Are You Scared To Earn, Because You Think You Have A Referrer??

March 2, 2007 7:31am CST
Do you have a referrer?? do you think you do?? or even know you do?? it makes me think that 25% of everything i have earned, this unkown person has also been paid... at first i think grrrrr i hate this person! lol! but then i just think, well it doesnt actually lose me anything, and i guess it was because of that person that im here! how do you feel about someone else getting 25% of what you earn on here??

You need not get scared as referal earnings are paid seperately by my lot.

I don't clearly understand about it. For example, if my earning suppose to be $10 for january, so it will be deducted about $0.25 from my earning so i just get $0.75. If the calculation just like this, i do think this not fair, and i agree if myLot do some change......

no no. it doesnt work like that..... you get everything you are supposed to get, but the person who referred you gets paid an amount equal to 25% of your earnings, not taken from your earnings.... say you earn $1 then you get paid $1 and your referrer get 25cents so it costs mylot $1.25 understand?

I think for me, its okay for my referer getting 25% of everything i earn. Its up to Mylot in this situation to state their terms. Who knows, maybe mylot will change these terms cause 25% is a lot. Imagine, having 100 active referrals - you are getting paid for the activity of 25 of them every day! Wow!

you are right......you shouldn't feel so jealous. You wouldn't be here if you weren't referred by them. I'm sure you won't feel so bad when you are earning from your referrals if or when you get some.

actually this feeling gets worsen because of my own referrals, as they r doing nothing in my favour by being totally inactive here!!:( especially when i see that i m proving out to be a good referral to my own referrer and my own ones giving me nothing..then for sure i m getting furious+jealous!!!

I don't know who my referrer is but I do wish to thank them. I don't care that they are making money off my posts because it is not comming out of my pocket.

that someone did at least something when recruiting you.... it is quite normal that your upline, as it is officially called, earn a perentage of what you earn. But it never is deducted from your earnings, it is all accounted for in the "grand scheme", so no need to envy whoever. We all do our bit!

I'm not scared to earn at all. I love earning money here on mylot. The 25% that the person earns doesn't come out of my earnings or anyone elses. So why should the nice person who told me about this greta site get alittle bit back in return. So far 25% is the highest i have ever seen as a reward. Most of the places it's only like 10% or less.

Well, most all of us were referred here by someone. I am like you, I know the person who referred me is cheating and I keep thinking I don't like them making money off my work but I beleive myLot will find out they are cheaters and kick them out so am not going to stop doing mylot. I'm not scared I just get annoyed sometimes.

Its good to know that someone gets 25% of ones share who has been referred bcoz of him ur on this site and giving 25% is not a big deal if its not deducted from ur earning.

Hey I was just like that when I participate in online earning opportunities. I thought that it's unfair because other people get benefits when I do something. Maybe it's partly because I myself have difficulties in getting referrals. But come to think of it, I don't lose anything anyway. So, I just need to learn to be happy and feel good that I'm helping someone to earn. It's not easy, but it's worth a shot. Lol

Well, considering the person doesn't TAKE 25% away from you, I don't see why anyone would have a problem. I'm actually glad I can help my friend earn some money. And I'm willing to bet you wouldn't have any problem whatsoever earning 25% of someone else's earning, would you?

No i am never sacred atleast because of this fact,..... come on people grow up.... atleast read the things mylt..... clearly mentioned that my lot is gonna pay the extra 25% to your referrer and wouldnt decrease yours!!! And i believe that you pray for someone;s good, your good will definitley occur!!! why do you have to actually envy someone fir such small things? if someone's earning -- it is hish luck wid him -- if you earn -- it is your luck wid you....right??? But definitely a good discussion to be posted...because what you posted is actually somehitng that does happen with the majority of people.... RATED!!!

I'm sure you won't or don't feel guilty about earning from referrals you may have now or in the future. If you feel a little bitter about the person who referred you earning 25% of your earnings then I would assume you don't want any referrals yourself.

no its not like that... what im saying is if someone referred you then you are earning them money, it doesnt come out of your earnings though! say you earnt $1 your referrer earns an amount equivilant to 25% of your earnings so they earn 25 cents so it costs mylot $1.25 what im saying is the person who referred you is just sitting there earning for your work.... get it?

Don't be scared. It is because of the person who referred you, you are here. Anyway I think mylot pays referrals separately and not from the person's earnings
