how many did you ask and how many joined? well i asked about 40 people only one person joined so far. and 3 people are still staying they will and are making excuses why there not doing it right now. its really hard for me to get referrals for this site. not alot of people see one cent as alot of money and other people think its a scam. and the other people i don't know whats wrong with them. i'm starting to think i don't have any true friends....and alot of my friends don't spend alot of time on the computer and play sports and are going to camp. so i feel like the only way to get referral now is from people i don't now and from other making money websites. what about you guys?

I have several referrals but none of them sustained I hope the other 1 girl would sacrifice and enjoy. And soon she could get minimum payout. I see she's doing good for 3 days she joined she's near to 100 posts. I hope that she will keep on participates though I am happy mainly for her to earn and even a little I could get as a commission from mylot. Well really it's difficult to earn through referrals but I'm keeping on informing more to help them find here. My purpose basically is to let them earn for themselves. Actually there are 2 who join here but unfortunately I found out that they fail to sign up under my referral link - URL. But I would be happy for them if they would succeed.

I have been with mylot for more than two years and up to now I still don't have a single referral. I have been paid here many times and they are all through my own effort.

I find it quite difficult as I live in England, the conversion rate is not too good. You have to have $10 to cash out which is about £5. For £5 I could buy a low/medium range item of makeup eg nail varnish or eyeshadow. So it is not THAT much money really. However if I lived in a country where $10 converted to a lot more money where you could possibly buy your weekly shopping for the amount then I would find it a lot easier to convince people to join.

Right now I have about 6 referrals, but they aren't active at all! I have one that just signed up yesterday, a person I don't know!! I only have 2 people I know personally that signed up under me, but they slacked off real good! The others just either signed up through my blog or from another social networking site! What I noticed really works is stating that, ok the pay may not be the greatest, but ask them what are they making on the other sites for the same thing, and after you hit payout, show them the proof! They may turn around, you never know!! Don't forget, we have tasks here as well, that also adds to your earnings for quicker payouts; like the one below: Simple Task - Quick Nickel http://www.mylot.com/w/task/1451.aspx Thanx Taripre$

Very easy to get referrals but only few of them stay. Well maybe they had just few of time to spend here. But I could say that if only they would try at least one week for sure they would love the site and keep on mylotting. For more than 10 of my referrals I just earn from them a total of $.04 not too bad at least I have a commission. Only too sad that after sign up they didn't even take a tour to the site to see how happy to be here.

For me, it's hard - in fact, close to impossible because my friends are not keen in making money online though they have blogs. Even my blog has not been popular. Well, I'm not depending on referrals in MyLot. I'll just create and join discussions, enjoy helping others with their problems (hopefully not aggravating them), and perhaps I might earn enough in a month's time to buy a nice meal for the me.

I think because Mylot has been around for some years now the chances of getting referrals is very minimal. I have actually given up because even when you do get referrals getting them to be active is sometimes impossible. It's hard work getting referrals in the first place! Besides the money aspect doesn't bother me I just come to the site to enjoy myself, make friends and get advice, I don't worry about getting referrals. Besides I promote other sites I use. I think to allay peoples concerns about it being a scam site if you produce proof of a payment, then they will accept it's an honest, paying site.

From what I can gather, getting a large number of referrals is only half the battle in any case - a lot of referrals turn out to be not particularly active. But to answer your question directly, I haven't asked any of my friends to join, because I always think that kind of pesky request puts too much strain on a friendship! I have had a half-hearted go at promoting my referral link in other ways, but no luck so far.

The question is are you a true friend or just trying to benefit from others, see i ask all my friends to join but they do not post at all so whats the point. I like to read and write but not all people love to do so. Maybe we try to get our facts right first. I remember your photo and you just join right and wow you are doing just fine on your own look at those number 408 not bad. If you want to make it rich this is not the site. I sure lots out there will be glad to show you the way. Just remember to keep a good karma while you are at it . I can see you have determination but have you got the skills yet?

I am having a problem with all the sites that I have. I can't seem to get anyone to join any of the sites that I have joined. Either they have already joined or they just aren't interested! LOl I'll keep trying! Good luck to you!
