What's Up With That?

A lot of the websites I work have graduated payouts (Neobux, for example). They start you out with a $2 payout but then increase the amount each time up to $10. What exactly is the purpose of that? Why do they do this and what is the point...beyond frustrating the members, that is? Does anyone know?

The point is so that some people will only reach their first payout. Then Neobux will get to keep the rest of the money if you don't reach payout again. It makes sense though, if they made it that easy for members to cashout, they wouldn't be making any money.. and the site wouldn't survive.

But then, there are sites that have no minimum cashout and they are thriving. Quick Rewards has been around for a long time and they are not hurting because of not having this technique in their employ.

We don't know that Neobux is making all that much, either. None of these sites disclose their earnings. All I know is that I make good money on QR and am able to cash out every month while Neobux makes me wait several months to cash out. QR is by far the better of the two.

We don't know if they are making as much as Neobux though.

the simple logic everyone gonna work hard to reach minimu m payout and exceeding that minnimum payout will result to more participation.because new joinee will always hoping to get his first payout and this way they can get new joinees.that is what i feel i dont know the exact point why they do this.

Not every site does this, though. It just makes no sense to me. If they can pay me $2 the first time, why not the second, third and fourth times? Minimum payouts at all really make no sense to me. 
My favorite sites have no minimum payout and I am able to cash out whenever I feel the need.

because they don't want to let you reach next payout easily unless you invest some money to rent referrals....

Yes this is that reason i am searching here. !! If you got first payout you become exited and hope for second payout. So that people will rent referals. But so far i have not earned even 1 cent from these site. I have no more info about this site. I am hearing first time that onbux or neobux extend their payout. How much they increase and then payouts are instant or not!

@Yogesh: Once you reach the $10 level, the payout stays there. The payout is instant. I have received my first payout from both Onbux and Neobux. I am now building toward my 4th payout with Neobux. I don't pay for upgrades or have any referrals so my earning is slow but I am earning.
@Genius: Yeh, maybe you are right. I just find it frustrating...especially since the top payout is so high. It'll take forever to make $10!

Simply business friend, I'm a businessman so I know pretty darn well that the longer we hold on to our cash then the more options we have, it's like a post dated check, no scam, you will get paid , but simply just hung around a little bit with your cash so you have more options, very simple , if you will be paying all of them 2 usd every time then plateau would be reached and everybody would be asking payment all at the same time, 2 dollars is too low for really heavy investors or those with many direct referrals so it would be advantageous for the site to make a gradual increase everytime you reach payout.

Well, I don't have any referrals and don't have money to invest so I just get the minimum amount when I work these sites. I will probably leave them once I get to a point where I don't need them anymore. There are plenty of sites that don't do this.

hey they do this so that they can attract more as they show everywhere that they have minimum(not now) payout that is $2.And then afterwards every person work hard for reaching $10 and also they want them to invest in there site.

Yeah, I don't really like it. I think eventually I'll be weeding out the graduated sites from my list. Right now I'm so desperate for funds that I'll work just about any site.
