We all want to stay away of scam sites! Therefore, those sites that we want join are already well known by a lot of people. We know that there are a lot of scam sites out there and a few legit sites. Do you still join a site without knowing there reputation because you want to see for yourself whether they are paying or not!? Sometimes, i would take a risk in some sites but those sites that could have a reachable minimum payout and a justice rate. Dont post referral links in this discussion!

I usually search information about the site first before I register or I make sure that I have a fellow of mine who encountered the site to make sure I am not wasting my time. It is really hard to earn money isn't it???

I have tried a lot of sites. I have been scammed and I have learned a lesson. Nowadays, I am more cautious in joining sites. There are a lot of sites that are too good to be true. Earning 4 digits in an hour without much effort is a big question. I also research feedbacks about the site. In this case, those scammers will soon vanish because people are getting aware.

My sister was scammed big time last year. Ever since then, I've been very careful about the sites I look at. I will try to find a review of the site before I sign up for any of them. So far there haven't been too many positives.

Hello lockheart, Crocket here. AS I have said before, there are plenty of people running legitimate businesses out there that are trying to scam the public. I invested in the futures stock market once and lost five grand in two months. Talk about scams!!! Anyway I got over it and moved on. Now I am trying to be a hit song writer and have fourteen albums out. I can't seem to find a record label or a good publisher so far. Most of these companies all want money to listen to your songs. I know that it doesn't seem right but that is the game that you have to play with them. Crocket.

Personally there have been things I have joined just to see if I too could make $$ in there, and then there have been many I have researched as well. Now I am getting really leary if a site asks for $$, and will stear clear from those for sure. I have been Scammed before from quite a few different type of sites, and do have a lot of sites I have actually earned quite a bit from as well. I think overall, it is a matter of Trial and error, but we also need to remember just because your Best friend Joe is earning $10 a month somewhere does not mean you will unless you are willing to work for it as well.

Yeah. I agree. Get to rich scheme attracts a lot of people yet few of them turn out to be a scam.

sometimes i dare to take a chance to try out new sites without even knowing the reputation... i actually did it couple of times and the sites actually do pay... so i am very happy about that... until now, i am still using those sites that i just happen to try out by chance and they still pay... take care and have a nice day...

I have joined a lot of sites and schemes in my time but I stick with very few of them. They have to prove their value to me for me to dedicate my time. I don't mind trying almost anything but the one I have stuck with longest is Yuwie. They have always stuck to what they said and though it's not a 'get rich quick' scheme they have been consistent. There is a link in my profile if you want to have a look.

I have spent so much time in the past using sites, only to see them disappear. I have given up on these sort of sites. I only join sites that people I trust recommend now. I don't have enough time to spend working on sites only to have them disappear.

i did still join a sites, but after i know their reputation. eventhough if i didnt know, once i found out that they're a scam, i will cancel my account fast coz there is no reason to stay there longer. but u know what ? firefox is great..it has a WOT. WOT is an Add-On that can show us if a site is trustable or not, has a good reputation or not. trust me, it's good. once, it shows me a red circle, means that site was bad and untrustable site, or it might be a scam. so i could closed it quickly.

Yes of course! There's no harm in trying right? Taking risk is part of life, if we want to earn money. Now, I only join those sites that listed in gptbank because I know it will not waste my time. Happy mylotting!

Uually I will sign up for sites if someone I know on mylot or Gather or another site I am on recommends something or mentions it then I will usually sign up. I will also try to give people referals if I can. But I have signed up for a couple things that I just came across while surfing, a couple of them actually ended up to be worth it.

I will often gogle the site and check for reviews on it or check consumer review sites and myLot also for other's experience with the sites before I join... You can never be sure though..other's opinions of a year ago may not be the same today with the economic crisis

No, I never join a site without doing complete research. I have never invested in site. All the sites I have tried have been free and still I am skeptical. I have found a home here at MyLot and like posting and earning a few extra dollars as well.

I am lazy, so i don't join any site and work on that site untill my friends say that they have got payment from that site. Well in that past i also tried some sites on my own but i did not get payment so i decided not repeat that and i stopped making experiments.

Usually before joining a site I do research first, i dont want to waste my time in some site which is not paying.
