I am happy with my referral

I have about 5 referrals here, but only one is very active. But what makes me happy about this one referral is that she became so active, even more active than me that now she's the one who tells me about the new features of myLot, the other ways to increase earnings, and all the the things she discovers while using myLot (which I never had the time to explore). I guided her how to go about this site for maybe the first 3 months, but after a year, it's the other way around - she is now my mentor here. And, yes, her activity alone makes me earn more, and she knows that, and she doesn't mind. Are you as lucky?

Congratulations! I am still relatively new and I think that it is exciting to get new referrals. I am trying to promote MyLot amongst my friends and people I know so that I can hopefully make some $$$ such as you are!

HI Guit, When I first introduced this site to my friend it was primarily because I wanted to share the fun and not because of what I'll earn from her. So what I told her was that if she wants to share her thoughts with friends from all over the world this is a good site. I also told her that I'll earn from her activities coz I didn't want her to feel like I was out to take advantage of her without her knowledge. Good thing we both like being here, so it became mutually beneficial for both of us. BTW, welcome to myLot. You've come to the right place. It's a good place to learn and earn

That's a good thing to tell people. It is better for people to come to myLot to learn and have fun, compared to come to earn money.

Hi doryvien! i think i know who she is, you're lucky. Me, i have only one referral and not so active as yours. Maybe i have to make more referrals, i might be lucky too. Have a nice day and thank you for helping me out with my Paypal registration.

,HI Jazz, Yes, we both know her personally. Finding a good referral is really tough. You need to know their interests first, coz if they don't like writing or sharing ideas, and see that earnings are just secondary, I don't think they will stick it out here. When I first told her about this wonderful site I knew she will be interested, but I was surprised that she exceeded my expectation. I hope you bump into someone like her.

,HI Jazz/Winky, Let's all have fun earning and learning. I know it's tough to find someone to join myLot, but if they are really interested we don't need any convincing, just show them the benefits of being here and if they like it, they'll stay...just like MY referral

I have five (I think) referrals on here too. But none of mine are active anymore. I remember I had one guy who joined and posted 26 times. He must have thought this site would be an easy "get rich quick" sort of thing so when he found out it wasn't, he hasn't logged in since (I think that because he wrote me one day and I had told him something about how the site works and all that and it was not long after that he stopped logging in). But honestly, these days I'd actually much more prefer getting referrals on Swagbucks. Just too bad I can never get anyone to join there as my referral lol. So unfortunately with me, I'm not as lucky with referrals.

Hi DarthJustice, You're right, just like your referrals, my other four just disappeared after a few posts and they're gone. When I tell my friends about myLot, It tell them that this is a forum site where everyone actively shares ideas. The earning part is just secondary.

how lucky you are to have such a great referral! i have few referrals but they all have not much time in here,i guide them for being here,but seems like they are too busy in their offline jobs that's why they can't ahve time here.there's one who i can see for sometime but she is not always active though.but she still manages to be here quite often,at least in a day i can earn from her,though it's not that big. as for your case,i wanted to have someone like you have,but i'm not that good at referring people i guess.i don't have a power to attract people here.

,HI Annavi, It's not easy finding a referral who will become active, you never really know if they will like the site you suggested for them to join. I didn't even think that my one referral will be as active as she is today. My first objective when I refer this site to anyone is to share coz I enjoy this site extremely and I want others I know to enjoy it too. Earning from them is secondary. If they become active (like this one), well and good, if they don't(like my 4 other referrals), well I can't do anything about it. Besides, you don't really need referrals to reach payout, $10 is doable for as long as you remain active. Still, I wish you luck in finding a good referral.

It's so nice that your friend is enjoying mylot! None of my friends are interested, not even my boyfriend. Makes finding referrals hard for me! I hope that I can find a referral as great as yours too :)

Hi Goldenkagi, I know it's tough to find a referral here in myLot or in other sites and you don't really know if they will stay or not. That's why I consider myself lucky with this one. I hope too that you'll find a good referral. And by the way, welcome to myLot!.

You are really very lucky that you have such a ref. But i think that you deserve that because as i see you helped your ref enough at start and you now have a personal relationship. I have a lot of referrals. I dont remember the number. I earn some money from some of them. But most of them are now inactive.

you are such a lucky guy. i have about a dozen of them, but only one have gone active and reach her payout. but the others never did, some even just signed-up and never posted one. unfortunately, i am working alone now for myself. the one that gone active during the few months of her stay here, have already gone.

Hi Neil, Yes, I feel lucky I found one referral who really got serious about myLot. Although from the start I knew she will be interested in what we do here, I never imagined she'll be THAT enthusiastic! It was she who actually motivated me (unknowingly though) to be active again here, coz I kind of dozed off for a while and have been on and off many times. She now knows more than I do about myLot's new features or everytime there's something new. Well, keep on trying, who knows, you might just find the "right" referral in due time.

no I use to have an active member but they must have disappeared! I don't really talk to a lot of people to really have any connections to anyone who may be on here for a long period of time

Hi Amanda, Just like most of my referrals, yours disappeared too. We can never force them to stay if they are not really interested in what we do here. Better concentrate on posting and we'll be fine. Guess I just got lucky with this one.

Hello doryvien, congratulations on your referral. i don't know who this person, but i wish you could PM me her profile so that i can add her as well and participate in her discussions. it's a good thing that you're referrals are being active now than ever before. I've always wanted a referral like that but the trouble is that am just out of luck now, it's not good even though i have started a mylot video. i have referrals but i hope they become active in time.

,HI Letran, Thanks! Actually, she is your friend here too . Okay, I'll PM you her username. She is my personal friend, my officemate and we share a lot of things in common. When I invited her to join myLot I just mentioned that this is a good venue for sharing ideas, which we enjoy doing together. But still I was surprised coz she became more active than me. There were months when I couldn't even post a single response but she was here all the time. I wish you luck and that may you find a 'hardworking' referral in due time.

Hi Doryvien, I am 101% sure that i know this person. You really can't stop her from being hook to Mylot. She's even so excited to share her learnings and new discoveries here. I know right now she's so happy with this tribute you made for her. She will surely comeback to check and see how this discussion is going. Congratulations. I I am not lucky with referrals but one of them is again active and is excited about the new developments in Mylot. I hope she too will find a good referral like the one you are referring to in your discussion. ...from the bottom of my heart, thanks for the great opportunity to know and be with mylot family!

HI Winky, I'm sure you know who I'm referring to. This is my way of telling her how happy I am that I made her happy in joining this site. And what makes me even more ecstatic is the fact that she is now reaping the fruits of her labor, because she truly deserves it. I hope that you too can find your referral who is as good as mine.

Wow, that's good for you. You could earn faster and higher with referrals. I think I am not lucky as you are. I have dificulty to ask my friends to join mylot. Only two of them registered here but pity, they are not so active. I have guide them how to earn here. I have show them my payment proof and I show them I could make $10 a month just by myself. It was useless. But it still there is a hope. At least their account are still active. I hope someday they will realize that earning in mylot is not difficult and not complicated as they thought.

HI de_toya, I know what you mean, I myself am reluctant to promote this site to those who I think are not really keen on writing and sharing ideas online. As mentioned, I have 5 referrals here, but only 1 is active. The other 4 have just signed up, dropped a post or two, and vanished. If their priority is to earn big time, this is not the place for them. Well I hope you find a "good" referral as well.
