I do not recommend myLot to all my friends, only to those who I think would really benefit from it.
I have a friend who always complains about working opportunities. she says that the only high paying job in my country is a call-center job but she absolutely hates it. she applies, gets accepted, works for 6 months, loathes the job, then resign. I told her that since she spends most of her time at home whenever she is in between jobs then she could join mylot and earn money. she said ok and asked me to send her the link but she never joined.
Another friend wants to improve her English. I told her that while you're at it why not earn a few too? She said it's a good idea because she also needs some extra money. so I sent her my referral link but she also didn't join.
Now, I still get messages from them about how they want to earn some extra money. I just ignore them now. because i feel like my words reach deaf ears.
Does anybody here have successful referrals?

You'll find that most people who say "I want to earn some extra money" actually mean "I want someone to give me some extra money for doing nothing". That's why over 90% of people who start earning online fail dismally and give up. They don't want to do the work needed to get the success.
I don't even bother trying to get referrals any more. They're either flaky people who never do anything or negative whiners who want me to answer all their questions and show them the easiest way to do everything. I don't have time to spoon-feed idiots who can't read a few guidelines pages in return for effectively free cash!

You got that right on target Spike!
That is why I don't like recruiting referrals too. I don't want someone to complain to me or bother me about negative things. Them giving me stress isn't worth it at all. I do believe that such individuals only know how to complain but never get to do something to be able to stop their complaints. I mean, in whatever you do, you have to give the effort to reap the rewards. Such people just want quick and easy cash. I do agree with you, they are indeed idiots!

Lol. You're right about that. Some people wants free money Instead of working for it.

Its normal even we have sent our referral link they don't join, we must not always lose hope in getting referrals and always think positive and maybe in the near future we get some referrals that we will become active. Base on my experiences about these online site were we are paid when someone ask me about these thing they seem to be very interested but at the end they just don't join. But it is OK for me since it motivates me and find that there are still some interested in joining and thinks in the future i will get some referrals.
These also happen in my Networking Job I have many peoples who I talked to about the business but ends up joining in another upline but its ok this is how business works.
Hope this also motivates to dont stop finding referrals and at the same time help them.

I have referred over a hundred members to MyLot I guess. They are mostly not known to me. They signed up via my blog I believe.
But till date, none of them are active after one or two days of postings. Sometimes, when its not suitable, its not suitable. There is no way of convincing people, if it is not they cup of tea.
Cheers.

If you like, you can find my blog at profile. Take some reference and I hope it helps.
I have been here for many years. It is really not that surprising.
There is no use at all. They do not participate at all. I do not get to earn anything. There are as good as zero.
Cheers.

I have 15 referrals here and not of them inactive. I don't what there reasons to be inactive here. It maybe due to lack of confidence that they make money on here or due to lack of interest or doesn't any idea on what to post?
Maybe your friend did not believe that making money online is possible? Like my friend, didn't believed that I make money online. Even if I show him my payment proof and bank records that I withdraw cash from my earnings online...
He want to earn money but refuse to accept my invitation to do online jobs. I don't know why many Filipino's have negative thinking about online jobs.
I meet some online friends, from europe and america. They are making money online while at work. They are not just a regular employee but some of them managers and with good position in their respective offices...

Hi Ddaguno, my friends are also like that.
They are always complaining about this or that, and they keep on saying that they want to work from home, or earn money online.
They never did.
Even when I show them that I have made enough money to buy a few silver bars, they still do not want to take action.
It is really time wasting to listen to them.
Now I just ignore them when they want to complain.
If they want to waste time, they better waste their own time, not my time.
Mine is very precious, since I have so many online earning activities.
I rather spend time writing articles than listening them.
They have Facebook accounts, and I do not have.
When I ask them to put my referral links in their account, they refused.
Really useless friends!

I hear silver is a really nice investment. It's good that you see the fruits of your online work.
Why dont you create your own Facebook account then you can add your links yourself. Add pictures of your proof of income and your silver bars. They might not appreciate it now but if they keep seeing it on your Facebook wall then they just might reconsider

Well, we do have an online store in Facebook and so far we are doing good. But I guess it's not for everybody
my posts of online proofs on my blog did get some attention. friends have asked me if online earning is indeed real. The proof is there so I didnt know why they still had to ask but I guess people can really be skeptical when it comes to money.

Well, like you I also invited all my classmates and friends to join mylot. I wrote this invitation in our Facebook group wall page.
Fortunately, there were few of them who send me mails of their interest. I send them the link and thought them how to register and get the PayPal account to add into the profile.
Good news, they're here already and now happily exploring all the possible opportunities myLot could offer
I hope my friends are also open to online erarning they are really scared about giving info on the net. a lot of them have had too much exposure to scams and fraud so I cant blame them for being super cautious.

Hi. I think some people prefer earning quick bucks from the net. And they prefer signing up on sites where they'd make money with less effort. I guess myLot isn't one of those sites. I mean, you have to jog your brain here a little. Thinking of what to post or what response to make is not that easy for a lot of people. I for one have to wrack my brains just to reply to topics posted. I guess I don't want to just post nonsensical responses :) I've invited a couple of my friends to join. They checked on the site, found that it didn't interest them, and did not sign up. I had one successful referral but she didn't participate much. Well, it's their loss, not mine :) Although it would be a big help in increasing your earnings if you have lots of referrals who are also active :)

Well, I guess there are only a few people in the world who think like us. there are over 200k mylot members but we don't know how many are active. If we are looking for referrals it should be people who have the same brainwaves as us.
people who like to share a lot and earn money at the same time

I have a referral who even surpass my number here into how many folds. I can not count anymore. I invited her here in order to earn and to meet more friends. And I am happy knowing that she is enjoying here.
There are some whom I invited too and do not continue participating, maybe they have other tasks online that is more important or I just do not know the reason.

they probably thought it is scam.. Now that they realize it is not, why not send them the link again?

I have only told one friend but she probably forgot I'll mention it again when she remembers. But I only tell people who I believe really deserve. My friend, she's a little short on money and she doesn't go out much because she doesn't have any money so I told her about Mylot. She got really excited and I sent her a link. She never joined, either she forgot or I sent it to the wrong email. I haven't told anyone else because I know they won't be interested because they want to make like a good income not like a few cents for each post. My friend expect a lot for little effort. Another friend is packed rich as her family are pretty sneaky and have ways to get money from the government and they also own a jewelry shop and my friend is still wants more money despite what she has But so far, I have no referrals.

The friend I have mentioned is much like your friend too. she doesnt go out much ans she needs money. that's why I'm puzzled why she hasnt joined when she was the one who asked me if I knew a way how to make some extra. Maybe your friend is different. Try to remind her again

I think it doesn't help being overly obliging or pushing people who do not show enough motivation or inclination to work. Whatever may be their reasons, there has to be some demonstrated eagerness and then we can hand hold. I for one haven't pushed people even though I know some of them can certainly benefit.

There are a lot of people like that. I recommended this with some friends but they did not join either. Maybe they just like winning but never do anything about their current situation.

Are we talking friends in real life or over the internet? If they are over the internet I can understand the skeptism. Also friends in real life should join if you invite them over and give them some hands on experience with it. I can't see why this wouldn't work. I don't have any refs and can't seem to get any :(

hi dd, I am a relative new myloter..to be exactly 14 days so I
definately done have any referrals yet...But I must say that the
2 weeks that I have been on I have really enjoyed it..I am a very
opinioned person and don't mind sharing..I have realized that
even on computer you need to abide by the rule of life...If you
don't have anything nice to day to or about someone.don't say anything
at all...even thou some myloters ask some far out questions sometimes.
I am thinkinig that most myloters ask for honest answers and ask
about honest issues...I don't pretend to know anywhere near every
thing but life experiences is alls good to speak on. what I will say
is that you extended your knowledge to yours friends there is nothing
else you can do...KUDOS to you!!!!!!

I bet the appearance of small earnings is dissatisfying to them! You have to be super active, provide good responses, do tasks, and refer members to make a nice earnest sum here. It's possible but a lot of people just don't have the time with their busy life schedules, so the best thing to do it to earn a lot here and show them that it's worth it, with your payment proofs! So just keep earning and being active and soon they'll notice that myLot isn't a bunch of baloney!
