Trusting newbies on making money online discussions?

Philippines
March 24, 2011 11:21am CST
We all know that newbies here on mylot usually posts things that is against TOS especially on money making sites. They usually post referral links or promote scam sites and they try to make us believe it is legit! BUT some of them MIGHT know more in earning money online than we do. So my question for discussion is do you trust newbies as much as you trust old timers here in mylot when it comes to making money discussions? Or, like me, when you trust old timers much more than newbies here in mylot? I'd like to hear your opinions on this subject.

Well it depends if those newbies are asking me to join a particular site where I need to invest money and claiming that there's a good chance that I'll get profit from it.. Of course I won't trust and won't even join that kind of site. But they just invite me to join a free site where I don't need to pay single cents to earn and the earning rate is not too good to be true if I have time I will take a look and join the site or any money online opportunity they recommending. Before, when I was also newbie to earning online I thought every free site is legit but I was disappointed to discover that most of free sites that promise to much bigger than legit sites are scam, now I learned lesson that I have to observed and try on my own so long first before I recommend to other people.

Intellectually it is easier to trust old friends like you than to trust a new member. When a new member gives a quality response or start a good discussion, I often check the profile to know more and see what he/she is promoting -- if there are banners --. A problem of making money interests at myLot is that discussions are often deleted, and that some valuable new members are leaving the site : it is more true for those who are only active in these interests, where we lose every week some good members. The response to your discussion is that I trust some -- not all -- old members immediately, and that I need to do a small investigation before trusting a new member.

Anyone who uses MyLot just to spam others is annoying, and yes, people both old and new users on this site sometimes violate the referral link rules, but the thread will usually be deleted anyway.

If someone is making money online and can supply enough "proof" they are doing so, it really wouldn't matter to me whether they're newbies or veterans. Simply saying a certain online opportunity is a good or legitimate one, is not enough to make anyone sign up to it, since as you mention, many newbies are only looking for referrals and will make the opportunity sound like a great one, even though they themselves are not sure just how good,or even if it's legitimate or not.

I am a newbie.. But you can trust me.. The thing is, there's a possibility that these people are not aware of what they are doing.. The should have read the TOS first before doing anything else. On my part, I would like to learn more.. I'm here to become part of discussions and get some advice.. I would like to share beliefs and concept.. Depending whether you are a newbie or not.. You should gauge it well.

You will learn many things here in mylot that's why I decided to stay even if the pay is too low. I am here for the infos and for fun, not the earnings.

Why would you pay attention whether it's a newbie or not. Whatever program there is out there, the only way you'll find out if it's legit is by checking it out yourself. And only then, once you see that the program truly is legit, you can sign up through the poster's referral just to say thanks.

Because most of those who have been earning online have been a long member of mylot. Not all, but most.

I trust my friend at mylot more than people I don´t know. Not all of the old mylotters are to be trusted either. I don´t trust much people whose only interest here is money, no matter how old they are. I also check a newbie profile now before I accept him/her as a friend. I have been spammed many times and I have lately put an end to it.

I am not into making money online, so I do not really know which one is legit and which one is not. But I will go by trusting my long time friends.

Lol you have every right to be skeptical, but not all ofo it is BS, my friend. I`ll be honest. I have a referral link, but I make sure to post proof and even tell people to look up the various reviews on the site. I preach real shizz and if you dont like it, you can ignore my post buddy. :) Doesnt bother me any, because I get my check.
