This is the easy way to recruit others to your programs using these kind of services you can have 100 referrals within one month or even earlier but do this work?Personally I have tried this and failed share your experiences if you have done this.

Put yourself in the place of the person on the other end of a service like this. The service is paying people a small amount to sign up as referrals so all they are interested in is earning a few cents for doing so. They couldn't care less about the program itself and they will be very unlikely to be active as your referral, especially in a program like MyLot (which actually requires some WORK ... not to mention a reasonable knowledge of English). Very few programs will pay you for just signing up referrals (or, if they do, there's a catch to say that the referral must have shown some activity before you get paid). Buying referrals (or visits to a blog or page views or anything similar) is a scam because they are NOT selling you what you need (although they promise no more than you get).

It's not just "pretty true", it's an absolute, economic fact! I doubt whether any program will pay $10 per referral. I have seen $1 (and even $5 per referral BUT with the condition that the referral stays long enough to cash out). Such things are usually a scam, however. As always, THINK why they are doing it. NOBODY has money to throw away. If a program is offering a bonus for gaining referrals, it is because they need more members and one of the best and cheapest ways of getting GOOD members (who will earn them money) is by word of mouth. The program you seem to be talking about (which gives $10 to sign up for the program) - I could be wrong, but it's the only one I know of at the moment - is JSS Tripler. That $10 is a 'starter', just like gambling programs offer a free amount if you join them. You will find that you can't earn any profit from that $10 until you have invested some real money. It works like a discount system or any 'money off' scheme. Nobody REALLY gives you $10 for free. The money to pay for it comes from increased membership and therefore increased turnover and profit (and therefore, ultimately, out of YOUR membership!). As I say, don't be fooled into 'buying' referrals for any program (there are a few exceptions, such as 'buying' referrals in Neobux, but that it entirely different). The ONLY good referrals are active ones. You will NOT get active referrals from the kind of program you are describing. Such things are a complete waste of money.

OH that is nice workout.And yes I am talking about jsstripler but what I have in mind is suppose one is joining me he will get $10 from jsstripler which once invested start earning him $0.20 everyday for 75 days and yes when you reach 60 days or $12 they are going to take back their $10 lent to this person, but the position will continue earning the daily income till it reaches 75 days so at last the person is left with $5 as pure profit but he can not withdraw this because of the limit.Here the twist is at that point if I give him $5 and he continues to earn the daily $0.20 and as the administration is saying that this program is definitely sustainable..so this person can start building income slowly and also will know how it is working.I do not know whether this offer will work.I am also personally do not recommend huge spending on buying signups but a little investment to earn a little extra is ok.If you ask me this is business sometime we profit sometime we loss basing on our calculations.For me I have already got back triple of my investment from this program so now recommending it to others with confidence.

Thanks for sharing,and what you said is pretty true...But if some program is giving $10 to signup for the program and when that happens to be a free program do you think this will work.

I will only do this for websites that requires sign up only but not for referral programs because you can only benefit if the person that you referred is active.

perhaps you are right I have tried with this our own mylot and horribly failed..not a single referral got this way is active so lost all the money invested...but I do not know any program that pays to just getting people in even if they do not do anything.Is there?

Wazzub is just one of the program though still on pre-launching stage. According to the website, you just earn through the members you sent to their website. We are still waiting and see what happened when it is launced on April.

for me,it's hard to get referrals especially if you're friends are not interested,that's what happened to me.i'm having a hard time to promote my link on Facebook and my friends keeps on ignoring it.But i won't waste money just to buy referrals and earn just a few cents.That's why i gave up signing up to those sites who needs referrals.

yes it happens I can say it from my own experiences,but interestingly sometime people are reluctant to get into free programs too.

Normally these signups only work for free programs and they are absolutely worthless as they sign up to get paid, not to make money with the program or offer they sign up to....
