Evaluating your effectiveness time frame.

United States
November 3, 2010 9:57pm CST
When deciding what sites to use and where you want to continue to spend your time. What type of time frame do you use as a deciding factor? Do you make a real decision after just a day or week with the site? Or do you decide after 30 days? or wait til you get your first payout, then decide if that was worth it? This is assuming you know the site is legit when you signed up in the first place. I personally don't try to many new site myself anymore, got a good core with nice referral base in each. I used to wait til I got first payout myself to decide. Then checked the site again for ways to speed up my earnings, tried to estimate if my time was better spent on other sites or not. Then add it to my daily schedule and promote list. Curious to hear how long some people will stick with a site they know pays.

I usually will give it one or two months (maybe) but after that I'm movin on more than likely. There are programs that really pay out there but it's like a needle in a haystack to find them sometimes. But if you see a lot of payments proofs and good user testimonials for the site then more than likely it's something good there. And if you're not earning perhaps you just need to adjust your approach - or maybe it's just not working for you and maybe another program will. What's great for one person may not be great for you. Also a lot of ways to create faster income on many sites is through leveraged income meaning get more referrals so that they can help you earn faster! I have just created a new referral exchange group if you're interested.

True that not all sites will work for everyone, surveys and writing come to mind right away. Referrals are always a wild card of sorts. But with some patience and persistence it becomes much easier. Message sent.

I will try to make a decent amount for a month or two. If I haven't managed my goal in this time frame, then I will probably quit. I like trying to discover new sites I don't know about and somehow risking (I do see payment proof first but if I don't get paid myself I can't be sure) This time frame might change, because there are sites I don't give up on but just visit rarely. So perhaps I will quit using a site after a year of little activity (bi-weekly for example). It really depends on how satisfied I am with my earnings or how enjoyable the whole experience is to me.

As long as the site I've join is legit and paying, I will still continue patronizing the site even if it's a low income site.

Thanks for your input. Good to know some people will stick with it just cause it's a legit site.

Ya, constant evaluation is needed on all sites. Would like to hear more about how much time you give a site to start though.
