I am not sure I completely understand how it works. I understand getting your own referrals, which I would rather not do, but renting referrals ?

I have not used this as I personally like the rule of thumb that you should not have to spend money online to make money online. But to my understanding you "rent" them for a period of time for a fee hoping to exceed the amount you paid in fee's to 'rent' them.

You are also right people do and don't participate on sites. So again what if the ones you are renting are newbies who might not like the program? Or are they people who have been there as long as you or longer? No idea. Again it takes long enough to earn why give it away? But some people swear by it, I'd rather keep my earnings in my wallet.

Thank you for the details. I am indeed doing swagbucks which I love because I do so much research and getting points for searching is just wonderful for me. I should have been doing that years ago, and I would have had a bundle of points added up. I do really wish I could get people signed up under me, but truthfully I am not a marketer type person. I hate the fact of pushing something on someone. And this may be I am sure why I will not be too successful at making a nice amount of money online. The stories I read are great and inspiring, but it's not who I am. ( if that makes any sense ) As far as the surveys, I have had no luck in doing. I spend time answering questions to only find out I do not qualify, so I got frustrated with that. I have found mylot to be very rewarding, so I will put most of eggs in this basket, and see where I can go with it.

There are many users who register without getting referred by anyone, so sites can give you these users on rent for a month or more so you can earn from them.For this sites charges you some money.

I am one of those that registered without a referral, so I am sure I am on the renters list, and someone is making money off me lol.
