How can I invite 1300 people?  I do not know 1300 people.  How can I get strangers to sign up?  I can't get supposed friends or family to sign up and the actually participate.  That is the problem.  I have a couple of websites.  I have one that has I think 4 sites like this where you get paid from your referrals.  Like I said, I cannot get anyone to look at it.  I don't think people realize that when they say oh they looked at it that I can SEE if they did.  When it says ZERO visitors then obviously they did not hit my site.  I posted a link on facebook and asked if nothing else to hit the site so I can get a little rank or share this so people would see it.  Not one person looked at it nor did anyone share.  I do not have many friends on facebook so mostly it is close friends or family members.
If you want people to seriously look at your site, you need to do it for THEIR benefit, not yours and don't be so DESPERATE or they will surely ignore you every time (as you noticed). For example, I have an About Me page on my website and in the right column are pictures of fun things I have been blessed to do because I have money I earned online. One is eating Hawaiian Shaved Ice in Hawaii,  a sunset shot from a condo balcony at the beach, shots from trips to Graceland and New Orleans, none of which would be as easy without extra money. It's common for people to see that and look further to find out how they can do it too. I don't pressure them, just leave little temptations where they can find them.

I am not trying to be mean or negative or hateful to you.  I really ain't.  If I could make "a few hundred" a month I would be ecstatic.  I have asked many times and have yet to receive any workable advice on how to get your site noticed.  And just because it gets noticed doesn't mean people will sign up thru my links.  They usually go directly to the website themselves and sign up so I do not get credit.  : (

I KNOW I have responded to your comments with workable advice many times, but if you can't see it working it doesn't help you. That does not mean the advice is not valid, it just means your attitude is the problem. Whether you think it will work or not, you are probably right.

I have said it on here more times than I can count, find a problem people have and offer a solution to them for free. For example I know people have a hard time getting referrals if they never have before, so try something that is tested and proven to work and keep trying until you meet success, then build on that.

I am running an offer to give away a free report on a traffic exchange right now. It has been running for two weeks and had 25 people read the report with no new referrals yet, but I am not going to give up. It's free (except for some time to earn credits to have it shown), so I don't care how long it takes.

I also know from experience that even if they don't join, they will remember me the next time they see an offer from me and my odds increase. I don't jump from one next big deal to another, so each time they read a new offer it follows the same theme and they notice things like that. One offer supports the next until they figure out there must be something to them. That alone is worth the effort when you have the right attitude.

Does any of that make sense?

I use to have an active blog a few years ago but will my busy schedule it has become more difficult to keep up with. So currently I do not maintain either a blog or website.

I have a website, but I haven't updated it in a while. I need to add a page explaining how to make money with a smartphone. The trouble is, I've been so busy doing that, I haven't had time to write about it!

I do not come across as desperate on my site.  The site is basically "do you want to make money from home" and telling people how to do so.  I have links to about 4 sites.  This one included.  IF someone signs up thru my link of course I get credit.  And with this site if they sign up and actually participate and cash out every month I can make a measly $5 a month.  Which with several refs can add up. 

I am not pressuring anyone.  I just have the site there.  You don't understand.  If you have a site or newsletter with thousands of people signed up then it is easy to post links and tons of people see it.

It doesn't matter how many times I "see it working".  Like I told you I have the site.  I have tried to get the link out there.  The only thing I can see really helping is if someone who has a lot of followers would post my link one time in a newsletter or on their site.  But most people would sign up for the sites themselves and put their own link on their page and make money for themselves.

I am not looking for sites like this to be a "real job".  Because it is not.  Even though people on here call this their job. lol.  From what I have seen most people on sites like these are drawing disability and THAT is their source of income. This is NOT a job no matter how much they claim it is and they "work online" lol.

I grasp what you are saying.  I am just saying it is not as easy as you make it seem.

The more success you have, the easier it gets, so just keep trying.

I run a blog. I maintain it sometimes and sometimes I add something new to it. I have some explanations on some of the content. I also encourage anyone to ask if they have questions.

I have a few blogs on Blogger, though they're now pretty much museum pieces as I haven't posted on them in YEARS.  I got bored with them and discouraged, as they didn't seem to be changing the world, lol.  Lately, though, I've been thinking about blogging again, but this time as a business.  This can be discouraging too, however.  On Pinterest there is a multitude of pins linking back to home business/work online/work from home type blogs.  At first, seeing them all was exciting and inspiring.  Then I started noticing that they were recycling the same ideas, advice, and opportunities.  So, apparently, what you can do to make money blogging is quite limited.  The trick, it seems, is to find a very unique variation on a theme.  That's probably why most people who try to make money blogging fail.

I have a tumblr but not really sure what the point is.  Not fooled with it a lot.  I do other sites more.  Pinterest is my addiction.  : (

The trick is finding something to get people interested.  Like the crazy woman who has a blog showing pinterest fails.  I have never watched anything of hers but have seen pins saying how hilarious she is.  I have a feeling I would just think she was being stupid.  But if you can get out there and get people to share your posts and links and get a bunch of followers then you are set.  I have tried and even though I am discouraged I will continue to try but I do not have anything to say that everyone wants to hear. lol

I have never tried that. I've though about it, but don't know how to go about it.
