I am at a stage right now that I want to try to make a little bit more money online. This got me to wondering about what other people do when they are using a site for the first time.
Is there is technique that you follow when you are testing a new site or do you work the new sites in the same way that you do with the sites that you already know and trust?
For me, when I am testing a new site to see if it will be able to be added to my trusted sites, I will work them a little bit at a time until I've reached the threshold for payout. When I've requested my first payout I will leave the site alone until I've actually gotten my payment. Once I've gotten the first payment, I will devote a little bit more time to the site. If I never see my payment, then I will abandon the site.

Most sites I do now are sites that other people have recommend and most of the time also they have been paid through them. So, I am pretty sure they are good sites.

Oh, the reviews of others is something that is a great help to me as well. I definitely have to say that is one way in which mylot has been great for me. Not only do I make some money by being on here, I've also learned a lot about other sites that have become trusted to me through my time on mylot.

I have been earning from sites 6-7 years now. I honeslty dont try new sites anymore. Not untill someone I know has been paid. ive been scammed for times than paid. Just the way I do my sites.

I do try to see the reviews of other people that I know before I join a new site as well. However, I do still take my time when working toward my first payment from them.

Isn't that just the truth. Luckily, I've not fallen victim for a while, but that certainly doesn't mean that I'm exempt.

I research sites before I join them. If someone I know is a member and has been paid multiple times by the site, I am more likely to join.
I look over the rules of the site before plunging in. I also try to get some feel for the "culture" of the site before I plunge in too far; each site has a different culture, and one should approach sites in the way that fits with that particular site rather than try to treat the site like another. The more one understands about the way a site works, the more likely one is going to be successful on the site.

It is definitely very helpful to me when I know someone that has been paid by the site. However, I will still go through my trial process because I also know that it is possible for sites that have been trusted in the past to go into scam.

its good but only some sites pay at the first instant and others tend to scam us always

That is true too, so I really never count my chickens before they've hatched into my paypal account.

Me too, we are on the same boat. I want to make more money online since I have dedicate myself to it. I have tried many making money sites but many of them did not work for me because of they country limit or my qualification did not meet the expectation. When I find new site I will looking some review to know if other people have tried on this new site or not, if the review is good I will try it if not, I will pass it.

i tried some sites as well in fb, in odesk, even mbc or any blogging sites. but it did not work for me. they have strict rules to follow. i guess, i am not too dominant to earn here on line. staying for me in mylot is better than any sites far off behind. so i guess, when someone would not tell or teach me thoroughly on what to do into a certain site, i will not be able to show some interest and to give my perseverance to learn hehe...
but for you, just keep on going. maybe you can find another luck in that site. so good luck :)

I really do consider myself to be lucky because in the time that I've been attempting to earn online, I've been able to gain a hand full of sites that do work for me. That is great and I'm not being greedy, but I would really like to be able to increase my online earnings.

Yes, I do the same thing. I'm working on a new site right now I spend a little time and make a few cents. I actually like the site and what I have to do on it. I'm just hoping it's really going to pay because as soon as it does I plan to spend more time on it.

That is pretty much the way that it is for me right now as well. I've got two sites that I'm working on that are new to me sites and I'm spending just a minimal amount of time on them until I've gotten to the cash out point so I can see if they are going to be trusted sites. If they become trusted sites for me, I will spend more time on them.

I am working on a site now, that I join and it is taken me, a while to earn from, this site after I reach payout on this site, I don't think I will continue, with it because it taken me, so long to reach payout now ,and I don't like being on a site, like that it may maybe good but, the time it taken to earn, it not alright with me.
