An interesting thing happens to me every time I send a comment on a Youtube video or a money earning blog page.
I usually start be saying something commendable, like thank you for the information, or nice video, nice blog page, whatever, I just try to say something positive.
Then I kindly ask if their earnings are of their own efforts or do they have a downline of referrals?
This is where it gets interesting. When I ask, I get no reply, nada, zip, zilch. Are you surprised? No? Neither am I.
Now if I had a question about one of the earning options, or the link to sign up or anything like that, then I hear from them.
Isn't that interesting? Not really.
Bet i would think most dont wanna reveal their ways of getting referrals if it has done well for them.I guess i can see their point.Hard enuff to get them on your own,why share your success when it might take some away from you.
I totally understand that. If the shoe were on the other foot, I would not reveal exact details. I would, however, share my method of success.
All I was looking for with my questions was a simple yes, the majority of my earnings come from referrals. At that point I would go no further and ask no more questions out of respect.
Some of my earning sites are by invitation only. My monthly earnings are low because I don't have the referrals. When I see a screenshot from another member with considerable higher numbers, all I want to know is whether it's because of referrals or am I missing something in my own efforts to earn.
Nobody will answer that. Because then you know YOU are not going to make money like they post that they make. Even people on here have avoided that question. lol. I have made a whopping $10 from referrals on THIS site. $8 from one referral and $1 each from 2 others.
I will be glad to answer it, yes most of the money I have earned here came from referrals and bonuses, but I am not going to take the time to total up how much from each type of referral or bonus. I also don't keep it a secret how I do it if you simply go over the last 10 years worth of posts I have made on this forum.
LOL. I also know when I google your name you come up as being one of the biggest scam artists on the internet. A while back you stated to "google your name" to see how you make money online.
I guess whatever works for you. I do have my own website. I have links to all the sites that I do as well. I state multiple times that you will not be able to earn a living from survey sites. That I have a real job. I am honest about how much money I have made. And I am honest about how much you can expect to earn and that you have to put in a real effort to make money. Maybe I need to lie. Maybe that would get me more referrals.
Having referrals is fine. It is only wrong when you lie to people to get them to sign up under your link. I remember (something else I do) and people posting "sign up under MY link to get $10". I called them out as well. Signing up got you a $10 bonus. You did not need to use anyone's link. And for everyone who used the link the person who owned the link got $5 I think. They didn't share that info.
