I don't know how to get my first referral. I have been trying really hard to get at least one! I even created a blog. I describe this entire site on it. Maybe I should try to demand more? What is your secret? I have like 30 blog views. Has anyone else been having problems getting a referral?

I have 2. 1 gets me a little change. The other hasn't done anything other than sign up. Didn't even try it. So yes I have problems getting referrals. But the thing you need is referrals who participate. If you have 3 good ones you can make more from them than many others with lots of referrals. When you spend 4 hours on MyLot.com and get rewarded with 18 cents it is going to be hard to get a referral to stick around. They truly have to enjoy it because you don't make money on mylot. You goof off, have discussions, make friends and relax. If I were trying to make money... I would be doing something different than typing on MyLot.

My first referral didn't respond to my message or the email I sent them. So I didn't have a chance. My 2nd referral is a friend who is a writer and like myself enjoys goofing off on mylot. I try to get referrals. I don't know if 2 in 3 weeks is good or not because I haven't been here long enough to tell. I would go as far as to pay people to try it. Which is my next step. 100 referrals bringing in 10 cents a day would make a nice $300 bonus when it comes time to get paid.

Coolseeds took awhile for me to get back on this one, but you would pay people to try it? I'm not sure how productive this can possibly be. Though, I did see a website that said it is 20cents for guaranteed referalls. It probably works out in their favor that the majority of referalls are not active anyway, but maybe you can try that out.

I understand that you would be doing something different to make money other than myLot. I am in complete agreement with this. I must say, though, that one must be tempted into to trying to make more money on this site. If for nothing else, then to challenge yourself. Maybe if you get a referal you can respond to all of their discussions and fake be their best friend in order to make money for them and to make the want to stick around longer. lolz. Just a thought.

lol no it is not really solved. I was just mad at some random gurlz cause they were being mean to me. I didn't hurt myself. lol I didn't destroy my jacket I just threw it in the back seat. I almost frightened you lolz didn't mean that. Someone will copy your pics and do something with it? What are you talking ab? If you just post a pic of yourself, say of your face, no one is going to steal it N start doing something with it. If you post a pic of you in a skimpy bikini, then that is a whole different story. In an extreme case, someone who hates you may try to create another profile of you, but this is 1 in a million, and even then wat is going to happen to you? The answer is nothing much at most. This is the perfect example of specualtion obsercuring reality.

haha! That sux for you :(. Yes unfair. UNFAIR. :(. This is just a thought. What if say, you get 5 active users together and create new names on myLot all of which are linked to each others refer system. Would this not work?

I'm not having any luck with referrals either. I've tried talking to my friends, mentioning mylot on other sites I use online, and so far no one has signed up. =( I hope you have better luck soon!

lecanis I am confident that an individual like yourself can overcome this stumbling block if you want to. You are like me. Your bright enough to take on a challenge, and come out on top.

Dont despair champ, were very much in the same situation. I do my myLotting in an internet cafe, where i get to meet or see different people everyday. I have sent most of them with invitations but hardly they move the effort in registering let alone posting. But this are the people that sometimes averages 5 hours just browsin & chatting, never gaining a cent on this activity. Some are even into myspace & friendster, likewise never gaining a cent. Its kind of frustrating sometimes with regards to skepticism, but i guess i just have to accept the fact that its just normal. Im working very hard that i may earn the minimum pay-out come payout day hoping that it would be helpful in convincing them to actively participate. I have some referrals already but hardly they even open up the site, let alone participate actively. In as much as the options for me now are kind of bleak, but i am very optimistic on this though. By the way i might message you one of this days, lets talk something good, just business.

Oh so it is just business lolz. Yeah, this is a nice post. You def cover some of the feelings I am having. I'm finding these people in chat rooms wasting their time N they can't even register for the site. They could make money, make friends, N participate in some good discussions. These people need help. I can respect someones decision who thinks myLot does not meet their needs after seeing what it has to offer, but it does meet many peoples needs! I'm so logical in giving the lowdown on this site N telling them that in fact it will help them, but somehow they all seem not to care. I do wonder the exact thought process that actually occurs with these stray chat room individuals when they are directed to my blog. Let's look at the facts. Obviously, they are viewing my blog N they must be bored to be in chat room in the first place. So, discussion hungry bored people open my blog N are given direct logic, but either refuse to give it a chance or refuse to read it because they think it is wack. I'm surprised by this entire process. I could rant on for about a week, but thats good for now :).

It's not easy I know but getting referalls from people that you do not know and then trying to get them to respond is also not easy. But just keep putting referral links on your blogs and maybe - just maybe! Have a nice day from Deeeky.

So, your telling me maybe my blog is not up to snuff? I should just revise my blog, and maybe I will get more refers? But, I just try to list the basics N don't lie. Maybe they see I haven't made a lot of money just yet N they think this site is not worth it.
