Do you have personal friends who are also earning online?

I don't have any. I don't think my friends would find earning online as a time-worthy activity. They have their own jobs and maybe their salary is good for them and they don't need extra cash. And maybe earning online would not fit in their busy schedule. That is also why I don't have referrals here. I have invited some but they don't seem to be interested. Do you have friends who are also earning online? Did you invite them or did they invite you? Is it good to have personal friends while earning online?

good to hear you find it fun to have a personal friend as an online friend. But it got me thinking. If I would have a personal friend here online then I would be a little conscious of what I post because that friend would see it. Have a nice day!

Hi richiem, Yeah, I know what you mean by being consious of what I post, but my friend and I are very close and what ever I put in my discussions she know its truth and I know all about her as well, so there are no problems. Tamara

I think my friends are busy with their own lives and I don't think earning money online would fit in their schedules. I think earning money online takes a lot of time to earn really good money. Have a nice day!

No my friends never seem to be interested. Even after I have proven I found a way to make extra money.. I guess they are all independantly wealthy.. LOL

I have a couple of friends who I got to sign up under me on mylot even though only two of them have actually done anything on mylot,one of them gave up because he makes more at his job then he can online,and one of them is not dependable and even though he does not have a job,does not do mylot,one of them who refuses to do mylot does do other sites online to try and earn money,since he also has trouble holding down a job ,because he either gets fired or gets layed off.

It's really hard to get good referrals that would really be active here. They need to have the motivation first. I don't have personal friends online and I think they are busy with their work that is why they are not interested in making money online. Have a nice day!

I also do not have personal friends who are earning online. But as you said, I might be surprised. But I think the probability of them earning online too is slight. I have posted some shoutouts in my social networking sites and if they are earning online they should have noticed it or said something. Have a nice day!

I don't have personal friends also who do earn online. In fact I am the only one doing. I tried to convince most of them to join but they have no interest. The cyber world is just not their interest so I just have to understand them. Anyway they have productive job on their own and I could see that they are already happy and contented with the way they earn money.

I also don't have personal friends online. I don't think I will be able to convince them. It seems the online world have no place in their busy and interesting world. but I would still try sometime. Have a nice day!

Well richiem, not really. I barely talk to my friends at all anymore. I personally don't really care. But, that's just me. I guess if I really wanted to talk to them I would make the time. My boyfriend, who I live with isn't too thrilled sometimes that I stay up until 3-4am. He goes to bed early and I don't want to because I can't sleep anyway. He's getting used to me being on the computer half the night so I think he doesn't really care that much anymore. Again, I do what I want and so does he! He goes out when he wants to so whatever! I just like to be here posting and talking to my mylot friends and making money that I sure could use. Nothing wrong with that. I could be doing worse things. I have insomnia anyway so it keeps me from going crazy! I hope you reach your goal. I know it's really hard! I have the time to be on here because I'm not working right now. If I was that would be a different story. Then I don't think I could do what I'm doing. Good luck to you!

My girlfriend also don't like myLot. She feels like myLot is taking my attention away from her. I think people like her prefer personal interaction more than cyber interaction that we have here. And she would be very busy with her job to log in and chat here in myLot. Have a nice day!

i just have one friend that i referred to mylot, and another that i referred to reviewstream. i am not really sure about them but i think i was able to tell them that it is worth the time, posting and reviewing for the extra money they need. i hope they see that it is not really a waste of time.. hehe

Well i have tried to refer many but they do not have internet connection and that is the reason they can't be active and take the benefit of earning money online but that doesn't bother me as i can also earn money referring others.

some of my friends sold sth online , but i don't know any of them are earning on such as mylot. i think this is a place for us to communicate, the earnings is sth makes you happy. i don't have referrals either.

So far I have gotten my sister to join, and one other relative and 1 friend. One is a tiny bit active here the other two barely ever get on. I have also gotten my sister and my brother to join other sites, but getting them to actually be active is like pulling teeth. I do have a couple of friends that I have met on line through these kinds of sites, and we sign up for things when one of us recommends them. They are better because they are in to it as much as I am, and they actually participate.

Don't give up friends. Earning online is not for EVERYONE. It needs dedication. But, I am sure if you can have proof of yr earnings online, then they will find you and not the other way around. :-)

No i do not have any...if i invite them they easily turn their backs on me...they just don't believe that it can actually happen...my sisters dont even believe me and also my husband...that is why i stopped inviting personal friends...they need a lot of convincing power..but maybe because i have not shown them proofs...well i might be able to convince them if they can really see me earn..but im not earning yet...maybe two months from now i can show them proofs.

No I don't know anyone who works online and nobody would be interested because everyone thinks that its just a waste of time and nothing else. I tried telling my husband about these online site but he does not believe me, I even showed him my paypal account and the cash in it but still he does not believe until he sees the cash but I don't want to cash out right from paypal because they amount is that much so it would be no fun doing that but one day I will surprise him, can't wait for that day. I don't think many people are aware of online earnings, but gradually people will come to know about it.

I have tried to get my friends to join the same online money-making sites that I do, but they think they're scams, and a waste of time.
