I find it amazing how a little investment will pay off!

While it isn't a lot, I have started upgrading in various sites I belong to. It was suggested to me by a fellow mylotter, but at the time I was not comfortable with the idea because I had very limited funds. After I started getting my SSI, I decided to stop being so stingy with my money. In some cases it has paid off; in others it did not. What I mean is I have started getting in payments every day even if it is only pennies. In a couple of cases, I think I made a mistake because I thought "oh boy, there are over 100 upgraded ads" but after upgrading, I found there were very few. Apparently most of them were targeted to other countries. In another case, there were very few upgraded ads and it didn't reduce the payout amount for upgraded members. I got some advertising on that site, but I already had lots of credits that I hadn't used so that one was a waste. I also started investing site funds on renting referrals on a couple of sites. I don't know yet if that will pay off, but we will see. I have transferred some more money into my paypal account so that I can get a few more upgrades and hopefully many more of them will start paying off. Before, I was always of the opinion that it was not worth upgrading, but now that money is not as tight, I feel like I can take the chance. If it doesn't pay off after the first month, then I won't do it again; but if it does pay off by all means I will continue. What do you think about that?

There is some sites I'm thinking about buying some referrals too with my money that I make there. I hope it works out too. I'm not going to upgrade until I get enough money from that site to do so. That way I use all of my earnings and don't lose out on my own money. I hope it all works out for you.

I think after this first round of upgrades, I will only use account funds. I know with some of the bux sites I did purchase referrals using account funds. I will wait and see how that works out. So far, it seems to be ok, but it is hard to tell. Thanks for the response!

Personally for me, I have never had success with a lot of these type of sites out there. I have tried paid with quite a few things and overall it never paid off. I actually prefer doing Network marketing myself with a product and an idea, and promote it in various ways that way. It for me is not making me a lot of extra $$, but helping others to be able to at least break even and help more is truly where it is at.

hello frnd, you are in the right path of making of making upgrade. But i suggest you not to make it before you do wat i say and now..when you make good number of direct refs at the site which you are abt to then ..compute the earning and then check you are making profit are not..then do it.
For making direct refs make a blog and keep payment proofs and then you will sure to suceed.

I don't know anything about blogging. How do I start? What do I put? Would it really help? If so, I will do it. I just need to find out how to start. Thanks for the response!

I was like you, I don't like the idea of handing over money to sites to upgrade or invest and I don't really have the funds to do it anyway. Although it sounds risky to me and I wouldn't do it (I can't afford to lose any money), I hope that you do make a bit of money by the end of the month and that then you will share the sites that you did well on for the benefit of all other myLotters. Good luck.

I might be able to mention the names of the sites in a discussion, but I don't think I could do any more than that. I am still trying to figure out how to put stuff into my profile because it never lets me add html. I don't know how else to add banners. Oh well...
