WHY am I even HERE??
Hi all,
This is kind of a continuation of the 'Am I invisible' blog written by another member. Here is the deal, I was reading one of the 'apsense tips' from one of my good friends. One of his tips was to add 10 new people to your contact list daily. GOOD advice, IF it works. For me it did, but NOW ALL I have is a bunch of 'in review' status and some of these have been like that for quite some time. So much for THAT theory. The ONLY thing I can think of is BUYING referrals to build my network here. Apparently people are NOT EVEN bothering to open their inboxes(something I check DAILY). It would be nice to get some sort of reply, even if they decline the request. I would rather have that that NO REPLY at all(reminds me of the Phil Collins song). I will stay her ONLY because the friends I have made are GOOD friends. I can say for certain that I have received NEW members to MY 'Easy Ad Bucks' site because I track it and it shows my apsense link. So my sign ups ther ARE coming from HERE. Go figure. Have a NICE DAY!

Stop thinking of APSense as an opportunity, and start thinking of it as a networking site that just happens to pay. The commission levels are too low to bother with for the amount of work, and having access to most of the features for free makes upgrading or buying ads less important. If you want to make money with a networking opportunity, there are better plans available. Why are you here? To network for your business.

I'm still trying to figure out how to use ApSense I think!!! This blog is almost a year old and I'm just now commenting on it--Karl is making a great point here and I wanted to acknowledge that. All this trying to continually "brand" yourself can wear you out.

Wow..10 a day for any site would be nice. However, it's so true, that sometimes they sign up and dissapear out of the blue, never to be heard from again..lol. I've been very fortunate, in that the active folks are very active. Sometimes, it only takes a hand full of wonderul & motivated people. I think an active referal, is like hitting ......the Lottery! :-)
Even better, when their referee is supportive too!

Best wishes

Hi Angelkitty,
Thanks for your comment here. My upline person has a lot of blogs that he keeps referring me to ansd suggests that I read those but for the most part, I have been poking around and getting bits of info hre and there. I am actually getting BETTER info from the friends I have made. I have several VERY GOOD friends here so for that reason I will stay because their tips have helped me elsewhere. Have a GREAT DAY!

I know what you mean. I keep trying to participate on her; but other sites seem to do better in the interest category. Did the person that signed you up even bother to tell you how this all works?

I had no idea clams or even mussels had pearls. I was clamming for fishing bait purposes.

All Bi-Valves will secrete pearls if irritated, BigRose.
Pearls ( Hardened Mucous) are formed as a defense against foreign objects entering the creatures shell... I have found many pearls in clams and mussels, too-- They aren't as desirable as oyster cultivated pearls, though..
Karl Rose6
CORRECTION: clams do NOT have pearls(no wonder I did not find any). Oysters do. I went clamming but not searching for oysters. 2 different things. I just wanted to get that out. I realized miy error right after I hit enter. LOL

Goodm Afternoon Jeunelle and Old Coot,
I am glad I made this blog BECAUSE it DID answer my question. THANKS to your replies. I believe EVERYTHING is meant to happen for a reason. So I am here to find that illusive 'diamond' in the elephant crap. Not only do I need to get some LONG gloves on, but I need waist high rubber waders........hehehe. kind of like clamming. If any of you ever went digging for clams you know what I mean. You are knee high in mud and water and dig way down into the mud

Hi, Bigrose,
One of the things that I learnt very early on in life is that - if an elephant swallows a diamond - you will shovel elephant crap until you find it.
It is unfortunate that these social sites are beiing touted by the gurus as a source of raw, list building material. Many of the people joining have no further interest in the sites than to see their signature block be published - they create an awful lot of elephant crap - but the diamond is in there - - - - somewhere.
Keep di

Thank you ALL for your comments. This one little blog I wrote will help me here. The saying "there's a diamond in the rough" pretty much is true here. I have just been trying to latch on to things that would probably would have been a waste of my time any way. So I will continue to do like snakesmum said. I will continue to read blogs, comment where applicable, write a NEW one when needed etc. Doing this and LEARNING from the active people will work best for me. Again, THANKS everyone. Now I can

Unfortunately, many seem to take the request for contact as
permission to send daily ads. Not something I like, unless
requested.
Do check the newbies sometimes, and send a contact request,
but not often. Most of the contacts I have are inactive, and are
never seen on APsense, at least I don't see them.
My pleasure here comes from reading blogs, etc., and having
mine read and commented on. It really improves one's writing
skills! :-)

just want my account deleted
Hey Karl...Great tip from your friend alright...too bad it only works if enough people start doing it!
The ways the 'little people' on these sites could(and in some cases do!) help each other out are virtually endless...MORE people just need to start taking a better look at the bigger picture and DARE to try something other than the JUNK spoon-fed to them by the GOO-ROOS.
Every single business that succeeds NEEDS PEOPLE to succeed THEREFORE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE WHAT REALLY WORKS...a

I have ONE direct referral for Apsense, BigRose...
And that ONE referral hasn't written a single line since she signed up... My own personal feeling is that sinse I really don't need referrals, why bust my butt to sign up anybody and everybody, it's goofy to log in and look at dead weight every single day...
I happen to like writing here, and I certainly would desire people who love to write as my friends and partners... But that just doesn't seem to be the case just yet.
