i joined a site that pays its workers based on what the employers post as jobs. it's quite okay and the jobs are easy but i have yet to learn on the tricks of the trade. but depending on the rejection and acceptance of your jobs, you get rated. once your rate drops really low, then you will not be able to accept any more jobs.
i accepted the job of a fellowman, i followed instructions and promoted their site. in the end, they rejected my job but then i could no longer retract the things i had done for them. they gained while i lost. it was all because they rejected a trick question in relation to our country.
but it was really a trick because the information or the answer could be long or short. i gave the short version. and my job was rejected. it was only a few cents but i feel bad because how could a fellowman do that and affect my rating when the thing is questionable. the fact that i gave the right answer even when the question was in our dialect was enough proof that i was not a spammer. and the sad thing is, i already promoted their site on facebook. i could only unlike the site but i could not take back the annoucements that i sent to my friends. tricky huh.
so anyway lesson learned. but then my rating dropped. sigh.

So lesson learned is that don't accept offers like a micro job that pays you measly cents to promote their site or sign up under them. Once your work is rejected, you will never be able to undo it, even if you complain such employer, as you said, you already posted mails for your friends and you have used your own account for it.
Just focus more on sites that pays better and be more tricky than them by promoting your site, rather than promoting others site for such a cheap pay. Don't waste your time anymore to such sites that asks you to do such work.

thank you strawberry. you are so right. after the effort, they don;t pay and declare that you did not do a right job even if you did. yeah lesson learned. the other jobs were good, except this one. and to think we come from the same country.

I understand your feelings. Personally, I feel these types of sites are more of scam sites than legitimate sites. Online money making is not that easy and that we have to take our time to scan through which sites are the best and the most safe before signing up.

Yes I agree with you some sites are fraud and scam. Sometimes we are complete the correct work but the site is says no this is not correct and rejected it. Only some site is true and legit. I am also joined some site as a workers but not paid me and say no reason only reject the work. This is a lesson to learn and I am suggesting my friends also.
