I can make people click but I can't make them speak

Greetings fellow myLotters. Long time no see! Well I have been busy with many many things! (college, web-site designing, women etc.) Today I found my self in front of a huge wall that I have seen only at the beginning of my online earning "career" Let's take things one by one: We all know that you need referrals in order to earn good at GPT, PTC sites. At the beginning I sucked at it! In matter of fact, I think I scared people away! As time was passing I met here some nice people that gave me miraculous tips on how to appropriate try to get referrals. I did what they said and I found myself having a very respectful amount of referrals at the most valuable (for me) PTC-GPT programs. It's been a week or so that I was into designing/scripting a new forum. I had a great budget at gagabux which I promised to myself that I will spend on advertising my forum, by the time I am pretty much sure that I will never cash-out them lol! Well, it didn't work! I had about 1500 clicks from one site, 500 from another and I am pretty much sure that a friend of mine in here spend about 500 clicks for advertising the forum too at another site. The result? 4 sign ups! God! It seems that I know how to make people register to a PTC site. It seems that I can motivate them with nice little prizes in order to keep them active. But to populate a forum? Oh gosh! That seems such a rough big wall I have to climb! I must admit that I still haven't tried to spam my banner (in a nice, within the rules and polite spamming way of course) to other forums. I guess that one will do something. But other than that, do you guys have any idea on how to make people join a community? What makes people sign up at a forum? Is the design? The boards? The amount of the current population? Thanks a lot in advance for your kind help!

I just took a look at your webmaster forum. GREAT idea! May I suggest. There are several misspelled words. I am not picking on you, as I understand that for some people the English language is a bit difficult. With all the online competition out there, just thought that you have the right and perfect idea, however if some of the words within the posting and the comments are misspelled from the admins postings, well people may not entrust 100%. Please do not take this as a criticism, but rather as constructive :) I have a web and domain which I have not fully completed and or publicized, but when I do I will certainly sign up to assist with your magnificent idea. :) Thanks again.a

Oh oh! please do correct me lol! Don't worry! I won't be offended at all! on the other hand I will owe you! Seriously, if you have the time you can PM me the mistakes. The unfortunate is that I do know some good English and I speak the faultless in formal occasions (such as presentations) by the time I study at an UK University, but when I am in rush I make many many mistakes!

I think we all do that. I am a big picker when it comes to my writing and spelling and want to kick myself when I see me perform mistakes. I would never correct anyone unless I am asked. As a matter of fact you are right. Sometimes I type real fast and hit the post comment and notice it is too late to correct a misspelled word and well that is a result of typing too fast. I will take a look at it again tomorrow and for sure, I will let you know. Your concept is excellent and would like you to succeed. I want seen some of your postings and ideas here on myLots and feel that you are a very intellegent person filled with wonderful ideas. You keep up and more of what you do and you will be one of those people we all will look back and say wow, I knew him once. LOL Correctly any spelling is the least of it. Your intelligence will bring forth the excellence!

Not really sure, but I'll join you and Working mom's forum :) It seems very exciting. I want to learn CSS and PHP now that I almost know HTML pretty good. I hope I can learn a lot from you guys :D

valkerion, I think in life you can never win always - you just have to loose some as you win some. There's really no proven science here where even your closest of friends may not even see this eye to eye here. So, just give and take.

Well it's not about referrals you know? It's about promoting your own site now for me! I would advice you to stop renting referrals though. I wouldn't trust my money to bots
