People trying to earn online, are too much skeptical - Is that true?

Well. This question doesn't fit me. I'm not too skeptical and I'm not too open to try anything. Whenever I see an opportunity, I just think whether I can market it, how will be the response etc. But, in my observation, at least 60% people are too much skeptical. (I would rather call it "closed ears", instead of calling "skeptical.") On the other side, I am seeing people fall for well-written salesletters, which sell some catchy words about the earnings. (Like "earn thousands without lifting a finger" etc.) What's your observation - Are people skeptical or open?

I'm not skeptical at all! As long as I don't have to invest any money then I try out any site and see if they would really pay me when I've reached the minimum pay out. Though I have a hard time referring my friends, they wouldn't believe me till I present to them my earnings...so I have to cash out here in mylot before I could convince them to join, it didn't matter to them that the previous sites I referred them made them earn too...sheeesh, so I'm like a website tester!

I think a lot of people are, yeah, but I don't necessarily think it is a bad thing. With so many scams out there, it is good to be careful and think twice, I think.

I agree that there are lots of scams. But, don't we have confidence on ourselves whether we can find the difference between scams and good programs? I think many people are missing it. (Most of them are not missing it, but they don't listen at all.)

Some people are skeptics some are not. I don't blame if people would believe to such catchy tricks like "Earn money without doing nothing" scheme which does sound more like a scam. Most people think that earning online is easy and you can get rich quick. While some who are already here working online for years, can truly understand how hard to earn money online because it needs time, hard work and dedication. There is really a no quick method and there is no fixed income in online earning. Sites do come and go. Earning potentials cannot be assured also. There are other people also that I meet online who are like paranoid too. As if everything others do, it looks scam to them already even if they are not yet joining or trying, very negative in their approach, well what else can I say?

Hello Venka, If i remember it correctly, I was a bit sceptical myself when i joined mylot but i was mostly optimistic since it's the first site that i have come to know of. but of course, if ONline Money Making is not in the persons first line of interest, then it takes time to convince them. trouble is that most people who works are pessimistic or have less time doing online stuff. My suggestion is, Let them be. It's their loss if they can't see it through. am happy that i tend to maximize the use of internet here.

There are lots of reason which effects the nature of the people. Few peoples are not lucky to see a legit site, because he or she has no option to choose a good and legit site. And sometimes they were scammed by the website itself. Once a person go through such situation he or she can't trust any site including legit sites. In this way they become skeptical and missed good opportunities.

In all honesty, I'm quite sceptical, in fact, I wouldn't have turned to online marketing if it weren't for the dire need to pay off the debt from a previous online stint. And the people that I do know are very much against online marketing 100% I literally had to make new friends online who were okay with online marketing, although with my situation, there's only a little I can do. I tend to skip those long sales letters and any site that has all these long rediculous deals. Most gifting programs I stay away from, as although some systems are good, we're still dealing with greedy and dishonest people. Cycling programs are out as well, as I've tried several and couldn't get referrals, or enough to cycle. I mainly just stick with free programs like Sidetick and MyLot, I find they're more personal and productive, and you actually learn a few things as well as earn a legitimate dollar here and there. Best advise I can give is only do what you feel comfortabe doing and stay within your financial means.

I would not be easily ready to try something new that is untested , if one my friend recommend it to me then I would not have any choice but that is how we are going to learn. I joined TDD two months ago got $10 in less than a week but I didn't liked their upgrade policy so I left the it on the other hand cashium the site well known and trusted certainly gone down. We can't do anything in some cases and I was the member of cashium from where it was in beta phase.
