain to us why. Your views and opinions is greatly appreciated here. Thank you!

I involve myself with writing sites and niche blogs. Blogger is good and you could create as many blogs as possible and monetize. Hubpages, Constant Content are sites which allow international members..I think due to the filling of taxes, which makes it a bit hard to open up to more countries. I might be wrong about this though. Luckily there's mylot and something is better than nothing. Oh yes, Helium site allows international too..I've been paid once. Hope this helps..

i guess it's all about products and items involved meant only for those areas mentioned. let's not think about discrimination on this matter. anyway, there are still lots of international sites that we can join even if those are located or maintained by people from those areas, just like mylot.

Yeah, it's only make sense, because most of the websites offering "real good" that only available in US, UK, Canada. It is actually good that local website from US, UK, Canada can provide international members. Just compare it to local website in other country, not only mostly in only restricted for local because limited area accessibility, but also because language difficulty (not english). I guess we all just have to be satisfied with what we had so far. It still good income, though not as much as people on those countries could earn.

Can you specify what sites you are talking about? Yes it is true that most of International members specially Asians can only earn enough or less enough in GPT sites. Like me, I am a blogger but since I don't have PC, I only earn a little but obviously even when I own a pc, I could still earn a little because they prioritize more on US, UK and Canada bloggers which is unfair for me.

The market forces drive this trend but slowly its changing. The number of internet users are growing exponentially in the East. More and more websites are now offering the earning opportunities to international users irrespective of the geography. Its only a matter of time I would say before it explodes in Asia as well.

i also have this question why most of those good earning sites not available to internation members so we Asian members have less chance to earn from online actually. and i heard perople said that's those sites are only conertrated on those developed country's customers so we have no way to earn from thre also.

Yea, very true. Especially survey/e-mail sites. Even though they allow international members to join, they won't give us as much surveys and e-mails to read and do. Another time is when i wanted to join IMreportCard. Just because i am from a South-East Asia country(Singapore, a small but developed country with super strict law) they reject my proposal because they fear that Asia members cheat. That's crap i think.(no offense) I just hope one day there will be a online earning site that lets you earn quite a lot even though you are not from the US,UK, and Canada.

Yeah. What you said is very true. It's so sad to know that most of the offers are open only for selected countries, mostly USA and Canada. IS there a discrimination?lol. Well, i don't know.

Hi there, I also an Asian like you. I also disappointed because many legit website just accept UK, US, and Canada member and some also block member from Asia. I think that because many spammer comes from Asia and that make Asia enter the black list of some website. I think like that. But I still happy because not all website block a member from Asia, just like myLot, it accept International member... Happy myLotting.
