I just wanted to let everyone know that I got my first referral today - after being here for a year! Took me long enough, huh? Yup, they signed up under me and I'm tickled pink! His name is arkie69 http://www.mylot.com/arkie69 so please make him feel welcome when you see him around, and feel free to add him as a friend. Thanks to all you guys who helped me find the right page to sign him up!

Kewl, Abbey, I sent him a friend request. Hope he figures it out and stays active. I have quite a few referrals but not one active. Welcome, Arkie, if you are reading this. :-)

Thanks drannhh, and also for sending him a friend request. I too, hope he stays active, he seems pretty keen. What a shame you have referrals but none of them are active; they don't know what they are missing, do they? This is a great site.

Hi! Congratulations that you finally have a referral! I saw one of his post recently while browsing for a new discussion. Hope he's active so you can help each other earn. Me, only 2 from the many friends I've requested just signed up, my mom and my brother. But I don't earn any from them. My mom isn't active. She just likes to play the solitare with her laptop. She hasn't even posted once. My bro on the other did make a post but to my surprise he didn't signed up under me. Would you believe that?! I even helped him signed up cause I thought he was signing under me. Oh well, I guess I just have to do all the work for myself here. Ciao! Again congrats!

Thanks iskayz! I have a feeling that arkie will be quite active here - at least I'm hoping so! He seems very keen. Sorry to hear that your brother signed up under someone else - that sucks, after all the help you gave him. Perhaps you could encourage your mother to post a discussion, and once she sees what is happening, she will get the MyLot bug! Thanks again.

Hey, congratulations! It is very difficult to get referrals and it is even more difficult to get 'active' referrals in your down line. I have had one referral in the past but not anymore. Even that wasn't active..lol. Congrats again, hope your referral does good on mylot, so he benefits and you too ;) Cheers

Thanks buzzmaker. I agree, it is very difficult to get referrals, so when we get one, we hope and pray that they will remain active. I am hoping that arkie will stay active; once he sees how good this site is, I'm sure he will!

Thanks gabs! I've never been too bothered about having referrals either, I just plod on by myself, but this one just came out of the blue without me even trying! I think that's why I'm so excited! I just hope he stays active. You did good getting 18 even - at least you have 3 who are still active. Thanks again gabs.

Oh? I've recruited 112. You know the sad, ironic truth though? A majority weren't really active, ever. The few that were are no longer active so I have... 112 inactive Mylot people that joined under me. A few might come back a little later on but I have no way of knowing for sure. I'm working on getting a new batch though. haha, I feel horrible. I make them sound like cookies! I'm very good at getting people to join under me. However. Apparently no matter how much I motivate them and say they can make money just by chatting, most end up telling me that it doesn't seem worth their time, or think that earning for posting is an unrealistic scenario, or quit because they post a bit and notice that their earnings didn't go up, not realizing that the earnings are updated daily even though I explicitly mention to them that it's updated on a daily basis. Ah well. At least I know I can bring people into a site. Maybe they'll all have second thoughts and i'll make a massive amount of money from Mylot! That would be nice.. although, I don't really see that happening. Anyways, G'luck to you & your referral. May you get more in the future, and may the one you have now stay active!

Wow, that is so sad having 112 referrals here and now not one of them is active. But you are still positive, and that's great! I hope my referral stays active, he seems very keen; when he gets a taste of this site, I'm sure he will stay - it's that kind of place! What's the trick of getting people to join under you? I find it very hard to do.

Congratulations! I hadn't even thought about doing that - I've told a couple of people to join up, but didn't do the referral thing. I hope arkie enjoys myLot!

Thanks guybrush! I have never really bothered about referrals in the past either - this one just came out of the blue. I hope he enjoys it enough to stay. Would you mind adding him as a friend? I'd really appreciate any of my friends doing that as it will encourage him. Thanks again.
