I am used to earning online without active referrals..you?

i don't get that. I don't understand how people think they are going to work online and not help others make money. I mean there a great programs out there. free ones and ones you pay for. where you can make some really good money with. but you are never going to make big money unless you have a downline. the important thing to know about your downline is they are people and you have to treat them as such. i make money with my current programs without a large downline, but to make the kind of money i plan on making a downline is the only way to get there

I have quite a few people under me at moola. They are active also, b/c I earn bonuses from them sometimes. I only active referrals on a few programs. And I have basically quit even promoting most of them. I am concentrating on my freelance work and Platinum one destinations. I want to be able to earn the most money from just a few online ventures. I still do moola each day and winzy b/c winzy is so easy to use. I also have stuck with mylot obviously. I have some articles up on ehow. I like that site too. I have quit logging into yuwie though. You don't earn enough there.

I do earn online last year without any active referals,, but its okay, we should not depend on others effort to earn for our own sake,, but of course a little help will do help if there is any,,

Yeah. I have the biggest part, no of my refeals have made me one dollar yet and although I did wish they'd post I'm not bothered. It's fun being here, I simple wanted to show them how fun this place could be. So I'm here and making the money by myself and my wife who posts who a few times. ~Joey

Yep same problem here - myLot for example I now have 15 referrals but have less than a dollar from them. I only have 2 referrals in other programs that are actually 'active' on those programs and funny thing is both of them came from myLot friends (one even has a couple referrals under them now).

Well I have recruited 17 members for my Hubpages program the last 3 days and about half are already creating articles that's amazing for me :)

I giveup trying to get referral for any website. people say they want to join and then they are not active. How many referrals you have for Mylot? I just wondered?

NO but it is hard to find good referrals anymore with everybody being busy.

Yes I agree it would be nice if all could be active. I think some people sign up for these things and then realize this type of work is not for them. It is boring after all. I am a referral for people so they got lucky with me as I am faithful to the sites that actually pay. I do have referrals on one site MoraTraffic..I am not sure how I got them but I did. However I think only one might be active and I get practically nothing of them. If all the referrals there were active I would then know what it is like for people who have referrals. I am a referral for a friend here on mylot,,I think I am her only referral but she likes it because she makes a little something most days even if she is not here typing.. actually she is never here but she will still reach payout soon. LOL I WANT A REFERRAL! :)

I can certainly understand your frustration. I don't know why people join things that they are not going to pursue. This is why I've decided to only be a referral for someone if they do the same. This way we help each other out, and most likely those that agree are the one's who are serious about earning some extra cash. And if the program they want me to join is not of any interest to me, I have no problem asking them if they have something else and tell them the types of sites I'm interested in. So far since I started doing this, I've had a higher success rate of referrals. Good luck in getting your referrals and succeeding online.

Walking into online work, I knew that I was bad at getting referrals (based on previous experience in the "real world"). So from day on, I looked at programs to see if I can earn enough to justify my time in a program without any referrals. I have misjudged a few programs; in the end, discovered that I am better off focusing on my writing. That is ok by me; that is what I want to do anyways. I have only succeeded in getting a few referrals here and there. They all end up being inactive, even when I am providing help. The basic attitude is that online work is too little money for too much work. And I find that I have a different viewpoint of some of the sites. For instance, Helium--everyone looks at that one by noting how little they are getting per month from just a couple of articles, without looking at what the same number spread over time and more articles would produce. I am still writing at Helium; my referrals are not. So it goes, As for Yuwie, which was mentioned in an earlier response, I just use it as another place to put up the occasional article link. Without active referrals, there is no way to make payout there in a reasonable amount of time. Note that my definition of a reasonable amount of time is open to question, I only made one payout here and one on Helium last year, and I considered both to be reasonable for the amount of time and effort I put into them. Of course, with Helium, I am playing the long game and here, I spend very little time and effort (mainly relaxing and warming up for other writing).

Hi stephcjh, Do you mind sharing the programs you are working with? I have had the same experience that it's kind'a hard to get active referrals, so I rely on what I can accomplish myself, specially by getting experience from people in communities like this one. You have a great day.

Oh yeah, I have I don't know how many referrals, at least 19-20 and not one has been active in the last 60 days..I am so very frustrated, I don't even know if they quit because they couldn't get online or if they didn't make as much as they though they would..When it comes to making money just for something like posting discussions/pictures, mylot is the tops..

i have reffered lots people to different sites and havn't really had any luck earning bonuses from refferals. i have only reffer people to sites i have been paid from myself and always try to promte the sites with correct details so they are not disappointed and know what to expect when they sign up. i also have stopped promoting sites i have no refferals to mylot

I have a problem getting referals. I do well just depending on myself. It seems everyone who is interested in the sites I do are already members. I have joined many sites using other names so that they get referrels. I hope they are making something off me. I think that if someone is nice enough to inform me of a site that I like they should get credit for it. I stopped worrying about getting referrels. When I do get lucky and get a referrel it is usually a site that doesn't pay for referrels. I hope that you get more referrels and maybe this year I will too. I am not counting on it but who knows maybe. I will just keep writing and see what happens. Have you tried buzzagent yet. This site may help you get a few extras. Check it out.

yes i as well expierence this. I have some sites were as i have referrels and sure they are active and they help me earn a little more but then there are other sites were my referrels sign up and then never use the site for they too as well think that it is a scam no matter how much i try convience them its legit and even when i show proof they still dont seem to belive the site pays.. its ok if they dont want to help me out a little, but why sign up if your not gonna particiapte

I do not have many referrals in any of the sites. I earn only the money from my work. I could manage to get only 2 referrals on mylot and both of them vanished without a trace. The problem is that many people I know do not work online.

yes so am i! i know that the fastest way to big bucks is through getting people to sign up under you. but for me, i find it difficult to get others to join. and there is so much cheating on the internet that any invite will be viewed with suspicion. for my friends, not all of them are into pay sites, so i have to do this all by myself! and i guess i'm proud of how I've managed so far all by myself. and when someone takes up a referral it's not always that they post prolifically. so i just enjoy doing things in my own time at my own pace, my own way.

Hi,stephcjh Yes,I think it's very difficult for us to earn money by ourself without referrals. So,also I'm looking gorward to some referrals.We can help each other.I can been your referrals of some sites of you,and in return you also become referrals of me in my sites.It's OK for both us. If you approve,please send me by messages.haha

Me too used to earn online with no ref or very few refs... it also depends non de site i join... if de payout is real i ll ref more friends . if the pay out is sometimes suspicious i don ref much... but still with no refs i am getting good cash.... but with more ref i make more money.. simple logic....
