Why do people fall for this?

When we try to make big money online we need specific skill/knowledge and not a lot of people have it. Maybe $0.1/day with (small effort) look small but if we join 10 or more similar sites (legit of course), we can earn $1/day. In some countries $1 mean nothing but in other countries $1 is good enough for earning without effort. Without specific skill and knowledge almost impossible to earn big money online .... that the key why a lot of people still join with low paying sites.

I agree with you that this "extra" money takes away more time.I have a regular offline job so i come on the sites when i have a leisure time but i find its not easy to earn from the sites.I have been doing this online stuffs for last one year and hardly i have earned $10/month on an average. People claim that they earn a lot from net but i understand they do lot of hard work for it.I think patience is the key factor here one need to be patient as one cannot earn from these from the first day it may take time but that's for sure they earn from it.

It has a very simple answer - Greed for money without much (hard) work attracts many persons to join such sites. They do not know that spending time on the site not commensurate with their efforts.

Because through money, you can buy anything that you want such as the luxury items that you've been dreaming all about your entire life. Thus, an 'extra' income would just be great to have even if it's too small to be generated for a monthly basis. Anyway, I know a lot of successful online money makers and $5.00 cash is just nothing to them.

Many online programs are scams. Probably only 10% or less are real money makers. Worse, you may lose money if you invest to the wrong programs. However, if you devote time, research and know which programs will earn you money then you will earn not only $5 a month, but far more...Like a month salary. In my case, I have already earned thousands of dollars and the money keeps on coming. Justbeenpaid is the only program so far that worked for me, and continues to work. I have a detail of this program in my profile, and some payment proofs to boot.

actually, i spend about an hour a day on two sites and get a few $20 checks a month from them. But they are the only sites I've found that you can actually see your points reach the cash-out limit ($20). If you want to try them here are the links www.toluna.com and www.mysurvey.com. Aside from these 2 sites, i totally agree with you about the stupidity of doing tasks for .05 cents, its ridiculous!

Actually, if you know how to work it on this site, then you can make $10.00 or more from this site. I have gotten several payouts so far, and to me, every little bit helps.

people who wants to deceive people..so that people will view their sites, sign up and invite more traffic..and people who are in need of money of course are deceived by those false hopes.

You are right the so call legit sites pay tiny !! But remember, only few people can really get rich , no matter what business you run. You just have no idea how to get rich in those sites, that doesn't mean the effort you've made is valueless. See the top members ? They really get hundreds of dollars per month.

You are actually who don't know why, these site allows to earn high income if you could refer and you should know to do it .

These sites are made by people that know that there are many stupid people out there, that will fall for the scams.The secret is,to learn from the first mistake,and not to continue making the same mistake,over and over again,in the hope that this will be THE ONE!!

I am on several sites. Some pay very low but I always make more than one cent a day. However on those sites, I do very little to earn the money so I am satisfied with what I am getting from these sites. Then there are a few sites that pay me better but I do more work on them. I feel that I have a good trade off. I am one of those people who does not seem to understand how to make good money online.

Hi blaqwynter. People fall for these promises because of the fact that we really need money. That is also the reasons why these company who are offering such too good to be true promises created their sites. Sometimes, on our eagerness to earn more, we forget to look deeply into the matter. That is the tactic these companies are using against us. And most of those people falling to these kind of act are those newbies. That is part of life. Hopefully, before these fellow find their sites, they find myLot first so that they would be able to acquire enough information before they come across those kind of sites.

In my own opinion, it's not bad to make some extra income during the free time we have. I think that nobody wants to be stupid enough, but there are times when even when we are called stupid, we can crawl and pick some fallen nickel below the ditches. I might not know the circumstances happening with all the people who are into making money online, but there's something that they want to accomplish and achieve. Earnings may start small but I think I don't need to underestimate small beginnings. The richest man in my country started too small, selling a pair of shoes in a day. It's not much as he slept in the sidewalks when he's unable to sell some of his stuffs. Now, he's sleeping in his mansion, helping thousands and thousands of people make money because he hired a lot to work for him. Good day and hope you're making much more than others do.

You are at a point I was about 7 years ago. I tried many things and nothing worked of the money I got was nothing... I could not even pay for the electricity I was consuming to get that money. Lucky me I med a guy who showed me how to do things to get results. It really worked and I made it up to $200 a month and I could have made it better but unfortunately my wife got sick so I had to stop working and now I'm somewhere about $50 a month. Last year I did absolutely nothing with my online business and it is still giving me money every month. Its not that everybody will make a fortune online but everybody can make an extra income to help paying for some bills for sure. The big problem is the lack of training of most of the internet money seekers. My faults were the same of all the rest who were failing online: -No patience: After a few weeks or less with no income I quit -No focus: Try 3 or more things at once -No persistence If you do things right, be patient, be persistent and stay focused on what you are on to. If you keep working on it you will make it happen....

I don't know what sites you are talking about but the reason why most people don't make money is because they don't want to work for it. Everyone assumes that just because it's online money, it should be less effort and time consuming. I don't know what country you are from but I'm in US and have had no problem finding legit sites that earn you money. I work for the money and don't just expect the site to give me money for nothing. I don't know about other countries, it seems like there are not as many sites available to them or maybe they are in same situation as others who don't want to put in the effort.

Money is important. Ask a person like me who is struggling everyday for a penny. So never say no to money however small. keep yourself engaged in making monmey till you feel you are safe./

Yes, online sites overhype themselves, but then so do a lot of offline businesses too! It is not always easy, but it is possible to earn a great deal more than $5 a month!!

Because, some people really make lots of money online.. Meanwhile, most people don't really know about how to earn money great online. And after they realize that they can't earn big money via sites that they currently join, they just accept that few cents - it's better than nothing, anyway. When I started to try earn money online, I was also being satisfied with few cents only. At least, it's real money on Paypal, and not only in sites' account balance..

Simply because people want to earn money in such an easier way so that when they encounter sites that guarantee them earning money and they probably get easily hooked by this. :)
